ARTICLE 1
REAL PROPERTY, BUILDING AND

1.1
Real Property, Building and

1.1.1
Premises . Upon and subject to the terms, covenants and
conditions hereinafter set forth in this Lease, Landlord hereby
leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the
premises set forth in Section 6.1 of the Summary (the “
Premises ”), which Premises are located in the
Building defined in Section 6.2 of the Summary to be constructed on
the Real Property. The outline of the floor plan of the Premises is
set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto.
1.1.2
Building and Real
Property/Project . The
Building is part of a multi-office building project (“
Project ”) constructed on the Real Property (as
defined below) known as “Legacy Sabre Springs” which
also includes an additional office building located adjacent to the
Building at 13520 Evening Creek Drive, San Diego, California
(“ Building I ”). Building I and Building
II are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “
Buildings .” The Project may contain an additional
office building that may be constructed on the Real Property and
located adjacent to the Buildings (“ Adjacent Building
”). The term “ Real Property ,” as used in
this Lease, shall mean, collectively, (i) the Buildings, (ii) the
Adjacent Building (if and when constructed), (iii) any outside

streets, transportation facilitation areas and other improvements
and facilities now or hereafter constructed surrounding and/or

parking areas and structures and common areas which Landlord
(and/or any common area association formed by Landlord or
Landlord’s assignee for the Project) may add thereto from
time to time within or as part of the Project; provided, however,
that no such additions shall materially and adversely interfere
with Tenant’s permitted use of the Premises (as described in
Article 5 below) or unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s
access to the Premises or the Building (including Tenant’s
access to the Parking Facilities); and (iv) the land upon which any
of the foregoing are situated. The site plan depicting the current
configuration of the Real Property and proposed Project is set
forth in Exhibit A-l attached hereto. Notwithstanding
the foregoing or anything contained in this Lease to the contrary,
(1) Landlord has no obligation to expand or otherwise make any
improvements within the Project, including, without limitation, the
Adjacent Building, or any of the outside plaza areas, walkways,
driveways, courtyards, public and private streets, transportation
facilitation areas and other improvements and facilities which may
be depicted on Exhibit A-l attached hereto (as the
same may be modified by Landlord from time to time without notice
to Tenant), other than Landlord’s obligations set forth in
the Tenant Work Letter to construct the Base, Shell and Core of the
Building, and the initial Tenant Improvements for the Premises
pursuant to the provisions of the Tenant Work Letter, and (2)
Landlord shall have the right from time to time to include or
exclude any improvements or facilities within the Project, at
Landlord’s sole election, as more particularly set forth in
Section 1.1.3 below.
1.1.3
Tenant’s and
Landlord’s Rights .
Tenant is hereby granted the right to the nonexclusive use of the
common corridors and hallways, stairwells, elevators, restrooms and
other public or common areas located within the Building, and the
non-exclusive use of the areas located on the Real Property
designated by Landlord from time to time as common areas for the
Building; provided, however, that (i) Tenant’s use thereof
shall be subject to (A) the provisions of any covenants, conditions
and restrictions regarding the use thereof now or hereafter
recorded against the Real Property, and (B) such reasonable,
non-discriminatory rules, regulations and restrictions as Landlord
may make from time to time (which shall be provided in writing to
Tenant), and (ii) Tenant may not go on the roof of Building without
Landlord’s prior consent (which may be withheld in
Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion) and without
otherwise being accompanied by a representative of Landlord.
Landlord reserves the right from time to time to use any of the
common areas of the Real Property, and the roof, risers and
conduits of the Building for telecommunications and/or any other
purposes, and to do any of the following: (1) make any changes,
additions, improvements, repairs and/or replacements in or to the
Real Property or any portion or elements thereof, including,
without limitation, (x) changes in the location, size, shape and
number of driveways, entrances, loading and unloading areas,
ingress, egress, direction of traffic, landscaped areas, walkways,
public and private streets, plazas, courtyards, transportation
facilitation areas and common areas, parking spaces, parking
structures and parking areas, and (y) expanding or decreasing the

Property; (3) form a common area association or associations under
covenants, conditions and restrictions to own, manage, operate,

