ARTICLE 1
PREMISES, BUILDING, PROJECT, AND COMMON
AREAS
1.1 The
Premises . Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant
hereby leases from Landlord the premises (the
“Premises”) which are set forth in
Section 3 of the Summary of Basic Lease Information
above (the “Summary” ). The outline of the
Premises is set forth in Exhibit A attached
hereto. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that the
rentable square footage of the Premises shall be deemed to be as
set forth in Section 3 of the Summary and that the same
shall not be subject to re-measurement or modification. The parties
hereto agree that the lease of the Premises is upon and subject to
the terms, covenants and conditions herein set forth, and Tenant
covenants as a material part of the consideration for this Lease to
keep and perform each and all of such terms, covenants and
conditions by it to be kept and performed and that this Lease is
made upon the condition of such performance. The parties hereto
hereby acknowledge that the purpose of Exhibit A
is to show the approximate location of the Premises in the
“Building,” as that term is defined in
Section 1.2, below, only, and such Exhibit is not meant
to constitute an agreement, representation or warranty as to the
precise area of the Premises or the specific location of the
“Common Areas,” as that term is defined in Section
1.3, below, or the elements thereof or of the accessways to the
Premises or the “Project,” as that term is defined in
Section 1.2, below. Except as specifically set forth in
this Lease and in the Work Letter attached hereto as
Exhibit C , if applicable (the “Work
Letter”), Landlord shall not be obligated to provide or
pay for any improvement work or services related to the improvement
of the Premises or occupancy thereof by Tenant. Tenant also
acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has
made any representation or warranty regarding the condition of the
Premises, the Building or the Project or with respect to the
suitability of any of the foregoing for the conduct of
Tenant’s business and Tenant shall accept the Premise in its
“as-is” condition, except as specifically set forth in
this Lease and the Work Letter. Subject in each case to the
“Substantial Completion” of the “Tenant
Improvements” (as those terms are defined in Work Letter
attached hereto as Exhibit C), and Landlord’s completion
of any punch list items arising out of Landlord’s and
Tenant’s walk-through inspection of the Tenant Improvements
(as required under the Work Letter), (a) the taking of
possession of the Initial Premises by Tenant shall conclusively
establish that the Initial Premises and the Building were at such
time in good and sanitary order, condition and repair; and
(b) the taking of possession of the Must Take Premises by
Tenant, in the condition required for the Must Take Commencement
Date, shall conclusively establish that the Must Take Premises were
at such time in good and sanitary order, condition and
repair.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth herein: (i) Landlord hereby
covenants to use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the
Initial Premises to Tenant with the Tenant Improvements thereto
substantially completed in accordance with the Work Letter no later
than thirty (30) days after mutual execution of this Lease
(the “Estimated Initial Premises Delivery
Date”), and if Landlord fails to substantially complete
the Tenant Improvements for the Initial Premises and deliver the
Initial Premises to Tenant on or before sixty (60) days after
the Estimated Initial Premises Delivery Date (the “Initial
Premises Rent Credit Date”) for any reason other than
force majeure or Tenant Delays (as defined in the Work Letter),
Landlord shall not be in default but the Commencement Date shall be
delayed one (1) day for each day of such delay until Landlord
delivers possession of the Initial Premises to Tenant in accordance
with the requirements of this Lease; provided however, that if
Landlord fails to substantially complete the Tenant Improvements
for the Initial Premises and deliver the Initial Premises to Tenant
within sixty (60) days after the Initial Premises Rent Credit Date
for any reason other than force majeure or Tenant Delays, Landlord
shall not be in default but Tenant may as its sole and exclusive
remedy, upon written notice to Landlord prior to the date that
Landlord delivers possession of the Initial Premises to Tenant in
accordance with the requirements of this Lease, elect to terminate
this Lease, and upon any such termination this Lease shall be
deemed void and of no further force and effect, any obligations of
Landlord to Tenant or of Tenant to Landlord shall be deemed
cancelled, and Landlord shall promptly return to Tenant any prepaid
Rent or Letter of Credit then held by Landlord; and
(ii) Landlord hereby covenants to use commercially reasonable
efforts to deliver the Must Take Premises to Tenant (including,
without limitation, if reasonably necessary, timely instituting
unlawful detainer proceedings against the current tenant of the
Must Take Premises) with the Tenant Improvements thereto
substantially completed in accordance with the Work Letter no later
than March 1, 2009 (the “Estimated Must Take Premises
Delivery Date”), and in the event that Landlord has not
gained possession of the Must Take Premises, and substantially
completed the Tenant Improvements in the Must Take Premises and
delivered the Must Take Premises to Tenant on or before May 1,
2009, for any reason other than force majeure or Tenant Delays (as
defined in the Work Letter), Landlord shall not be in default but
Tenant shall be entitled to a day-for-day Rent credit with respect
to the Must Take Premises from and after the May 1, 2009 until
Landlord delivers possession of the Must Take Premises to Tenant in
accordance with the requirements of this Lease; provided, however,
that if Landlord has not gained possession of the Must Take
Premises, and substantially completed the Tenant Improvements in
the Must Take Premises and delivered the Must Take Premises to
Tenant on or before July 1, 2009, for any reason other than
force majeure or Tenant Delays (as defined in the Work Letter),
Landlord shall not be in default but Tenant may as its sole and
exclusive remedy, in Tenant’s sole discretion and upon
written notice to Landlord prior to the date that Landlord delivers
possession of the Must Take Premises to Tenant in accordance with
the requirements of this Lease, elect to terminate this Lease
either in its entirety or with respect to the Must Take Premises
only; and in the event Tenant elects to terminate this Lease with
respect to the Must Take Premises only, Tenant’s occupancy of
the Initial Premises shall not be affected by such termination, and
this Lease shall be amended as soon as reasonably possible by
Landlord and Tenant to delete the Must Take Premises from the
Premises. Upon any termination of the entire Lease resulting from
Landlord’s failure to deliver the Must Take Premises by the
outside date set forth above, this Lease shall be deemed void and
of no further force and effect, any obligations of Landlord to
Tenant or of Tenant to Landlord shall be deemed cancelled (other
than such obligations
1
which
specifically survive the termination of this Lease), and Landlord
shall promptly return to Tenant any prepaid Rent or Letter of
Credit then held by Landlord.
1.2 The
Building and The Project . The Premises are a part of the
building set forth in Section 2 of the Summary (the
“Building”). The term “Project ,
” as used in this Lease, shall mean (i) the
Building and the Common Areas, (ii) the land (which is
improved with landscaping, parking facilities and other
improvements) upon which the Building and the Common Areas are
located, and (iii) at Landlord’s discretion, any
additional real property, areas, land, buildings or other
improvements added thereto outside of the Project. Landlord shall
have the right from time to time in Landlord’s sole
discretion, to convert office space in the Project to retail and/or
residential space, or to convert retail and/or residential space in
the Project to office space; provided that no such conversion shall
materially affect Tenant’s rights under this Lease or
materially increase the costs of Tenant’s occupancy of the
Premises.
1.3 Common
Areas . Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use in
common with other tenants in the Project, and subject to the Rules
and Regulations set forth in Exhibit D . those
portions of the Project which are provided, from time to time, for
use in common by Landlord, Tenant and any other tenants of the
Project (such areas, together with such other portions of the
Project designated by Landlord, are collectively referred to herein
as the “Common Areas” ). The manner in which the
Common Areas are maintained and operated shall be at the reasonable
discretion of Landlord and shall be consistent with the standards
of maintenance and operations for the Project in effect as of the
Effective Date and the use thereof shall be subject to such rules,
regulations and restrictions as Landlord may make from time to
time. Landlord reserves the right to close temporarily, make
alterations or additions to, or change the location of elements of
the Project and the Common Areas (provided that Landlord shall use
commercially reasonable measures not to materially and adversely
affect Tenant’s access to or parking for the Premises by such
actions) and may temporarily close the Building or the Project in
the event of casualty, governmental requirements, the threat of an
emergency such as terrorism, natural disasters or acts of God, or
if Landlord reasonably deems it necessary in order to prevent
damage or injury to person or property.
ARTICLE 2
LEASE TERM/MUST TAKE PREMISES
2.1 Lease
Term . The terms and provisions of this Lease shall be
effective as of the date of this Lease. The term of this Lease (the
“Lease Term”) shall be as set forth in
Section 5 of the Summary, shall commence on the date set
forth in Section 6 of the Summary (the “Commencement
Date”), and shall expire on the date set forth in
Section 8 of the Summary (the “Expiration
Date” ) unless this Lease is sooner terminated as
hereinafter provided. For purposes of this Lease, the term “
Lease Year” shall mean each consecutive twelve
(12) month period during the Lease Term, provided that the
last Lease Year shall end on the Expiration Date. If Tenant, with
Landlord’s prior written approval, takes possession of the
Premises prior to the Commencement Date for the sole purpose of
performing any improvements therein or installing furniture,
fixtures, equipment or other personal property of Tenant, such
possession shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of
the Lease, except that Tenant shall not be required to pay Base
Rent only with respect to the period of time prior to the
Commencement Date during which Tenant performs such
work.
