THIS OFFICE LEASE AGREEMENT
(the “Lease”) is made and entered into
as of the 25th day of April, 2003, by and between
CA-SEAPORT CENTRE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Delaware

|

Basic Lease Information.
|
|
|
A.
|
“Building” shall mean the building
located at 900 Saginaw Drive, Redwood City, California, and
commonly known as 900 Saginaw Drive.
|
|
|
B.
|
“Buildings of the Campus” shall mean the
buildings in Redwood City, California, located at 300 Saginaw
Drive, 400 Saginaw Drive, 500 Saginaw Drive, 600 Saginaw Drive, 700
Saginaw Drive, 800 Saginaw Drive and 900 Saginaw Drive.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant agree that the
definition of Buildings of the Campus may change from time to time
in the event Landlord elects to add or remove buildings as more
fully described in Section below, in which case Tenant’s Pro
Rata Share shall be adjusted as provided in Section I.F
below.
|
|
|
C.
|
“Rentable Square Footage of the Campus”
is deemed to be 287,399
square feet. The Rentable Square Footage of the
Campus is determined by combining the total building square
footages of the Buildings of the Campus.
|
|
|
D.
|
“Premises” shall mean the area shown
on Exhibit A-1 to this Lease. The Premises are located on the first (1
st ) and second (2 nd) floors of the Building
and known as suite numbers 100 and 200. The “Rentable Square
Footage of the Premises” is deemed to be
31,062 square feet,
consisting of 20,708
square feet on the first (1 st ) floor
and known as Suite 100, as more particularly shown on
Exhibit A-1 (the “First Floor Premises”),
and 10,354 square feet on the second (2 nd ) floor and known as
Suite 200, as more particularly shown on Exhibit A-1 (the
“Second Floor Premises”). If the Premises include one
or more floors in their entirety, all corridors and restroom
facilities located on such full floor(s) shall be considered part
of the Premises, Landlord and Tenant stipulate and agree that the
Rentable Square Footage of the Building and the Rentable Square
Footage of the Premises are correct and shall not be remeasured.
Notwithstanding any limitations on payments of Base Rent for
certain portions of the Premises during certain periods of the Term
or adjustments to Tenant’s Pro Rata Share as set forth
herein, the “Premises” for all other purposes hereunder
shall mean the entire Premises effective as of the Delivery
Date.
|
Prior to the Second Floor Rent Commencement Date (as
defined in Section III.B below), Base Rent shall be calculated
on the First Floor Premises only, as follows:

|
Months of Term

Notwithstanding anything in this Section of the
Lease to the contrary, so long as Tenant is not in default under
this Lease, Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of Base Rent
in the amount of $17,239.41 per month for 3 consecutive full
calendar months of the Term, beginning with the first full calendar
month of the Term (the “Base Rent Abatement Period”),
in which case the first month’s rent payable pursuant to
Section IV.A below shall be applied instead to the first month
following the Base Rent Abatement Period. The total amount of Base
Rent abated during the Base Rent Abatement Period shall equal
$51,718.23 (the “Abated Base Rent”). If Tenant defaults
at any time during the Term and fails to cure such default within
any applicable cure period under the Lease, all unamortized Abated
Base Rent (i.e. based upon the amortization of the Abated Base Rent
in equal monthly amounts during the initial Term, without interest)
shall immediately become due and payable. The payment by Tenant of
the Abated Base Rent in the event of a default shall not limit or
affect any of Landlord’s other rights, pursuant to this Lease
or at law or in equity, During the Base Rent Abatement Period, only
Base Rent shall be abated, and all Additional Rent and other costs
and charges specified in this Lease shall remain as due and payable
pursuant to the provisions of this Lease.
Following the Second Floor Rent Commencement Date
(as defined in Section III.B below), Base Rent shall be
calculated on the entire Premises, as follows:

F.
|
“Tenant’s Pro Rata Share” for the
Premises (1) for the first six months following the
Commencement Date is 5.2192%
, (2) for the period commencing on the six
month anniversary of the Commencement Date through the day
immediately prior to the first day of the twenty-fifth month
following the Commencement Date is 7.2053% , and for the period
commencing on the first day of the twenty-fifth month following the
Commencement Date through the remainder of the Term is
10.8080% .
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge and agree
that in the event of Early Occupancy (as defined in
Section III.C) of any portion of the Second Floor Premises
prior to the Second Floor Rent Commencement Date, Tenant’s
Pro Rata Share shall be immediately increased by
0.6959% (in addition to
the 5.2192% or 7.2053% set forth above, as applicable), regardless
of the number of Rentable Square Feet of the Second Floor Premises
that are actually subject to such Early Occupancy, effective as of
the first day of such Early Occupancy until the Second Floor Rent
Commencement Date, at which time Tenant’s entire Pro Rata
Share shall be 10.8080% as set forth above. For example, in the
event of Early Occupancy of a portion of the Second
Floor
|
2.
Premises on the date that is 3 months after the
Commencement Date, then Tenant’s Pro Rata Share shall be
5.9151% for the 4 th through 6 th months
after the Commencement Date, 7.9012% for the 7 th
through 23 rd month after the Commencement Date, and
10.8080% as of the Second Floor Rent Commencement Date. The parties
further acknowledge and agree that notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the event of Early Occupancy of the entire Second Floor Premises
prior to the Second Floor Rent Commencement Date, Tenant’s
Pro Rata Share shall be immediately increased to 10.8080% for the
remainder of the Term, effective upon the first day of such Early
Occupancy of the entire Second Floor Premises. In no event shall
any increase in Tenant’s Pro Rata Share as set forth in this
Section I.F affect the Base Rent amounts set forth in
Section I.E. above.
Except as expressly modified above in the event of
Early Occupancy and for the first six months following the
Commencement Date, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share is the sum derived
by dividing the Rentable Square Footage of the Premises then
subject to Base Rent by the Rentable Square Footage of the Campus
and multiplying the resulting quotient by 100. However,
notwithstanding the foregoing, if one or more buildings are removed
from the group of the Buildings of the Campus, whether as a result
of a sale or demolition of the building(s) or otherwise, or if one
or more buildings owned by Landlord, now or in the future, are
added to the Buildings of the Campus, then the definition of the
“Rentable Square Footage of the Campus”, and
“Tenant’s Pro Rata Share” with respect to the
Premises, shall be appropriately modified or adjusted to reflect
the deletion or addition of such buildings.
“Tenant’s Monthly Expense and Tax
Payment” is $8,700.00
, which is Tenant’s initial Pro Rata Share of
the monthly estimated Expenses and monthly estimated Taxes for the
Premises for the first six months of the Term (as described above),
which is subject to adjustment in connection with increases in
Tenant’s Pro Rata Share as described herein (Landlord’s
current estimate of the amount of any such adjustment is the
equivalent of $0.58 per Rentable Square Foot of the Premises). The
foregoing amount is based upon a 95% occupancy rate for the
Building, as described in Section IV below.
|
|
G.
|
“Term”: A period of 60 months. The Term
shall commence on the date (the “Commencement Date”)
that is 120 days after the Delivery Date (as defined in
Section III.A below) and, unless terminated early in
accordance with this Lease, end on the date that is 60 months after
the Commencement Date (the “Termination Date”).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Termination Date, as
determined herein, does not occur on the last day of a calendar
month, the Term shall be deemed automatically extended by the
number of days necessary to cause the Termination Date to occur on
the last day of the last calendar month of the Term. Tenant shall
pay Base Rent and Additional Rent for such additional days at the
same rate payable for the portion of the last calendar month
immediately preceding such extension. At Landlord’s option,
promptly after the determination of the Commencement Date, Landlord
and Tenant shall enter into a letter agreement confirming the
applicable dates substantially in the form attached as
Exhibit
C .

