OFFICE
LEASE
THIS LEASE is made and entered into
by and between Landlord and Tenant as of the Lease Date. This Lease
amends and restates in its entirety that certain Office Lease
between Landlord and Tenant dated April 26, 2000. Landlord and
Tenant hereby agree as follows:
1. Definitions .
1.1. Terms Defined . The
following terms have the meanings set forth below. Certain other
terms have the meanings set forth in the Basic Lease Information or
elsewhere in this Lease.
Alterations
: Alterations, additions or other
improvements to the Premises made by or on behalf of Tenant (but
not including Tenant’s moveable trade fixtures, moveable
items of personal property or the alterations, additions or other
improvements, if any, made by or on behalf of Tenant during the
initial improvement of the Premises pursuant to and governed by the
provisions of the Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit C
).
Annex : The office building consisting of 6-stories
located adjacent to the westerly wing of the Building.
Annex Lease
: That certain sublease dated as of
even date with this Lease, between Landlord and Tenant for a
portion of the space located in the Annex.
Base Operating Expenses and Base
Real Estate Taxes : The
Operating Expenses and the Real Estate Taxes paid or incurred by
Landlord in the Base Year. For purposes of determining Real Estate
Taxes for the Base Year, Landlord shall make an appropriate
adjustment to the Real Estate Taxes for such year as reasonably
determined by Landlord using sound accounting and management
principles, to determine the amount of Real Estate Taxes (including
the annual installment of any special assessment, including any
special assessment first assessed after 2000, but relating to the
renovation of the Building or the initial buildout of the Premises)
that would have been incurred during such year if the tenant
improvements in the Building had been fully constructed and the
Land, the Building, and all tenant improvements in the Building had
been fully assessed for Real Estate Tax purposes. For purposes of
determining Operating Expenses for the Base Year, if Landlord does
not obtain earthquake insurance for the Building during the Base
Year, Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment to the amount
of Operating Expenses for the Base Year at such time as Landlord
elects to obtain earthquake insurance so as to impute the amount of
the premium that would have been incurred as an Operating Expense
if not self insured (assuming such insurance was competitively bid
and included customary coverage and exclusions and commercially
reasonable deductibles).
Building : The office building consisting of an 11-story
building located on the Land, commonly known as The Landmark @ One
Market, One Market Street, San Francisco, California, and any
additions to such Building.
Escalation Rent
: Tenant’s Percentage Share of
the total dollar increase, if any, in Operating Expenses and in
Real Estate Taxes, each as paid or incurred by Landlord in each
calendar year, or part thereof, after the Base Year, over the
amount of Base Operating Expenses and Base Real Estate Taxes. If
the Building is less than ninety-five percent (95%) occupied during
any part of any year (including the Base Year), Landlord shall make
an appropriate adjustment of the variable components of
Operating
-5-
Expenses and Real Estate Taxes for
that year, as reasonably determined by Landlord using sound
accounting and management principles, to determine the amount of
Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes that would have been
incurred during such year if the Building had been ninety-five
percent (95%) occupied during the entire year. If the management
fees for the Building for any year are calculated as a different
percentage of gross revenue than in the Base Year, then the
percentage used in the calculation of management fees in any such
year shall be adjusted upward or downward to be identical to the
percentage used during the Base Year. This amount shall be
considered to have been the amount of Operating Expenses and Real
Estate Taxes for that year. For purposes hereof, “variable
components” include only those component expenses that are
affected by variations in occupancy levels.
Impositions
: Taxes, assessments, charges,
excises and levies, business taxes, licenses, permits, inspection
and other authorization fees, transit development fees, assessments
or charges for housing funds, service payments in lieu of taxes and
any other fees or charges of any kind at any time levied, assessed,
charged or imposed by any federal, state or local entity, (i) upon,
measured by or reasonably attributable to the cost or value of
Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures or other personal
property located in the Premises, or the cost or value of any
alterations, additions or other improvements to the Premises made
by or on behalf of Tenant during the initial improvement of the
Premises pursuant to and governed by the Work Letter which exceed
Building standard improvements (which are defined to mean tenant
improvements costing less than $37.50 per square foot of Rentable
Area) and any subsequent Alterations; (ii) upon, or measured by,
any Rent payable hereunder, including any gross receipts tax; (iii)
upon, with respect to or by reason of the development, possession,
leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair,
use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises, or any portion thereof;
or (iv) upon this Lease transaction, or any document to which
Tenant is a party creating or transferring any interest or estate
in the Premises. Impositions do not include Real Estate Taxes,
franchise, transfer, inheritance or capital stock taxes, or income
taxes measured by the net income of Landlord from all sources,
unless any such taxes are levied or assessed against Landlord as a
substitute for, in whole or in part, any Imposition.
Land : The parcel of land described on Exhibit
B attached to this Lease.
Operating Expenses

or appropriate in Landlord’s judgment for the health and
safety of occupants of the Building, or that are required under any

Real Estate Taxes

property, by any federal, state or local entity, including: (i) all

(C) penalties, fines, interest or charges due for late payment of

installments, such Real Estate Taxes shall, together with any
interest that would otherwise be payable with such installment, be
deemed to have been paid in installments, amortized over the
maximum time period allowed by applicable law.
Rent : Base Rent, Escalation Rent and all other
additional charges and amounts payable by Tenant in accordance with
this Lease.
Rentable Area
: The aggregate of (i) the Leased
Area (as defined below) of the portion of the floor occupied by
Tenant, plus (ii) the result obtained by multiplying (1) the area
of the Common Area (as defined below) on such floor by (2) a
fraction whose numerator is the Leased Area of Tenant’s
portion of the floor and whose denominator is the Leased Area of
all tenant space on such floor, plus (iii) in the event that
Landlord must enlarge or alter in any way, shape or fashion the
Common Area to accommodate Tenant’s Leased Area, the total
additional Common Area space. For purposes of this paragraph,
“Leased Area” shall mean all floor area in a tenant
space, measured to the inside glass surface of exterior Building
walls, to the center of corridors and other permanent partitions,
and to the center of partitions that separate tenant space from
adjoining tenant spaces, without deduction for columns and
projections necessary to the Building; and “Common
Area” shall mean the total area on a floor consisting of
restrooms, janitor, telephone and electrical closets, mechanical
areas and public corridors providing access to tenant space on such
floor, but excluding the main Building lobby, public stairs,
elevator shafts and pipe shafts. At any time within three (3)
business days after the Lease Date, Tenant may engage an
independent licensed architect or surveyor to measure the Rentable
Area of the Premises. Tenant’s architect or
surveyor
-8-
shall determine the Rentable Area in
accordance with the standards set forth in this paragraph. If the
architect’s or surveyor’s measurement of the Rentable
Area is less than the area of the Premises set forth in the Basic
Lease Information by greater than two percent (2%), then Tenant
shall have the right to terminate the Lease by delivering to
Landlord, within three (3) business days after the Lease Date,
written notice of its intentions to terminate the Lease based upon
such variance. Tenant’s failure to deliver such notice to
Landlord within such three (3) business day period shall constitute
Tenant’s waiver of its right to terminate the Lease pursuant
to this paragraph. In addition, before the Possession Date,
Landlord’s architect shall reasonably remeasure the Rentable
Area of the First Floor Portion (the “Remeasurement”).
If such Remeasurement discloses that the Rentable Area of the First
Floor Portion is less than or greater than 15,947 square feet, then
Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Lease
pursuant to which Landlord equitably adjusts the Rentable Area of
the Premises, the Base Rent and the Tenant’s Percentage
Share.
Scient Lease
. That certain lease dated October
15, 1999 between Landlord and Scient Corporation
(“Scient”) for a portion of the Building, without
reference to any amendment or modification that is subsequent to
such date.
Tenant’s Percentage
Share : The percentage
figure specified in the Basic Lease Information. Landlord and
Tenant acknowledge that Tenant’s Percentage Share has been
obtained by dividing the Rentable Area of the Premises, as
specified in the Basic Lease Information by the total Rentable Area
of the Building, and multiplying such quotient by one hundred
(100). In the event Tenant’s Percentage Share is changed
during a calendar year by reason of a change in the Rentable Area
of the Premises or a change in the total Rentable Area of the
Building, Tenant’s Percentage Share shall thereafter mean the
result obtained by dividing the then Rentable Area of the Premises
by the then total Rentable Area of the Building and multiplying
such quotient by one hundred (100). For the purposes of determining
Tenant’s Percentage Share of Escalation Rent, Tenant’s
Percentage Share shall be determined on the basis of the number of
days during such calendar year at each such Percentage
Share.
Term : The period from the Possession Date to the
Expiration Date.
Wattage Allowance
: The product obtained by
multiplying the Rentable Area of the Premises by 6 watts.
“Lighting Wattage Allowance” means thirty-three percent
(33%) of the Wattage Allowance.
1.2. Effect of Certain Defined
Terms . The parties acknowledge that the Rentable Area of the
Premises and the Building have been finally determined by the
parties as part of this Lease for all purposes, including the
calculation of Tenant’s Percentage Share and will not, except
as otherwise provided in this Lease, be changed.
2. Lease of Premises
.
2.1. Premises . Landlord
leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord the Premises,
together with the non-exclusive right to use, in common with
others, the lobbies, entrances, stairs, elevators, plazas,
pedestrian walkways, restrooms, and other public portions of the
Building, all subject to the terms, covenants and conditions set
forth in this Lease. Subject to compliance with applicable law,
Tenant shall have the right at its cost to decorate the stair wells
within its Premises and to install a card access system to the
doors from the stairwells to the Premises (including all cabling
required for such system) so as to permit travel by Tenant between
the floors of the Premises. The right to use the stairwells however
shall remain non-exclusive. All the windows and exterior walls of
the Premises, the terraces adjacent to the Premises, if any, and
any space in the Premises used for shafts, columns, projections,
stacks, pipes, conduits, ducts,
-9-
electric utilities, sinks or other
Building facilities, and the use thereof and access thereto through
the Premises for the purposes of management, operation, maintenance
and repairs, are reserved to Landlord.
2.2. Deletion of Portion of
Premises . Only if Scient exercises its right to expand its
premises pursuant to the terms of the Scient Lease during the
twelve (12) month period described in Section 2.4 of the Scient
Lease, and provided that Landlord terminates the Annex Lease as of
the same date, then Landlord shall have the right, in
Landlord’s sole discretion, upon providing Tenant nine (9)
months written notice and a copy of written notice of Scient
exercising such right (“Deletion Notice”), to terminate
this Lease as to the Fourth Floor Portion of the Premises (which
termination shall not be effective before a date three (3) years
after the Commencement Date). If Landlord timely delivers a
Deletion Notice to Tenant, then Landlord shall concurrently deliver
to Tenant an amendment to this Lease memorializing the termination
of this Lease as to the Fourth Floor Portion from the Premises (the
“Deletion Amendment”). The Deletion Amendment shall
provide the following: (i) the definition of the Premises shall be
modified to exclude the Fourth Floor Portion, (ii) Tenant’s
Percentage Share shall be decreased to reflect the deletion of the
Fourth Floor Portion from the Premises, (iii) the Initial Base Rent
shall be reduced by $1,033,868.00 (provided, however, that if the
provisions of Section 2.6 previously resulted in a reduction of
Base Rent, then the Initial Base Rent shall only be reduced by
$813,568.00), (iv) the Middle Base Rent shall be reduced by
$1,058,506.20 (provided, however, that if the provisions of Section
2.6 previously resulted in a reduction of Base Rent, then the
Initial Base Rent shall only be reduced by $857,152.00), (v) the
Final Base Rent shall be reduced by $1,081,846.20 (provided,
however, that if the provisions of Section 2.6 previously resulted
in a reduction of Base Rent, then the Initial Base Rent shall only
be reduced by $871,680.00), and (vi) the then current amount of the
Security Deposit shall be proportionately reduced to reflect the
reduction in the aggregate Base Rent under this Lease and the Annex
Lease in proportion to the then current aggregate Base Rent under
this Lease and the Annex Lease. If Tenant fails to execute the
Deletion Amendment within thirty (30) days after receipt of the
Deletion Amendment from Landlord, or if Tenant fails to vacate the
Fourth Floor Portion of the Premises on or before the effective
date of the Deletion Amendment, then Tenant shall be in default
under this Lease and Landlord shall have the right to exercise all
of its rights and remedies under this Lease. If Scient properly
rescinds its notice delivered with the Retention Notice, then
Landlord shall advise Tenant of such rescission in writing and
Tenant shall have the right, for a period of ten (10) days after
receipt of Landlord’s notice, to elect in writing to cause
the Deletion Amendment to be rescinded and to remain in possession
of the Fourth Floor Portion on the terms and conditions of this
Lease.
2.3. Satellite Dish/Antennae
. Subject to Tenant’s compliance (at Tenant’s sole cost
and expense) with all applicable laws, rules and ordinances, and
subject to Tenant obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld, Tenant shall have the
right to elect, by delivery of written notice to Landlord, to
install, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, an antenna or
satellite dish on the roof of the Building in a location determined
by Landlord in its sole discretion (the “Dish”). Tenant
shall be solely responsible for the installation, insurance,
maintenance and repair of the Dish and the repair of any damage to
the roof of the Building caused by Tenant’s use, installation
or maintenance of the Dish. The Dish shall be of reasonable size
and design so as not to materially and adversely affect the
Building structure, loading, systems or aesthetics. The use and
installation of any antenna or satellite dish on the roof of the
Building by any other tenant or occupant of the Building shall not
interfere with Tenant’s use of the Dish and Tenant’s
use and installation of the Dish shall not interfere with the use
of antennas or satellite dishes by other tenants of the Building.
The Dish may be installed only after the acquisition by Tenant of
all appropriate permits, consents and licenses. The provisions of
this Lease regarding Alterations shall apply as if the installation
of the Dish were a Tenant Alteration.
2.4. Conditions Precedent .
If Tenant does not obtain a reasonably satisfactory subordination,
non-disturbance and attornment agreement from Union Bank on or
before July 14, 2000, then Tenant may
-10-
terminate this Lease at any time
before July 17, 2000 by giving Landlord written notice, in which
event Landlord shall promptly return all consideration previously
paid by Tenant to Landlord. In addition, this Lease with respect to
the Fourth Floor Portion only is expressly conditioned upon the
approval of the Annex Lease by the master landlord (“Master
Landlord”) under the Annex Lease. If Landlord fails to obtain
Master Landlord’s consent on or before July 14, 2000, then
Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease with respect to the
Fourth Floor Portion only and the Annex Lease (but not one of such
leases and not the other) at any time thereafter, but before the
date such consent is obtained, by giving the other party written
notice, in which event Landlord shall deliver to Tenant an
amendment to this Lease memorializing the termination of this Lease
as to the Fourth Floor Portion from the Premises (the “Annex
Deletion Amendment”). The Annex Deletion Amendment shall
provide the following: (i) the definition of the Premises shall be
modified to exclude the Fourth Floor Portion, (ii) Tenant’s
Percentage Share shall be decreased to reflect the deletion of the
Fourth Floor Portion from the Premises, (iii) the Preliminary Base
Rent shall be reduced by $987,188.00, (iv) the Initial Base Rent

