STANDARD LEASE
AGREEMENT
(OFFICE)
This Standard Lease Agreement
(“ Lease ”) is made and entered into by the
Landlord and Tenant referred to in the Basic Lease Information. The
Basic Lease Information attached to this Lease as page 1 and page 2
is hereby incorporated into this Lease by this
reference.
1. PREMISES
(a) This Lease shall be effective as
between Landlord and Tenant as of the Lease Date. Landlord hereby
leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord upon the
terms and conditions contained herein the Premises, which are more
particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto and made
a part hereof (the “ Premises ”), including the
tenant improvements (the “ Tenant Improvements
”) thereon presently existing or to be constructed in
accordance with the “Tenant Improvement Agreement”
attached as Exhibit B , which is made a part hereof by this
reference. As hereinafter used in this Lease, the term
“Building” shall refer to the entire structure
in which the Premises are located, the term “Lot” shall
refer to the Assessor’s tax parcel on which the Building is
situated, and the term “Project” shall collectively
refer to the Lot, the Building, and the Project Common Areas. This
Lease confers no rights either with regard to the subsurface of the
land below the ground level of the Building or with regard to
airspace above the roof of the Building.
2. ACCEPTANCE OF
PREMISES
Except as otherwise provided in this
Lease, Tenant’s taking possession of the Premises shall
constitute Tenant’s acknowledgment that the Premises are in
good condition and that the Tenant Improvements are constructed in
accordance with the Tenant Improvement Agreement, and that Tenant
agrees to accept the same in its condition existing as of the date
of such entry and subject to all applicable municipal, county,
state and federal statutes, laws, ordinances, including zoning
ordinances, and regulations governing and relating to the use,
occupancy or possession of the Premises. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, within fifteen (15) days following the date that
Tenant takes possession of the Premises, Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord a list of items ( “Punch List Items” )
that Tenant reasonably deems that Landlord must complete or correct
in order for the Premises to be reasonably acceptable (which shall
not include any items damaged by Tenant, its agents, employees,
contractors and/or subcontractors) per Exhibit B. Within thirty
(30) days following Landlord’s receipt of the Punch List
Items, to the extent commercially possible, Landlord shall complete
and/or correct such items set forth on the Punch List Items using
its good faith efforts and due diligence. No promise of Landlord to
alter, remodel, repair or improve the Premises or the Building and
no representation, express or implied, respecting any matter or
thing related to the Premises or Building or this Lease (including,
without limitation, the condition of the Building or Premises) have
been made to Tenant by Landlord, its agents or employees, other
than as set forth in the Tenant Improvement Agreement and as
otherwise provided in this Lease.
3. PROJECT COMMON
AREAS
The term “Project Common
Areas” shall refer to all areas and facilities outside
the Premises and within the Project that are provided and
designated by Landlord from time to time for the general
nonexclusive use of Landlord, Tenant, and of other lessees in the
Project and their respective employees, suppliers, shippers,
customers, and invitees. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant, during
the term of this Lease, the nonexclusive right to use, in common
with others entitled to such use, the Project Common Areas as they
exist from time to time, subject to any rules, regulations, and
restrictions governing the use of the Project as from time to time
made or amended by Landlord. Under no circumstances shall the right
granted herein to use the Project Common Areas be deemed to include
the right to store any property in the Project Common Areas.
Provided that Landlord, using its commercially reasonable efforts,
does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the
Premises, Landlord reserves the right at any time and from time to
time, to: (i) make alterations in or additions to the Project
and to the Project Common Areas; (ii) close the Project Common
Areas to whatever extent required in the opinion of
Landlord’s counsel to prevent a dedication of any of the
Project Common Areas or the accrual of any rights of any person or
of the public to the Project Common Areas; (iii) temporarily
close any of the Project Common Areas for maintenance purposes; and
(iv) promulgate reasonable and nondiscriminatory rules and
regulations governing the use of the Project Common
Areas.
4. TERM AND
POSSESSION
Subject to and upon the terms and
conditions set forth herein, the Term of this Lease shall be for
the period specified in the Basic Lease Information, commencing
upon the earlier of the following dates (the “Scheduled
Lease Commencement Date” ): (i) the date on which
the Premises are Substantially Complete (as defined below);
(ii) the date on which the Premises would have been
Substantially Complete had there been no delays caused by or
attributable to the Tenant; or (iii) the date upon which the
Tenant takes possession of the Premises with the Landlord’s
written consent. Landlord shall give Tenant forty-five
(45) days prior written notice as to when the Scheduled Lease
Commencement Date shall occur. Within thirty (30) days after
the Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an
amendment to this Lease ( “First Amendment to Lease and
Acknowledgment” ) setting forth the Lease Commencement
Date and the expiration date of the term of the Lease, which shall
be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C . For purposes
of the foregoing, the Premises shall be deemed to be
“Substantially Complete” when (i) Tenant is
tendered direct access to the Premises with building services
(sanitary sewer, public water, electrical, elevator, HVAC service
and fire suppression services operational) ready to be furnished to
the Premises, (ii) a certificate of occupancy (temporary or
final) has been issued by the
eHealth Lease 06/04/04 – Page 3
appropriate governmental entity, and
(iii) the identified construction to be provided by Landlord,
as set forth in the Tenant Improvement Agreement has been
completed, with the exception of the Punch List Items. Landlord
shall provide Tenant with not less than thirty (30) days prior
written notice of the anticipated date that the Premises shall be
Substantially Complete. Tenant shall be permitted access to the
Premises prior to the Commencement Date to perform construction
relating to the installation of telephone, computers, data/phone
cabling, furniture and special fixtures not installed by Landlord,
provided Tenant does not interfere or impede Landlord in
construction of tenant improvements, and provided further that
evidence of insurance as hereinafter required is delivered to
Landlord prior to occupancy. Landlord shall Substantially Complete
the Premises by the Scheduled Lease Commencement Date as set forth
in the Basic Lease Information, plus extensions thereto equal to
the durations of (i) any delays beyond the reasonable control
of Landlord, such as acts of God, fire, earthquake, acts of a
public enemy, riot, insurrection, unavailability of materials,
governmental delays in issuing permits, approvals or inspections,
governmental restrictions on the sale of materials or supplies or
on the transportation of such materials or supplies, strike or
shortages directly affecting construction or transportation of
materials or supplies, shortages of materials or labor resulting
from government controls, weather conditions, or any other cause or
events beyond the reasonable control of Landlord (collectively,
“Force Majeure Event” ), or (ii) delays
caused by or attributable to the Tenant ( “Tenant
Delays” ). The parties agree that if Landlord is unable
to Substantially Complete the Premises by the Scheduled Lease
Commencement Date, plus any extension thereto pursuant to this
Section, this Lease shall not be void or voidable, nor shall
Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting
therefrom, and the expiration date of the Term of this Lease shall
be extended for such delay; but in such event, Tenant shall not be
liable for any Rent until the Lease Commencement Date; provided,
however if such delays were caused or attributable to the Tenant,
Rent shall commence as of the Scheduled Lease Commencement Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and provided that the Lease
Agreement is fully executed by June 14, 2004, in the event
Landlord is unable to Substantially Complete the Premises by
December 22, 2004 for any reason (other than as a result of
Tenant Delays). (i) Tenant shall receive two (2) rent free
days for each day following December 22, 2004 that Landlord is
unable to Substantially Complete the Premises and deliver
possession to Tenant, and (ii) if Landlord’s failure to
Substantially Complete the Premises continues for a period longer
than sixty (60) days after the December 22, 2004 date.
Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease without further
liability and receive a full refund of the Security Deposit
(defined below) upon written notice to that effect delivered to
Landlord at any time after such sixty (60) day period and
prior to the date that Landlord is able to Substantially Complete
the Premises and tender possession of the Premises to
Tenant.
5. BASE RENT
(a) Tenant agrees to pay Landlord
the Base Rent for the Premises, without prior notice, demand,
deduction or offset (except as expressly set forth in this Lease),
as adjusted from time to time in the manner set forth in this
Section 5. Landlord agrees to accept payment of Base Rent
pursuant to wire transfer from Tenant. The term
“Rent” as used in this Lease shall mean Base
Rent, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses and
any other amounts owing from Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the
provisions of this Lease. The Base Rent shall be payable in advance
on or before the first day of each month throughout the term of the
Lease. Base Rent for any period during the term hereof which is for
less than one month shall be a prorated portion of the monthly
installment based upon a thirty (30) day month.
(b) The Base Rent shall be as
follows:
Months
00-05: Free of Rent and Operating
Expenses.
Months
06-35: $1.76 per rentable square foot
per month.
Months
36-65: $1.85 per rentable square foot per
month.
(c) If the amount of Rent or any
other payments due under this Lease violates the terms of any
governmental restrictions on such Rent or payment, then the Rent or
payment due during the period of such restrictions shall be the
maximum amount allowable under those restrictions.
6. SECURITY
DEPOSIT
Tenant agrees to deposit with
Landlord upon execution of this Lease, a security deposit as stated
in the Basic Lease Information (the “ Security Deposit
”), which sum shall be held and owned by Landlord, without
obligation to pay interest, as security for the performance of
Tenant’s covenants and obligations under this Lease. The
Security Deposit is not an advance rental deposit or a measure of
damages incurred by Landlord in case of Tenant’s default.
Upon the occurrence of any event of default by Tenant, Landlord may
from time to time, without prejudice to any other remedy provided
herein or by law, use such fund as a credit to the extent necessary
to credit against any arrears of Rent or other payments due to
Landlord hereunder, and any other foreseeable damage, injury,
expense or liability caused by such event of default, and Tenant
shall pay to Landlord, on demand, the amount so applied in order to
restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Although the
Security Deposit shall be deemed the property of Landlord, any
remaining balance of such deposit shall be returned by Landlord to
Tenant within forty five (45) days after the termination of
this Lease, reduced by such amounts as may be reasonably required
by Landlord to remedy defaults on the part of Tenant in the payment
of Rent or other obligations of Tenant under this Lease, to repair
damage to the Premises, Building or Project caused by Tenant or any
Tenant’s Parties and to clean the Premises. Landlord may use
and co-mingle the Security Deposit with other funds of Landlord.
Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the
California Civil Code, and all other provisions of any Regulations,
now or hereinafter in force, which restricts the amount or types of
claim that a landlord may make upon a security deposit or imposes
upon a landlord (or its successors) any obligation with respect to
the handling or return of security deposits.

other leases, or (4) any occupancy, use, per capita or other
tax, assessment, levy or charge based directly or indirectly upon
the use or occupancy of the Premises or other premises within the
Building or the Project, then any such taxes, assessments, levies
and charges shall be deemed to be included in real property taxes
and assessments (real estate taxes and assessments shall also
include the reasonable cost to Landlord of contesting the amount,
validity, or applicability of any real estate taxes and
assessments); (xvi) costs associated with the maintenance of
the Building management offices or related facilities in the
Building, including the fair rental value of any space occupied for

management company to provide such services (in no event, however,
will such management office or related facility exceed 2,000 square
feet); and (xvii) all other reasonable or necessary expenses
paid in connection with the operation, maintenance, repair,
replacement and cleaning of the Project and Building.
Any costs or expenses of the nature
described above shall be included in Operating Expenses for any
Lease Year no more than once, notwithstanding that such cost or
expenses may fall under more than one of the categories listed
above. Operating Expenses shall not be reduced as a result of
Tenant performing for itself any of the services that Landlord
provides for the Project or the tenants thereof. Landlord may use
related or affiliated entities to provide service or furnish
materials for the Project; provided the fees and charges of such
related and affiliated entities do not exceed the reasonable fees
charged in the applicable industry for a project similar to the
Project.
The Operating Expenses that vary
with occupancy ( “Varying Operating Expenses” )
and that are attributable to any Lease Year (including the Base
Year) in which less than ninety-five percent (95.00%) of the
rentable area of the Building is occupied by tenants will be
adjusted by Landlord to the amount that Landlord reasonably
believes they would have been if ninety-five percent
(95.00%) of the rentable area of the Building had been
occupied. Additionally, Real Estate Taxes for the Base Year shall
be adjusted to be based upon a fully completed Building, with full
completion of all tenant improvements constructed therein
consistent with finishes generally utilized by similar first-class
projects in the vicinity of the Building.
Operating Expenses specifically
exclude the items listed in Exhibit I “Exclusion From
Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes.”
|
|
(4)
|
Tenant’s
Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses shall be payable by
Tenant to Landlord as follows:
|
|
|
(i)
|
Beginning with
the Lease Year following the Base Year and for each Lease Year
thereafter, Tenant shall pay Landlord an amount equal to
Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Operating Expenses
incurred by Landlord in the Lease Year which exceeds the total
amount of Operating Expenses payable by Landlord for the Base Year.
This excess is referred to as the “ Excess Expenses.
”
|
|
|
(ii)
|
To provide for
current payments of Excess Expenses, Tenant shall, at
Landlord’s request, pay as additional rent during each Lease
Year, an amount equal to Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the
Excess Expenses payable during such Lease Year, as estimated and
modified by Landlord from time to time, but not in excess of once
per Lease Year. Such payments shall be made in monthly
installments, commencing on the first day of the month following
the month in which Landlord notifies Tenant of the amount it is to
pay hereunder and continuing until the first day of the month
following the month in which Landlord gives Tenant a new notice of
estimated Excess Expenses. It is the intention hereunder to
estimate from time to time the amount of the Excess Expenses for
each Lease Year, including the Lease Year immediately following the
Base Year, and Tenant’s Proportionate Share thereof, and then
to make an adjustment in the following year based on the actual
Excess Expenses incurred for that Lease Year.
|
|
|
(iii)
|
On or before
April 1 of each Lease Year after the first Lease Year (or as
soon thereafter as is practical), Landlord shall deliver to Tenant
a statement ( “Expense Statement” ) setting
forth Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Excess Expenses for
the preceding Lease Year; provided, however, that the failure of
Landlord to supply such statement shall not constitute a waiver of
Landlord’s rights to collect for such Excess Expenses,
except, however, in the event that Landlord’s failure to
provide such statement exceeds three hundred sixty five
(365) days after the Expiration Date
|
eHealth Lease 06/04/04 – Page 6
of the Lease, Landlord’s right
to collect such Excess Expenses shall terminate at such time. If
Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the actual Excess Expenses
for the previous Lease Year exceeds the total of the estimated
monthly payments made by Tenant for such year, Tenant shall pay
Landlord the amount of the deficiency within thirty (30) days
of the receipt of the statement. If such total exceeds
Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the actual Excess Expenses
for such Lease Year, then Landlord shall credit against
Tenant’s next ensuing monthly installment(s) of Excess
Expense an amount equal to the difference until the credit is
exhausted. If a credit is due from Landlord on the Expiration Date,
Landlord shall pay Tenant the amount of the credit within thirty
(30) days following the determination of such amount. The
obligations of Tenant and Landlord to make payments required under
this Section 7 shall survive the Expiration Date.
Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Excess Expenses in any Lease
Year having less than 365 days shall be appropriately
prorated.
|
|
(iv)
|
For a period of
six (6) months after receipt of the Expense Statement, Tenant,
or its representatives, shall be entitled, upon ten (10) days
prior written notice and during normal business hours, at the
office of the Building’s property manager or such other place
as Landlord shall reasonably designate, to inspect, copy and
examine those books and records of Landlord relating to the
determination of Excess Expenses for the immediately preceding
Lease Year. Failure of Tenant to request such inspection within
such six (6) month period shall render such Expense Statement
conclusive and binding on Tenant. If, after inspection and
examination of such books and records, Tenant disputes the amounts
of the Excess Expenses charged by Landlord, Tenant may, by written
notice to Landlord, request an independent audit of such books and
records. The independent audit of the books and records shall be
conducted by an independent public accounting firm reasonably
acceptable to both Landlord and Tenant, which shall be compensated
on an hourly basis only. If, within thirty (30) days after
Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice requesting an
audit, Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on an independent
public accounting firm to conduct such audit, then Landlord may
designate a nationally recognized accounting firm not then employed
by Landlord or Tenant to conduct such audit. The audit shall be
limited to the determination of the amount of Excess Expenses for
the subject Lease Year. If the audit discloses that the amount of
Excess Expenses billed to Tenant was incorrect, the appropriate
party shall pay to the other party the deficiency or overpayment,
as applicable. All costs and expenses of the audit shall be paid by
Tenant unless the audit shows that Landlord overstated Excess
Expenses for the subject Lease Year by more than five percent
(5.00%), in which case Landlord shall pay all costs and expenses of
the audit. Tenant and the CPA shall keep any information gained
from such audit confidential and shall not disclose it to any other
party. The exercise by Tenant of the audit rights hereunder shall
not relieve Tenant of its obligation to timely pay all sums due
hereunder, except the disputed Excess Expenses which shall be paid
by Tenant within fifteen (15) days of the completion of the
audit.

8. USE
Tenant shall use the Premises for
the uses set forth in the Basic Lease Information, and shall not
use the Premises for any other purposes. Tenant shall be solely
responsible for obtaining any necessary governmental approvals of
such use. Tenant shall not do, bring, or keep anything in or about
the Premises that will cause a cancellation of any insurance
covering the Premises. If the rate of any insurance carried by
Landlord is increased as a result of Tenant’s use, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord within thirty (30) days before the date
Landlord is obligated to pay a premium on the insurance, or within
thirty (30) days after Landlord delivers to Tenant a certified
statement from Landlord’s insurance carrier stating that the
rate increase was caused solely by an activity of Tenant on the
Premises as permitted in this Lease, whichever date is later, a sum
equal to the difference between the original premium and the
increased premium. Landlord reserves the right to prescribe the
weight and position of all safes, fixtures and heavy installations
that Tenant desires to place in the Premises so as to distribute
properly the weight, or to require plans prepared by a qualified
structural engineer for such heavy objects, which shall be prepared
at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.
9. COMPLIANCE WITH THE
LAW
(a) Tenant shall not use the
Premises or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises
which will in any way conflict with any law, statute, zoning
restriction, ordinance or governmental law or rule, regulation, or
requirement of any duly constituted public authorities now in force
or which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated, or subject
Landlord to any liability for injury to any person or property by
reason of any business operation being conducted in or about the
Premises. Subject to Section 9(b) below, to the extent
required due to Tenant’s specific use of the Premises,
alterations of the Premises, or as a result of Tenant’s
application for permits or authorizations, as opposed to compliance
required by all tenants of the Project, Tenant shall, at its sole
cost and expense, promptly comply with all laws, statutes,
ordinances, and governmental rules, regulations, including, but not
limited to, the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ ADA
”) of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq .), any
amendment thereto or regulations promulgated thereunder, or state
or local ordinances or codes enacted pursuant thereto; or
requirements of any board or fire insurance underwriters or other
similar bodies, now or hereafter constituted, relating to or
affecting the condition, use, or occupancy of the Premises by
Tenant, excluding structural changes not related to or affected by
Tenant’s improvements or acts. The final judgment of any
court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Tenant in any
action against Tenant, whether Landlord be a party thereto or not,
that Tenant has violated any law, statute, ordinance, or
governmental rule, regulation, or requirement, shall be conclusive
of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant.
eHealth Lease 06/04/04 – Page 7
(b) Landlord represents and warrants
that the Building, Premises and Project Common Area, as of the
Commencement Date to the extent such were constructed by or caused
to be constructed by Landlord, are in compliance with all laws,
statutes, ordinances and governmental rules, regulations including,
but not limited to ADA. At its sole expense, Landlord shall correct
any noncompliance noted by Tenant (only to the extent that such
non-compliance existed under the laws effective at the Commencement
Date of the Lease), in writing during the period of one hundred and
eighty (180) days after the Commencement Date (the
“Warranty Period”). The foregoing representation and
warranty of Landlord does not (i) include any improvements
constructed or caused to be constructed by any other tenant of the
Project and/or Tenant, and/or (ii) affect the Tenant’s
obligations pursuant to Section 9(a) above and/or
(iii) apply to the use to which Tenant will put the Premises.
In the event Landlord’s representation or warranty in this
section is finally determined to be incorrect, as Tenant’s
sole remedy, Landlord shall be responsible for promptly taking
actions to cause such compliance, at Landlord’s sole cost and
expense.
10. ALTERATIONS AND
ADDITIONS
(a) Excepting the supplemental HVAC
approved by Landlord pursuant to Schedule 2 to Exhibit
B attached hereto, Tenant shall not make or suffer to be
made any non-structural alterations, additions, or improvements
(collectively, “Alterations” ) to or of the
Premises, or any part thereof, without first obtaining the written
consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed; provided, however, if the Alterations would adversely
affect the structure or safety of the Building or its electrical,
plumbing, HVAC, mechanical or safety systems, or if such
Alterations would create an obligation on Landlord’s part to
make modifications to the Building, Landlord may withhold its
consent in its sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, without the prior consent of Landlord, but with the
prior notice to Landlord, Tenant shall be entitled to make
Alterations within the Premises, provided that (i) the cost of
construction such Alterations does not exceed Ten Thousand and
No/l00ths Dollars ($10,000.00) per project in the aggregate, and
(ii) does not effect the plumbing, electrical, structural or
mechanical systems of the Building, and (iii) Tenant otherwise
complies with the provisions of this Section. All Alterations shall
comply with all applicable laws, statutes and ordinances, which
include, but are not limited to ADA. Any Alterations to or of said
Premises, including, but not limited to, wall covering, paneling,
and built-in cabinet work, but excepting movable furniture and
trade fixtures, shall on the expiration of the Term become a part
of the realty and belong to Landlord, and shall be surrendered with
the Premises. However, Landlord shall provide written notice to
Tenant prior to the construction of such Alteration whether Tenant
will be required to remove such Alteration and restore the Premises
to its original condition upon the expiration of the Term. If
Landlord so states, Tenant, at its own cost shall restore the
Premises to its original condition upon the expiration of the Term.
