Abatement of
Rent When Tenant is Prevented From Using Premises. If Tenant is
prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or any portion
thereof, for five (5) consecutive business days (the "Eligibility
Period") as a result of (i) any repair, maintenance or alteration
performed by Landlord after the Commencement Date, or (ii) any
failure to provide to the Premises any of the essential utilities
and services required to be provided in Sections 16.1(a), 16.1(b),
or 16.1(c) above, (iii) any failure to provide access to the
Premises, or (iv) Landlord’s exercise of its rights in
Section 4.2 of this Lease, then Tenant’s obligation to pay
Monthly Basic Rent and Operating Expenses shall be abated or
reduced, as the case may be, 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
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) (i.e, the matter giving rise to the repair,
maintenance or alteration), (ii) or (iii) of this sentence is
caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or
Landlord’s contractors or agents

|
2. Term;
Extension Option; Early Access .
|
2.1
|
|
Term . The Term of this Lease shall be
for the period designated in Section 1.6 of the Summary
commencing on the Commencement Date, and ending on the expiration
of such period, unless the Term is sooner terminated as provided in
this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commencement Date
falls on any day other than the first day of a calendar month then
the term of this Lease will be measured from the first day of the
month following the month in which the Commencement Date occurs so
that the Term will end on the last day of a month. By written
instrument substantially in the form of Exhibit
“D” attached hereto, Landlord shall notify Tenant
of the Commencement Date, the rentable and usable square feet of
the Premises, Tenant’s Percentage and all other matters
stated therein, and Tenant shall, within ten (10) days
following delivery of such Commencement Notice, either (i)
acknowledge and agree to all matters set forth in the Commencement
Notice by executing the same and delivering the fully executed
Commencement Notice to Landlord (in which case the Commencement
Notice shall be conclusive and binding on Tenant as to all matters
set forth therein), or (ii) deliver written notice to Landlord
of any objections to matters contained in the Commencement Notice.
The foregoing notwithstanding, Landlord’s failure to deliver
any Commencement Notice to Tenant shall not affect Landlord’s
determination of the Commencement Date. If for any reason Landlord
cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on the
anticipated Commencement Date, Landlord shall not be subject to any
liability therefor, nor shall such failure affect the validity of
this Lease or the obligations of Tenant hereunder or extend the
term hereof, but in such case,
|
|
|
|
Tenant shall not be obligated to pay
rent or perform any other obligation of Tenant under the terms of
this Lease, except as may be otherwise provided in this Lease,
until possession of the Premises is tendered to Tenant.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2.2
|
|
Option to Extend
.
|
|
|
|
|
|
(a)
|
|
Subject to the terms hereof,
Landlord hereby grants to Tenant one (1) option (the “
Extension Option ”) to extend the Term of this Lease
with respect to the entire Premises for three (3) years (“
Option Term ”), on the same terms, covenants and
conditions as provided for in this Lease during the initial Lease
Term, except that all economic terms such as, without limitation,
Monthly Basic Rent, a new Base Year for Operating Expenses, if
appropriate, parking charges, etc., shall be established based on
the “fair market rental rate” for the Premises for the
Option Term as defined and determined in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 2.2 and except that the
Tenant shall have no further right to extend the Lease
Term.
|
|
|
|
|
|
(b)
|
|
The
Extension Option must be exercised, if at all, by written notice
(“ Extension Notice ”) delivered by Tenant to
Landlord (and actually received by Landlord) no earlier than the
date which is twelve (12) months, and no later than the date
which is nine (9) months, prior to the expiration of the then
current Term of this Lease. If the Extension Notice is not so given
and received, the Extension Option shall automatically expire. As a
condition to the extension of the Lease Term pursuant to the
Extension Option, any prior Tenant that has not been expressly
released from liability under this Lease, and any guarantor of the
Tenant’s performance hereunder, must expressly reaffirm in
writing the extension of their liability for the Option
Term.
|
|
|
|
|
|
(c)
|
|
The
term “ fair market rental rate ” as used herein
shall mean the annual amount per rentable square foot, projected
during the relevant period, that a willing, comparable, non-equity
renewal tenant (excluding sublease, assignment and new tenant
transactions) would pay, and a willing, comparable landlord of a
comparable quality building located in the vicinity of the Building
would accept, at arm’s length (what Landlord is accepting in
current transactions for the Project may be considered), for space
unencumbered by any other tenant’s expansion rights and
comparable in size, quality and floor height as the leased area at