reduction in the aggregate Base Rent under this Lease and the Annex
Lease in proportion to the then current aggregate Base Rent under
this Lease and the Annex Lease, and Landlord shall promptly return
all consideration previously paid by Tenant to Landlord with
respect to the Fourth Floor Portion. If Tenant fails to execute the
Annex Deletion Amendment within thirty (30) days after receipt of
the Annex Deletion Amendment from Landlord, then Tenant shall be in
default under this Lease and Landlord shall have the right to
exercise all of its rights and remedies under this Lease. Landlord
shall use reasonable efforts to obtain the satisfaction of the
foregoing conditions.
2.5 Use Change . Landlord and
Tenant acknowledge that the First Floor Portion may not currently
be used for office purposes. In addition, Landlord and Tenant
acknowledge that it may be economically unfeasible to configure a
mezzanine in the First Floor Portion (the “Mezzanine”)
in accordance with the requirements of all Laws and this Lease
(including Schedule 1 hereto). Landlord shall use reasonable
efforts to obtain all approvals necessary to permit the use of the
First Floor Portion for office purposes, at Landlord’s sole
cost and expense (the “Office Permits”), and Landlord
shall use reasonable efforts to obtain an economically feasible
plan for the configuration of the Mezzanine in the First Floor
Portion in accordance with the requirements of all Laws and this
Lease (including Schedule 1 hereto) (the “Mezzanine
Plans”). Landlord shall promptly notify Tenant upon its
receipt of all Office Permits (“Office Permits
Notice”). Landlord shall promptly notify Tenant upon its
determination that it has developed economically feasible Mezzanine
Plans to construct and deliver the Mezzanine as a portion of
Landlord’s Work (the “Mezzanine Acceptance
Notice”).
2.5.1 Office Permits . If
Landlord does not obtain the Office Permits on or before September
1, 2000, then Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease with
respect to the First Floor Portion at any time thereafter, but
before delivery of the Office Permits Notice, by giving the other
party written notice (the “First Floor Notice”). Upon
proper delivery of any First Floor Notice pursuant to this Section
2.5.1, Landlord shall promptly deliver to Tenant an amendment to
this Lease memorializing the deletion of the First Floor Portion
from the Premises (the “First Floor Deletion
Amendment”). The First Floor Deletion Amendment shall provide
the following: (i) the definition of the Premises shall be modified
to exclude the First Floor Portion, (ii) Tenant’s Percentage
Share shall be decreased to reflect the deletion of the First Floor
Portion from the Premises, (iii) the Preliminary Base Rent shall be
reduced by $1,275,760.00, (iv) the Initial Base Rent shall be
reduced by $1,323,601.00, (v) the Middle Base Rent shall be reduced
by $1,371,442.00, (vi) the Final Base Rent shall be reduced by

Deposit shall be proportionately reduced to reflect the percentage
reduction in the Base Rent, (viii) the “Initial Possession
Date” shall be deemed to be the “Possession
Date”, and (ix) all references in the Lease to the
First
-11-
Floor Portion shall be deemed
deleted. If Tenant fails to execute the First Floor Deletion
Amendment within thirty (30) days after receipt of the First Floor
Deletion Amendment from Landlord, then Tenant shall be in default
under this Lease and Landlord shall have the right to exercise all
of its rights and remedies under this Lease.
2.5.2 Mezzanine . If Landlord
does not obtain economically feasible Mezzanine Plans on or before
September 1, 2000, then Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease
with respect to the Mezzanine at any time thereafter, but before
delivery of the Mezzanine Acceptance Notice, by giving the other

proper delivery of any Mezzanine Notice pursuant to this Section
2.5.2, Landlord shall promptly deliver to Tenant an amendment to
this Lease memorializing the deletion of the Mezzanine from the
Premises (the “Mezzanine Deletion Amendment”). The
Mezzanine Deletion Amendment shall provide the following: (i) the
definition of the Premises shall be modified to exclude the
Mezzanine and to reduce the Rentable Area of the First Floor
Portion to 11,947 square feet, (ii) Tenant’s Percentage Share
shall be decreased to reflect the reduction in the Rentable Area of
the First Floor Portion, (iii) the Preliminary Base Rent shall be
reduced by $320,000.00, (iv) the Initial Base Rent shall be reduced

default under this Lease and Landlord shall have the right to
exercise all of its rights and remedies under this
Lease.
2.6. Termination of Annex
Lease . If for any reason the Annex Lease terminates and the
Fourth Floor Portion remains included in the Premises, then
Landlord shall promptly deliver to Tenant an amendment to this
Lease memorializing the termination of the Annex Lease (the
“Annex Termination Amendment”). The Annex Termination

