OFFICE
LEASE
THIS LEASE is made and entered into
by and between Landlord and Tenant as of the Lease Date. 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 the Tenant Improvements).
Anti-Terrorism Law
: Any Requirements relating to
terrorism, anti-terrorism, money-laundering or anti-money
laundering activities, including without limitation the United
Sates Bank Secrecy Act the United States Money Laundering Control
Act of 1986, Executive Order No. 13224, and Title 3 of the USA
Patriot Act and any regulations promulgated under any of
them.
Base Operating Expenses and Base
Real Estate Taxes : The
Operating Expenses and the Real Estate Taxes allocable to the Base
Year, including for purposes of the Real Estate Taxes, any
reduction in Real Estate Taxes obtained by Landlord after the date
hereof as a result of a commonly called Proposition 8
application.
Base Building
: The foundation, floor slabs,
ceilings, roof, columns, beams, shafts, stairs, stairwells,
escalators, elevators, base building restrooms and all common areas
(collectively, the “Building Structure”), and the Base
Building mechanical, electrical, life safety, plumbing, sprinkler
and HVAC systems installed or furnished by Landlord (collectively,
the “Building Systems”).
Building : The office building consisting of a five-story
office tower located on the Land, and commonly known as 6475
Christie Avenue, Emeryville, California.
Control or Controlled : Ownership of more than
fifty percent (50%) of all of the voting stock of a
corporation or more than fifty percent (50%) of all of the
legal and equitable interest in any other business
entity.
CPI : The Consumer Price Index, All Urban Consumers,
for San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose, California for All Items
(1982-1984=100) (Series ID Number CUURA422SA0) published by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of
Labor. If the base year of the CPI is changed, then all
calculations pursuant to this Lease that require use of the CPI
shall be made by using the appropriate conversion factor published
by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (or successor agency) to
correlate to the base year of the CPI herein specified. If no such
conversion factor is published, then Landlord shall, if possible,
make the necessary calculation to achieve such conversion. If such
conversion is not in Landlord’s reasonable judgment possible,
or if publication of the CPI is discontinued, or if the basis
of
1
calculating the CPI is materially
changed, then the term “CPI” shall mean
(a) comparable statistics on the cost of living, as computed
by an agency of the United States Government performing a function
similar to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, or (b) if none, by
a substantial and responsible periodical or publication of
recognized authority most closely approximating the result which
would have been achieved by the CPI, as may be determined by
Landlord in the exercise of its reasonable good faith business
judgment.
Encumbrance
: Any ground lease or underlying
lease, or the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust, or any other
security instrument now or hereafter affecting or encumbering the
Project, or any part thereof or interest therein.
Encumbrancer
: The holder of the beneficial
interest under an Encumbrance.
Environmental Laws
: All Requirements relating to the
environment, health and safety, or the use, generation, handling,
emission, release, discharge, storage or disposal of Hazardous
Materials.
Escalation Rent
: Tenant’s Percentage Share of
the total dollar increase, if any, in Operating Expenses and in
Real Estate Taxes, allocable to 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 or the Project
is less than one hundred percent (100%) occupied during any
part of any year (including the Base Year), Landlord shall make an
appropriate adjustment of the variable components of Operating
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 (or the Project, as the case may be) had been one hundred
percent (100%) occupied during the entire year (and, if
applicable, if the Tenant Improvements in the Building had been
fully constructed and the Land, the Building, the Project, and all
Tenant Improvements in the Building and the Project had been fully
assessed for Real Estate Tax purposes). 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.
Executive Order No.
13224 : Executive Order
No. 13224 on Terrorist Financing effective September 24, 2001,
and relating to “Blocking Property and Prohibiting
Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or
Support Terrorism,” as may be amended from time to
time.
Force Majeure Event
: Any strike, lockout, inability to
secure customary materials, supplies or labor through ordinary
sources despite commercially reasonable efforts to do so, failure
of power, riot, insurrection, act of terrorism, war, fire or other
casualty or other reason of a nature beyond the reasonable control
of a party to this Lease obligated for performance under this Lease
(financial inability excepted).

hazardous waste” or “toxic substances,” or words
of similar import, under any Environmental Laws.

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,

Landlord’s failure to pay any bill as it shall become due
unless non-payment is due to Tenant’s default hereunder;
(M) costs related to the operation of Landlord as an entity
rather than the operation of the Project (including, without
limitation, costs of formation of the entity, internal accounting
unrelated to operation or management of the Project, legal matters
related solely to the maintenance of Landlord as an entity and/or
preparation of tax returns) or costs associated with marketing or
selling the Project or any interest therein, or converting the
Project to a different form of ownership; (N) costs and
disbursements, and other expenses incurred in connection with
leasing, renovating, or improving space for tenants or other
occupants or prospective tenants or occupants of the Project or
costs (including, without limitation, permit, license, and
inspection fees) incurred in renovating or otherwise improving or
decorating, painting or redecorating space for tenants or other
occupants or vacant space; (O) costs of any services sold to
tenants or other occupants for which Landlord is entitled to be
reimbursed by such tenants or other occupants as an additional
charge or rental over and above the base rent and escalation rent
payable under the lease with such tenant or other occupant;
(P) any costs of charitable or political contributions;
(Q) costs incurred by Landlord for use of any portion of the
Project for special events, such as, by way of example and without
limitation, shows, kiosks, filming, private parties or events;
(R) costs of entertainment, dining or travel expenses;
(S) gifts, flowers or similar items provided to Tenant, other
tenants, vendors, prospective tenants, agents or third parties or
the cost of tenant relation parties not expressly authorized in
writing by Tenant; (T) overhead and profit increment paid to
Landlord or to subsidiaries or affiliates of Landlord for goods
and/or services in the Building to the extent the same exceeds the
costs of such goods and/or services rendered by unaffiliated third
parties on a competitive basis for comparable buildings; or
(U) expenses in connection with goods or services provided to
other tenants’ premises when, as to the Premises, Tenant is
required under this Lease to separately pay for or provide such
goods or services, such as, by way of illustration and not in
limitation, costs of after-hours HVAC to other tenants’
premises if Tenant is separately charged for after-hours HVAC
service to the Premises. In addition, if in any “Comparison
Year” (as hereinafter defined) following the Base Year, a new
Operating Expense category (such as, by way of example only and
without limitation, earthquake insurance or concierge services) is
included in Operating Expenses which was not included in the
Operating Expenses during the Base Year, then the cost of such new
item shall be added to the Operating Expenses for the Base Year for
purposes of determining the amounts payable by Tenant as Escalation
Rent under this Lease for such Comparison Year, and during each
subsequent Comparison Year, the same amount shall continue to be
included in the computation of Operating Expenses for the Base
Year, resulting in Operating Expenses for each such Comparison Year
including (as to such category of Operating Expenses) only the
increase in the cost of such new Operating Expense category over
the Base Year, as so adjusted. However, if in any Comparison Year
thereafter, such new category item is not included in Operating
Expenses, then no such addition shall be made to Operating Expenses
for the Base Year. Conversely, when
5
a category of Operating Expenses
that was originally included in the Operating Expenses during the
Base Year is, in any Comparison Year, no longer included in
Operating Expenses, then the cost of such item shall be deleted
from the calculation of Operating Expenses during the Base Year for
purposes of determining the amounts payable by Tenant for such
Comparison Year. The same amount shall continue to be deleted from
the calculation of Operating Expenses for the Base Year for each
Comparison Year thereafter that the Operating Expense category is
so not included. If such category of Operating Expenses is again
included in the Operating Expenses for any Comparison Year, then
the amount of said Operating Expense category originally included
in the Operating Expenses for the Base Year shall again be added
back to the Operating Expenses for the Base Year. Subject to the
provisions of this definition, the determination of Operating
Expenses shall otherwise be made by Landlord in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and practices consistently
applied. The term “Operating Expenses” shall include
the following (without duplication): (1) 100% of Operating
Expenses, as defined above, paid or incurred with respect to the
Building; and (2) the Building’s allocable share of
Operating Expenses that pertain to the common areas (including
parking areas) of the Project in general. However, the Operating
Expenses to which Tenant contributes as a part of Escalation Rent
shall in no event include any Operating Expenses paid or incurred
with respect to (X) any of the Other Buildings, or
(Y) such Other Buildings’ respective allocable share of
Operating Expenses that pertain to the common areas (including
parking areas) of the Project in general.
