Lease Agreement
Date: The Basic
Lease Information set forth on Page 1 and this Lease are and shall
be construed as a single instrument.
Landlord hereby
leases the Premises to Tenant upon the terms and conditions
contained herein. Tenant shall have the right to use, on a
non-exclusive basis, parking areas and ancillary facilities located
within the Common Areas of the Park, subject to the terms of this
Lease. Tenant further agrees that the number of rentable square
feet of the Building and the Park may subsequently change during
the Term of this Lease commensurate with any physical modifications
by Landlord, and Tenant’s Share shall accordingly change. In
addition, Tenant shall have the exclusive use of the loading dock
area located between the Building and Building B, as outlined on
Exhibit A attached hereto.
2. Occupancy;
Adjustment of Commencement Date
2.1 If on the
Commencement Date, Landlord has not delivered possession of the
Premises with the Tenant Improvements Substantially Completed (as
defined in Exhibit B hereto), Landlord shall not be subject to
any liability nor shall the validity of the Lease be affected;
provided, however, the Lease Term and the obligation to pay Rent,
except as set forth in the Basic Lease Information, shall commence
on the date on which Landlord has Substantially Completed the
Tenant Improvements in accordance with the provisions of
Exhibit B hereto and the annual Adjustments to Base Rent shall
be adjusted accordingly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event Landlord cannot deliver to Tenant possession of the Premises
with all Tenant Improvements Substantially Complete (as defined in
Exhibit B) by February 1, 2000 (“Outside
Date”) (subject to Force Majeure Delays and Tenant Delays, as
such terms are defined in Exhibit B, in which event the
Outside Date shall be extended commensurately by the period of time
attributable to such delays), Tenant shall receive a credit against
Base Rent equal to one (1) day’s Base Rent for each day
beyond the Outside Date that possession of the Premises is
delivered to Tenant with the Tenant Improvements Substantially
Complete, but Landlord shall neither be subject to any other
liability nor shall the validity of the Lease be affected. In the
event Landlord is unable to obtain a building permit
(“Permit”) for the Tenant Improvements on or before
December 31, 1999, then, following such date,
Landlord may
terminate this Lease upon written notice delivered to Tenant by
January 10, 2000. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that
Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy for Landlord’s
failure to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant with the
Tenant Improvements Substantially Complete on or before the Outside
Date (whether due to the failure of Landlord to Substantially
Complete the Tenant Improvements, to obtain the Permit or
otherwise) shall be to accept a
5
credit to Base
Rent equal to one (1) day of Base Rent for each day beyond the
Outside Date that possession of the Premises is delivered to Tenant
with the Tenant Improvements Substantially Complete, provided
however, the maximum credit to Tenant for any delay due to not
receiving the initial building permit from the City of San Jose as
scheduled, shall be thirty (30) days. Upon Landlord’s
delivery to Tenant of possession of the Premises with the Tenant
Improvements Substantially Complete, Tenant shall promptly deliver
written notice to Landlord confirming same (however, any failure by
Tenant to deliver to Landlord such written notice shall not affect
the effectiveness of this Lease). If the commencement date and/or
the expiration date of this Lease is other than the Commencement
Date and/or Expiration Date specified herein, Landlord and Tenant
shall execute a written amendment to this Lease, substantially in
the form of Exhibit F hereto, wherein the parties shall
specify the actual commencement date, expiration date and the date
on which Tenant is to commence paying Rent. The word
“Term” whenever used herein refers to the initial term
of this Lease and any extension thereof.
2.2 Within three
(3) business days after the Substantial Completion of the
Tenant Improvements, representatives of Landlord and Tenant shall
make a joint inspection of the Tenant Improvements and the results
of such inspection shall be set forth in a written list specifying
the incomplete items as well as those items for which corrections
need to be made (the “Punchlist Items”). Landlord and
Tenant shall promptly (by no later than three (3) business
days thereafter) and in good faith approve the written list of
Punchlist Items. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to cause the Punchlist Items to be promptly completed and/or
corrected, as applicable. The performance of the work associated
with the Punchlist Items shall be performed in such a manner so as
not to preclude or substantially prevent Tenant’s ability to
conduct its operations in the Premises. Upon the completion of the
Punchlist Items, to Tenant’s reasonable satisfaction, Tenant
shall immediately notify Landlord in writing that such items have
been completed to Tenant’s reasonable satisfaction. In
addition to the Punchlist Items, Landlord shall also use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause the general contractor to
correct any other deficiencies or defects in the Tenant
Improvements during the thirty (30) day period following
Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements. Except as set
forth below, if Tenant fails to timely deliver to Landlord any such
written notice of the aforementioned deficiencies or defects within
said 30-day period, Landlord shall have no obligation to perform
any such work thereafter. Landlord and the General Contractor (as
defined in Exhibit B) shall provide Tenant with a customary
warranty for the Tenant Improvements for a period of one
(1) year following Substantial Completion; provided, however,
any claim by Tenant under said warranty against General Contractor
must be made by Tenant in writing within said one (1) year
period and must include the specific nature of the problem. Tenant
shall have the right , together with Landlord, to concurrently
enforce any warranties made by the General Contractor or material
suppliers in favor of Landlord with respect to the construction of
the Tenant Improvements. In addition, Tenant shall be subrogated to
the rights of Landlord against the General Contractor to the extend
Tenant has paid amounts to Landlord to correct defects or
deficiencies in the construction of the Tenant
Improvements.
6
2.3 If, at any
time, Tenant is in material default of any term, condition or
provision of this Lease beyond any applicable cure period, any such
waiver by Landlord of Tenant’s requirement to pay Rent shall
be null and void and Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord all
Rent so waived by Landlord.
On the date that
Tenant executes this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the
original executed Lease, the Advance Rent (which shall be applied
against the Rent payable for the first month Tenant is required to
pay Rent), the Security Deposit, and all insurance certificates
evidencing the insurance required to be obtained by Tenant under
Section 12 of this Lease. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord the
Base Rent, without prior notice or demand, abatement, offset,
deduction or claim, in advance at Landlord’s Address on the
Commencement Date and thereafter on the first (1st) day of each
month throughout the balance of the Term of the Lease. In addition
to the Base Rent, Tenant shall pay Landlord in advance on the
Commencement Date and thereafter on the first (1st) day of each
month throughout the balance of the Term of this Lease, as
Additional Rent, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, Tax
Expenses, Common Area Utility Costs, and Utility Expenses. The term
“Rent” whenever used herein refers to the aggregate of
all these amounts. The Rent for any fractional part of a calendar
month at the commencement or termination of the Lease Term shall be
a prorated amount of the Rent for a full calendar month based upon
the actual number of days in such month. The prorated Rent shall be
paid on the Commencement Date and the first day of the calendar
month in which the date of expiration or termination occurs, as the
case may be.
Simultaneously
with Tenant’s execution and delivery of this Lease, Tenant
shall deliver to Landlord, as a Security Deposit for the
performance by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease, the
amount specified in the Basic Lease Information. If Tenant is in
material default, Landlord may, but without obligation to do so,
use the Security Deposit, or any portion thereof, to cure the
material default or to compensate Landlord for all damages
sustained by Landlord resulting from Tenant’s default. Tenant
shall, immediately on demand, pay to Landlord a sum equal to the
portion of the Security Deposit so applied or used so as to
replenish the amount of the Security Deposit held to increase such
deposit to the amount initially deposited with Landlord. In the
event Tenant has materially defaulted more than three
(3) times during the Term, Landlord may require an increase in
the amount of the Security Deposit required hereunder for the then
balance of the Lease Term to an amount equal to two (2) times
the amount of the Security Deposit set forth in the Basic Lease
Information and Tenant shall, immediately on demand, pay to
Landlord additional sums in the amount of such increase. Within
thirty (30) days after the expiration or earlier termination
of this Lease, Landlord shall return the Security Deposit to
Tenant, less such amounts as are reasonably necessary to remedy
Tenant’s material default(s) hereunder or to otherwise
restore and repair the Premises to a clean and safe condition,
reasonable wear and tear excepted. If the cost to restore and
repair the Premises exceeds the amount of the Security Deposit,
Tenant shall promptly deliver to Landlord any and all of such
excess sums as reasonably determined by Landlord. Landlord shall
not be required to keep the
7
Security
Deposit separate from other funds, and, unless otherwise required
by law, Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on the Security
Deposit. In no event or circumstance shall Tenant have the right to
any use of the Security Deposit and, specifically, Tenant may not
use the Security Deposit as a credit or to otherwise offset any
payments required hereunder, including, but not limited to, Rent or
any portion thereof. In the event Landlord draws down the Letter of
Credit in an amount which exceeds the amounts required to cure
Tenant’s material defaults under this Lease, such excess
amounts shall be treated at Landlord’s option, either
(i) as part of the Security Deposit for purposes of this Lease
or (ii) be returned to the Issuer of the Letter of Credit. The
Letter of Credit shall be amended to reflect the addition of such
amounts to the Letter of Credit and Tenant shall, as required by
Section 42 of this Lease, provide Landlord with a new or
additional Letter of Credit such that Landlord shall hold an
original Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the Letter of
Credit originally delivered to Landlord.
