protest, and any amount so recovered shall belong to Tenant.

for by Landlord or Tenant and whether or not affixed to the real property so as
to become a part thereof, are assessed for real property tax purposes at a
valuation higher than the valuation at which standard office improvements in
other space in the Complex are assessed, then the real property taxes and
assessments levied against Landlord or the Complex by reason of such excess
assessed valuation shall be deemed to be taxes levied against personal property
of Tenant and shall be governed by the provisions of 12 A (i), above. If the
records of the County Assessor are available and sufficiently detailed to serve
as a basis for determining whether said tenant improvements are assessed at a
higher valuation than standard office improvements in other space in the
Complex, such records shall be binding on both the Landlord and the Tenant. If
the records of the County Assessor are not available or sufficiently detailed to
serve as a basis for making said determination, the actual cost of construction
shall be used.

party thereto or not, that Tenant has violated any such law, statute, ordinance
or governmental rule, regulation, requirement, direction or provision, shall be
conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant. This paragraph shall not
be interpreted as requiring Tenant to make structural changes or improvements,
except to the extent such changes or improvements are required as a result of
Tenant's use of the Premises. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply
with any and all requirements pertaining to said Premises, of any insurance
organization or company, necessary for the maintenance of reasonable fire and
public liability insurance covering the Premises.
18. LIENS Tenant shall keep the Premises free from any liens arising out of any
work performed, materials furnished or obligation incurred by Tenant. In the
event that Tenant shall not, within ten (10) days following the imposition of
such lien, cause the same to be released of record, Landlord shall have, in
addition to all other remedies provided herein and by law, the right, but no
obligation, to cause the same to be released by such means as it shall deem
proper, including payment of the claim giving rise to such lien. All sums paid
by Landlord for such purpose, and all expenses incurred by it in connection
therewith, shall be payable to Landlord by Tenant on demand with interest at the
prime rate of interest as quoted by the Bank of America.
19. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING Tenant shall not assign, transfer or hypothecate
the leasehold estate under this Lease, or any interest therein, and shall not
sublet the Premises, or any part thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant
thereto, or suffer any other person or entity to occupy or use the Premises, or
any portion thereof, without, in each case, the prior written consent of
Landlord which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. As a condition to
granting its consent to any subletting that requires Landlord's consent,
Landlord may require that Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, as additional rent,
fifty (50%) percent of all rents received by Tenant from its subtenants in
excess of the rent payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder after Tenant first
deducts its reasonable costs of subletting the Premises including the cost of
brokerage commissions, if any, and the cost of tenant improvements made to the
Premises at Tenant's expense, amortized over the term of this Lease. Tenant
shall, by sixty (60) days written notice, advise Landlord of its intent to
sublet the Premises or any portion thereof for any part of the term, and Tenant
shall deliver to Landlord copies of the proposed assignment or sublease
documents, financial statements of the proposed assignee or subtenant, and such
other related documents as Landlord reasonably requests. Upon receipt of said
notice as to any subletting requiring Landlord's consent, Landlord may, in its
sole discretion, elect to terminate this Lease as to the portion of the Premises
described in Tenant's notice on the date specified in Tenant's notice, for the
commencement of the term of the sublease, except for any sublease of less than
fifty (50%) percent of the Premises (unless said sublease results in a
cumulative subleasing of more than fifty (50%) percent of the Premises), any
sublease for a term of two (2) years or less (except for a sublease which
includes in its term any part of the last year of the Lease), or any sublease to
Risk Management Solutions, Inc. which commences effective January 1, 2001. If,
however, this Lease shall terminate pursuant to the foregoing with respect to
less than all the Premises, the rent, as defined and reserved hereinabove shall
be adjusted on a pro-rata basis to the number of square feet retained by Tenant,
and this Lease as so amended shall continue in full force and effect. In the
event Tenant is allowed to assign, transfer or sublet the whole or any part of
the Premises, with the prior written consent of Landlord, no assignee,
transferee or subtenant shall assign or transfer this Lease, either in whole or
in part, or sublet the whole or any part of the premises, without also having
obtained the prior written consent of Landlord. A consent of Landlord to one
assignment, transfer, hypothecation, subletting, occupation or use by any other
person shall not release Tenant from any of Tenant's obligations hereunder or be
deemed to be a consent to any subsequent similar or dissimilar assignment,
transfer, hypothecation, subletting, occupation or use by any other person. Any
such assignment, transfer, hypothecation, subletting, occupation or use without
such consent shall be void and shall constitute a breach of this Lease by Tenant
and shall, at the option of Landlord exercised by written notice to Tenant,
terminate this Lease. The leasehold estate under this Lease shall not, nor shall
any interest therein, be assignable for any purpose by operation of law without
the written consent of Landlord. As a condition to its consent, Landlord may
require Tenant to pay all reasonable expenses (not to exceed two thousand
($2,000.00) dollars) in connection with the assignment, and Landlord may require
Tenant's assignee or transferee (or other assignees or transferees) to assume in
writing all of the obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, with notice to Landlord and delivery of relevant
documents, but without the necessity of Landlord's consent, Tenant shall have
the right to assign this Lease in connection with any merger, consolidation or
sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant; and to assign this
Lease or sublet the Premises or any part thereof to any corporation or other
entity which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant.