and/or other common areas located outside of the

below, include the common area assessments, fees and taxes charged
by the association(s) and the cost of maintaining, managing,
administering and operating the association(s), in Direct Expenses;
and (4) perform such other acts and make such other changes with
respect to the Real Property as Landlord may, in the exercise of
good faith business judgment, deem to be appropriate; provided,
however, that Landlord agrees to exercise its rights under this
Section 1.1.3 so as to minimize any material, adverse interference
with Tenant’s use of and access to the Premises (including
Tenant’s parking rights hereunder). Landlord, as part of
Operating Expenses, agrees to maintain the common areas-of the Real
Property in a first-class manner consistent with other first-class
office buildings in the Central San Diego County area.
1.2
Condition of Premises
. Except as expressly set forth in
this Lease and in the Tenant Work Letter attached hereto as
Exhibit B , Landlord shall not be obligated to
provide or pay for any improvement, remodeling or refurbishment
work or services related to the improvement, remodeling or
refurbishment of the Premises, and Tenant shall accept the Premises
in its “As Is” condition on the Lease Commencement
Date; provided, however, in the event that, as of the date of
execution of this Lease, the Base, Shell and Core of the Building
(as defined in Section 1 of Exhibit B ), in its
condition existing as of such date without regard to any of the
Tenant Improvements, alterations or other improvements to be
constructed or installed by or on behalf of Tenant in the Premises
or Tenant’s use of the Premises, and based solely on an
unoccupied basis, (A) does not comply with applicable laws in
effect as of the date hereof, or (B) contains latent defects (not
caused by Tenant’s acts or omissions), then Landlord shall be
responsible, at its sole cost and expense which shall not be
included in Operating Expenses (except as otherwise permitted in
Section 4.2 hereof), for correcting any such non-compliance to the
extent and as and when required by applicable laws, and/or
correcting any such latent defects as soon as reasonably possible
after receiving notice thereof from Tenant; provided, however, that
if Tenant fails to give Landlord written notice of any such latent
defects described in clause (B) hereinabove within two (2) months
after the Lease Commencement Date, then the correction of any such
latent defects shall, subject to Landlord’s repair
obligations in Section 7.2 hereof, be Tenant’s responsibility
at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.
1.3
Rentable and Usable Square
Feet . The rentable and
usable square feet for the Premises are approximately as set forth
in Section 6.1 of the Summary. For purposes hereof, the “
usable square feet ” of the Premises and the “
rentable square feet ” of the Premises and the
Buildings and the Adjacent Building in the Project shall be
calculated by Landlord pursuant to the Standard Method for
Measuring Floor Area in Office Buildings, ANSI Z65.1-1996 (“
BOMA ”), as modified for the Project pursuant to
Landlord’s standard rentable area measurements for the
Project, to include, among other calculations, a portion of the
common areas and service areas of the Buildings and the Adjacent
Building in the Project. If the rentable and usable square feet of
the Premises and/or the rentable square feet of the Building
pursuant to the BOMA Standard, shall be different from the amounts
thereof set forth in this Lease, Landlord shall modify all amounts,
percentages and figures appearing or referred to in this Lease to
conform to such corrected square footage amounts therefor
(including, without limitation, the amount of the Base Rent,
Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, Tax Expense and
Utilities Costs and the Tenant Improvement Allowance). Any such
modifications shall be confirmed in writing by Landlord to
Tenant.
ARTICLE 2
LEASE TERM
2.1
Lease Term
. The terms and provisions of this
Lease shall be effective as of the date of this Lease except for
the provisions of this Lease relating to the payment of Rent. The
term of this Lease (the “ Lease Term ”) shall be
as set forth in Section 7.1 of the Summary and shall commence on
the date (the “ Lease Commencement Date ”) set
forth in Section 7.2 of the Summary (subject, however, to the terms
of the Tenant Work Letter), and shall terminate on the date (the
“ Lease Expiration Date ”) set forth in Section
7.3 of the Summary, unless this Lease is sooner terminated as
hereinafter provided. For purposes of this Lease, the term “
Lease Year ” shall mean each consecutive twelve (12)
month period during the Lease Term, provided that the last Lease
Year shall end on the Lease Expiration Date. If Landlord does not
deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on or before the
anticipated Lease Commencement Date (as set forth in Section
7.2(ii) of the Summary), Landlord shall not be subject to any
liability nor shall the validity of this Lease nor the obligations
of Tenant hereunder be affected. In the event that the Lease
Commencement Date is a date which is other than the anticipated
Lease Commencement Date set forth in Section 7.2(ii) of the
Summary, within a reasonable period of time after the date Tenant
takes possession of the Premises Landlord shall deliver to Tenant
an amendment to lease in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
C , attached hereto, setting forth, among other things, the
Lease Commencement Date and the Lease Expiration Date, and Tenant
shall execute and return such amendment to Landlord within five (5)
days after Tenant’s receipt thereof. In the event that
Landlord does not deliver such amendment to Tenant, the Lease
Commencement Date shall be deemed to be the anticipated Lease
Commencement Date set forth in Section 7.2(ii) of the
Summary.
2.2
Outside Date;
Termination . In the
event that Substantial Completion of the Premises has not occurred
by the “ Outside Date ,” which Outside Date
shall be April 1, 2005, as such Outside Date may be extended by the
number of days of Tenant Delays (as defined in the Tenant Work
Letter) and by the number of days of “Force Majeure”
delays (as defined in Section 24.17 hereof) then the sole remedy of
Tenant shall be the right to deliver a notice to Landlord (the
“ Outside Date Termination Notice ”) electing to
terminate this Lease effective upon receipt of the Outside Date
Termination Notice by Landlord (the “ Effective Date
”). Except as provided hereinbelow, the Outside Date
Termination Notice must be delivered by Tenant to Landlord, if at
all, not earlier than the Outside Date and not later than ten (10)
business days after the Outside Date. If Tenant delivers the
Outside Date Termination Notice to Landlord, then Landlord shall
have the right to suspend the Effective Date for a period ending
thirty (30) days after the original Effective Date. In order to
suspend the Effective Date, Landlord must deliver to Tenant, within
five (5) business days after receipt of the Outside Date
Termination Notice, a certificate of the Contractor (as defined in
the Tenant Work Letter) certifying that it is such
Contractor’s best good faith judgment that
Substantial
2
Completion of the Premises will
occur within thirty (30) days after the original Effective Date. If
Substantial Completion of the Premises occurs within said thirty
(30) day suspension period, then the Outside Date Termination
Notice shall be of no further force and effect; if, however,
Substantial Completion of the Premises does not occur within thirty
(30) day suspension period, then this Lease shall terminate as of
the date of expiration of such thirty (30) day period. If, prior to
the Outside Date, Landlord determines that Substantial Completion
of the Premises will not occur by the Outside Date, Landlord shall
have the right to deliver a written notice to Tenant stating
Landlord’s opinion as to the date by which Substantial
Completion of the Premises shall occur and Tenant shall be
required, within five (5) business days after receipt of such
notice, to either deliver the Outside Date Termination Notice
(which will mean that this Lease shall thereupon terminate and
shall be of no further force and effect) or agree to extend the
Outside Date to that date which is set by Landlord. Failure of
Tenant to so respond in writing within said five (5) business day
period shall be deemed to constitute Tenant’s agreement to
extend the Outside Date to that date which is set by Landlord. If
the Outside Date is so extended, Landlord’s right to request
Tenant to elect to either terminate this Lease or further extend
the Outside Date shall remain and shall continue to remain, with
each of the notice periods and response periods set forth above,
until the Substantial Completion of the Premises or until this
Lease is terminated. Upon termination of this Lease pursuant to
this Section 2.2, the parties shall be relieved of all further
obligations under this Lease except for those obligations under
this Lease which expressly survive the expiration or sooner
termination of this Lease.
ARTICLE 3
BASE RENT
Tenant shall pay, without notice or
demand, to Landlord or Landlord’s agent at the management
office of the Project, or at such other place as Landlord may from
time to time designate in writing, in currency or a check for
currency which, at the time of payment, is legal tender for private
or public debts in the United States of America, base rent (“
Base Rent ”) as set forth in Section 8 of the Summary,
payable in equal monthly installments as set forth in Section 8 of
the Summary in advance on or before the first day of each and every
month during the Lease Term, without any setoff or deduction
whatsoever. The Base Rent for the first full month of the Lease
Term shall be paid at the time of Tenant’s execution of this
Lease. If any rental payment date (including the Lease Commencement
Date) falls on a day of the month other than the first day of such
month or if any rental payment is for a period which is shorter
than one month, then the rental for any such fractional month shall
be a proportionate amount of a full calendar month’s rental
based on the proportion that the number of days in such fractional
month bears to the number of days in the calendar month during
which such fractional month occurs. All other payments or
adjustments required to be made under the terms of this Lease that
require proration on a time basis shall be prorated on the same
basis.
Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein and provided that Tenant faithfully
performs all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, Landlord
hereby agrees to abate Tenant’s obligation to pay
Tenant’s monthly Base Rent for the second (2
nd ) and third (3 rd ) full
months of the initial Lease Term. During such abatement period,
Tenant shall still be responsible for the payment of all of its
other monetary obligations under this Lease. In the event of a
default by Tenant under the terms of this Lease that results in
early termination pursuant to the provisions of Article 19 of this
Lease, then as a part of the recovery set forth in Article 19 of
this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to the recovery of the
monthly Base Rent that was abated under the provisions of this
Article 3.
ARTICLE 4
ADDITIONAL
RENT
4.1
Additional Rent
. In addition to paying the Base
Rent specified in Article 3 of this Lease, Tenant shall pay as
additional rent the sum of the following: (i) Tenant’s Share
(as such term is defined below) of the annual Operating Expenses
allocated to the Building (pursuant to Section 4.3.4 below) which
are in excess of the amount of Operating Expenses allocated to the
Building and applicable to the Expense Base Year; plus (ii)
Tenant’s Share of the annual Tax Expenses allocated to the
Building (pursuant to Section 4.3.4 below) which are in excess of
the amount of Tax Expenses allocated to the Building and applicable
to the Tax Expense Base Year; plus (iii) Tenant’s Share of
the annual Utilities Costs allocated to the Building (pursuant to
Section 4.3.4 below) which are in excess of the amount of Utilities
Costs allocated to the Building and applicable to the Utilities
Base Year. Such additional rent, together with any and all other
amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the terms of this
Lease (including, without limitation, pursuant to Article 6), shall
be hereinafter collectively referred to as the “
Additional Rent .” The Base Rent and Additional Rent
are herein collectively referred to as the “ Rent
.” All amounts due under this Article 4 as Additional Rent
shall be payable for the same periods and in the same manner, time
and place as the Base Rent. Without limitation on other obligations
of Tenant which shall survive the expiration of the Lease Term, the
obligations of Tenant to pay the Additional Rent provided for in
this Article 4 shall survive the expiration of the Lease
Term.
4.2