Other Buildings
: The two other office buildings
located on the Land.
Project : The Land, the Building (including, without
limitation, the Base Building), the Other Buildings, the surface
parking lot behind the Building and the Other Buildings,
landscaping, paved walkways, driveways and all other improvements
at any time located on the Land, and all appurtenances related
thereto, and the ground floor of the enclosed parking facility
adjacent to the Land (the “Covered Parking Area”) and
all ground level common area associated with the Covered Parking
Area, together with ingress thereto and egress therefrom. The
Project is sometimes referred to as “Bay Center” or
“Bay Center Offices.”
Real Estate Taxes
: All taxes, assessments and charges
now or hereafter levied or assessed upon, or with respect to, the
Building, the Project or any portion thereof, or any personal
property of Landlord used in the operation thereof or located
therein, or Landlord’s interest in the Building, the Project
or such personal property, by any federal, state or local entity,
including: (i) all real property taxes and general and special
assessments; (ii) charges, fees or assessments for transit,
housing, day care, open space, art, police, fire or other
governmental services or benefits to the Building or the Project;
(iii) service payments in lieu of taxes; (iv) any tax,
fee or excise on the use or occupancy of any part of the Building
or the Project, or on rent for space in the Building or the

3. Term; Condition and Acceptance
of Premises .
3.1 Initial Term and Acceptance
of Premises .
3.1.1 Initial Term . This
Lease shall be effective as of the Lease Date. Except as
hereinafter provided, and unless sooner terminated or extended
pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, the Term of this Lease
shall commence on the Commencement Date and end on the Expiration
Date.
3.1.2 Condition of Premises .
Except as provided in this Section 3.1.2 and
Sections 7.3 and 7.6.1 and except as described in the
Work Letter, Tenant agrees to accept the Premises in their
“as-is” condition, without any representations or
warranties by Landlord, and with no obligation of Landlord to make
any alterations or improvements to the Premises or to provide any
tenant improvement allowance. Tenant also acknowledges that neither
Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or
warranty with respect to the suitability of the Premises or the
Building for the conduct of Tenant’s business. Landlord shall
exercise commercially reasonable efforts (without any obligation to
engage overtime labor or commence any litigation) to cause
Landlord’s Work as described in the Work Letter to be
substantially complete on or before September 28, 2006 (the
“Target Completion Date”). “Substantially
complete” or “substantial completion” of
Landlord’s Work as used in this Section 3.1.2
shall mean that Landlord’s Work has been completed except for
items of the type customarily found on an architectural punch list,
the correction or completion of which will not materially interfere
with the construction of the Tenant Improvements pursuant to the
Work Letter.
3.1.3 Delay in Completion of
Landlord’s Work .
(a) If Landlord fails to cause the
Landlord’s Work to be substantially complete on or before the
Target Completion Date (regardless of whether such failure is the
result of one or more Force Majeure Events (as defined in
Section 35.18 )), then the Commencement Date shall be
extended for the number of days completion of the Landlord’s
Work is delayed beyond the Target Completion Date.
(b) If Landlord fails to cause the
Landlord’s Work to be substantially complete on or before
January 1, 2007, which date shall be subject to extension for
delay in substantial completion of Landlord’s Work resulting
from the occurrence of one or more Force Majeure Events (such date,
as it may be so extended, is referred to herein as the
“Outside Completion Date”), Tenant shall have the right
to deliver a notice to Landlord (a “Termination
Notice”) electing to terminate this Lease effective upon the
date occurring five (5) business days following receipt by
Landlord of the Termination Notice (the “Effective
Termination Date”). The Termination Notice must be delivered
by Tenant to Landlord, if at all, not earlier than the Outside
Completion Date nor later than five (5) business days after
the Outside Completion Date.
The extension of the Commencement
Date pursuant to Section 3.1.3(a) and Tenant’s
right to terminate this Lease pursuant to
Section 3.1.3(b) shall be Tenant’s sole and
exclusive remedies at law or in equity for the failure of Landlord
to cause the Landlord’s Work to be substantially complete by
the Outside Completion Date, and Tenant expressly agrees that
Landlord shall not
9
be deemed in default or otherwise liable for any
claims, liabilities or damages (including consequential damages)
incurred by Tenant by reason of or in connection with such failure.
At Landlord’s option, the termination right contained in this
Section 3.1.3(b ) shall not be exercisable, or, if
exercised, shall not be effective, if on the date of exercise of
such right Tenant is in default of any obligations under this Lease
beyond any applicable cure period.