issue taking into account the age, quality and layout of the
existing improvements in the leased area at issue (with
consideration given to the fact that the improvements existing in
the Premises are specifically suitable to Tenant) and taking into
account items that professional real estate brokers customarily
consider in renewal transactions, including, but not limited to,
rental rates, office space availability, tenant size, refurbishment
allowances, operating expenses and allowance, parking charges, and
any other amounts then being charged by Landlord or the lessors of
such similar office buildings but specifically disregarding
concessions then being granted by comparable landlords to new
tenants in comparable buildings located in the vicinity of the
Building. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, the Monthly Basic Rent during the Option Term shall in no
event be less than the Monthly Basic Rent scheduled to be paid
during the month prior to the commencement of the Option
Term.
|
|
|
|
|
|
(d)
|
|
Landlord’s determination of
fair market rental rate shall be delivered to Tenant in writing not
later than thirty (30) days following Landlord’s receipt
of Tenant’s Extension Notice. Tenant will have five
(5) days (“ Tenant’s Review Period ”)
after receipt of Landlord’s notice of the fair market rental
rate within which to accept such fair market rental rate or to
object thereto in writing. Tenant’s failure to accept or
reject the fair market rental rate submitted by Landlord in writing
within Tenant’s Review Period will conclusively be deemed
Tenant’s approval thereof. If Tenant objects to the fair
market rental rate submitted by Landlord within Tenant’s
Review Period, then Landlord and Tenant will attempt in good faith
to agree upon such fair market rental rate. If Landlord and Tenant
fail to reach agreement on such fair market rental rate within ten
(10) days following the expiration of Tenant’s Review
Period, the Extension Option shall void and the Lease shall expire
at the end of the original Lease Term.
|
|
|
|
|
|
(e)
|
|
Notwithstanding anything above to
the contrary, the Extension Option is personal to the original
Tenant executing this Lease (“ Original Tenant
”) and may be exercised only by the Original Tenant (and not
any sublessee or other Transferee of Original Tenant’s
interest in this Lease) while occupying the entire Premises and may
not be exercised or be assigned, voluntarily or involuntarily, by
any person or entity other than the Original Tenant executing this
Lease. The Extension Option is not assignable separate and apart
from this Lease, nor may the Extension Option be separated from
this Lease in any manner, either by reservation or
otherwise.
|
|
|
|
|
|
(f)
|
|
Tenant shall have no right to
exercise the Extension Option, notwithstanding any provision of the
grant of the Extension Option to the contrary, (i) during the
time that Landlord has given Tenant a notice of default under the
terms of this Lease until the default identified in such notice is
cured, (ii) during the period of time commencing on the day
after a monetary obligation to Landlord is due from Tenant and
unpaid (without any necessity for notice thereof to Tenant)
continuing until the obligation is paid, (iii) at any time
after an event of default described in Sections 23.1(a)
, 23.1(d) , 23.1(e) or 23.1(f) (without any
necessity of Landlord to give notice of such default to Tenant), or
(iv) in the event that Landlord has given to Tenant three or
more notices of default under Paragraph 23.1(b) , where
a late charge has become payable under Paragraph 23.7
for each of such defaults, or three or more valid notices of
default under Paragraph 23.1(c) , whether or not the
defaults are cured, during the twelve (12) month period prior
to the time that Tenant intends to exercise the Extension Option.
The period of time within which the Extension Option may be
exercised shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of
Tenant’s inability to exercise the Extension Option because
of the provisions of Section 2.2(f) . If Landlord desires to
contend that clause (ii) of this Section 2.2(g)
applies to negate Tenant’s exercise of the Extension Option,
then, unless Landlord has given Tenant written notice of
Tenant’s failure to satisfy such monetary obligation,
Landlord must do so by providing Tenant with a notice of such
contention that specifies the basis thereof within thirty
(30) days after Tenant’s delivery of the Extension
Notice. Failure of Landlord to deliver such a notice (unless
Landlord has given Tenant written notice of Tenant’s failure
to satisfy such monetary obligation) within said thirty
(30) day period shall be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s
right to contend that clause (ii) of this
Section 2.2(g) applies to negate Tenant’s
exercise of the Extension Option.
|
2
|
(g)
|
|
The
Extension Option may, at Landlord’s option, be nullified by
Landlord and deemed of no further force or effect, if
(i) Tenant fails to pay to Landlord a monetary obligation of
Tenant for a period of thirty (30) days after such obligation
becomes due where Landlord has notified Tenant of such monetary
obligation, or (ii) Tenant fails to commence to cure a default
specified in Section 23.1(c) within 30 days after
