to the terms of a certain sublease agreement (the, “
Sublease ”) between Tenant, as subtenant, and
E.Piphany, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “
Sublandlord ”), as sublandlord, which sublease
agreement, and the underlying primary lease between Landlord and
Sublandlord, are scheduled to expire, by their respective terms, as
of the day immediately preceding the Commencement Date described in
this Lease. Accordingly, subject to Landlord’s obligation to
perform Landlord Work, the Premises are accepted by Tenant in
“as is” condition and configuration without any
representations or warranties by Landlord. By taking possession of
the Premises, Tenant agrees that the Premises are in good order and
satisfactory condition.

forth in this Lease, all Base Rent and Additional Rent due for the
Term (collectively referred to as “ Rent ”).

Additional Rent shall be due and payable in advance on the first
day of each calendar month without notice or demand, provided that

or by other means acceptable to Landlord. Tenant shall pay Landlord

shall be considered a payment on account of the earliest Rent due.
Rent for any partial month during the Term shall be prorated. No
endorsement or statement on a check or letter accompanying payment
shall be considered an accord and satisfaction. Tenant’s
covenant to pay Rent is independent of every other covenant in this
Lease.

pay Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Taxes and Expenses in
accordance with Exhibit B of this Lease.

5.
Compliance with Laws; Use.
The Premises shall
be used for the Permitted Use and for no other use whatsoever.
Tenant shall comply with all statutes, codes, ordinances, orders,
rules and regulations of any municipal or governmental entity
whether in effect now or later, including the Americans with
Disabilities Act (“ Law(s) ”), regarding the
operation of Tenant’s business and the use, condition,
configuration and occupancy of the Premises. In addition, Tenant
shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly comply with any Laws
that relate to the “Base Building” (defined below), but
only to the extent such obligations are triggered by Tenant’s
use of the Premises, other than for general office use, or
Alterations or improvements in the Premises performed or requested
by Tenant. “ Base Building ” shall include the
structural portions of the Building, the public restrooms and the
Building mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems and equipment
located in the internal core of the Building on the floor or floors
on which the Premises are located. Tenant shall promptly provide
Landlord with copies of any notices it receives regarding an
alleged violation of Law. Tenant shall comply with the rules and
regulations of the Building attached as Exhibit E and
such other reasonable rules and regulations adopted by Landlord
from time to time, including rules and regulations for the
performance of Alterations (defined in Section 9).
The Security
Deposit shall be delivered to Landlord upon the execution of this
Lease by Tenant and 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 damages. Landlord may use all or a
portion of the Security Deposit to satisfy past due Rent, to cure
any Default (defined in Section 18) by Tenant, or to satisfy
any other loss or damage resulting from Tenant’s Default as
provided in Section 19. If Landlord uses any portion of the
Security Deposit, Tenant shall, within 5 days after demand,
restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Landlord shall
return any unapplied portion of the Security Deposit to Tenant
within 45 days after the later to occur of:
(a) determination of the final Rent due from Tenant; or
(b) the later to occur of the Termination Date or the date
Tenant surrenders the Premises to Landlord in compliance with
Section 25. Landlord may assign the Security Deposit to a
successor or transferee and, following the assignment, Landlord
shall have no further liability for the return of the Security
Deposit. 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.
7.01 Landlord
shall furnish Tenant with the following services: (a) water
for use in the Base Building lavatories; (b) customary heat
and air conditioning in season during Building Service Hours,
although Tenant shall have the right to receive HVAC service during
hours other than Building Service Hours by paying Landlord’s