shall mean each calendar year in which any portion of the Lease
Term falls, through and including the calendar year in which the
Lease Term expires.
4.2.2
“ Expense Base Year
” shall mean the year set forth in Section 9.1 of the
Summary.
3
4.2.3
“ Expense Year ”
shall mean each Calendar Year, provided that Landlord, upon notice
to Tenant, may change the Expense Year from time to time to any
other twelve (12) consecutive-month period, and, in the event of
any such change, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, Tax
Expenses and Utilities Costs shall be equitably adjusted for any
Expense Year involved in any such change.
4.2.4
“ Operating Expenses
” shall mean all expenses, costs and amounts of every kind
and nature which Landlord shall pay during any Expense Year because
of or in connection with the ownership, management, maintenance,
repair, replacement, restoration or operation of the Real Property,
including, without limitation, any amounts paid for: (i) the cost
of operating, maintaining, repairing, renovating and managing the
utility systems, mechanical systems, sanitary and storm drainage
systems, any elevator systems and all other “Systems and
Equipment” (as defined in Section 4.2.5 of this Lease), and
the cost of supplies and equipment and maintenance and service
contracts in connection therewith; (ii) the cost of licenses,
certificates, permits and inspections, and the cost of contesting
the validity or applicability of any governmental enactments which
may affect Operating Expenses, and the costs incurred in connection
with implementation and operation (by Landlord or any common area
association(s) formed for the Project) of any transportation system
management program or similar program; (iii) the cost of insurance
carried by Landlord, in such amounts as Landlord may reasonably
determine or as may be required by any mortgagees or the lessor of
any underlying or ground lease affecting the Real Property; (iv)
the cost of landscaping, relamping, supplies, tools, equipment and
materials, and all fees, charges and other costs (including
consulting fees, legal fees and accounting fees) incurred in
connection with the management, operation, repair and maintenance
of the Real Property; (v) the cost of parking area repair,
restoration, and maintenance; (vi) any equipment rental agreements
or management agreements (including the cost of any management fee
(not to exceed five percent (5%) of the gross receipts of the Real
Property) and the fair rental value of any office space provided
thereunder); (vii) wages, salaries and other compensation and
benefits of all persons engaged in the operation, management,
maintenance or security of the Real Property, and employer’s
Social Security taxes, unemployment taxes or insurance, and any
other taxes which may be levied on such wages, salaries,
compensation and benefits; (viii) payments under any easement,
license, operating agreement, declaration, restrictive covenant,
underlying or ground lease (excluding rent), or instrument
pertaining to the sharing of costs by the Real Property; (ix) the
cost of janitorial service, alarm and security service, if any,
window cleaning, trash removal, replacement of wall and floor
coverings, ceiling tiles and fixtures in lobbies, corridors,
restrooms and other common or public areas or facilities,
maintenance and replacement of curbs and walkways, repair to roofs
and re roofing; (x) amortization (including interest on the
unamortized cost) of the cost of acquiring or the rental expense of
personal property used in the maintenance, operation and repair of
the Real Property; and (xi) the cost of any capital improvements or
other costs (I) which are intended as a labor-saving device or to
effect other economies in the operation or maintenance of the Real
Property, (II) made to the Real Property or any portion thereof
after the Lease Commencement Date that are required under any
governmental law or regulation, or (III) which are reasonably
determined by Landlord to be in the best interests of the Real
Property; provided, however, that if any such cost described in
(I), (II) or (III) above, is a capital expenditure, such cost shall
be amortized (including interest on the unamortized cost) over its
useful life as Landlord shall reasonably determine. If Landlord is
not furnishing any particular work or service (the cost of which,
if performed by Landlord, would be included in Operating Expenses)
to a tenant who has undertaken to perform such work or service in
lieu of the performance thereof by Landlord, Operating Expenses
shall be deemed to be increased by an amount equal to the
additional Operating Expenses which would reasonably have been
incurred during such period by Landlord if it had at its own
expense furnished such work or service to such tenant. If the
Buildings (and during the period of time when any other office
buildings are fully constructed and ready for occupancy and are
included by Landlord within the Project) are less than ninety-five
percent (95%) occupied during all or a portion of any Expense Year
(including the Expense Base Year), Landlord shall make an
appropriate adjustment to the variable components of Operating
Expenses for such year or applicable portion thereof, employing
sound accounting and management principles, to determine the amount
of Operating Expenses that would have been paid had the Buildings
(and during the period of time when any other office buildings are
fully constructed and ready for occupancy and are included by
Landlord within the Project) been ninety-five percent (95%)
occupied; and the amount so determined shall be deemed to have been
the amount of Operating Expenses for such year, or applicable
portion thereof.
Subject to the provisions of Section
4.3.4 below, Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, to
equitably allocate some or all of the Operating Expenses (and/or
Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs) between the Building and/or among
different tenants of the Project and/or different buildings of the
Real Property as and when such different buildings (including, but
not limited to, Building II and the Adjacent Building) are
constructed and added to (and/or excluded from) the Real Property
or otherwise (the “ Cost Pools ”). Such Cost
Pools may include, without limitation, the office space tenants and
retail space tenants of the Real Property or of a building or
buildings in the Real Property. Such Cost Pools may also include an
allocation of certain Operating Expenses (and/or Tax Expenses and
Utilities Costs) within or under covenants, conditions and
restrictions affecting the Real Property. In addition, Landlord
shall have the right from time to time, in its reasonable
discretion, to include or exclude existing or future buildings in
the Project for purposes of determining Operating Expenses, Tax
Expenses and Utilities Costs and/or the provision of various
services and amenities thereto, including allocation of Operating
Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs in any such Cost
Pools.
Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth in this Article 4, when calculating Operating
Expenses for the Expense Base Year, Operating Expenses shall
exclude market-wide labor-rate increases due to extraordinary
circumstances, including, but not limited to, boycotts and strikes,
and costs relating to capital improvements or
expenditures.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Operating Expenses shall not, however, include: (A) costs of
leasing commissions, attorneys’ fees and other costs and
expenses incurred in connection with negotiations or disputes with
present or prospective tenants or other occupants of the Real
Property; (B) costs (including permit, license and inspection
costs) incurred in renovating or otherwise improving, decorating or
redecorating rentable space for other
4
tenants or vacant rentable space;
(C) costs incurred due to the violation by Landlord of the terms
and conditions of any lease of space in the Real Property; (D)
costs of overhead or profit increment paid to Landlord or to
subsidiaries or affiliates of Landlord for services in or in
connection with the Real Property to the extent the same exceeds
the costs of overhead and profit increment included in the costs of
such services which could be obtained from third parties on a
competitive basis; (E) except as otherwise specifically provided in