6.
“Early Occupancy” hereunder) until the
twenty-fourth (24 th ) anniversary of the Commencement
Date (the “Second Floor Rent Commencement Date”)
without first providing written notice of Tenant’s proposed
use to Landlord (“Early Occupancy Notice”). In the
event of Early Occupancy of all or a portion of the Second Floor
Premises prior to the Second Floor Rent Commencement Date, Tenant
shall not be in default hereunder, but, regardless of whether
Tenant has complied with its Early Occupancy Notice requirement,
Tenant’s Pro Rata Share shall be adjusted accordingly
pursuant to Section I.F of the Lease effective as of the first
day of such Early Occupancy.
|
|
D.
|
Landlord shall construct a demising wall
(“Demising Wall”) demising the Second Floor Premises
from the remainder of the second floor within one (1) year
following the Commencement Date. In the event of Early Occupancy,
Landlord and Tenant agree to cooperate with each other in order to
enable the Demising Wall to be constructed in a timely manner and
with as little inconvenience to the operation of Tenant’s
business as is reasonably possible. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, any delay in the completion of the Demising Wall,
or inconvenience suffered by Tenant during the construction of the
Demising Wall in the event of Early Occupancy, shall not delay the
Second Floor Rent Commencement Date, nor shall it subject Landlord
to any liability for any loss or damage resulting therefrom or
entitle Tenant to any credit, abatement or adjustment of Rent or
other sums payable under this Lease; provided that Landlord shall
diligently pursue completion of the Demising Wall as soon as
practicable. Within 15 days following written demand from Landlord
and presentment of applicable invoices, Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord for fifty percent (50%) of the actual and reasonable cost
of the Demising Wall, Tenant’s share thereof not to exceed
$10,000.00 (the “Demising Wall Costs”).
|
|
|
A.
|
Payments . As
consideration for this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord, without
any setoff or deduction, the total amount of Base Rent and
Additional Rent due for the Term. “Additional Rent”
means all sums (exclusive of Base Rent) that Tenant is required to
pay Landlord. Additional Rent and Base Rent are sometimes
collectively referred to as “Rent”. Tenant shall pay
and be liable for all rental, sales and use taxes (but excluding
income taxes), if any, imposed upon or measured by Rent under
applicable Law. Base Rent and recurring monthly charges of
Additional Rent shall be due and payable in advance on the first (1
st ) day of each calendar month without notice or
demand, provided that the installment of Base Rent and
Tenant’s Monthly Expense and Tax Payment (as defined in
Section I.F above) for the first full calendar month of the
Term shall be payable upon the execution of this Lease by Tenant.
All other items of Rent shall be due and payable by Tenant on or
before 30 days after billing by Landlord. Rent shall be made
payable to the entity, and sent to the address, Landlord designates
and shall be made by good and sufficient check or by other means
(such as automatic debit or electronic transfer) acceptable to
Landlord. If Tenant fails to pay any item or installment of Rent
when due, Tenant shall pay Landlord an administration fee equal to
five percent (5%) of the past due Rent, provided that Tenant shall
be entitled to a grace period of five (5) Business Days after
written notice for the first two (2) late payments of Rent in a
given calendar year. If the Term commences on a day other than the
first day of a calendar month or
|
7.
terminates on a day other than the last day of a
calendar month, the monthly Base Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata
Share of Expenses (defined in Section IV.C.) and Taxes
(defined in Section IV.D.) for the month shall be prorated
based on the number of days in such calendar month.
Landlord’s acceptance of less than the correct amount of Rent
shall be considered a payment on account of the earliest Rent due.
No endorsement or statement on a check or letter accompanying a
check or payment shall be considered an accord and satisfaction,
and either party may accept the check or payment without prejudice
to that party’s right to recover the balance or pursue other
available remedies. Tenant’s covenant to pay Rent is
independent of every other covenant in this Lease.
|
|
B.
|
Payment of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of
Expenses and Taxes . Tenant shall pay
Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the total amount of Expenses
(defined in Section IV.C.) and Taxes (defined in
Section IV.D) for each calendar year during the Term. Landlord
shall provide Tenant with a good faith estimate of the total amount
of Expenses and Taxes for each calendar year during the Term. On or
before the first (1 st ) day of each month, Tenant shall
pay to Landlord a monthly installment equal to one-twelfth of
Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Landlord’s estimate of the
total amount of Expenses and Taxes, which initial monthly sum is
defined in Section I.F, above as the “Tenant’s
Monthly Expense and Tax Payment”. If Landlord determines that
its good faith estimate was incorrect by a material amount,
Landlord may provide Tenant with a revised estimate. After its
receipt of the revised estimate, Tenant’s Monthly Expense and
Tax Payment shall be based upon the revised estimate. If Landlord
does not provide Tenant with an estimate of the total amount of
Expenses and Taxes by January 1 of a calendar year, Tenant shall
continue to pay monthly installments based on the previous
year’s estimate until Landlord provides Tenant with the new
estimate. Upon delivery of the new estimate, an adjustment shall be
made for any month for which Tenant paid monthly installments based
on the previous year’s estimate. Tenant shall pay Landlord
the amount of any underpayment within 30 days after receipt of the
new estimate. Any overpayment shall be refunded to Tenant within 30
days or credited against the next due future installment(s) of
Additional Rent.
|
As soon as is practical following the end of each
calendar year, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with a statement of
the actual amount of Expenses and Taxes for the prior calendar year
and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the actual amount of Expenses
and Taxes for the prior calendar year. Landlord shall use
reasonable efforts to furnish the statement of actual Expenses on
or before June 1 of the calendar year immediately following the
calendar year to which the statement applies. If the estimated
amount of Expenses and Taxes for the prior calendar year is more
than the actual amount of Expenses and Taxes for the prior calendar
year, Landlord shall apply any overpayment by Tenant against
Additional Rent due or next becoming due, provided if the Term
expires before the determination of the overpayment, Landlord shall
refund any overpayment to Tenant within 30 days after expiration of
the Term after first deducting the amount of Rent due. If the
estimated amount of Expenses and Taxes for the prior calendar year
is less than the actual amount of Expenses and Taxes for such prior
year, Tenant shall pay Landlord, within 30 days after Its receipt
of the statement of Expenses and Taxes, any underpayment for the
prior calendar year.
8.
Tenant’s obligation to pay or reimburse
Landlord for any underpayment of Expenses shall expire two (2)
years after the and of the calendar year in which such Expenses
were incurred. In no event shall Landlord be entitled to a
reimbursement from tenants for Expenses and Taxes in excess of 100%
of the costs actually paid or incurred by Landlord in any
applicable calendar year.

