NNN R&D Development Landlord TI
Lease Agreement

Date: The Basic Lease Information set forth on Page 1 and this Lease are and shall be construed as a single instrument.

1. Premises

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.

3. Rent

     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.

4. Security Deposit

     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.

6. Additional Rent

     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

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;

     6.1.4 Landlord’s cost of: (i) modifications and/or new improvements to the Building, the Common Areas and/or the Park occasioned by any rules, laws or regulations effective subsequent to the Lease Date; (ii) reasonably necessary replacement improvements to the Building, the Common Areas and the Park after the Lease Date; and (iii) new improvements to the Building, the Common Areas and/or the Park to the extent that they reduce operating costs or improve life/safety conditions, all as reasonably determined by Landlord, in its sole discretion; provided, however, if any of the foregoing are in the nature of capital improvements, then the cost of such capital improvements shall be amortized on a straight-line basis over a reasonable period, which shall be the period of time specified under generally accepted accounting principles as the estimated useful life of such modifications, new improvements or replacement improvements in question (at an interest rate as reasonably determined by Landlord), and Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Share of the monthly amortized portion of such costs (including interest charges) as part of the Operating Expenses herein;

     6.1.5 preventative maintenance and repair contracts including, but not limited to, contracts for elevator systems and heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, lifts for disabled persons, and trash or refuse collection, if Landlord elects to so procure;

     6.1.6 security and fire protection services for the Building and/or the Park, as the case may be, if in Landlord’s sole but reasonable discretion such services are provided;

9


 

     6.1.7 supplies, equipment, rental equipment and other similar items used in the operation and/or maintenance of the Park;

     6.1.8 the repairs and maintenance items set forth in Section 11.2 below;

     6.1.9 any and all levies, charges, fees and/or assessments payable to any applicable owner’s association or similar body; and

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained hereon, for purposes of this Lease, the term “Operating Expenses” shall not include the following:

     (a) Costs (including permit, license, and inspection fees) incurred in renovating improving decorating, painting, or redecorating vacant space or space for other tenants within the Park;

     (b) Costs incurred because Landlord or another tenant actually violated the terms of any lease for premises within the Building and/or Park;

     (c) Legal and auditing fees (other than those fees reasonably incurred in connection with the maintenance and operation of the Building and/or Park), leasing commissions, advertising expenses, and other costs incurred in connection with the original development or original leasing of the Building and/or Park or future re-leasing of the Building and/or Park;

     (e) Any items for which Landlord is actually reimbursed or by direct reimbursement by any other tenant of the Building or Park;

     (f) Costs of repair or other work necessitated by fire, windstorm or other casualty (excluding any commercially reasonable deductibles) and/or costs of repair or other work necessitated by the exercise of the right of eminent domain to the extent insurance proceeds or a condemnation award, as applicable, is actually received by Landlord for such purposes; provided such costs of repairs or other work shall be paid by the parties in accordance with the provisions of Sections 27 and 28 below;

     (g) Other than any interest charges for capital improvements referred to in Section 6.1.4 hereinabove, any interest or payments on any financing for the Building or the Park, interest and penalties incurred as a result of Landlord’s late payment of any invoice (provided that Tenant pays Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses to Landlord when due as set forth herein), and any bad debt loss, rent loss or reserves for same;

     (h) Costs associated with the investigation and/or remediation of Hazardous Materials (hereafter defined) present in, on or about the Premises, the Building or the Park, unless such costs and expenses are the responsibility of Tenant as provided in Section 29 of this Lease, in which event such costs and expenses shall be paid solely by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of Section 29 of 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 materials and equipment as a result of such defects (collectively, “Defect Costs”), as long as such defects are covered by warranties from the contractors performing such work and Landlord has actually received compensation therefor; provided, in the event such Defect Costs and such Defect Costs constitute capital improvements, are not covered by warranties and/or Landlord has not received compensation therefor, such Defect Costs shall be included in Operating Expenses and amortized on the basis set forth in Section 6.1 of the Lease.