the date that Landlord gives notice to Tenant of such default
and/or Tenant fails thereafter to diligently prosecute said cure to
completion, or (iii) Tenant commits a default described in
Section 23.1(a) , 23.1(d) , 23.1(e) or
23.1(f) (without any necessity of Landlord to give notice of
such default to Tenant), or (iv) Landlord gives to Tenant
three or more notices of default under
Paragraph 23.1(b) , where a late charge becomes payable
under Paragraph 23.7 for each such default, or three or
more notices of default under Paragraph 23.1(c) ,
whether or not the defaults are cured.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2.3
|
|
Early Access . Tenant shall be permitted to enter
the Premises prior to the Commencement Date (the “ Early
Access Period ”) for purposes of installing
Tenant’s cabling, security system, furniture, fixtures and
equipment; provided , however , that Tenant’s
entry into the Premises during the Early Access Period shall be
subject to and conditioned upon (i) Tenant’s coordination of
such entry with Landlord and Landlord’s general contractor(s)
so as not to delay Substantial Completion, (ii) Tenant
providing Landlord with copies of certificates of insurance,
complying in all respects with the terms of this Lease for all
insurance required to be provided hereunder prior to entering the
Premises, (iii) Tenant having obtained any and all
governmental approvals required for such access, and
(iv) Tenant complying with such restrictions and conditions on
such access which Landlord deems reasonably necessary (and Tenant
acknowledges and agrees that any restrictions and conditions
imposed by Landlord with the purpose of attempting to avoid any
delay in the Commencement Date shall be deemed reasonable). Such
access and the installation of such cabling, security system,
furniture, fixtures and equipment shall also be subject to all of
the terms and conditions of this Lease, including, without
limitation, the provisions of Sections 17 , 20 and
22 ; provided, however, that so long as Tenant does not
commence the operation of business from the Premises, Tenant will
not be obligated to pay Monthly Basic Rent or Excess Rent during
the Early Access Period,. In no event shall Tenant or
Tenant’s employees, agents, consultants, contractors or
invitees interfere with any construction being undertaken by or on
behalf of Landlord, nor with any inspections or issuance of final
approvals by any applicable governmental authority, and if Tenant
fails to cease such interference promptly after notice from
Landlord specifying the nature of such interference, Landlord shall
have the right to terminate Tenant’s access. Such access
shall not advance the Termination Date. Other than with respect to
the gross negligence of Landlord or Landlord’s contractors or
agents (but in no event shall Landlord be liable for any loss of
business, loss of profits or other consequential damages), Tenant
hereby releases and discharges Landlord and Landlord’s
employees, agents, consultants, contractors and manager from and
against any and all claims of loss, damage or injury to persons or
property, including without limitation any product inventory, which
is alleged to have occurred during the Early Access Period.
Landlord makes no representation or warranty about safety of the
Premises during the Early Access Period, as construction and other
activities may be ongoing.
|
|
3.1
|
|
Basic Rent . Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, as
basic rent for the Premises, the Monthly Basic Rent in the amounts
designated in Section 1.8 of the Summary. The Monthly
Basic Rent shall be paid by Tenant in monthly installments in the
amounts designated in Section 1.8 of the Summary in advance
on the first day of each and every calendar month during the Term,
without demand, notice, deduction or offset except that the first
full month’s Monthly Basic Rent shall be paid upon
Tenant’s execution and delivery of this Lease to Landlord.
Monthly Basic Rent for any partial month shall be prorated in the
proportion that the number of days this Lease is in effect during
such month bears to a thirty (30) day month. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, so long as a default by Tenant (after the giving of
any required notice and the expiration of any applicable cure
period) has not occurred, the Monthly Basic Rent for the first
sixty (60) days of the Lease Term shall be abated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3.2
|
|
Additional Rent
. All amounts and
charges payable by Tenant under this Lease in addition to the
Monthly Basic Rent described in Section 3.1 above
(including, without limitation, payments for insurance, repairs and
parking, and Excess Expenses, as defined in Section 4.3 )
shall be considered additional rent for the purposes of this Lease,
and the word “ rent “ in this Lease shall
include such additional rent unless the context specifically or
clearly implies that only the Monthly Basic Rent is referenced. The
Monthly Basic Rent and additional rent shall be paid to Landlord as
provided in Section 7 , without any prior notice or
demand therefor and without any deduction or offset whatever, in
lawful money of the United States of America (except for any rent
abatement described in the last sentence of Section 3.1
).