then standard charge for additional HVAC service and providing such
prior notice as is reasonably specified by Landlord;
(c) standard janitorial service on Business Days;
(d) elevator service; (e) electricity in accordance with
the terms and conditions in Section 7.02; (f) access to
the Building for Tenant and its employees 24 hours per
day/7 days per week, subject to the terms of this Lease and
such protective services or monitoring systems, if any, as Landlord
may reasonably impose, including, without limitation, sign-in
procedures and/or presentation of identification cards; and
(g) such other services as Landlord reasonably determines are
necessary or appropriate for the Property.
7.02 Electricity
used by Tenant in the Premises shall be paid for by Tenant through
inclusion in Expenses (except as provided for excess usage).
Without the consent of Landlord, Tenant’s use of electrical
service shall not exceed, either in voltage, rated capacity, use
beyond Building Service Hours or overall load, that which Landlord
reasonably deems to be standard for the Building. Landlord shall
have the right to measure electrical usage by commonly accepted
methods, including the installation of measuring devices such as
submeters and check meters. If it is determined that Tenant is
using excess electricity, Tenant shall pay Landlord Additional Rent
for the cost of such excess electrical usage and for the cost of
purchasing and installing the measuring device(s).
7.03
Landlord’s failure to furnish, or any interruption,
diminishment or termination of services due to the application of
Laws, the failure of any equipment, the performance of repairs,
improvements or alterations, utility interruptions or the
occurrence of an event of Force Majeure (defined in
Section 26.03) (collectively a “ Service Failure
”) shall not render Landlord liable to Tenant, constitute a
constructive eviction of Tenant, give rise to an abatement of
Rent,
3
nor relieve
Tenant from the obligation to fulfill any covenant or agreement.
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.
8. Leasehold
Improvements.
All improvements
in and to the Premises, including any Alterations (defined in
Section 9.03) (collectively, “ Leasehold
Improvements ”) shall remain upon the Premises at the end
of the Term without compensation to Tenant, provided that Tenant,
at its expense, in compliance with the National Electric Code or
other applicable Law, shall remove any Cable (defined in
Section 9.01 below). In addition, Landlord, by written notice
to Tenant at least 30 days prior to the Termination Date, may
require Tenant, at its expense, to remove any Landlord Work or
Alterations that, 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 (the Cable and such other items
collectively are referred to as “ Required Removables
”). Required Removables shall include, without limitation,
internal stairways, raised floors, personal baths and showers,
vaults, rolling file systems and structural alterations and
modifications. The Required Removables shall be removed by Tenant
before the Termination Date. Tenant shall repair damage caused by
the installation or removal of Required Removables. If Tenant fails
to perform its obligations in a timely manner, Landlord may perform
such work at Tenant’s expense. Tenant, at the time it
requests approval for a proposed Alteration, including any Initial
Alterations or Landlord Work, as such terms may be defined in the
Work Letter attached as Exhibit C , may request in writing
that Landlord advise Tenant whether the Alteration, including any
Initial Alterations or Landlord Work, or any portion thereof, is 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 or other improvements are
Required Removables.
9. Repairs
and Alterations.
9.01 Tenant shall
periodically inspect the Premises to identify any conditions that
are dangerous or in need of maintenance or repair. Tenant shall
promptly provide Landlord with notice of any such conditions.
Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, perform all maintenance
and repairs to the Premises that are not Landlord’s express
responsibility under this Lease, and keep the Premises in good
condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted.
Tenant’s repair and maintenance obligations include, without
limitation, repairs to: (a) floor covering; (b) interior
partitions; (c) doors; (d) the interior side of demising