Taxes Defined .
“Taxes” shall mean: (1) all real estate taxes and
other assessments on the Building, the Property, the Campus and the
Project, including, but not limited to, assessments for special
improvement districts and building improvement districts, taxes and
assessments levied in substitution or supplementation in whole or
in part of any such taxes and assessments and the
|
12.
Building’s, the Property’s, the
Campus’ and the Project’s share of any real estate
taxes and assessments under any reciprocal easement agreement,
common area agreement or similar agreement as to the Building,
Property, Campus and/or Project; (2) all personal property
taxes for property that is owned by Landlord and used in connection
with the operation, maintenance and repair of the Building,
Property, Campus or the Project; and (3) all commercially
reasonable costs and fees incurred in connection with seeking
reductions in any tax liabilities described in (1) and (2),
including, without limitation, any costs incurred by Landlord for
compliance, review and appeal of tax liabilities. Without
limitation, Taxes shall not include any federal, state or corporate
income, capital levy, franchise, capital stock, gift, estate,
transfer or inheritance tax or interest on taxes or penalties
resulting from Landlord’s failure to timely pay taxes, unless
Landlord is in good faith contesting such taxes, or unless such
interest is in connection with a permitted payment of such taxes in
installments, as provided below. If an assessment is payable in
installments, Taxes for the year shall include that installment
amount and any interest due and payable during that year. For all
other real estate taxes, Taxes for that year shall, at
Landlord’s election, include either the amount accrued,
assessed or otherwise imposed for the year or the amount due and
payable for that year, provided that Landlord’s election
shall be applied consistently throughout the Term. If a change in
Taxes is obtained for any year of the Term, then Taxes for that
year will be retroactively adjusted and Landlord shall provide
Tenant with a credit, if any, based on the adjustment. Tenant shall
be responsible for, and shall pay prior to delinquency, taxes or
governmental service fees, possessory interest taxes, fees or
charges in lieu of any such taxes, capital taxes, or other charges
imposed upon, levied with respect to, or assessed against, its
personal property, and its interest pursuant to this Lease. To the
extent that any such taxes are not separately assessed or billed to
Tenant, Tenant shall pay the amount properly allocated to Tenant as
invoiced to Tenant by Landlord prior to the delinquency of such
taxes. In the event that the tenant improvements in the Building
which correspond to any initial alterations to the Premises are
assessed and taxed separately by the applicable taxing authority,
then Tenant shall be liable and shall pay that portion of the Taxes
applicable to the value of the initial alterations to the Premises
based on the value attributed thereto by the applicable taxing
authority to either (a) the applicable taxing authority prior
the delinquency of such taxes in the event Tenant is billed
directly by such taxing authority, or (b) the Landlord within
30 days after written demand, in the event Landlord is billed
directly by the applicable taxing authority.

Net Lease . This shall
be a triple net Lease and Base Rent shall be paid to Landlord
absolutely net of all costs and expenses, except as specifically
provided to the contrary in this Lease. The provisions for payment
of Expenses and Taxes and the determination of Tenant’s
Monthly Expense and Tax Payment are intended to pass on to Tenant
and reimburse Landlord for all costs and expenses of the nature
described in this Article IV incurred in connection with the
ownership, management, maintenance, repair, preservation,
replacement and operation of the Building, Campus and/or Project
and its supporting facilities and such additional facilities now
and in subsequent years as may be determined by Landlord to be

Audit Rights . Tenant
may, within 180 days after receiving Landlord’s statement of
Expenses, give Landlord written notice (“Review
Notice”) that Tenant intends to review Landlord’s
records of the Expenses for that calendar year. Within a reasonable
time after receipt of the Review Notice, Landlord shall make all
pertinent records available for inspection that are reasonably
necessary for Tenant to conduct its review. If any records are
maintained at a location other than the office of the Campus,
Tenant may either inspect the records at such other location or pay
for the reasonable cost of copying and shipping the records. If
Tenant retains an agent to review Landlord’s records, the
agent must be with a licensed CPA firm. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Landlord agrees that Tenant may retain a third party
agent to review Landlord’s books and records which is not a
CPA firm, so long as the third party agent retained by Tenant shall
have expertise in and familiarity with general industry practice
with respect to the operation of and accounting for a first class
office building and whose, compensation shall in no way be
contingent upon or correspond to the financial impact on Tenant
resulting from the review. Tenant shall be solely responsible for
all costs, expenses and fees incurred for the audit. However,
notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord and Tenant determine
that Expenses for the Building for the year in question were less
than stated by more than 5%, Landlord, within 30 days after its
receipt of paid invoices therefor from Tenant, shall reimburse
Tenant for the reasonable amounts paid by Tenant to third parties
in connection with such review by Tenant. Within 60 days after the
records are made available to Tenant, Tenant shall have the right
to give Landlord written notice (an “Objection Notice”)
stating in reasonable detail any objection to Landlord’s
statement of Expenses for that year. If Tenant fails to give
Landlord an Objection Notice within the 60 day period or fails to
provide Landlord with a Review Notice within the 180 day period
described above, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved
Landlord’s statement of Expenses and shall be barred from
raising any claims regarding the Expenses for that year. If Tenant
provides Landlord with a timely Objection Notice, Landlord and
Tenant shall work together in good faith to resolve any issues
raised in Tenant’s Objection Notice. If Landlord and Tenant
determine that Expenses for the calendar year are less than
reported, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a credit against the
next installment of Rent in the amount of the overpayment by
Tenant. Likewise, if Landlord and Tenant determine that Expenses
for the calendar year are greater than reported, Tenant shall pay
Landlord the amount of any underpayment within 30 days. The records
obtained by Tenant shall be treated as confidential, except to the
extent required by law, legal process between the parties in
connection with Tenant’s audit of Expenses, and provided that
such information may be shared by Tenant with Tenant’s
lenders, investment brokers, advisors, accountants and attorneys to
the extent reasonably necessary for the conduct of Tenant’s
business, provided that Tenant shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause such parties to keep such information
confidential, in no event shall Tenant be permitted to examine
Landlord’s records or to dispute any statement of Expenses
unless Tenant has paid and continues to pay all Rent when
due.

by auction upon the Premises, or place any loads upon the floors,
walls or ceilings which could endanger the structure, or place any
harmful substances in the drainage system of the Building or
Campus. No waste, materials or refuse shall be dumped upon or
permitted to remain outside the Premises except in trash containers
placed inside exterior enclosures designated for that purpose by
Landlord. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for the
non-compliance by any other tenant or occupant of the Building or
Campus with any of the above-referenced rules or any other terms or
provisions of such tenant’s or occupant’s lease or
other contract. Tenant shall comply with all Laws, including the
Americans with Disabilities Act and any Laws relating to the use,
generation, storage or disposal of Hazardous Materials (hereinafter
defined), regarding the operation of Tenant’s business and