this Section 4.2.4, costs of interest on debt or amortization on
any mortgages, and rent payable under any ground lease of the Real
Property; (F) Utilities Costs; and (G) Tax Expenses.
4.2.5
“ Systems and Equipment
” shall mean any plant, machinery, transformers, duct work,
cable, wires, and other equipment, facilities, and systems designed
to supply heat, ventilation, air conditioning and humidity or any
other services or utilities, or comprising or serving as any
component or portion of the electrical, gas, steam, plumbing,
sprinkler, communications, alarm, security, or fire/life safety
systems or equipment, or any other mechanical, electrical,
electronic, computer or other systems or equipment which serve
either or both of the Buildings and/or the Adjacent Building and/or
any other building in the Project in whole or in part.
4.2.6
“ Tax Expense Base Year
” shall mean the year set forth in Section 9.2 of the
Summary.
4.2.7
“ Tax Expenses ”
shall mean all federal, state, county, or local governmental or
municipal taxes, fees, assessments, charges or other impositions of
every kind and nature, whether general, special, ordinary or
extraordinary, (including, without limitation, real estate taxes,
general and special assessments, transit assessments, fees and
taxes, child care subsidies, fees and/or assessments, job training
subsidies, fees and/or assessments, open space fees and/or
assessments, housing subsidies and/or housing fund fees or
assessments, public art fees and/or assessments, leasehold taxes or
taxes based upon the receipt of rent, including gross receipts or
sales taxes applicable to the receipt of rent, personal property
taxes imposed upon the fixtures, machinery, equipment, apparatus,
systems and equipment, appurtenances, furniture and other personal
property used in connection with the Real Property), which Landlord
shall pay during any Expense Year because of or in connection with
the ownership, leasing and operation of the Real Property or
Landlord’s interest therein. For purposes of this Lease, Tax
Expenses shall be calculated as if the tenant improvements in the
Buildings (and, if and when constructed, the Adjacent Building)
were fully constructed and the Real Property, the Buildings (and,
if and when constructed, the Adjacent Building) and all tenant
improvements in the Buildings (and, if and when constructed, the
Adjacent Building) were fully assessed for real estate tax
purposes.
4.2.7.1
Tax Expenses shall include, without
limitation:
(i)
Any tax on Landlord’s rent,
right to rent or other income from the Real Property or as against
Landlord’s business of leasing any of the Real
Property;
(ii)
Any assessment, tax, fee, levy or
charge in addition to, or in substitution, partially or totally, of
any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge previously included within
the definition of real property tax, it being acknowledged by
Tenant and Landlord that Proposition 13 was adopted by the voters
of the State of California in the June 1978 election (“
Proposition 13 ”) and that assessments, taxes, fees,
levies and charges may be imposed by governmental agencies for such
services as fire protection, street, sidewalk and road maintenance,
refuse removal and for other governmental services formerly
provided without charge to property owners or occupants. It is the
intention of Tenant and Landlord that all such new and increased
assessments, taxes, fees, levies, and charges and all similar
assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges be included within the
definition of Tax Expenses for purposes of this Lease;
(iii)
Any assessment, tax, fee, levy, or
charge allocable to or measured by the area of the Premises or the
rent payable hereunder, including, without limitation, any gross
income tax upon or with respect to the possession, leasing,
operating, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or
occupancy by Tenant of the Premises, or any portion
thereof;
(iv)
Any assessment, tax, fee, levy or
charge, upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a
party, creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the
Premises; and
(v)
Any reasonable expenses incurred by
Landlord in attempting to protest, reduce or minimize Tax
Expenses.
4.2.7.2
In no event shall Tax Expenses for
any Expense Year be less than the Tax Expenses for the Tax Expense
Base Year.
4.2.7.3
Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Section 4.2.7, there shall be excluded
from Tax Expenses (i) all excess profits taxes, franchise taxes,
gift taxes, capital stock taxes, inheritance and succession taxes,
estate taxes, federal and state net income taxes, and other taxes
to the extent applicable to Landlord’s net income (as opposed
to rents, receipts or income attributable to operations at the Real
Property), (ii) any items included as Operating Expenses, and (iii)
any items paid by Tenant under Section 4.4 of this
Lease.
4.2.8
“ Tenant’s Share
” shall mean the percentage set forth in Section 9.4 of the
Summary. Tenant’s Share was calculated by dividing the number
of rentable square feet of the Premises by the total rentable
square feet in the Building (as set forth in Section 9.4 of the
Summary), and stating such amount as a percentage. Landlord shall
have the right from time to time to redetermine the rentable square
feet of the Premises and/or Building, and Tenant’s Share
shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any such
redetermination. If Tenant’s Share is adjusted pursuant to
the foregoing, as to the Expense Year in which such adjustment
occurs, Tenant’s Share for such
5
year shall be determined on the
basis of the number of days during such Expense Year that each such
Tenant’s Share was in effect.
4.2.9
“ Utilities Base Year
” shall mean the year set forth in Section 9.3 of the
Summary.
4.2.10
“ Utilities Costs
” shall mean all actual charges for utilities for the
Building and the Project which Landlord shall pay during any
Expense Year, including, but not limited to, the costs of water,
sewer and electricity, and the costs of HVAC (including, unless
paid by Tenant pursuant to Section 6.1.2 below, the cost of
electricity to operate the HVAC air handlers) and other utilities
(but excluding (i) the cost of electricity consumed in the Premises
and the premises of other tenants of the Building, the Adjacent
Building and any other buildings in the Project (since Tenant is
separately paying for the cost of electricity pursuant to Section
6.1.2 below) and (ii) those charges for which tenants directly
reimburse Landlord or otherwise pay directly to the utility
company) as well as related fees, assessments and surcharges.
Utilities Costs shall be calculated assuming the Buildings (and
during the period of time when any other office buildings are fully
constructed and ready for occupancy and are included by Landlord
within the Project), are at least ninety-five percent (95%)
occupied. If, during all or any part of any Expense Year, Landlord
shall not provide any utilities other than gas and electricity (the
cost of which, if provided by Landlord, would be included in
Utilities Costs) to a tenant (including Tenant) who has undertaken
to provide the same instead of Landlord, Utilities Costs shall be
deemed to be increased by an amount equal to the additional
Utilities Costs which would reasonably have been incurred during
such period by Landlord if Landlord had at its own expense provided
such utilities to such tenant. Utilities Costs shall include any
costs of utilities which are allocated to the Real Property under
any declaration, restrictive covenant, or other instrument
pertaining to the sharing of costs by the Real Property or any
portion thereof, including any covenants, conditions or
restrictions now or hereafter recorded against or affecting the
Real Property. For purposes of determining Utilities Costs incurred
for the Utilities Base Year, Utilities Costs for the Utilities Base
Year shall not include any one time special charges, costs or fees
or extraordinary charges or costs incurred in the Utilities Base
Year only, including those attributable to boycotts, embargoes,
strikes or other shortages of services or fuel. In addition, if in
any Expense Year subsequent to the Utilities Base Year, the amount
of Utilities Costs decreases due to a reduction in the cost of
providing utilities to the Real Property for any reason, including