related equipment that is installed by or for the exclusive benefit
of Tenant (collectively, “ Cable ”);
(f) supplemental air conditioning units, kitchens, including
hot water heaters, plumbing, and similar facilities exclusively
serving Tenant; and (g) Alterations. Subject to the terms of
Section 15 below, to the extent Landlord is not reimbursed by
insurance proceeds, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of
repairing damage to the Building caused by the acts of Tenant,
Tenant Related Parties and their respective contractors and
vendors. If Tenant fails to make any repairs to the Premises for
more than 15 days after notice from Landlord (although notice
shall not be required in an emergency), Landlord may make the
repairs, and Tenant shall pay the reasonable cost of the repairs,
together with an administrative charge in an amount equal to 10% of
the cost of the repairs.
9.02 Landlord
shall keep and maintain in good repair and working order and
perform maintenance upon the: (a) structural elements of the
Building; (b) mechanical (including HVAC), electrical,
plumbing and fire/life safety systems serving the Building in
general; (c) Common Areas; (d) roof of the Building;
(e) exterior windows of the Building; and (f) elevators
serving the Building. Landlord shall promptly make repairs for
which Landlord is responsible. Tenant hereby waives any and all
rights under and benefits of subsection 1 of Section 1932, and
Sections 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code, or any
similar or successor Laws now or hereinafter in effect.
9.03 Tenant shall
not make alterations, repairs, additions or improvements or install
any Cable (collectively referred to as “ Alterations
”) without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord in
each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. However, Landlord’s consent shall not be required
for any Alteration that satisfies all of the
4
following
criteria (a “ Cosmetic Alteration ”):
(a) is of a cosmetic nature such as painting, wallpapering,
hanging pictures and installing carpeting; (b) is not visible
from the exterior of the Premises or Building; (c) will not
affect the Base Building; and (d) does not require work to be
performed inside the walls or above the ceiling of the Premises.
Cosmetic Alterations shall be subject to all the other provisions
of this Section 9.03. Prior to starting work, Tenant shall
furnish Landlord with plans and specifications; names of
contractors reasonably acceptable to Landlord (provided that
Landlord may designate specific contractors with respect to Base
Building); required permits and approvals; evidence of
contractor’s and subcontractor’s insurance in amounts
reasonably required by Landlord and naming Landlord as an
additional insured; and any security for performance in amounts
reasonably required by Landlord. Changes to the plans and
specifications must also be submitted to Landlord for its approval.
Alterations shall be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner
using materials of a quality reasonably approved by Landlord.
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any sums paid by Landlord for
third party examination of Tenant’s plans for non-Cosmetic
Alterations. In addition, Tenant shall pay Landlord a fee for
Landlord’s oversight and coordination of any non-Cosmetic
Alterations equal to 10% of the cost of the non-Cosmetic
Alterations. Upon completion, Tenant shall furnish
“as-built” plans for non-Cosmetic Alterations,
completion affidavits and full and final waivers of lien.
Landlord’s approval of an Alteration shall not be deemed a
representation by Landlord that the Alteration complies with
Law.
Landlord may enter
the Premises to inspect, show or clean the Premises or to perform
or facilitate the performance of repairs, alterations or additions
to the Premises or any portion of the Building. Except in
emergencies or to provide Building services, Landlord shall provide
Tenant with reasonable prior verbal notice of entry and shall use
reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with Tenant’s
use of the Premises. If reasonably necessary, Landlord may
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 Building Service Hours. Entry by
Landlord shall not constitute a constructive eviction or entitle
Tenant to an abatement or reduction of Rent.
11.
Assignment and Subletting.
11.01 Except in
connection with a Permitted Transfer (defined in
Section 11.04), 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 exercise its recapture
rights under Section 11.02. If the entity(ies) which directly
or indirectly controls the voting shares/rights of Tenant changes
at any time, such change of ownership or control shall constitute a
Transfer unless Tenant is an entity whose outstanding stock is
listed on a recognized securities exchange or if at least 80% of
its voting stock is owned by another entity, the voting stock of
which is so listed. 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 Transfer in violation of this Section shall, at
Landlord’s option, be deemed a Default by Tenant as described
in Section 18, and shall be voidable by Landlord. In no event
shall any Transfer, including a Permitted Transfer, release or
relieve Tenant from any obligation under this Lease.
11.02 Tenant shall
provide Landlord with financial statements for the proposed
transferee, a fully executed copy of the proposed assignment,
sublease or other Transfer documentation and such other information
as Landlord may reasonably request. Within 15 Business Days after
receipt of the required information and documentation, Landlord
shall either: (a) consent to the Transfer by execution of a