8
For the purposes hereof, "control" shall mean the power to direct the management
of an entity through voting rights, ownership or contractual obligations.
20. SUBORDINATION AND MORTGAGES In the event Landlord's title or leasehold
interest is now or hereafter encumbered by a deed of trust, upon the interest of
Landlord in the land and buildings in which the demised Premises are located, to
secure a loan from a lender (hereinafter referred to as "Lender") to Landlord,
Tenant shall, at the request of Landlord or Lender, execute in writing an
agreement subordinating its rights under this Lease to the lien of such deed of
trust, or, if so requested, agreeing that the lien of Lender's deed of trust
shall be or remain subject and subordinate to the rights of Tenant under this
Lease. In such event, Tenant shall be provided with a nondisturbance agreement
in form reasonably satisfactory to Tenant executed by Lender. Tenant hereby
irrevocably appoints Landlord the attorney in fact of Tenant to execute, deliver
and record any such instrument or instruments for and in the name and on behalf
of Tenant. Notwithstanding any such subordination, Tenant's possession under
this Lease shall not be disturbed if Tenant is not then in default and so long
as Tenant shall pay all rent and observe and perform all of the provisions set
forth in this Lease.
21. ENTRY BY LANDLORD Landlord reserves, and shall at all reasonable times have
the right to enter the Premises upon reasonable prior notice to Tenant to
inspect them; to perform any services to be provided by Landlord hereunder; to
submit the Premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagers or tenants; to post
notices of nonresponsibility; and to alter, improve or repair the Premises, all
without abatement of rent; and may erect scaffolding and other necessary
structures in or through the Premises where reasonably required by the character
of the work to be performed; provided, however, that the business of Tenant
shall be interfered with to the least extent that is reasonably practical. For
each of the foregoing purposes, Landlord shall at all times have and retain a
key with which to unlock all of the doors in an emergency in order to obtain
entry to the Premises, and any entry to the Premises obtained by Landlord by any
of said means, or otherwise, shall not under any circumstances be construed or
deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into or a detainer of the Premises or
an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant from the Premises or any portion
thereof. Landlord shall also have the right at any time to change the
arrangement or location of entrances or passageways, doors and doorways, and
corridors, elevators, stairs, toilets or other public parts of the Premises and
to change the name, number or designation by which the Premises is commonly
known, and none of the foregoing shall be deemed and actual or constructive
eviction of Tenant, or shall entitle Tenant to any reduction of rent hereunder.
22. BANKRUPTCY AND DEFAULT The commencement of a bankruptcy action or
liquidation action or reorganization action or insolvency action or an
assignment of or by Tenant for the benefit of creditors, or any similar action
undertaken by Tenant, or the insolvency of Tenant, shall, at Landlord's option,
constitute a breach of this Lease by Tenant. If the trustee or receiver
appointed to serve during a bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, insolvency
or similar action elects to reject Tenant's unexpired Lease, the trustee or
receiver shall notify Landlord in writing of its election within thirty (30)
days after an order for relief in a liquidation action or within thirty (30)
days after the commencement of any action.
Within thirty (30) days after court approval of the assumption of this Lease,
the trustee or receiver shall cure (or provide adequate assurance to the
reasonable satisfaction of Landlord that the trustee or receiver shall cure) any
and all previous defaults under the unexpired Lease and shall compensate
Landlord for all actual pecuniary loss and shall provide adequate assurance of
future performance under said Lease to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord.
Adequate assurance of future performance, as used herein, includes, but shall
not be limited to: (i) assurance of source and payment of rent, and other
consideration due under this Lease; (ii) assurance that the assumption or
assignment of this Lease will not breach substantially any provision, such as
radius, location, use, or exclusivity provision, in any agreement relating to
the above described Premises.
Nothing contained in this section shall affect the existing right of Landlord
to refuse to accept an assignment upon commencement of or in connection with a
bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization or insolvency action or an assignment of
Tenant for the benefit of creditors or other similar act. Nothing contained in
this Lease shall be construed as giving or granting or creating an equity in the
demised Premises to Tenant. In no event shall the leasehold estate under this
Lease, or any interest therein, be assigned by voluntary or involuntary
bankruptcy proceeding without the prior written consent of Landlord. In no event
shall this Lease or any rights or privileges hereunder be an asset of Tenant
under any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization proceedings.