Upon Landlord’s approval of the requested Alterations, Tenant
shall secure all necessary permits, if applicable. Before
Landlord’s consent to such Alterations, Tenant shall submit
detailed specifications, floor plans and necessary permits (if
applicable) to Landlord for review. In no event shall any
Alterations affect the structure of the Building or its facade. As
a condition to its consent, Landlord may request adequate assurance
that all contractors who will perform such work have in force
workman’s compensation and such other employee and public
liability insurance as Landlord deems necessary, and where the
Alterations are material, Landlord may require Tenant or its
contractors to post adequate completion and performance bonds. In
the event Landlord consents to the making of any Alterations to the
Premises by Tenant, the same shall be made by Tenant at
Tenant’s sole cost and expense, completed to the reasonable
satisfaction of Landlord, and the contractor or person selected by
Tenant to make the same must first be approved in writing by
Landlord which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. If Tenant makes any Alterations to the Premises as
provided in this Section, the Alterations shall not be commenced
until ten (10) business days after Landlord has received
notice from Tenant stating the date the installation of the
Alterations is to commence so that Landlord can post and record an
appropriate notice of non-responsibility. Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord for any expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with
the Alterations made by Tenant, including any reasonable fees
charged by Landlord’s contractors or consultants to review
plans and specifications prepared by Tenant, and the cost of
updating the existing as-built plans of the Building to reflect the
Alterations, not to exceed One Thousand and No/l00ths Dollars
($1,000.00) in total per Alteration. Tenant shall indemnify, defend
and hold the Landlord, the Building and the Premises free and
harmless from any liability, loss, damage, cost, attorneys’
fees and other expenses incurred on account of such construction,
or claims by any person performing work or furnishing materials or
supplies for Tenant or any persons claiming under
Tenant.
(b) Landlord agrees that, subject to
Tenant’s compliance with Section 10(a) above, Tenant
shall be entitled to install a satellite/microwave dish upon the
roof of the Building in a location reasonably acceptable to
Landlord and Tenant. Tenant acknowledges that view aesthetics of
the Building shall be considered in the placement of such dish.
Tenant shall be responsible for the maintenance and repair of such
dish and shall remove, at Tenant’s cost, such dish from the
roof of the Building upon the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease and shall repair any damage caused thereby and reseal
any roof penetrations.
11. REPAIRS AND
MAINTENANCE:
(a) By taking possession of the
Premises, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the Premises as
being in good and sanitary order, condition and repair, excepting
the Punch List Items, any defects (or noncompliance with laws) in
the Premises noted by Tenant in writing to the Landlord during the
Warranty Period and latent defects in the construction done by
Landlord, its agents, employees, contractors, and subcontractors.
Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, maintain the
Premises, in good, clean and first-class condition and repair.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall be
solely responsible for maintaining and repairing all fixtures,
non-building standard electrical lighting, ceilings and floor
coverings, windows, doors, plate glass, skylights, and interior
walls within the Premises using the same quality of materials as
used in the original construction. In addition, Tenant shall be
responsible for all repairs made necessary by Tenant or
Tenant’s invitees.
eHealth Lease 06/04/04 – Page 8
Landlord acknowledges that Tenant shall have no
obligation to repair or maintain any areas of the Project outside
of the Premises, unless such repair or maintenance is required due
to acts of Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors and
subcontractors. Excepting maintenance, repairs or replacements
required due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord,
its agents, employees, contractors and subcontractors, Tenant
acknowledges that Landlord shall have no obligation to maintain,
repair or replace any telecommunications or computer cabling or
wiring which is located in the Premises or which exclusively serves
the Premises (collectively, “Cabling” ), except
in the event that such would be required due to Landlord’s
negligent acts or omissions. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s
expense, contract with Pacific Bell or another reputable contractor
to maintain the Cabling. Landlord shall have no obligation to
alter, remodel, improve, repair, decorate or paint the Premises
except as specifically set forth in this Lease. Under no
circumstances shall Tenant make any repairs to the Building or to
the mechanical, electrical or heating, ventilating or air
conditioning systems of the Premises or the Building, unless such
repairs are previously approved in writing by Landlord. Tenant
waives the provisions of 1931(1), 1941 and 1942 of the California
Civil Code, and any similar or successor law regarding
Tenant’s right to make repairs and deduct expenses of such
repairs from the Rent due under this Lease.
(b) Landlord shall operate the
Building to a standard or quality consistent with that of other
first-class projects in the immediate geographical area and shall
(i) provide janitorial service to the Premises on a five
(5) day a week basis (excepting holidays described in the
Basic Lease Information), consistent with the janitorial
specification attached hereto as Exhibit E ,
(ii) provide nonexclusive, non-attended automatic passenger
elevator service at all times, (iii) replace Building standard
lamps, starters and ballasts (all nonstandard lighting within the
Premises shall be the responsibility of Tenant).
(c) Landlord shall be responsible
for maintaining and repairing all structural portions and latent
defects of the Building (to the extent constructed by Landlord, its
agents, employees, contractors and/or subcontractors), and shall
maintain the roof, sidewalls, and foundations of the Building in
good, clean and safe condition and repair. Landlord shall be
entitled to approve, in its sole discretion, the sealing of any
roof penetrations caused by Tenant Improvements. Landlord shall
also maintain all landscaping, driveways, parking lots, fences,
signs, sidewalks and the Project Common Areas. Landlord shall be
responsible for maintenance and repair of all plumbing, heating,
electrical, air conditioning and ventilation systems. Except as
otherwise provided in this Lease, Landlord shall have no liability
to Tenant, nor shall Tenant’s obligations under this Lease be
reduced or abated in any manner whatsoever by reason of any
inconvenience, annoyance, interruption or injury to business
arising from Landlord making any reasonable repairs or changes
which Landlord is required or permitted by this Lease or by any
other tenants’ lease or required by law to make in or to any
portion of the Building or the Premises. Landlord shall use
reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with Tenant’s
business at the Premises. If Tenant fails to maintain the Premises
as required in Section 11(a), Landlord may give Tenant thirty
(30) days’ written notice to do such acts as are
reasonably required to so maintain the Premises. If Tenant fails to
promptly commence such work within such time period and diligently
prosecute it to completion, then Landlord shall have the right to
do such acts and expend such funds at the expense of Tenant as are
reasonably required to perform such work. Any amount so expended by
Landlord shall be paid by Tenant promptly after demand with
interest at the Prime Rate plus two percent (2%) per annum,
from the date of such work, but not to exceed the maximum amount
then allowed by law. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for
any damage, inconvenience, or interference with the use of the
Premises by Tenant as the result of performing any such work. For
the purpose of this Lease, the “Prime Rate”
shall mean the rate, or base rate, reported in the Money Rates
column or section of The Wall Street Journal as being the base rate
on corporate loans at large U.S. money center commercial banks
(whether or not such rate has actually been charged by any such
bank) on the first date on which The Wall Street Journal is
published in the month preceding the month in which the subject
costs are incurred.
(d) If Landlord fails to provide
repairs or maintenance as required under this Lease, and such
failure interferes with Tenant’s use of the Premises, and
Tenant has notified Landlord of the necessity of such repairs or
maintenance in writing, then Tenant may perform such repairs or
maintenance at Landlord’s cost by taking whatever action is
reasonably necessary to do so, provided:
(1) Tenant gives Landlord (and any
mortgagee whose address has been provided to Tenant) notice of
Tenant’s intent to take such action at least ten
(10) business days prior to taking any such action. Landlord
further fails or refuses to commence repairs within three
(3) business days after a second written notice to Landlord
and such mortgagee (which notice cannot be effective until the
lapse of the aforementioned ten (10) business day period) (if
the nature of the required repair is such that Landlord’s
failure to act is reasonably likely to result in injury to
Tenant’s employees or visitors, or damage to Tenant’s
personal property, the aforementioned notice period shall be one
(1) business day, and there shall be no requirement that
Tenant notify Landlord’s mortgagee);
(2) If such repairs or maintenance
will affect the Building’s electrical or mechanical systems,
or the structural integrity of the Building. Tenant shall use only
those contractors used by Landlord in the Building that work on the
Building’s systems, equipment or structure (unless such
contractors are unwilling or unable to perform such work, or the
urgent nature of the required repair makes using those contractors
impractical, in which events Tenant may utilize the services of any
other qualified contractor approved by Landlord, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed).