Annex Termination Amendment from Landlord, then Tenant shall be in
default under this Lease and Landlord shall have the right to
exercise all of its rights and remedies under this
Lease.
3. Term; Condition and Acceptance
of Premises .
3.1 Initial Term and Acceptance
of Premises . Except as hereinafter provided, and unless sooner
terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, the Term of
this Lease shall commence on the earlier of the Initial Possession
Date and the Possession Date and end on the Expiration Date. Except
as otherwise provided in the Tenant Improvement Agreement attached
to this Lease as Exhibit C (the “Work Letter”),
Landlord shall deliver the Premises to Tenant on the Possession
Date (and the Initial Possession Date with respect to the Third
Floor Portion and the Fourth Floor Portion) in the condition
required under the Work Letter and this Lease. If Landlord, for any
reason whatsoever, cannot deliver the Premises to Tenant in the
condition specified herein by the Anticipated Possession Date, this
Lease shall not be void or voidable. No delay in delivery of the
Premises for any reason whatsoever shall operate to extend the
Expiration Date or the Term. In the event that the Premises are
delivered to Tenant on any date other than the Anticipated
Possession Date set forth in the Basic Lease Information of this
Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall execute a Confirmation of Lease
Term in the form as set forth in Exhibit E attached to this
Lease. Tenant’s occupancy of all or any portion of the (i)
Third Floor Portion shall constitute Tenant’s acceptance of
the Third Floor
-12-
Portion, (ii) Fourth Floor Portion
shall constitute Tenant’s acceptance of the Fourth Floor
Portion and (iii) the First Floor Portion shall constitute
Tenant’s acceptance of the First Floor Portion, in the
condition called for by this Lease, except for punchlist items
described in Section 5.1 of the Work Letter and except for latent
defects in the windows discovered within one (1) year after the
Possession Date and latent defects in other Landlord’s Work
discovered within sixty (60) days after the Possession Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Possession Date occurs after
September 1, 2000 as a result of events other than delays caused by
the acts or omissions of Tenant, or Tenant’s contractors,
employees or agents (“Tenant Delays”), then
“Commencement Date” shall be a date calculated as
follows: (1) four (4) months after the Possession Date, plus (ii)
the number of days by which the Possession Date exceeds September
1, 2000, minus (iii) the number of days of delay that Landlord is
actually delayed in delivering the Premises to Tenant caused by
Tenant Delays.
3.2 Option to Extend
.
3.2.1. Exercise of Option to
Extend Term . If no “Suspension Condition” (as
hereinafter defined) exists at the time of Tenant’s exercise
of the option to extend the Term or at the commencement of the
Extended Term, and if Tenant has timely and properly exercised the
option to extend set forth in the Annex Lease for the comparable
extended term, Tenant shall have one (1) option (the
“Extension Option”) to extend the Initial Term for an
additional period of five (5) years (an “Extended
Term”). To exercise Tenant’s option with respect to the
Extended Term, Tenant shall give notice to Landlord not less than
twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term
(“Election Notice”). A “Suspension
Condition” shall mean the existence of any event or condition
of default after the expiration of any applicable grace, notice or
cure periods. Notwithstanding any provision in this Lease to the
contrary, Tenant shall have no right to exercise the Extension
Option unless Tenant simultaneously properly exercises the
extension option under the Annex Lease.
3.2.2. Fair Market Rent . If
Tenant properly and timely exercises the Extension Option pursuant
to Section 3.2.1 above, such Extended Term shall be upon all of the
same terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease; provided,
however, that the Base Rent applicable to the Premises for the
Extended Terms shall be the greater of: (1) the Base Rent and
Escalation Rent as of the last month of the Initial Term, or (ii)
one hundred percent (100%) of the “Fair Market Rent”
for space comparable to the Premises as of the commencement of the
Extended Term; provided further, however, that the Base Year during
the Extended Term shall be the first full calendar year following
the first day of the Extended Term. “Fair Market Rent”
shall mean the annual rental being charged for first class space
comparable to the Premises in buildings comparable to the Building
in the financial district of San Francisco, taking into account
location, condition and improvements to the space; provided,
however, that Fair Market Rent shall not be discounted to reflect
tenant improvement allowances granted to other tenants, but
Landlord shall be obligated to contribute to Tenant upon
commencement of the applicable Extended Term a refurbishment
allowance equivalent to the refurbishment allowances granted to
renewal tenants in buildings comparable to the Building in the
financial district of San Francisco, which refurbishment allowance
shall be used by Tenant, within one (1) year after receipt, for the
improvement of the Premises. Tenant shall pay all leasing
commissions and consulting fees payable in connection with such
extensions, unless such leasing commissions or consulting fees
arise solely out of a contractual relationship between Landlord and
a broker or consultant. All other terms and conditions of the
Lease, which may be amended from time to time by the parties in
accordance with the provisions of the Lease, shall remain in full
force and effect and shall apply during the Extended Term, except
that there shall be no further option to extend the Term beyond a
date five (5) years after the expiration of the Initial
Term.
-13-
3.2.3. Determination of Rent
. Within forty-five (45) days after the date of the Election
Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in good faith in an
attempt to determine Fair Market Rent for the Extended Term. If
they are unable to agree within said forty-five (45) day period,
then the Fair Market Rent shall be determined as provided in
Section 3.2.4 below.
3.2.4. Appraisal . If it
becomes necessary to determine the Fair Market Rent for the
Premises by appraisal, the real estate appraiser(s) indicated in
this Section 3.2.4, each of whom shall be members of the American
Institute of Real Estate Appraisers and each of whom have at least
five (5) years experience appraising office space located in the
vicinity of the Premises, shall be appointed and shall act in
accordance with the following procedures:
(i) If the parties are unable to
agree on the Fair Market Rent within the allowed time, either party
may demand an appraisal by giving written notice to the other
party, which demand to be effective must state the name, address
and qualifications of an appraiser selected by the party demanding
the appraisal (“Notifying Party”). Within ten (10) days
following the Notifying Party’s appraisal demand, the other
party (“Non-Notifying Party”) shall either approve the
appraiser selected by the Notifying Party or select a second
properly qualified appraiser by giving written notice of the name,
address and qualification of said appraiser to the Notifying Party.
If the Non-Notifying Party fails to select an appraiser within the
ten (10) day period, the appraiser selected by the Notifying Party
shall be deemed selected by both parties and no other appraiser
shall be selected. If two (2) appraisers are selected, they shall
select a third appropriately qualified appraiser. If the two (2)
appraisers fail to select a third qualified appraiser, the third
appraiser shall be appointed by the then presiding judge of the
county where the Premises are located upon application by either
party.
(ii) If only one appraiser is
selected, that appraiser shall notify the parties in simple letter
form of its determination of the Fair Market Rent for the Premises
within fifteen (15) days following his or her selection, which
appraisal shall be conclusively determinative and binding on the
parties as the appraised Fair Market Rent.
(iii) If multiple appraisers are
selected, the appraisers shall meet not later than ten (10) days
following the selection of the last appraiser. At such meeting, the
appraisers shall attempt to determine the Fair Market Rent for the
Premises as of the commencement date of the Extended Term by the
agreement of at least two (2) of the appraisers.
(iv) If two (2) or more of the
appraisers agree on the Fair Market Rent for the Premises at the
initial meeting, such agreement shall be determinative and binding
upon the parties hereto and the agreeing appraisers shall forthwith
notify both Landlord and Tenant of the amount set by such
agreement. If multiple appraisers are selected and two (2)
appraisers are unable to agree on the Fair Market Rent for the
Premises, each appraiser shall submit to Landlord and Tenant his or
her respective independent appraisal of the Fair Market Rent for
the Premises, in simple letter form, within twenty (20) days
following appointment of the final appraiser. The parties shall
then determine the Fair Market Rent for the Premises by averaging
the appraisals; provided that any high or low appraisal, differing
from the middle appraisal by more than ten percent (10%) of the
middle appraisal, shall be disregarded in calculating the
average.
(v) If only one (1) appraiser is
selected, then each party shall pay one-half (1/2) of the fees and
expenses of that appraiser. If three (3) appraisers are selected,
each party shall bear the fees and expenses of the appraiser it
selects and one-half (1/2) of the fees and expenses of the third
appraiser.
(vi) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Section 3.2, in no event shall the Base
Rent for the Extended Term be less than the Base Rent plus
Escalation Rent immediately preceding the Extended Term.
-14-
3.2.5. Amendment to Lease .
Immediately after the Fair Market Rent has been determined, the
parties shall enter into an amendment to this Lease setting forth
the Base Rent for the Extended Term and the new Expiration Date of
the Term of the Lease.
4. Rent .
4.1. Obligation to Pay Base
Rent . Tenant shall pay Base Rent to Landlord with respect to
the Third Floor Portion, the Fourth Floor Portion and the Storage
Space, in advance, in equal monthly installments, commencing on or
before the Initial Commencement Date, and thereafter on or before
the first day of each calendar month during the Term until the
Commencement Date. Commencing on the Commencement Date, Tenant
shall pay Base Rent to Landlord, in advance, in equal monthly
installments for the entire Premises, and thereafter on or before
the first day of each calendar month during the Term. If the
Initial Commencement Date, Commencement Date and/or Expiration Date
is other than the first day of a calendar month, the installment of
Base Rent for the applicable fractional month of the Term shall be
prorated on a daily basis. On the Initial Commencement Date, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord the first month’s Base Rent with
respect to the Third Floor Portion, the Fourth Floor Portion and
the Storage Space.
4.2. Manner of Rent Payment .
All Rent shall be paid by Tenant without notice, demand, abatement,
deduction or offset, in lawful money of the United States of
America, payable to Landlord, at Landlord’s Address as set
forth in the Basic Lease Information, or to such other person or at
such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate by
notice to Tenant.
4.3. Additional Rent . All
Rent not characterized as Base Rent or Escalation Rent shall
constitute additional rent, and if payable to Landlord shall,
unless otherwise specified in this Lease, be due and payable
fifteen (15) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s
invoice therefor.
4.4. Late Payment of Rent;
Interest . Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant of
any Rent will cause Landlord to incur administrative costs not
contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which are extremely
difficult and impracticable to ascertain based on the facts and
circumstances pertaining as of the Lease Date. Accordingly, if any
Rent is not paid by Tenant when due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord,
with such Rent, a late charge equal to three percent (3%) of such
Rent; provided, however, that the following additional provisions
shall apply to such late charge: (i) the first two late payments in
any calendar year shall not result in any late charge payment
unless such payment of Rent is not received within one (1) business
day after telephonic notice by Landlord to each of Tenant’s
Controller and Chief Financial Officer (or any person succeeding
such person for whom notice has been provided to Landlord), and
(ii) if there are more than three (3) late payments of Rent by
Tenant in any calendar year, then the late charge for each
subsequent late payment in such calendar year shall be five percent
(5%). Any Rent, other than late charges, due Landlord under this
Lease, if not paid when due, shall also bear interest from the date
due until paid, at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum or, if a
higher rate is legally permissible, at the highest rate legally
permitted. The parties acknowledge that such late charge and
interest represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the
administrative costs and loss of use of funds Landlord will incur
by reason of a late Rent payment by Tenant, but Landlord’s
acceptance of such late charge and/or interest shall not constitute
a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such Rent or
prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights and remedies
provided under this Lease, at law or in equity.
-15-
5. Calculation and Payments of
Escalation Rent . During each full or partial calendar year of
the Term subsequent to the Base Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord
Escalation Rent in accordance with the following
procedures:
5.1. Payment of Estimated
Escalation Rent . During December of the Base Year and December
of each subsequent calendar year, or as soon thereafter as
practicable (and Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to provide
such information on or before March 1 of each subsequent calendar
year), Landlord shall give Tenant notice of its estimate of
Escalation Rent due for the next ensuing calendar year. On or
before the first day of each month during such next ensuing
calendar year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord in advance, in addition
to Base Rent, one-twelfth (1/12th) of such estimated Escalation
Rent. In the event such notice is given after December 31st of any
year during the Term, (i) Tenant shall continue to pay Escalation
Rent on the basis of the prior calendar year’s estimate until
the month after such notice is given, (ii) subsequent payments by
Tenant shall be based of the estimate of Escalation Rent set forth
in Landlord’s notice, and (iii) with the first monthly
payment of Escalation Rent based on the estimate set forth in
Landlord’s notice, Tenant shall also pay the difference, if
any, between the amount previously paid for such calendar year and
the amount which Tenant would have paid through the month in which
such notice is given, based on Landlord’s noticed estimate
or, in the alternative, if such amount previously paid by Tenant
for such calendar year through the month in which such notice is
given exceeds the amount which Tenant would have paid through such
month based on Landlord’s noticed estimate, Landlord shall
credit such excess amount against the next monthly payments of
Escalation Rent due from Tenant. If at any time Landlord reasonably
determines that the Escalation Rent for the current calendar year
will vary from Landlord’s estimate by more than five percent
(5%), Landlord may, by notice to Tenant, revise its estimate for
such calendar year, and subsequent payments by Tenant for such
calendar year shall be based upon such revised estimate.
5.2. Escalation Rent Statement
and Adjustment . Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the
close of each calendar year, or as soon thereafter as practicable,
Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement of (i) the calculation
of the Base Operating Expenses and the Base Real Estate Taxes with
respect only to the initial calendar year following the Base Year
and (ii) the actual Escalation Rent for such calendar year,
accompanied by a statement prepared by Landlord showing in
reasonable detail the Operating Expenses and the Real Estate Taxes
comprising the actual Escalation Rent. If Landlord’s
statement shows that Tenant owes an amount less than the payments
previously made by Tenant for such calendar year, Landlord shall
credit the difference first against any sums then owed by Tenant to
Landlord and then against the next payment or payments of Rent due
Landlord, except that if a credit amount is due Tenant after
termination of this Lease, Landlord shall pay to Tenant any excess
remaining after Landlord credits such amount against any sums owed