5. Condition of
Premises; Improvements
Tenant hereby
agrees to accept the Premises upon Landlord’s Substantial
Completion of the Tenant Improvements as suitable for
Tenant’s intended use and as then being in good operating
order, condition and repair in its then “AS IS”
condition, except for the (i) correction of any Punchlist
Items in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2 hereof,
(ii) the thirty (30) day period referenced in 2.2 above
with respect to defects or deficiencies, and (iii) and
Landlord shall deliver the electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems in
good working conditions for a period of ninety (90) days. The
Tenant Improvements (as such term is defined in Exhibit B
hereto) shall be installed by Landlord in accordance with the
terms, conditions, criteria and provisions set forth in
Exhibit B. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this
Lease, by taking possession of the Premises with the Tenant
Improvements Substantially Completed, Tenant shall be deemed to
have then accepted the Premises in good, clean and completed
condition and state of repair. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to
and shall be bound by the terms, conditions and provisions of
Exhibit B. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that neither
Landlord nor any of Landlord’s agents, representatives or
employees has made any representations as to the suitability,
fitness or condition of the Premises for the conduct of
Tenant’s business or for any other purpose, including without
limitation, any storage incidental thereto. Any exception to the
foregoing provisions must be made by express written agreement by
both parties. In addition, Landlord shall provide one roll up door
at Landlord’s sole cost and expense in the location shown on
Exhibit A.
It is intended by
Landlord and Tenant that this Lease be a “triple net
lease.” The costs and expenses described in this
Section 6 and all other sums, charges, costs and expenses
specified in this Lease other than Base Rent are to be paid by
Tenant to Landlord as additional rent (collectively,
“Additional Rent”).
6.1 Operating
Expenses: In addition to the Base Rent set forth in Section 3,
Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Share of all Operating Expenses
as
8
Additional
Rent. The term “Operating Expenses” as used herein
shall mean the amounts paid or payable by Landlord in connection
with the management, maintenance, repair and operation of the
Premises and the Building , and where applicable, of the Park.
These Operating Expenses may include, but are not limited to,
Landlord’s cost of:
6.1.1 repairs to,
and maintenance of, the non-structural portions of the roof, the
roof membrane and the non-structural elements of the perimeter
exterior walls of the Building;
6.1.2 maintaining
the outside paved area, landscaping and other common areas of the
Park. The term “Common Areas” shall mean all areas and
facilities within the Park exclusive of the Premises and the other
portions of the Park leasable exclusively to other tenants. The
Common Areas include, but are not limited to, interior lobbies,
mezzanines, parking areas, access and perimeter roads, sidewalks,
rail spurs, landscaped areas and similar areas and
facilities;
6.1.3 annual
insurance premium(s) for insuring against fire and extended
coverage (including, if Landlord elects, “all risk” or
“special purpose” coverage) and all other insurance,
including, but not limited to, earthquake, flood and/or surface
water endorsements for the Building and the Park (including the
Common Areas), rental value insurance against loss of Rent in an
amount equal to the amount of Rent for a period of at least nine
(9) months commencing on the date of loss, and subject to the
provisions of Section 27 below, any deductible;

this Lease;
(i) Costs of
correcting defects in the initial design or construction of the
Shell Improvements or the repair or replacement of any original

6.2 Tax Expenses:
In addition to the Base Rent set forth in Section 3, Tenant
shall pay Tenant’s Share of all real property taxes
applicable to the Park and one hundred percent (100%) of all
personal property taxes now or hereafter assessed or levied against
the Premises or Tenant’s Property (defined below). Tenant
shall also reimburse and pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, within
ten (10) days after demand therefor, one hundred percent
(100%) of (i) any increase in real property taxes attributable
to any and all Alterations (defined below), Tenant Improvements,
fixtures, equipment or other improvements of any kind whatsoever
placed in, on or about the Premises for the benefit of, at the
request of, or by Tenant, and (ii) taxes assessed upon or with
respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management,
maintenance, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or
any portion of the Building. The term “Tax Expenses”
shall mean and include, without limitation, any form of tax and
assessment (general, special, supplemental, ordinary or
extraordinary), entitlement fees, allocation fees, sewer use fees
and/or similar fees or charges, commercial rental tax, payments
under any improvement bond or bonds, license fees, license tax,
business license fee, rental tax, transaction tax or levy imposed
by any authority having the direct or indirect power of tax
(including any city, county, state or federal government, or any
school, agricultural, lighting, drainage or other improvement
district thereof) as against any legal or equitable interest of
Landlord in the Premises, the Building or the Park or any other
tax, fee, or excise, however described, including, but not limited
to, any value added tax, or any tax imposed in substitution
(partially or totally) of any tax previously included within
the
11
definition of
real property taxes, or any additional tax the nature of which was
previously included within the definition of real property taxes.
The term “Tax Expenses” shall not include any
(i) franchise, estate, inheritance, net income, or excess
profits tax imposed upon Landlord, (ii) a penalty or fee
imposed as a result of Landlord’s failure to pay Tax Expenses
when due or (iii) any item included in Operating
Expenses.
6.3 Payment of
Expenses: Landlord shall estimate Tenant’s Share of the
Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses for the calendar year in which
the Lease commences. Commencing on the Commencement Date,
one-twelfth (1/12th) of this estimated amount shall be paid by
Tenant to Landlord, as Additional Rent, and thereafter on the first
(1st) day of each month throughout the remaining months of such
calendar year. Thereafter, Landlord may estimate such expenses as
of the beginning of each calendar year during the Term of this
Lease and Tenant shall pay one-twelfth (1/12th) of such estimated
amount as Additional Rent hereunder on the first (1st) day of each
month during such calendar year and for each ensuing calendar year
throughout the Term of this Lease. Tenant’s obligation to pay
Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses shall
survive the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease.
6.4 Annual
Reconciliation: By May 1st of each calendar year, or as soon
thereafter as reasonably possible, Landlord shall furnish Tenant
with an accounting of actual and accrued Operating Expenses and Tax
Expenses. Within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s delivery
of such accounting, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of any
underpayment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure by Landlord to
give such accounting by such date shall not constitute a waiver by
Landlord of its right to collect any of Tenant’s underpayment
at any time. Landlord shall credit the amount of any overpayment by
Tenant toward the next estimated monthly installment(s) falling
due, or where the Term of the Lease has expired, refund the amount
of overpayment to Tenant. If the Term of the Lease expires prior to
the annual reconciliation of expenses Landlord shall have the right
to reasonably estimate Tenant’s Share of such expenses, and
if Landlord determines that an underpayment is due, Tenant hereby
agrees that Landlord shall be entitled to deduct such underpayment
from Tenant’s Security Deposit. If Landlord reasonably
determines that an overpayment has been made by Tenant, Landlord
shall refund said overpayment to Tenant as soon as practicable
thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure of Landlord to
accurately estimate Tenant’s Share of such expenses or to
otherwise perform such reconciliation of expenses, including
without limitation, Landlord’s failure to deduct any portion
of any underpayment from Tenant’s Security Deposit, shall not
constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right to collect any of
Tenant’s underpayment at any time during the Term of the
Lease or at any time after the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease.
