AMENDED AND RESTATED OFFICE LEASE

 

R E C I T A L S :

 

A.                                    This Amended and Restated Office Lease (“ Office Lease ”), which includes the preceding Summary of Basic Lease Information (the “ Summary ”) attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (the Office Lease and Summary are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “ Lease ”), dated as of the date set forth in Section 1 of the Summary is made by and between KILROY REALTY, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“ Landlord ”), and FAVRILLE, INC., a Delaware corporation (“ Tenant ”).

 

B.                                      Landlord, and Tenant previously entered into that certain Office Lease dated January 31, 2004 (the “ Original Office Lease ”), as amended by that certain First Amendment to Lease dated July 2004 (the “ First Amendment ”), that certain Second Amendment to Lease dated October 11, 2004 (the “ Second Amendment ”), that certain Third Amendment to Lease dated July 8, 2005 (the “Third Amendment ”), and that certain Fourth Amendment to Lease dated October 31, 2005 (the “ Fourth Amendment ”), whereby Landlord leased to Tenant and Tenant leased from Landlord the entire building located at 10421 Pacific Center Court, San Diego, California (the “ 10421 Building ”) comprised (i) those certain premises (the “ Original Premises ”) consisting of 48,502 rentable square feet of space located on the first (1 st ) and second (2 nd ) floors of the Building, (ii) those certain premises (the “ First Expansion Premises ”) consisting of 13,987 rentable square feet of space located on the second (2 nd ) floor of the Building, and (iii) those certain premises (the “ Third Expansion Premises ”) consisting of approximately 17,382 rentable square feet located on the first (1 st ) floor of the Building (the Original Premises, the First Expansion Premises and the Third Expansion Premises are, collectively, (x) initially referred to herein as the “ Premises ,” and (x) alternatively, and throughout the Lease Term, referred to herein as the “ 10421 Premises ”).  The Office Lease, the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the Third Amendment and the Fourth Amendment are, collectively, the “ Original Lease .”

 

C.                                      The Original Office Lease was initially entered into by Landlord and Tenant with respect to the Original Premises only, and because such Original Premises did not comprise the entire Building, the rights and obligations of both Landlord and Tenant under the terms of the Original Office Lease were structured so as to be a part of, and integrated with, a larger, multi-tenant building.  Following the execution of the Third Amendment and Tenant’s lease of the Third Expansion Premises, Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord the entire Building.  As a result thereof, the parties acknowledge and agree that certain of the terms and conditions relating directly to a multi-tenant building which are set forth in the Original Lease are no longer applicable.

 

D.                                     Landlord and Tenant desire to amend and restate the terms of the Original Lease in their entirety, effective as of the Effective Date, as set forth herein.

 

5



 

E.                                       Following the date of this Lease, Landlord and Tenant desire to expand the 10421 Premises to include the entire building (the “ 10445 Premises ”) located at 10445 Pacific Center Court, San Diego, California (the “ 10445 Building ”).  However, as such 10445 Premises is currently occupied by a third party (“ Nuera ”) pursuant to an existing lease between Landlord and Nuera (the “ Nuera Lease ”), Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that such expansion, and Landlord’s ability to deliver the 10445 Building to Tenant, is expressly conditioned upon the termination or expiration of the Nuera Lease as set forth more particularly in Section 29.37 of this Lease.  In the event that the Nuera Lease is so terminated, or upon the expiration thereof, then Landlord and Tenant shall immediately thereafter enter into that certain First Amendment to Amended and Restated Office Lease (which shall amend this Lease) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H (the “ First Amendment to Amended and Restated Office Lease ”).  All of the terms and conditions of this Lease, as amended by the terms of such First Amendment to Amended and Restated Office Lease, shall be effective immediately upon the full execution and delivery of such First Amendment to Amended and Restated Office Lease by and between Landlord and Tenant (the “ 10445 Premises Effective Date ”).

 

F.                                       Upon the date set forth in Section 1.2 of the Summary (the “ Effective Date ”),  this Lease shall amend and restate the Original Lease in its entirety and shall thereafter supersede the Original Lease.  The provisions of the Original Lease shall remain in effect as to all periods prior to the Effective Date.

2.2.4                         No Defaults; Required Financial Condition of Tenant .  The rights contained in this Section 2.2 shall be personal to the Original Tenant, its Affiliates and any Permitted Assignee and may only be exercised by such Original Tenant, Affiliate or Permitted Assignee (and not any other assignee, sublessee or other transferee of the Original Tenant’s interest in this Lease) if the Original Tenant, Affiliate and/or Permitted Assignee occupies not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the then existing Premises.  The right to extend the Lease Term as provided in this Section 2.2 may not be exercised if, as of the date of the attempted exercise of the extension option by Tenant, or as of the commencement date of such Option Term, (A) Tenant is in economic or material default pursuant to the terms of this Lease (beyond any applicable notice and cure periods), or (B) Tenant has previously been in economic or material default under this Lease (beyond any applicable notice and cure periods) during the previous twenty-four (24) month period.

 

2.2.5                         Determination of Market Rent .  In the event Tenant objects or is deemed to have objected to the Market Rent, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon the Market Rent using reasonable good-faith efforts.  If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement within sixty (60) days following Tenant’s objection or deemed objection to the Landlord’s Option Rent Calculation (the (the “ Outside Agreement Date ”), then (i) in connection with the Option Rent, Landlord’s Option Rent Calculation and Tenant’s Option Rent Calculation, each as previously delivered to the other party, shall be submitted to the arbitrators pursuant to the TCCs of this Section 2.2.4 , and (ii) in connection with any other contested calculation of market Rent, the parties shall each make a separate determination of the Market Rent and shall submit the same to the arbitrators pursuant to the TCCs of this Section 2.2.5 .  The submittals shall be made concurrently with the selection of the arbitrators pursuant to this Section 2.2.5 and shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with Section 2.2.5.1 through 2.2.5.5 of this Lease, but subject to the conditions, when appropriate, of Section 2.2.3 .

4.3.1                         Method of Allocation .  The parties acknowledge that the Building is a part of a multi-building project and that the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Project ( i.e. the Direct Expenses) should be shared between the tenants of the Building and the tenants of the other buildings in the Project.  Accordingly, as set forth in Section 4.2 above, Direct Expenses (which consists of Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses) are determined annually for the Project as a whole, and a portion of the Direct Expenses, which portion shall be determined by Landlord on an equitable basis, shall be allocated to the Building (as opposed to any other buildings in the Project) and such portion shall be the Direct Expenses for purposes of this Lease.  Such portion of Direct Expenses allocated to the Building shall include all Direct Expenses attributable solely to the Building and an equitable portion of the Direct Expenses attributable to the Project as a whole.