(k) maintenance, costs and upkeep of all parking and Common
Areas; (l) amortization on a straight-line basis over the

unamortized balance of all costs of a capital nature (including,
without limitation, capital improvements, capital replacements,
capital repairs, capital equipment and capital tools):
(1) intended to produce a reduction in operating charges or
energy consumption or effect other economies in the operation or

event shall costs for any item of utilities included in Operating
Expenses for any year subsequent to the Base Year be less than the
amount included in Operating Expenses for the Base Year for such
utility item. In addition, if in any calendar year subsequent to
the Base Year, the amount of Operating Expenses decreases due to a
reduction in the cost of providing utilities, security and/or other
services to the Project for any reason, including without
limitation, because of deregulation of the utility industry and/or
reduction in rates achieved in contracts with utilities and/or
service providers, then for purposes of the calendar year in which
such decrease in Operating Expenses occurred and all subsequent
calendar years, the Operating Expenses for the Base Year shall be
decreased by an amount equal to such decrease.

and/or the Building to the extent such Hazardous Materials are:
(1) in existence as of the Commencement Date and in violation

“ Cost Pools ”). Such Cost Pools may include,
without limitation, the office space tenants and industrial space
tenants of the Project or of a building or buildings in the
Project. Such Cost Pools may also include an allocation of certain
Operating Expenses within or under covenants, conditions and
restrictions affecting the Project. In addition, Landlord shall

Definition of Real Property Taxes
and Assessments . All Real Property Taxes and
Assessments shall be adjusted to reflect an assumption that the
Project is fully assessed for real property tax purposes as a
completed building(s) ready for occupancy. As used in this Lease,
the term “ Real Property Taxes and Assessments ”
shall mean: any form of assessment, license fee, license tax,
business license fee, commercial rental tax, levy, charge,
improvement bond, tax, water and sewer rents and charges, utilities
and communications taxes and charges or similar or dissimilar
imposition imposed by any authority having the direct power to tax,
including any city, county, state or federal government, or any
school, agricultural, lighting, drainage or other improvement or
special assessment district thereof, or any other governmental
charge, general and special, ordinary and extraordinary, foreseen
and unforeseen, which may be assessed against any legal or
equitable interest of Landlord in the Premises, Building, Common
Areas, Site or Project, including the following by way of
illustration but not limitation:
|
|
(a)
|
|
any
tax on Landlord’s “right” to rent or
“right” to other income from the Premises or as against
Landlord’s business of leasing the Premises;
|
|
(b)
|
|
any
assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge 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
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 be included within the definition
of “Real Property Taxes and Assessments” for the
purposes of this Lease;
|
|
(c)
|
|
any
assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge allocable to or measured by
the area of the Premises or other premises in the Building or the
rent payable by Tenant hereunder or other tenants of the Project,
including, without limitation, any gross receipts tax or excise tax
levied by state, city or federal government, or any political
subdivision thereof, with respect to the receipt of such rent, or
upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation,
management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by
Tenant of the Premises, or any portion thereof but not on
Landlord’s other operations;
|
|
(d)
|
|
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/or
|
|
(e)
|
|
any
assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge by any governmental agency
related to any transportation plan, fund or system (including
assessment districts) instituted within the geographic area of
which the Project is a part.
|
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if after the Commencement Date Real Property Taxes
and Assessments are reduced, then for purposes of all subsequent
calendar years including the calendar year in which the reduction
occurs, Landlord’s Contribution to Operating Expenses shall
be proportionately reduced. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Section 4.5 above to the contrary,
“ Real Property Taxes and Assessments “ shall
not include Landlord’s federal or state income, franchise,
inheritance or estate taxes.