2.2 Delay
in Commencement Date . It is estimated by the parties that
the Lease Term for the Initial Premises will commence on thirty
(30) days after the mutual execution of this Lease and that
the Lease Term for the Must Take Premises will commence on
March 1, 2009 (in either event, the “Estimated
Commencement Date” ). The Estimated Commencement Date is
merely an estimate of the Commencement Date and, consequently,
Tenant agrees that Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for
any loss or damage, nor shall Tenant be entitled to terminate or
cancel this Lease if the Lease Term does not commence by the
Estimated Commencement Date for any reason whatsoever, and the
validity of this Lease shall not be impaired under such
circumstances; subject, however, to Tenant’s rights set forth
in Section 1.1 above. In addition, Tenant acknowledges and
agrees that nothing contained herein shall prohibit Landlord from
delivering the Initial Premises and/or Must Take Premises to Tenant
in accordance with the requirements of this Lease prior to the
applicable Estimated Commencement Date; provided, however, that in
the event Landlord elects, in its sole and absolute discretion, to
deliver the Must Take Premises prior to January 1, 2009, such
early deliver shall not result in the Must Take Commencement Date
occurring prior to such date unless Tenant, in its sole discretion,
elects to accept delivery of the Must Take Premises for
commencement of Tenant’s business operations therein prior to
such date.
2.3 Must
Take Premises . The Initial Premises shall be expanded to
include the Must Take Premises on the terms and conditions set
forth in this Section 2.3 . The term of Tenant’s
lease of the Must Take Premises shall commence on the date that
Landlord delivers possession of the Must Take Premises to Tenant
with Landlord’s Work in the Must Take Premises Substantially
Completed (the “Must Take Commencement Date” ).
Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the Must Take Premises is
currently leased to a third party (the “Existing
Tenant” ) which lease (the “Existing
Lease” ) does not expire until December 31, 2008 and
Landlord shall not commence construction of the Landlord’s
Work until the Existing Lease terminates and the Existing Tenant
vacates the Must Take Premises. Except as provided in
Section 1.1 above, Landlord shall have no liability to
Tenant for any loss or damage, nor shall Tenant be entitled to
terminate or cancel this Lease if the Existing Tenant does not
timely vacate the Must Take Premises, and the validity of this
Lease shall not be impaired under such circumstances. The term of
Tenant’s lease of the Must Take Premises shall expire on the
Expiration Date. From and after the Must Take Commencement Date,
(a) all references in this Lease to the term
“Premises” shall be deemed to refer to the Initial
Premises together with the Must Take Premises, (b) except as
provided in this Section 2.3 , all terms and conditions
of the Lease shall apply to the Must Take Premises as though the
Must Take Premises was originally part of the
2
Initial
Premises, (c) the Base Rent for the Must Take Premises shall
be as set forth in Section 10.2 of the Summary, and
(d) Tenant’s Pro Rata Share with respect to the Must
Take Premises shall be as set forth in Section 1.6 of
Exhibit B to this Lease. Additionally, Tenant
acknowledges that Landlord has not made any representation or
warranty with respect to the condition of the Must Take Premises,
the Building or the Project with respect to the suitability or
fitness of any of the same for the conduct of Tenant’s
permitted use, its business or for any other purpose except as
specifically set forth elsewhere in this Lease or the Work
Letter.
2.4
Commencement Date Memoranda . Within thirty
(30) days following each of the Lease Commencement Date and
the Must Take Commencement Date, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a
notice in the form as set forth in Exhibit E attached hereto
with respect to the Initial Premises and the Must Take Premises,
respectively, as a confirmation only of the information set forth
therein, which Tenant shall execute and return to Landlord within
ten (10) business days of receipt thereof; provided, however,
Tenant’s failure to execute and return such notice to
Landlord within such time shall be conclusive upon Tenant that the
information set forth in such notice is as specified
therein.
2.5
Pre-Term Possession . As the Tenant Improvements are
constructed in the Initial Premises and in the Must Take Premises
by Landlord, Landlord shall notify Tenant when the applicable
portion of the Premises is ready for installation of Tenant’s
furniture, trade fixtures, equipment and cabling to support
Tenant’s intended use and occupancy thereof at least ten
(10) business days prior to the applicable Commencement Date
(the “Tenant’s Work” ). Tenant may
thereupon enter the Premises for such purposes at its own risk, to
make such improvements as Tenant shall have the right to make, to
install fixtures, supplies, inventory and other property without
interfering with Landlord’s Work, and Landlord shall
reasonably cooperate with Tenant in the performance of
Landlord’s Work. Such entry shall be subject to all of the
terms and conditions of the Lease, other than the obligation to pay
Rent with respect to the period of time prior to the applicable
Commencement Date.
Tenant shall pay,
without prior notice, demand, setoff or deduction, to Landlord or
Landlord’s agent at the address set forth in
Section 11 of the Summary, or, at Landlord’s
option, at such other place as Landlord may from time to time
designate in writing, by a check for currency which, at the time of
payment, is legal tender for private or public debts in the United
States of America, base rent (“Base Rent”) as
set forth in Section 10 of the Summary, payable in
equal monthly installments as set forth in Section 10
of the Summary in advance on or before the first (1
st ) day of each and every calendar month during
the Lease Term, without any abatement, setoff or deduction
whatsoever. In accordance with Section 29.25, this
Article 3 shall be construed as though the covenants
herein between Landlord and Tenant are independent and Tenant shall
not be entitled to any setoff of the Rent or other amounts owing to
Landlord under this Article 3 . The Base Rent for the
Initial Premises for the first full month of the Lease Term which
occurs after the expiration of any free rent period shall be paid
at the time of Tenant’s execution of this Lease. If any Rent
payment date (including either the Lease Commencement Date or the
Must Take Commencement Date) falls on a day of the month other than
the first day of such month or if any payment of Rent is for a
period which is shorter than one month, the Rent for any fractional
month shall be calculated on a daily basis for the period from the
date such payment is due to the end of such calendar month or to
the end of the Lease Term at a rate per day which is equal to
l/30 th
of the applicable monthly Rent. All
other payments or adjustments required to be made under the terms
of this Lease that require proration on a time basis shall be
prorated on the same basis.
ARTICLE 4
ADDITIONAL RENT
In addition to
paying the Base Rent specified in Article 3 of this
Lease, Tenant shall pay “Tenant’s Share” (as
defined in Exhibit B ) of (a) the annual
“Operating Expenses” (as defined in
Exhibit B ) which are in excess of the amount of
Operating Expenses applicable to the “Base Year” (as
defined in Exhibit B ). and (b) the annual
“Tax Expenses” (as defined in
Exhibit B ) which are in excess of the amount of
Tax Expenses applicable to the Base Year; provided, however, that
in no event shall any decrease in “Direct Expenses” (as
defined in Exhibit B ) for any Expense Year
below Direct Expenses for the Base Year entitle Tenant to any
decrease in Base Rent or any credit against sums due under this
Lease. Such payments by Tenant, together with any and all other
amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the terms of this
Lease (other than Base Rent), are hereinafter collectively referred
to as the “Additional Rent” , and the Base Rent
and the Additional Rent are herein collectively referred to as
“Rent.” All amounts due under this
Article 4 as Additional Rent shall be payable for the
same periods and in the same manner as the Base Rent or as
otherwise specifically set forth in this Lease. The obligations of
Tenant to pay the Additional Rent provided for in this
Article 4 shall survive the expiration of the Lease
Term for a period not to exceed one (1) year; provided,
however, that the one (1) year period shall not apply to
assessments for Tax Expenses received by Landlord after such one
(1) year period.