 

4.4                                  Calculation and Payment of Additional Rent .  Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in the manner set forth in Section 4.4.1 , below, and as Additional Rent, Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses for each Expense Year.

 

4.4.1                         Statement of Actual Building Direct Expenses and Payment by Tenant .   Landlord shall give to Tenant following the end of each Expense Year, a statement (the “ Statement ”) which shall state the Building Direct Expenses incurred or accrued for such preceding Expense Year, and which shall indicate the amount of Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses.  Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such Statement to Tenant on or before May 1 following the end of the Expense Year to which such Statement relates.  Upon receipt of the Statement for each Expense Year commencing or ending during the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Statement, the full amount of Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses for such Expense Year, less the amounts, if any, paid during such Expense Year as “Estimated Direct Expenses,” as that term is defined in Section 4.4.2 , below, and if Tenant paid more as Estimated Direct Expenses than the actual Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses (an “ Excess ”), Tenant shall receive a credit in the amount of such Excess against Rent next due under this Lease.  The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Statement for any Expense Year shall not prejudice Landlord or Tenant from enforcing its rights under this Article 4 .  Even though the Lease Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses for the Expense Year in which this Lease terminates, if Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses is greater than the amount of Estimated Direct Expenses previously paid by Tenant to Landlord, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Statement, pay to Landlord such amount, and if Tenant paid more as Estimated Direct Expenses than the actual Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses (again, an Excess), Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days, deliver a check payable to Tenant in the amount of such Excess.  The provisions of this Section 4.4.1 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.  Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence,

 

18



 

Tenant shall not be responsible for Tenant’s Share of any Building Direct Expenses attributable to any Expense Year which are first billed to Tenant more than two (2) calendar years after the Lease Expiration Date, provided that in any event Tenant shall be responsible for Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses levied by any governmental authority or by any public utility companies at any time following the Lease Expiration Date which are attributable to any Expense Year.

 

4.4.2                         Statement of Estimated Building Direct Expenses .   In addition, Landlord shall give Tenant a yearly expense estimate statement (the “ Estimate Statement ”) which shall set forth in general major categories Landlord’s reasonable estimate (the “ Estimate ”) of what the total amount of Direct Expenses for the then-current Expense Year shall be and the estimated Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses (the “ Estimated Direct Expenses ”).  Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such Estimate Statement to Tenant on or before April 1 following the end of the Expense Year to which such Estimate Statement relates.  The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Estimate Statement for any Expense Year shall not preclude Landlord from enforcing its rights to collect any Estimated Direct Expenses under this Article 4 , nor shall Landlord be prohibited from revising any Estimate Statement or Estimated Direct Expenses theretofore delivered to the extent necessary.  Thereafter, Tenant shall pay, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Estimate Statement, a fraction of the Estimated Direct Expenses for the then-current Expense Year (reduced by any amounts paid pursuant to the second to last sentence of this Section 4.4.2 ).  Such fraction shall have as its numerator the number of months which have elapsed in such current Expense Year, including the month of such payment, and twelve (12) as its denominator.  Until a new Estimate Statement is furnished (which Landlord shall have the right to deliver to Tenant at any time), Tenant shall pay monthly, with the monthly Base Rent installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the total Estimated Direct Expenses set forth in the previous Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant.  Throughout the Lease Term Landlord shall maintain books and records with respect to Building Direct Expenses in accordance with generally accepted real estate accounting and management practices, consistently applied.

 

4.5                                  Taxes and Other Charges for Which Tenant Is Directly Responsible .

 

4.5.1                         Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay ten (10) days before delinquency, taxes levied against Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and any other personal property located in or about the Premises.  If any such taxes on Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and any other personal property are levied against Landlord or Landlord’s property or if the assessed value of Landlord’s property is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon such equipment, furniture, fixtures or any other personal property and if Landlord pays the taxes based upon such increased assessment, which Landlord shall have the right to do regardless of the validity thereof but only under proper protest if requested by Tenant, Tenant shall upon demand repay to Landlord the taxes so levied against Landlord or the proportion of such taxes resulting from such increase in the assessment, as the case may be.

 

4.5.2                         If the tenant improvements in the Premises, whether installed and/or paid for by Landlord or Tenant and whether or not affixed to the real property so as to become a part thereof, are assessed for real property tax purposes at a valuation higher than the valuation at which tenant improvements conforming to Landlord’s “building standard” in other space in the Building are assessed, then the Tax Expenses levied against Landlord or the property by reason

 

19



 

of such excess assessed valuation shall be deemed to be taxes levied against personal property of Tenant and shall be governed by the provisions of Section 4.5.1 , above.

 

4.5.3                         Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency any (i) rent tax or sales tax, service tax, transfer tax or value added tax, or any other applicable tax on the rent or services herein or otherwise respecting this Lease, (ii) taxes assessed upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion of the Project, including the Project parking facility; or (iii) taxes assessed upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises.

 

4.5.4                         Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay directly to Landlord within thirty (30) days of being invoiced therefor, the actual cost, if any, incurred by Landlord’s for carrying, pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 10.2 , below, “Pollution Legal Liability Environmental Insurance.”

 

4.6                                  Landlord’s Books and Records .  Within two (2) years after receipt of a Statement by Tenant, if Tenant disputes the amount of Additional Rent set forth in the Statement, a determination as to the proper amount shall be made, at Tenant’s expense, by an independent certified public accountant (the “ Accountant ”) selected by Landlord and subject to Tenant’s reasonable approval, by inspecting Landlord’s records with respect to the Statement at Landlord’s offices, provided that Tenant is not then in default under this Lease (beyond any applicable notice and cure periods) and Tenant has paid all amounts required to be paid under the applicable Estimate Statement and Statement, as the case may be.  In connection with such inspection, the Accountant must agree in advance to follow Landlord’s reasonable rules and procedures regarding inspections of Landlord’s records, and shall execute a commercially reasonable confidentiality agreement regarding such inspection.  If such determination by the Accountant proves that Direct Expenses were overstated by more than five percent (5%), then the cost of the Accountant and the cost of such determination shall be paid for by Landlord.  Tenant’s failure to dispute the amount of Additional Rent set forth in any Statement within two (2) years of Tenant’s receipt of such Statement shall be deemed to be Tenant’s approval of such Statement and Tenant, thereafter, waives the right or ability to dispute the amounts set forth in such Statement.  Tenant hereby acknowledges that Tenant’s sole right to inspect Landlord’s books and records and to contest the amount of Direct Expenses payable by Tenant shall be as set forth in this Section 4.6 , and Tenant hereby waives any and all other rights pursuant to Applicable Law to inspect such books and records and/or to contest the amount of Direct Expenses payable by Tenant.