4.6
|
|
Estimate Statement
. By the first day of
April of each calendar year during the Term of this Lease (after
the Base Year noted in Section 1.10 of the Summary) or
as soon thereafter as reasonably possible, Landlord shall endeavor
to deliver to Tenant a statement (“ Estimate Statement
”) estimating the Operating Expenses for the current calendar
year and the estimated amount of Excess Expenses payable by Tenant.
Landlord shall have the right no more than three (3) times in
any calendar year to deliver a revised Estimate Statement showing
the Excess Expenses for such calendar year if Landlord determines
that the Excess Expenses are greater than those set forth in the
original Estimate Statement (or previously delivered revised
Estimate Statement) for such calendar year. The Excess Expenses
shown on the Estimate Statement (or revised Estimate Statement, as
applicable) shall be divided into twelve (12) equal monthly
installments, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, concurrently with
the regular Monthly Basic Rent payment next due following the
receipt of the Estimate Statement (or revised Estimate Statement,
as applicable), an amount equal to one (1) monthly installment
of such Excess Expenses multiplied by the number of months from
January in the calendar year in which such statement is submitted
to the month of such payment, both months inclusive (less any
amounts previously paid by Tenant with respect to any previously
delivered Estimate Statement or revised Estimate Statement for such
calendar year). Subsequent installments shall be paid concurrently
with the regular monthly rent payments for the balance of the
calendar year and shall continue until the next calendar
year’s Estimate Statement (or current calendar year’s
revised Estimate Statement) is received.
|
|
4.7
|
|
Actual Statement
. By the first day of
April of each succeeding calendar year during the Term of this
Lease (after the Base Year, as defined in Section 1.10
of the Summary) or as soon thereafter as reasonably possible,
Landlord shall endeavor to deliver to Tenant a statement (“
Actual Statement ”) of the actual Operating Expenses
and Excess Expenses for the immediately preceding calendar year. If
the Actual Statement reveals that Excess Expenses were over-stated
or under-stated in any Estimate Statement (or revised Estimate
Statement) previously delivered by Landlord pursuant to
Section 4.6 above, then within thirty (30) days
after delivery of the Actual Statement, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord the amount of any such under-payment, or, Landlord shall
credit Tenant against the next monthly rent falling due, the amount
of such over-payment, as the case may be. Such obligation will be a
continuing one which will survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease. Prior to the expiration or sooner
termination of the Lease Term and Landlord’s acceptance of
Tenant’s surrender of the Premises, Landlord will have the
right to estimate the actual Operating Expenses for the then
current calendar year and to collect from Tenant prior to
Tenant’s surrender of the Premises, Tenant’s Percentage
of any excess of such actual Operating Expenses over the estimated
Operating Expenses paid by Tenant in such calendar year.
|
|
4.8
|
|
No Release . Any delay or failure by Landlord
in delivering any Estimate or Actual Statement pursuant to this
Section 4 shall not constitute a waiver of its right to
receive Tenant’s payment of Excess Expenses, nor shall it
relieve Tenant of its obligations to pay Excess Expenses pursuant
to this Section 4 , except that Tenant shall not be
obligated to make any payments based on such Estimate or Actual
Statement until ten (10) business days after receipt of such
statement.
|
|
4.9
|
|
Audit Rights . In the event Tenant disputes the
amount of the Operating Expenses set forth in the Actual Statement
for the particular calendar year delivered by Landlord to Tenant
pursuant to Section 4.7 above, Tenant shall have the
right, at Tenant’s cost, after reasonable notice to Landlord,
to have Tenant’s authorized employees or agents inspect, at
Landlord’s office during normal business hours,
Landlord’s books, records and supporting documents concerning
the Operating Expenses set forth in such Actual Statement;
provided, however, Tenant shall have no right to conduct such
inspection, have an audit performed by the Accountant as described
below, or object to or otherwise dispute the amount of the
Operating Expenses set forth in any such Actual Statement, unless
Tenant notifies Landlord of such objection and dispute, completes
such inspection, and has the Accountant commence and complete such
audit within six (6) months immediately following
Landlord’s delivery of the particular Actual Statement in
question (the “ Review Period ”); provided,
further, that notwithstanding any such timely objection, dispute,
inspection, and/or audit, and as a condition precedent to
Tenant’s exercise of its right of objection, dispute,
inspection and/or audit as set forth in this
Section 4.9 , 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 Section 4
in accordance with such Actual Statement. However, such payment may
be made under protest pending the outcome of any audit which may be
performed by the Accountant as described below. In connection with
any such inspection by Tenant, Landlord and Tenant shall reasonably
cooperate with each other so that such inspection can be performed
pursuant to a mutually acceptable schedule, in an expeditious
manner and without interference with Landlord’s operation and
management of the Building. If after such inspection and/or request
for documentation, Tenant still disputes the amount of the
Operating Expenses set forth in the Actual Statement, Tenant shall
have the right, within the Review Period, to cause an independent
certified public accountant which is not paid on a contingency
basis, which is mutually approved by Landlord and Tenant, and which
is not representing or performing auditing work for any other
tenant of the Project (the “ Accountant ”) to
complete an audit of Landlord’s books and records pertaining
to Operating Expenses to determine the proper amount of the
Operating Expenses incurred and amounts payable by Tenant for the
calendar year which is the subject of such Actual Statement. Such
audit by the Accountant shall be final and binding upon Landlord
and Tenant. If Landlord and Tenant cannot mutually agree as to the
identity of the Accountant within thirty (30) days after
Tenant notifies Landlord that Tenant desires an audit to be
performed, then the Accountant shall be one of the “Big
4” accounting firms, which is not paid on a contingency basis
and which is selected by Tenant and reasonably approved by
Landlord. If such audit reveals that Landlord has over-charged
Tenant, then within thirty (30) days after the results of such
audit are made available to Landlord, Landlord shall reimburse to
Tenant the amount of such over-charge. If the audit reveals that
the Tenant was under-charged, then within thirty (30) days
after the results of such audit are made available to Tenant,
Tenant shall reimburse to Landlord the amount of such under-charge.
Tenant agrees to pay the cost of such audit unless it is
subsequently determined that Landlord’s original Actual
Statement which was the subject of such audit was in error to
Tenant’s disadvantage by five percent (5%) or more of the
total Operating Expenses which was the subject of such audit. The
payment by Tenant of any amounts pursuant to this
Section 4 shall not preclude Tenant from questioning
the correctness of any Actual Statement provided by Landlord at any
time during the Review Period, but the failure of Tenant to object
thereto, conduct
|
7
|
|
|
and
complete its inspection and have the Accountant conduct and
complete the audit as described above prior to the expiration of
the Review Period shall be conclusively deemed Tenant’s
approval of the Actual Statement in question and the amount of
Operating Expenses shown thereon. In connection with any inspection
and/or audit conducted by Tenant pursuant to this
Section 4.9 , Tenant agrees to keep, and to cause all
of Tenant’s employees and consultants and the Accountant to
keep, all of Landlord’s books and records and the audit, and
all information pertaining thereto and the results thereof,
strictly confidential, and in connection therewith, Tenant shall
cause such employees, consultants and the Accountant to execute
such commercially reasonable confidentiality agreements as Landlord
may require prior to conducting any such inspections and/or
audits.