The failure to perform or honor any covenant, condition or representation
made under this Lease shall constitute a default hereunder by Tenant upon
expiration of the appropriate grace period hereinafter provided. Tenant shall
have a period of five (5) days from the date of written notice from Landlord
within which to cure any default in the payment of rental or adjustments
thereto. Tenant shall have a period of ten (10) days from the date of written
notice from Landlord within which to cure any other default under this Lease.
Upon an uncured default of this Lease by Tenant, Landlord shall have the
following rights and remedies in addition to any other rights or remedies
available to Landlord at law or in equity:
(a) The rights and remedies provided for by California Civil Code
Section 1951.2, including but not limited to, recovery of the worth at the time
of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term
after the time of award exceeds the amount of rental loss for the same period
that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided, as computed pursuant to
subsection (b) of said Section 1951.2. Any proof by Tenant under subparagraphs
(2) and (3) of Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code of the amount of
rental loss
9
that could be reasonably avoided shall be made in the following manner: Landlord
and Tenant shall each select a licensed real estate broker in the business of
renting property of the same type and use as the Premises and in the same
geographic vicinity. Such two real estate brokers shall select a third licensed
real estate broker, and the three licensed real estate brokers so selected shall
determine the amount of the rental loss that could be reasonably avoided from
the balance of the term of this Lease after the time of award. The decision of
the majority of said licensed real estate brokers shall be final and binding
upon the parties hereto.
(b) The rights and remedies provided by California Civil Code which
allows Landlord to continue the Lease in effect and to enforce all of its rights
and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover rent as it becomes
due, for so long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant's right to possession;
acts of maintenance or preservation, efforts to relet the Premises, or the
appointment of a receiver upon Landlord's initiative to protect its interest
under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant's right to
possession.
(c) The right to terminate this Lease by giving notice to Tenant in
accordance with applicable law.
(d) The right and power, as attorney-in-fact for Tenant, to enter the
Premises and remove therefrom all persons and property, to store such property
in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant,
and to sell such property and apply such proceeds therefrom pursuant to
applicable California law. Landlord, as attorney-in-fact for Tenant, may from
time to time sublet the Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms
(which may extend beyond the term of this Lease) and at such rent and such other
terms as Landlord in its sole discretion may be deem advisable, with the right
to make alterations and repairs to the Premises. Upon each subletting, (i)
Tenant shall be immediately liable to pay Landlord, in addition to indebtedness
other than rent due hereunder, the cost of such subletting, including, but not
limited to, reasonable attorney's fees, and any real estate commissions actually
paid, and the cost of such alterations and repairs incurred by Landlord and the
amount, if any, by which the rent hereunder for the period of such subletting
(to the extent such period does not exceed the term hereof) exceeds the amount
to be paid as rent for the Premises for such period or (ii) at the option of
Landlord, rents received from such subletting shall be applied first to payment
of indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second,
to the payment of any costs of such subletting and of such alterations and
repairs; third to payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if
any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as the same
becomes due hereunder. If Tenant has been credited with any rent to be received
by such subletting under option (i) and such rent shall not be promptly paid to
Landlord by the subtenant(s), or if such rentals received from such subletting
under option (ii) during any month be less than that to be paid during that
month by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to Landlord.
Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. For all purposes set forth
in this subparagraph (d), Landlord is hereby irrevocably appointed
attorney-in-fact for Tenant, with power of substitution. No taking possession of
the Premises by Landlord, as attorney-in-fact for Tenant, shall be construed as
an election on its part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such
intention be given to Tenant. Notwithstanding any such subletting without
termination, Landlord may at any time hereafter elect to terminate this Lease
for such previous breach.
(e) The right to have a receiver appointed for Tenant upon application
by Landlord, to take possession of the Premises and to apply any rental
collected from the Premises and to exercise all other rights and remedies
granted to Landlord as attorney-in-fact for Tenant pursuant to subparagraph (d)
above.
23. ABANDONMENT Tenant shall not vacate or abandon the Premises at any time
during the term of this Lease; and if Tenant shall abandon, vacate, or surrender
said Premises, or be dispossessed by the process of law, or otherwise, any
personal property belonging to Tenant and left on the Premises shall be deemed
to be abandoned, at the option of Landlord, except such property as may be
mortgaged to Landlord.
24. DESTRUCTION In the event the Premises are destroyed in whole or in part from
any cause, except for routine maintenance and repairs and incidental damage and
destruction caused from vandalism and accidents for which Tenant is responsible
for under Xxxxxxxxx 00, Xxxxxxxx may, at its option:
(a) Rebuild or restore the Premises to their condition prior to the
damage or destruction, or
(b) Terminate this Lease.