by Tenant to Landlord. If Landlord’s statement shows that
Tenant owes an amount more than the payments previously made by
Tenant for such calendar year, Tenant shall pay the difference to
Landlord within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the statement.
Tenant shall have the right to inspect Landlord’s books and
records relating to the calculation of Base Operating Expenses and
Base Real Estate Taxes and/or Operating Expenses and Real Estate
Taxes, subject to the following limitations: (i) such inspection
shall be conducted no more than one time per calendar year, (ii)
such inspection shall be conducted within two (2) years after
Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s statement of Base
Operating Expenses and Base Real Estate Taxes and Operating
Expenses and Real Estate Taxes; (iii) subject to the following,
such inspection may not be conducted by a person or entity whose
compensation is in any way calculated based on the results of such
audit; provided, however, that if such inspection is conducted by
such person or entity, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand
all of Landlord’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in
connection with such inspection; and (iv) such information shall be
kept in the strictest confidence by Tenant and any other person or
entity performing such inspection. If Tenant in good faith disputes
the accuracy of any statement on the
-16-
basis of any such inspection, such
dispute must be alleged in reasonable detail in a written notice to
Landlord within ninety (90) days following Tenant’s
completion of such inspection. If actual Operating Expenses or Real
Estate Taxes are ultimately determined to have been overstated by
Landlord for any calendar year, then Landlord shall within thirty
(30) days thereafter refund to Tenant the applicable overpayment of
Escalation Rent.
5.3. Proration for Partial
Year . If this Lease terminates other than on the last day of a
calendar year (other than due to Tenant’s default), the
amount of Escalation Rent for such fractional calendar year shall
be prorated on a daily basis. Upon such termination, Landlord may,
at its option, calculate the adjustment in Escalation Rent prior to
the time specified in Section 5.2 above. Tenant’s
obligation to pay Escalation Rent, as set forth in Paragraph 5.2,
above, shall survive the expiration or termination of this
Lease.
6. Impositions Payable by
Tenant . Tenant shall pay all Impositions prior to delinquency.
If billed directly to Tenant, then, subject to Tenant’s right
to contest such Impositions (upon the posting of a bond or other
security reasonably satisfactory to Landlord), Tenant shall pay
such Impositions and concurrently deliver to Landlord evidence of
such payments. If any Impositions are billed to Landlord or
included in bills to Landlord for Real Estate Taxes or other
charges, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord all such amounts within
fifteen (15) days after delivery of Landlord’s invoice
therefor. If applicable law prohibits Tenant from reimbursing
Landlord for an Imposition, but Landlord may lawfully increase the
Base Rent to account for Landlord’s payment of such
Imposition, the Base Rent payable to Landlord shall be increased to
net to Landlord the same return without reimbursement of such
Imposition as would have been received by Landlord with
reimbursement of such Imposition. Tenant’s obligation to pay
Impositions which have accrued and remain unpaid upon the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
7. Use of Premises
.
7.1. Permitted Use . The
Premises shall be used solely for the Permitted Use and for no
other use or purpose.
7.2. No Violation of Legal and
Insurance Requirements . Tenant shall not do or permit to be
done, or bring or keep or permit to be brought or kept, in or about
the Premises, or any other portion of the Building, anything which
(i) is prohibited by or will in any way conflict with any law,
ordinance, rule or regulation; (ii) would invalidate or be in
conflict with the provisions of any insurance policy carried by
Landlord or Tenant on any portion of the Building or Premises, or
any property therein; or (iii) would cause a cancellation of any
such insurance, increase the existing rate of or affect any such
Landlord’s insurance, or subject Landlord to any liability or
responsibility for injury to any person or property. If Tenant does
or permits anything to be done which increases the cost of any of
Landlord’s insurance, or which results in the need, in
Landlord’s reasonable judgment, for additional insurance by
Landlord or Tenant with respect to any portion of the Building or
Premises, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, upon demand, for
any such additional costs or the costs of such additional
insurance, and/or procure such additional insurance at
Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Exercise by Landlord of such
right to require reimbursement of additional costs (including the
costs of procuring of additional insurance) shall not limit or
preclude Landlord from prohibiting Tenant’s impermissible use
of the Premises or from invoking any other right or remedy
available to Landlord under this Lease.
7.3. Compliance with Legal,
Insurance and Life Safety Requirements . Except as provided in
clauses (i) through (iii) below, Tenant, at its cost and expense,
shall promptly comply with all laws, ordinances, rules,
regulations, orders and other governmental requirements, the
requirements of any board
-17-
of fire underwriters or other
similar body, any directive or occupancy certificate issued
pursuant to any law by any public officer or officers which is
delivered to Tenant by Landlord, the provisions of all recorded
documents affecting any portion of the Building which is delivered
to Tenant by Landlord and all life safety programs, procedures and
rules implemented or promulgated by Landlord (“Laws”).
Tenant shall not, however, be required to comply with Laws
requiring Tenant to make structural changes to the Premises unless
necessitated, in whole or in part, by (i) Tenant’s special
use or occupancy of, or business conducted in, the Premises, (ii)
any acts or omissions of Tenant, its employees, agents,
contractors, invitees or licensees, or (iii) Alterations (including
any alterations, additions or other improvements to the Premises
made by or on behalf of Tenant during the initial improvement of
the Premises pursuant to the Work Letter, but excluding any
structural changes which are part of Landlord’s Work under
the Work Letter.)
7.4. No Nuisance . Tenant
shall not (i) do or permit anything to be done in or about the
Premises, or any other portion of the Building, which would injure,
or obstruct or interfere with the rights of, Landlord or other
occupants of the Building, or others lawfully in or about the
Building; (ii) use or allow the Premises to be used in any manner
inappropriate for a Class A office building, or for any improper or
objectionable purposes; or (iii) cause, maintain or permit any
nuisance or waste in, on or about the Premises, or any other
portion of the Building.
7.5 Hazardous Substances .
The term “hazardous substances” as used in the Lease,
is defined as follows:
Any element, compound, mixture,
solution, particle or substance, which presents danger or potential
danger of damage or injury to health, welfare or to the environment
including, but not limited to: (i) those substances which are
inherently or potentially radioactive, explosive, ignitable,
corrosive, reactive, carcinogenic or toxic and (ii) those
substances which have been recognized as dangerous or potentially
dangerous to health, welfare or to the environment by any federal,
municipal, state, county or other governmental or
quasi-governmental authority and/or any department or agency
thereof.
Tenant represents and warrants to
Landlord and agrees that at all times during the term of this Lease
and any extensions or renewals thereof, Tenant shall:
(i) promptly comply at
Tenant’s sole cost and expense, with all laws, orders, rules,
regulations, certificates of occupancy, or other requirements, as
the same now exist or may hereafter be enacted, amended or
promulgated, of any federal, municipal, state, county or other
governmental or quasi-governmental authorities and/or any
department or agency thereof relating to the manufacturing,
processing, distributing, using, producing, treating, storing
(above or below ground level), disposing or allowing to be present
(the “Environmental Activity”) of hazardous substances
in or about the Premises (each, an “Environmental Law”,
and all of them, “Environmental Laws”), to the extent
Tenant is responsible for the presence of such hazardous
substances.
(ii) indemnify and hold Landlord,
its agents and employees, harmless from any and all demands,
claims, causes of action, penalties, liabilities, judgments,
damages (including consequential damages) and expenses including,
without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’
fees incurred by Landlord as a result of (a) Tenant’s failure
or delay in properly complying with any Environmental Law as
required by item (i) above, or (b) any adverse effect which results
from the Environmental Activity, whether Tenant or Tenant’s
subtenants or any of their respective agents, employees,
contractors or invitees, with or without Tenant’s consent has
caused, either intentionally or unintentionally, such Environmental
Activity. If any action or proceeding is brought against
-18-
Landlord, its agents or employees by
reason of any such claim, Tenant, upon notice from Landlord, will
defend such claim at Tenant’s expense with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord. This indemnity obligation by Tenant of
Landlord will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease.
(iii) promptly disclose to Landlord
by delivering, in the manner prescribed for delivery of notice in
this Lease, a copy of any forms, submissions, notices, reports, or
other written documentation (each, a “Communication”)
relating to any Environmental Activity, whether any such
Communication is delivered to Tenant or any of its subtenants or is
requested of Tenant or any of its subtenants by any federal,
municipal, state, county or other government or quasi-governmental
authority and/or any department or agency thereof.
(iv) in the event there is a release
of any hazardous substance as a result of or in connection with any
Environmental Activity by Tenant or any of Tenant’s
subtenants or any of their respective agents, employees,
contractors or invitees, which must be remediated under any
Environmental Law, Landlord shall perform the necessary
remediation; and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs
thereby incurred within fifteen (15) days after delivery of a
written demand therefor from Landlord (which shall be accompanied
by reasonable substantiation of such costs). In the alternative,
Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant, at its sole cost
and expense, to perform the necessary remediation in accordance
with a detailed plan of remediation which shall have been approved
in advance in writing by Landlord. Landlord shall give notice to
Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlord receives notice or
obtains knowledge of the required remediation. The rights and
obligations of Landlord and Tenant set forth in this subparagraph
(iv) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease.
(v) notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Lease, allow Landlord, and any authorized
representative of Landlord, access and the right to enter and
inspect the Premises for Environmental Activity, at any time deemed
reasonable by Landlord, without prior notice to Tenant.
Compliance by Tenant with any provision of this
Section 7.5 shall not be deemed a waiver of any other
provision of this Lease. Without limiting the foregoing,
Landlord’s consent to any Environmental Activity shall not
relieve Tenant of its indemnity obligations under the terms
hereof.
Landlord represents and warrants to
Tenant that as of the date of this Lease Landlord has no actual
knowledge of the presence of any hazardous substance in the
Building in violation of any applicable Environmental Law, rules or
ordinances, except as described in the Phase I and Phase II
hazardous materials reports prepared by Geomatrix and delivered by
Landlord to Tenant before the execution of this Lease. Landlord
shall promptly disclose to Tenant by delivering, in the manner
prescribed for delivery of notice in this Lease, a copy of any
material Communication relating to any Environmental Activity from
any federal, municipal, state, county or other government or
quasi-governmental authority and/or any department or agency
thereof to the extent such notice is required by Environmental
Laws. Landlord shall comply with all Environmental Laws applicable
to the Building to the extent such compliance is required of
Landlord as owner of the Building.
7.6. Special Provisions Relating
to The Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 .
7.6.1. Allocation of
Responsibility to Landlord . Subject to the provisions of the
second sentence of Section 10.2 of this Lease, as between
Landlord and Tenant, Landlord shall be responsible that the public
entrances, stairways, corridors, restrooms, elevators and elevator
lobbies and other public areas
-19-
in the Building comply with the
requirements of Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of
1990 (42 U.S.C. 12181, et seq., The Provisions Governing Public
Accommodations and Services Operated by Private Entities), and all
regulations promulgated thereunder, and all amendments, revisions
or modifications thereto now or hereafter adopted or in effect in
connection therewith (hereinafter collectively referred to as the
“ADA”), and to take such actions and make such
alterations and improvements as are necessary for such compliance.
As of the Commencement Date, Landlord shall cause such portions of
the Building to so comply with ADA, as interpreted by the local
building officials. All costs incurred by Landlord in discharging
its responsibilities under this Section 7.6.1 shall be
included in Operating Expenses as provided in Section 1.1 ,
except to the extent such costs relate to violations of ADA laws
which occurred before the Commencement Date.
7.6.2. Allocation of
Responsibility to Tenant . As between Landlord and Tenant,
Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall be responsible that the
Premises (other than the restrooms constructed by Landlord in the
Premises), all Alterations to the Premises, Tenant’s use and
occupancy of the Premises, and Tenant’s performance of its
obligations under this Lease, comply with the requirements of the
ADA, and to take such actions and make such Alterations as are
necessary for such compliance; provided, however, that Tenant shall
not make any such Alterations except upon Landlord’s prior
written consent pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Lease;
provided further, however, that Landlord shall be responsible for
compliance with the requirements of the ADA with respect to the
initial construction of an elevator and stairways in the First
Floor Portion of the Premises as part of Landlord’s Work.
Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless
from and against any claim, demand, cause of action, obligation,
liability, loss, cost or expense (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees) which may be asserted against or incurred by
Landlord as a result of Tenant’s failure in any respect to
comply with its obligations set forth in this Section 7.6.2
. Tenant’s indemnity obligations set forth in the immediately
preceding sentence shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease.
7.6.3. General .
Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, no act or
omission of Landlord, including any approval, consent or acceptance
by Landlord or Landlord’s agents, employees or other
representatives, shall be deemed an agreement, acknowledgment,
warranty, or other representation by Landlord that Tenant has
complied with the ADA or that any action, alteration or improvement
by Tenant complies or will comply with the ADA or constitutes a
waiver by Landlord of Tenant’s obligations to comply with the
ADA under this Lease or otherwise. Any failure of Landlord to
comply with the obligations of the ADA shall not relieve Tenant
from any obligations under this Lease or constitute or be construed
as a constructive or other eviction of Tenant or disturbance of
Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises.
8. Building Services
.
8.1. Maintenance of Building
. Landlord shall maintain the Building (other than the Premises and
the premises of other tenants of the Building) in good order and
condition, except for ordinary wear and tear, damage by casualty or
condemnation, or damage occasioned by the act or omission of Tenant
or Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors, licensees or
invitees, which damage shall be repaired by Landlord at
Tenant’s expense. Landlord’s maintenance of, and
provision of services to, the Building shall be performed in a
manner consistent with that of comparable Class A office buildings