ARTICLE 5
USE OF PREMISES
5.1
Permitted Use . Tenant shall use the Premises solely for
the Permitted Use set forth in Section 13 of the
Summary and Tenant shall not use or permit the Premises or the
Project to be used for any other purpose or purposes whatsoever
without the prior written consent of Landlord, which may be
withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion. Tenant shall, at its
own cost and expense, obtain and maintain any and all
licenses,
3
permits, and
approvals necessary or appropriate for its use, occupation and
operation of the Premises for the Permitted Use. Tenant’s
inability to obtain or maintain any such license, permit or
approval necessary or appropriate for its use, occupation or
operation of the Premises shall not relieve it of its obligations
under this Lease, including the obligation to pay Base Rent and
Additional Rent. Tenant further covenants and agrees that Tenant
shall not use, or suffer or permit any person or persons to use,
the Premises or any part thereof for any use or purpose contrary to
provisions of the Rules and Regulations set forth in
Exhibit D. attached hereto (as the same may be
modified or rescinded from time to time), or in violation of laws
of the United States of America, the state in which the Project is
located, the ordinances, rules, regulations or requirements of the
local municipal or county governing body or other lawful
authorities having jurisdiction over the Project, or all recorded
covenants, conditions, and restrictions now or hereafter affecting
the Project including, without limitation, any certificate of
occupancy, any such laws, ordinances, regulations or requirements
relating to hazardous materials or substances, as those terms are
defined by applicable laws now or hereafter in effect
(collectively, the “ Law(s) ”). A violation of
the Rules and Regulations by Tenant shall be deemed a default under
this Article 5 Tenant shall not do or permit anything
to be done in or about the Project which will in any way damage the
reputation of the Project or obstruct or interfere with the rights
of other tenants or occupants of the Project, or injure or annoy
them or use or allow the Project to be used for any improper,
unlawful or objectionable purpose, nor shall Tenant cause, maintain
or permit any nuisance in, on or about the Premises.

requesting such service at least four (4) hours prior to the
time Tenant requests such service to be provided. If Landlord
furnishes HVAC service during Overtime Periods, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord the then established Building rates for such service
during Overtime Periods in the Building upon demand
thereof.
(b) Landlord
shall redistribute or furnish electricity to or for the use of
Tenant in the Premises for the operation of Tenant’s ordinary
and customary lighting and office equipment in the Premises
reasonably necessary for typical general office use and in
compliance with applicable codes. Tenant shall bear the cost of

standard lighting fixtures within the Premises.
(c) Landlord
shall provide potable water from the regular Building outlets for
drinking, lavatory and toilet purposes in the Building Common

Landlord, as additional rent, the reasonable costs incurred by
Landlord in removing from the Building any of Tenant’s refuse
and rubbish to the extent exceeding the amount of refuse and
rubbish usually generated by a tenant that uses the Premises for
ordinary office purposes. Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall
exterminate the portions of the Premises that Tenant uses for the
storage, preparation, service or consumption of food against
infestation by insects and vermin regularly and, in addition,
whenever there is evidence of infestation. Tenant shall engage
persons to perform such exterminating that are approved by
Landlord, which approval Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold,
condition or delay. Tenant shall cause such persons to perform such
exterminating in a manner that is reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord. Tenant shall comply with any refuse disposal program
(including, without limitation, any waste recycling program) that
Landlord imposes reasonably after having given Tenant reasonable
advance notice of the effectiveness thereof or that is required by
applicable Laws.
(e) Landlord
shall provide nonexclusive, non-attended automatic passenger
elevator service during the Building Hours only (excluding Holidays

6.2
Overstandard Tenant Use . If Tenant uses water,
electricity, heat or air conditioning materially in excess of that
supplied by Landlord pursuant to Section 6.1 of this
Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon billing, the cost of such
excess consumption, the cost of the installation, operation, and
maintenance of equipment which is installed in order to supply such
excess consumption, and the cost of the increased wear and tear on
existing equipment caused by such excess consumption; and Landlord
may install devices to separately meter any such material increased
use and in such event Tenant shall pay the increased cost directly
to Landlord, on demand, at the rates charged by the public utility
company furnishing the same, including the cost of such additional
metering devices. Tenant’s use of electricity shall never
exceed the capacity of the feeders to the Project or the risers or
wiring installation.
6.3
Interruption of Use . Except as otherwise provided in
this Section 6.3 below, and to the extent permitted by
applicable Law, 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,
telecommunication, water and sewer, HVAC, and electrical 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, by any riot or other dangerous
condition, emergency, accident or casualty whatsoever, by act,
omission or default of Landlord or other parties, or by any other
cause; and such failures or delays or diminution shall never be
deemed to constitute an eviction (constructive or otherwise) 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. Tenant hereby waives any existing or
future Law, permitting the termination of this Lease due to an
interruption, failure or inability to provide any services.
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 6 .
Landlord may comply with voluntary controls or guidelines
promulgated by any governmental entity relating to the use or
conservation of energy, water, gas, light or electricity or the
reduction of automobile or other emissions without creating any
liability of Landlord to Tenant under this Lease. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event that Tenant is prevented from using,
and does not use, the Premises or any portion thereof, as a result
of (i) any repair, maintenance or alteration performed by
Landlord, or which Landlord failed to perform as required by this
Lease, which materially and adversely interferes with
Tenant’s use of or ingress to or egress from the Premises; or
(ii) any failure by Landlord to provide the services or
utilities specified to be provided by Landlord in this Lease as a
result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its
employees, agents or contractors; or (iii) the presence of any
Hazardous Substance brought on the Premises by Landlord, its
employee, agents or contractors, to the extent such presence
materially and adversely interferes with Tenant’s use of or
ingress to or egress from the Premises (any such set of
circumstances as set forth in items (i) through (iii), above,
to be known as an “Abatement Event”), then Tenant shall
give Landlord Notice of such Abatement Event, and if such Abatement
Event continues for ten (10) consecutive business days after
Landlord’s receipt of any such Notice (the
“Eligibility Period” ), then as Tenant’s
sole remedy vis-à-vis such Abatement Event, Tenant may elect
to abate or reduce, as the case may be, the Base Rent and
Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses after expiration of the
Eligibility Period for 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 area of the portion of
the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use
(“Unusable Area” ), bears to the total rentable
area of the Premises. Such right to abate Base Rent and
Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses shall be Tenant’s
sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity for an Abatement
Event. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge that, in addition to
the abatement rights set forth in this Section 6.3,
Tenant’s additional abatement rights following an event of
damage and destruction or condemnation are provided in Articles 11
and 13 of this Lease, which are not affected by this
Section 6.3.
7.1
Tenant’s Obligations . Except as otherwise
provided in this Lease, Landlord shall have no maintenance
obligation concerning the Premises and no obligation to make any
repairs or replacements, in, on, or to the Premises. Subject to
Landlord’s obligations under Section 7.2 below, and
Article 11 and Article 13 hereof, Tenant
shall, at Tenant’s own expense, pursuant to and in accordance
with the terms of this Lease, including without limitation
Article 8 hereof, keep the non-structural components of
the Premises, including all improvements, fixtures and furnishings
therein, and the floor or floors of the Building on which the
Premises are located, in good order, repair and condition at all
times during the Lease Term (including, electrical and mechanical
systems not considered part of the “Building Systems”
(as defined below) that have been installed for the exclusive use
and benefit of Tenant such as additional HVAC equipment, hot water
heaters, electronic, data, phone, and other telecommunications
cabling and related equipment, and security or telephone systems
for the Premises). Tenant shall not commit or allow to be committed
any waste on any portion of the Premises. In addition, Tenant
shall, at Tenant’s own expense, but under the supervision and
subject to the prior written approval of Landlord, and within any
reasonable period of time specified by Landlord, pursuant to the
terms of this Lease, including without
5
limitation
Article 8 hereof, promptly and adequately repair all
damage to the Premises and replace or repair all damaged, broken,
or worn fixtures and appurtenances, except for damage caused by
ordinary wear and tear; provided however, that, at Landlord’s
option, or if Tenant fails to make such repairs within the time and
in the manner required by this Lease, Landlord may, but need not,
make such repairs and replacements, and Tenant shall pay Landlord
upon demand the cost thereof, including a percentage of the cost
thereof sufficient to reimburse Landlord for all overhead, general
conditions, fees and other costs or expenses arising from
Landlord’s involvement with such repairs and replacements
forthwith upon being billed for same. Landlord may, but shall not
be required to, enter the Premises at all reasonable times to make
such repairs, alterations, improvements or additions to the
Premises or to the Project or to any equipment located in the
Project as Landlord shall desire or deem necessary or as Landlord
may be required to do by governmental or quasi-governmental
authority or court order or decree.