If Landlord does not give Tenant notice in writing within thirty (30)
days from the destruction of the Premises of its election to either rebuild and
restore them, or to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall be deemed to have
elected to rebuild or restore them, in which event Landlord agrees, at its
expense, promptly to rebuild or restore the Premises to their condition prior to
the damage or destruction. Tenant shall be entitled to a reduction in rent while
such repair is being made in the proportion that the area of the Premises
rendered untenantable by such damage bears to the total area of the Premises. If
Landlord does not complete the rebuilding or restoration within one hundred
eighty (180) days following the date of destruction (such period of time to be
extended for delays caused by the fault or neglect of Tenant or because of Acts
of God, acts of public agencies, labor disputes, strikes, fires, freight
embargoes, rainy or stormy weather, inability to obtain materials, supplies or
fuels, acts of contractors or subcontractors, or delay of the contractors or
subcontractors due to such causes or other contingencies beyond the control of
Landlord), then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving
fifteen (15) days prior written notice to Landlord. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, Landlord's obligation to rebuild or restore shall be
limited to the building and interior improvements constructed by Landlord as
they existed as of the commencement date of the Lease and shall not include
restoration of Tenant's trade fixtures, equipment, merchandise, or any
10
improvements, alterations or additions made by Tenant to the Premises, which
Tenant shall forthwith replace or fully repair at Tenant's sole cost and expense
provided this Lease is not cancelled according to the provisions above.
Unless this Lease is terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. Tenant hereby expressly waives
the provisions of Section 1932, Subdivision 2, and Section 1933, Subdivision 4
of the California Civil Code.
In the event that the building is damaged or destroyed to the extent of
not less than 33 1/3% of the replacement cost thereof, Landlord may elect to
terminate this Lease, whether the Premises be injured or not. In the event the
destruction of the Premises is caused by Tenant, Tenant shall pay the deductible
portion of Landlord's insurance proceeds.
25. EMINENT DOMAIN If all or any part of the Premises shall be taken by any
public or quasi-public authority under the power of eminent domain or conveyance
in lieu thereof, this Lease shall terminate as to any portion of the Premises so
taken or conveyed on the date when title vests in the condemnor, and Landlord
shall be entitled to any and all payment, income, rent, award, or any interest
therein whatsoever which may be paid or made in connection with such taking or
conveyance, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or otherwise for the
value of any unexpired term of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing
paragraph, any compensation specifically awarded Tenant for loss of business,
Tenant's personal property, moving cost or loss of goodwill, shall be and remain
the property of Tenant.
If (i) any action or proceeding is commenced for such taking of the
Premises or any part thereof, or if Landlord is advised in writing by any entity
or body having the right or power of condemnation of its intention to condemn
the Premises or any portion thereof, or (ii) any of the forgoing events occur
with respect to the taking of any space in the Premises not leased hereby, or if
any such spaces so taken or conveyed in lieu of such taking and Landlord shall
decide to discontinue the use and operation of the Premises, or decide to
demolish, alter or rebuild the Premises, then in any of such events Landlord
shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice
thereof within sixty (60) days of the date of receipt of said written advice, or
commencement of said action or proceeding, or taking conveyance, which
termination shall take place as of the first to occur of the last day of the
calendar month next following the month in which such notice is given or the
date on which title to the Premises shall vest in the condemnor.
In the event of such a partial taking or conveyance of the Premises, if
the portion of the Premises taken or conveyed is so substantial that the Tenant
can no longer reasonably conduct its business, Tenant shall have the privilege
of terminating this Lease within sixty (60) days from the date of such taking or
conveyance, upon written notice to Landlord of its intention so to do, and upon
giving of such notice this Lease shall terminate on the last day of the calendar
month next following the month in which such notice is given, upon payment by
Tenant of the rent from the date of such taking or conveyance to the date of
termination.
If a portion of the Premises be taken by condemnation or conveyance in
lieu thereof and neither Landlord nor Tenant shall terminate this Lease as
provided herein, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as to the
part of the Premises not so taken or conveyed, and the rent herein shall be
apportioned as of the date of such taking or conveyance so that thereafter the
rent to be paid by Tenant shall be in the ratio that the area of the portion of
the Premises not so taken or conveyed bears to the total area of the Premises
prior to such taking.
26. SALE OR CONVEYANCE BY LANDLORD In the event of a sale or conveyance of the
Premises or any interest therein, by any owner of the reversion then
constituting Landlord, upon the written assumption of the obligations of the
Landlord arising under this Lease from and after the date of the sale or
conveyance, the transferor shall thereby be released from any further liability
upon any of the terms, covenants or conditions (express or implied) herein
contained in favor of Tenant, and in such event, insofar as such transfer is
concerned, Tenant agrees to look solely to the responsibility of the successor
in interest of such transferor in and to the Premises and this Lease. This Lease
shall not be affected by any such sale or conveyance, and Tenant agrees to
attorn to the successor in interest of such transferor as of the date of
transfer.