3.1.4 Delay in Completion of
Tenant Improvements . If the completion of the Tenant
Improvements is delayed due to a Force Majeure Event or Landlord
Delay, the Commencement Date shall be extended for the number of
days completion of the Tenant Improvements is actually delayed as a
result of such Force Majeure Event or Landlord Delay. For purposes
of this Lease, the term “Landlord Delay” shall mean any
actual delay in the completion of the Tenant Improvements to the
extent such delay is proximately caused by the failure of Landlord
to approve or disapprove of drawings, plans, or other required
submissions relating to the design or construction of the Tenant
Improvements in accordance with and within the time specified in
the Work Letter for such approval or disapproval, except to the
extent delay under this Section 3.1.4 is attributable
to Tenant Delay or to any Force Majeure Event; and provided that no
period of Landlord Delay shall commence until Tenant shall have
provided written notice to Landlord specifying the facts and
circumstances alleged to constitute such Landlord Delay, and the
same shall continue without cure or correction for one
(1) business day following such notice. For the purposes of
this Lease, the term “Tenant Delay” shall mean any
delay in the completion of the Tenant Improvements to the extent
such delay is proximately caused by the act, omission, neglect or
failure of Tenant, Tenant’s Architect, General Contract or
any of their respective agents, employees, contractors or
subcontractors.
3.1.5 Commencement Memorandum
. In the event that the Commencement Date is extended as permitted
pursuant to Section 3.1.4 , Tenant shall execute and
deliver to Landlord, within ten (10) days after request, a
Confirmation of Term in the form as set forth in Exhibit D
attached to this Lease.
3.2 Option to Extend
.
3.2.1 Exercise of Option to
Extend Term . Tenant shall have one (1) option (the
“Extension Option”) to extend the initial Term for an
additional period of five (5) years (the “Extended
Term”) provided that the following conditions are satisfied:
(i) as of the date of delivery of the Election Notice (as
defined below), Tenant is not in economic or material default under
this Lease, beyond any applicable notice and cure period expressly
set forth in this Lease; (ii) as of the end of the initial
Term, Tenant is not in economic or material default under this
Lease, beyond any applicable notice and cure period expressly set
forth in this Lease; and (iii) Tenant has not previously been
in economic or material default under this Lease, beyond any
applicable notice and cure period expressly set forth in this
Lease, more than twice during the one (1) year period
immediately preceding the date that Tenant delivers the Election
Notice. To exercise Tenant’s option with respect to the
Extended Term, Tenant shall give notice to Landlord not more than
eighteen (18) months and not less than twelve (12) months
prior to the expiration of the initial Term (“Election
Notice”).
3.2.2 Fair Market Rent . If
Tenant properly and timely exercises Tenant’s Extension
Option pursuant to Section 3.2.1 above, the Extended
Term shall be upon all
10
of the same terms, covenants and
conditions of this Lease; provided, however, that the Base Rent
applicable to the Premises for the Extended Term shall be one
hundred percent (100%) of the “Fair Market Rent”
for space comparable to the Premises as of the commencement of the
Extended Term. “Fair Market Rent” shall mean the annual
rental being charged for space comparable to the Premises in
buildings comparable to the Building located in Emeryville, Oakland
and Berkeley, California, taking into account location, condition,
available parking, existing improvements, any improvements to be
made, any rental abatement concessions and tenant improvement
allowances and the allocation of any brokerage commission costs.
Fair Market Rent shall reflect the then prevailing rental structure
for comparable space in Emeryville, Oakland and Berkeley,
California. For example, if at the time the Fair Market Rent is
being determined, the prevailing rent structure for comparable
space for comparable lease terms includes periodic rental
adjustments or CPI escalations, the Fair Market Rent shall reflect
such rental structure. Tenant shall pay all leasing commissions and
consulting fees payable in connection with such extensions to the
extent arising out of a contractual relationship between Tenant and
a broker or consultant and Landlord shall pay all leasing
commissions or consulting fees to the extent arising out of a
contractual relationship between Landlord and a broker or
consultant.
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, shall have at
least five (5) years experience appraising office space
located in the vicinity of the Premises, and shall be appointed and
shall act in accordance with the following procedures:
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 fifteen
(15) 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 fifteen (15) 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 within fifteen (15) days
following selection of the second 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.
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
11
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.
If multiple appraisers are selected,
the appraisers shall meet not later than fifteen (15) 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.
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 fifteen
(15) 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.
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.
3.2.5 Restriction on
Assignment . The Extension Option shall be personal to Jamba
Juice Company, a California corporation (“Original
Tenant”) or its Permitted Transferee (as defined in
Section 17.9.1 , below), and shall terminate upon any
assignment of this Lease or any sublease of the
Premises.
3.2.6 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. All other terms and conditions of the Lease
shall remain in full force and effect and shall apply during the
Extended Term, except that: (i) there shall be no further
option to extend the Term beyond a date five (5) years after
the expiration of the initial Term, (ii) there shall be no
rent concessions, and (iii) there shall be no construction
allowance, tenant improvement allowance or similar
provisions.
3.3 Early Entry . If Tenant
takes possession of or enters into the Premises prior to the
Commencement Date for any reason, including for the purposes of
preparing the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy pursuant to the
Work Letter, such possession or entry shall be subject to all of
the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, including
Tenant’s insurance obligations contained in Article 14 and
Tenant’s indemnity obligations contained in Article 16, but
excluding Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Rent, Escalation
Rent or charges for use of the parking to which Tenant is entitled
pursuant to this Lease.
12
4. Rent .
4.1 Payments and Adjustments of
Base Rent .
4.1.1 Obligation to Pay Base
Rent . Tenant shall pay Base Rent to Landlord, in advance, in
equal monthly installments, commencing on or before the
Commencement Date, and thereafter on or before the first day of
each calendar month during the Term. If the Commencement Date is
other than the first day of a calendar month, Base Rent for the
initial fractional calendar month at the commencement of the Term
shall be paid upon the Commencement Date, prorated on the basis of
a thirty (30) day month.
4.1.2 CPI Adjustments to Base
Rent . The Base Rent payable hereunder shall be subject to
increase, effective on the first anniversary of the Commencement
Date and annually thereafter during the initial Lease Term (each, a
“Rent Adjustment Date”), in accordance with the terms
of this Section 4.1.2 . The Base Rent, as adjusted,
shall thereafter be payable by Tenant until the next following Rent
Adjustment Date. The Base Rent shall be increased, effective as of
each Rent Adjustment Date, to equal the Base Rent payable by Tenant
during the twelve (12) month period preceding such Rent
Adjustment Date multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which
equals the Anniversary Index (as defined below) and the denominator
of which equals the Base Index (as defined below); provided,
however, in no event shall the Base Rent increase as of any Rent
Adjustment Date by more than five percent (5%) per annum, over
the Base Rent most recently in effect prior to such Rent Adjustment
Date. For purposes hereof, the “Anniversary Index”
shall mean the CPI published most recently preceding the applicable
Rent Adjustment Date and the “Base Index” shall mean
the CPI published for the corresponding calendar month of the
previous year (or if no CPI was published for the corresponding
calendar month in the previous year, the CPI for the first month
thereafter for which a CPI value was published shall be used, and
the result annualized). When the Base Rent payable as of each Rent
Adjustment Date is determined, Landlord shall promptly give Tenant
written notice of such adjusted Base Rent and the manner in which
it was computed. If Landlord fails to give such notice prior to any
Rent Adjustment Date, such failure shall not constitute a default
on the part of Landlord, nor prejudice Landlord’s right to
give such notice at a later date. In that event, Tenant shall pay,
with the Base Rent payable in the following month, any unpaid
increase in Base Rent, as so adjusted, for the period beginning on
the Rent Adjustment Date and ending on the last day of the month in
which such notice is given.