7.2
Landlord’s Obligations . Subject to
Article 11 and Article 13 hereof, and
except for Tenant’s maintenance and repair obligations set
forth in Section 7.1 above, Landlord shall maintain and
make all necessary repairs to and replacements of (a) the
“Building Systems” that service the Premises,
(b) the structural portions of the Building, (c) the roof
of the Building, and (d) within a reasonable period following
receipt of notice of the need for repair and replacement from
Tenant, the exterior walls and windows of the Premises. Landlord
shall have sole responsibility for the repair or replacement of any
and all defects or defective components, patent or latent, of the
Landlord’s Work (for a period of one (1) year after the
Lease Commencement Date with respect to the Initial Premises and
for a period of one (1) year after the Must Take Commencement
Date with respect to the Must Take Premises), the Building Systems
and the structural portions of the Building, and any and all
defects, latent or patent, attributable to Landlord’s repairs
to or replacement of any Building System or any structural
component of the Building. The term “Building
Systems” shall mean the service systems of the Building,
including, without limitation, the mechanical, gas, steam,
electrical, sanitary, HVAC, elevator, plumbing, and life-safety
systems of the Building up to the point of connection of localized
distribution to the Premises (it being understood that the Building
Systems shall not include any systems that Tenant installs in the
Premises). Nothing contained in this Section 7.2 shall
require Landlord to maintain or repair the systems within the
Premises that distribute within the Premises electricity, HVAC or
water. Except as provided in Article 11 , there shall
be no abatement of Rent, nor shall there be any liability of the
“Landlord Parties” (as defined below), by reason of any
injury to, or damage suffered by Tenant, including without
limitation, any inconvenience to, or interference with,
Tenant’s business or operations arising from the making of,
or failure to make, any maintenance or repairs, alterations or
improvements in or to any portion of the Building and/or the
Project. Tenant hereby waives the benefit of any Laws granting it
the right to make repairs at Landlord’s expense, to place a
lien upon the property of Landlord and/or upon Rent due Landlord,
or the right to terminate this Lease or withhold Rent on account of
any Landlord default (including without limitation, the failure of
Landlord to make repairs). No provision of this Lease shall be
construed as obligating Landlord to perform any repairs,
alterations or improvements to the Premises or the Project except
as otherwise expressly agreed to be performed by Landlord pursuant
to the provisions of this Lease.
ARTICLE 8
ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS
8.1
Landlord’s Consent to Alterations . Tenant may not
make any improvements, alterations, additions or changes in or to
the Premises or any mechanical, plumbing or HVAC facilities or
systems pertaining to the Premises (collectively, the
“Alterations”) without first procuring the prior
written consent of Landlord to such Alterations. Landlord’s
consent to Alternations shall be requested by Tenant not less than
thirty (30) days prior to the commencement thereof, and which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld by Landlord, provided it
shall be deemed reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to
any Alteration which affects the structural portions or the
Building Systems or is visible from the exterior of the Building or
Common Areas or requires access to areas outside the Premises.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to
obtain Landlord’s consent for repainting, recarpeting,
installing systems, furniture or other alterations, tenant
improvements, alterations or physical additions to the Premises
which are cosmetic in nature totaling less than Twenty Five
Thousand Dollars ($25,000) in any single instance or series of
related alterations performed within a six-month period (provided
that Tenant shall not perform any improvements, alterations or
additions to the Premises in stages as a means to subvert this
provision), in each case provided that (a) Tenant delivers to
Landlord written notice thereof, a list of contractors and
subcontractors to perform the work (and certificates of insurance
for each such party) and any plans and specifications therefor
prior to commencing any such Alterations (for informational
purposes only so long as no consent is required by Landlord as
required by this Lease), (b) the installation thereof does not
require the issuance of any certificate of occupancy, building
permit or other governmental approval, or involve any core drilling
or the configuration or location of any exterior walls of the
Building, and (c) such Alterations will not affect the
structural portions or the systems or equipment of the Building, or
be visible from the exterior of the Building or Common Areas or
require access to the areas outside the Premises. The construction
of the initial improvements to the Premises shall be governed by
the terms of the Work Letter and not the terms of this
Article 8 .
8.2 Manner
of Construction . Landlord may impose, as a condition of
its consent to any and all Alterations or repairs of the Premises
or about the Premises, such requirements as Landlord in its sole
discretion may deem desirable, including, but not limited to, the
requirement that (a) Tenant utilize for such purposes only
contractors, subcontractors, materials, mechanics and materialmen
selected by Tenant from a list provided and approved by Landlord,
(b) subject to the following sentence, upon Landlord’s
request, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, remove such
Alterations upon the expiration or any early termination of the
Lease Term, (c) Tenant secure, prior to commencing any
Alterations, at Tenant’s sole expense, a completion and lien
indemnity bond or some alternate form of security satisfactory to
Landlord in an amount sufficient to ensure the lien-free completion
of such Alterations and naming Landlord as a co-obligee, and
(d) all Alterations conform in terms of quality and
6
style to the
Building’s standards established by Landlord from time to
time. In the event that Tenant desires to determine whether or not
it shall be responsible for removing any Alteration it proposes to
construct or have constructed in the Premises, Tenant shall send a
notice in writing to Landlord, at the time it requests
Landlord’s consent to any Alteration, requesting that
Landlord inform it whether or not Tenant will have the
responsibility for removing the proposed Alteration upon the
expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term and restoring
the Premise to the condition existing prior to the installation of
the Alteration, normal wear and tear excepted; and (y) in the
event that Landlord responds to Tenant in writing in the
affirmative, Tenant shall have the obligation to remove the
proposed Alteration upon the expiration or earlier termination of
the Lease Term and to restore the Premise to the condition existing
prior to the installation of the Alteration, normal wear and tear
excepted, or (z) in the event that Landlord fails to respond
within fifteen (15) days after Tenant’s request for such
determination, Tenant shall not be obligated to remove the proposed
Alteration upon the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease. If such Alterations will involve the use of or disturb
Hazardous Substances existing in the Premises, Tenant shall comply
with Landlord’s rules and regulations concerning such
Hazardous Substances. Tenant shall construct such Alterations and
perform such repairs in a good and workmanlike manner, in
conformance with any and all applicable Laws and pursuant to a
valid building permit or other governmental approval issued by the
city or county, as applicable, in which the Project is located, all
in conformance with Landlord’s construction rules and
regulations as established from time to time. In the event Tenant
performs any Alterations in the Premises which require or give rise
to governmentally required changes to the “Base
Building,” as that term is defined below, then Landlord
shall, at Tenant’s expense, make such changes to the Base
Building. The “Base Building” shall include the
structural portions of the Building, and the public restrooms,
Building Systems and the systems and equipment located in the
internal core of the Building on the floor or floors on which the
Premises are located. In performing the work of any such
Alterations, Tenant shall have the work performed in such manner so
as not to obstruct access to the Project or any portion thereof, by
any other tenant of the Project, and so as not to obstruct the
business of Landlord or other tenants in the Project. Tenant shall
not use (and upon notice from Landlord shall cease using)
contractors, services, workmen, labor, materials or equipment that,
in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, would disturb labor
harmony with the workforce or trades engaged in performing other
work, labor or services in or about the Building or the Common
Areas. All portions of the work involving excessive noise or
inconvenience to other users of the Project shall be done after
Building Hours. In addition to Tenant’s obligations under
Article 9 of this Lease, upon completion of any
Alterations, Tenant agrees to deliver to the Project management
office a reproducible copy of the “as built” drawings
of the Alterations in CADD format as well as all permits, approvals
and other documents issued by any governmental agency in connection
with the Alterations.
8.3 Payment
for Improvements . If payment is made directly to
contractors, Tenant shall comply with Landlord’s requirements
for final lien releases and waivers in connection with
Tenant’s payment for work to contractors. Whether or not
Tenant orders any work directly from Landlord, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the cost of such
work to compensate Landlord for all overhead, general conditions,
fees and other costs and expenses arising from Landlord’s
involvement with such work. Tenant shall pay promptly to Landlord,
upon demand, all out-of-pocket costs actually incurred by Landlord
in connection with Tenant’s Alterations, including costs
incurred in connection with (a) Landlord’s review of the
Alterations (including review of requests for approval thereof) and
(b) the provision of Building personnel during the performance
of any Alteration, to operate elevators or otherwise to facilitate
Tenant’s Alterations.
8.4
Construction Insurance . In addition to the requirements
of Article 10 of this Lease, in the event that Tenant
makes any Alterations, prior to the commencement of such
Alterations, Tenant shall provide Landlord (a) with evidence
that Tenant carries “Builder’s All Risk”
insurance in an amount reasonably approved by Landlord covering the
construction of such Alterations, and (b) certificates of,
(1) worker’s compensation insurance in amounts not less
than the statutory limits (covering all persons to be employed by
Tenant, and Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors, in
connection with such Alterations), and (2) commercial general
liability insurance (including property damage and bodily injury
coverage), in each case in customary form, and in amounts that are
not less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) with respect to
general contractors and One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) with
respect to subcontractors, naming the Landlord, its lender, if any,
and its property manager as additional insureds, it being
understood and agreed that all of such Alterations shall be insured
by Tenant pursuant to Article 10 of this Lease
immediately upon completion thereof.