27. ATTORNMENT TO LENDER OR THIRD PARTY In the event the interest of Landlord in
the leased Premises (whether such interest of Landlord is a fee title interest
or a leasehold interest) is encumbered by deed of trust, and such interest is
acquired by the lender or any third party through judicial foreclosure or by
exercise of a power of sale at private trustee's foreclosure sale, Tenant hereby
agrees to attorn to the purchaser at any such foreclosure sale and to recognize
such purchaser as the Landlord under this Lease. In the event the lien of the
deed of trust securing the loan from a Lender to Landlord is prior and paramount
to the Lease, this Lease shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect for
the remainder of the unexpired term hereof, at the same rental herein reserved
and upon all the other terms, conditions and covenants herein contained.
28. HOLDING OVER Any holding over by Tenant after expiration or other
termination of the term of this Lease with the written consent of Landlord
delivered to Tenant shall not constitute a renewal or extension of the Lease or
give Tenant any rights in or to the leased Premises except as expressly provided
in this Lease. Any holding over after the expiration or other termination of the
term of this lease, with the consent of Landlord, shall be construed to be a
tenancy from month to month, on the same terms and conditions herein specified
insofar as applicable except that the monthly Basic Rent shall be increased to
an amount equal to one hundred fifty (150%) percent of the monthly Basic Rent
required during the last month of the Lease term.
11
29. CERTIFICATE OF ESTOPPEL Tenant shall at any time upon not less than ten (10)
days' prior written notice from Landlord execute, acknowledge and deliver to
Landlord a statement in writing (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and
in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such
modification and certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force
and effect) and the date to which the rent and other charges are paid in
advance, if any, and (ii) acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant's
knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder, or specifying
such defaults, if any, are claimed. Any such statement may be conclusively
relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Premises.
Tenant's failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be conclusive
upon Tenant that this Lease is in full force and effect, without modifications
except as may be represented by Landlord; that there are no uncured defaults in
Landlord's performance, and that no more than one month's rent has been paid in
advance.
30. CONSTRUCTION CHANGES It is understood that the description of the Premises
and the location of the ductwork, plumbing and other facilities therein are
subject to such minor changes as Landlord or Landlord's architect determines to
be desirable in the course of construction of the Premises, and no such changes,
or any changes in plans for any other portions of the Premises shall affect this
Lease or entitle Tenant to any reduction of rent hereunder or result in any
liability of Landlord to Tenant. Landlord does not guarantee the accuracy of any
drawings supplied to Tenant and verification of the accuracy of such drawings
rests with Tenant.
31. RIGHT OF LANDLORD TO PERFORM All terms, covenants and conditions of this
Lease to be performed or observed by Tenant shall be performed or observed by
Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense and without any reduction of rent. If
Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money, or other rent, required to be paid by
it hereunder or shall fail to perform any other term or covenant hereunder on
its part to be performed, and such failure shall continue for five (5) days
after written notice thereof by Landlord. Landlord, without waiving or releasing
Tenant from any obligation of Tenant hereunder, may, but shall not be obligated
to, make any such payment or perform any such other term or covenant on Tenant's
part to be performed. All sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary costs of
such performance by Landlord together with interest thereon at the rate of the
prime rate of interest per annum as quoted by the Bank of America from the date
of such payment of performance by Landlord, shall be paid (and Tenant covenants
to make such payment) to Landlord or demand by Landlord, and Landlord shall have
(in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord) the same rights and
remedies in the event of non payment by Tenant as in the case of failure by
Tenant in the payment of rent hereunder.
32. ATTORNEYS FEES
(A) In the event that Landlord should bring suit for the possession of
the Premises, for the recovery of any sum due under this Lease, or because of
the breach of any provision of this Lease, or for any other relief against
Tenant hereunder, then all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's
fees, incurred by the prevailing party therein shall be paid by the other party,
which obligation on the part of the other party shall be deemed to have accrued
on the date of the commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether
or not the action is prosecuted to judgement.
(B) Should Landlord be named as a defendant in any suit brought against
Tenant in connection with or arising out of Tenant's occupancy hereunder, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord its costs and expenses incurred in such suit, including a
reasonable attorney's fee.
33. WAIVER The waiver by either party of the other party's failure to perform or
observe any term, covenant or condition herein contained to be performed or
observed by such waiving party shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term,
covenant or condition or of any subsequent failure of the party failing to
perform or observe the same or any other such term, covenant or condition
therein contained, and no custom or practice which may develop between the
parties hereto during the term hereof shall be deemed a waiver of, or in any way
affect, the right of either party to insist upon performance and observance by
the other party in strict accordance with the terms hereof.
34. NOTICES All notices, demands, requests, advices or designations which may be
or are required to be given by either party to the other hereunder shall be in
writing. All notices, demands, requests, advices or designations by Landlord to
Tenant shall be sufficiently given, made or delivered if personally served on
Tenant by leaving the same at the Premises or if sent by United States certified
or registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed to Tenant at the Premises. All
notices, demands, requests, advices or designations by Tenant to Landlord shall
be sent by United States certified or registered mail, postage prepaid,
addressed to Landlord at its offices at 0000 Xxx Xxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx
00000.