without limitation, because of deregulation of the utility industry
and/or reduction in rates achieved in contracts with utilities
providers, then for purposes of the Expense Year in which such
decrease in Utilities Costs occurred and all subsequent Expense
Years, the Utilities Costs for the Utilities Base Year shall be
decreased by an amount equal to such decrease.
4.3
Calculation and Payment of
Additional Rent .
4.3.1
Calculation of Excess
. If for any Expense Year ending or
commencing within the Lease Term, (i) Tenant’s Share of
Operating Expenses allocated to the Building pursuant to Section
4.3.4 below for such Expense Year exceeds Tenant’s Share of
Operating Expenses allocated to the Building for the Expense Base
Year and/or (ii) Tenant’s Share of Tax Expenses allocated to
the Building pursuant to Section 4.3.4 below for such Expense Year
exceeds Tenant’s Share of Tax Expenses allocated to the
Building for the Tax Expense Base Year, and/or (iii) Tenant’s
Share of Utilities Costs allocated to the Building pursuant to
Section 4.3.4 below for such Expense Year exceeds Tenant’s
Share of Utilities Costs allocated to the Building for the
Utilities Base Year, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in the
manner set forth in Section 4.3.2, below, and as Additional Rent,
an amount equal to such excess (the “ Excess
”).
4.3.2
Statement of Actual Operating
Expenses. Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs and Payment by
Tenant . Landlord shall
endeavor to give to Tenant on or before the first day of May
following the end of each Expense Year, a statement (the “
Statement ”) which shall state the Operating Expenses,
Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs incurred or accrued for such
preceding Expense Year, and which shall indicate the amount, if
any, of any Excess. Upon receipt of the Statement for each Expense
Year ending during the Lease Term, if an Excess is present, Tenant
shall pay, with its next installment of Base Rent due, the full
amount of the Excess for such Expense Year, less the amounts, if
any, paid during such Expense Year as “Estimated
Excess,” as that term is defined in Section 4.3.3 of this
Lease. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Statement for
any Expense Year shall not prejudice Landlord from enforcing its
rights under this Article 4. Even though the Lease Term has expired
and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination
is made of Tenant’s Share of the Operating Expenses, Tax
Expenses and Utilities Costs for the Expense Year in which this
Lease terminates, if an Excess is present, Tenant shall immediately
pay to Landlord an amount as calculated pursuant to the provisions
of Section 4.3.1 of this Lease. The provisions of this Section
4.3.2 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the
Lease Term.
4.3.3
Statement of Estimated Operating
Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs . In addition, Landlord shall endeavor to give
Tenant a yearly expense estimate statement (the “ Estimate
Statement ”) which shall set forth Landlord’s
reasonable estimate (the “ Estimate ”) of what
the total amount of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities
Costs allocated to the Building pursuant to Section 4.3.4 below for
the then-current Expense Year shall be and the estimated Excess
(the “ Estimated Excess ”) as calculated by
comparing (i) Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses allocated
to the Building, which shall be based upon the Estimate, to
Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses allocated to the
Building for the Expense Base Year, (ii) Tenant’s Share of
Tax Expenses allocated to the Building, which shall be based upon
the Estimate, to Tenant’s Share of Tax Expenses allocated to
the Building for the Tax Expense Base Year, and (iii)
Tenant’s Share of Utilities Costs allocated to the Building,
which shall be based upon the Estimate, to Tenant’s Share of
Utilities Costs allocated to the Building for the Utilities Base
Year. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Estimate
Statement for any Expense Year shall not preclude Landlord from
enforcing its rights to collect any Estimated Excess under this
Article 4. If pursuant to the Estimate Statement an Estimated
Excess is calculated for the then-current Expense Year, Tenant
shall pay, with its next installment of Base Rent due, a fraction
of the Estimated Excess for the then-current Expense Year (reduced
by any amounts paid pursuant to the last sentence of this Section
4.3.3). Such fraction shall have as its numerator the number of
months which have elapsed in such current Expense Year to the month
of such payment, both months
6
inclusive, and shall have twelve
(12) as its denominator. Until a new Estimate Statement is
furnished, Tenant shall pay monthly, with the monthly Base Rent
installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the total
Estimated Excess set forth in the previous Estimate Statement
delivered by Landlord to Tenant.
4.3.4
Allocation of Operating Expenses,
Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs to Building
. The parties acknowledge that the
Building is a part of a multi-office building project consisting of
the Buildings and the Adjacent Building (if and when constructed)
and such other buildings as Landlord may elect to construct and
include as part of the Real Property from time to time
(collectively, the “ Other Buildings ”), and
that certain of the costs and expenses incurred in connection with
the Real Property ( i.e . the Operating Expenses, Tax
Expenses and Utilities Costs) shall be shared among the Buildings
and/or such Other Buildings, while certain other costs and expenses
which are solely attributable to the Building, Building II and such
Other Buildings, as applicable, shall be allocated directly to the
Building, Building II and the Other Buildings, respectively.
Accordingly, as set forth in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 above, Operating
Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs are determined annually
for the Real Property as a whole, and a portion of the Operating
Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs, which portion shall be
determined by Landlord on an equitable basis, shall be allocated to
the Building (as opposed to the tenants of Building II and the
Other Buildings), and such portion so allocated shall be the amount
of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs payable
with respect to the Building upon which Tenant’s Share shall
be calculated. Such portion of the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses
and Utilities Costs allocated to the Building shall include all
Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs which are
attributable solely to the Building, and an equitable portion of
the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs
attributable to the Real Property as a whole. As an example of such
allocation with respect to Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs, it is
anticipated that Landlord may receive separate tax bills which
separately assess the improvements component of Tax Expenses for
each building in the Project and/or Landlord may receive separate
utilities bills from the utilities companies identifying the
Utilities Costs for certain of the utilities costs directly
incurred by each such building (as measured by separate meters
installed for each such building), and such separately assessed Tax
Expenses and separately metered Utilities Costs shall be calculated
for and allocated separately to each such applicable building. In
addition, in the event Landlord elects, at its sole option, to
subdivide certain common area portions of the Real Property such as
landscaping, public and private streets, driveways, walkways,
courtyards, plazas, transportation facilitation areas, accessways
and/or parking areas into a separate parcel or parcels of land
(and/or separately convey all or any of such parcels to a common
area association to own, operate and/or maintain same), the
Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs for such
common area parcels of land may be aggregated and then reasonably
allocated by Landlord to the Building, Building II and such Other
Buildings on an equitable basis as Landlord (and/or any applicable
covenants, conditions and restrictions for any such common area

