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:

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.

“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 .

hereunder) until the twenty-fourth (24 th ) anniversary

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

|
|
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 necessary or desirable to the Building, Campus
and/or Project.

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.

Building, the Campus or the Project or interferes with the
operation of the Building, the Campus or the Project. Tenant shall

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 the use, condition, configuration
and occupancy of the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Landlord, at its sole cost 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.
|
|
|
A.
|
Tenant shall (where practicable)
contract for and pay directly (at Tenant’s sole cost and
expense) when due, all services and utilities to the Premises,
including, but not limited to, heating, ventilation and
air-conditioning, electricity, 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.
per day/7 days per week, subject to
the terms of this Lease and such security or monitoring systems as
Landlord may reasonably impose, including, without limitation,
sign-in 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.

Leasehold
Improvements.
|
All improvements to the Premises
(collectively, “Leasehold improvements”) shall he owned

to Tenant. However, Landlord, by written notice to Tenant within 30
days prior to the Termination Date, may require Tenant to remove,
at Tenant’s expense: (1) Cable (defined in
Section IX.A) installed by or for the exclusive benefit of
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
would require removal and repair costs that are materially in
excess of the removal and repair costs associated with standard
office improvements (collectively referred to as “Required
Removables”). Without limitation, it is agreed that Required
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
improvements such as gypsum board, partitions, ceiling grids and
tiles, fluorescent lighting panels, Building standard doors and
non-glued down carpeting. The Required Removables designated by
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.

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

(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

Tenant’s sole cost and expense,
|
19.

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.

of at least $2,000,000.00. Except as specifically provided to the
contrary, the limits of either party’s insurance shall not
limit such party’s liability under this Lease.
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 thereto or all parking to which Tenant is
entitled to pursuant to the Parking Agreement and Landlord is
unable to provide reasonable alternative access or parking to
Tenant, shall be taken or condemned for any public or quasi-public
use under Law, by eminen