8.4                                  Construction Insurance .   In addition to the requirements of Article 10 of this Lease, in the event that Tenant makes any Alterations, prior to the commencement of such Alterations, Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence that Tenant carries “Builder’s All Risk” insurance in an amount reasonably approved by Landlord covering the construction of such Alterations, and such other insurance as Landlord may reasonably require, it being understood and agreed that all of such Alterations shall be insured by Tenant pursuant to Article 10 of this Lease immediately upon completion thereof.  In addition, for any Alterations with an aggregate cost equal to or greater than $100,000.00 in any Lease Year, Tenant shall obtain a lien and completion bond or some alternate form of security reasonably satisfactory to Landlord in an amount sufficient to ensure the lien-free completion of such Alterations and naming Landlord as a co-obligee (“ Alteration Security ”); provided, however, if Tenant meets or exceeds one or both of the financial thresholds set forth in Sections 21.2.2.2(ii) and (iii) of this Lease , then Tenant shall not be required to obtain such Alteration Security.

 

8.5                                  Landlord’s Property .  Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledges and agree that (i) all Alterations, improvements, fixtures, affixed equipment and/or appurtenances which may be installed or placed in or about the Premises, from time to time, shall be at the sole cost of Tenant and shall be and become the property of Landlord, except as more particularly set forth below, and (ii) the Tenant Improvements to be constructed in the Premises pursuant to the TCCs of the Tenant Work Letter shall, upon completion of the same, be and become a part of the Premises and the property of Landlord.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, and provided that (A) the same are not Tenant Improvements constructed pursuant to the terms of the Tenant Work Letter, and (B) Landlord has not previously identified the same as “must-remain” items pursuant to the procedure set forth below, Tenant may remove any other Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment which Tenant can substantiate to Landlord have not been paid for (in whole or in part) with any improvement allowance funds provided to Tenant by Landlord, provided Tenant repairs any damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal and returns the affected portion of the Premises to a building standard general laboratory improved condition as reasonably determined by Landlord.  Furthermore, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant prior to the end of the Lease Term, or given following any earlier termination of this Lease, require Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, to (i) remove any Alterations or improvements in the Premises installed pursuant to this Article 8 , and/or (ii) remove any “Above Building Standard Tenant Improvements,” as that term is defined in Section 2.4 of the Tenant Work Letter, located within the Premises and replace the same with then existing “Building Standard Tenant Improvements,” as that term is defined in Section 2.3 of the Tenant Work Letter, and to repair any damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal and returns the affected portion of the Premises to a building standard tenant improved condition as reasonably determined by Landlord; provided, however, if in connection with its request for Landlord’s approval for particular Alterations, (1) Tenant requests Landlord’s decision with regard to the removal of such Alterations, and (2) Landlord thereafter agrees in writing to waive the removal requirement when approving such Alterations, then Tenant shall not be required to so remove such Alterations; provided further, however, that Landlord may, in connection with Landlord’s approval for particular Alterations (or, in Landlord’s approval is not required or sought, then within thirty (30) days of Landlord being notified of such Alterations), identify particular

Alterations as those which must-remain in the Premises and become the property of Landlord.  If Tenant fails to complete such removal and/or to repair any damage caused by the removal of any Alterations or improvements in the Premises, and returns the affected portion of the Premises to a building standard tenant improved condition as determined by Landlord, then at Landlord’s option, either (X) Tenant shall be deemed to be holding over in the Premises and Rent shall continue to accrue in accordance with the terms of Article 16 , below, until such work shall be completed, or (Y) Landlord may do so and may charge the cost thereof to Tenant.  Tenant hereby protects, defends, indemnifies and holds Landlord harmless from any liability, cost, obligation, expense or claim of lien in any manner relating to the violation of the foregoing provisions, which obligations of Tenant shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

 

ARTICLE 9

 

COVENANT AGAINST LIENS

 

Tenant shall keep the Project and Premises free from any liens or encumbrances arising out of the work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or on behalf of Tenant, and shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, judgments or costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising out of same or in connection therewith.  Tenant shall give Landlord notice at least twenty (20) days prior to the commencement of any such work on the Premises (or such additional time as may be necessary under applicable laws) to afford Landlord the opportunity of posting and recording appropriate notices of non-responsibility.  Tenant shall remove any such lien or encumbrance by bond or otherwise within ten (10) days after notice by Landlord, and if Tenant shall fail to do so, Landlord may pay the amount necessary to remove such lien or encumbrance, without being responsible for investigating the validity thereof.  The amount so paid shall be deemed Additional Rent under this Lease payable upon demand, without limitation as to other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease.  Nothing contained in this Lease shall authorize Tenant to do any act which shall subject Landlord’s title to the Building or Premises to any liens or encumbrances whether claimed by operation of law or express or implied contract.  Any claim to a lien or encumbrance upon the Building or Premises arising in connection with any such work or respecting the Premises not performed by or at the request of Landlord shall be null and void, or at Landlord’s option shall attach only against Tenant’s interest in the Premises and shall in all respects be subordinate to Landlord’s title to the Project, Building and Premises.  Notwithstanding anything in this Article 9 to the contrary, Landlord hereby acknowledges and agrees that Tenant may grant a security interest to Tenant’s construction lender pursuant to the express terms and conditions of Section 5.5 of the Tenant Work Letter.

 

ARTICLE 10

 

INSURANCE

 

10.1                            Indemnification and Waiver .  Tenant hereby releases Landlord from all risk of damage to property or injury to persons in, upon or about the Premises from any cause whatsoever (other than Landlord’s and Landlord Parties’ negligence or willful misconduct) and agrees that Landlord, its partners, subpartners and their respective officers, agents, servants, employees, and independent contractors (collectively, “ Landlord Parties ”) shall not be liable to

 

29



 