If Landlord does not deliver a
detailed written reasonable objection to Tenant within thirty
(30) days after receipt of any invoice from Tenant of the
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in so repairing or
maintaining (such invoice to contain a reasonably particularized
breakdown of the costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in
connection therewith) then Tenant shall be entitled to deduct from
Rent next due the amount set forth in such invoice (to the extent
not previously paid by Landlord).
eHealth Lease 06/04/04 – Page 9
12. WASTE
Tenant shall not use the Premises in
any manner that will constitute waste, nuisance, or unreasonable
annoyance (which includes excessive noise and/or vibration) to
owners or occupants of adjacent properties or to other tenants of
the Building.
13. LIENS
Tenant shall keep the Premises and
the Project is free from any liens arising out of any work
performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred by Tenant.
For any work in excess of One Hundred Thousand and No/l00ths
Dollars ($100,000.00), Landlord may require, at its sole option,
that Tenant shall provide to Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost
and expense, labor and materials or a completion bond in an amount
equal to one and one-half (1 1 / 2
) times any and all
estimated cost of any improvements, additions, or alterations to
the Premises to be made by Tenant, to insure Landlord against any
liability for mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens and to
insure completion of work. Landlord may, at its election, and upon
ten (10) days’ notice to Tenant, remove any liens, in
which case Tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost of removing the
lien, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. Landlord shall
have the right at all times to post on the Premises any notices
permitted or required by law for the protection of Landlord, the
Premises, the Building or the Project from mechanics’ and
materialmen’s liens. To the extent a lien arises out of any
work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred by
Tenant, Tenant shall have thirty (30) days to remove such
lien, or provide a bond to Landlord in an amount sufficient to
satisfy the lien.
14. UTILITIES AND
SERVICES
(a) Landlord agrees to furnish to
the Premises during the Business Hours, subject to the conditions
and in accordance with the standards set forth in this Lease,
adequate quantities of electric current for normal lighting and
fractional horsepower office machines, water for lavatory and
drinking purposes (hot and cold), heat and air conditioning
required in the comfortable use and occupation of the Premises, and
elevator service by non-attended automatic elevators. Tenant
acknowledges and agrees that Landlord may impose a reasonable
charge for the use of any additional or unusual janitorial services
required by Tenant’s carelessness or the nature of
Tenant’s business. Landlord shall not be obligated to
service, maintain, repair or replace any system or improvement in
the Premises that has not been installed by Landlord at
Landlord’s expense, or which is a specialized improvement
requiring additional or extraordinary maintenance or repair (by way
of example only, if the standard premises in the Building contain
fluorescent light fixtures, Landlord’s obligation shall be
limited to the replacement of fluorescent light tubes, irrespective
of any incandescent fixtures that may have been installed in the
Premises at Tenant’s expense). Landlord shall not be liable
for, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement or reduction
of rent by reason of Landlord’s failure to furnish any of the
foregoing when such failure is caused by accident, breakage,
repairs, strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances or labor
disputes of any character or for any other causes; provided,
however, Landlord shall use its reasonable efforts to cause such
services to be restored as soon as possible. Tenant hereby waives
the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1932(1) or any
other applicable existing or future law, ordinance or governmental
regulation permitting the termination of this Lease due to the
interruption or failure of any services to be provided under this
Lease.
(b) If the temperature otherwise
maintained in any portion of the Premises by the HVAC systems of
the Building is affected by reason of any lights, machines or
equipment used by Tenant in the Premises utilized in excess of the
utilities provided to the Premises, or by the occupancy of the
Premises by more persons than are contemplated by the design
criteria of the HVAC systems, then Landlord shall have the right to
install machines or equipment that Landlord reasonably deems
necessary to restore temperature balance, including modifications
to the standard air-conditioning equipment and electrical systems
serving the Premises. The cost of any such equipment and
modifications, including the cost of installation and any
additional cost of operation and maintenance of the same, shall be
paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand.
(c) Tenant acknowledges and agrees
that Tenant’s use of the Premises during Non-Business Hours
imposes additional burden on the Project’s janitorial
services, fluorescent light tubes, HVAC and electrical services,
and the Project Common Areas. Accordingly, non-Business Hours use
of services will be made available to Tenant through an access or
override switch accessible to Tenant from the Premises and will be
billed as an after hours rent assessment. After hours use will be
metered and such costs will be payable by Tenant to Landlord upon
demand. Such costs are estimated to be $20.00 per hour per
unit and subject to change due to increases in electrical and
maintenance costs. Tenant shall be entitled to access to the
Premises, Building and Project Common Areas, twenty-four
(24) hours a day, three hundred sixty five (365) days a
calendar year.
(d) Except as otherwise provided in
the Tenant Improvement Agreement, Tenant shall not, without the
prior consent of Landlord, connect to the utility systems of the
Building any apparatus, machinery or other equipment except typical
office machines, devices such as electric typewriters, word
processors, mini and micro-computers and office-size photocopiers,
and microwave ovens and coffee machines. Nor shall Tenant, without
the prior written consent of Landlord, connect to any electrical
circuit in the Premises any apparatus or equipment with power
requirements that exceed the designed electrical capacity of the
Premises as described in the Work Letter. Tenant shall pay the cost
of all utilities and services supplied to Tenant in connection with
Tenant’s use of additional office equipment approved by
Landlord hereunder. Except as provided in the Tenant Working
Drawings, Tenant shall not, without the prior consent of Landlord,
connect to any dedicated electrical circuit in the Premises
electrical apparatus or equipment of any type having in the
aggregate electrical power requirements in excess of one and
one-half (1.5) amps per outlet. Notwithstanding
Landlord’s consent to such excess loading of circuits, Tenant
shall pay the cost of any additional or above-standard capacity
electrical circuits necessitated by such excess loading circuits
and the installation thereof.
(e) All sums payable hereunder by
Tenant for additional services or for excess utility usage shall be
payable within thirty (30) days after written request from
Landlord, including reasonable supporting documentation,
eHealth Lease 06/04/04 – Page
10
except that Landlord may require Tenant to pay
monthly for the estimated cost of Tenant’s excess utility
usage if such usage occurs on a regular basis, and such estimated
amounts shall be payable in advance on the first day of each
month.
15. ASSIGNMENT AND
SUBLETTING
(a) Tenant shall not, without the
prior written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed as provided in this Section 15:
(a) assign, mortgage, pledge, encumber or otherwise transfer
this Lease, the term or estate hereby granted, or any interest
hereunder; (b) permit the Premises or any part thereof to be
utilized by anyone other than Tenant (whether as concessionaire,
franchisee, licensee, permittee or otherwise); or (c) except
as hereinafter provided, sublet or offer or advertise for
subletting the Premises or any part thereof. Any assignment,
mortgage, pledge, encumbrance, transfer or sublease without
Landlord’s consent shall be voidable and, at Landlord’s
election, shall constitute a default.
Notwithstanding the foregoing and
Subsections (b) and (c) below, Tenant may assign this
Lease or sublet the Premises or a portion thereof, without
Landlord’s consent, but with prior written notice, to any
corporation, partnership, individual or other entity which
controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant;
or to any corporation, partnership, individual or other entity,
resulting from the merger or consolidation with Tenant; or to any
person or entity which acquires all of the assets of Tenant’s
business going concern, provided that (i) the assignee or
subtenant assumes, in full, the obligations of Tenant under this
Lease, (ii) Tenant remains fully liable under this Lease,
(iii) the use of the Lease by such transferee conforms with
the requirements of this Lease, and (iv) if Tenant is no
longer a viable operating business, the proposed transferee shall
have a net worth which is comparable to that of Tenant as of the
Lease Date. Provided that Tenant is a corporation, and (i) the
stock of Tenant is traded on a national exchange, the transfer of
stock in Tenant shall not be considered an assignment, sublease or
transfer under the Lease, or (ii) the stock of Tenant is not
traded on a national exchange, the collective transfer of thirty
percent (30.00%) or less of such stock shall not be considered
an assignment, sublease or transfer under this Lease.