4.2 Manner of Rent Payment .
All Rent shall be paid by Tenant without notice, demand, abatement,
deduction or offset (except as permitted under
Section 3.1.3(a) , Section 8.4 , and
Section 12.1 ), 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 thirty
(30) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s
invoice therefor. Landlord shall provide to Tenant supporting
documentation of such Additional Rent as reasonably requested by
Tenant.
13
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 within five (5) days after the date
when due on more than two (2) occasions in any calendar year
during the Term, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, with such Rent,
a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such Rent. 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 the greater of (i) ten percent
(10%) per annum, or (ii) four percent (4%) plus the
prime rate (or base rate) reported in the Money Rates column or
section of The Wall Street Journal as being the base rate on
corporate loans at large U.S. money center commercial banks;
provided, however, that if such rate of interest shall exceed the
maximum rate allowed by law, the interest rate shall be
automatically reduced to the maximum rate of interest permitted by
applicable law. 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.
5. Calculation and Payments of
Escalation Rent . During each full or partial calendar year of
the Term subsequent to the Base Year (each such subsequent calendar
year, a “Comparison Year”), Tenant shall pay to
Landlord Escalation Rent to Landlord in accordance with the
following procedures:
5.1 Payment of Estimated
Escalation Rent . During the months of November or December of
the Base Year and November or December of each subsequent calendar
year, or as soon thereafter as practicable, 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 commencing at least thirty
(30) days following receipt of such estimate notice, 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 1st of any year
during the Term, (a) Tenant shall continue to pay Escalation
Rent on the basis of the prior calendar year’s estimate until
the month commencing at least thirty (30) days after such
notice is given, (b) subsequent payments by Tenant shall be
based on the estimate of Escalation Rent set forth in
Landlord’s notice, and (c) 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 commencing at least thirty (30) days
thereafter, and subsequent payments by Tenant for such calendar
year shall be based upon such revised estimate.
14
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 (but in no event later than one hundred eighty
(180) days after the close of each calendar year unless
Landlord is appealing or contesting any Operating Expenses, in
which case the date for delivery shall be within 30 days following
the completion of such appeal or contest), Landlord shall deliver
to Tenant a statement of 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 thirty (30) days after
delivery of the statement.
5.3 Inspection of Operating
Expenses Records . In the event Tenant disputes the amount of
the actual Escalation Rent set forth in the statement delivered by
Landlord to Tenant pursuant to Section 5.2 , Tenant
shall have the right, at Tenant’s sole cost, after five
(5) business days prior written notice to Landlord, to inspect
at Landlord’s property management office during normal
business hours Landlord’s books and records concerning the
Escalation Rent set forth in such statement; provided, however,
Tenant shall have no right to conduct such inspection, have an
inspection performed by the Accountant as described below, or
object to or otherwise dispute the amount of the Operating Expenses
and the Real Estate Taxes set forth in any statement, unless Tenant
does so within nine (9) months immediately following
Landlord’s delivery of the particular statement in question
(the “Review Period”); provided, further, that
notwithstanding any such timely objection, dispute, and/or
inspection, and as a condition precedent to Tenant’s exercise
of its right of objection, dispute, and/or inspection as set forth
in this Section 5.3 , Tenant shall not be permitted to
withhold payment of, and Tenant shall timely pay to Landlord, the
full amounts as required by the provisions of this Article 5 in
accordance with such statement provided, however, such payment may
be made under protest pending the outcome of any inspection which
may be performed by the Accountant as described below. If after
such inspection, Tenant still disputes the amount of the Escalation
Rent set forth in the statement, Tenant shall have the right and
within ninety (90) days thereafter, to cause an independent
certified public accountant, as selected by Tenant and approved by
Landlord (the “Accountant”), which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, to commence and
complete an inspection of Landlord’s books and records to
determine the proper amount of the Escalation Rent incurred and
amounts payable by Tenant for the calendar year which is the
subject of such statement. Such Accountant shall be engaged by
Tenant on a non-contingency fee basis. If such inspection reveals
that Landlord has over-charged Tenant, then Landlord shall credit
against Tenant’s rental obligations next falling due the
amount of such over-charge. If the inspection reveals that the
Tenant was undercharged, then within thirty (30) days after
the results of such inspection are made available to Tenant, Tenant
shall reimburse to Landlord the amount of such under-charge. The
payment by Tenant of any amounts pursuant to this Article 5 shall
not preclude Tenant from questioning the correctness of any
statement provided by Landlord at any time during the Review
Period, but the failure of Tenant to object in
15
writing thereto, conduct and
complete its inspection and request that Landlord have the
Accountant conduct the inspection as described above prior to the
expiration of the Review Period shall be conclusively deemed
Tenant’s approval of the statement in question and the amount
of Escalation Rent shown thereon. The results of any such
inspection shall be kept strictly confidential by Tenant and the
Accountant, and Tenant and the Accountant must agree in their
contract for such services, to such confidentiality restrictions
and shall specifically agree that the results shall not be made
available to any other tenant of the Project. All costs and
expenses of Tenant’s Accountant shall be paid by Tenant
unless it is finally determined that Landlord’s statement
overstated the actual Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes for
the applicable calendar year by five percent (5%) or more, in
which case Landlord shall pay the reasonable costs of
Tenant’s Accountant for the inspection of Landlord’s
records, up to a maximum amount of Ten Thousand Dollars
($10,000.00).