expense (except to the extent properly included in Expenses), shall
be responsible for correcting any violations of Title Ill of the
Americans with Disabilities Act or of applicable building or fire
codes with respect to the Premises, provided that Landlord’s
obligation shall be limited to violations that arise out of the
condition of the Premises prior to the Initial Alterations and
installation of any furniture, equipment and other personal
property of Tenant. Landlord shall have the right to contest any
alleged violation in good faith, including, without limitation, the
right to apply for and obtain a waiver or deferment of compliance,
the right to assert any and all defenses allowed by Law and the
right to appeal any decisions, judgments or rulings to the fullest
extent permitted by Law, Landlord, after the exhaustion of any and
all rights to appeal or contest, will make all repairs, additions,
alterations or improvements necessary to comply with the terms of
any final order or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant,
not Landlord, shall be responsible for the correction of any
violations that arise out of or in connection with any claims
brought under any provision of the Americans with Disabilities Act
other than Title lie the specific nature of Tenant’s business
in the Premises (other than general office use), the acts or
omissions of Tenant, its agents, employees or contractors,
Tenant’s arrangement of any furniture, equipment or other
property in the Premises, any repairs, alterations, additions or
improvements performed by or on behalf of Tenant (including the
Initial Alterations) and any design or configuration of the
Premises specifically requested by Tenant after being informed that
such design or configuration may not be in strict compliance with
the ADA. As of the date hereof, Landlord has not received written
notice from any governmental agencies that the Building is in
violation of Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act or of
applicable building or fire codes. Tenant, within 10 days after
receipt, shall provide Landlord with copies of any notices it
receives regarding a violation or alleged violation of any Laws.
Tenant shall comply with the rules and regulations of the Campus
attached as Exhibit B and
such other reasonable rules and regulations adopted by Landlord
from time to time. Tenant shall also cause its agents, contractors,
subcontractors, employees, customers, and subtenants to comply with
all rules and regulations. Landlord shall not knowingly
discriminate against Tenant in Landlord’s enforcement of the
rules and regulations. If there is a conflict between this Lease
and any rules and regulations enacted after the date of this Lease,
the terms of this Lease shall control. The rules and regulations
shall be generally applicable, and generally applied in the same
manner, to all tenants of the Building and/or Campus.

A.
|
The Security Deposit, if any, shall be delivered to
Landlord upon the execution of this Lease by Tenant and shall be
held by Landlord without liability for interest (unless required by
Law) as security for the performance of Tenant’s obligations.
The Security Deposit is not an advance payment of Rent or a measure
of Tenant’s liability for damages. Landlord may, from time to
time, without prejudice to any other remedy, use all or a portion
of the Security Deposit to satisfy past due Rent or to cure (after
expiration of any applicable cure period) any uncured default by
Tenant. If Landlord uses the Security Deposit, Tenant shall within
ten (10) days following written demand restore the Security Deposit
to its original amount. Landlord shall return any unapplied portion
of the Security Deposit to Tenant within 30 days after the later to
occur of (1) the date Tenant surrenders possession of the
Premises to Landlord in accordance with this Lease; or (2) the
Termination Date; provided that in addition to any other deductions
Landlord is entitled to make pursuant to the terms hereof, Landlord
shall have the right to make a good faith and reasonable estimate
of any unreconciled Expenses and/or Taxes as of the Termination
Date or date of surrender, as applicable, and to deduct any
anticipated shortfall from the Security Deposit. Such good faith
and reasonable estimate shall be final and binding upon Tenant. If
Landlord transfers its interest in the Premises, Landlord shall
assign the Security Deposit to the transferee and, following the
assignment, Landlord shall have no further liability for any claims
by Tenant for the return of the Security Deposit to the extent such
claims arise or accrue after the date of such transfer. Landlord
shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from
its other accounts. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of
Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, or any similar or
successor Laws now or hereinafter in effect.
|
|
|
B.
|
The Security Deposit shall be in the form of an
irrevocable letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”),
which Letter of Credit shall: (a) be in the original amount of
$500,000.00; (b) be issued on the form attached hereto
as Exhibit H ;
(c) name Landlord as its beneficiary; and (d) be drawn on
an FDIC insured financial institution reasonably satisfactory to
the Landlord. Landlord agrees that Silicon Valley Bank shall be
deemed a satisfactory financial institution for the purpose of
issuing the initial Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit (and any
renewals or replacements thereof) shall be for a term of not less
than 1 year. Tenant agrees that it shall from time to time, as
necessary, whether as a result of a draw on the Letter of Credit by
Landlord pursuant to the terms hereof or as a result of the
expiration of the Letter of Credit then in effect, renew or replace
the original and any subsequent Letter of Credit so that a Letter
of Credit, in the amount required hereunder, is in effect until a
date which is at least 60 days after the Termination Date of the
Lease. If Tenant fails to furnish such renewal or replacement at
least 60 days prior to the stated expiration date of the Letter of
Credit then held by Landlord, Landlord may draw upon such Letter of
Credit and hold the proceeds thereof (and such proceeds need not be
segregated) as a Security Deposit pursuant to the terms of this
Article VI. Any renewal or replacement of the original or any
subsequent Letter of Credit shall meet the requirements for the
original Letter of Credit as set forth above, except that such
replacement or renewal shall be issued by an FDIC insured financial
institution reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord at the time of
the issuance thereof.
|
16.
If Landlord draws on the Letter of Credit as
permitted in this Lease or the Letter of Credit, then, within ten
(10) days after written demand of Landlord, Tenant shall restore
the amount available under the Letter of Credit to its original
amount by providing Landlord with an amendment to the Letter of
Credit evidencing that the amount available under the Letter of
Credit has been restored to its original amount. In the
alternative, Tenant may provide Landlord with cash, to be held by
Landlord in accordance with this Article, equal to the restoration
amount required under the Letter of Credit.
|
|
C.
|
Subject to the remaining terms of this
Article VI, Tenant shall have the right to reduce the Security
Deposit (i.e. the Letter of Credit) by the amount of the Unused
Allowance (as defined in the Work Letter). In addition, but subject
to the remaining terms of this Article VI, and provided Tenant
has timely paid all Rent due under this Lease during the 12 month
period immediately preceding the effective date of any reduction of
the Security Deposit, Tenant shall have the right to reduce the
amount of the Security Deposit (i.e., the Letter of Credit) on or
after the following dates by the following amounts: (i) less
$24,000.00, effective as of the first day of the fifteenth (15
th ) month of the Term; (ii) less an additional
$42,000.00, effective as of the first day of the twenty-fifth (25
th ) month of the Term; (iii) less an additional
$42,000.00, effective as of the first day of the thirty-seventh (37
th ) month of the Term; and (iv) less an additional
$42,000.00, effective as of the first day of the forty-ninth (49
th ) month of the Term. If Tenant is not entitled to
reduce the Security Deposit (i.e., the Letter of Credit) as of a
particular reduction effective date due to Tenant’s failure
to timely pay all Rent during the 12 months prior to that
particular reduction effective date, then any subsequent
reduction(s) Tenant is entitled to hereunder shall be reduced by
the amount of the reduction Tenant would have been entitled to had
Tenant timely paid all Rent during the 12 months prior to that
particular earlier reduction effective date. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, if Tenant has been in
default under this Lease at any time prior to the effective date of
any reduction of the Security Deposit and Tenant has failed to cure
such default within any applicable cure period, then Tenant shall
have no further right to reduce the amount of the Security Deposit
(i.e. the Letter of Credit) as described herein.
|
|
|
D.
|
Any reduction in the Letter of Credit shall be
accomplished by Tenant providing Landlord with a substitute letter
of credit in the reduced amount.

water, gas, light, power, trash pick-up, sewer, telephone,
sprinkler charges, janitorial and interior Building security
services and all other utility services supplied to the Premises,
and all taxes and surcharges thereon, together with any maintenance
charges related thereto. If any such services are not separately
billed or metered to Tenant, Tenant shall pay an equitable
proportion, as determined in good faith by Landlord, of all charges
billed or metered with other premises. All sums payable under this
Article VII shall constitute Additional Rent hereunder.
Landlord agrees to maintain and repair the Property as described in
Article IX.B. Tenant shall have access to the Building for
Tenant and its employees 24 hours
|
17.

procedures and/or presentation of identification cards.
|
|
B.
|
Any interruption or termination of, services due to
the application of Laws, the failure of any equipment, the
performance of repairs, improvements or alterations, or the
occurrence of any other event (a “Service Failure”)
shall not render Landlord liable to Tenant, constitute a
constructive eviction of Tenant, give rise to an abatement of Rent,
nor relieve Tenant from the obligation to fulfill any covenant or
agreement. Furthermore, in no event shall Landlord be liable to
Tenant for any loss or damage, including the theft of
Tenant’s Property (defined in Article XV), arising out
of or in connection with the failure of any security services,
personnel or equipment. However, if the Premises, or a material
portion of the Premises, are made untenantable for a period in
excess of 3 consecutive Business Days as a result of a Service
Failure that is reasonably within the control of Landlord to
correct, then Tenant, as its sole remedy, shall be entitled to
receive an abatement of Rent payable hereunder during the period
beginning on the 4 th consecutive Business Day of the
Service Failure and ending on the day the service has been
restored. If the entire Premises have not been rendered
untenantable by the Service Failure, the amount of abatement shall
be equitably prorated.