5.
Security Deposit . Tenant shall deposit with
Landlord, upon delivery of an executed copy of this Lease to
Landlord, a security deposit (the “ Security Deposit
”) for the performance of all of Tenant’s obligations
hereunder in the amount set forth in Section 1.11 of
the Summary; provided, however, that if no default under this Lease
by Tenant shall exist and be continuing as of the thirtieth
(30 th
) month of the Lease Term, the
Security Deposit shall be reduced to Seventy Thousand Dollars
($70,000) at the beginning of the thirtieth (30
th ) month of the Lease Term and Landlord shall
cooperate, at no expense to Landlord, in connection with an
amendment to the Letter of Credit to effectuate such reduction. The
Security Deposit shall be in the form of an unconditional and
irrevocable letter of credit (the “ Letter of Credit
”): (i) in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord,
(ii) naming Landlord as beneficiary, (iii) expressly
allowing Landlord to draw upon it at any time from time to time, in
whole or in part, by delivering to the issuer notice that Landlord
is entitled to draw thereunder, (iv) issued by an FDIC-insured
financial institution satisfactory to Landlord, and
(v) redeemable by presentation of a sight draft in the State
of Landlord’s choice. At least ten (10) days before the
stated expiration date of any then current Letter of Credit, Tenant
shall provide Landlord with a substitute Letter of Credit complying
with all of the requirements hereof. If Tenant does not provide
Landlord with a substitute Letter of Credit complying with all of
the requirements hereof at least ten (10) days before the
stated expiration date of any then current Letter of Credit,
Landlord shall have the right to draw the full amount of the
current Letter of Credit and hold the funds drawn in cash without
obligation for interest thereon as the Security Deposit. The
Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the
performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. The
Security Deposit is not an advance rental deposit or a measure of
Landlord’s damages in case of Tenant’s default. Upon
each occurrence of a default under this Lease by Tenant, Landlord
may use all or any part of the Security Deposit to pay delinquent
payments due under this Lease, and the cost of any damage, injury,
expense or liability caused by such default, without prejudice to
any other remedy provided herein or provided by law. Upon any such
use of all or any portion of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall pay
Landlord on demand the amount that will restore the Security
Deposit to the amount set forth on Page 1 of this Lease. Upon
bankruptcy or other debtor-creditor proceedings against Tenant,
(y) Landlord shall have the right to draw the full amount of
the current Letter of Credit and hold the funds drawn in cash
without obligation for interest thereon as the Security Deposit,
and (z) the Security Deposit shall be deemed to be applied
first to the payment of Rent and other charges due Landlord for
periods prior to the filing of such proceedings. If the credit
rating assigned to the long term unsecured debt of issuer of the
Letter of Credit by Standard & Poor’s rating services or
Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. has been reduced to BBB-/Baa3
or worse and Tenant has not provided Landlord with a substitute
Letter of Credit satisfying the conditions of this
Section 5 and issued by an FDIC-insured financial
institution satisfactory to Landlord within fifteen (15) days
thereafter, Landlord shall have the right to draw the full amount
of the current Letter of Credit and hold the funds drawn in cash
without obligation for interest thereon as the Security Deposit.
Upon any such use of all or any portion of the Security Deposit,
Tenant shall, within 5 days after demand from Landlord,
restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. If Te nant
shall fully perform every provision of this Lease to be performed
by Tenant, the Security Deposit, or any balance thereof (i.e.,
after deducting therefrom all amounts to which Landlord is entitled
under the provisions of this Lease), shall be returned to Tenant
(or, at Landlord’s option, to the last assignee of
Tenant’s interest hereunder) within sixty (60) days
after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease; provided
that Landlord may retain the Security Deposit until such time as
any amount due from Tenant in accordance with this Lease has been
determined and paid in full. If Landlord transfers its interest in
the Project or this Lease, Landlord shall either (a) transfer
any Security Deposit then held by Landlord to a person or entity
assuming Landlord’s obligations under this
Section 5 , or (b) return to Tenant any Security
Deposit then held by Landlord and remaining after the deductions
permitted herein. Upon such transfer to such transferee or the
return of the Security Deposit to Tenant, Landlord shall have no
further obligation with respect to the Security Deposit, and
Tenant’s right to the return of the Security Deposit shall