5.4 Proration for Partial
Year . If the Commencement Date is other than the first day of
a calendar year or if this Lease terminates other than on the last
day of a calendar year (other than due to an Event of 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
Section 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, 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 thirty (30) 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
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 or the Project,
anything which (i) is prohibited by, will in any way conflict
with, or would invalidate any Requirements; or (ii) would
cause a cancellation of any insurance policy carried by Landlord or
Tenant, or give rise to any defense by an insurer to any claim
under any such policy of insurance, or increase the existing rate
of or adversely affect any insurance policy carried by Landlord, or
subject Landlord to any liability or responsibility for injury to
any person or property; or (iii) will in any way obstruct or
interfere with the rights of other tenants or
16
occupants of the Project, or injure
or annoy them. 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 Premises, the Building or the Project, then Tenant
shall reimburse Landlord, within thirty (30) days following
written demand therefor accompanied by reasonable supporting
documentation, 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 . Tenant, at its cost
and expense, shall promptly comply with all Requirements which
relate to or arise out of: (i) Tenant’s particular use
of or activities in the Premises, as opposed to general office use,
(ii) the Tenant Improvements and any Alterations,
(iii) the Base Building but only to the extent such
obligations are triggered by the Tenant Improvements or any
Alterations, or Tenant’s particular use of or activities in
the Premises; and (iv) any acts or omissions of Tenant or any
other Tenant Parties. The judgment of any court of competent
jurisdiction, or the admission of Tenant in any action or
proceeding involving Tenant, whether or not Landlord is party
thereto, that Tenant is in non-compliance with any Requirement
shall be conclusive of that fact. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Landlord shall be responsible for complying with all Requirements
which relate to or arise out of Landlord’s Work and all
Requirements which relate to the Base Building, provided that
Landlord’s failure to comply with such Requirements would
prohibit Tenant from obtaining or maintaining a certificate of
occupancy for the Premises, or would otherwise materially adversely
affect Tenant’s use of or access to the Premises, and
provided further, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to
prohibit Landlord from obtaining a variance or relying upon a
grandfathered right in order to achieve such compliance. Any costs
or expenses incurred by Landlord under this Section 7.3
(other than those relating to Landlord’s Work) shall be
included in Operating Expenses to the extent not excluded from the
definition of Operating Expenses; provided, however, that if
Landlord’s compliance pursuant to this
Section 7.3 shall be required as a result of
Tenant’s particular use of or activities in the Premises, the
Tenant Improvements or Alterations to the Premises, Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord for the cost of such compliance within thirty
(30) days after request.
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 Project, which would injure
or annoy, or obstruct or interfere with the rights of, Landlord or
other occupants of the Project, or others lawfully in or about the
Project; (ii) use or allow the Premises to be used in any
manner inappropriate for comparable office buildings in Emeryville,
Oakland and Berkeley, California, or for any improper or
objectionable purposes (provided that Landlord agrees that the
operations of Tenant in accordance with the Permitted Use shall not
constitute a violation of this Section); or (iii) cause,
maintain or permit any nuisance or waste in, on or about the
Premises, or any other portion of the Project.
17
7.5 Hazardous Materials
.
7.5.1 Compliance with
Environmental Laws . Without limiting the generality of
Section 7.3 above, Tenant and all other Tenant Parties
shall at all times comply with all applicable Environmental Laws
with respect to the use and occupancy of any portion of the Project
pursuant to this Lease. Tenant and all other Tenant Parties shall
not generate, store, handle, or otherwise use, or allow, the
generation, storage, handling, or use of, Hazardous Materials in
the Premises or transport the same through the Project, except for
limited quantities of standard office, kitchen, janitorial or other
cleaning supplies required for Tenant’s operation in
accordance with the Permitted Use, or as otherwise permitted in the
Rules and Regulations (such supplies being referred to herein as
“Customary Permitted Materials”). Tenant shall use and
dispose of such Hazardous Materials in strict compliance with all
applicable Requirements, including all Environmental Laws. In the
event of a release of any Hazardous Materials caused by, or due to
the act or neglect of, Tenant or any other Tenant Parties (other
than Customary Permitted Materials), Tenant shall immediately
notify Landlord and take such remedial actions as Landlord may
direct in Landlord’s sole discretion as necessary or
appropriate to abate, remediate and/or clean up the same. If so
elected by Landlord by notice to Tenant, Landlord shall take such
remedial actions on behalf of Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost
and expense. In any event, Landlord shall have the right, without
liability or obligation to Tenant, to direct and/or supervise
Tenant’s remedial actions and to specify the scope thereof
and specifications therefor. Tenant and the other Tenant Parties
shall use, handle, store and transport any Hazardous Materials in
accordance with applicable Environmental Laws, and shall notify
Landlord of any notice of violation of Environmental Laws which it
receives from any governmental agency having jurisdiction. In no
event shall Landlord be designated as the “generator”
on, nor shall Landlord be responsible for preparing, any manifest
relating to Hazardous Materials generated or used by Tenant or any
other Tenant Parties.
7.5.2 California
Health & Safety Code Section 25359 . Additional
information regarding environmental conditions at the Project is
included in Exhibit E to this Lease, which is attached
hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
7.6 Special Provisions Relating
to The Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 .
7.6.1 Allocation of
Responsibility to Landlord . As between Landlord and Tenant,
Landlord shall be responsible that the Landlord’s Work (to
the extent applicable to the Landlord’s Work) and the public
entrances, stairways, corridors, elevators and elevator lobbies and
other public areas 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.
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 .
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, the Tenant Improvements, all Alterations to the Premises,
Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises, and
18
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.
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

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 Standard Tenant Services
. Landlord shall provide the following services on all days (unless
otherwise stated below) during the Term, subject to any limitations
imposed by governmental rules, regulations and guidelines
applicable thereto:
8.1.1 Landlord shall provide

8.1.8 Tenant shall cooperate fully
with Landlord at all times and abide by all regulations and
requirements that Landlord may reasonably prescribe for the proper

plumbing systems.