(b) If at any time or from time to
time during the Term of this Lease, Tenant desires to assign this
Lease with respect to, or to sublet, all or any part of the
Premises, then at least thirty (30) days prior to the date
when Tenant desires the assignment or subletting to be effective
(the “Transfer Date” ), Tenant shall give
Landlord a notice (the “ Transfer Notice ”)
which shall set forth the name, address and business of the
proposed assignee or subtenant, information (including financial
statements and references) concerning the character of the proposed
assignee or subtenant, in the case of a proposed sublease, a
detailed description of the space proposed to be sublet, which must
be a single, self-contained unit (the “Space” ),
any rights of the proposed assignee or subtenant to use
Tenant’s improvements and the like, the Transfer Date, and
the fixed rent and/or other consideration and all other material
terms and conditions of the proposed assignment or subletting, all
in such detail as Landlord may reasonably require, if Landlord
promptly requests additional detail, the Transfer Notice shall not
be deemed to have been received until Landlord receives such
additional detail. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon receipt of
such proposal, among Landlord’s other rights, Landlord may
elect to terminate the Lease as to the portion of the Premises
proposed to be sublet or assigned and/or to enter into a direct
lease with the proposed sublessee or assignee as to the portion of
the Premises proposed to be sublet or assigned if such portion is
greater than fifty percent (50%) of the square footage of the
Premises and the sublease is for a term greater than fifty percent
(50%) of the initial Term. If this Lease or any interest in
this Lease is sold, assigned or transferred by Tenant, or Tenant
subleases any part of the Premises, without Landlord’s
consent, Landlord may, cumulative of any other right or remedy
available to Landlord, elect to terminate this Lease (as it affects
the portion of the Premises sought to be sublet or assigned) as of
the effective date of the proposed transfer. Landlord’s
acceptance of any name for listing on the Building directory will
not be deemed, not will it substitute for, Landlord’s
consent, as required by this lease, to any sublease, assignment or
other occupancy of the Premises.
(c) Landlord shall be permitted to
consider any reasonable factor in determining whether or not to
withhold its consent to a proposed assignment or sublease and
Landlord shall make such determination within ten
(10) business days following Landlord’s receipt of the
Transfer Notice. The failure of Landlord to deliver written notice
of such determination within such time period shall be deemed
Landlord’s approval thereof. Without limiting the other
instances in which it may be reasonable for Landlord to withhold
its consent to an assignment or sublease, it shall be reasonable
for Landlord to withhold its consent if any of the following
conditions are not satisfied:
(1) The proposed use by the
transferee shall (i) comply with Tenant’s permitted use,
(ii) be consistent with the general character of businesses
carried on by tenants of the Building, (iii) not materially
increase the likelihood of damage or destruction, (iv) not
materially increase the density of occupancy of the Premises or
increase the amount of pedestrian and other traffic through the
Building, (v) not be likely to cause an increase in insurance
premiums for insurance policies applicable to the Building,
(vi) not require new tenant improvements incompatible with
then-existing Building systems and components, (vii) unless
paid by Tenant, not require Landlord to make material modifications
to the Building outside of the Premises (in order, for example, to
comply with laws such as the ADA), (viii) not materially
increase the electrical or HVAC usage in the Premises, and
(ix) not otherwise have or cause a material adverse impact on
the Premises, the Building, the Project, or Landlord’s
interest therein;
(2) The proposed transferee shall
not be a labor union, foreign or domestic government
entity.
(3) If Landlord has vacant space at
the Building suitable for such proposed transferee, the proposed
transferee shall not be an existing tenant or occupant of the
Building or a person or entity with whom Landlord is then dealing,
or with whom Landlord has had any dealings within the previous
three (3) months, with respect to the leasing of space in the
Building; and
eHealth Lease 06/04/04 – Page
11
(4) Any ground lessor or mortgagee
whose consent to such transfer is required fails to consent
thereto. Tenant shall have the burden of demonstrating that each of
the foregoing conditions has been satisfied.
d) Provided Landlord has consented
to such assignment or subletting, Tenant shall be entitled to enter
into such Assignment or Sublease with the third party identified in
the Transfer Notice subject to the following conditions:
(1) At the time of the transfer, no
event of default under this Lease shall have occurred and be
continuing;
(2) The assignment or sublease shall
be on the same terms substantially set forth in the Transfer Notice
given to Landlord;
(3) No assignment or sublease shall
be valid and no assignee or sublessee shall take possession until
an executed counterpart of the assignment or sublease has been
delivered to Landlord;
(4) No assignee or sublessee shall
have a right further to assign or sublet without Landlord’s
consent thereto in each instance, which consent in the case of a
future assignment should not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed;
(5) Any assignee shall have assumed
in writing the obligations of Tenant under this Lease;
(6) Any subtenant shall have agreed
in writing to comply with all applicable terms and conditions of
this Lease with respect to the Space;
(7) In the event Tenant sublets the
entire Premises or any part thereof, Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord fifty percent (50.00%) of any excess rent within
thirty (30) days of Tenant’s receipt thereof pursuant to
such subletting. As used herein, “ excess rent ”
shall mean any sums or economic consideration per square foot of
the Premises received by Tenant pursuant to such subletting in
excess of the amount of the rent per square foot of the Premises
payable by Tenant under this Lease applicable to the part or parts
of the Premises so sublet; provided, however, that no excess
payment shall be payable until Tenant shall have recovered
therefrom all of the costs incurred by Tenant for brokerage
commissions, tenant improvement work approved by Landlord,
reasonable rent concessions, reasonable attorneys fees, and
reasonable marketing fees, in conjunction with such sublease;
and
(8) In the event Tenant assigns this
Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord fifty percent
(50.00%) of any excess payment within thirty (30) days of
Tenant’s receipt thereof pursuant to such assignment. As used
herein, “ excess payment ” shall mean the amount
of payment received for such assignment of this Lease in excess of
the rent payable by Tenant under this Lease; provided, however,
that no excess payment shall be payable until Tenant shall have
recovered therefrom all of the costs incurred by Tenant for
brokerage commissions, tenant improvement work approved by
Landlord, rent concessions, reasonable attorneys fees, and
reasonable marketing fees, in conjunction with such
assignment.
e) No subletting or assignment shall
release Tenant of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease or
alter the liability of Tenant to pay the rent and to perform all
other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The
acceptance of rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be
deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof. Consent
to one assignment or subletting shall not be deemed consent to any
subsequent assignment or subletting. In the event of default by an
assignee or subtenant of Tenant or any successor of Tenant in the
performance of any of the terms hereof, Landlord may proceed
directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting
remedies against such assignee, subtenant or successor. Landlord
may consent to subsequent assignments of the Lease or sublettings
or amendments or modifications to the Lease with assignees of
Tenant, after notifying Tenant, or any successor of Tenant, and
after obtaining its or their consent thereto and any such actions
shall not relieve Tenant of liability under this Lease.
(f) If Tenant assigns the Lease or
sublets the Premises or requests the consent of Landlord to any
assignment or subletting or if Tenant requests the consent of
Landlord for any act that Tenant proposes to do, then Tenant shall,
upon demand, pay Landlord an administrative fee not to exceed Five
Hundred and No/l00ths Dollars ($500.00) in connection with such act
or request.