6.5 Audit: After
delivery to Landlord of at least thirty (30) days prior
written notice, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense through any
accountant designated by it, shall have the right to examine and/or
audit the books and records evidencing such costs and expenses for
the previous one (1) calendar year, during Landlord’s
reasonable business hours and not more frequently than once during
any calendar year. Any such accounting firm designated by Tenant
may not be compensated on a contingency fee basis. The results of
any such audit
12
(and any
negotiations between the parties related thereto) shall be
maintained strictly confidential by Tenant and its accounting firm
and shall not be disclosed, published or otherwise disseminated to
any other party other than to Landlord and its authorized agents.
Landlord and Tenant shall use their best efforts to cooperate and
promptly resolve any discrepancies between Landlord and Tenant in
the accounting of such costs and expenses. If through such audit it
is determined that there is a discrepancy of more than six percent
(6%), then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable
accounting costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in performing such
audit including Tenant’s in-house or outside auditors or
accountants. However, if through such audit it is determined that
there is a discrepancy of six percent (6%) or less, then Tenant
shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable accounting costs and
expenses associated with Landlord’s in-house auditors or
accounting personnel as well as those reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by Landlord for any outside accounting firms or auditors
in connection with such audit within ten (10) days after
receipt of written demand therefor. In the event that any other
tenant audits or reviews Operating Expenses and an adjustment is
made such same adjustment shall be made with respect to
Tenant.
7. Utilities
and Services
In addition to the
Base Rent set forth in Section 3 hereof, Tenant shall pay the
cost of all (i) water, sewer use, sewer discharge fees and
sewer connection fees, gas, electricity, telephone,
telecommunications, cabling and other utilities billed or metered
separately to the Premises; and (ii) refuse pickup and
janitorial service to the Premises. Utility Expenses, Common Area
Utility Costs and all other sums or charges set forth in this
Section 7 are considered part of Additional Rent.
7.1 Utility
Expenses: For any utility fees, use charges or similar services
that are not billed or metered separately to Tenant, including
without limitation, water charges (“Utility Expenses”),
(i) Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant’s Share of
Utility Expenses, as Additional Rent and (ii) if Landlord
reasonably determines that Tenant’s Share is not commensurate
with Tenant’s use of such services, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord the amount which is attributable to Tenant’s use of
the utilities or similar services, as reasonably estimated and
determined by Landlord based upon factors such as size of the
Premises and intensity of use of such utilities by Tenant such that
Tenant shall pay the portion of such charges reasonably consistent
with Tenant’s use of such utilities and similar services. If
Tenant disputes any such estimate or determination, then Tenant
shall either pay the estimated amount or cause the Premises to be
separately metered at Tenant’s sole expense.
7.2 Common Area
Utility Costs: Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant’s Share of
any Common Area utility costs, fees, charges or expenses
(“Common Area Utility Costs”). Tenant shall pay to
Landlord one-twelfth (1/12th) of the estimated amount of
Tenant’s Share of the Common Area Utility Costs on the
Commencement Date and thereafter on the first (1st) day of each
month throughout the balance of the Term of this Lease. Any
reconciliation thereof shall be substantially in the same manner as
set forth in Section 6.4 above.
13
7.3 Miscellaneous:
Tenant acknowledges that the Premises may become subject to the
rationing of utility services or restrictions on utility use as
required by a public utility company, governmental agency or other
similar entity having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding any
such rationing or restrictions on use of any such utility services,
Tenant acknowledges and agrees that its tenancy and occupancy
hereunder shall be subject to such rationing restrictions as may be
imposed upon Landlord, Tenant, the Premises, the Building, or the
Park, 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 further agrees to
timely and faithfully pay, prior to delinquency, any amount, tax,
charge, surcharge, assessment or imposition levied, assessed or
imposed upon the Premises, or Tenant’s use and occupancy
thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
if permitted by applicable Laws, Landlord shall have the right at
any time and from time to time during the Term of this Lease to
either contract for service from a different company or companies
(each such company shall be referred to herein as an
“Alternate Service Provider”) other than the company or
companies presently providing electricity service for the Building
or the Park (the “Electric Service Provider”) or
continue to contract for service from the Electric Service
Provider, at Landlord’s reasonable discretion. Tenant hereby
agrees to cooperate with Landlord, the Electric Service Provider,
and any Alternate Service Provider at all times and, as reasonably
necessary, shall allow Landlord, the Electric Service Provider, and
any Alternate Service Provider reasonable access to the
Building’s electric lines, feeders, risers, wiring, and any
other machinery within the Premises. Landlord shall use
Landlord’s commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any
interruption to Tenant’s business operations in connection
with the discontinuation of any Electric Service Provider and the
commencement of service by an Alternative Service Provider and
Landlord shall give Tenant at least ten (10) days prior
written notice of the date of any such discontinuation and
commencement.
Any and all sums
or charges set forth in this Section 8 are considered part of
Additional Rent. Tenant acknowledges that late payment (the fourth
(4th) day of each month or any time thereafter) by Tenant to
Landlord of Base Rent, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses,
Tax Expenses, Common Area Utility Costs, and Utility Expenses or
other sums due hereunder, will cause Landlord to incur costs not
contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being
extremely difficult and impracticable to fix. Such costs include,
without limitation, processing and accounting charges, and late
charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any note
secured by any encumbrance against the Premises, and late charges
and penalties due to the late payment of taxes and expenses with
respect to the Premises. Therefore, if any installment of Rent or
any other sum due from Tenant is not received by Landlord within
three (3) days of the date when due, Tenant shall promptly pay
to Landlord an additional sum equal to seven percent (7%) of such
delinquent amount plus interest on such delinquent amount at the
rate equal to the prime rate plus three percent (3%) for the time
period such payments are delinquent as a late charge for every
month or portion thereof that such sums remain unpaid. If Tenant
delivers to Landlord a check for which there are not sufficient
funds, Landlord
14
may, at its
sole option, require Tenant to replace such check with a
cashier’s check for the amount of such check and all other
charges payable hereunder. The parties agree that this late charge
and the other charges referenced above represent a fair and
reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason
of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of any late charge or other
charges shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of Tenant’s
default with respect to the delinquent amount, nor prevent Landlord
from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to
Landlord for any other breach of Tenant under this Lease. If a late
charge or other charge becomes payable for any three
(3) installments of Rent within any twelve (12) month
period, then Landlord, at Landlord’s sole option, can either
require the Rent be paid quarterly in advance, or be paid monthly
in advance by cashier’s check or by electronic funds
transfer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, if Tenant is late in making any of the payments described
in this Section 8 to Landlord hereunder in any two
(2) instances during the Term of this Lease, then Landlord
hereby waives the requirement that Tenant pay to Landlord a late
charge for such late payments.
9.1 Compliance
with Laws, Recorded Matters, and Rules and Regulations: The
Premises are to be used solely for the purposes and uses specified
in the Basic Lease Information and for no other uses or purposes
without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed so long as the proposed use
(i) does not involve the use of Hazardous Materials other than
as expressly permitted under the provisions of Section 29
below, (ii) does not require any additional parking in excess
of the parking spaces already allotted to Tenant pursuant to the
provisions of Section 24 of this Lease, and (iii) is
compatible and consistent with the other uses then being made in
the Park and in other similar types of buildings in the vicinity of
the Park, as reasonably determined by Landlord. The use of the
Premises by Tenant and its employees, representatives, agents,
invitees, licensees, subtenants, customers or contractors
(collectively, “Tenant’s Representatives”) shall
be subject to, and at all times in compliance with, (a) any
and all applicable laws, ordinances, statutes, orders and
regulations as same exist from time to time (collectively, the
“Laws”), (b) any and all documents, easements,
covenants, conditions and restrictions, and similar instruments,
each of which has been or hereafter is recorded in any official or
public records with respect to the Premises, the Building and/or
the Park, or any portion thereof (collectively, the “Recorded
Matters”), and (c) any and all rules and regulations set
forth in Exhibit C, attached to and made a part of this Lease,
any other reasonable rules and regulations promulgated by Landlord
now or hereafter enacted relating to parking and the operation of
the Premises, the Building, and the Park, and any and all rules,
restrictions and/or regulations imposed by any applicable owners
association or similar entity or body (collectively, the
“Rules and Regulations”); provided, none of the
Recorded Matters which are subsequently recorded after the Lease
Date shall materially and adversely affect Tenant’s use
and/or business operations at the Premises (excluding any liens
related to any mortgage, deed of trust or similar type of security
interest (but still subject to the terms of Section 17).