8.5
Supplemental HVAC Installations . Tenant shall not have
the right to install a supplementary HVAC system from the Premises
without Landlord’s consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. In no event shall any vents or
louvers associated with any supplementary HVAC system be installed
on the exterior of the Building. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, Landlord hereby acknowledges and agrees
that Tenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to
use the supplementary HVAC system currently located and installed
in the server closet in the Must-Take Premises during the Lease
Term, provided, however, that Tenant acknowledges and agrees that
it is accepting such supplementary HVAC system in its as-is,
where-is condition and that Landlord has not made any
representations or warranties of any kind with respect to such
supplementary HVAC system, and provided further, that, in the event
that either (a) there is no supplementary HVAC located in the
server closet in the Must-Take Premises or (b) the
supplementary HVAC located in the server closet in the Must-Take
Premises is insufficient, in Tenant’s reasonable opinion, to
satisfy Tenant’s needs, then Tenant shall have the right, at
Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to install a supplementary
HVAC unit in either the Initial Premises or the Must-Take Premises,
subject to Landlord’s prior written approval of plans and
specifications for same.
8.6 Federal
Visual Artists’ Rights Act of 1990 . Tenant agrees
that Tenant will not install, affix, add or paint in or on, nor
permit, any work of visual art (as defined in the Federal Visual
Artists’ Rights Act of
7
1990 or any
successor law of similar import) or other Alterations to be
installed in or on, or affixed, added to, or painted on, the
interior or exterior of the Premises, or any part thereof, which
work of visual art or other Alterations would, under the provisions
of the Federal Visual Artists’ Rights Act of 1990, or any
successor law of similar import, require the consent of the author
or artist of such work or Alterations before the same could be
removed, modified, destroyed or demolished. "
ARTICLE 9
COVENANT AGAINST LIENS
Tenant shall keep
the Project and Premises free from any liens or encumbrances
arising out of the work performed, materials furnished or
obligations incurred by or on behalf of Tenant, and shall protect,
defend, indemnify and hold the Landlord Parties harmless from and
against any Claims arising out of same or in connection therewith.
Tenant shall give Landlord notice at least ten (10) days prior
to the commencement of any such work on the Premises (or such
additional time as may be necessary under applicable Laws) to
afford Landlord the opportunity of posting and recording
appropriate notices of non-responsibility or other applicable
notices. Tenant shall discharge and release any such lien or
encumbrance by bond or otherwise within twenty (20) days after
notice by Landlord, and if Tenant shall fail to do so, Landlord may
pay the amount necessary to discharge and release such lien or
encumbrance, without being responsible for investigating the
validity thereof. The amount so paid shall be deemed Additional
Rent under this Lease payable upon demand, without limitation as to
other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease. Nothing
contained in this Lease shall authorize Tenant to do any act which
shall subject Landlord’s title to the Project or Premises to
any liens or encumbrances whether claimed by operation of Law or
express or implied contract. Any claim to a lien or encumbrance
upon the Project or Premises arising in connection with any such
work or respecting the Premises not performed by or at the request
of Landlord shall be null and void, or at Landlord’s option
shall attach only against Tenant’s interest in the Premises
and shall in all respects be subordinate to Landlord’s title
to the Project, Building and Premises. Landlord hereby acknowledges
and agrees that any and all of Tenant’s movable furniture,
furnishings, equipment and trade fixtures at the Premises
(collectively, “Tenant’s Property”) may be
financed by a third-party lender or lessor (an “Equipment
Lienor”), and to the extent so financed Landlord hereby
(a) agrees to waive any rights to Tenant’s Property, and
(b) agrees to recognize the rights of any such Equipment
Lienor, subject to and in accordance with a commercially reasonable
waiver agreement to be entered into by and between Landlord and the
Equipment Lienor following request by Tenant. Tenant shall pay
Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs in
negotiating any such waiver agreement to be entered into by and
between Landlord and the Equipment Lienor.
ARTICLE 10
INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE
10.1
Indemnification and Waiver . To the extent not
prohibited by law and except as otherwise specifically provided
herein, Tenant hereby assumes all risk of damage to property or
injury to persons in, upon or about the Premises from any cause
whatsoever and agrees that Landlord, its property manager, managing
agents, investors, officers, partners, subpartners, members,
managers, lenders (including, without limitation, any trustee,
mortgagee or holder of any trust indenture, deed of trust or
mortgage which now or hereafter encumbers the Building and/or
Project), ground lessors and their respective officers, agents,
servants, employees, and independent contractors (collectively,
“Landlord Parties”) shall not be liable for, and
are hereby released from any responsibility for, any damage either
to person or property or resulting from the loss of use thereof,
which damage is sustained by Tenant or by other persons claiming
through Tenant. To the extent permitted under applicable Law, and
subject to the waiver of subrogation set forth in
Section 10.5 below, Tenant shall indemnify, defend,
protect, and hold harmless the Landlord Parties from any and all
losses, costs, damages, actions, causes of actions, proceedings,
liens, fines, penalties, expenses and liabilities (including
without limitation court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees
incurred in connection with the proceeding whether at trial or on
appeal) (collectively, “Claims’) incurred in
connection with or arising from any cause in, on or about the
Premises during the Lease Term, any violation of any of Laws during
the Lease Term, including, without limitation, any environmental
Laws, any negligent acts or omissions of Tenant or of any person
claiming by, through or under Tenant, or of the contractors,
agents, servants, employees, invitees, guests or licensees of
Tenant or any such person, in, on or about the Project or any
breach of the terms of this Lease, either prior to, during, or
after the expiration of the Lease Term. However, notwithstanding
the foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to indemnify and/or
hold any of the Landlord Parties harmless from any Claims to the
extent resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of any
of the Landlord Parties, except to the extent Landlord is covered
for any such Claims as an additional insured under Tenant’s
liability insurance required to be maintained under
Section 10.3 below. Should Landlord be named as a
defendant in any suit brought against Tenant in connection with or
arising out of Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord its costs and expenses incurred in such suit,
including without limitation, its actual professional fees such as
appraisers’, accountants’ and attorneys’ fees.
The provisions of this Section 10.1 shall survive the
expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.
10.2
Tenant’s Compliance With Landlord’s Fire and
Casualty Insurance . Tenant shall, at Tenant’s
expense, comply with all insurance company requirements pertaining
to the use of the Premises; provided that such requirements shall
not interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises for the
Permitted Use and shall be consistent with insurance company
requirements generally applicable to the South San Francisco
market. If Tenant’s conduct or use of the Premises for any
use other than the Permitted Use causes any increase in the premium
for such insurance policies then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord
for any such increase as Additional Rent. Tenant, at Tenant’s
expense, shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations or
requirements of the American Insurance Association (formerly the
National Board of Fire Underwriters) and with any similar
body.
8
10.3
Tenant’s Insurance . Tenant shall maintain the
following coverages in the following amounts:
(a) Commercial
General Liability Insurance payable on an “occurrence”
rather than a “claims made” basis covering the insured
against claims of bodily injury, personal injury and property
damage (including loss of use thereof) arising out of
Tenant’s operations, and contractual liabilities (covering
the performance by Tenant of its indemnity agreements, but subject
to the limitations on coverage set forth below) containing coverage
at least as broad as that provided under the then most current
Insurance Services Office (ISO) commercial general liability
insurance form which provides the broadest coverage, including a
Broad Form endorsement covering the insuring provisions of this

the expense of Tenant, (ii) all improvements made to the
Premises by Landlord pursuant to the terms of the Work Letter, and
(iv) all other Alterations made to the Premises by or on behalf of
Tenant. In no event shall Tenant be obligated to insure the Base
Building, the Building Systems or the leasehold improvements in and
to the Premises which existed in the Premises as of the
Commencement Date (the “Original Improvements”).
As long as Tenant is not in Default under this Lease, Tenant may
elect to self-insure its personal property and trade fixtures
located in the Premises. Such insurance shall be written on an
“all risks” of physical loss or damage basis, for the
full replacement cost value (subject to reasonable deductible
amounts) new without deduction for depreciation of the covered
items and in amounts that meet any co-insurance clauses of the
policies of insurance and shall include coverage for damage or
other loss caused by fire or other peril including, but not limited
to, vandalism and malicious mischief, terrorism, earthquake
sprinkler leakage, theft, water damage of any type, including
sprinkler leakage, bursting or stoppage of pipes, and explosion,
and providing business interruption coverage sufficient to pay Base
Rent and Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses for a period of
one year, and having a deductible amount, if any, not in excess of
$25,000.
(c) Employer’s
Liability or other similar insurance pursuant to all applicable
state and local statutes and regulations with limits of no less
than $1,000,000.00.
(d) Worker’s
Compensation as required by the Laws of the State where the
Building is located with the following minimum limits of liability:
Coverage A — statutory benefits; Coverage B —
$1,000,000 per accident and disease.
(e) Comprehensive
Automobile Liability insuring bodily injury and property damage
arising from all owned, non-owned and hired vehicles, if any, with
minimum limits of liability of $1,000,000 per accident.