16. INDEMNITY
(a) Subject to the provisions of
Section 18(e) below and to the extent not funded and paid to
Landlord by any insurance maintained by Tenant, Tenant shall
indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord against and from any
and all claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees) to the extent arising from
Tenant’s use of the Premises for the conduct of its business
or from any activity, work or other thing done or permitted by the
Tenant in or about the Building, and shall further indemnify,
defend and hold harmless Landlord against and from any and all
claims to the extent arising from any breach or default in the
performance of any obligation on Tenant’s part to be
performed under the terms of this Lease, or from any act or
negligence of the Tenant, or any officer, agent, employee, guest or
invitee of Tenant, and from all and against all reasonable cost,
attorney’s fees, expenses and liabilities incurred in or
about any such claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon,
and, if any case, action or proceeding be brought against Landlord
by reason of any such claim, Tenant upon notice from Landlord shall
defend the same at Tenant’s expense by counsel selected by
Tenant and approved in writing by Landlord such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the preceding
sentence, such indemnification by Tenant and such assumption and
waiver of claims shall not include damage or injury to the extent
caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its
agents, employees or contractors.

the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents,
employees or contractors or (iv) any diminution or shutting
off of light, air or view by any structure which may be erected on
lands adjacent to the Building, whether within or outside of the
Property. Tenant agrees that in no case shall Landlord ever be
responsible or liable on any theory for any injury to
Tenant’s business, loss of profits, loss of income or any
other form of consequential damage. Tenant shall give prompt notice
to Landlord in the event of (a) the occurrence of a fire or
accident in the Premises or in the Building, or (b) the
discovery of any defect therein or in the fixtures or equipment
thereof.
17. DAMAGE TO PREMISES OR

breakage done by Tenant or the agents, servants, employees, and
visitors of Tenant shall be repaired as reasonably determined by
the Landlord at the expense of the Tenant.
18. TENANT’S
INSURANCE
(a) All insurance required to be
carried by Tenant hereunder shall be issued by responsible
insurance companies which are rated by Best Insurance Reports as
A-VII or better and acceptable to Landlord and Landlord’s
lender and licensed or authorized to do business in the State of
California. Each general liability policy shall include Landlord,
and at Landlord’s request any mortgagee of Landlord, as an
additional insured, as their respective interests may appear. Each
policy shall contain (i) a separation of insureds condition,
(ii) a provision that such policy and the coverage evidenced
thereby shall be primary and non-contributing with respect to any
policies carried by Landlord and that any coverage carried by
Landlord shall be excess insurance for Landlord’s interest
only, and (iii) a waiver by the insurer of any right of
subrogation against Landlord, its agents, employees and
representatives, which arises or might arise by reason of any
payment under such policy or by reason of any act or omission of
Landlord, its agents, employees or representatives. A copy of each
certificate of the insurer evidencing the existence and amount of
each insurance policy required hereunder shall be delivered to
Landlord before the date Tenant is given possession of the
Premises, and annually thereafter, within thirty (30) days
after any demand by Landlord therefore. No such policy shall be
cancelable, materially changed or reduced in coverage except after
thirty (30) days’ written notice to Landlord. In any
event deductible amounts under all general liability insurance
policies required to be carried by Tenant under this Lease shall
not exceed Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) per occurrence. Tenant
agrees that if Tenant does not take out and maintain such
insurance, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) procure said
insurance on Tenant’s behalf and charge the Tenant the
premiums, which shall be payable upon demand. Tenant shall have the
right to provide such insurance coverage pursuant to blanket
policies obtained by the Tenant, provided such blanket policies
expressly afford coverage to the Premises, Landlord,
Landlord’s mortgagee and Tenant as required by this
Lease.
(b) Beginning on the date Tenant is
given access to the Premises for any purpose and continuing until
expiration of the term of the Lease, Tenant shall procure, pay for
and maintain in effect policies of property insurance covering
(i) any alterations, additions or improvements as may be made
and funded by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of Section 10
hereof, and (ii) trade fixtures, merchandise and other
personal property from time to time, in, on or about the Premises,
in an amount not less than one hundred percent (100%) of their
actual replacement cost from time to time, providing protection
against all risks of physical loss or damage. The proceeds of such
insurance shall be used for the repair or replacement of the
property so insured. Upon termination of this Lease following a
casualty as set forth herein, the proceeds shall be paid to
Tenant.
(c) Beginning on the date Tenant is
given access to the Premises for any purpose and continuing until
expiration of the Term of the Lease, Tenant shall procure, pay for
and maintain in effect workers’ compensation and
employer’s liability insurance and commercial general
liability insurance which includes coverage for personal injury,
contractual liability and Tenant’s independent contractors.
The commercial general liability should be procured and maintained
with not less than Two Million and No/l00ths Dollars
($2,000,000.00) per occurrence combined single limit, and a Five
Million and No/l00ths Dollars ($5,000,000.00) aggregate limit, for
bodily injury, personal injury or property damage liability. If
such insurance covers more than one location, and general aggregate
limit shall apply on a per location basis.
(d) Intentionally
Deleted.
(e) Landlord and Tenant each hereby
waive all rights of recovery against the other and against the
officers, employees, agents and representatives of the other, on
account of loss by or damage to the waiving party of its property
or the property of others under its control, to the extent that
such loss or damage is insured against and payment is made under
any “all risk” insurance policy which either may have
in force at the time of the loss or damage. Tenant and Landlord
shall, upon obtaining the policies of insurance required under this
Lease, give notice to its insurance carrier or carriers that the
foregoing mutual waiver of subrogation as contained in this
Lease.

Landlord shall maintain the following policies of insurance with
insurers of recognized responsibility, licensed to do business in
the State of California, rated by Best Insurance
eHealth Lease 06/04/04 – Page
13
Reports as A-VII or better: (i) commercial
general liability of One Million and No/l00ths Dollars
($1,000,000.00) per occurrence combined single limit, and Two
Million and No/l00ths Dollars ($2,000,000.00) aggregate limit, for
bodily injury, personal injury and property damage liability,
(ii) workers’ compensation insurance, in accordance with
applicable law, and employer’s liability insurance and bodily
injury by accident of One Million and No/l00ths Dollars
($1,000,000.00) per accident, and bodily injury by disease One
Million and No/l00ths Dollars ($1,000,000.00) policy limit, and
(iii) property insurance, on “all risk” basis,
insuring the Building for the full replacement costs thereof.
Landlord shall be responsible for insuring the Tenant Improvements
funded and installed by Landlord pursuant to the provisions of the
Tenant Improvement Agreement.
19. AD VALOREM
TAXES
Tenant shall pay, or cause to be
paid, before delinquency, any and all taxes levied or assessed and
which become payable during the term hereof upon all Tenant’s
leasehold improvements, equipment, furniture, fixtures, and
personal property located in the Premises, except that which has
been paid for by Landlord and is the standard of the Building. In
the event any or all of the Tenant’s leasehold improvements,
equipment, furniture, fixtures, and personal property shall be
assessed and taxed with the Building, Tenant shall pay to Landlord
its share of such taxes within thirty (30) days after delivery
to Tenant by Landlord of a statement in writing setting forth the
amount of such taxes applicable to Tenant’s property with
supporting documentation.