Tenant for, and are hereby released from any responsibility to Tenant for, any damage either to person or property or resulting from the loss of use thereof, which damage is sustained by Tenant or by other persons claiming through Tenant (other than damage arising due to Landlord’s and Landlord Parties’ negligence or willful misconduct).  Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless the Landlord Parties from any and all loss, cost, damage, expense and liability (including without limitation court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with or arising from any cause in or on the Premises (other than Landlord’s and Landlord Parties’ negligence or willful misconduct), any acts, omissions or negligence of Tenant or of any person claiming by, through or under Tenant, or of the contractors, agents, servants, employees, or licensees of Tenant (collectively, the “ Tenant Parties ”), in, on or about the Project or any breach of the TCCs of this Lease, either prior to, during, or after the expiration of the Lease Term, provided that the terms of the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Party.  Should Landlord be named as a defendant in any suit brought against Tenant in connection with or arising out of Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises and subject to the indemnification provision hereinabove, Tenant shall pay to Landlord its costs and expenses incurred in such suit, including without limitation, its actual professional fees such as appraisers’, accountants’ and attorneys’ fees.  Further, Tenant’s agreement to indemnify Landlord pursuant to this Section 10.1 is not intended and shall not relieve any insurance carrier of its obligations under policies required to be carried by Tenant or Landlord pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, to the extent such policies cover the matters subject to Tenant’s indemnification obligations; nor shall they supersede any inconsistent agreement of the parties set forth in any other provision of this Lease.  The provisions of this Section 10.1 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease with respect to any claims or liability arising in connection with any event occurring prior to such expiration or termination.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, nothing in this Lease shall impose any obligations on Tenant or Landlord to be responsible or liable for, and each hereby releases the other from all liability for, consequential damages other than those consequential damages incurred by Landlord in connection with a holdover of the Premises by Tenant after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

 

10.2                            Landlord’s Fire, Casualty and Liability Insurance .   Landlord shall carry commercial general liability insurance with respect to the Project and Building during the Lease Term, shall further insure the Project and Building Structure during the Lease Term against loss or damage due to fire and other casualties covered within the classification of fire and extended coverage, vandalism coverage and malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage, water damage and special extended coverage, as well as flood damage and additional hazards, and shall further carry rental interruption coverage for a period of one year.  Such coverage shall be in such amounts, from such companies, and on such other terms and conditions, as Landlord may from time to time reasonably determine; provided, however, such coverage shall be for the full replacement value of the Building Structure and the Project in compliance with all then-existing Applicable Laws.  Additionally, at the option of Landlord, such insurance coverage may include the risks of (i) earthquakes, (ii) one or more loss payee endorsements in favor of the holders of any mortgages or deeds of trust encumbering the interest of Landlord in the Building or the ground or underlying lessors of the Building, or any portion thereof, and (iii) ”Pollution Legal Liability Environmental Insurance,” as that term is set forth below; provided, however, that to the extent Tenant is not in default of this Lease (beyond any applicable notice and cure periods), Tenant shall have the option, upon thirty (30) days written notice to Landlord, to itself carry such

Pollution Legal Liability Environmental Insurance in lieu of Landlord carrying such insurance; provided further, however, to the extent Tenant elects to carry such Pollution Legal Liability Environment Insurance pursuant to the foregoing option, Tenant shall comply with the express coverage requirements set forth hereinbelow and such insurance coverage shall otherwise comply with the TCCs of Section 10.4 , below.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.2 , the coverage and amounts of insurance carried by Landlord in connection with the Building shall, at a minimum, be comparable to the coverage and amounts of insurance which are carried by reasonably prudent landlords of Comparable Buildings, and Worker’s Compensation and Employer’s Liability coverage as required by applicable law.  Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, comply with all commercially reasonable insurance company requirements pertaining to the use of the Premises.  If Tenant’s conduct or use of the Premises causes any increase in the premium for such insurance policies then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any such increase. Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations or requirements of the American Insurance Association (formerly the National Board of Fire Underwriters) and with any similar body.  For purposes of this Lease, the “ Pollution Legal Liability Environmental Insurance ” (aka an “Owner’s Policy” of environmental insurance) shall mean insurance (1) from an insurance carrier with a credit rating of no less than AAA, it being acknowledged and agreed by Landlord that, as of the date of this Lease, Kemper, AIG, Chubb, Zurich and the XL Insurance Company currently satisfy such credit rating, and (2) providing, at a minimum, the following:  (a) an initial 5-year policy term (with successive 1-year terms renewable on a rolling annual basis, until such time as the policy term equals or exceeds the Lease Expiration Date), (b) $2,000,000 coverage per incident or occurrence, (c) $2,000,000 aggregate coverage, (d) a deductible or self-insured retention of no more than $25,000, and (e) coverage for: (A) known and unknown pre-existing conditions; (B) unknown and later discovered conditions; (C) on-site and off-site third-party claims for bodily injury or property damage; and (D) legal defense expenses.  Furthermore, the policy of insurance must include an automatic extended reporting period that provides the Insured a period of no less than sixty (60) days following the effective date of termination of coverage in which to provide written notice to the insurance carrier of claims first made and reported within the automatic extended reporting period.  All other terms, coverage, exclusions, or conditions of the policy shall be at Landlord’s sole and complete discretion.

 

10.3                            Tenant’s Insurance .  Tenant shall maintain the following coverages in the following amounts.

 

10.3.1                   Commercial General Liability Insurance covering the insured against claims of bodily injury, personal injury and property damage (including loss of use thereof) arising out of Tenant’s operations, and contractual liabilities (covering the performance by Tenant of its indemnity agreements) including a Broad Form endorsement covering the insuring provisions of this Lease and, to the extent consistent with commercially standard policies of such insurance coverage, the performance by Tenant of the indemnity agreements set forth in Section 10.1 of this Lease, for limits of liability not less than:

10.3.2                   Physical Damage Insurance covering (i) all office furniture, business and trade fixtures, office equipment, free-standing cabinet work, movable partitions, merchandise and all other items of Tenant’s property on the Premises installed by, for, or at the expense of Tenant, (ii) the Building Systems, the “Tenant Improvements,” as that term is defined in Section 2.1 of the Tenant Work Letter, and any other improvements which exist in the Premises as of the Lease Commencement Date (excluding the Base Building) (the “ Original Improvements ”), and (iii) all other improvements, alterations and additions to the Premises made by Tenant.  Such insurance shall be written on a “special cause of loss” physical loss or damage basis, for the full replacement cost value (subject to reasonable deductible amounts) new without deduction for depreciation of the covered items and in amounts that meet any co-insurance clauses of the policies of insurance and shall include coverage for damage or other loss caused by fire or other peril including, but not limited to, vandalism and malicious mischief, theft, water damage of any type (provided the following shall not require Tenant to carry flood insurance, which flood insurance may instead be carried by Landlord pursuant to Section 10.2 , above), including sprinkler leakage, bursting or stoppage of pipes, and explosion.

 

10.3.3                   Worker’s Compensation and Employer’s Liability or other similar insurance pursuant to all applicable state and local statutes and regulations.