Tenant agrees to comply with the provisions of the Rules and
Regulations adopted by the
15
Landlord;
provided, however, that such Rules and Regulations shall be
enforced equally as to all tenants located in the Building.
Additionally, Landlord agrees not to adopt any Rule or Regulation
which adversely and materially affects the use and/or business
operations of the Tenant on the Premises. Landlord shall use
reasonable efforts to ensure other tenants comply with the Rules
and Regulations (provided, Landlord shall not be required to
institute or prosecute litigation or expend more than nominal
amounts in connection with such efforts. Tenant agrees to, and does
hereby, assume full and complete responsibility to ensure that the
Premises, including without limitation, the Tenant Improvements,
are adequate to fully meet the needs and requirements of
Tenant’s intended operations of its business within the
Premises, and Tenant’s use of the Premises is in compliance
with all applicable Laws throughout the Term of this Lease.
Additionally, Tenant shall be solely responsible for the payment of
all costs, fees and expenses associated with any modifications,
improvements or alterations to the Premises, Building, the Common
Areas and/or the Park required by the enactment of, or changes to,
any Laws after the Lease Date and arising from Tenant’s
particular use of the Premises or alterations, improvements or
additions made to the Premises regardless of when such Laws became
effective. Tenant shall not initiate, submit an application for, or
otherwise request, any land use approvals or entitlements with
respect to any portion of the Park, including without limitation,
any variance, conditional use permit or rezoning, without first
obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent thereto, which
consent may be given or withheld in Landlord’s sole
discretion.
9.2 Prohibition on
Use: Tenant shall not use the Premises or permit anything to be
done in or about the Premises nor keep or bring anything therein
which will in any way increase the existing rate of or affect any
policy of fire or other insurance upon the Building or any of its
contents, or cause a cancellation of any insurance policy. No
auctions may be held or otherwise conducted in, on or about the
Premises, the Building, or the Park without Landlord’s
written consent thereto, which consent may be given or withheld in
Landlord’s sole discretion. Tenant shall not do or permit
anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way
obstruct or interfere with the rights of Landlord, other tenants or
occupants of the Building and/or other buildings in the Park. The
Premises shall not be used for any unlawful purpose; nor shall
Tenant cause, maintain or permit any private or public nuisance in,
on or about the Premises, Building, Park and/or the Common Areas,
including, but not limited to, any offensive odors, noises, fumes
or vibrations. Tenant shall neither damage or deface or otherwise
commit or suffer to be committed any waste in, upon or about the
Premises. Tenant shall not place or store, nor permit any other
person or entity to place or store, any property, equipment,
materials, supplies, personal property or any other items or goods
outside of the Premises nor park any motor vehicles for any period
of time greater than forty eight (48) hours, provided the
parking of such motor vehicles and/or the storage of such property,
equipment, materials, supplies and personal property shall neither
violate any Laws, interfere with any other tenants’
operations, not disturb any neighboring properties, tenants or
residents nor interfere with ingress or egress to any portion of
the Park. Tenant shall not permit any animals, including, but not
limited to, any household pets, to be brought or kept in or about
the Premises. Tenant shall not install any radio or television
antenna, satellite dish, microwave, loudspeaker or other device
on
16
the roof or
exterior walls of the Building. Tenant shall not interfere with
radio, telecommunication, or television broadcasting or reception
from or in the Building or elsewhere. Tenant shall place no loads
upon the floors, walls, or ceilings in excess of the maximum
designed load permitted by the applicable Uniform Building Code or

harmful liquids in the drainage systems; nor dump or store waste
materials, refuse or other such materials, or allow such materials
to remain outside the Building area, except for any non-hazardous
or non-harmful materials which may be stored in refuse dumpsters.
If Tenant fails to comply with such Laws, Recorded Matters, Rules
and Regulations or the provisions of this Lease, Landlord shall
have the right to collect from Tenant a reasonable sum as a
penalty, in addition to all rights and remedies of Landlord
hereunder, including without limitation, Landlord’s costs and
expenses, if any, to cure any of such failures of Tenant, if
Landlord, at its sole option, elects to undertake such cure and
such costs and expenses shall be due and owing from Tenant to
Landlord within ten (10) days after Tenant’s receipt of
written demand therefor.
10.
Alterations; Surrender of Premises
10.1 Alterations:
Tenant shall not install any signs, fixtures, improvements, nor
make or permit any other alterations or additions (individually, an
“Alteration”, and collectively, the
“Alterations”) to the Premises without the prior
written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. However, Tenant shall be
permitted to hang pictures and shelving and perform other similar
minor decorating activities and to perform non-structural
alterations not exceeding an aggregate of $25,000 during any
calendar year without securing Landlord’s prior consent
(“Permitted Improvements”), provided that Tenant
(i) complies with all pertinent building codes and fire,
safety and other such governmental regulations, (ii) does not
take any action which could in any way impact the structural,
mechanical, electrical, maintenance, HVAC or plumbing systems of
the Premises and/or exterior appearance of the Building and
(iii) submits its plans for such Alterations to Landlord at
least fifteen (15) business days prior to commencement of such
Alterations (except as to minor decorative items and installations
of furniture for which plans are not required). Within ten (10)
business days following Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s
written notice with respect to Tenant’s performance of any
Permitted Improvements and at such time as Landlord may approve
other Alterations, Landlord shall notify Tenant, in writing,
whether or not Landlord will require Tenant to remove such
Permitted Improvements and Alterations from the Premises upon the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. If any such
Alteration is expressly permitted by Landlord, Tenant shall deliver
at least ten (10) days prior notice to Landlord, from the date
Tenant intends to commence construction, sufficient to enable
Landlord to post a Notice of Non-Responsibility. In all events,
Tenant shall obtain all permits or other governmental approvals
prior to commencing any of such work and deliver a copy of same to
Landlord. All Alterations shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and
expense, and shall be installed by a licensed contractor (approved
by Landlord) in compliance with all applicable Laws (including, but
not limited to, the ADA as defined herein), Recorded Matters, and
Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall keep the Premises and the
property on which the Premises are situated free from any liens
arising out of any work performed,
17
materials
furnished or obligations incurred by or on behalf of Tenant. Tenant
shall, prior to construction of any and all Alterations, provide
additional insurance as required, and also such assurances to
Landlord, including without limitation, waivers of lien, surety
company performance bonds as Landlord shall require to assure
payment of the costs thereof to protect Landlord, the Building and
the Park from and against any loss from any mechanic’s,
materialmen’s or other liens.
10.2 Surrender of
Premises: At the end of the Term or earlier termination of this
Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord (a) in
good condition and repair (damage by acts of God, casualty, and
normal wear and tear excepted), but with all interior walls
cleaned, any carpets cleaned, all floors cleaned and waxed, all
non-working light bulbs and ballasts replaced and all roll-up doors
and plumbing fixtures in good condition and working order, and (b)
otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 29
hereof. 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, without
limitation, any marks or stains on any portion of the floors), and
any damage or deterioration that would not have reasonably been
prevented by proper maintenance by Tenant, or Tenant otherwise
performing all of its obligations under this Lease. On or before
the expiration or earlier 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 Park 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 (except those Permitted Improvements and
Alterations of which Landlord has notified Tenant in writing, at
the time set forth in Section 10.1, that Landlord will not
require such removal) and to repair any damage caused by such
removal. For purposes hereof, the term “Tenant’s
Property” shall mean and refer to all equipment, trade
fixtures, furnishings, goods and personal property of Tenant. 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 Tenant Improvements and Alterations, except
those which Tenant is required to remove, shall remain in the
Premises as the property of Landlord. If the Premises are not
surrendered at the end of the Term or earlier termination of this
Lease, and in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 10 and Section 29 below, Tenant shall continue to
be responsible for the payment of Rent (as the same may be
increased pursuant to Section 22 below) until the Premises are
so surrendered in accordance with said provisions, and Tenant shall
indemnify, defend and hold the Indemnitees (hereafter defined)
harmless from and against any and all damages, expenses, costs,
losses or liabilities arising from any delay by Tenant in so
surrendering the Premises including, without limitation, any
damages, expenses, costs, losses or liabilities arising from any
claim against Landlord made by any succeeding tenant or prospective
tenant founded on or resulting from such delay and
losses
18
and damages
suffered by Landlord due to lost opportunities to lease any portion
of the Premises to any such succeeding tenant or prospective
tenant, together with, in each case, actual attorneys’ fees
and costs.