with or impair Tenant’s access to or use or occupancy of the
Premises. Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease or
liable for any damages directly or indirectly resulting from or
incidental to, nor shall the rental reserved in this Lease be
abated by reason of, Landlord’s failure to make any repair or
to perform any maintenance required to be made or performed by
Landlord under this Section 8.1 , unless such failure shall
persist for an unreasonable time after written notice of the need
for such repair or maintenance is given to Landlord by Tenant;
provided, however, that Landlord shall be liable to Tenant for
actual, out of pocket, costs or expenses incurred by Tenant as a
direct result of Landlord’s failure to cause the ground floor
lobby, shared lobbies on Floors occupied by Tenant or elevators of
the Building to comply with laws which are immediately applicable
to, and enforceable against, the Building (subject to
Landlord’s reasonable right of contest of such
laws).

the Premises used for preparing or consuming food or beverages
(such janitorial services to include the services described on
Exhibit F attached to this Lease); (x) security if and to
the extent deemed appropriate by Landlord for the Building (but not
less than as set forth on Exhibit F-2 attached to this
Lease) (but not individually for Tenant or the
Premises - provided that Tenant shall have the right to
install its own security service in the Premises), except that
Landlord shall not be liable in any manner for acts of others,
criminal or otherwise, or for any direct, consequential or other
loss, damage, death or injury related to any interruption,
discontinuance, malfunction, circumvention or failure of such
security service and (xi) access to the Building 24 hours/day seven
days/week. Landlord may establish in the Premises or other portions

rules or regulations or as it deems necessary or appropriate to
conserve energy, including automatic switching of lights and/or
more efficient forms of lighting. Security personnel shall be
on-duty, on-site 24 hours/day seven days/week during the Term. The