consent agreement in a form reasonably designated by Landlord;
(b) reasonably refuse to consent to the Transfer in writing;
or (c) in the event of an assignment of this Lease or
subletting of more than 20% of the Rentable Square Footage of the
Premises for more than 50% of the remaining Term (excluding
unexercised options), recapture the portion of the Premises that
Tenant is proposing to Transfer. If Landlord exercises its right to
recapture, this Lease shall automatically be amended (or terminated
if the entire Premises is being assigned or sublet) to delete the
applicable portion of the Premises effective on the proposed
effective date of the Transfer, although Landlord may require
Tenant to execute a reasonable amendment or other document
reflecting such reduction or termination. Tenant shall pay Landlord
a review fee of $1,500.00 for Landlord’s review of any
Permitted Transfer or requested Transfer.
5
11.03 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 the excess within 30 days after
Tenant’s receipt of the excess. Tenant may deduct from the
excess, on a straight-line basis, all reasonable and customary
expenses directly incurred by Tenant attributable to the Transfer.
If Tenant is in Default, 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 Tenant’s share
of payments received by Landlord.
11.04 Tenant may
assign this Lease to a successor to Tenant by purchase, merger,
consolidation or reorganization (an “ Ownership Change
”) or assign this Lease or sublet all or a portion of the
Premises to an Affiliate without the consent of Landlord, provided
that all of the following conditions are satisfied (a “
Permitted Transfer ”): (a) Tenant is not in
Default; (b) in the event of an Ownership Change,
Tenant’s successor shall own substantially all of the assets
of Tenant and have a net worth which is at least equal to
Tenant’s net worth as of the day prior to the proposed
Ownership Change, or in the event of a Transfer to an Affiliate
(defined below), Tenant continues to have a net worth equal to or
greater than Tenant’s net worth at the date of this Lease or
the Affiliate has a net worth equal to Tenant’s net worth at
the date of this Lease; (c) the Permitted Use does not allow
the Premises to be used for retail purposes; and (d) Tenant
shall give Landlord written notice at least 15 Business Days prior
to the effective date of the Permitted Transfer. Tenant’s
notice to Landlord shall include information and documentation
evidencing the Permitted Transfer and 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. “ Affiliate ” shall
mean an entity controlled by, controlling or under common control
with Tenant.
Tenant shall not
permit mechanics’ or other liens to be placed upon the
Property, Premises or Tenant’s leasehold interest in
connection with any work or service done or purportedly done by or
for the benefit of Tenant or its transferees. Tenant shall give
Landlord notice at least 15 days prior to the commencement of
any work in the Premises to afford Landlord the opportunity, where
applicable, to post and record notices of non-responsibility.
Tenant, within 10 days of notice from Landlord, shall fully
discharge any lien by settlement, by bonding or by insuring over
the lien in the manner prescribed by the applicable lien Law and,
if Tenant fails to do so, Tenant shall be deemed in Default under
this Lease and, in addition to any other remedies available to
Landlord as a result of such Default by Tenant, Landlord, at its
option , may bond, insure over or otherwise discharge the
lien. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any amount paid by
Landlord, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees.
13.
Indemnity and Waiver of Claims.
Except to the
extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord
or any Landlord Related Parties (defined below), Tenant shall
indemnify, defend and hold Landlord and Landlord Related Parties
harmless against and from all liabilities, obligations, damages,
penalties, claims, actions, costs, charges and expenses, including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other
professional fees (if and to the extent permitted by Law)
(collectively referred to as “ Losses ”), which
may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against Landlord or
any of the Landlord Related Parties by any third party and arising
out of or in connection with any damage or injury occurring in the
Premises or any acts or omissions (including violations of Law) of
Tenant, the Tenant Related Parties (defined below) or any of
Tenant’s transferees, contractors or licensees. Except to the
extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or
any Tenant Related Parties, Landlord shall indemnify, defend and
hold Tenant, its trustees, members, principals, beneficiaries,
partners, officers, directors, employees and agents (“
Tenant Related Parties ”) harmless against and from
all Losses which may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted
against Tenant or any of the Tenant Related Parties by any third
party and arising out of or in connection with the acts or
omissions (including violations of Law) of Landlord or the Landlord
Related Parties. Tenant hereby waives all claims against and
releases Landlord and its trustees, members, principals,
beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, employees, Mortgagees
(defined in Section 23) and agents (the “ Landlord
Related Parties ”) from all claims for any injury to or
death of persons, damage to property or business loss in any manner
related to (a) Force Majeure, (b) acts of third parties,
(c) the bursting or leaking of any tank, water closet, drain