10.4 Form
of Policies . The minimum limits of policies of insurance
required of Tenant under this Lease shall in no event limit the
liability of Tenant under this Lease. Such insurance shall
(i) name Landlord Parties, and any other party the Landlord so
specifies who has a security interest in the Project and/or
Landlord’s direct or indirect interests therein, as an
additional insured; (ii) specifically cover the liability
assumed by Tenant under this Lease, including, but not limited to,
Tenant’s obligations under Section 10.1 of this
Lease; (iii) be issued by an insurance company having a rating
of not less than A-VIII in Best’s Insurance Guide or which is
otherwise acceptable to Landlord and authorized to do business in
the State where the Building is located; (iv) be primary
insurance as to all claims thereunder and provide that any
insurance carried by Landlord is excess and is non-contributing
with any insurance requirement of Tenant; (v) be in form and
content reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and (vi) provide
that said insurance shall not be canceled or coverage changed
unless thirty (30) days’ prior written notice
(10 days for non-payment of premiums) shall have been given to
Landlord and any mortgagee of Landlord (provided that if
Tenant’s insurance carrier is only willing to endeavor to
provide such advance notice, such requirement shall not be a Tenant
default under this Lease). Tenant shall deliver certificates
thereof to Landlord on or before the Commencement Date and at least
thirty (30) days before the expiration dates thereof. In the
event Tenant shall fail to procure such insurance, or to deliver
such certificate, Landlord may, at its option, procure such
policies for the account of Tenant, and the cost thereof shall be
paid to Landlord within five (5) days after delivery to Tenant
of bills therefor. Tenant shall have the right to provide the
casualty insurance required by this Article 10 pursuant
to blanket policies, but only if such blanket policies expressly
provides, on a per occurrence basis, that a loss that relates to
any other location does not impair or reduce the level of
protection available for the Premises below the amount required by
this Lease. Tenant may not self-insure against any risks required
to be covered by insurance provided by Tenant hereunder without
Landlord’s prior written consent. Tenant has the right to
satisfy Tenant’s obligation to carry liability insurance with
an umbrella insurance policy if such umbrella insurance policy
contains an aggregate per location endorsement that provides the
required level of protection for the Premises.
10.5
Subrogation . Landlord and Tenant intend that their
respective property loss risks shall be borne by reasonable
insurance carriers to the extent above provided, and Landlord and
Tenant hereby agree to look solely to, and seek recovery only from,
their respective insurance carriers in the event of a property loss
to the extent that such coverage is agreed to be provided
hereunder. The parties each hereby waive all rights and claims
against each other for such losses, and waive all rights of
subrogation of their respective insurers, for damage to its
properties and loss of business (specifically including loss of
rent by Landlord and business interruption by Tenant) as a result
of the acts or omissions of the other party or the other
party’s employees, agents, or contractors
(specifically
9
including the
negligence of either party or its employees, agents, or contractors
and the intentional misconduct of the employees, agents, or
contractors of either party), to the extent any such claims are
covered by the workers’ compensation, employer’s
liability, property, rental income, business income, or extra
expense insurance required to be maintained by Landlord and Tenant
pursuant to this Lease, or other property insurance that either
party may carry at the time of an occurrence, provided such waiver
of subrogation shall not affect the right to the insured to recover
thereunder. The parties agree that their respective insurance
policies are now, or shall be, endorsed such that the waiver of
subrogation shall not affect the right of the insured to recover
thereunder, so long as no material additional premium is charged
therefor.
10.6
Additional Insurance Obligations . Tenant shall carry
and maintain during the entire Lease Term, at Tenant’s sole
cost and expense, increased amounts of the insurance required to be
carried by Tenant pursuant to this Article 10 and such
other reasonable types of insurance coverage and in such reasonable
amounts covering the Premises and Tenant’s operations
therein, as may be reasonably requested by Landlord but in no event
shall such increased amounts of insurance or such other reasonable
types of insurance be in excess of that generally required by
landlords of buildings of similar age and condition as the Building
located in the vicinity of the Project in South San Francisco;
provided, further, however, that in no event may Landlord increase
the amounts of the insurance required to be carried by Tenant
hereunder more than once in any three (3) year
period.
10.7
Landlord’s Insurance . During the Lease Term,
Landlord shall obtain and keep in full force and effect insurance
against loss or damage by fire and other casualty to the Building,
to the extent insurable on commercially reasonable terms under then
available standard forms of “all-risk” insurance
policies, in an amount equal to the replacement value thereof or,
at Landlord’s option, in such lesser amount as will avoid
co-insurance (such insurance being referred to herein as
“Landlord’s Property Policy”), and with
deductible amounts reasonably selected by Landlord, as well as such
other insurance as reasonably deemed necessary by Landlord. Tenant
acknowledges that (i) Landlord’s Property Policy may
encompass rent insurance, (ii) the risks that Landlord’s
Property Policy covers may include, without limitation, fire, war,
terrorism, environmental matters, and flood, and
(iii) Landlord may also obtain a commercial general liability
insurance policy.
ARTICLE 11
DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION
11.1 Repair
of Damage to Premises by Landlord . Tenant shall promptly
notify Landlord of any damage to the Premises resulting from fire
or any other casualty (“Casualty”). If the (a)
Premises, (b) any Common Areas serving or providing access to
the Premises, or (c) Building Systems servicing the Premises
shall be damaged by Casualty, and Landlord or Tenant does not elect
to terminate this Lease in accordance with the terms below,
Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable
delays for insurance adjustment or other matters beyond
Landlord’s reasonable control, and subject to all other terms
of this Article 11 and all applicable Laws, restore the
damaged portions of the Base Building, such Common Areas and/or
such Building Systems. Such restoration shall be to substantially
the same condition of the Base Building and the Common Areas prior
to the Casualty, except for modifications required by zoning and
building codes and other Laws or by the holder of a mortgage on the
Building or Project or any other modifications to the Common Areas
deemed desirable by Landlord, provided that access to the Premises
and any common restrooms serving the Premises shall not be
materially impaired. Upon the occurrence of any Casualty to the
Premises, and provided that this Lease is not terminated by
Landlord or Tenant pursuant to the express provisions of this
Lease, upon notice (the “Landlord Repair
Notice”) to Tenant from Landlord, Tenant shall assign to
Landlord (or to any party designated by Landlord) all insurance
proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant’s insurance required
under Section 10.3 of this Lease, and Landlord shall
also repair any injury or damage to the Tenant Improvements and the
Original Improvements installed in the Premises and shall return
such Tenant Improvements and Original Improvements to their
original condition; provided that if the cost of such repair by
Landlord exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds received by
Landlord from Landlord’s insurance carrier and from
Tenant’s insurance carrier, as assigned by Tenant, the cost
of such repairs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord prior to
Landlord’s commencement of repair of the damage. In the event
that Landlord does not deliver the Landlord Repair Notice within
thirty (30) days following the date the casualty becomes known
to Landlord, Landlord shall assign to Tenant all insurance proceeds
payable to Landlord with respect to the Original Improvements and
Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, repair any injury or
damage to the Tenant Improvements and the Original Improvements
installed in the Premises and shall return such Tenant Improvements
and Original Improvements to their original condition. In such
case, Tenant may use its insurance proceeds for such purpose.
Whether or not Landlord delivers a Landlord Repair Notice, prior to
the commencement of construction, Tenant shall submit to Landlord,
for Landlord’s review and approval, all plans, specifications
and working drawings relating thereto, and Landlord shall select
the contractors to perform such improvement work. Landlord shall
not be liable for any inconvenience to Tenant or its visitors, or
injury to Tenant’s business resulting in any way from such
damage or the repair thereof; provided however, that if such
Casualty shall have damaged the Premises or Common Areas necessary
to Tenant’s occupancy, Landlord shall allow Tenant a
proportionate abatement of Rent during the time and to the extent
the Premises are unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted
under this Lease, and not occupied by Tenant as a result thereof;
provided, further, however, that if the damage or destruction is
due to the act or omission of Tenant or any of its agents,
employees, contractors, invitees or guests, Tenant shall be
responsible for any reasonable, applicable insurance deductible
(which shall be payable to Landlord upon demand).