8.2 Overstandard Tenant Use .
Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed,
(i) install in the Premises (A) lighting and equipment,
the aggregate average daily power usage of which exceeds the
Wattage Allowance, or which requires a voltage above capacities of
the existing applicable panel for those circuits that are currently
being used for Tenant’s Premises, (B) heat-generating
equipment (other than normal office equipment) or lighting other
than lights standard for the Building, or (C) supplementary
air conditioning facilities, or (ii) permit occupancy levels
in excess of one person per one hundred fifty (150) square
feet of Rentable Area. If, pursuant to this Section 8.2
, heat-generating equipment (other than normal office 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 8.2 . The capital, maintenance and service
costs of such facilities and modifications shall be paid by Tenant
as Rent. Landlord, at its election, 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, the cost in all
instances to be shared equally by Landlord and Tenant. If Tenant
desires services in additional amounts than set forth in
Section 8.1 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 Tenant desires services at
different
20
times than set forth in
Section 8.1 above, Tenant shall notify Landlord and
Landlord shall provide such after-hours services provided that
Tenant shall pay Landlord’s charges for such services within
thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of
Landlord’s invoice. Electricity shall be charged at
Landlord’s actual cost; the initial charge for HVAC service
provided by the Building central system shall be a rate of $39.87
per hour per zone (the “HVAC Additional Rate”), and the
parties acknowledge there are two (2) zones in the portion of
the Premises located on the second floor and one (1) zone in
the portion of the Premises located on the ground floor for HVAC
service; the additional charge for lighting services provided by
the Building central system shall be at a rate of $6.85 per hour
per zone (the “Lighting Additional Rate”) and the
parties acknowledge there are three (3) zones in the portion
of the Premises located on the second floor and one (1) zone
on the portion of the Premises located on the ground floor for
lighting service; provided, however, Landlord shall have the right
from time to time during the Term, to increase the HVAC Additional
Rate and the Lighting Additional Rate to reflect increases in
Landlord’s actual cost for providing additional HVAC service
and lighting service. However, if Tenant is charged for such
after-hours HVAC or lighting usage, then in no event shall
Operating Expenses include costs of HVAC service or lighting
service for the premises of other Building occupants during
after-hours periods.
8.3 Maintenance of Building .
Landlord shall maintain the Building and the Project (other than
the Premises and the premises of other tenants of the Project) 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 other Tenant Parties (to the extent not
covered by insurance maintained by Landlord), which damage shall be
repaired by Landlord at Tenant’s expense. Landlord’s
maintenance of, and provision of services to, the Project shall be
performed in a manner consistent with that of comparable office
buildings in the Emeryville, Oakland and Berkeley, California area.
Landlord shall have the right in connection with its maintenance of
the Building and the Project hereunder (i) to change the
arrangement and/or location of any amenity, installation or
improvement in the public entrances, stairways, corridors,
elevators and elevator lobbies, and other public areas in the
Building or the Project, and (ii) to utilize portions of the
public areas in the Building and the Project from time to time for
entertainment, displays, product shows, leasing of kiosks or such
other uses that in Landlord’s sole judgment tend to attract
the public, so long as such uses do not materially interfere with
or impair Tenant’s access to or use or occupancy of the
Premises or the parking areas.
8.4 Interruption of Use
.
8.4.1 If solely as a result of
Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, Landlord
fails to provide an Essential Service (as defined in
Section 8.4.2 below) which Landlord is required to
provide to the Premises pursuant to the terms of
Section 8.1 (an “Abatement Condition”),
which prevents Tenant from occupying all or a material portion of
the Premises (the “Abatement Space”), then Base Rent
and Escalation Rent payable hereunder shall abate, provided the
following additional conditions are satisfied in each
instance:
8.4.1.1 With respect to the
Abatement Condition in question, Tenant shall give notice to
Landlord of the occurrence thereof, which notice shall designate
the cause or suspected cause of the Abatement Condition, if known
to Tenant, and the portion of the
21
Premises which is not usable by
Tenant, and the Abatement Condition in question shall continue
after Tenant has given such notice for a period of not less than
five (5) consecutive days; and
8.4.1.2 Tenant, solely because of
the occurrence of the Abatement Condition, shall actually vacate
the Abatement Space for not less than five (5) consecutive
days after giving its notice to Landlord of the Abatement
Condition.
8.4.2 If, with respect to any
Abatement Condition, the conditions contained in Sections
8.4.1.1 and 8.4.1.2 are fulfilled, then Base Rent and
Escalation Rent shall abate in the proportion that the rentable
square foot area of the Abatement Space actually vacated bears to
the rentable square foot area of the Premises, for a period equal
to the lesser of (A) the period during which Tenant has
actually vacated the Abatement Space, or (B) the period of
time between Tenant’s having vacated the Abatement Space and
the date Tenant receives notice from Landlord that the Abatement
Condition has been cured, provided that such time periods shall not
commence to run until the day after Tenant gives Landlord notice of
the Abatement Condition as required above. For purposes of this
Section 8.4.2, vacation of the Abatement Space shall not
require Tenant to remove furniture, fixtures or equipment. Tenant
shall be deemed to have vacated the Abatement Space if, due to the
Abatement Condition, the Abatement Space is not useable by Tenant,
and Tenant does not in fact conduct any business in or use the
Abatement Space. Nothing contained herein shall limit
Tenant’s right to an abatement of Rent or termination of this
Lease in the case of a casualty as provided in
Section 12.1 or in the case of a taking as provided in
Section 13.1 hereof. In addition, if such failure
persists for more than thirty (30) consecutive days during the
last six (6) months of the original Term (even if Tenant has
negotiated a renewal or extension of this Lease) and such failure
has caused Tenant’s business operations to be materially
reduced or diminished, Tenant shall have the right to terminate
this Lease upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to
Landlord. For purposes hereof, an “Essential Service”
shall mean the standard mechanical, electrical or other systems
(e.g., HVAC, life safety or automatic fire extinguisher/sprinkler
system) serving the Premises in common with other premises to the
extent Landlord is required to provide such services to the
Premises pursuant to the terms of this Article 8.
8.4.3 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
breakage, 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 Project after
reasonable effort to do so, any Force Majeure Event, by any riot or
other dangerous condition, emergency, 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 services or utilities
as set forth in this Article 8.
22
9. Maintenance of Premises .
Tenant shall, at all times during the Term, at Tenant’s cost
and expense, keep the Premises (other than elements of the Building
or Project to be maintained or repaired by Landlord pursuant to
this Lease) 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
Sections 1941 and 1942 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.
10. Alterations to Premises .
All Alterations shall be made in accordance with the
Building-standard procedures, specifications, and details
(including the standard for construction and quality of materials
in the Project) as then established by Landlord, all applicable
Requirements, and the provisions of this Article 10.
10.1 Landlord Consent;
Procedure . Tenant shall not make or permit to be made any
Alterations without Landlord’s prior written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
10.2 General Requirements
.
10.2.1 All Alterations shall be
designed and performed by Tenant at Tenant’s cost and
expense; provided, however, that if any Alterations require work to
be performed outside the Premises, Landlord may elect to perform
such work at Tenant’s expense.
10.2.2 All Alterations shall be
performed only by contractors, engineers or architects approved by
Landlord, and shall be made in accordance with complete and
detailed architectural, mechanical and engineering plans and
specifications approved in writing by Landlord. Landlord shall not
unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its approval of any such
contractors, engineers, architects, plans or specifications;
provided, however, that Landlord may specify contractors, engineers
or architects to perform work affecting the structural portions of
the Project or the Building Systems. Tenant shall engage only labor
that is harmonious and compatible with other labor working in the
Project. In the event of any labor disturbance caused by persons
employed by Tenant or Tenant’s contractor, Tenant shall
immediately take all actions necessary to eliminate such
disturbance.