 

10.4                            Form of Policies .   The minimum limits of policies of insurance required of Tenant under this Lease shall in no event limit the liability of Tenant under this Lease.  Such insurance shall (i) name Landlord, and any other party the Landlord so specifies that has a material financial interest in the Project, as an additional insured, including Landlord’s managing agent, if any; (ii) specifically cover the liability assumed by Tenant under this Lease, including, but not limited to, Tenant’s obligations under Section 10.1 of this Lease to the extent consistent with commercially standard policies of such insurance coverage; (iii) be issued by an insurance company having a rating of not less than A-X in Best’s Insurance Guide or which is otherwise acceptable to Landlord and licensed to do business in the State of California; (iv) be primary insurance as to all claims thereunder and provide that any insurance carried by Landlord is excess and is non-contributing with any insurance requirement of Tenant; (v) be in form and content reasonably acceptable to Landlord; and (vi) provide that said insurance shall not be canceled or coverage materially changed unless ten (10) days’ prior written notice shall have been given to Landlord and any mortgagee of Landlord, the identity of whom has been provided to Tenant in writing.  Tenant shall deliver said policy or policies or certificates thereof to Landlord on or before the Lease Commencement Date and at least thirty (30) days before the expiration dates thereof.  In the event Tenant shall fail to procure such insurance, or to deliver such policies or certificate, Landlord may, at its option, after written notice to Tenant and Tenant’s failure to obtain such insurance within five (5) days thereafter, procure such policies for the account of Tenant, and the cost thereof shall be paid to Landlord within thirty (30) days after delivery to Tenant of bills therefor.

 

32



 

10.5                            Subrogation .  Landlord and Tenant intend that their respective property loss risks shall be borne by reasonable insurance carriers to the extent above provided, and, notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary set forth in this Lease, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to look solely to, and seek recovery only from, their respective insurance carriers in the event of a property loss to the extent that such coverage is agreed to be provided hereunder.  The parties each hereby waive all rights and claims against each other for such losses, and waive all rights of subrogation of their respective insurers, provided such waiver of subrogation shall not affect the right to the insured to recover thereunder.  The parties agree that their respective insurance policies are now, or shall be, endorsed such that the waiver of subrogation shall not affect the right of the insured to recover thereunder, so long as no material additional premium is charged therefor (unless the other party agrees to pay such additional premium).

 

10.6                            Additional Insurance Obligations .   Tenant shall carry and maintain during the entire Lease Term, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, increased amounts of the insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Article 10 and such other reasonable types of insurance coverage and in such reasonable amounts covering the Premises and Tenant’s operations therein, as may be reasonably requested by Landlord, but in no event in excess of the amounts and types of insurance then being required by landlords of other Comparable Buildings.

 

10.7                            Risk Management Obligations .  Landlord and Tenant shall promptly advise each other as to (i) any alleged accidents or casualty known by the reporting party which are substantially likely to result in the assertion of a claim against the other party, and (ii) the occurrence of any substantial casualty damage to the Project known to the reporting party.  Landlord and Tenant shall notify each other promptly of any threatened or pending condemnation, rezoning or other governmental orders, proceedings or lawsuits involving the Project.

 

ARTICLE 11

 

DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION

 

11.1                            Repair of Damage to Premises by Landlord .   If the Building Structure or any portions of the Project existing outside of the Building serving or providing access to the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustment or other matters beyond Landlord’s reasonable control (specifically including, without limitation, any requirement to obtain any license, clearance or other authorization of any kind required to enter into and restore the Premises issued by any governmental or quasi-governmental agency having jurisdiction over the use, storage, release or removal of “Hazardous Materials,” as that term is set forth in Section 29.33 of this Lease, below, in, on or about the Premises (collectively, the “ Hazardous Materials Clearances ”), which Hazardous Materials Clearances shall be obtained by Tenant), and subject to all other terms of this Article 11 , restore the Building Structure and all such portions of the Project existing outside of the Building.  Such restoration shall be to substantially the same condition of the Building Structure and exterior Project components prior to the casualty, except for modifications required by zoning and building codes and other laws or by the holder of a mortgage on the Building or Project or any other modifications to the exterior Project components deemed desirable by Landlord, which are consistent with the character of the

 

33



 

Project, provided that access to the Premises and any common restrooms serving the Premises shall not be materially impaired.  Upon the occurrence of any damage to the Premises, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, repair any injury or damage to the Building Systems, Tenant Improvements and the Original Improvements installed in the Premises and shall return such Building Systems, Tenant Improvements and Original Improvements to the condition existing immediately prior to such casualty (provided such Building Systems, Tenant Improvements and Original Improvements were properly maintained pursuant to the TCCs of this Lease prior to such casualty), except for modifications required by “Applicable Laws,” as that term is set forth in Article 24 of this Lease.  Prior to the commencement of construction, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, for Landlord’s review and approval, all plans, specifications and working drawings relating thereto, and Tenant shall select the contractors, subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval, to perform such improvement work.  Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or its visitors, or injury to Tenant’s business resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof; provided however, that if such fire or other casualty shall have damaged the Premises or Common Areas necessary to Tenant’s occupancy, and the Premises are not occupied by Tenant as a result thereof, then during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy, the Rent shall be abated in proportion to the ratio that the amount of rentable square feet of the Premises which is unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Lease bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises; provided further, however, that if any Hazardous Materials Clearances are required to be obtained by Tenant before such restoration can begin, such abatement of Rent shall continue for only so long as Tenant, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, diligently pursues obtaining such required Hazardous Materials Clearances.  Tenant’s right to rent abatement pursuant to the preceding sentence shall terminate as of the date which is reasonably determined by Landlord to be the date Tenant should have completed repairs to the Premises assuming Tenant used reasonable due diligence in connection therewith.