customary or within the contemplation of the parties hereto,
when:

said taxes are measured by or
reasonably attributable to the cost or value of Tenant’s

by reason of Tenant’s failure to pay Rent and/or other
charges when due hereunder. The late charge shall be deemed
Additional Rent and the right to require it shall be in addition to
all of Landlord’s other rights and remedies hereunder, at law

regulated by any local governmental authority, the state in which
the Real Property is located or the United States
Government.
5.2
ATM Facility
. Subject to all applicable
governmental approvals, during the Lease Term, Tenant shall have
the exclusive right to install and maintain one (1) automated
transaction machine (the “ ATM ”) in an area on

Landlord’s approval, in Landlord’s sole and absolute
discretion (collectively, the “ ATM Facility ”).
In addition, Landlord agrees that Tenant, at Tenant’s sole
cost and expense, shall be permitted to maintain the name
“1 st
Pacific Bank of
California” on the ATM Facility, in a location thereon to be

provide all security measures that are customary for similar
facilities in comparable projects in the vicinity of the Real

required by Tenant for the operation of the ATM Facility and, in
connection therewith, Tenant shall not modify or disturb any
telecommunications lines, services and/or equipment in the Real
Property without Landlord’s prior written consent, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Landlord may require
Tenant to temporarily discontinue services in connection with
Landlord’s maintenance and repair of the Real Property or any
portion thereof, or if necessary in Landlord’s reasonable
judgment, for the security of the Real Property or its occupants or
contents, and any such action by Landlord shall not be deemed a
constructive eviction of Tenant or a disturbance of Tenant’s
use of the Premises or the Real Property and without Landlord
incurring any liability to Tenant whatsoever. Landlord shall have
no responsibility whatsoever for the ATM Facility and shall not be
liable for any damage or disruption to same however caused,
including without limitation, due to a disruption in electrical or
telecommunication service. Landlord makes no representations as to
the suitability of the Real Property for an ATM, whether or not an
ATM may be operated in the Real Property under applicable zoning
ordinances or other laws, or as to the safety or security of the
Real Property. The ATM Facility and surrounding area shall be
deemed to constitute a portion of the Premises for purposes of
Article 10 below. Tenant’s rights to the ATM Facility are
personal to Original Tenant (as defined in Article 16 below and any
assignee that is an Affiliate of Original Tenant’s entire
interest in this Lease pursuant to Section 14.7 below), and shall
only be available to the Original Tenant (or such Affiliate
assignee, as the case may be) while the Original Tenant (or such
Affiliate assignee, as the case may be) is in physical occupancy of
the entire Premises. Upon the expiration or early termination of
this Lease or the termination of Tenant’s rights to the ATM
Facility as provided hereinabove, Tenant shall, at its sole cost
and expense, remove the ATM and return that portion of the ATM
Facility to the original condition as existed immediately prior to
Tenant’s initial installation of such ATM, normal wear and
tear and damage by fire and casualty excepted. If Tenant fails to
remove such ATM and restore the ATM Facility as provided in this
Section 5.2 within ten (10) days following the expiration or early
termination of this Lease, then Landlord may perform such work, and
all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in so performing such
work shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30)
days after Tenant’s receipt of invoice therefor.

herein, Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for
damages, by abatement of Rent or otherwise, for failure to furnish
or delay in furnishing any service (including telephone and
telecommunication services), or for any diminution in the quality
or quantity thereof, when such failure or delay or diminution is
occasioned, in whole or in part, by repairs, replacements, or
improvements, by any strike, lockout or other labor trouble, by
inability to secure electricity, gas, water, or other fuel at the
Building or Real Property after reasonable effort to do so, by any
accident or casualty whatsoever, by act or default of Tenant or
other parties, or by any other cause beyond Landlord’s
reasonable control; and such failures or delays or diminution shall
never be deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of
Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises or relieve Tenant
from paying Rent or performing any of its obligations under this
Lease. Furthermore, Landlord shall not be liable under any
circumstances for a loss of, or injury to, property or for injury
to, or interference with, Tenant’s business, including,
without limitation, loss of profits, however occurring, through or
in connection with or incidental to a failure to furnish any of the

Additional Services
. Landlord shall also have the
exclusive right, but not the obligation, to provide any additional
services which may be required by Tenant, including, without
limitation, locksmithing, lamp replacement, additional janitorial
service, and additional repairs and maintenance, provided that
Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon billing, the sum of all costs to
Landlord of such additional services plus an administration fee.

to pay from time to time hereunder, shall be deemed Additional Rent
hereunder and shall be billed on a monthly basis.