Tenant and located in the Premises or other portions of the
Building, Campus and/or Project; and (2) any Leasehold
Improvements that are performed by or for the benefit of Tenant
and, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, are of a nature that

Removables include internal stairways, raised floors, personal
baths and showers, vaults, rolling file systems and structural
alterations and modifications of any type. However, it is agreed
that Required Removables shall not include any usual office

Landlord shall be removed by Tenant before the Termination Date,
provided that upon prior written notice to Landlord, Tenant may
remain in the Premises for up to 10 Business Days after the
Termination Date for the sole purpose of removing the Required
Removables. Tenant’s possession of the Premises shall be
subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, including
the obligation to pay Rent on a per diem basis at the rate in
effect for the last month of the Term. Tenant shall repair damage
caused by the installation or removal of Required Removables. If
Tenant fails to remove any Required Removables or perform related
repairs in a timely manner, Landlord, at Tenant’s expense,
may remove and dispose of the Required Removables and perform the
required repairs. Tenant, within 30 days after receipt of an
invoice, shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable and actual
costs incurred by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant,
at the time it requests approval for a proposed Alteration (defined
in Section IX.C), may request in writing that Landlord advise
Tenant whether the Alteration or any portion of the Alteration will
be
18.
designated as a Required Removable. Within 10 days
after receipt of Tenant’s request, Landlord shall advise
Tenant in writing as to which portions of the Alteration, if any,
will be considered to be Required Removables. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, Tenant shall not be required to
remove any of the Initial Alterations as Required Removables,
subject, however, to Landlord’s right to identify in writing
any specific improvements that Landlord reasonably designates as
Required Removables at the time of Landlord’s approval of
Tenant’s Plans for the Initial Alterations.

A.
|
Tenant’s Repair and Maintenance
Obligations . Tenant shall, at its sole
cost and expense, promptly perform all maintenance and repairs to
the Premises that are not Landlord’s express responsibility
under this Lease, and shall keep the interior of the Premises in
good condition and repair (including the replacement of any
applicable improvements and appurtenances when necessary),
reasonable wear and tear and damage by casualty (subject to the
terms of Article XVII) excepted. Tenant’s repair and
replacement obligations include, without limitation, repairs to and
replacements of: (1) floor covering; (2) interior
partitions; (3) doors (4) interior walls and wall