     (j) Landlord’s cost for the repairs and maintenance items set forth in Section 11.3 below;

     (k) Overhead, fee and profit paid to subsidiaries or affiliates of Landlord for management services or materials to the extent that the cost of those items would not have been paid had the services and materials been provided by unaffiliated parties on a competitive basis; and

     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.

8. Late Charges

     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. Use of Premises

     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 which may damage the Building or outside areas; nor place any 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

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. Insurance

     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.

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


 

16. Ad Valorem Taxes

     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.

17. Subordination

     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.

18. Right of Entry

     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


 

19. Estoppel Certificate

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.

27. Casualty Damage

     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.

28. Condemnation

     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.

29. Environmental Matters/Hazardous Materials

     29.1 Hazardous Materials Disclosure Certificate: Prior to executing this Lease, Tenant has completed, executed and delivered to Landlord Tenant’s initial Hazardous Materials Disclosure Certificate (the “Initial HazMat Certificate”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit E and incorporated

30


 

herein by this reference. Tenant covenants, represents and warrants to Landlord that the information on the Initial HazMat Certificate is true and correct and accurately describes the use(s) of Hazardous Materials which will be made and/or used on the Premises by Tenant. Tenant shall commencing with the date which is one year from the Commencement Date and continuing every year thereafter, complete, execute, and deliver to Landlord, a Hazardous Materials Disclosure Certificate (“the “HazMat Certificate”) describing Tenant’s present use of Hazardous Materials on the Premises, and any other reasonably necessary documents as requested by Landlord. The HazMat Certificate required hereunder shall be in substantially the form as that which is attached hereto as Exhibit E.

     29.2 Definition of Hazardous Materials: As used in this Lease, the term Hazardous Materials shall mean and include (a) any hazardous or toxic wastes, materials or substances, and other pollutants or contaminants, which are or become regulated by any Environmental Laws; (b) petroleum, petroleum by products, gasoline, diesel fuel, crude oil or any fraction thereof; (c) asbestos and asbestos containing material, in any form, whether friable or non-friable; (d) polychlorinated biphenyls; (e) radioactive materials; (f) lead and lead- containing materials; (g) any other material, waste or substance displaying toxic, reactive, ignitable or corrosive characteristics, as all such terms are used in their broadest sense, and are defined or become defined by any Environmental Law (defined below); or (h) any materials which cause or threatens to cause a nuisance upon or waste to any portion of the Premises, the Building, the Park or any surrounding property; or poses or threatens to pose a hazard to the health and safety of persons on the Premises or any surrounding property.

     29.3 Prohibition; Environmental Laws: Tenant shall not be entitled to use nor store any Hazardous Materials on, in, or about the Premises, the Building and the Park, or any portion of the foregoing, without, in each instance, obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent thereto. If Landlord consents to any such usage or storage, then Tenant shall be permitted to use and/or store only those Hazardous Materials that are necessary for Tenant’s business and to the extent disclosed in the HazMat Certificate and as expressly approved by Landlord in writing, provided that such usage and storage is only to the extent of the quantities of Hazardous Materials as specified in the then applicable HazMat Certificate as expressly approved by Landlord and provided further that such usage and storage is in full compliance with any and all local, state and federal environmental, health and/or safety-related laws, statutes, orders, standards, courts’ decisions, ordinances, rules and regulations (as interpreted by judicial and administrative decisions), decrees, directives, guidelines, permits or permit conditions, currently existing and as amended, enacted, issued or adopted in the future which are or become applicable to Tenant or all or any portion of the Premises (collectively, the “Environmental Laws”). Tenant agrees that any changes to the type and/or quantities of Hazardous Materials specified in the most recent HazMat Certificate may be implemented only with the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be given or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion. Tenant

31


 

shall not be entitled nor permitted to install any tanks under, on or about the Premises for the storage of Hazardous Materials without the express written consent of Landlord, which may be given or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion. Landlord shall have the right at all times during the Term of this Lease to (i) inspect the Premises, (ii) conduct tests and investigations to determine whether Tenant