Landlord to provide to the Premises any of the essential utilities
and services required to be provided in Sections 6.1.1 or 6.1.2

from and after the first (1st) day following the Eligibility Period
and continuing until such time that Tenant continues to be so
prevented from using, and does not
9
use, the Premises or a portion
thereof, in the proportion that the rentable square feet of the
portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using, and
does not use, bears to the total rentable square feet of the
Premises; provided, however, that Tenant shall only be entitled to
such abatement of rent if the matter described in clauses (i), (ii)
or (iii) of this sentence is not caused by Tenant’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct. To the extent Tenant shall be
entitled to abatement of rent because of a damage or destruction
pursuant to Article 11 or a taking pursuant to Article 12, then the

ARTICLE 7

thereof not to exceed five percent (5%) (to be uniformly

caused in part or in whole by the act, neglect, fault of or
omission of any duty by Tenant, its agents, servants, employees or
invitees, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent, the
reasonable cost of such maintenance and repairs. Landlord shall not
be liable for any failure to make any such repairs, or to perform
any maintenance. There shall be no abatement of rent and no
liability of Landlord by reason of any injury to or interference
with Tenant’s business arising from the making of any
repairs, alterations or improvements in or to any portion of the

ARTICLE 8
ADDITIONS AND
ALTERATIONS
8.1
Landlord’s Consent to
Alterations . Tenant may
not make any improvements, alterations, additions or changes to the
Premises (collectively, the “ Alterations ”)
without first procuring the prior written consent of Landlord to
such Alterations, which consent shall be requested by Tenant not
less than thirty (30) days prior to the commencement thereof, and
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld by Landlord;
provided, however, Landlord may withhold its consent in its sole
and absolute discretion with respect to any Alterations which may
affect the structural components of the Building or the Systems and
Equipment or which can be seen from outside the Premises. Tenant
shall pay for all overhead, general conditions, fees and other
costs and expenses of the Alterations, and shall pay to Landlord a
Landlord supervision fee often percent (10%) of the cost of the
Alterations. The construction of the initial improvements to the
Premises shall be governed by the terms of the Tenant Work Letter
and not the terms of this Article 8.
8.2
Manner of Construction
. Landlord may impose, as a
condition of its consent to all Alterations or repairs of the
Premises or about the Premises, such requirements as Landlord in
its reasonable discretion may deem desirable, including, but not
limited to, the requirement that Tenant utilize for such purposes
only contractors, materials, mechanics and materialmen approved by
Landlord; provided, however, Landlord may impose such requirements
as Landlord may determine, in its sole and absolute discretion,
with respect to any work affecting the structural components of the
Building or Systems and Equipment (including designating specific
contractors to perform such work). Tenant shall construct such
Alterations and perform such repairs in conformance with any and
all applicable rules and regulations of any federal, state, county
or municipal code or ordinance and pursuant to a valid building
permit, issued by the city in which the Real Property is located,
and in conformance with Landlord’s construction rules and
regulations. Landlord’s approval of the plans, specifications
and working drawings for Tenant’s Alterations shall create no
responsibility or liability on the part of Landlord for their
completeness, design sufficiency, or compliance with all laws,
rules and regulations of governmental agencies or authorities. All
work with respect to any Alterations must be done in a good and
workmanlike manner and diligently prosecuted to completion to the
end that the Premises shall at all times be a complete unit except
during the period of work. In performing the work of any such
Alterations, Tenant shall have the work performed in such manner as
not to obstruct access to the Building or Real Property or the
common areas for any other tenant of the Real Property, and as not
to obstruct the business of Landlord or other tenants of the Real
Property, or interfere with the labor force working at the Real
Property. If Tenant makes any Alterations, Tenant agrees to carry
“Builder’s All Risk” insurance in an amount
approved by Landlord covering the construction of such Alterations,
and such other insurance as Landlord may require, it being
understood and agreed that all of such Alterations shall be insured
by Tenant pursuant to Article 10 of this Lease immediately upon
completion thereof. In addition, Landlord may, in its discretion,
require Tenant to obtain a lien and completion bond or some
alternate form of security satisfactory to
10
Landlord in an amount sufficient to
ensure the lien-free completion of such Alterations and naming
Landlord as a co-obligee. Upon completion of any Alterations,
Tenant shall (i) cause a Notice of Completion to be recorded in the
office of the Recorder of the county in which the Real Property is
located in accordance with Section 3093 of the Civil Code of the
State of California or any successor statute, (ii) deliver to the
management office of the Real Property a reproducible copy of the
“as built” drawings of the Alterations, and (iii)
deliver to Landlord evidence of payment, contractors’
affidavits and full and final waivers of all liens for labor,
services or materials.
8.3
Landlord’s
Property . All
Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment which may be
installed or placed in or about the Premises, and all signs
installed in, on or about the Premises, from time to time, shall be
at the sole cost of Tenant and shall be and become the property of
Landlord. Furthermore, except for the Tenant Improvements
constructed by Landlord pursuant to the Tenant Work Letter,
Landlord may require that Tenant remove any improvement or
Alteration upon the expiration or early termination of the Lease
Term, and repair any damage to the Premises and Building caused by
such removal. If Tenant fails to complete such removal and/or to
repair any damage caused by the removal of any Alterations,
Landlord may do so and may charge the cost thereof to
Tenant.
ARTICLE 9
COVENANT AGAINST
LIENS
Tenant has no authority or power to
cause or permit any lien or encumbrance of any kind whatsoever,
whether created by act of Tenant, operation of law or otherwise, to
attach to or be placed upon the Real Property, Building or
Premises, and any and all liens and encumbrances created by Tenant
shall attach to Tenant’s interest only. Landlord shall have
the right at all times to post and keep posted on the Premises any
notice which it deems necessary for protection from such liens.
Tenant covenants and agrees not to suffer or permit any lien of
mechanics or materialmen or others to be placed against the Real
Property, the Building or the Premises with respect to work or
services claimed to have been performed for or materials claimed to
have been furnished to Tenant or the Premises, and, in case of any
such lien attaching or notice of any lien, Tenant covenants and
agrees to cause it to be immediately released and removed of
record. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Lease, if any such lien is not released and removed on or before
the date notice of such lien is delivered by Landlord to Tenant,
Landlord, at its sole option, may immediately take all action
necessary to release and remove such lien, without any duty to
investigate the validity thereof, and all sums, costs and expenses,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by
Landlord in connection with such lien shall be deemed Additional
Rent under this Lease and shall immediately be due and payable by
Tenant.
ARTICLE 10
INDEMNIFICATION AND
INSURANCE