20. WAIVER
No delay or omission in the exercise
of any right or remedy of Landlord or Tenant on any default by
Tenant or Landlord shall impair such a right or remedy or be
construed as a waiver. The subsequent acceptance of Rent by
Landlord after breach by Tenant of any covenant or term of this
Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, other than a
waiver of timely payment for the particular Rent involved, and
shall not prevent Landlord from maintaining an unlawful detainer or
other action based on such breach. No act or conduct of Landlord,
including without limitation the acceptance of the keys to the
Premises, shall constitute an acceptance of the surrender of the
Premises by Tenant before the expiration of the term. Prior to the
scheduled expiration of the term of the Lease, only a notice from
Landlord to Tenant shall constitute acceptance of the surrender of
the Premises and accomplish an early termination of the Lease.
Landlord’s consent to or approval of any act by Tenant
requiring Landlord’s consent or approval shall not be deemed
to waive or render unnecessary Landlord’s consent to or
approval of any subsequent act by Tenant. Any waiver by Landlord or
Tenant of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver
of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of
the Lease. The review, approval, or inspection by Landlord of any
item to be reviewed, approved, or inspected by Landlord under the
terms of this Lease shall not constitute the assumption of any
responsibility by Landlord for the accuracy or sufficiency of any
such item or the quality or suitability of such item for its
intended use.
21. ENTRY BY
LANDLORD
Landlord reserves, and shall at any
and all reasonable times, upon advance oral or written notice to
Tenant, have the right to enter the Premises to inspect the same,
to supply any service to be provided by Landlord to Tenant
hereunder, to show the Premises to prospective purchasers or
tenants (with regard to prospective tenants, such entrance shall
not occur earlier than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to
the expiration of the Term), to post notices of non-responsibility,
and to maintain and repair the Premises and any portion of the
Building that Landlord may deem necessary or desirable, without
abatement of Rent, and may for that purpose erect scaffolding and
other necessary structures, where reasonably required by the
character of the work to be performed, always providing that the
entrance to the Premises shall not be blocked thereby and further
providing that the business of the Tenant shall not be interfered
with unreasonably. For each of the aforesaid purposes, Landlord
shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all
of the doors in, upon and about the Premises, excluding
Tenant’s vaults, safes and files, and Landlord shall have the
right to use any and all means which Landlord may deem proper to
open said doors in the event of an emergency (as determined by
Landlord or its employees or representatives acting in good faith),
in order to obtain entry to the Premises without liability to
Landlord. Any entry to the Premises obtained by Landlord by any of
said means or otherwise shall not under any circumstances be
construed or be deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or
a detainer of the Premises, or an eviction of Tenant from the
Premises or any portion thereof.
22. CASUALTY
DAMAGE
(a) During the Term hereof, if the
Premises or any part thereof shall be damaged by fire or other
casualty, Tenant shall give prompt written notice thereof to
Landlord. In case the Building shall be so damaged by fire or other
casualty that substantial alteration or reconstruction of the
Building shall be required (whether or not the Premises shall have
been damaged by such fire or other casualty), (i) if such
damage cannot be repaired within ninety (90) days thereafter,
as reasonably determined by Landlord, (ii) if any mortgagee
under a mortgage or deed of trust covering the Building requires
that the insurance proceeds payable as a result of said fire or
other casualty be used to retire or reduce such mortgage debt, or
(iii) if such damage is not covered by insurance carried by
Landlord, Landlord may, at its option, terminate this Lease and the
term and estate hereby granted by notifying Tenant in writing of
such termination within thirty (30) days after the date of
such damage, in which event the Rent shall be abated as of the date
of such damage. If Landlord elects to repair the Premises and/or
the Building, Landlord shall within forty five (45) days after
the date of such damage commence to repair and restore the Building
and shall proceed with reasonable diligence to restore the Building
(except that Landlord shall not be responsible for delays outside
its control) to substantially the same condition in which it was
immediately prior to the happening of the casualty, except that
Landlord shall not be required to rebuild, repair or replace any
part of Tenant’s furniture and furnishings or fixtures and
equipment removable by Tenant under the provisions of this Lease,
but such work shall not exceed the scope of the work done by
Landlord in originally constructing the Building. Tenant shall not
be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord, and
Landlord shall not be liable, for any loss of the use of the whole
or any part of the Premises, the Building, Tenant’s personal
property, or any inconvenience or annoyance
eHealth Lease 06/04/04 – Page
14
occasioned by such loss of use, damage, repair,
reconstruction or restoration, except that, subject to the
provisions of the next sentence, Landlord shall allow Tenant a
diminution of Rent on a square footage basis during the time and to
the extent the Premises are unfit or unavailable for occupancy. If
the Premises or any other portion of the Building are damaged by
fire or other casualty resulting from the negligence of Tenant or
any of Tenant’s agents, employees, or invitees, Tenant shall
be liable to Landlord for the cost and expense of the repair and
restoration of the Building caused thereby to the extent such cost
and expense is not covered by insurance proceeds. Any insurance
which may be carried by Landlord or Tenant against loss or damage
to the Building or to the Premises shall be for the sole benefit of
the party carrying such insurance and under its sole control.
Tenant hereby specifically waives any and all rights it may have
under any law, statute, ordinance or regulation to terminate the
Lease by reason of casualty or damage to the Premises or Building,
and the parties hereto specifically agree that the Lease shall not
automatically terminate by law upon destruction of the Premises.
Except as otherwise provided in this Section 22, Tenant hereby
waives the provisions of Sections 1932(2), 1933(4), 1941 and 1942
of the California Civil Code.
(b) In the event that Landlord
elects to repair any damage to the Premises and/or Building (if
such damage prevents Tenant from using the Premises pursuant to
this Lease), Landlord shall deliver written notice to Tenant
indicating Landlord’s good faith estimate of the number of
days required to repair such damage within thirty (30) days
following the date of such damage. If Landlord’s estimate is
in excess of one hundred eighty (180) days following receipt
of such notice, Tenant shall have the right, by delivery of written
notice to Landlord within fifteen (15) days of receiving the
estimate notice from Landlord, to terminate this Lease, which
termination shall be effective upon delivery of such notice to
Tenant by Landlord. The failure of Tenant to provide such written
notice within such time period, shall be deemed a waiver of
Tenant’s right to terminate this Lease pursuant to the
preceding sentence.
23. CONDEMNATION
(a) If the whole of the Building or
Premises should be condemned, this Lease shall terminate as of the
date when physical possession of the Building or the Premises is
taken by the condemning authority. If less than substantially the
whole of the Building or the Premises is thus taken or sold, this
Lease shall be unaffected by such taking, provided that
(i) Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by
written notice to Landlord given within ninety (90) days after
the date of such taking if twenty percent (20%) or more of the
Premises is taken and the remaining area of the Premises is not
reasonably sufficient for Tenant to continue operation of its
business, and (ii) Landlord (whether or not the Premises are
affected thereby) may terminate this Lease by giving written notice
thereof to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the date of
such taking, in which event this Lease shall terminate as of the
date when physical possession of such portion of the Building or
Premises is taken by the condemning authority. If, upon any such
condemnation of less than substantially the whole of the Building
or the Premises, this Lease shall not be thus terminated, the Rent
payable hereunder shall be diminished by an amount representing
that part of the Rent as shall properly be allocable to the portion
of the Premises which was so condemned, and Landlord shall, at
Landlord’s sole expense, restore and reconstruct the
remainder of the Building and the Premises to substantially their
former condition to the extent that the same, in Landlord’s
reasonable judgment, may be feasible, but such work shall not
exceed the scope of the work done in originally constructing the
Building, nor shall Landlord in any event be required to spend for
such work an amount in excess of the amount received by Landlord as
compensation awarded upon a taking of any part or all of the
Building or the Premises. Subject to the rights of any mortgagee
under a mortgage or deed of trust covering the Building, Landlord
shall be entitled to and shall receive the total amount of any
award made with respect to condemnation of