constructive or other eviction shall be construed to have occurred,
Tenant shall not be relieved from any of its obligations under this
Lease, and Landlord shall not be in default hereunder or liable for
any damages directly or indirectly resulting from, the failure of
Landlord to furnish, or delay in furnishing, any maintenance or
services under this Article 8 as a result of repairs,
alterations, improvements or any circumstances beyond
Landlord’s reasonable control. Landlord shall use reasonable
diligence to remedy any failure or interruption in the furnishing
of such maintenance or services. Notwithstanding anything set forth
in this Lease to the contrary, if such interruption or
unavailability of services continues for more than thirty (30)
consecutive days and such interruption or unavailability prevents
Tenant from using the Premises, then commencing upon the expiration
of such thirty (30) day period, Rent shall abate until beneficial
use of the Premises is restored.
-21-
8.4. Tenant’s Use of Excess
Electricity and Water . Tenant shall not, without
Landlord’s prior consent, given or withheld in
Landlord’s sole discretion, (i) install in the Premises (A)
lighting, the aggregate average daily power usage of which exceeds
the Lighting Wattage Allowance, or lighting and equipment, the
aggregate average daily power usage of which exceeds the Wattage
Allowance, or which requires a voltage other than 110/208 volts
single-phase, (B) heat generating equipment or lighting other than
lights deemed standard for the Building, or (C) supplementary air
conditioning facilities, or (ii) permit average permanent occupancy
levels in excess of one person per two hundred (200) feet of
Rentable Area. If, pursuant to this Section 8.4 ,
heat-generating equipment or lighting other than Building standard
lights are installed or used in the Premises, or occupancy levels
are greater than set forth above, or if the Premises or fixtures
therein are reconfigured by Alterations, and such equipment,
lighting, occupancy levels or Premises reconfiguration affects the
temperature otherwise maintained by the Building air conditioning
system, or if equipment is installed in the Premises which requires
a separate temperature-controlled room, Landlord may, at
Landlord’s election after notice to Tenant or upon
Tenant’s request, install supplementary air conditioning
facilities in the Premises, or otherwise modify the ventilating and
air conditioning serving the Premises, in order to maintain the
temperature otherwise maintained by the Building air conditioning
system or to serve such separate temperature-controlled room.
Tenant shall pay the cost of any transformers, additional risers,
panel boards and other facilities if, when and to the extent
required to furnish power for, and all maintenance and service
costs of, any supplementary air conditioning facilities or modified
ventilating and air conditioning, or for lighting and/or equipment
the power usage of which exceeds the standards set forth in this
Section 8.4 . Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord
acknowledges that Tenant intends to construct a
temperature-controlled computer equipment room in the Premises
which will require supplementary air conditioning facilities and
Landlord will permit Tenant to install such facilities subject to
Landlord’s approval of the plans therefor. The capital,
maintenance and service costs of such facilities and modifications
shall be paid by Tenant as Rent. Landlord, at its election and at
Tenant’s expense, may also install and maintain an electric
current meter or water meter (together with all necessary wiring
and related equipment) at the Premises to measure the power and/or
water usage of such lighting, equipment or ventilation and air
conditioning equipment, or may otherwise cause such usage to be
measured by reasonable methods.
8.5. Provision of Additional
Services . If Tenant desires services in additional amounts or
at different times than set forth in Section 8.2 above, or
any other services that are not provided for in this Lease, Tenant
shall make a request for such services to Landlord with such
advance notice as Landlord may reasonably require. If Landlord
provides such services to Tenant, Tenant shall pay Landlord’s
charges for such services within fifteen (15) days after
Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s invoice; provided,
however, that Landlord hereby agrees that upon Tenant’s
written request Landlord shall provide HVAC service to the Premises
24 hours per day during the Term so long as Tenant pays
Landlord’s actual costs for such services, plus an
administrative fee not to exceed 15% of the cost of such services,
which costs may be based on a reasonable allocation of
Landlord’s actual costs.
9. Maintenance of Premises .
Tenant shall, at all times during the Term, at Tenant’s cost
and expense, keep the Premises in good condition and repair, except
for ordinary wear and tear and damage by casualty or condemnation.
Except as may be specifically set forth in this Lease (including
the Work Letter), Landlord has no obligation to alter, remodel,
improve, repair, decorate or paint the Premises, or any part
thereof, or any obligation respecting the condition, maintenance
and repair of the Premises or any other portion of the Building.
Tenant hereby waives all rights, including those provided in
California Civil Code Section 1941 or any successor statute, to
make repairs which are Landlord’s obligation under this Lease
at the expense of Landlord or to receive any setoff or abatement of
Rent or in lieu thereof to vacate the Premises or terminate this
Lease.
-22-
10. Alterations to Premises
.
10.1. Landlord Consent;
Procedure . Tenant shall not make or permit to be made any
Alterations without Landlord’s prior consent, which consent
may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s reasonable
discretion; no consent shall be required for non-structural
Alterations to any single floor within the Premises which do not
require a building permit and which, in the aggregate, cost less
than $50,000.00 to construct. Any Alterations to which Landlord has
consented shall be made in accordance with procedures as then
established by Landlord and the provisions of this Article
10 . Tenant shall provide Landlord with written notice of the
commencement of all Alterations, within five (5) days before the
commencement of such Alterations.
10.2. General Requirements .
All Alterations shall be made at Tenant’s cost and expense.
Tenant shall be solely responsible for compliance with applicable
laws, ordinances, rules and regulations in connection with all
Alterations. Without limiting the foregoing or any other provisions
of this Lease, if any applicable law, ordinance, rule or regulation
provides that any Alteration by Tenant will result in the
requirement of the performance of any other work, repair, capital
improvement or other expenditure with respect to any portion of the
Building (including in the premises of other tenants), then Tenant
shall be solely responsible, at Tenant’s sole cost and
expense, to perform such work, repair or capital improvement, or to
pay such expenditure. Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of
any additional alterations required by applicable laws, ordinances,
rules and regulations to be made by Landlord to any portion of the
Building as a result of Alterations. Tenant shall promptly commence
or cause the commencement of construction of all Alterations and
complete or cause completion of the same with due diligence as soon
as possible after commencement in order to cause the least
disruption to Building operations and occupants and to continue
Tenant’s business in the Premises. In connection with
installing or removing Alterations, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on
demand Landlord’s reasonable actual costs incurred in
connection with the administration by Landlord (or its agent) of
the construction, installation or removal of Alterations, and
restoration of the Premises to their previous condition.
10.3. Removal of Alterations
. If Landlord has not consented to an Alteration (for which such
consent is required), Tenant shall, prior to the expiration of the
Term or termination of this Lease, remove such Alteration and
Tenant’s trade fixtures and personal property at
Tenant’s cost and expense and restore the Premises to the
condition existing prior to the installation of such Alteration.
Tenant shall have no obligation to remove the Tenant’s Work.
If Tenant fails so to do, then Landlord may remove such Alteration,
trade fixtures and personal property and perform such restoration
and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s cost and
expense incurred to perform such removal and restoration (which
obligation of Tenant shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease). Tenant shall repair at its cost and
expense all damage to the Premises or the Building caused by the
removal of any Alteration. Subject to the foregoing provisions
regarding removal, all Alterations (including any above Building
standard improvements to the Premises) shall be Landlord’s
property and from and after the expiration or earlier termination
of this Lease shall remain on the Premises without compensation to
Tenant; Tenant’s trade fixtures and personal property shall
remain Tenant’s property, subject to applicable California
laws regarding abandoned property.
11. Liens . Tenant shall keep
the Premises and the Building free from any liens arising out of
any work performed or obligations incurred by or for, or materials
furnished to, Tenant pursuant to this Lease or otherwise. Landlord
shall have the right to post and keep posted on the Premises any
notices required by law or which Landlord may deem to be proper for
the protection of Landlord, the Premises and the Building from such
liens and to take any other action at the expense of Tenant that
Landlord deems necessary or appropriate to prevent, remove or
discharge such liens. Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and
hold Landlord harmless from and against any claim, demand, cause of
action, obligation, liability, loss, cost or expense
-23-
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees)
which may be asserted against or incurred by Landlord as a result
of Tenant’s failure to comply with the foregoing obligation
(which indemnity obligation shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease).
12. Damage or Destruction
.
12.1. Obligation to Repair .
Except as otherwise provided in this Article 12 , if the
Premises, or any other portion of the Building necessary for
Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises, are damaged or
destroyed by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall, within thirty
(30) days after such event, notify Tenant of the estimated time, in
Landlord’s reasonable judgment, required to repair such
damage or destruction. If Landlord’s estimate of time is less
than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date that Landlord
obtains the required building permits for the repair of such damage
or destruction, then (i) Landlord shall proceed with all due
diligence to repair the Premises, and/or the portion of the
Building necessary for Tenant’s use and occupancy of the
Premises, to substantially the condition existing immediately
before such damage or destruction, as permitted by and subject to
then applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations; (ii) this
Lease shall remain in full force and effect; and (iii) Base Rent
and Escalation Rent shall abate for such part of the Premises
rendered unusable by Tenant, in Tenant’s reasonable, good
faith judgment, in the conduct of its business during the time such
part is so unusable, in the proportion that the Rentable Area
contained in the unusable part of the Premises bears to the total
Rentable Area of the Premises.
12.2. Landlord’s
Election . If Landlord determines that the necessary repairs
cannot be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the
date that Landlord obtains the required building permits for the
repair of such damage or destruction, or if such damage or
destruction arises from causes not covered by Landlord’s
insurance policy then in force, and would cost in the aggregate
more than $2,000,000 to repair, Landlord may elect, in its notice
to Tenant pursuant to Section 12.1 , to (i) terminate this
Lease or (ii) repair the Premises or the portion of the Building
necessary for Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises
pursuant to the applicable provisions of Section 12.1 above.
If Landlord terminates this Lease, then this Lease shall terminate
as of the date of occurrence of the damage or
destruction.
12.3. Cost of Repairs .
Landlord shall pay the cost for repair of the Building and all
improvements in the Premises, other than any Alterations. Tenant
shall pay the costs to repair all Alterations (but Landlord shall
make available to Tenant for such purpose any insurance proceeds
received by Landlord for such purpose under Landlord’s
insurance policy then in force). Tenant shall also replace or
repair, at Tenant’s cost and expense, Tenant’s movable
furniture, equipment, trade fixtures and other personal property in
the Premises which Tenant shall be responsible for insuring during
the Term of this Lease.
12.4. Damage at End of Term .
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Article 1 2, unless Tenant shall have extended the Term in
accordance with Section 3.2 hereof, if the Premises, or any other
portion thereof or of the Building, are materially damaged or
destroyed by fire or other casualty within the last twelve (12)
months of the Term, then Landlord shall have the right, in its sole
discretion, to terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant given
within ninety (90) days after the date of such event. Such
termination shall be effective on the date specified in
Landlord’s notice, but in no event later than the end of such
90-day period. For purposes hereof, the Premises or other portion
of the Building shall be deemed to be materially damaged if such
damage costs more than $2,000,000 to repair. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if Landlord seeks to terminate the Lease in
circumstances where the Premises were not affected by any such
damage or destruction, Landlord may do so only if Landlord is
terminating all other office leases in the Building on account
thereof.
-24-
12.5. Tenant’s Right to
Terminate . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Article 12 , if the Premises are materially damaged
or destroyed by fire or other casualty and the date by which
Landlord determines that the necessary repairs could be completed
would occur in the last twelve (12) months of the Term, then Tenant
shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate this
Lease by notice to Landlord given within ninety (90) days after the
date of such casualty. Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days
after such casualty, notify Tenant of the estimated time, in
Landlord’s reasonable judgment, required to repair such
damage or destruction. Such termination shall be effective on the
date specified in Tenant’s notice, but in no event later than
the end of such 90-day period.
12.6. Waiver of Statutes .
The respective rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant in the
event of any damage to or destruction of the Premises, or any other
portion of the Building, are governed exclusively by this Lease.
Accordingly, Tenant hereby waives the provisions of any law to the
contrary, including California Civil Code Sections 1932(2) and
1933(4) providing for the termination of a lease upon destruction
of the leased property.
13. Eminent Domain
.
13.1. Effect of Taking .
Except as otherwise provided in this Article 13 , if all or
any part of the Premises is taken as a result of the exercise of
the power of eminent domain or condemned for any public or
quasi-public purpose, or if any transfer is made in avoidance of
such exercise of the power of eminent domain (collectively,
“taken” or a “taking”), this Lease shall
terminate as to the part of the Premises so taken as of the
effective date of such taking. On a taking of a portion of the
Premises, Landlord and Tenant shall each have the right to
terminate this Lease by notice to the other given within thirty
(30) days after the effective date of such taking, if the portion
of the Premises taken is of such extent and nature so as to
materially impair Tenant’s business use of the balance of the
Premises, as reasonably determined by the party giving such notice.
Such termination shall be operative as of the effective date of the
taking. Landlord may also terminate this Lease on a taking of any
other portion of the Building if Landlord reasonably determines
that such taking is of such extent and nature as to render the
operation of the remaining Building economically infeasible or to
require a substantial alteration or reconstruction of such
remaining portion. Landlord shall elect such termination by notice
to Tenant given within thirty (30) days after the effective date of
such taking, and such termination shall be operative as of the
effective date of such taking. Upon a taking of the Premises which
does not result in a termination of this Lease, the Base Rent shall
thereafter be reduced as of the effective date of such taking in
the proportion that the Rentable Area of the Premises so taken
bears to the total Rentable Area of the Premises.
13.2. Condemnation Proceeds .
Except as hereinafter provided, in the event of any taking,
Landlord shall have the right to all compensation, damages, income,
rent or awards made with respect thereto (collectively an
“award”), including any award for the value of the
leasehold estate created by this Lease. No award to Landlord shall
be apportioned and, subject to Tenant’s rights hereinafter
specified, Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any right of Tenant in
any award made for any taking. So long as such claim will not
reduce any award otherwise payable to Landlord under this
Section 13.2 , Tenant may seek to recover, at its cost and
expense, as a separate claim, any damages or awards payable on a
taking of the Premises to compensate for the unamortized cost paid
by Tenant for the alterations, additions or improvements, if any,
made by or on behalf of Tenant during the initial improvement of
the Premises pursuant to the Work Letter and for any Alterations,
or for Tenant’s personal property taken, or for interference
with or interruption of Tenant’s business (including
goodwill), or for Tenant’s removal and relocation
expenses.
13.3. Restoration of Premises
. On a taking of the Premises which does not result in a
termination of this Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall restore the
Premises as nearly as possible to the
-25-
condition they were in prior to the
taking in accordance with the applicable provisions and allocation
of responsibility for repair and restoration of the Premises on
damage or destruction pursuant to Article 12 above, and both
parties shall use any awards received by such party attributable to
the Premises for such purpose.
13.4. Tenant Waiver . The
rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant on any taking of the
Premises or any other material portion of the Building are governed
exclusively by this Lease. Accordingly, Tenant hereby waives the
provisions of any law to the contrary, including California Code of
Civil Procedure Sections 1265.120 and 1265.130, or any similar
successor statute.
14. Insurance .
14.1. Liability Insurance .
Landlord, with respect to the Building, and Tenant, at its cost and
expense with respect to the Premises, shall each maintain or cause
to be maintained, from the Lease Date and throughout the Term, a
policy or policies of Commercial General Liability insurance with
limits of liability not less than Five Million Dollars
($5,000,000.00) per occurrence and in the aggregate. Each policy
shall contain coverage for blanket contractual liability, personal
injury liability, and premises operations, and, as to
Tenant’s insurance, fire legal liability. Tenant’s
policy shall be subject to deductible amounts as Tenant may
reasonably elect based on prudent risk management practices for
business comparable to Tenant’s business and for
Tenant’s financial condition.
14.2. Form of Policies . All
insurance required by this Article 14 shall be issued on an
occurrence basis by solvent companies qualified to do business in
the State of California. Any insurance required under this
Article 14 may be maintained under a “blanket
policy”, insuring other parties and other locations, so long
as the amount and coverage required to be provided hereunder is not
thereby diminished. Tenant shall provide Landlord a copy of each
policy of insurance or a certificate thereof certifying that the
policies contain the provisions required hereunder. Tenant shall
deliver such policies or certificates to Landlord within ten (10)
business days prior to the Possession Date or such earlier date as
Tenant or Tenant’s contractors, agents, licensees, invitees
or employees first enter the Premises and, upon renewal, not less
than five (5) business days prior to the expiration of such
coverage. All evidence of insurance provided to Landlord shall
provide (i) that Landlord, Landlord’s managing agent and any
other person requested by Landlord who has an insurable interest,
is designated as an additional insured without limitation as to
coverage afforded under such policy; (ii) for severability of
interests or that the acts or omissions of one of the insureds or
additional insureds shall not reduce or affect coverage available
to any other insured or additional insured; (iii) that the insurer
agrees not to cancel or alter the policy without at least thirty
(30) days prior written notice to all additional insureds; (iv)
that the aggregate liability applies solely to the Premises and the
remainder of the Building; and (v) that Tenant’s insurance is
primary and noncontributing with any insurance carried by
Landlord.
14.3. Workers’ Compensation
Insurance . Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall
maintain Workers’ Compensation insurance as required by law
and employer’s liability insurance in an amount of not less
than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000).
14.4. Additional Tenant
Insurance . Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall
maintain such other insurance as Landlord may reasonably require
from time to time, but in no event may Landlord require any other
insurance which is (i) not then being required of comparable
tenants leasing comparable amounts of space in comparable buildings
in the vicinity of the Building or (ii) not then available at
commercially reasonable rates.