11. Repairs and
Maintenance
11.1
Tenant’s Repairs and Maintenance Obligations: Except for
those portions of the Building to be maintained by Landlord, as
provided in Sections 11.2 and 11.3 below, Tenant shall, at its sole
cost and expense, keep and maintain all parts of the Premises and
such portions of the Building and improvements as are within the
exclusive control of Tenant in good, clean and safe condition and
repair, promptly making all necessary repairs and replacements,
whether ordinary or extraordinary, with materials and workmanship
of the same character, kind and quality as the original thereof,
all of the foregoing to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord
including, but not limited to, repairing any damage caused by
Tenant or any of Tenant’s Representatives and replacing any

Representatives. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Tenant shall be solely responsible for promptly maintaining,
repairing and replacing (a) all plumbing work and fixtures
exclusively serving the Premises, (b) electrical wiring
systems, fixtures and equipment exclusively serving the Premises,
(c) all interior lighting (including, without limitation,
light bulbs and/or ballasts) and exterior lighting exclusively
serving the Premises or adjacent to the Premises, (d) all
glass, windows, window frames, window casements, skylights,
interior and exterior doors, door frames and door closers,

without limitation, dock bumpers, dock plates, dock seals, dock
levelers and dock lights, (f) all tenant signage,

(h) security systems, except to the extent maintained by
Landlord, and (i) all partitions, fixtures, equipment,
interior painting, interior walls and floors, and floor coverings
of the Premises and every part thereof (including, without
limitation, any demising walls contiguous to any portion of the
Premises). Additionally, Tenant shall be solely responsible for
performance of the regular removal of trash and debris.
11.2 Maintenance
by Landlord: Subject to the provisions of Section 11.1, and
further subject to Tenant’s obligation under Section 6
to reimburse Landlord, in the form of Additional Rent, for
Tenant’s Share of the cost and expense of the following
described items, Landlord agrees to (i) repair, maintain and
replace the fire protection and sprinkler systems serving the
Premises and all mechanical and heating, ventilation and air
conditioning systems serving the Premises and (ii) repair and
maintain the following items: fire protection services; the roof
and 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 plumbing and
mechanical systems serving the Building, excluding the plumbing,
mechanical and electrical systems exclusively serving the Premises;
any rail spur and rail crossing; exterior painting of the Building;
and the parking areas, pavement, landscaping, sprinkler systems,
sidewalks, driveways, curbs, and lighting systems in the Common
Areas. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11 to the
contrary, Landlord shall have the right to either repair or to
require Tenant to
19
repair any
damage to any portion of the Premises, the Building, the Common
Areas and/or the Park caused by or created due to any act,
omission, negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any of
Tenant Representatives and to restore the Premises, the Building,
the Common Areas and/or the Park, 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 within ten
(10) days after written demand therefor for all costs and
expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith. Tenant shall
promptly report in writing to Landlord any defective condition
known to it which Landlord is required to repair, and failure to so
report such defects shall make Tenant responsible to Landlord for
any liability proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to
report such condition.
11.3
Landlord’s Repairs and Maintenance Obligations: Subject to
the provisions of Sections 11.1, 27 and 28, and except for
repairs rendered necessary by the intentional or negligent acts or
omissions of Tenant or any of Tenant’s Representatives,
Landlord agrees, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, to
(a) keep in good repair the structural portions of the floors,
foundations and exterior perimeter walls of the Building (exclusive
of glass and exterior doors), and (b) replace the structural
portions of the roof of the Building (excluding the roof membrane).
Tenant shall promptly report in writing to Landlord any defective
condition known to it which Landlord is required to repair, and
failure to so report such defects shall make Tenant responsible to
Landlord for any liability proximately caused by Tenant’s
failure to report such condition.
11.4
Tenant’s Failure to Perform Repairs and Maintenance
Obligations: Tenant shall have no right of access to or right to
install any device on the roof of the Building nor make any
penetrations of the roof of the Building without the express prior
written consent of Landlord. If Tenant refuses or neglects to
repair and maintain the Premises and the other areas properly as
required herein , Landlord may, but without obligation to do so, at
any time make such repairs and/or maintenance without Landlord
having any liability to Tenant for any loss or damage that may
accrue to Tenant’s merchandise, fixtures or other property,
or to Tenant’s business by reason thereof, except to the
extent any damage is caused by the willful misconduct or gross
negligence of Landlord or its authorized agents and
representatives. In the event Landlord makes such repairs and/or
maintenance, upon completion thereof Tenant shall pay to Landlord,
as Additional Rent, within ten (10) days after receipt of
written demand therefor, Landlord’s actual costs for making
such repairs and/or maintenance. The obligations of Tenant
hereunder shall survive the expiration of the Term of this Lease or
the earlier termination thereof. Tenant hereby waives any right to
repair at the expense of Landlord under any applicable Laws now or
hereafter in effect respecting the Premises.
12.1 Types of
Insurance: Tenant shall maintain in full force and effect at all
times during the Term of this Lease, at Tenant’s sole cost
and expense, for the protection of Tenant and Landlord, as their
interests may appear, policies of insurance issued by a carrier or
carriers reasonably acceptable to
20
Landlord and
its lender(s) which afford the following coverages:
(i) worker’s compensation: statutory limits;
(ii) employer’s liability, as required by law, with a
minimum limit of $100,000 per employee and $500,000 per occurrence;
(iii) commercial general liability insurance (occurrence form)
providing coverage against any and all claims for bodily injury and
property damage occurring in, on or about the Premises arising out
of Tenant’s and Tenant’s Representatives’ use
and/or occupancy of the Premises. Such insurance shall include
coverage for blanket contractual liability, fire damage, premises,
personal injury, completed operations, products liability, personal
and advertising.
Such insurance
shall have a combined single limit of not less than One Million
Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence with a Two Million Dollar
($2,000,000) aggregate limit and excess/umbrella insurance in the
amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000). If Tenant has other
locations which it owns or leases, the policy shall include an
aggregate limit per location endorsement. If necessary, as
reasonably determined by Landlord, Tenant shall provide for
restoration of the aggregate limit; (iv) comprehensive
automobile liability insurance: a combined single limit of not less
than $2,000,000 per occurrence and insuring Tenant against
liability for claims arising out of the ownership, maintenance, or
use of any owned, hired or non-owned automobiles; (v) “all
risk” or “special purpose” property insurance,
including without limitation, sprinkler leakage, boiler and
machinery comprehensive form, if applicable, covering damage to or
loss of any of Tenant’s personal property, trade fixtures,
inventory, fixtures and equipment located in, on or about the
Premises, and in addition, coverage for flood, earthquake, and
business interruption of Tenant, together with, if the property of
Tenant’s invitees is to be kept in the Premises,
warehouser’s legal liability or bailee customers insurance
for the full replacement cost of the property belonging to invitees
and located in the Premises. Such insurance shall be written on a
replacement cost basis (without deduction for depreciation) in an
amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement
value of the aggregate of the items referred to in this
subparagraph (v); and (vi) such other insurance or higher
limits of liability as is then customarily required for similar
types of buildings within the general vicinity of the Park or as
may be reasonably required by any of Landlord’s lenders,
members or partners.
12.2 Insurance
Policies: Insurance required to be maintained by Tenant shall be
written by companies (i) licensed to do business in the State
of California, (ii) domiciled in the United States of America,
and (iii) having a “General Policyholders Rating”
of at least A:X (or such higher rating as may be required by a
lender having a lien on the Premises) as set forth in the most
current issue of “A.M. Best’s Rating Guides.” Any
deductible amounts under any of the insurance policies required
hereunder shall not exceed Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000). Tenant
shall deliver to Landlord certificates of insurance and true and
complete copies of any and all endorsements required herein for all
insurance required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder 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 not be
cancelable or otherwise subject to modification of the amounts of
coverage except after thirty (30) days prior written notice to
the parties named
21
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). Landlord and Tenant shall have the right to
provide insurance coverage which it is obligated to carry pursuant
to the terms of this Lease under a blanket insurance policy,
provided such blanket policy expressly affords coverage for the
Premises and for Landlord as required by this Lease.