a trustee, and no interest shall accrue thereon. Tenant hereby

Civil Code. Tenant also waives the provisions of any law, now or
hereafter in force, which provide that Landlord may claim from a
security deposit only those sums reasonably necessary to remedy
defaults in the payment of Rent, to repair damage caused by Tenant
or to clean the Premises, it being agreed that Landlord may, in
addition, claim those sums reasonably necessary to compensate
Landlord for any other loss or damage, foreseeable or
unforeseeable, caused by the act or omission of Tenant or any
officer, employee, agent or invitee of Tenant.

satisfactory condition and repair. Tenant accepts the Premises, the
Building, the Site and the Project in their “then
as-is” condition as of the date hereof. Tenant also
acknowledges that, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this
Lease, neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any
representation or warranty with respect to the Premises, the
Building, the Site or the Project or their condition, or with
respect to the suitability thereof for the conduct of
Tenant’s business. The taking of possession of the Premises
by Tenant shall conclusively establish that the Project, the Site,
the Premises, the Tenant Improvements therein, the Building and the
Common Areas were at such time complete and in good, sanitary and
satisfactory condition and repair with all work required to be
performed by Landlord, if any, pursuant to Exhibit “C
” completed and without any obligation on Landlord’s
part to make any alterations, upgrades or improvements thereto;
provided, however, Landlord acknowledges that Tenant’s entry
into the Premises during the Early Access Period as set forth in

of the Premises for purposes of this Section with respect to the
condition of the Tenant Improvements or the satisfaction of
Landlord’s obligations set forth in Exhibit “C
.” Nothing contained in this Section 11.1 shall
limit or affect Landlord’s warranties set forth in Section