Each notice, request, demand advice or designation referred to in this paragraph
shall be deemed to be given on the date of actual receipt by or on behalf of
Tenant, or refusal to accept. Any such notice, request, demand, advice or
designation may also be sent by a nationally recognized private courier (i.e.
Federal Express, DHL, UPS, etc.).
35. EXAMINATION OF LEASE Submission of this instrument for examination or
signature by Tenant does not constitute a reservation of or option for a lease,
and this instrument is not effective as a lease or otherwise until its execution
and delivery by both Landlord and Tenant. Landlord and Tenant mutually intend
that neither shall have any binding contractual obligations to the other with
12
respect to the matters referred to herein unless and until this instrument has
been fully executed by both parties.
36. DEFAULT BY LANDLORD Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord fails
to perform obligations required of Landlord within a reasonable time, but in no
event earlier than thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord
and to the holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises
whose name and address shall have heretofore been furnished to Tenant in
writing, specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform such obligations;
provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord's obligations is such than
more than thirty (30) days are required for performance, then Landlord shall not
be in default if Landlord commences performance within such thirty (30) day
period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion.
37. CORPORATE AUTHORITY Each individual executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant
represents and warrants that he is duly authorized to execute and deliver this
Lease on behalf of Tenant in accordance with the by-laws of Tenant. Tenant
represents that this Lease is binding upon Tenant in accordance with its terms.
38. (deleted)
39. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY In consideration of the benefits accruing hereunder,
Tenant and all successors and assigns covenant and agree that, in the event of
any actual or alleged failure, breach or default hereunder by Landlord:
(i) the sole and exclusive remedy shall be against Landlord's
interest in the Premises;
(ii) no partner of Landlord shall be sued or named as a party in any
suit or action (except as may be necessary to secure
jurisdiction of the partnership);
(iii) no service of process shall be made against any partner of
Landlord (except as may be necessary to secure jurisdiction of
the partnership);
(iv) no partner of Landlord shall be required to answer or otherwise
plead to any service of process;
(v) no judgement will be taken against any partner of Landlord;
(vi) any judgement taken against any partner of Landlord may be
vacated and set aside at any time without hearing;
(vii) no writ of execution will ever be levied against the assets of
any partner of Landlord;
(viii) these covenants and agreements are enforceable both by Landlord
and also by any partner of Landlord.
(ix) The term, "Landlord", as used in this section, shall mean only
the owner or owners from time to time of the fee title or the
tenant's interest under a ground lease of the Premises described
in Exhibit "A", and in the event of any transfer of such title
or interest, Landlord herein named (and in case of any
subsequent transfers the then grantor) shall be relieved from
and after the date of such transfer of all liability as respects
Landlord's obligations thereafter to be performed, provided that
any funds in the hands of Landlord or the then grantor at the
time of such transfer, in which Tenant has an interest, shall be
delivered to the grantee. Similarly, the obligations contained
in this Lease to be performed by Landlord shall be binding on
Landlord's successors and assigns only during their respective
periods of ownership. Tenant agrees that each of the foregoing
covenants and agreements shall be applicable to any covenant or
agreement either expressly contained in this Lease or imposed by
statute or at common law.
40. BROKERS Tenant warrants that it had dealing with only of the following real
estate brokers or agents in connection with the negotiation of this Lease:
Cornish and Xxxxx Commercial (Tenant) agrees to pay all commissions due C&C and
that it knows of no other real estate broker or agent who is entitled to a
commission in connection with this Lease.
41. SIGNS No sign, placard, picture, advertisement, name or notice shall be
inscribed, displayed, printed or affixed on or to any part of the outside of the
Premises or any exterior windows of the Premises without the written consent of
Landlord first had and obtained and Landlord shall have the right to remove any
such sign, placard, picture, advertisement, name or notice without notice to and
at the expense of Tenant. If Tenant is allowed to print or affix or in any way
place a sign in, on, or about the Premises, then upon expiration or other sooner
termination of this Lease, Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense shall both
remove such sign and repair all damage in such manner as to restore all aspects
of the appearance of the Premises to the condition prior to the placement of

following: (i) That all documents provided by Tenant to Landlord are true and
correct copies of the original; and (ii) Tenant has not withheld any information

13
to pay the rent; and (iii) all information supplied by Tenant to Landlord is

43. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
A. As used herein, the term "Hazardous Material" shall mean any
substance or material which has been determined by any state, federal or local
governmental authority to be capable of posing a risk of injury to health,
safety or property including all of those materials and substances designated or
defined as "hazardous" or "toxic" by (i) the Environmental Protection Agency,
the California Water Quality Control Board, the Department of Labor, the
California Department of Industrial Relations, the Department of Transportation,
the Department of Agriculture, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the
Department of Health and Human Services, the Food and Drug Agency or any other
governmental agency now or hereafter authorized to regulate materials and
substances in the environment, or by (ii) the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, 42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq., as
amended; the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, 49 U.S.C. 1801, et seq., as
amended; the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. 6901, et seq., as
amended; the Hazardous Waste Control Law, California Health & Safety Code 25100
et seq., as amended; Sections 66680 through 66685 of Title 22 of the California
Administration Code, Division 4, Chapter 30, as amended; and in the regulations
adopted and publications promulgated pursuant to said laws.
B. Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Material to be
improperly or illegally used, stored, discharged, released or disposed of in,
from, under or about the Premises, or any other land or improvements in the
vicinity of the Premises. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Tenant, at its sole cost, shall comply with all laws relating to Hazardous
Materials. If the presence of Hazardous Materials on the Premises caused or
permitted by Tenant results in contamination of the Premises or any soil in or
about the Premises, Tenant, at its expense shall promptly take all actions
necessary to return the Premises to the condition existing prior to the
appearance of such Hazardous Material. The termination of this Lease shall not
terminate or reduce the liability or obligation of Tenant under this Section, or
as may be required by law, to clean up, monitor or remove any Hazardous
Materials from the Premises.
Tenant shall defend, hold harmless and indemnify Landlord and its agents
and employees with respect to all claims, damages and liabilities arising out of
or in connection with any Hazardous Material used, stored, discharged, released
or disposed of in, from, under or about the Premises, where said Hazardous
Material is or was attributable to the activities of Tenant, its agents or
contractors during the Lease term and whether or not Tenant had knowledge of
such Hazardous Material, including, without limitation, any cost of monitoring
or removal, any reduction in the fair market value or fair rental value of the
Premises and any loss, claim or demand by any third person or entirely relating
to bodily injury or damage to real or personal property.
Tenant shall not suffer any lien to be recorded against the Premises as
a consequence of a Hazardous Material, including any so called state, federal or
local "super fund" lien related to the "clean up" of a Hazardous Material in or
about the Premises, where said Hazardous Material is or was attributable to the
activities of Tenant.
C. In the event Hazardous Materials are discovered in or about the
Premises, and Landlord has substantial reason to believe that Tenant was
responsible for the presence of the Hazardous Material, then Landlord shall have
the right to appoint a consultant, at Tenant's expense, to conduct an
investigation to determine whether Hazardous Materials are located in or about
the Premises and to determine the corrective measures, if any, required to
remove such Hazardous Materials. Tenant, at its expense, shall comply with all
recommendations of the consultant, as required by law. To the extent it is
determined that Tenant was not responsible for the presence of the Hazardous
Materials, then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for any costs incurred by
Landlord and paid by Tenant under the terms of this paragraph 45.C.
Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of any inquiry, test,
investigation or enforcement proceeding by or against Tenant or the Premises
concerning a Hazardous Material. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord, as the owner
of the Property, at its election, shall have the sole right, at Tenant's
expense, to negotiate, defend, approve and appeal any action taken or order
issued with regard to a Hazardous Material by an applicable governmental
authority. Provided Tenant is not in default under the terms of this Lease,
Tenant shall likewise have the right to participate in any negotiations,
approvals or appeals of any actions taken or orders issued with regard to the
Hazardous Material and Landlord shall not have the right to bind Tenant in said
actions or orders.
D. It shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to
any proposed assignment or subletting if (i) the proposed assignee's or
subtenant's anticipated use of the Premises involves the storage, use or
disposal of Hazardous Material; (ii) if the proposed assignee or subtenant has
been required by any prior landlord, lender, or governmental authority to "clean
up" Hazardous Material"; (iii) if the proposed assignee or subtenant is subject
to investigation or enforcement order or proceeding by any governmental
authority in connection with the use, disposal or storage of a Hazardous
Material.
14
E. Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord, upon the expiration
or earlier termination of the Lease, free of Hazardous Materials which are or
were attributable to Tenant. If Tenant fails to so surrender the Premises,
Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all damages resulting
from Tenant's failure to surrender the Premises as required by this paragraph,
including, without limitation, any claims or damages in connection with the
condition of the Premises including, without limitation, damages occasioned by
the inability to relet the Premises or a reduction in the fair market and/or
rental value of the Premises by reason of the existence of any Hazardous
Materials, which are or were attributable to the activities of Tenant, in or
around the Premises.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Lease, if any
action is required to be taken by a governmental authority to clean-up, monitor
or remove any Hazardous Materials, which are or were attributable to the
activities of Tenant, from the Premises and such action is not completed prior
to the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, then at Landlord's
election (i) this Lease shall be deemed renewed for a term commencing on the
expiration date of this Lease and ending on the date the clean-up, monitoring or
removal procedure is completed (provided, however, that the total term of this
Lease shall not be longer than 34 years and 11 months); or (ii) Tenant shall be
deemed to have impermissibly held over and Landlord shall be entitled to all
damages directly or indirectly incurred in connection with such holding over,
including without limitation damages occasioned by the inability to relet the
Premises or a reduction in the fair market and/or fair rental value of the
Premises by reason of the existence of the Hazardous Material.