12.3 Additional
Insureds and Coverage: Landlord, Landlord’s property
management company or agent, and any of Landlord’s lender(s)
having a lien against the Premises, the Building or the Park shall
be named as additional insureds under all of the policies required
in Section 12.1(iii) above. Additionally, such policies shall
provide for severability of interest. All insurance to be
maintained by Tenant shall, except for workers’ compensation
and employer’s liability insurance, be primary, without right
of contribution from insurance maintained by Landlord. Any
umbrella/excess liability policy (which shall be in
“following form”) shall provide that if the underlying
aggregate is exhausted, the excess coverage will drop down as
primary insurance. The limits of insurance maintained by Tenant
shall not limit Tenant’s liability under this Lease. It is
contemplated by the parties that the risks of loss described in
Section 12.1 shall be borne by Tenant’s insurance
carriers and not by Landlord’s insurance carriers.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the
extent Landlord’s cost of maintaining insurance with respect
to the Building and/or any other buildings within the Park is
increased as a result of Tenant’s acts, omissions,
alterations, improvements, use or occupancy of the Premises, Tenant
shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of, and for, such increase(s)
as Additional Rent.
12.4 Failure of
Tenant to Purchase and Maintain Insurance: In the event Tenant does
not purchase the insurance required in this Lease or keep the same
in full force and effect throughout the Term of this Lease,
Landlord may, but without obligation to do so, purchase the
necessary insurance and pay the premiums therefor. If Landlord so
elects to purchase such insurance, Tenant shall promptly pay to
Landlord as Additional Rent, the amount so paid by Landlord, upon
Landlord’s demand therefor. In addition, Landlord may recover
from Tenant and Tenant agrees to pay, as Additional Rent, any and
all losses, damages and costs which Landlord may sustain by reason
of Tenant’s failure to obtain and maintain such
insurance.
12.5
Landlord’s Insurance: Landlord shall, during the Term of this
Lease, procure and keep in force the following insurance, the cost
of which shall be deemed an Operating Expense under
Section 6.1 of this Lease: property insurance insuring the
Building (and Tenant Improvements) and improvements within the Park
and rental value insurance for perils covered by the causes of loss
— special form (all risk) and in addition coverage for flood,
earthquake and boiler and machinery (if applicable). Such coverage
(except for flood and earthquake) shall be written on a replacement
cost basis equal to at least eighty percent (80%) of the full
insurable replacement value of the foregoing (excluding costs for
footings and excavation) and shall not cover any Alterations,
Tenant’s equipment, trade fixtures, inventory, fixtures or
personal property located on or in the Premises. Additionally,
Landlord shall, during the Term of this Lease, procure and keep in
force the following insurance, the cost of which shall
be
22
deemed an
Operating Expense under Section 6.1 of this Lease: commercial
general liability insurance (occurrence form) providing coverage
against claims for bodily injury, personal injury and property
damage occurring in, on or about the Common Areas, having a
combined single limit of not less than Two Million Dollars
($2,000,000) per occurrence and in the aggregate.
13. Waiver of
Subrogation
Landlord and
Tenant hereby mutually waive their respective rights of recovery
against each other for any loss of, or damage to, either
parties’ property to the extent that such loss or damage is
insured by an insurance policy required to be in effect at the time
of such loss or damage. Each party shall obtain any special
endorsements, if required by its insurer whereby the insurer waives
its rights of subrogation against the other party. This provision
is intended to waive fully, and for the benefit of the parties
hereto, any rights and/or claims which might give rise to a right
of subrogation in favor of any insurance carrier. The coverage
obtained by Tenant and Landlord pursuant to Section 12 of this
Lease shall include, without limitation, a waiver of subrogation
endorsement attached to the certificate of insurance. The
provisions of this Section 13 shall not apply in those
instances in which such waiver of subrogation would invalidate such
insurance coverage or would cause either party’s insurance
coverage to be voided or otherwise uncollectible.
14. Limitation
of Liability and Indemnity
Except to the
extent of damage resulting from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord or its authorized representatives, Tenant
agrees to protect, defend (with counsel acceptable to Landlord) and
hold Landlord and Landlord’s lenders, partners, members,
property management company (if other than Landlord), agents,
directors, officers, employees, representatives, contractors,
shareholders, successors and assigns and each of their respective
partners, members, directors, employees, representatives, agents,
contractors, shareholders, successors and assigns (collectively,
the “Indemnitees”) harmless and indemnify the
Indemnitees from and against all liabilities, damages, claims,
losses, judgments, charges and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees, costs of court and expenses necessary in the
prosecution or defense of any litigation including the enforcement
of this provision) arising from or in any way related to, directly
or indirectly, (i) Tenant’s or Tenant’s
Representatives’ use of the Premises, Building, and/or the
Park, (ii) the conduct of Tenant’s business,
(iii) from any activity, work or thing done, permitted or
suffered by Tenant in or about the Premises, (iv) in any way
connected with the Premises, the Alterations or with the
Tenant’s Property therein, including, but not limited to, any
liability for injury to person or property of Tenant,
Tenant’s Representatives or third party persons, and/or (v)
Tenant’s failure to perform any covenant or obligation of
Tenant under this Lease. Tenant agrees that the obligations of
Tenant herein shall survive the expiration or earlier termination
of this Lease.
Except to the
extent of damage resulting from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord or its authorized representatives, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant agrees that neither
Landlord nor any of
23
Landlord’s lender(s), partners, members,
employees, representatives, legal representatives, successors or
assigns shall at any time or to any extent whatsoever be liable,
responsible or in any way accountable for any loss, liability,
injury, death or damage to persons or property which at any time
may be suffered or sustained by Tenant or by any person(s)
whomsoever who may at any time be using, occupying or visiting the
Premises, the Building, or the Park, including, but not limited to,
any acts, errors or omissions by or on behalf of any other tenants
or occupants of the Building and/or the Park. Tenant shall not, in
any event or circumstance, be permitted to offset or otherwise
credit against any payments of Rent required herein for matters for
which Landlord may be liable hereunder. Landlord and its authorized
representatives shall not be liable for any interference with light
or air, or for any latent defect (except for the thirty
(30) day period described in Section 2.2 of this Lease)
in the Premises or the Building.