 

11.2                            Landlord’s Option to Repair .   Notwithstanding the terms of Section 11.1 of this Lease, Landlord may elect not to rebuild and/or restore the Building Structure and/or exterior Project components, and instead terminate this Lease, by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within sixty (60) days after the date of discovery of the damage, such notice to include a termination date giving Tenant sixty (60) days to vacate the Premises, but Landlord may so elect only if the Building Structure or exterior Project components shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or cause, whether or not the Premises are affected, and one or more of the following conditions is present: (i) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, repairs cannot reasonably be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of discovery of the damage (when such repairs are made without the payment of overtime or other premiums); (ii) the holder of any mortgage on the Building or Project or ground lessor with respect to the Building or Project shall require that the insurance proceeds or any portion thereof be used to retire the mortgage debt, or shall terminate the ground lease, as the case may be; (iii) the damage is not fully covered by the insurance policies Landlord is required to carry pursuant to the TCCs of this Lease; (iv) Landlord cannot, pursuant to the applicable laws then in effect, rebuild the Building Structure or exterior Project components so that they will be substantially the same structurally or architecturally; or (v) the damage occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term; provided, however, that if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to Landlord’s termination right as provided above, and the repairs cannot, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after being commenced, Tenant

 

34



 

may elect, no earlier than sixty (60) days after the date of the damage and not later than ninety (90) days after the date of such damage, to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord effective as of the date specified in the notice, which date shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date such notice is given by Tenant.  Furthermore, if neither Landlord nor Tenant has terminated this Lease, and the repairs are not actually completed within such 180-day period, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease during the first five (5) business days of each calendar month following the end of such period until such time as the repairs are complete, by notice to Landlord (the “ Damage Termination Notice ”), effective as of a date set forth in the Damage Termination Notice (the “ Damage Termination Date ”), which Damage Termination Date shall not be less than ten (10) business days following the end of each such month.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant delivers a Damage Termination Notice to Landlord, then Landlord shall have the right to suspend the occurrence of the Damage Termination Date for a period ending thirty (30) days after the Damage Termination Date set forth in the Damage Termination Notice by delivering to Tenant, within five (5) business days of Landlord’s receipt of the Damage Termination Notice, a certificate of Landlord’s contractor responsible for the repair of the damage certifying that it is such contractor’s good faith judgment that the repairs shall be substantially completed within thirty (30) days after the Damage Termination Date.  If repairs shall be substantially completed prior to the expiration of such thirty-day period, then the Damage Termination Notice shall be of no force or effect, but if the repairs shall not be substantially completed within such thirty-day period, then this Lease shall terminate upon the expiration of such thirty-day period.  At any time, from time to time, after the date occurring sixty (60) days after the date of the damage, Tenant may request that Landlord inform Tenant of Landlord’s reasonable opinion of the date of completion of the repairs and Landlord shall respond to such request within five (5) business days.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11.2 , Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease under this Section 11.2 only if each of the following conditions is satisfied: (a) the damage to the Project by fire or other casualty was not caused by the gross negligence or intentional act of Tenant or its partners or subpartners and their respective officers, agents, servants, employees, and independent contractors; (b) as a result of the damage, Tenant cannot reasonably conduct business from the Premises; and, (c) as a result of the damage to the Project, Tenant does not occupy or use the Premises at all.  In the event this Lease is terminated in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.2 , Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or to any party designated by Landlord) all insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant’s insurance required under Section 10.3.2 of this Lease; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, Tenant shall be entitled to retain a portion of such proceeds equal to the then-remaining unamortized amount (based on a straight-line amortization over the initial Lease Term) of the “Initial TI Disbursement” and the “Over-Allowance Amount,” as those terms are set forth in Sections 2.2.2.1 and 4.2.1 , respectively, of the Tenant Work Letter.

 

11.3                            Waiver of Statutory Provisions .  The provisions of this Lease, including this Article 11 , constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the Premises, the Building or the Project, and any statute or regulation of the State of California, including, without limitation, Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) of the California Civil Code, with respect to any rights or obligations concerning damage or destruction in the absence of an express agreement between the parties, and any other statute or regulation, now or hereafter in effect, shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of the Premises, the Building or the Project.

ARTICLE 12

 

NONWAIVER

 

No provision of this Lease shall be deemed waived by either party hereto unless expressly waived in a writing signed thereby.  The waiver by either party hereto of any breach of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained.  The subsequent acceptance of Rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such Rent.  No acceptance of a lesser amount than the Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to receive the full amount due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or payment or any letter accompanying such check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the full amount due.  No receipt of monies by Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease shall in any way alter the length of the Lease Term or of Tenant’s right of possession hereunder, or after the giving of any notice shall reinstate, continue or extend the Lease Term or affect any notice given Tenant prior to the receipt of such monies, it being agreed that after the service of notice or the commencement of a suit, or after final judgment for possession of the Premises, Landlord may receive and collect any Rent due, and the payment of said Rent shall not waive or affect said notice, suit or judgment.

 

ARTICLE 13

 

CONDEMNATION

 

If the whole or any part of the Premises or the Building shall be taken by power of eminent domain or condemned by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or if any adjacent property or street shall be so taken or condemned, or reconfigured or vacated by such authority in such manner as to require the use, reconstruction or remodeling of any part of the Premises or Building, or if Landlord shall grant a deed or other instrument in lieu of such taking by eminent domain or condemnation, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to the authority.  If more than fifty percent (50%) of the rentable square feet of the Premises is taken, or if access to the Premises is substantially impaired, in each case for a period in excess of one hundred eighty (180) days, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to the authority.  Tenant shall not because of such taking assert any claim against Landlord or the authority for any compensation because of such taking and Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award or payment in connection therewith, except that Tenant shall have the right to file any separate claim available to Tenant for any taking of (i) Tenant’s personal property, and (ii) improvements and fixtures belonging to Tenant and removable by Tenant upon expiration of the Lease Term pursuant to the TCCs of this Lease, and for moving expenses, so long as such claims do not diminish the award available to Landlord, its ground lessor with respect to the Building or Project or its mortgagee, and such claim is payable separately to Tenant.  All Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination.  If any

 

36



 

part of the Premises shall be taken, and this Lease shall not be so terminated, the Rent shall be proportionately abated.  Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it might otherwise have pursuant to Section 1265.130 of The California Code of Civil Procedure.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 13 , in the event of a temporary taking of all or any portion of the Premises for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days or less, then this Lease shall not terminate but the Base Rent and the Additional Rent shall be abated for the period of such taking in proportion to the ratio that the amount of rentable square feet of the Premises taken bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises.  Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award made in connection with any such temporary taking.