levelers; (14) floors and floor coverings; and
(15) Alterations performed by contractors retained by Tenant,
including related HVAC balancing. All work shall be performed in
accordance with the rules and procedures described in
Section IX.C. below. If Tenant uses rail and if required by
the railroad company, Tenant agrees to sign a joint maintenance
agreement governing the use of the rail spur, if any. In addition,
Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, provide janitorial
service to the Premises in a manner consistent with other similar
projects in the Redwood City, California area. The janitorial
service to be provided by Tenant shall include, but not be limited
to, the obligation to clean the exterior windows and to keep the
interior of the Premises such as the windows, floors, walls, doors,
showcases and fixtures clean and neat in appearance and to remove
all trash and debris which may be found in or around the Premises.
Tenant shall also enter into and keep and maintain in effect,
service contracts reasonably acceptable to Landlord for regularly
scheduled preventative maintenance with contractors reasonably
acceptable to Landlord for the maintenance of those systems
exclusively servicing the Premises which Tenant is required to
maintain hereunder, including, without limitation, the HVAC,
electrical and life safety systems exclusively serving the
Premises. Such service contracts must include all services
suggested by the equipment manufacturer within the
operation/maintenance manual and must become effective and a copy
thereof delivered to Landlord within 30 days after the Commencement
Date. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant shall, at
Tenant’s sole cost and expense,
|
19.
(a) immediately replace all broken glass in the
Premises with glass equal to or in excess of the specification and
quality of the original glass; and (b) subject to
Section XVI, repair any damage caused by Tenant,
Tenant’s agents, employees, invitees, visitors, subtenants or
contractors. If Tenant fails to make any repairs or replacements to
the Premises or fails to perform the required janitorial work in
the Premises at the level required or fails to enter into a service
contract required herein for more than 15 days after written notice
from Landlord (although notice shall not be required if there is an
emergency), Landlord may make the repairs or replacements, perform
the janitorial work or enter into a service contract on behalf of
Tenant, as the case may be, and Tenant shall pay the reasonable
cost thereof to Landlord within 30 days after receipt of an
invoice, together with an administrative charge in an amount equal
to 3% of the cast of the work performed. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the repair to be performed by Tenant cannot
reasonably be completed within 15 days after Landlord’s
written notice to Tenant, Landlord shall not exercise its right to
make such repair on Tenant’s behalf so long as Tenant
commences such repair within 15 days after written notice from
Landlord and is diligently pursuing the same to completion. Tenant
shall maintain written records of maintenance and repairs and shall
use certified technicians to perform any such maintenance and
repairs. Nothing herein shall expressly or by implication render
Tenant Landlord’s agent or contractor to effect any repairs
or maintenance required of Tenant under this Article IX.A., as
to all of which Tenant shall be solely responsible.
|
|
B.
|
Landlord’s Repair Obligation
. Landlord shall keep and maintain in good repair
and working order and make repairs to and perform maintenance upon:
(1) the structural elements of the Building, including,
without limitation, the columns, footings, structural floor,
interior load bearing and exterior walls; (2) Common Areas;
(3) the roof of the Building, including roof screens and roof
screen penetrators, but excluding the roof membrane; and
(4) elevators (if any) serving the Building. Landlord shall
promptly make repairs (considering the nature and urgency of the
repair) for which Landlord is responsible. Tenant shall pay
Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of such repair and maintenance costs
incurred by Landlord to the extent such costs are properly included
in Expenses. The term “exterior walls” as used herein
shall not include windows, glass or plate glass, doors, dock
bumpers or dock plates, special store fronts or office entries,
Subject to Section XVI, any damage caused by or repairs
necessitated by any negligence or act of Tenant or any Tenant
Related Party (as defined in Article XIV below) may be
repaired by Landlord at Landlord’s option and Tenant’s
expense. Tenant shall promptly give Landlord written notice of any
defect or need of repairs in such components of the Building for
which Landlord is responsible, after which Landlord shall have a
reasonable opportunity and the right to enter the Premises at all
reasonable times to repair same. Landlord’s liability with
respect to any defects, repairs, or maintenance for which Landlord
is responsible under any of the provisions of this Lease shall be
limited to the cost of such repairs or maintenance, and there shall
be no abatement of Rent and no liability of Landlord by reason of
any injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising
from the making of repairs, alterations or improvements in or to
any portion of the Premises, the Building, the Campus or the
Project, or to fixtures, appurtenances or equipment in the
Building, except as provided in Section VII.B and
Article XVII. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights under
and benefits of subsection 1 of
|
20.
Section 1932, and Sections 1941 and 1942
of the California Civil Code, or any similar or successor Laws now
or hereinafter in effect.
|
|
C.
|
Alterations . Tenant
shall not make alterations, additions or improvements to the
Premises or install any Cable in the Premises or other portions of
the Building, the Campus or the Project (collectively referred to
as “Alterations”) without first obtaining the written
consent of Landlord in each instance, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, However,
Landlord’s consent shall not be required for any Alteration
that satisfies all of the following criteria (a “Cosmetic
Alteration”): (1) is of a cosmetic nature such as
painting, wallpapering, hanging pictures and installing carpeting;
(2) is not visible from the exterior of the Premises or
Building; (3) will not affect the systems or structure of the
Building, the Campus or the Project; and (4) does not require
work to be performed inside the walls or above the ceiling of the
Premises. However, even though consent is not required, the
performance of Cosmetic Alterations shall be subject to all the
other provisions of this Section IX.C. Prior to starting work,
Tenant shall furnish Landlord with plans and specifications
reasonably acceptable to Landlord; names of contractors reasonably
acceptable to Landlord (provided that Landlord may designate
specific contractors with respect to Building systems); copies of
contracts; necessary permits and approvals; evidence of
contractor’s and subcontractor’s insurance in amounts
reasonably required by Landlord; and any security for performance
that is reasonably required by Landlord (provided that no such
security shall be required for Alterations costing less than
$50,000.00). Changes to the plans and specifications must also be
submitted to Landlord for its approval, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Alterations shall be
constructed in a good and workmanlike manner using materials of a
quality that is at least equal to the quality designated by
Landlord as the minimum standard for the Building and the Campus.
Landlord may designate reasonable rules, regulations and procedures
for the performance of work in the Building, the Campus and the
Project and, to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid disruption
to the occupants of the Building, the Campus and the Project, shall
have the right to designate the reasonable time when Alterations
may be performed. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord within 30 days
after receipt of an invoice for reasonable and actual sums paid by
Landlord for third party examination of Tenant’s plans for
non-Cosmetic Alterations. In addition, within 30 days after receipt
of an invoice from Landlord, Tenant shall pay Landlord a fee for
Landlord’s oversight and coordination of any non-Cosmetic
Alterations equal to 3% of the cost of the non-Cosmetic
Alterations. Upon completion, Tenant shall furnish
“as-built” plans (except for Cosmetic Alterations),
completion affidavits, full and final waivers of lien in recordable
form, and receipted bills covering all labor and materials. Tenant
shall assure that the Alterations comply with all insurance
requirements and Laws. Landlord’s approval of an Alteration
shall not be a representation by Landlord that the Alteration
complies with applicable Laws or will be adequate for
Tenant’s use. At least 10 Business Days before beginning
construction of any Alteration, Tenant shall give Landlord written
notice of the expected commencement date of that construction to
permit Landlord to post and record a notice of non-responsibility.
Upon substantial completion of construction, if the law so
provides, Tenant shall cause a timely notice of completion to be
recorded in the office of the recorder of the county in which the
Building is located.
|
21.
|
X.
|
Use of Utility Services by Tenant.
|
|
|
A.
|
Electricity, gas, water and other utility services
used by Tenant in the Premises shall be paid for by Tenant through
inclusion in Expenses (except as provided in Section X.B. for
excess usage). Electrical service to the Premises may be furnished
by one or more companies providing electrical generation,
transmission and distribution services, and the cost of electricity
may consist of several different components or separate charges for
such services, such as generation, distribution and stranded cost
charges. Landlord shall have the exclusive right to select any
company providing electrical service to the Premises, to aggregate
the electrical service for the Property and Premises with other
buildings, to purchase electricity through a broker and/or buyers
group and to change the providers and manner of purchasing
electricity. Landlord shall be entitled to receive a fee (if
permitted by Law) for the selection of utility companies and the
negotiation and administration of contracts for electricity,
provided that the amount of such fee shall not exceed 10% of any
savings obtained by Landlord.
|
|
|
B.
|
Tenant’s use of electrical service shall not
exceed, either in voltage, rated capacity, or overall load, that
which Landlord deems to be standard for the Building. If Tenant
requests permission to consume excess electrical service, Landlord
may refuse to consent or may condition consent upon conditions that
Landlord reasonably elects (including, without limitation, the
installation of utility service upgrades, meters, submeters, air
handlers or cooling units), and the additional usage (to the extent
permitted by Law), and reasonable and actual installation and
maintenance costs shall be paid by Tenant. Landlord shall have the
right to separately meter electrical usage for the Premises and to
measure electrical usage by survey or other commonly accepted
methods.
|
Landlord, its agents, contractors and
representatives may enter the Premises to inspect or (during the
last nine (9) months of the Term) to show the Premises, to clean
and make repairs, alterations or additions to the Premises, and to
conduct or facilitate repairs, alterations or additions to any
portion of the Building, the Campus or the Project, including other
tenants’ premises. Except in emergencies or to provide
janitorial or maintenance services (if Landlord so elects in
accordance with Article IX.A above) and other regularly
scheduled Services after normal business hours, Landlord shall
provide Tenant with reasonable prior notice (at least 24 hours,
except in connection with showing of the Premises to prospective
tenants during the last 9 months of the Term) of entry into the
Premises, which may be given orally. If reasonably necessary for
the protection and safety of Tenant and its employees, Landlord
shall have the right to temporarily close all or a portion of the
Premises to perform repairs, alterations and additions. However,
except in emergencies, Landlord will not close the Premises if the
work can reasonably be completed on weekends and after normal
business hours. Entry by Landlord shall not constitute constructive
eviction or entitle Tenant to an abatement or reduction of Rent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, except in emergency situations as
determined by Landlord, Landlord shall exercise reasonable efforts