Tenant or of any person claiming by, through or under Tenant, or of

indemnity shall, in no event, extend to loss of profits, loss of
business or other consequential damages incurred by Landlord or any
Landlord Parties. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.1 to
the contrary, the foregoing assumption of risk, release and
indemnity shall not apply to any Claims to the extent resulting
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or the
Landlord Parties, and not insured (or required to be insured) by
Tenant under this Lease (collectively, the “ Excluded
Claims ”), and Landlord shall indemnify, protect, defend
and hold harmless Tenant and Tenant’s officers, agents and
employees (collectively, “ Tenant Parties ”)

pursuant to the terms of Section 10.4 of this Lease (provided,
however, that Landlord’s indemnity shall, in no event, extend
to loss of profits, loss of business or other consequential damages
incurred by Tenant or any Tenant Parties). Each party’s
agreement to indemnify the other pursuant to this Section 10.1 is
not intended and shall not relieve any insurance carrier of its
obligations under policies required to be carried by the
indemnifying party pursuant to the provisions of this Lease. The
provisions of this Section 10.1 shall survive the expiration or

Commencement Date and at least thirty (30) days before the
expiration dates thereof. If Tenant shall fail to procure such
insurance, or to deliver such policies or certificate, within such
time periods, Landlord may, at its option, in addition to all of
its other rights and remedies under this Lease, and without regard
to any notice and cure periods set forth in Section 19.1, procure
such policies for the account of Tenant, and the cost thereof shall
be paid to Landlord as Additional Rent within ten (10) days after
delivery of bills therefor.
10.4
Subrogation
. Landlord and Tenant agree to have
their respective insurance companies issuing property damage
insurance waive any rights of subrogation that such companies may
have against Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, so long as the
insurance carried by Landlord and Tenant, respectively, is not
invalidated thereby. As long as such waivers of subrogation are
contained in their respective insurance policies, Landlord and
Tenant hereby waive any right that either may have against the
other on account of any loss or damage to their respective property
to the extent such loss or damage is insurable under policies of
insurance for fire and all risk coverage, theft, public liability,
or other similar insurance.
10.5
Additional Insurance
Obligations . Tenant
shall carry and maintain during the entire Lease Term, at
Tenant’s sole cost and expense, increased amounts of the
insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Article
10, and such other reasonable types of insurance coverage and in
such reasonable amounts covering the Premises and Tenant’s
operations therein, as may be reasonably requested by
Landlord.

ARTICLE 11
DAMAGE AND
DESTRUCTION
11.1
Repair of Damage to Premises by
Landlord . Tenant shall
promptly notify Landlord of any damage to the Premises resulting
from fire or any other casualty. If the Premises or any common
areas of the Building or Real Property serving or providing access
to the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty,
Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable
delays for insurance adjustment or other matters beyond
Landlord’s reasonable control, and subject to all other terms
of this Article 11, restore the base, shell, and core of the
Premises and such common areas. Such restoration shall be to
substantially the same condition of the base, shell, and core of
the Premises and common areas prior to the casualty, except for
modifications required by zoning and building codes and other laws
or by the holder of a mortgage on the Real Property, or the lessor
of a ground or underlying lease with respect to the Real Property
and/or the Building, or any other modifications to the common areas
deemed desirable by Landlord, provided access to the Premises and
any common restrooms serving the Premises shall not be materially
impaired. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, upon
the occurrence of any damage to the Premises, Tenant shall assign
to Landlord (or to any party designated by Landlord) all insurance
proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant’s insurance required
under Section 10.3 of this Lease, and Landlord shall repair any
injury or damage to the tenant improvements and alterations
installed in the Premises and shall return such tenant improvements
and alterations to their original condition; provided that if the
cost of such repair by Landlord exceeds the amount of insurance
proceeds received by Landlord from Landlord’s and
Tenant’s insurance carrier, as assigned by Tenant, the cost
of such repairs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord prior to
Landlord’s repair of the damage. In connection with such
repairs and replacements, Tenant shall, prior to the commencement
of construction, submit to Landlord, for Landlord’s review
and approval, all plans, specifications and working drawings
relating thereto, and Landlord shall select the contractors to
perform such improvement work. Landlord shall not be liable for any
inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or its visitors, or injury to
Tenant’s business resulting in any way from such damage or
the repair thereof; provided however, that if such fire or other
casualty shall have damaged the Premises or common areas necessary
to Tenant’s occupancy, and if such damage is not the result
of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant’s
employees, contractors, licensees, or invitees, Landlord shall
allow Tenant a proportionate abatement of Base Rent and
Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and
Utilities Costs, during the time and to the extent the Premises as
a result thereof.
11.2
Landlord’s Option to
Repair . Notwithstanding
the terms of Section 11.1 of this Lease, Landlord may elect not to
rebuild and/or restore the Premises, the Building and/or any other
portion of the Real Property and instead terminate this Lease by
notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within sixty (60)
days after the date of damage, such notice to include a termination
date giving Tenant ninety (90) days to vacate the Premises, but
Landlord may so elect only if the Building shall be damaged by fire
or other casualty or cause, whether or not the Premises are
affected, and one or more of the following conditions is present:
(i) repairs cannot reasonably be completed within one hundred
twenty (120) days of the date of damage (when such repairs are made
without the payment of overtime or other premiums); (ii) the holder
of any mortgage on the Real Property or ground or underlying lessor
with respect to the Real Property and/or the Building shall require
that the insurance proceeds or any portion thereof be used to
retire the mortgage debt, or shall terminate the ground or
underlying lease, as the case may be; or (iii) the damage is not
fully covered, except for deductible amounts, by Landlord’s
insurance policies unless Tenant agrees in writing to pay the
amount not covered and timely provides such funds at the time
Landlord requests the same from Tenant to cover such uninsured
costs. In addition, if the Premises or the Building is destroyed or
damaged to any substantial extent during the last twelve (12)
months of the Lease Term, then notwithstanding anything contained
in this Article 11, Landlord shall have the option to terminate
this Lease by giving written notice to Tenant of the exercise of
such option within thirty (30) days after such damage or
destruction, in which event this Lease shall cease and terminate as
of the date of such notice. Upon any such termination of this Lease
pursuant to this Section 11.2, Tenant shall pay the Base Rent and
Additional Rent, properly apportioned up to such date of
termination, and both parties hereto shall thereafter be freed and
discharged of all further obligations hereunder, except as provided
for in provisions of this Lease which by their terms survive the
expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.
11.3
Waiver of Statutory
Provisions . The
provisions of this Lease, including this Article 11, constitute an
express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any
and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the
Premises, the Building or any other portion of the Real Property,
and any statute or regulation of the state in which the Real
Property is located, including, without limitation, Sections
1932(2) and 1933(4) of the California Civil Code, with respect to
any rights or obligations concerning damage or destruction in the
absence of an express agreement between the parties, and any other
statute or regulation, now or hereafter in effect, shall have no
application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or
any part of the Premises, the Building or any other portion of the
Real Property.