 

ARTICLE 14

 

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

 

14.1                            Transfers .  Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord as set forth more particularly in Section 14.2, below, assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, or permit any lien to attach to, or otherwise transfer, this Lease or any interest hereunder, permit any assignment, or other transfer of this Lease or any interest hereunder by operation of law, sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or enter into any license or concession agreements or otherwise permit the occupancy or use of the Premises or any part thereof by any persons other than Tenant and its employees and contractors (all of the foregoing are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as “ Transfers ” and any person to whom any Transfer is made or sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes referred to as a “ Transferee ”).  If Tenant desires Landlord’s consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing, which notice (the “ Transfer Notice ”) shall include (i) the proposed effective date of the Transfer, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of delivery of the Transfer Notice, (ii) a description of the portion of the Premises to be transferred (the “ Subject Space ”), (iii) all of the terms of the proposed Transfer and the consideration therefor, including calculation of the “ Transfer Premium ”, as that term is defined in Section 14.3 below, in connection with such Transfer, the name and address of the proposed Transferee, and a copy of all existing executed and/or proposed documentation pertaining to the proposed Transfer, including all existing operative documents to be executed to evidence such Transfer or the agreements incidental or related to such Transfer, (iv) current financial statements of the proposed Transferee certified by an officer, partner or owner thereof, business credit and personal references and history of the proposed Transferee and any other information required by Landlord which will enable Landlord to determine the financial responsibility, character, and reputation of the proposed Transferee, nature of such Transferee’s business and proposed use of the Subject Space and (v) an executed estoppel certificate from Tenant in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E .  Any Transfer made without Landlord’s prior written consent shall, at Landlord’s option, be null, void and of no effect, and shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease.  Whether or not Landlord consents to any proposed Transfer, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after written request by Landlord, reimburse Landlord for all reasonable and actual out-of-pocket third-party costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with its review of a proposed Transfer; provided that such costs and expenses shall not exceed One Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($1,500.00) for a Transfer in the ordinary course of business.  Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that a proposed Transfer shall not be considered “in the ordinary course of business” if such Transfer involves the review of

documentation by Landlord on more than two (2) occasions with regard to a single proposed Transfer.

 

14.2                            Landlord’s Consent .  Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed Transfer of the Subject Space to the Transferee on the terms specified in the Transfer Notice.  Without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent, the parties hereby agree that it shall be reasonable under this Lease and under any applicable law for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer where one or more of the following apply:

 

14.2.1                   The Transferee is of a character or reputation or engaged in a business which is not consistent with the quality of the Building or the Project;

 

14.2.2                   The Transferee intends to use the Subject Space for purposes which are not permitted under this Lease;

 

14.2.3                   The Transferee is either a governmental agency or instrumentality thereof;

 

14.2.4                   The Transferee is not a party of reasonable financial worth and/or financial stability in light of the responsibilities to be undertaken in connection with the Transfer on the date consent is requested;

 

14.2.5                   The proposed Transfer would cause a violation of another lease for space in the Project, or would give an occupant of the Project a right to cancel its lease;

 

14.2.6                   The terms of the proposed Transfer will allow the Transferee to exercise a right of renewal, right of expansion, right of first offer, or other similar right held by Tenant (or will allow the Transferee to occupy space leased by Tenant pursuant to any such right);

 

14.2.7                   Either the proposed Transferee, or any person or entity which directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the proposed Transferee, (i) occupies space in the Project at the time of the request for consent, or (ii) is negotiating with Landlord to lease space in the Project at such time, or (iii) has negotiated with Landlord during the six (6)-month period immediately preceding the Transfer Notice, and Landlord has available space in the Project suitable for such proposed Transferee; or

 

14.2.8                   The Transferee does not intend to occupy the entire Premises and conduct its business therefrom for a substantial portion of the term of the Transfer.

 

If Landlord consents to any Transfer pursuant to the terms of this Section 14.2 (and does not exercise any recapture rights Landlord may have under Section 14.4 of this Lease), Tenant may within six (6) months after Landlord’s consent, but not later than the expiration of said six-month period, enter into such Transfer of the Premises or portion thereof, upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Transfer Notice furnished by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Section 14.1 of this Lease, provided that if there are any changes in the terms and conditions from those specified in the Transfer Notice (i) such that Landlord would initially have been entitled to refuse its consent to such Transfer under this Section 14.2 , or (ii) which would cause the proposed Transfer to be more favorable to the Transferee than the

terms set forth in Tenant’s original Transfer Notice, Tenant shall again submit the Transfer to Landlord for its approval and other action under this Article 14 (including Landlord’s right of recapture, if any, under Section 14.4 of this Lease).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if Tenant or any proposed Transferee claims that Landlord has unreasonably withheld or delayed its consent under Section 14.2 or otherwise has breached or acted unreasonably under this Article 14 , their sole remedies shall be a declaratory judgment and an injunction for the relief sought without any monetary damages, and Tenant hereby waives all other remedies, including, without limitation, any right at law or equity to terminate this Lease, on its own behalf and, to the extent permitted under all applicable laws, on behalf of the proposed Transferee.  Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord from any and all liability, losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses, causes of action and proceedings involving any third party or parties (including without limitation Tenant’s proposed subtenant or assignee) who claim they were damaged by Landlord’s wrongful withholding or conditioning of Landlord’s consent, unless a court of competent jurisdiction determines that Landlord was wrongful in its withholding or conditioning of its consent.

 

14.3                            Transfer Premium .  If Landlord consents to a Transfer, as a condition thereto which the parties hereby agree is reasonable, Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of any “Transfer Premium,” as that term is defined in this Section 14.3 , received by Tenant from such Transferee.  “ Transfer Premium ” shall mean all rent, additional rent or other consideration payable by such Transferee in connection with the Transfer in excess of the Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease during the term of the Transfer on a per rentable square foot basis if less than all of the Premises is transferred, after deducting the reasonable expenses incurred by Tenant for (i) any changes, alterations and improvements to the Premises in connection with the Transfer, (ii) any free base rent reasonably provided to the Transferee, and (iii) any commercially reasonable brokerage commissions and legal fees in connection with the Transfer.  “Transfer Premium” shall also include, but not be limited to, key money, bonus money or other cash consideration paid by Transferee to Tenant in connection with such Transfer, and any payment in excess of fair market value for services rendered by Tenant to Transferee or for assets, fixtures, inventory, equipment, or furniture transferred by Tenant to Transferee in connection with such Transfer.  In the calculations of the Rent (as it relates to the Transfer Premium calculated under this Section 14.3 ), and the Transferee’s Rent and Quoted Rent under Section 14.2 of this Lease, the Rent paid during each annual period for the Subject Space, and the Transferee’s Rent and the Quoted Rent, shall be computed after adjusting such rent to the actual effective rent to be paid,  taking into consideration any and all leasehold concessions granted in connection therewith, including, but not limited to, any rent credit and improvement allowance.  For purposes of calculating any such effective rent all such concessions shall be amortized on a straight-line basis over the relevant term.