15. Assignment
and Subleasing
15.1 Prohibition:
Tenant shall not assign, mortgage, hypothecate, encumber, grant any
license or concession, pledge or otherwise transfer this Lease
(collectively, “assignment”), in whole or in part,
whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of law, nor
sublet or permit occupancy by any person other than Tenant of all
or any portion of the Premises without first obtaining the prior
written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Tenant hereby agrees that Landlord may
withhold its consent to any proposed sublease or assignment if the
proposed sublessee or assignee or its business is subject to
compliance with additional requirements of the ADA (defined below)
and/or Environmental Laws (defined below) beyond those requirements
which are applicable to Tenant, unless the proposed sublessee or
assignee shall (a) first deliver plans and specifications for
complying with such additional requirements and obtain
Landlord’s written consent thereto, and (b) comply with
all Landlord’s conditions for or contained in such consent,
including without limitation, requirements for security to assure
the lien-free completion of such improvements. If Tenant seeks to
sublet or assign all or any portion of the Premises, Tenant shall
deliver to Landlord at least fifteen (15) days prior to the
proposed commencement of the sublease or assignment (the
“Proposed Effective Date”) the following: (i) the
name of the proposed assignee or sublessee; (ii) such
information as to such assignee’s or sublessee’s
financial responsibility and standing as Landlord may reasonably
require; and (iii) the aforementioned plans and
specifications, if any. Within ten (10) days after
Landlord’s receipt of a written request from Tenant that
Tenant seeks to sublet or assign all or any portion of the
Premises, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a copy of
Landlord’s standard form of consent to sublease or assignment
agreement (as applicable), which instrument shall be utilized for
each proposed sublease or assignment (as applicable). Any
assignment or sublet agreement shall include a provision whereby
the assignee or sublessee assumes all of Tenant’s obligations
hereunder and agrees to be bound by the terms hereof. As Additional
Rent hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a fee in the amount of
five hundred dollars ($500) plus Tenant shall reimburse Landlord
for actual legal and other expenses incurred by Landlord in
connection with any actual or proposed assignment or subletting. In
the event the sublease or assignment (I) by itself or taken
together with prior sublease(s) or partial assignment(s)
24
covers or
totals, as the case may be, more than twenty-five percent (25%) of
the rentable square feet of the Premises or (2) is for a term
which by itself or taken together with prior or other subleases or
partial assignments is greater than fifty percent (50%) of the
period remaining in the Term of this Lease as of the time of the
Proposed Effective Date, then Landlord shall have the right, to be
exercised by giving written notice to Tenant (“Recapture
Notice”), to recapture the space described in the sublease or
assignment. If within fifteen (15) days of Landlord’s
delivery to Tenant of the Recapture Notice, Tenant does not deliver
to Landlord written notice (the “Tenant’s Recapture
Rescission Notice”) that Tenant has elected (I) not to
consummate such proposed assignment or sublease, and (II) to
rescind the request to enter into such proposed assignment or
sublease, such Recapture Notice shall serve to terminate this Lease
with respect to the proposed sublease or assignment space, or, if
the proposed sublease or assignment space covers all the Premises,
it shall serve to terminate the entire balance of the term of this
Lease, in either case, as of the Proposed Effective Date. However,
no termination of this Lease with respect to part or all of the
Premises shall become effective without the prior written consent,
where necessary, of the holder of each deed of trust encumbering
the Premises or any part thereof. If this Lease is terminated
pursuant to the foregoing with respect to less than the entire
Premises, the Rent shall be adjusted on the basis of the proportion
of square feet retained by Tenant to the square feet originally
demised and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in
full force and effect. Each permitted assignee or sublessee shall
assume and be deemed to assume this Lease and shall be and remain
liable jointly and severally with Tenant for payment of Rent and
for the due performance of, and compliance with all the terms,
covenants, conditions and agreements herein contained on
Tenant’s part to be performed or complied with, for the term
of this Lease. No assignment or subletting shall affect the
continuing primary liability of Tenant (which, following
assignment, shall be joint and several with the assignee), and
Tenant shall not be released from performing any of the terms,
covenants and conditions of this Lease. Tenant hereby acknowledges
and agrees that it understands that Landlord’s accounting
department may process and accept Rent payments without verifying
that such payments are being made by Tenant, a permitted sublessee
or a permitted assignee in accordance with the provisions of this
Lease. Although such payments may be processed and accepted by such
accounting department personnel, any and all actions or omissions
by the personnel of Landlord’s accounting department shall
not be considered as acceptance by Landlord of any proposed
assignee or sublessee nor shall such actions or omissions be deemed
to be a substitute for the requirement that Tenant obtain
Landlord’s prior written consent to any such subletting or
assignment, and any such actions or omissions by the personnel of
Landlord’s accounting department shall not be considered as a
voluntary relinquishment by Landlord of any of its rights hereunder
nor shall any voluntary relinquishment of such rights be inferred
therefrom. Except with respect to a Related Entity, for purposes
hereof, in the event Tenant is a corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other entity other than a natural person, any
change in the direct or indirect ownership of Tenant (whether
pursuant to one or more transfers other than the initial public
offering of Tenant’s common stock or the subsequent trading
of tenant’s publicly traded common stock which does not
confer upon any party or parties control over Tenant) which results
in a change of more than fifty percent (50%) in the direct or
indirect ownership of Tenant
25
shall be deemed
to be an assignment within the meaning of this Section 15 and
shall be subject to all the provisions hereof. Any and all options,
first rights of refusal, tenant improvement allowances and other
similar rights granted to Tenant in this Lease, if any, shall not
be assignable by Tenant unless expressly authorized in writing by
Landlord.
15.2 Excess
Sublease Rental or Assignment Consideration: In the event of any
sublease or assignment of all or any portion of the Premises where
the rent or other consideration provided for in the sublease or
assignment either initially or over the term of the sublease or
assignment exceeds the Rent or pro rata portion of the Rent, as the
case may be, for such space reserved in the Lease, Tenant shall pay
the Landlord monthly, as Additional Rent, at the same time as the
monthly installments of Rent are payable hereunder, fifty percent
(50%) of the excess of each such payment of rent or other
consideration in excess of the Rent called for
hereunder.
15.3 Waiver:
Notwithstanding any assignment or sublease, or any indulgences,
waivers or extensions of time granted by Landlord to any assignee
or sublessee, or failure by Landlord to take action against any
assignee or sublessee, Tenant agrees that Landlord may, at its
option, proceed against Tenant without having taken action against
or joined such assignee or sublessee, except that Tenant shall have
the benefit of any indulgences, waivers and extensions of time
granted to any such assignee or sublessee.
15.4 Related
Entities: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Section 15, so long as Tenant delivers to Landlord
(1) at least fifteen (15) business days prior written
notice of its intention to assign or sublease the Premises to any
Related Entity, which notice shall set forth the name of the
Related Entity, (2) a copy of the proposed agreement pursuant
to which such assignment or sublease shall be effectuated, and
(3) such other information concerning the Related Entity as
Landlord may reasonably require, including without limitation,
information regarding any change in the proposed use of any portion
of the Premises and any financial information with respect to such
Related Entity, and so long as (i) any change in the proposed
use of the subject portion of the Premises is in conformance with
the uses permitted to be made under this Lease and do not involve
the use or storage of any Hazardous Materials (other than normal
amounts of ordinary household cleaners, office supplies and
janitorial supplies which are not regulated by any Environmental
Laws), and (ii) at the time of the proposed assignment or
sublease, the net profits and financial condition of the Related
Entity is reasonably adequate and sufficient in relation to the
then remaining obligations of Tenant under this Lease, then Tenant
may assign this Lease or sublease any portion of the Premises
(X) to any Related Entity, or (Y) in connection with any
merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all of the assets of
Tenant, without having to obtain the prior written consent of
Landlord thereto. For purposes of this Lease, the term
“Related Entity” shall mean and refer to any
corporation or entity which controls, is controlled by or is under
common control with Tenant, as all of such terms are customarily
used in the industry.
26
Prior to
delinquency, Tenant shall pay all taxes and assessments levied upon
trade fixtures, alterations, additions, improvements, inventories
and personal property located and/or installed on or in the
Premises by, or on behalf of, Tenant; and if requested by Landlord,
Tenant shall promptly deliver to Landlord copies of receipts for
payment of all such taxes and assessments. To the extent any such
taxes are not separately assessed or billed to Tenant, Tenant shall
pay the amount thereof as invoiced by Landlord.
Without the
necessity of any additional document being executed by Tenant for
the purpose of effecting a subordination, and at the election of
Landlord or any bona fide mortgagee or deed of trust beneficiary
with a lien on all or any portion of the Premises or any ground
lessor with respect to the land of which the Premises are a part,
the rights of Tenant under this Lease and this Lease shall be
subject and subordinate at all times to: (i) all ground leases
or underlying leases which may now exist or hereafter be executed
affecting the Building or the land upon which the Building is
situated or both, and (ii) the lien of any mortgage or deed of
trust which may now exist or hereafter be executed in any amount
for which the Building, ground leases or underlying leases, or
Landlord’s interest or estate in any of said items is
specified as security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord or
any such ground lessor, mortgagee, or any beneficiary shall have
the right to subordinate or cause to be subordinated any such
ground leases or underlying leases or any such liens to this Lease.
If any ground lease or underlying lease terminates for any reason
or any mortgage or deed of trust is foreclosed or a conveyance in
lieu of foreclosure is made for any reason, Tenant shall,
notwithstanding any subordination and upon the request of such
successor to Landlord, attorn to and become the Tenant of the
successor in interest to Landlord, provided such successor in
interest will not disturb Tenant’s use, occupancy or quiet
enjoyment of the Premises so long as Tenant is not in default of
the terms and provisions of this Lease. The successor in interest
to Landlord following foreclosure, sale or deed in lieu thereof
shall not be (a) liable for any act or omission of any prior
lessor or with respect to events occurring prior to acquisition of
ownership; (b) subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant
might have against any prior lessor; (c) bound by prepayment
of more than one (1) month’s Rent, except in those
instances when Tenant pays Rent quarterly in advance pursuant to
Section 8 hereof, then not more than three months’ Rent;
or (d) liable to Tenant for any Security Deposit not actually
received by such successor in interest to the extent any portion or
all of such Security Deposit has not already been forfeited by, or
refunded to, Tenant. Landlord shall be liable to Tenant for all or
any portion of the Security Deposit not forfeited by, or refunded
to Tenant, until and unless Landlord transfers such Security
Deposit to the successor in interest. Tenant covenants and agrees
to execute (and acknowledge if required by Landlord, any lender or
ground lessor) and deliver, within five (5) days of a demand
or request by Landlord and in the form requested by Landlord,
ground lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary, any additional documents
evidencing the priority or subordination of this Lease with respect
to any such ground leases or underlying leases or the lien of any
such mortgage or deed of trust. Tenant’s failure to timely
execute and deliver such additional documents shall, at
Landlord’s
27
option,
constitute a material default hereunder. Tenant hereby acknowledges
that as of the date on which Landlord and Tenant execute this Lease
there is a deed of trust encumbering, and in force against the
Premises, the Building and the Park in favor of Nationsbank, N.A.