|
Landlord’s Repair

shall, as part of the Operating Expenses, repair, maintain and
replace, as necessary (a) the Building shell and other
structural portions of the Building (including the roof and
foundations), (b) the basic heating, ventilating, air
conditioning (“ HVAC ”), sprinkler and
electrical systems within the Building core and standard conduits,
connections and distribution systems thereof within the Premises
(but not any above standard improvements installed in the Premises
such as, for example, but by way of limitation, custom lighting,
special or supplementary HVAC or plumbing systems or distribution
extensions, special or supplemental electrical panels or
distribution systems, or kitchen or restroom facilities and
appliances to the extent such facilities and appliances are
intended for the exclusive use of Tenant), and (c) the Common
Areas; provided, however, to the extent such maintenance, repairs
or replacements are required as a result of any act, neglect, fault
or omission of Tenant or any of Tenant’s agents, employees,
contractors, licensees or invitees, Tenant shall pay to Landlord,
as additional rent, the costs of such maintenance, repairs and
replacements. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for failure to
perform any such maintenance, repairs or replacements, unless
Landlord shall fail to make such maintenance, repairs or
|
11
|
|
|
replacements and such failure shall
continue for an unreasonable time following written notice from
Tenant to Landlord of the need therefor. Without limiting the
foregoing, Tenant waives the right to make repairs at
Landlord’s expense under any law, statute or ordinance now or
hereafter in effect (including the provisions of California Civil
Code Section 1942 and any successive sections or statutes of a
similar nature). 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. Landlord
warrants to Tenant to Landlord’s actual knowledge that
(i) the Premises, in the state existing on the Commencement
Date, but without regard to alterations by Tenant or to the use for
which Tenant will occupy the Premises, does not violate any
covenants or restrictions of record, or any applicable building
code, regulation or ordinance in effect on the Commencement Date
and (ii) the building systems of the Project serving the
Premises, including, without limitation, the HVAC, are in good
operating condition as of the Commencement Date. In the event it is
determined that the foregoing warranties has been violated, then,
as Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy, it shall be the
obligation of the Landlord, after written notice from Tenant, to
promptly, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, rectify any
such violation or condition; provided, however, that if Tenant does
not give to Landlord written notice of the violation of these
warranties within thirty (30) from the Commencement Date, such
warranties shall be deemed to have been waived by the Tenant,
Tenant shall have no right to assert any claim, demand or defense
against Landlord or the enforcement of this Lease against Tenant as
a result of the conditions giving rise to such violation and the
correction of same shall be the obligation of Tenant at
Tenant’s sole cost; provided, however, without limitation
upon Tenant’s obligations to pay Excess Expenses, Tenant
shall only be responsible for the costs to correct the warranty
regarding building systems which serve the Premises
exclusively.

and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Tenant shall
replace, at its expense, any and all plate and other glass in and
about the Premises which is damaged or broken from any cause
whatsoever except due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of Landlord, its agents or employees and not covered by insurance

maintenance and repairs shall be performed with due diligence,
lien-free and in a first-class and workmanlike manner, by licensed
contractor(s) which are selected by Tenant and approved by
Landlord, which approval Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold
or delay. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease,
Landlord shall have no obligation to alter, remodel, improve,
repair, renovate, redecorate or paint all or any part of the
Premises.

terminate this Lease, by providing Landlord with notice of such
termination prior to January 15, 2007.

If
there shall be a delay or there are delays in the Substantial
Completion of the Premises as a direct, indirect, partial, or total
result of any acts or omissions of Tenant, or its agents, or
employees (collectively, “ Tenant Delays ”)
then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the
Lease and regardless of the actual date of the Substantial
Completion of the Premises, the Commencement Date (as set forth in
Section 1.7 of the Summary) shall be deemed to be the date the
Commencement Date would have occurred if no Tenant Delays, as set

contrary contained in the Lease, if an event of default by Tenant

(ii) all other obligations of Landlord under the terms of this
Section 11.4 shall be forgiven until such time as such default
is cured pursuant to the terms of this Lease (in which case, Tenant
shall be responsible for any delay in the Substantial Completion of
the Premises caused by such inaction by Landlord). In addition, if
the Lease is terminated prior to the Commencement Date, for any
reason due to a default by Tenant of this Lease, in addition to any
other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease, at law
and/or in equity, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent
under the Lease, within five (5) days of receipt of a
statement therefor, any and all