11.2
Landlord’s Option to Repair . Notwithstanding the
terms of Section 11.1 of this Lease, Landlord may elect
not to rebuild and/or restore the Premises, Building and/or
Project, and instead terminate this Lease, by notifying Tenant in
writing of such termination within sixty (60) days after the
date of discovery of the
10
damage, such
notice to include a termination date giving Tenant sixty
(60) days to vacate the Premises, but Landlord may so elect
only if the Building or Project shall be damaged by Casualty or
cause, whether or not the Premises are affected, and one or more of
the following conditions is present: (i) in Landlord’s
reasonable judgment, repairs cannot reasonably be completed within
one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of discovery of
the damage (when such repairs are made without the payment of
overtime or other premiums); (ii) the holder of any mortgage
on the Building or Project or ground lessor with respect to the
Building or Project shall require that the insurance proceeds or
any portion thereof be used to retire the mortgage debt, or shall
terminate the ground lease, as the case may be; (iii) the
damage is not fully covered by Landlord’s insurance policies;
(iv) Landlord decides to rebuild the Building or Common Areas
so that they will be substantially different structurally or
architecturally; (v) the damage occurs during the last twenty
four (24) months of the Lease Term; or (vi) the Project
is substantially damaged so that, in Landlord’s reasonable
judgment, substantial reconstruction of the Project will be
required.
11.3
Tenant’s Termination Right . If a portion of the
Premises, Building Systems servicing the Premises or Common Areas
providing access to the Premises is damaged by Casualty such that
Tenant is prevented from conducting its business in the Premises in
a manner reasonably comparable to that conducted immediately before
such Casualty and Landlord estimates that the damage caused thereby
cannot be repaired within twelve (12) months after the date of
discovery of such damage (the “Repair Period“),
or if the repairs are not reasonably likely to be completed until
the last nine (9) months of the Lease Term have commenced,
then Tenant may terminate this Lease by delivering written notice
to Landlord of its election to terminate within thirty (30) days
after Landlord delivers to Tenant a good faith estimate (the
“Damage Notice”) of the time needed to repair
the damage caused by such Casualty. If neither party elects to
terminate this Lease following a Casualty pursuant to the terms of
this Article 11 , and if Landlord does not complete the
restoration of the Premises within the greater of (a) twelve
(12) months following the Casualty or (b) sixty
(60) days after the time period estimated by Landlord to
repair the damage caused by such Casualty as specified in the
Damage Notice, as the same may be extended by delays caused by
Tenant, its agents or employees, Tenant may terminate this Lease by
delivering written notice (“Damage Termination
Notice”) to Landlord within ten (10) days following
the expiration of such twelve (12) month or 60-day period, as
applicable (as the same may be extended as set forth above) and
prior to the date upon which Landlord substantially completes such
restoration. Such termination shall be effective as of the date
specified in Tenant’s Damage Termination Notice (but not
earlier than thirty (30) days nor later than ninety
(90) days after the date of such notice) as if such date were
the date fixed for the expiration of the Lease Term. If Tenant
fails to timely give such Damage Termination Notice, Tenant shall
be deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Lease, time
being of the essence with respect thereto.
11.4 Waiver
of Statutory Provisions . The provisions of this Lease,
including this Article 11 , constitute an express
agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all
damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the Premises, the
Building or the Project, and any statute or regulation of the State
where the Building is located with respect to any rights or
obligations concerning damage or destruction in the absence of an
express agreement between the parties, and any other statute or
regulation, now or hereafter in effect, shall have no application
to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of
the Premises, the Building or the Project. The rights given Tenant
under this Article 11 are in lieu of and override any
rights that Tenant may have by statute or under other applicable
Laws.
No provision of
this Lease shall be deemed waived by either party hereto unless
expressly waived in a writing signed thereby. The waiver by either
party hereto of any breach of any term, covenant or condition
herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any
subsequent breach of same or any other term, covenant or condition
herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of Rent hereunder by
Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach
by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease,
regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach
at the time of acceptance of such Rent. No acceptance of a lesser
amount than the Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed a waiver of
Landlord’s right to receive the full amount due, nor shall
any endorsement or statement on any check or payment or any letter
accompanying such check or payment be deemed an accord and
satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without
prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the full amount due.
No receipt of monies by Landlord from Tenant after an event of
default shall in any way alter the length of the Lease Term or of
Tenant’s right of possession hereunder, or after the giving
of any notice shall reinstate, continue or extend the Lease Term or
affect any notice given Tenant prior to the receipt of such monies,
it being agreed that after the service of notice or the
commencement of a suit, or after final judgment for possession of
the Premises, Landlord may receive and collect any Rent due, and
the payment of said Rent shall not waive or affect said notice,
suit or judgment.
If the whole or
any part of the Project shall be taken by power of eminent domain
or condemned by any competent authority for any public or
quasi-public use or purpose, or if any adjacent property or street
shall be so taken or condemned, or reconfigured or vacated by such
authority in such manner as to require the use, reconstruction or
remodeling of any part of the Premises, Building or Project, or if
Landlord shall grant a deed or other instrument in lieu of such
taking by eminent domain or condemnation, Landlord shall have the
option to terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession
is required to be surrendered to the authority. If more
than
11
twenty-five
percent (25%) of the rentable square feet of the Premises is taken,
or if access to the Premises is impaired to the extent that it
substantially affects operation of Tenant’s business in the
Premises, in each case for a period in excess of one hundred eighty
(180) days or for a period which extends into the last nine
(9) months of the Lease Term, Tenant shall have the option to
terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is
required to be surrendered to the authority. Tenant shall not
because of such taking assert any claim against Landlord or the
authority for any compensation because of such taking and Landlord
shall be entitled to the entire award or payment in connection
therewith, except that Tenant shall have the right to file any
separate claim available to Tenant for any taking of Tenant’s
personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant and removable by
Tenant upon expiration of the Lease Term pursuant to the terms of
this Lease, and for moving expenses, so long as such claims do not
diminish the award available to Landlord, its ground lessor with
respect to the Building or Project or its mortgagee, and such claim
is payable separately to Tenant. All Rent shall be apportioned as
of the date of such termination. If any part of the Premises shall
be taken, and this Lease shall not be so terminated, the Rent shall
be proportionately abated. No rental abatement shall be granted
Tenant for a loss of parking spaces or for the loss of any other
portion of the Common Areas, Tenant recognizing that Tenant’s
right to use parking spaces and the Common Areas in common with
Landlord’s other tenants does not vest in Tenant any
leasehold or other ownership interest in any of the parking spaces
or Common Areas. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Article 13 , in the event of a temporary taking
of all or any portion of the Premises for a period of one hundred
eighty (180) days or less, then this Lease shall not terminate
but the Base Rent and the Additional Rent shall be abated for the
period of such taking in proportion to the ratio that the amount of
rentable square feet of the Premises taken bears to the total
rentable square feet of the Premises. Landlord shall be entitled to
receive the entire award made in connection with any such temporary
taking.
ARTICLE 14
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
14.1
Transfers . Tenant shall not (whether directly or
indirectly or voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of Law
or otherwise), without the prior written consent of Landlord,
assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, or permit any lien
to attach to, or otherwise transfer, this Lease or any interest
hereunder, permit any assignment, or other transfer of this Lease
or any interest hereunder by operation of Law, sublet the Premises
or any part thereof, amend or modify any sublease that is
consummated in accordance with the terms of this Article 14,
permit a subtenant under a sublease that is consummated in
accordance with the terms of this Article 14 to further
sublease the Premises or any part thereof or to assign the
subtenant’s interest under any such sublease in whole or in
part by express assignment or by operation of Law or by other
means, permit the Premises, or any portion thereof to be use for
desk space, mailing privileges or otherwise, or enter into any
license or concession agreements or otherwise permit the occupancy
or use of the Premises or any part thereof by any persons other
than Tenant and its employees and contractors (all of the foregoing
are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as
“Transfers” and any person to whom any Transfer
is made or sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes referred to
as a “Transferee”). If Tenant desires
Landlord’s consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall notify
Landlord in writing, which notice (the “Transfer
Notice”) shall include (i) the proposed effective
date of the Transfer, which shall not be less than thirty
(30) days nor more than one hundred eighty (180) days
after the date of delivery of the Transfer Notice, (ii) a
description of the portion of the Premises to be transferred (the
“Subject Space”), (iii) all of the terms of
the proposed Transfer and the consideration therefor, including
calculation of the “Transfer Premium”, as that term is
defined in Section 14.3 below, in connection with such
Transfer, the name and address of the proposed Transferee, and an
executed copy of all documentation effectuating the proposed
Transfer, and (iv) current financial statements of the
proposed Transferee certified by an officer, partner or owner
thereof, business credit and personal references and history of the
proposed Transferee and any other information required by Landlord.