10.2.3 Prior to commencement of the
Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord any building or other
permit required by Requirements in connection with the Alterations.
In addition, Tenant shall require its general contractor to carry
and maintain the following insurance at no expense to Landlord, and
Tenant shall furnish Landlord with satisfactory evidence thereof
prior to the commencement of construction of the Alterations:
(A) commercial general liability insurance with limits of not
less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) combined single limit
for bodily injury and property damage, including personal injury
and death, and products and completed operations coverage in an
amount not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) in the
aggregate; (B) commercial automobile liability
23
insurance with a policy limit of not
less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) each accident for
bodily injury and property damage, providing coverage at least as
broad as the Insurance Services Office (ISO) Business Auto Coverage
form covering Automobile Liability, symbol 1 “any auto”
provided that Tenant has owned automobiles, and insuring against
all loss in connection with the ownership, maintenance and
operation of automotive equipment that is owned, hired or
non-owned; (C) worker’s compensation with statutory
limits and employer’s liability insurance with a limit of not
less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence. All
insurance required by this Article 10 shall be issued by solvent
companies qualified to do business in the State of California, and
with a Best & Company rating of A:VIII or better. All such
insurance policies (except workers’ compensation and
employer’s liability insurance) shall (i) provide that
Landlord, Landlord’s managing agent, any Encumbrancer, and
any other person requested by Landlord is designated as an
additional insured with respect to liability arising out of work
performed by or for Tenant’s general contractor without
limitation as to coverage afforded under such policy pursuant to an
endorsement providing coverage at least as broad as ISO form CG 20
10 07 04 and CG 20 37 10 01 or their equivalent, provided that such
endorsement is commercially available and the premium for such
endorsement is commercially reasonable (2) specify that such
insurance is primary and that any insurance or self-insurance
maintained by Landlord shall not contribute with it, and
(3) provide that the insurer agrees not to cancel the policy
without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice
to all additional insureds (except in the event of a cancellation
as a result of nonpayment, in which event the insurer shall give
all additional insureds at least ten (10) days’ prior
notice). Tenant shall cause Tenant’s general contractor to
notify Landlord within ten (10) days after any material
modification of any policy of insurance required under this
Article. Upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall deliver
complete certified copies of such policies. Tenant’s general
contractor shall furnish Landlord evidence of insurance for its
subcontractors as may be reasonably required by Landlord. Tenant
acknowledges and agrees that Landlord may require other types of
insurance coverage and/or increase the insurance limits set forth
above if Landlord determines such increase is required to protect
adequately the parties named as insureds or additional insureds
under such insurance and if such coverage or increase is
customarily required of tenants comparable to Tenant leasing space
comparable to the Premises.
10.2.4 Tenant shall promptly
commence construction of Alterations, cause such Alterations to be
constructed in a good and workmanlike manner and in such a manner
and at such times so that any such work shall not disrupt or
interfere with the use, occupancy or operations of other tenants or
occupants of the Project, and complete the same with due diligence
as soon as possible after commencement.
10.2.5 All trash which may
accumulate in connection with Tenant’s construction
activities shall be removed by Tenant at its own expense from the
Premises and the Project.
10.3 Landlord’s Right to
Inspect . Landlord or its agents shall have the right (but not
the obligation) to inspect the construction of Alterations, and to
require corrections of faulty construction or any material
deviation from the plans for such Alterations as approved by
Landlord; provided, however, that no such inspection shall
(i) be deemed to create any liability on the part of Landlord,
or (ii) constitute a representation by Landlord that the work
so inspected conforms with such plans or complies with any
applicable Requirements, or (iii) give rise to a
24
waiver of, or estoppel with respect
to, Landlord’s continuing right at any time or from time to
time to require the correction of any faulty work or any material
deviation from such plans. In addition, under no circumstances
shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any damage, loss, cost or
expense incurred by Tenant on account of Tenant’s plans and
specifications, Tenant’s contractors, mechanics or engineers,
design or construction of any Alteration, or delay in completion of
any Alteration.
10.4 Tenant’s Obligations
Upon Completion . Promptly following completion of any
Alterations, Tenant shall (i) furnish to Landlord
“as-built” drawings or marked construction drawings
showing the Alterations as made and constructed in the Premises,
(ii) cause a timely notice of completion to be recorded in the
Office of the Recorder of the County of Alameda in accordance with
Civil Code Section 3093 or any successor statute, and
(iii) if requested by Landlord, deliver to Landlord evidence
of full payment and unconditional final waivers of all liens for
labor, services, or materials in excess of Ten Thousand Dollars
($10,000.00) in the aggregate.
10.5 Repairs . If any part of
the Building Systems shall be damaged during the performance of
Alterations, Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord, and Landlord
may elect to repair such damage at Tenant’s expense.
Alternatively, Landlord may require Tenant to repair such damage at
Tenant’s sole expense using contractors approved by
Landlord.
10.6 Ownership and Removal of
Alterations .
10.6.1 Ownership . All
permanently affixed Alterations shall become a part of the Project
and immediately belong to Landlord without compensation to Tenant,
unless Landlord consents otherwise in writing; provided, however,
that equipment and movable furniture shall remain the property of
Tenant.
10.6.2 Removal . If required
by Landlord, Tenant, prior to the expiration of the Term or
termination of this Lease, shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and
expense, (i) remove any or all Alterations, (ii) restore
the Premises to the condition existing prior to the installation of
such Alterations, and (iii) repair all damage to the Premises
or Project caused by the removal of such Alterations; provided that
Landlord may only so require removal of items which Landlord
notified Tenant at the time of Landlord’s approval of the
installation thereof (or within ten (10) days after
Landlord’s first learning of the installation thereof if not
requiring Landlord’s approval for installation) that such
items would be subject to such requirement for removal. If removal
of Alterations is so required by Landlord, Tenant shall use a
contractor reasonably approved by Landlord for such removal and
repair. Subject to the foregoing provisions regarding removal, all
Alterations shall be Landlord’s property and at the
expiration of the Term or termination of this Lease shall remain on
the Premises without compensation to Tenant.
10.7 Minor Alterations .
Notwithstanding any provision in the foregoing to the contrary,
Tenant may construct Minor Alterations in the Premises without
Landlord’s prior written consent, but with prior notification
to Landlord. Before commencing construction of Minor Alterations,
Tenant shall submit to Landlord such documentation as Landlord may
reasonably require to determine whether Tenant’s proposed
Alterations qualify as Minor Alterations. Except to the extent
inconsistent with this Section 10.7 , Minor Alterations
shall
25
otherwise comply with the provisions
of this Article 10 . All references in this Lease to
“Alterations” shall mean and include Minor Alterations,
unless specified to the contrary.