14.5. Landlord’s Casualty
Insurance . Landlord shall, during the Term of this Lease,
procure and maintain in full force and effect, at a minimum, a
policy or policies of fire insurance covering the Building and the
permanent tenant improvements in the Premises, with standard
extended coverage, vandalism, malicious mischief and sprinkler
leakage endorsements. The amount and scope of coverage of
Landlord’s insurance hereunder shall be determined by
Landlord from time to time in its reasonable discretion based on
prudent risk management practices for buildings comparable to the
Building (but shall not be less than 90% of full replacement value
of the Building and Tenant’s permanent tenant improvements in
the Premises, and shall be subject to such deductible amounts as
Landlord may reasonably elect based on prudent risk management
practices for buildings comparable to the Building. Landlord shall
have the right to reduce or terminate any insurance or coverage
called for by this Section 14.5 to the extent that any such
coverage is not reasonably available in the commercial insurance
industry from recognized carriers or not available at a cost which
is in Landlord’s judgment commercially reasonable under the
circumstances. Landlord shall at Tenant’s request provide a
description of Landlord’s coverage then maintained by
Landlord pursuant to this Section 14.5 .
15. Waiver of Subrogation
Rights . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Lease, Landlord and Tenant, for themselves and their
respective insurers, agree to and do hereby release each other of
and from any and all claims, demands, actions and causes of action
that each may have or claim to have against the other for loss or
damage to property, both real and personal, notwithstanding that
any such loss or damage may be due to or result from the negligence
of either of the parties hereto or their respective employees or
agents. Each party shall, to the extent such insurance endorsement
is lawfully available at commercially reasonable rates, obtain or
cause to be obtained, for the benefit of the other party, a waiver
of any right of subrogation which the insurer of such party may
acquire against the other party by virtue of the payment of any
such loss covered by such insurance.
16. Tenant’s Waiver of
Liability and Indemnification .
16.1. Waiver and Release .
Except to the extent due to the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or
Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors, licenses or invitees
for, and Tenant waives and releases Landlord and Landlord’s

or injury, illness or death of any person in, upon or about the
Premises (including claims caused in whole or in part by the act,
omission, or neglect of other tenants, contractors, licensees,

16.1 extends to the officers, directors, shareholders,
partners, employees, agents and representatives of
Landlord.
16.2. Indemnification of

expense arising out of or in connection with (i) the making of any
alterations, additions or other improvements made by or on behalf
of Tenant during the initial improvement of the Premises pursuant
to the Work Letter or any Alterations, or (ii) injury to or death
of persons or damage to property occurring or resulting directly or
indirectly from: (A) the use or occupancy of, or the conduct of
business in, the Premises by Tenant or its subtenants or any of
their respective officers, directors, employees, agents,
contractors, invitees or licensees; (B) any other occurrence or
condition in or on the Premises; and (C) acts, neglect or omissions
of Tenant, or its subtenants or any of their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents, contractors, invitees or licensees,
in or about any portion of the Building. Tenant’s indemnity
obligation includes reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs,
investigation costs and other reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by Landlord. If Landlord reasonably disapproves the legal
counsel proposed by Tenant for the defense of any claim indemnified
against hereunder,
-27-
Landlord shall have the right to
appoint its own legal counsel, the reasonable fees, costs and
expenses of which shall be included as part of Tenant’s
indemnity obligation hereunder. The indemnification contained in
this Section 16.2 shall extend to the officers, directors,
shareholders, partners, employees, agents and representatives of
Landlord.
16.3. Indemnification of
Tenant . Landlord shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold

includes reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, investigation
costs and other reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Tenant.
The indemnification contained in this Section 16.3 shall
extend to the officers, directors, shareholders, partners,