Any Transfer made without Landlord’s prior written consent
shall, at Landlord’s option, be null, void and of no effect,
and shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute a default by
Tenant under this Lease. Whether or not Landlord consents to any
proposed Transfer, Tenant shall not be released from any liability
or obligations under this Lease and Tenant shall pay
Landlord’s review and processing fees, as well as any
reasonable professional fees (including, without limitation,
attorneys’, accountants’, architects’,
engineers’ and consultants’ fees) incurred by Landlord
(collectively, the “Transfer Review Fees”),
within thirty (30) days after written request by Landlord not
to exceed $2,500.00 per proposed Transfer. Concurrently with
delivering a Transfer Notice to Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord an amount equal to $1,000.00, which amount constitutes an
advance against the Transfer Review Fees. Tenant shall not
structure any proposed Transfer in such a way as to subvert
Landlord’s consent rights, recapture rights and/or rights to
receive the “Transfer Premium” (as defined
below).
14.2
Landlord’s Consent . Landlord shall not
unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed sublease or
assignment constituting a Transfer of the Subject Space to the
Transferee on the terms specified in the Transfer Notice. Tenant
shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord from any and all
Claims involving any third party or parties who claim they were
damaged by Landlord’s wrongful withholding or conditioning of
Landlord’s consent.
14.3
Transfer Premium . If Landlord consents to a Transfer,
as a condition thereto which the parties hereby agree is
reasonable, Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of any
“Transfer Premium,” as that term is defined in this
Section 14.3. as and when received by Tenant from such
Transferee. “Transfer Premium” shall mean all
Rent, Additional Rent or other consideration payable by such
Transferee in connection with the Transfer in excess of the Rent
and Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease during the
term of the Transfer on a per rentable square foot basis if less
than all of the Premises is transferred, after deducting the
reasonable expenses incurred by Tenant for (i) any free base
rent reasonably provided to the Transferee, (ii) any brokerage
commissions, legal fees and architectural fees in connection with
the Transfer, and (iii) in the case of any
12
sublease, any
actual costs incurred by Tenant in separately demising the
subleased space. “Transfer Premium” shall also include,
but not be limited to, key money, bonus money or other cash
consideration paid by Transferee to Tenant in connection with such
Transfer, and any payment in excess of fair market value for
services rendered by Tenant to Transferee or for assets, fixtures,
inventory, equipment, or furniture transferred by Tenant to
Transferee in connection with such Transfer. In the calculations of
the Rent (as it relates to the Transfer Premium calculated under
this Section 14.3 ). and the rent charged by Tenant to
the Transferee (the “Transferee’s Rent” )
the Rent paid during each annual period for the Subject Space and
the Transferee’s Rent shall be computed after adjusting such
rent to the actual effective rent, taking into consideration any
and all leasehold concessions granted in connection therewith,
including, but not limited to, any rent credit and tenant
improvement allowance. For purposes of calculating any such
effective rent all such concessions shall be amortized on a
straight-line basis over the relevant term.
14.4
Landlord’s Option as to Recapture Space .
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Article 14, Landlord shall have the option, by giving
written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt
of any Transfer Notice, to recapture the Subject Space. Such
recapture notice shall cancel and terminate this Lease with respect
to the Subject Space as of the later of (i) the date stated in
the Transfer Notice as the effective date of the proposed Transfer,
and (ii) ninety (90) days following the giving of the
recapture notice, until the last day of the term of the Transfer as
set forth in the Transfer Notice (or at Landlord’s option,
shall cause the Transfer to be made to Landlord or its agent, in
which case the parties shall execute the Transfer documentation
promptly thereafter). In the event of a recapture by Landlord, if
this Lease shall be canceled with respect to less than the entire
Premises, the Rent reserved herein shall be prorated on the basis
of the number of rentable square feet retained by Tenant in
proportion to the number of rentable square feet contained in the
Premises, and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in
full force and effect, and upon request of either party, the
parties shall execute written confirmation of the same. Landlord
shall be permitted, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, to
construct or cause to be constructed a demising wall separating
that portion of the Premises recaptured by Landlord from that
portion of the Premises retained by Tenant; provided that Landlord
shall endeavor to minimize the impact on Tenant’s business in
the Premises arising from any such construction performed during
normal business hours. If Landlord declines, or fails to elect in a
timely manner, to recapture, sublease or take an assignment of the
Subject Space under this Section 14.4, then, Tenant shall be
entitled to proceed to transfer the Subject Space to the proposed
Transferee, subject to provisions of this
Article 14.
14.5 Effect
of Transfer . No Transfer relating to this Lease or
agreement entered into with respect thereto, whether with or
without Landlord’s consent, shall relieve Tenant or any
guarantor of the Lease from any liability or obligation under this
Lease, including, without limitation, in connection with the
Subject Space. Landlord or its authorized representatives shall
have the right at all reasonable times to audit the books, records
and papers of Tenant relating to any Transfer, and shall have the
right to make copies thereof. If the Transfer Premium respecting
any Transfer shall be found understated, Tenant shall, within ten
(10) days after demand, pay the deficiency, and if understated
by more than two percent (2%), Tenant shall pay Landlord’s
costs of such audit.
14.6
Additional Transfers . For purposes of this Lease, the
term “Transfer” shall also include (a) any
change, transfer, sale, pledge or hypothecation in twenty-five
percent (25%) or more of the equity or ownership interests in or
assets of Tenant, (b) the dissolution, merger, consolidation
or reorganization of Tenant, or (c) the transfer of
“Control” (as defined below), however
accomplished, whether in a single transaction or in a series of
unrelated or related transactions. The term
“Control” shall mean the possession of power to
direct or cause the direction of the day-to-day operations and/or
the management and policy of Tenant, whether through the ownership
of voting securities, by statute or by contract.
14.7
Permitted Transfers . Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Article 14 , an assignment
or subletting of all or a portion of the Premises (a
“Permitted Transfer”) to an affiliate of Tenant
(an entity which is controlled by, controls, or is under common
control with, Tenant, an “Affiliate”), shall not
require Landlord’s written consent under this
Article 14, provided that Tenant gives fifteen
(15) days prior notice of any such assignment or sublease and
promptly supplies Landlord with any documents or information
requested by Landlord regarding such assignment or sublease or such
affiliate, and further provided that such assignment or sublease is
not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this
Lease. “Control,” as used in this
Section 14.7 , shall mean the ownership, directly or
indirectly, of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting
securities of, or possession of the right to vote, in the ordinary
direction of its affairs, of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of
the voting interest in, any person or entity.
14.8
Occurrence of Default . Any Transfer hereunder shall be
subordinate and subject to the provisions of this Lease, and if
this Lease shall be terminated during the term of any Transfer,
Landlord shall have the right to: (i) treat such Transfer as
cancelled and repossess the Subject Space by any lawful means, or
(ii) require that such Transferee attorn to and recognize
Landlord as its landlord under any such Transfer. If Tenant shall
be in default under this Lease, Landlord is hereby irrevocably
authorized, as Tenant’s agent and attorney-in-fact, to direct
any Transferee to make all payments under or in connection with the
Transfer directly to Landlord (which Landlord shall apply towards
Tenant’s obligations under this Lease) until such default is
cured. Such Transferee shall rely on any representation by Landlord
that Tenant is in default hereunder, without any need for
confirmation thereof by Tenant. Upon any assignment, the assignee
shall assume in writing all obligations and covenants of Tenant
thereafter to be performed or observed under this Lease. No
collection or acceptance of rent by Landlord from any Transferee or
the posting or listing of any name other than that of Tenant
(whether on the door or exterior wall of the Premises, lobby
directory, elevator or elsewhere) shall be deemed a waiver of any
provision of this Article 14 or the approval of any
Transferee or a release of Tenant from any obligation under
this
13
Lease, whether
theretofore or thereafter accruing. In no event shall
Landlord’s enforcement of any provision of this Lease against
any Transferee be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to
enforce any term of this Lease against Tenant or any other person.
If Tenant’s obligations hereunder have been guaranteed,
Landlord’s consent to any Transfer shall not be effective
unless the guarantor also consents in writing to such
Transfer.
14.9
Transfer Taxes . Tenant shall pay any transfer taxes
(and other similar charges and fees) that any governmental
authority imposes in connection with any Transfer (including,
without limitation, any such transfer taxes, charges or fees that a
governmental authority imposes in connection with Landlord’s
exercising Landlord’s rights to recapture the Subject Space
in accordance with Section 14.4 above.
14.10
Additional Occupants . Notwithstanding any contrary
provision of this Lease, Tenant may, upon written notice to
Landlord, permit up to a total of ten percent (10%) of the Premises
to be occupied by (a) licensees and vendors providing
“out-sourced” services to Tenant’s business
operation in the Premises, and (b) persons performing services
pursuant to a joint venture or other business alliance with Tenant
(each, a “Permitted Occupant” and collectively,
the “Permitted Occupants” ); provided, however,
(i) such Permitted Occupant shall not occupy a separately
demised portion of the Premises which contains an entrance to such
portion of the Premises other than the primary entrance to the
Premises; (ii) all Permitted Occupants shall be of a character