 

14.4                            Landlord’s Option as to Subject Space .  In the event that a proposed Transfer, if consented to, would cause fifty percent (50%) or more of the Premises to be subleased or assigned to a party other than Original Tenant and/or its Affiliates, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14 , Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14 , Landlord shall have the option, by giving written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of any Transfer Notice, to recapture the Subject Space.  Such recapture notice shall cancel and terminate this Lease with respect to the Subject Space as of the date stated in the Transfer Notice as the effective date of the proposed Transfer until the last day

 

39



 

of the term of the Transfer as set forth in the Transfer Notice (or at Landlord’s option, shall cause the Transfer to be made to Landlord or its agent, in which case the parties shall execute the Transfer documentation promptly thereafter).  In the event of a recapture by Landlord, if this Lease shall be canceled with respect to less than the entire Premises, the Rent reserved herein shall be prorated on the basis of the number of rentable square feet retained by Tenant in proportion to the number of rentable square feet contained in the Premises, and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect, and upon request of either party, the parties shall execute written confirmation of the same.  If Landlord declines, or fails to elect in a timely manner to recapture the Subject Space under this Section 14.4 , then, provided Landlord has consented to the proposed Transfer, Tenant shall be entitled to proceed to transfer the Subject Space to the proposed Transferee, subject to provisions of this Article 14 .

 

14.5                            Effect of Transfer .  If Landlord consents to a Transfer, (i) the TCCs of this Lease shall in no way be deemed to have been waived or modified, (ii) such consent shall not be deemed consent to any further Transfer by either Tenant or a Transferee, (iii) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, promptly after execution, an original executed copy of all documentation pertaining to the Transfer in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (iv) Tenant shall furnish upon Landlord’s request a complete statement, certified by Tenant’s chief financial officer, setting forth in detail the computation of any Transfer Premium Tenant has derived and shall derive from such Transfer, and (v) no Transfer relating to this Lease or agreement entered into with respect thereto, whether with or without Landlord’s consent, shall relieve Tenant or any guarantor of the Lease from any liability under this Lease, including, without limitation, in connection with the Subject Space.  Landlord or its authorized representatives shall have the right at all reasonable times to audit the books, records and papers of Tenant relating to any Transfer, and shall have the right to make copies thereof.  If the Transfer Premium respecting any Transfer shall be found understated, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after demand, pay the deficiency, and if understated by more than five percent (5%), Tenant shall pay Landlord’s costs of such audit.

 

14.6                            Additional Transfers .  For purposes of this Lease, the term “ Transfer ” shall also include (i) if Tenant is a partnership, the withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, or transfer of fifty percent (50%) or more of partnership interests, within a twelve (12)-month period, or the dissolution of the partnership without immediate reconstitution thereof, and (ii) if Tenant is a closely held corporation ( i.e. , whose stock is not publicly held and not traded through a nationally recognized exchange or over the counter), (A) the merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant in which the holders of Tenant’s outstanding voting stock immediately prior to such transaction own, immediately after such transaction, securities representing less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the corporation or other entity surviving such transaction, (B) the sale or other transfer by the Tenant of an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting shares of Tenant in a single transaction or series of transactions, within any twelve (12)-month period (other than in connection with a capital raising transaction involving the sale of capital stock of Tenant to bona fide third-party investors), or (C) the sale, mortgage, exclusive license, hypothecation or pledge of all or substantially all of the value of the unencumbered assets of Tenant in a single transaction or series of transactions within a twelve (12)-month period.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Article 14 to the contrary, in no event shall an offering of stock to (1) third parties by means of a public offering (either an initial public offering or a subsequent public

 

40



 

offering) through a recognized stock market, or (2) in connection with research and development partnerships or collaborative agreements, constitute a “Transfer.”

 

14.7                            Occurrence of Default .  Any Transfer hereunder shall be subordinate and subject to the provisions of this Lease, and if this Lease shall be terminated during the term of any Transfer, Landlord shall have the right to:  (i) treat such Transfer as canceled and repossess the Subject Space by any lawful means, or (ii) require that such Transferee attorn to and recognize Landlord as its landlord under any such Transfer.  If Tenant shall be in default under this Lease, Landlord is hereby irrevocably authorized, as Tenant’s agent and attorney-in-fact, to direct any Transferee to make all payments under or in connection with the Transfer directly to Landlord (which Landlord shall apply towards Tenant’s obligations under this Lease) until such default is cured.  Such Transferee shall rely on any representation by Landlord that Tenant is in default hereunder, without any need for confirmation thereof by Tenant.  Upon any assignment, the assignee shall assume in writing all obligations and covenants of Tenant thereafter to be performed or observed under this Lease.  No collection or acceptance of rent by Landlord from any Transferee shall be deemed a waiver of any provision of this Article 14 or the approval of any Transferee or a release of Tenant from any obligation under this Lease, whether theretofore or thereafter accruing.  In no event shall Landlord’s enforcement of any provision of this Lease against any Transferee be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to enforce any term of this Lease against Tenant or any other person.  If Tenant’s obligations hereunder have been guaranteed, Landlord’s consent to any Transfer shall not be effective unless the guarantor also consents to such Transfer.

 

14.8                            Non-Transfers .   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14 , to the extent the Original Tenant in not then in default under this Lease (beyond any applicable notice and cure periods) , an assignment or subletting of all or a portion of the Premises to (i) an affiliate of Tenant (an entity which is controlled by, controls or is under common control, as such term is defined in California General Corporations Code (“ CGCC ”) Sections 160 and 5045, with, Tenant), (ii) an entity which merges with or acquires or is acquired by, Tenant or a parent of Tenant, as defined in CGCC Sections 175 and 5064, or a subsidiary, as defined in CGCC Sections 189 and 5073, of Tenant’s parent or Affiliate, or (iii) a transferee of substantially all of the assets of Tenant (collectively, an “ Affiliate ”) along with any other entity which will qualify as an “affiliate” under CGCC 150 and 5031, shall not be deemed a Transfer under this Article 14 , provided that Tenant notifies Landlord of any such assignment or sublease and promptly supplies Landlord with any documents or information reasonably requested by Landlord regarding such assignment or sublease or such Affiliate, and such assignment or sublease is not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Lease, or otherwise “releases” the Original Tenant from such obligations.

ARTICLE 16

 

HOLDING OVER

 

If Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Lease Term or earlier termination thereof, with or without the express or implied consent of Landlord, such tenancy shall be from month-to-month only, and shall not constitute a renewal hereof or an extension for any further term, and in such case Rent shall be payable at a monthly rate equal to the product of (i) the Rent applicable during the last rental period of the Lease Term under this Lease, and (ii) a percentage equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) during the first two (2) months immediately following the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, and two hundred percent (200%) thereafter.  Such month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other applicable term, covenant and agreement contained herein.  Nothing contained in this Article 16 shall be construed as consent by Landlord to any holding over by Tenant, and Landlord expr