17. Assignment and Subletting
.
17.1. Compliance Required .
Tenant shall not, directly or indirectly, voluntary or by operation
of law, sell, assign or otherwise transfer this Lease, or any
interest herein (collectively, “assign” or
“assignment”), or sublet the Premises, or any part
thereof, or permit the occupancy of the Premises by any person
other than Tenant (collectively, “sublease” or
“subletting”, the assignee or sublessee under an
assignment or sublease being referred to as a
“transferee”), without Landlord’s prior consent
given or withheld in accordance with the express standards and
conditions of this Article 17 and compliance with the other
provisions of this Article 17 . Any assignment or subletting
made in violation of this Article 17 , shall be void. As
used herein, an “assignment” includes any sale or other
transfer (such as by consolidation, merger or reorganization) of a
majority of the voting stock of Tenant, if Tenant is a corporation
(other than a corporation publicly traded on The New York Stock
Exchange or NASDAQ or similar exchange), or any sale or other
transfer of a majority of the beneficial interest in Tenant, if
Tenant is any other form of entity. Tenant acknowledges and agrees
that the limitations on Tenant’s right to sublet or assign
which are set forth in this Article 17 are reasonable and,
in particular, that the express standards and conditions upon
Tenant’s right to assign or sublet which are set forth in
this Article 17 are reasonable as of the Lease
Date.
17.2. Request by Tenant; Landlord
Response . If Tenant desires to effect an assignment or
sublease, Tenant shall submit to Landlord a request for consent
together with the identity of the parties to the transaction, the
nature of the transferee’s proposed business use for the
Premises, the proposed documentation for and terms of the
transaction, and all other information reasonably requested by
Landlord concerning the proposed transaction and the parties
involved therein, including certified financial information, credit
reports, the business background and references regarding the
transferee, and an opportunity to meet and interview the
transferee. Within twenty (20) days after the later of such
interview or the receipt of all such information required by
Landlord, or within thirty (30) days after the date of
Tenant’s request to Landlord if Landlord does not request
additional information or an interview, Landlord shall have the
right, by notice to Tenant, to: (i) consent to the assignment or
sublease, subject to the terms of this Article 17 ; (ii)
decline to consent to the assignment or sublease; (iii) in the case
of a subletting of at least one floor of the Premises for a term in
excess of six (6) months (other than a sublease of the Fourth Floor
Portion during the first three (3) years of the Term), to sublet
from Tenant the portion of the Premises proposed to be sublet on
the terms and conditions set forth in Tenant’s request to
Landlord; or (iv) in the case of an assignment, to terminate this
Lease as of the date specified by Tenant as the effective date of
the proposed assignment, in which event Tenant will be relieved of
all unaccrued obligations hereunder as of such date, other than
those obligations
-28-
which survive termination of this
Lease; notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to items (iii)
and (iv) above, to the extent that any such request for sublease or
assignment is also made under the Annex Lease, then
Landlord’s actions shall be consistent with its actions under
the Annex Lease. If Landlord elects so to terminate, Tenant shall
have the right, by notice to Landlord within five (5) days after
Landlord’s exercise of such right, to rescind its request for
the proposed assignment, in which event this Lease shall not
terminate and shall remain in full force and effect.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 17.2 to the contrary,
if Tenant desires to sublease or assign all or a portion of the
Fourth Floor Portion and concurrently desires to sublease or assign
to the same subtenant a portion of the premises under the Annex
Lease, and if Tenant does not obtain all necessary consents for the
sublease or assignment of such space in the Annex, then Tenant
shall have the right to rescind its request to sublease or assign
all or a portion of the Fourth Floor Portion by delivering notice
to Landlord within five (5) days after receipt of refusal of such
consent by the landlord under the Annex Lease.
17.3. Conditions for Landlord
Approval . In the event Landlord elects not to sublet from
Tenant or terminate this Lease (in whole or in part) as provided in
clauses (iii) and (iv) of Section 17.2 , Landlord shall not
unreasonably withhold its consent to a proposed subletting or
assignment by Tenant. Without limiting the grounds on which it may
be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to an assignment
or sublease, Tenant agrees that Landlord would be acting reasonably
in withholding its consent in the following instances: (i) if
Tenant is in default under this Lease; (ii) if the transferee is a
governmental or quasi-governmental agency, foreign or domestic;
(iii) if the transferee is an existing tenant in the Building; (iv)
if, in Landlord’s sole judgment, the transferee’s
business, use and/or occupancy of the Premises would (A) violate
any of the terms of this Lease or the lease of any other tenant in
the Building, or (B) not be comparable to and compatible with the
types of use by other tenants in the Building, (C) fall within any
category of use for which Landlord would not then lease space in
the Building under its leasing guidelines and policies then in
effect, (D) require any Alterations which would reduce the value of
the existing leasehold improvements in the Premises, or (E) result
in increased density per floor in excess of one person/200 square
feet of Rentable Area, or require increased services by Landlord;
(v) in the case of a sublease, it would result in more than four
(4) occupancies on one floor of the Premises, including Tenant and
subtenants; or (vi) if the financial condition of the transferee
does not meet the requirements applied by Landlord for other
tenants in the Building under leases with comparable terms, or in
Landlord’s reasonable judgment the business reputation of the
transferee is not consistent with that of other tenants of the
Building. If Landlord consents to an assignment or sublease, the
terms of such assignment or sublease transaction shall not be
modified without Landlord’s prior written consent pursuant to
this Article 17 . Landlord’s consent to an assignment
or subletting shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent
assignment or subletting.
17.4. Costs and Expenses . As
a condition to the effectiveness of any assignment or subletting
under this Article 17 , Tenant shall pay to Landlord a
processing fee of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) and all reasonable
costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
disbursements, incurred by Landlord in evaluating Tenant’s
requests for assignment or sublease, whether or not Landlord
consents to an assignment or sublease. Tenant shall pay the
processing fee with Tenant’s request for Landlord’s
consent under Section 17.2 . Tenant shall also pay to
Landlord all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord due to a
transferee taking possession of the Premises, including freight
elevator operation, security service, janitorial service and
rubbish removal.
17.5. Payment of Excess Rent and
Other Consideration . Tenant shall also pay to Landlord,
promptly upon Tenant’s receipt thereof, fifty percent (50%)
of any and all rent, sums or other consideration, howsoever
denominated, realized by Tenant in connection with any assignment
or sublease transaction in excess of the Base Rent and Escalation
Rent payable hereunder (prorated to reflect the Rent allocable to
the portion of the Premises if a sublease), after first deducting,
(i) in the case of an assignment, the unamortized
-29-
actual out of pocket, third-party,
costs of Alterations paid for by Tenant and actual out of pocket
third party real estate commissions paid by Tenant solely in
connection with such assignment, and (ii) in the case of a
sublease, the actual out of pocket, third-party, cost of
Alterations made to the Premises at Tenant’s cost to effect
the sublease, and the actual amount of any real estate commissions
paid by Tenant to a third party solely in connection with such
sublease, both amortized over the term of the sublease.
17.6. Assumption of Obligations;
Further Restrictions on Subletting . Each assignee shall,
concurrently with any assignment, assume all obligations of Tenant
under this Lease. Each sublease shall be made subject to this Lease
and all of the terms, covenants and conditions contained herein;
and the surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation
thereof, or the termination of this Lease in accordance with its
terms, shall not work a merger and shall, at the option of
Landlord, terminate all or any existing subleases or operate as an
assignment to Landlord of any or all such subleases. No sublessee
(other than Landlord) shall have the right further to sublet more
than one additional time, without Landlord’s prior written
consent, which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion;
provided, however, that such sublessee shall have one right further
to sublet subject to obtaining Landlord’s reasonable consent.
Any assignment by a sublessee of its sublease shall be subject to
Landlord’s prior consent in the same manner as a sublease by
Tenant. No sublease, once consented to by Landlord, shall be
modified without Landlord’s prior consent. No assignment or
sublease shall be binding on Landlord unless the transferee
delivers to Landlord a fully executed counterpart of the assignment
or sublease which contains the assumption by the assignee, or
recognition by the sublessee, of the provisions of this Section
17.6 , in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, but the
failure or refusal of a transferee to deliver such instrument shall
not release or discharge such transferee from the provisions and
obligations of this Section 17.6 , but such failure shall
constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease.
17.7. No Release . No
assignment or sublease shall release Tenant from its obligations
under this Lease, whether arising before or after the assignment or
sublease. The acceptance of Rent by Landlord from any other person
shall not be deemed a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this
Article 17 . On a default by any assignee of Tenant in the
performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this
Lease, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the
necessity of commencing or exhausting remedies against such
assignee. No consent by Landlord to any further assignments or
sublettings of this Lease, or any modification, amendment or
termination of this Lease, or extension, waiver or modification of
payment or any other obligations under this Lease, or any other
action by Landlord with respect to any assignee or sublessee, or
the insolvency, or bankruptcy or default of any such assignee or
sublessee, shall affect the continuing liability of Tenant for its
obligations under this Lease and Tenant waives any defense arising
out of or based thereon, including any suretyship defense of
exoneration. Landlord shall have no obligation to notify Tenant or
obtain Tenant’s consent with respect to any of the foregoing
matters.
17.8. No Encumbrance .
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Article 17 , Tenant shall have no right to encumber, pledge,
hypothecate or otherwise transfer this Lease, or any of
Tenant’s interest or rights hereunder, as security for any
obligation or liability of Tenant.
17.9 Assignment or Sublease to
Related Entity . As long as no Suspension Condition then
exists, Tenant shall have the right, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Section 17.9 , without the
consent of Landlord, but without in any way releasing
Salesforce.com, Inc. from any of its obligations under this Lease,
to (a) assign its interest in this Lease to (i) any corporation
which is a successor to Tenant either by merger or consolidation,
or (ii) a purchaser of all or substantially all of Tenant’s
assets (provided such purchaser shall have also assumed
substantially all of Tenant’s liabilities), or (iii) to a
corporation or other entity which shall control, be under the
control of, or be under common control with Salesforce.com, Inc.
(the term “control” as used herein shall be deemed to
mean ownership
-30-
of more than fifty percent (50%) of
the outstanding voting stock of a corporation, or other majority
equity and control interest if Tenant is not a corporation) (any
such entity being a “Related Entity”), or (b) sublease
all or any portion of the Premises to a Related Entity, so long as
such sublease does not result in the demising of any space in the
Premises. Any assignment or sublease to a Related Entity pursuant
to this Section 17.9 shall be subject to the following
conditions: (i) the principal purpose of such assignment or
sublease is not the acquisition of Tenant’s interest in this
Lease (except if such assignment or sublease is made to a Related
Entity and is made for a valid intra-corporate business purpose and
is not made to circumvent the provisions of this Article 17
), (ii) such assignment or sublease shall be subject to the terms
of this Lease, including the provisions of Sections 17.6 and
17.7 , and (iii) such Related Entity shall have executed all
documents reasonably requested by Landlord to memorialize the
foregoing. Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days after
execution thereof, deliver to Landlord (A) a duplicate original
instrument of assignment in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord, duly executed by Tenant, (B) if
applicable, evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord
establishing compliance by the assignee with the net worth, income
and cash flow requirements of clause (b)(ii) above, (C) an
instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord, duly executed by the assignee, in which such assignee
shall assume observance and performance of, and agree to be
personally bound by, all of the terms, covenants and conditions of
this Lease on Tenant’s part to be observed and performed or
(D) a duplicate original sublease in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord, duly executed by Tenant and
subtenant.
18. Rules and Regulations .
Tenant shall observe and comply, and shall cause its sublessees,
employees, agents, contractors, licensees and invitees to observe
and comply, with the Rules and Regulations of the Building, a copy
of which are attached to this Lease as Exhibit D , and,
after notice thereof, with all reasonable modifications and
additions thereto from time to time promulgated in writing by
Landlord. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant, or
Tenant’s sublessees, employees, agents, contractors,
licensees or invitees, for noncompliance with any Rules and
Regulations of the Building by any other tenant, sublessee,
employee, agent, contractor, licensee, invitee or other occupant of
the Building. Such Rules and Regulations shall be enforced by
Landlord in a non-discriminatory manner. In case of a conflict
between the Lease and the Rules and Regulations, the Lease shall
prevail.
19. Entry of Premises by
Landlord .
19.1. Right to Enter . Upon
24 hours advance notice to Tenant (except in emergencies or in
order to provide regularly scheduled or other routine Building
standard services or additional services requested by Tenant, or
post notices of nonresponsibility or other notices permitted or
required by law when no such notice shall be required), Landlord
and its authorized agents, employees, and contractors may enter the
Premises at reasonable hours to: (i) inspect the same; (ii)
determine Tenant’s compliance with its obligations hereunder;
(iii) exhibit the same to prospective purchasers, lenders or
tenants; (iv) supply any services to be provided by Landlord
hereunder; (v) post notices of nonresponsibility or other notices
permitted or required by law; (vi) make repairs, improvements or
alterations, or perform maintenance in or to, the Premises or any
other portion of the Building, including Building systems; and
(vii) perform such other functions as Landlord deems reasonably
necessary or desirable. Landlord may also grant access to the
Premises to government or utility representatives and bring and use
on or about the Premises such equipment as reasonably necessary to
accomplish the purposes of Landlord’s entry. Landlord shall
use reasonable good faith efforts to effect all entries and perform
all work hereunder in such manner as to minimize interference with
Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises. Landlord shall
have and retain keys with which to unlock all of the doors in or to
the Premises (excluding Tenant’s vaults, safes and similar
secure areas designated in writing by Tenant in advance), and
Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means which
Landlord may deem proper in an emergency in order to obtain entry
to the Premises, including secure areas.
-31-
19.2. Tenant Waiver of Claims
. Except for damages to persons or property caused by the
negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its employees,
Tenant waives any claim for damages for any inconvenience to or
interference with Tenant’s business, or any loss of occupancy
or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, or any other loss, occasioned
by any entry effected or work performed under this Article
19 , and Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement of Rent
by reason of the exercise of any such right of entry or performance
of such work. No entry to the Premises by Landlord or anyone acting
under Landlord occasioned by any entry effected or work performed
under this Article 19 , shall constitute a forcible or
unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises or an eviction,
actual or constructive, of Tenant from the Premises, or any portion
thereof.
20. Default and Remedies
.
20.1. Events of Default . The

commencement; the employment or appointment of a receiver or
trustee to take possession of all or substantially all of
Tenant’s assets or the Premises; the attachment, execution or