with possession of the Premises, and thereafter as necessary to
assure that Landlord always has current certificates evidencing
Tenant’s Insurance. So long as the same is available at
commercially reasonable rates, Landlord shall maintain so called
All Risk property insurance on the Building at replacement cost
value as reasonably estimated by Landlord, together with such other
insurance coverage as Landlord, in its reasonable judgment, may
elect to maintain.
Landlord and

or causes of action against the other for any loss or damage with
respect to Tenant’s Property, Leasehold Improvements, the
Building, the Premises, or any contents thereof, including rights,
claims, actions and causes of action based on negligence, which
loss or damage is (or would have been, had the insurance required
by this Lease been carried) covered by insurance. For the purposes
of this waiver, any deductible with respect to a party’s
insurance shall be deemed covered by and recoverable by such party
under valid and collectable policies of insurance.
16.01 If all or
any portion of the Premises becomes untenantable by fire or other
casualty to the Premises (collectively a “ Casualty
”), Landlord, with reasonable promptness, shall cause a
general contractor selected by Landlord to provide Landlord and
Tenant with a written estimate of the amount of time required using
standard working methods to Substantially Complete the repair and
restoration of the Premises and any Common Areas necessary to
provide access to the Premises (“ Completion Estimate
”). If the Completion Estimate indicates that the Premises or
any Common Areas necessary to provide access to the Premises cannot
be made tenantable within 270 days from the date the repair is
started, then either party shall have the right to terminate this
Lease upon written notice to the other within 10 days after
receipt of the Completion Estimate. Tenant, however, shall not have
the right to terminate this Lease if the Casualty was caused by the
negligence or intentional misconduct of Tenant or any Tenant
Related Parties. In addition, Landlord, by notice to Tenant within
90 days after the date of the Casualty, shall have the right
to terminate this Lease if: (1) the Premises have been
materially damaged and there is less than 2 years of the Term
remaining on the date of the Casualty; (2) any Mortgagee
requires that the insurance proceeds be applied to the payment of
the mortgage debt; or (3) a material uninsured loss to the
Building or Premises occurs.
16.02 If this
Lease is not terminated, Landlord shall promptly and diligently,
subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustment or other
matters beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, restore the
Premises and Common Areas. Such restoration shall be to
substantially the same condition that existed prior to the
Casualty, except for modifications required by Law or any other
modifications to the Common Areas deemed desirable by Landlord.
Upon notice from Landlord, Tenant shall assign or endorse over to
Landlord (or to any party designated by
7
Landlord) all
property insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant’s
Insurance with respect to any Leasehold Improvements performed by
or for the benefit of Tenant; provided if the estimated cost to
repair such Leasehold Improvements exceeds the amount of insurance
proceeds received by Landlord from Tenant’s insurance
carrier, the excess cost of such repairs shall be paid by Tenant to
Landlord prior to Landlord’s commencement of repairs. Within
15 days of demand, Tenant shall also pay Landlord for any
additional excess costs that are determined during the performance
of the repairs. In no event shall Landlord be required to spend
more for the restoration than the proceeds received by Landlord,
whether insurance proceeds or proceeds from Tenant. Landlord shall
not be liable for any inconvenience to Tenant, or injury to
Tenant’s business resulting in any way from the Casualty or
the repair thereof. Provided that Tenant is not in Default, during
any period of time that all or a material portion of the Premises
is rendered untenantable as a result of a Casualty, the Rent shall
abate for the portion of the Premises that is untenantable and not
used by Tenant.
16.03 The
provisions of this Lease, including this Section 16,
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 or the Property, 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 or the
Property.
Either party may
terminate this Lease if any material part of the Premises is taken
or condemned for any public or quasi-public use under Law, by
eminent domain or private purchase in lieu thereof (a “
Taking ”). Landlord shall also have the right to
terminate this Lease if there is a Taking of any portion of the
Building or Property which would have a material adverse effect on
Landlord’s ability to profitably operate the remainder of the
Building. The terminating party shall provide written notice of
termination to the other party within 45 days after it first
receives notice of the Taking. The termination shall be effective
as of the effective date of any order granting possession to, or
vesting legal title in, the condemning authority. If this Lease is
not terminated, Base Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share shall
be appropriately adjusted to account for any reduction in the
square footage of the Building or Premises. All compensation
awarded for a Taking shall be the property of Landlord. The right
to receive compensation or proceeds are expressly waived by Tenant,
however, Tenant may file a separate claim for Tenant’s
Property and Tenant’s reasonable relocation expenses,
provided the filing of the claim does not diminish the amount of
Landlord’s award. If only a part of the Premises is subject
to a Taking and this Lease is not terminated, Landlord, with
reasonable diligence, will restore the remaining portion of the
Premises as nearly as practicable to the condition immediately
prior to the Taking. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it
might otherwise have pursuant to Section 1265.130 of the
California Code of Civil Procedure, or any similar or successor
Laws.
In addition to any
other default specifically described in this Lease, each of the
following occurrences shall be a “ Default ”:
(a) Tenant’s failure to pay any portion of Rent when
due, if the failure continues for 3 days after written notice
to Tenant (“ Monetary Default ”);
(b) Tenant’s failure (other than a Monetary Default) to
comply with any term, provision, condition or covenant of this
Lease, if the failure is not cured within 10 days after
written notice to Tenant provided, however, if Tenant’s
failure to comply cannot reasonably be cured within 10 days,
Tenant shall be allowed additional time (not to exceed
60 days) as is reasonably necessary to cure the failure so
long as Tenant begins the cure within 10 days and diligently
pursues the cure to completion; (c) Tenant permits a Transfer
without Landlord’s required approval or otherwise in
violation of Section 11 of this Lease; (d) Tenant or any
Guarantor becomes insolvent, makes a transfer in fraud of
creditors, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, admits
in writing its inability to pay its debts when due or forfeits or
loses its right to conduct business; (e) the leasehold estate
is taken by process or operation of Law; (f) in the case of
any ground floor or retail Tenant, Tenant does not take possession
of or abandons or vacates all or any portion of the Premises; or

any other lease or agreement with Landlord at the Building or
Property. If Landlord provides Tenant with notice of
