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.

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.

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.

 

eHealth Lease 06/04/04 – Page 12


(b) Neither Landlord nor any of its Affiliates shall be liable for and there shall be no abatement of rent for (i) any damage to Tenant’s property stored with Affiliates of Landlord, (ii) loss of or damage to any property by theft or any other wrongful or illegal act, or (iii) any injury or damage to persons or property resulting from fire, explosion, wind, earthquake, falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity, flood, water or rain which may leak from any part of the Building or the Project or from the pipes, appliances, appurtenances or plumbing works therein or from the roof, street or sub-surface or from any other place or resulting from dampness or any other cause whatsoever or from the acts or omissions of other tenants, occupants or other visitors to the Building or the Project or from any other cause whatsoever, except to the extent caused by 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 BUILDING

All injury to the Premises or the Building caused by moving the property of Tenant or its employees, agents, guests or invitees into, in or out of the Building and all 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

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.

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.

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.

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

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