10.8 Landlord’s
Expenses . In connection with installing or removing
Alterations, Tenant shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket fees and
costs incurred by Landlord for review and approval of
Tenant’s plans, specifications and working drawings, and
administration by Landlord of the construction, installation or
removal of Alterations, and restoration of the Premises to their
previous condition. Tenant shall pay the amount of all fees and
costs owing pursuant to this Section 10.8 within thirty
(30) days after receipt from Landlord of a statement or
invoice therefor, accompanied by reasonable supporting
documentation.
11. Liens . Tenant shall keep
the Premises, the Building and the Project 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, the
Building and the Project 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 (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 or the Project necessary for
Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises, are damaged or
destroyed by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall, as soon as
reasonably practicable (but in no event more than sixty
(60) 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 two hundred seventy (270) days after the date of
damage or destruction, then (i) Landlord shall proceed with
all due diligence to repair the Premises, and/or the portion of the
Building or the Project 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 Requirements; (ii) this Lease shall
remain in full force and effect; and (iii) to the extent such
damage or destruction either (1) did not result from the
negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or other Tenant Parties,
or (2) did result from the negligence or willful misconduct of
Tenant or other Tenant Parties but is covered under the rental loss
(or comparable) insurance coverage maintained by Landlord, Base
Rent and Escalation Rent shall abate for such part of the Premises
rendered unusable by Tenant 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 (provided that Base Rent
and Escalation Rent shall be fully abated during such period to the
extent that operation for business from the unaffected portions of
the Premises is not reasonably practicable).
26
12.2 Landlord’s
Election . If Landlord determines that the necessary repairs
cannot be completed within two hundred seventy (270) days
after the date of damage or destruction, or if such damage or
destruction arises from causes not covered by Landlord’s
insurance policy then in force and such uninsured costs to repair
exceeds Twenty Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000.00),
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 or the
Project 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section 12.2 , Landlord may terminate
this Lease pursuant to this Section 12.2 only if
Landlord shall terminate the leases of all other tenants in the
Building similarly affected by the casualty and with respect to
which Landlord has a comparable termination right, it being agreed
that Landlord shall not be entitled to use its rights under this
Section to terminate only “below market” leases. If
Landlord elects to terminate the Lease as a result of an uninsured
casualty, Tenant shall have the right to nullify such termination
by depositing with Landlord within ten (10) days after
Landlord’s notice of termination the estimated amount to
repair the damage or destruction arising from causes not covered by
Landlord’s insurance policy in excess of Twenty Five Thousand
and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000.00).
12.3 Tenant’s Election
. Landlord shall, as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no
event more than sixty (60) days after an event of damage or
destruction) notify Tenant if Landlord determines that the
necessary repairs cannot be completed within two hundred seventy
(270) days after the date of such damage or destruction.
Tenant may elect within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s
receipt of Landlord’s notice to terminate this Lease by
written notice to Landlord effective as of the date specified in
Tenant’s notice, which date shall not be less than thirty
(30) days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date
such termination notice is given by Tenant. Furthermore, if neither
Landlord nor Tenant has terminated this Lease, and the repairs are
not actually completed for any reason (other than the act,
omission, neglect or failure of Tenant) within three hundred thirty
(330) days after the date of such damage or destruction, then
Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease within five
(5) business days following the end of such three hundred
thirty (330) day period.
12.4 Cost of Repairs .
Landlord shall pay the cost for repair of the Building, the
Project, the Landlord’s Work, the Tenant Improvements and any
Alterations made to the Premises by Tenant. Such restoration shall
be to substantially the same condition of the Building, the
Project, the Landlord’s Work, the Tenant Improvements and
Alterations made to the Premises by Tenant prior to the casualty,
except for modifications required by zoning and building codes and
other laws or by the holder of a mortgage on the Building or
Project. Upon the occurrence of any damage to the Premises, if this
Lease is not terminated, Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or to any
party designated by Landlord) all insurance proceeds payable to
Tenant under Tenant’s insurance required under clause
(ii) of Section 14.1.3. of this Lease which
pertain to work to be performed by Landlord; provided that if as a
result of Tenant’s failure to obtain or maintain all of the
insurance required of Tenant under this Lease, the cost of such
repair by Landlord exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds
received by Landlord from Tenant’s insurance carrier, as
assigned by Tenant, then the cost of such repairs shall be paid by
Tenant to Landlord in accordance with a reasonable progress payment
schedule, or, in the event Tenant is
27
not the Original Tenant or a Related
Company, then prior to Landlord’s commencement of repair of
the damage; provided further, however, Tenant shall be obligated to
pay to Landlord the deductible amount associated with all insurance
proceeds that Tenant assigns to Landlord. To the extent replacement
or repair thereof is desired by Tenant, Tenant shall be obligated
to replace or repair, at Tenant’s cost and expense,
Tenant’s movable office furniture, trade fixtures, office
equipment, merchandise, and all other items of Tenant’s
property in, on, at, or about the Premises and the Project which
Tenant shall be responsible for insuring during the Term of this
Lease.
12.5 Damage at End of Term .
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article
12, if the Premises, or any other portion thereof or of the
Building, are damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty within
the last eighteen (18) 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 to Tenant, but in no event
later than the end of such ninety (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 or the Project, 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 or the Project if Landlord reasonably determines that such
taking is of such extent and nature as to render the operation of
the remaining Building or the Project 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.
28
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 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 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 Taking at End of Term .
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article
13, if the Premises, or any other portion thereof or of the
Building or the Project, are taken within the last eighteen
(18) 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 taking.
Such termination shall be effective on the date specified in
Landlord’s notice to Tenant, but in no event later than the
end of such ninety (90) day period.
13.5 Tenant Waiver . The
rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant on any taking of the
Premises or any other portion of the Building or the Project 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 .

throughout the Term, the following insurance:
14.1.1 Commercial General
Liability Insurance . Tenant shall maintain a policy(ies) of
commercial general liability insurance written on an
“occurrence” basis, with limits of liability, in the
aggregate, of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00).

personal injury, and advertising injury arising out of or relating
(directly or indirectly) to Tenant’s business operations,
conduct, assumed liabilities, or use or occupancy of the Premises
or the Project, and shall include all the coverages typically
provided by the Broad Form Commercial General Liability
Endorsement, including broad form property damage coverage (which