not to unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of
Tenant in the Premises.
22.
|
XII.
|
Assignment and Subletting.
|
|
|
A.
|
Except in connection with a Permitted Transfer
(defined in Section XII.E. below), Tenant shall not assign,
sublease, transfer or encumber any interest in this Lease or allow
any third party to use any portion of the Premises (collectively or
individually, a “Transfer”) without the prior written
consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed if Landlord does not elect to
exercise its termination rights under Section XII.B below.
Without limitation, it is agreed that Landlord’s consent
shall not be considered unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed if: (1) the proposed transferee’s financial
condition does not meet the criteria Landlord uses to select
Building and Campus tenants having similar leasehold obligations,
provided, with respect to a subtenant, Landlord shall apply a
standard of whether the proposed subtenant is financially able to
meet its sublease obligations, including its obligation to pay rent
under the sublease, as they become due; (2) the proposed
transferee’s business is not suitable for the Building, the
Campus or the Project considering the business of the other tenants
and the prestige of the Building, the Campus and the Project, or
would result in a violation of another tenant’s rights;
(3) the proposed transferee is a governmental agency or
occupant of the Building or the Campus; (4) Tenant is in
default after the expiration of the notice and cure periods in this
Lease; or (5) any portion of the Premises, the Building, the
Campus or the Project would likely become subject to additional or
different Laws as a consequence of the proposed Transfer.
Notwithstanding the above, Landlord will not withhold its consent
solely because the proposed transferee is an occupant of the
Building or Campus if Landlord does not have space available for
lease in the Building or Campus that is comparable to the space
Tenant desires to sublet or assign. Landlord shall be deemed to
have comparable space if it has, or will have, space available an
any floor of the Building or another building in the Campus that is
approximately the same size as the space Tenant desires to Transfer
within 6 months of the proposed commencement of the proposed
sublease or assignment. Tenant shall not be entitled to receive
monetary damages based upon a claim that Landlord unreasonably
withheld its consent to a proposed Transfer and Tenant’s sole
remedy shall be an action to enforce any such provision through
specific performance or declaratory judgment. Tenant hereby waives
the provisions of Section 1995.310 of the California Civil
Code, or any similar or successor Laws, now or hereinafter in
effect, and all other remedies, including, without limitation, any
right at law or equity to terminate this Lease, on its own behalf
and, to the extent permitted under all applicable Laws, on behalf
of the proposed transferee. Any attempted Transfer in violation of
this Article shall, at Landlord’s option, be void. Consent by
Landlord to one or more Transfer(s) shall not operate as a waiver
of Landlord’s rights to approve any subsequent Transfers. In
no event shall any Transfer or Permitted Transfer release or
relieve Tenant from any obligation under this Lease.
|
|
|
B.
|
As part of its request for Landlord’s consent
to a Transfer (other than a Permitted Transfer), Tenant shall
provide Landlord with financial statements for the proposed
transferee, a complete copy of the proposed assignment, sublease
and other contractual documents and such other information as
Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord shall, by written notice
to Tenant within 10 Business Days of its receipt of the required
information and documentation,
|
23.
either: (1) consent to the Transfer by the
execution of a consent agreement in a form reasonably designated by
Landlord or reasonably refuse to consent to the Transfer in
writing; or (2) exercise its right to terminate this Lease
with respect to the entire Premises, if Tenant is proposing to
assign the Lease, or with respect to the portion of the Premises
that Tenant is proposing to sublet if the proposed sublease term,
with or without renewal options relating thereto, is to expire
during the last 12 months of the Term of the Lease and would result
in 50% or more of the Tenant’s Premises being subject to
sublease. Any such termination shall be effective on the proposed
effective date of the Transfer for which Tenant requested consent.
If Landlord fails to respond to any request for consent within the
10 Business Day period set forth above, Tenant shall have the right
to provide Landlord with a second request for consent.
Tenant’s second request for consent must specifically state
that Landlord’s failure to respond within a period of 10 days
shall be deemed to be an approval by Landlord. If Landlord’s
failure to respond continues for 10 days after its receipt of the
second request for consent, the Transfer for which Tenant has
requested consent shall be deemed to have been approved by
Landlord. Tenant shall pay Landlord a review fee of $1,250.00 for
Landlord’s review of any Permitted Transfer or requested
Transfer, provided if Landlord’s actual reasonable costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) exceed
$1,250.00, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for its actual
reasonable costs and expenses in lieu of a fixed review fee (not to
exceed $2,500.00, unless Landlord’s actual and reasonable
costs exceed such amount as the direct result of Tenant’s or
transferee’s request for material changes to Landlord’s
standard form of consent or if this Lease needs to be amended as a
result thereof).
|
|
C.
|
Tenant shall pay Landlord 50% of all rent and other
consideration which Tenant receives as a result of a Transfer that
is in excess of the Rent payable to Landlord for the portion of the
Premises and Term covered by the Transfer. Tenant shall pay
Landlord for Landlord’s share of any excess within 30 days
after Tenant’s receipt of such excess consideration. Tenant
may deduct from the excess alt reasonable and customary expenses
directly incurred by Tenant attributable to the Transfer (other
than Landlord’s review fee), including brokerage fees, legal
fees and construction costs. If Tenant is in Monetary Default
(defined in Section XIX.A. below), Landlord may require that
all sublease payments be made directly to Landlord, in which case
Tenant shall receive a credit against Rent in the amount of any
payments received (less Landlord’s share of any excess).
Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, in the
event that Tenant Transfers any portion of the Second Floor
Premises (other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer) prior to the
Second Floor Rent Commencement Date, during any part of the term of
such Transfer that is prior to the Second Floor Rent Commencement
Date, Tenant shall pay Landlord 100% of all rent and other
consideration which Tenant receives (after appropriate deductions
as provided above) as a result of a Transfer that is in excess of
the Rent payable to Landlord for the portion of the Second Floor
Premises subject to the Transfer; provided that If the term of such
Transfer extends beyond the Second Floor Rent Commencement Date,
following the Second Floor Rent Commencement Date Landlord shall be
entitled to only 50% of such excess rent and
consideration.
|
24.
|
|
D.
|
Except as provided below with respect to a Permitted
Transfer, if Tenant is a corporation, limited liability company,
partnership, or similar entity, and if the entity which owns or
controls a majority (more than 50%) of the voting shares/rights at
any time changes for any reason (including but not limited to a
merger, consolidation or reorganization), such change of ownership
or control shall constitute a Transfer. The foregoing shall not
apply so long as Tenant is an entity whose outstanding stock is
listed on a recognized security exchange, or if at least 80% of its
voting stock is owned by another entity, the voting stock of which
is so listed.
|
|
|
E.
|
So long as Tenant is not entering into the Permitted
Transfer for the purpose of avoiding or otherwise circumventing the
remaining terms of this Article XII, Tenant may assign its
entire interest under this Lease, without the consent of Landlord,
to (i) an affiliate, subsidiary, or parent of Tenant, or a
corporation, partnership or other legal entity wholly owned by
Tenant (collectively, an “Affiliated Party”), or
(ii) a successor to Tenant by purchase, merger, consolidation
or reorganization, provided that all of the following conditions
are satisfied (each such Transfer a “Permitted
Transfer”): (1) Tenant is not in default under this
Lease beyond applicable cure periods; (2) the Permitted Use
does not allow the Premises to be used for retail purposes;
(3) unless prohibited by law (in which case Tenant shall give
Landlord notice within 10 days, or as soon thereafter as is
permitted by law, following the transfer), Tenant shall give
Landlord written notice at least 15 days prior to the effective
date of the proposed Permitted Transfer; (4) with respect to a
proposed Permitted Transfer to an Affiliated Party, Tenant
continues to have a net worth equal to or greater than
Tenant’s net worth at the date of this Lease; and
(5) with respect to a purchase, merger, consolidation or
reorganization or any Permitted Transfer which results in Tenant
ceasing to exist as a separate legal entity,
(a) Tenant’s successor shall own all or substantially
all of the assets of Tenant, and (b) Tenant’s successor
shall have a net worth which is at least equal to the greater of
Tenant’s net worth at the date of this Lease or
Tenant’s net worth as of the day prior to the proposed
purchase, merger, consolidation or reorganization. Tenant’s
notice to Landlord shall include information and documentation
showing that each of the above conditions has been satisfied. If
requested by Landlord, Tenant’s successor shall sign a
commercially reasonable form of assumption agreement. As used
herein, (A) “parent” shall mean a company which
owns a majority of Tenant’s voting equity;
(B) “subsidiary” shall mean an entity wholly owned
by Tenant or at least 51% of whose voting equity is owned by
Tenant; and (C) “affiliate” shall mean an entity
controlled, controlling or under common control with Tenant.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any parent, affiliate or
subsidiary to which this Lease has been assigned or transferred
subsequently sells or transfers its voting equity or its interest
under this Lease other than to another parent, subsidiary or
affiliate of the original Tenant named hereunder, such sale or
transfer shall be deemed to be a Transfer requiring the reasonable
consent of Landlord hereunder.
|
Tenant shall not permit mechanics or other liens to
be placed upon the Premises, the Building, the Property, the
Campus, the Project or Tenant’s leasehold interest in
connection with any work or service done or purportedly done by or
for benefit of Tenant. If a lien is so placed,
25.
Tenant shall, within 10 days of written notice from
Landlord of the filing of the lien, fully discharge the lien by
settling the claim which resulted in the lien or by bonding or
insuring over the lien in the manner prescribed by the applicable
lien Law. If Tenant fails to discharge the lien, then, in addition
to any other right or remedy of Landlord, Landlord may bond or
insure over the lien or otherwise discharge the lien. Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord for any amount paid by Landlord to bond or
insure over the lien or discharge the lien, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees (if and to the extent
permitted by Law) within 30 days after receipt of an invoice from
Landlord. Landlord shall have the right at all times to post and
keep posted on the Premises any notices permitted or required by
Law, or which Landlord shall deem proper, for the protection of
Landlord, the Premises, the Building, the Campus, the Project and
any other party having an interest therein, from mechanics’
and materialmen’s liens, and Tenant shall give Landlord not
less than 10 Business Days prior written notice of the commencement
of any work in the Premises, Building or Campus which could
lawfully give rise to a claim for mechanics’ or
materialmen’s liens to permit Landlord to post and record a
timely notice of non-responsibility, as Landlord may elect to
proceed or as the law may from time to time provide, for which
purpose, it Landlord shall so determine, Landlord may enter the
Premises. Tenant shall not remove any such notice posted by
Landlord without Landlord’s consent, and in any event not
before completion of the work which could lawfully give rise to a
claim for mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens.

Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the
contrary, Landlord and Tenant hereby waive and shall cause their
respective insurance carriers to waive any and all rights of
recovery, claim, action or causes of action against the other and
their respective trustees, principals, beneficiaries, partners,
officers, directors, agents, and employees, for any loss or damage
that may occur to Landlord or Tenant or any party claiming by,
through or under Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, with
respect to Tenant’s Property, the Premises, the Building, the
Campus,
27.
any additions or improvements to the Premises, the
Building or the Campus, or any contents thereof, including all
rights of recovery, claims, actions or causes of action arising out
of the negligence of Landlord or any Landlord Related Parties or
the negligence of Tenant or any Tenant Related Parties, which loss
or damage is (or would have been, had the insurance required by
this Lease been carried) covered by insurance.

A.
|
If all or any part of the Premises is damaged by
fire or other casualty, Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord in
writing. During any period of time that all or a material portion
of the Premises is rendered untenantable as a result of a fire or
other casualty (including due to the inaccessibility of the
Premises), the Rent shall abate for the portion of the Premises
that is untenantable and not used by Tenant. Landlord shall have
the right to terminate this Lease if: (1) the Building, the
Campus or the Project shall be damaged so that, in Landlord’s
reasonable judgment, substantial alteration or reconstruction of
the Building or the Campus shall be required (whether or not the
Premises has been damaged), and such reconstruction or alteration
would effectively eliminate the continued use of the Premises in
the manner contemplated by this Lease; (2) Landlord is not
permitted by Law to rebuild the Building, the Campus or the Project
in substantially the same form as existed before the fire or
casualty; (3) the Premises have been materially damaged and
there is less than 2 years of the Term remaining on the date of the
casualty; (4) any Mortgagee requires that the insurance
proceeds be applied to the payment of the mortgage debt; or
(5) a material uninsured loss to the Building, the Campus or
the Project occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord will
not be entitled to terminate this Lease solely because there is
less than 2 years on the Term if Tenant has an exercisable right to
renew or extend the Term and Tenant, within 15 days after receipt
of Landlord’s written notice of termination, validly
exercises such right. The foregoing shall not prohibit Landlord
from exercising its right to terminate for any of the other reasons
set forth herein. Landlord may exercise its right to terminate this
Lease by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination as soon as
reasonably practicable (taking into consideration delays such as
adjustment of insurance claims), but in all circumstances within 90
days after the date of the casualty. If Landlord does not terminate
this Lease, Landlord shall commence and proceed with reasonable
diligence to repair and restore the Building and the Leasehold
Improvements (excluding any Alterations that were performed by
Tenant in violation of this Lease). However, in no event shall
Landlord be required to spend more than the insurance proceeds
received by Landlord together with any applicable deductible;
provided that if Landlord does not receive sufficient insurance
proceeds to substantially complete the restoration of the Premises
and Landlord elects not to fund any shortfall, Landlord shall so
notify Tenant immediately and Tenant, within 10 days after such
notification, shall have the right to terminate this Lease by the
giving of written notice to Landlord. Landlord shall not be liable
for any loss or damage to Tenant’s Property or to the
business of Tenant resulting in any way from the fire or other
casualty or from the repair and restoration of the damage. Landlord
and Tenant hereby waive the provisions of any Law relating to the
matters addressed in this Article, and agree that their respective
rights for damage to or destruction of the Premises shall be those
specifically provided in this Lease.

B.
|
If all or any portion of the Premises shall be made
untenantable (including due to the inaccessibility of the Premises)
by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall, with reasonable
promptness, cause an architect or general contractor selected by
Landlord to provide Landlord and Tenant with a written estimate of
the amount of time required to substantially complete the repair
and restoration of the Premises and make the Premises tenantable
again, using standard working methods (“Completion
Estimate”). If the Completion Estimate indicates that the
Premises cannot be made tenantable within 180 days from the date
the repair and restoration is started, then regardless of anything
in Section XVII.A above to the contrary, either party shall
have the right to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to
the other of such election within 10 days after receipt of the
Completion Estimate. Tenant, however, shall not have the right to
terminate this Lease if the fire or casualty was caused by the
negligence or intentional misconduct of Tenant, Tenant Related
Parties or any of Tenant’s transferees, contractors or
licensees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant was entitled to
but elected not to exercise its right to terminate the Lease and
Landlord does not substantially complete the repair and restoration
of the Premises within 2 months after the expiration of the
estimated period of time set forth in the Completion Estimate,
which period shall be extended to the extent of any Reconstruction
Delays, then Tenant may terminate this Lease by written notice to
Landlord within 15 days after the expiration of such period, as the
same may be extended. For purposes of this Lease, the term
“Reconstruction Delays” shall mean: (i) any delays
caused by the insurance adjustment process; (ii) any delays
caused by Tenant; and (iii) any delays caused by events of
Force Majeure.

C.

The provisions of this Lease, including this
Article XVII, 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, the Property,
the Campus or the Project, and any Laws, including, without
limitation, Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) of the California
Civil Code, with respect to any rights or obligations concerning
damage or destruction in the absence of an express agreement
between the parties, and any similar or successor Laws now or
hereinafter in effect, shall have no application to this Lease or
any damage or destruction to all or any part of the Premises, the
Building, the Property, the Campus or the Project.

Either party may terminate this Lease if the whole
or any material part of the Premises, of all reasonable access