(the “Current Lender”). Simultaneously with
Tenant’s execution of this Lease, Tenant shall sign, notarize
and deliver a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment
agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit I attached
hereto, entitled “Subordination, Non-Disturbance and
Attornment Agreement.” Landlord shall (i) execute and
notarize such agreement simultaneously with Landlord’s
execution of this Lease and (ii) cause Current Lender to
execute and notarize such agreement promptly after Landlord’s
and Tenant’s execution and notarization of such
non-disturbance agreement. If Landlord at any time during the Term
of the Lease causes the Premises, the Building and the Park to be
encumbered by a new deed of trust or mortgage pursuant to which the
beneficiary of such deed of trust or mortgage is a party or entity
other than the Current Lender, the parties acknowledge and agree
that the form of any non-disturbance and attornment agreement that
may be requested to be executed and delivered by Tenant in
connection therewith will not be the “Subordination,
Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement” attached to the
Lease as Exhibit I. Tenant’s agreement to subordinate
this Lease to any future ground or underlying lease or any future
deed of trust or mortgage pursuant to the foregoing provisions o
this Section 17 is conditioned upon Landlord delivering to
Tenant form the lessor under such future ground or underlying lease
or the holder of any such deed of trust, a non-disturbance
agreement agreeing, among other things, that Tenant’s right
to possession of the Premises pursuant to the terms and conditions
of this Lease shall not be disturbed provided Tenant is not in
default under this Lease beyond the applicable notice and cure
periods hereunder.
Landlord and its
agents shall have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable
times upon reasonable notice, except in the event of emergency (in
which event no notice shall be required), for purposes of
inspection, exhibition, posting of notices, repair, maintenance and
alteration. At Landlord’s option, Landlord shall at all times
have and retain a key with which to unlock all the doors in, upon
and about the Premises, excluding Tenant’s vaults and safes.
It is further agreed that Landlord shall have the right to use any
and all means Landlord deems necessary to enter the Premises in an
emergency. During the final nine (9) months of the Term,
Landlord shall have the right to place “for rent” or
“for lease” signs on the outside of the Premises, the
Building and in the Common Areas. Landlord shall also have the
right to place “for sale” signs on the outside of the
Building and in the Common Areas. Tenant hereby waives any claim
from damages or for any injury or inconvenience to or interference
with Tenant’s business, or any other loss occasioned thereby
except for any claim for any of the foregoing arising out of the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its
authorized representatives.
28
waiver of such
default, other than a waiver of timely payment for the particular
Rent payment involved, and shall not prevent Landlord from
maintaining an unlawful detainer or other action based on such
breach. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser
amount than the monthly Rent and other sums due hereunder shall be
deemed to be other than on account of the earliest Rent or other
sums due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or
accompanying any check or payment be deemed an accord and
satisfaction; and Landlord may accept such check or payment without
prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such
Rent or other sum or pursue any other remedy provided in this
Lease. No failure, partial exercise or delay on the part of the
Landlord in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof.
If the Premises or
any part thereof shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Tenant
shall give prompt written notice thereof to Landlord. In case the
Building shall be so damaged by fire or other casualty such that
the Premises and/or the Building cannot, in Landlord’s
reasonable opinion, be fully repaired within one hundred eighty
(180) days following the date of such damage (subject to
extension for Force Majeure Delays and Tenant Delays), Landlord or
Tenant may terminate this Lease by notifying the other in writing
of such termination within thirty (30) days after the date of
Landlord’s determination of the extent of such damage (which
determination shall be made within ninety (90) days after the
date of such damage) in which event the Rent shall be abated as of
the date of such damage. If neither party elects to terminate this
Lease, and provided insurance proceeds and any contributions from
Tenant, if necessary, are available to fully repair the damage,
Landlord shall within one hundred twenty (120) days after the
date of such damage commence to repair and restore the Building and
shall proceed with reasonable diligence to restore the Building
(except that Landlord shall not be responsible for delays outside
its control) to substantially the same condition in which it was
immediately prior to the happening of the casualty; provided,
Landlord shall not be required to rebuild, repair, or replace any
part of the Tenant Improvements (in excess of any insurance
proceeds actually received by Landlord) of Tenant’s Property,
any Alterations . Landlord shall not in any event be required to
spend for such work an amount in excess of the insurance proceeds
(excluding any deductible) and any contributions from Tenant, if
necessary, actually received by Landlord as a result of the fire or
other casualty. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience
or annoyance to Tenant, injury to the business of Tenant, loss of
use of any part of the Premises by Tenant or loss of Tenant’s
Property resulting in any way from such damage or the repair
thereof, except that, subject to the provisions of the next
sentence, Landlord shall allow Tenant a fair diminution of Rent
during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for
occupancy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, if the Premises or any other portion of the Building be
damaged by fire or other casualty resulting from the intentional or
negligent acts or omissions of Tenant or any of Tenant’s
Representatives, (i) the Rent shall not be diminished during
the repair of such damage to the extent any portion of the Rent is
not actually reimbursed to Landlord from the proceeds of any rental
loss insurance procured by Landlord hereunder, (ii) Tenant
shall not have any right to terminate this Lease due to
29
the occurrence
of such casualty or damage, and (iii) Tenant shall be liable
to Landlord for the cost and expense of the repair and restoration
of all or any portion of the Building caused thereby (including,
without limitation, any deductible) to the extent such cost and
expense is not covered by insurance proceeds. If the holder of any
indebtedness secured by the Premises requires that the insurance
proceeds be applied to such indebtedness, then Landlord shall have
the right to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of
termination to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date
of notice to Tenant of any such event, whereupon all rights and
obligations shall cease and terminate hereunder except for those
obligations expressly intended to survive any such termination of
this Lease. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 27, Tenant
hereby waives the provisions of Sections 1932(2.), 1933(4.),
1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code.
If twenty-five
percent (25%) or more of the Premises is condemned by eminent
domain, inversely condemned or sold in lieu of condemnation for any
public or quasi-public use or purpose (“Condemned”),
then Tenant or Landlord may terminate this Lease as of the date
when physical possession of the Premises is taken and title vests
in such condemning authority, and Rent shall be adjusted to the
date of termination. Tenant shall not because of such condemnation
assert any claim against Landlord or the condemning authority for
any compensation because of such condemnation, and Landlord shall
be entitled to receive the entire amount of any award without
deduction for any estate of interest or other interest of Tenant;
provided, however, the foregoing provisions shall not preclude
Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, from obtaining any
separate award to Tenant for loss of or damage to Tenant’s
trade fixtures and removable personal property or for damages for
cessation or interruption of Tenant’s business provided such
award is separate from Landlord’s award and provided further
such separate award does not diminish nor impair the award
otherwise payable to Landlord. In addition to the foregoing, Tenant
shall be entitled to seek compensation for the relocation costs
recoverable by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of California
Government Code Section 7262. If neither party elects to
terminate this Lease, Landlord shall, if necessary, promptly
proceed to restore the Premises or the Building to substantially
its same condition prior to such partial condemnation, allowing for
the reasonable effects of such partial condemnation, and a
proportionate allowance shall be made to Tenant, as solely
determined by Landlord, for the Rent corresponding to the time
during which, and to the part of the Premises of which, Tenant is
deprived on account of such partial condemnation and restoration.
Landlord shall not be required to spend funds for restoration in
excess of the amount received by Landlord as compensation
awarded.