F. Upon the Lease Commencement Date, Tenant shall provide to Landlord a
complete list of all chemicals, toxic waste or Hazardous Materials employed by
Tenant within the Premises. Throughout the terms of the Lease, Tenant shall
continue to update this list of chemicals, contaminants and Hazardous Materials.
G. To the best of Landlord's knowledge, the Premises are free of
Hazardous Material. Tenant will not be held liable for the presence, clean-up,
or removal of Hazardous Material existing in the Building prior to the time of
Tenant's Lease commencement.

l. In addition to any applicable late charges, any payment due
Landlord under the Lease which is not received within ten (10)

45. OPTION TO EXTEND Tenant is given a one-time option to extend the initial
term on all the provisions, covenants, rights and obligations contained in this
Lease, except with respect to Basic rent payable, for one (1) five (5)-year
period beginning immediately following the initial Lease term, by giving written
notice of the exercise of the option (the "Option Notice") to Landlord not less
than one (1) year prior to the expiration of the original Lease term.
A. If Tenant is in default on the date of giving the Option Notice,
and Tenant does not cure such default as provided for in
Paragraph 22 of the Lease, the Option Notice shall be void and of
no effect. If Tenant is in default on the date the Option Term is
to commence, and Tenant does not cure such default as provided
for in Paragraph 22 of the Lease, then, at the sole election of
Landlord, such term shall not commence and this Lease shall
expire at the end of the initial term.
B. The Basic rent payable during the Option term shall be equal to
the then prevailing fair market rental value of the Premises as
determined with reference to comparable buildings in the area, as
Landlord and Tenant may agree, in no event, however, shall basic
rent payable during the option term be less than the last month's
basic rent for the initial term of the lease.
C. Following Landlord's receipt of the Option Notice, Landlord and
Tenant shall in good faith proceed to determine the appropriate
Basic Rent rate applicable, as outlined in Xxxxxxxxx 00X. If
Landlord and Tenant do not agree on the fair market rental value
within a 60-day period, then the fair market value shall be
determined by a local, licensed commercial real estate agent or
appraiser acceptable to both Landlord and Tenant within an
additional 30 day period.
D. If the parties hereto fail to agree on a fair market rate, as
specified in Paragraph 46C above, then, within an additional 10
day period, Landlord and Tenant shall each select an additional
licensed commercial real estate agent or appraiser and the
determination of the three together, made within 30 days of their
selection, shall be binding upon both Landlord and Tenant as to
the fair market rate.
46. FIRST MONTH'S RENT AND SECURITY DEPOSIT - The first month's Basic Rent shall
be due upon execution of the Lease in the amount of $194,796.00. A Security
Deposit equal to 10 months of Basic Rent (a rounded average over the lease term
of $230,000 per month) held by Landlord as follows: two (2) months in cash
($460,000.00) due upon execution of the Lease, and eight (8) months
($1,840,000.00) in the form of a letter of credit acceptable to Landlord,
executed and delivered to Landlord within ten (10) days of Lease execution. So
long as Tenant is not in default and Tenant has a cash bank balance in excess of
$100,000,000.00 (more specifically that the average over the preceding twelve
(12) month period has been greater than $100,000,000.00 and that the actual
balance on the anniversary date of the Lease is greater than the same amount),
the value of the letter of credit portion of the Security Deposit will decline
by ten (10) percent of the total value of the Security Deposit each year on the
anniversary date of the Lease until the value of the letter of credit is zero.
The cash portion of the Security Deposit will be held by Landlord throughout the
term of the lease according to the terms of paragraph 4.F.
47. COMPLIANCE - The Tenant is aware that a tenant of real property may be
subject to the Americans With Disabilities Act (the ADA), a Federal law codified
at 42 USC Section 12101 et seq. Among other requirements of the ADA that could
apply to the leased Premises, Title lll of the ADA requires owners and tenants
of "public accommodations" to remove barriers to access by disabled persons
16
and provide auxiliary aids and services for hearing, vision or speech impaired
persons by January 26, 1992. The regulations under Title lll of the ADA are
codified at 28 CFR Part 36.
Landlord makes no representation or warranty as to the physical condition of the
premises nor its compliance with any laws or regulations of any government
agency having authority regarding the ADA or other compliance issues.
48. TENANT IMPROVEMENTS - Tenant agrees to lease the Premises in an "as-is"
condition, and any alteration or modifications to the Premises shall be made in
accordance with paragraphs 8 & 9 of the Lease and shall not delay the
commencement of the Lease nor delay the payment of rent and such modifications
shall be at Tenant's sole cost and expense.
49. PROPERTY, PREMISES, COMPLEX - The words "Property", "Premises", and
"Complex" in the text of the Lease and Addendum shall be interchangeable by
definition.
50. STOCK OPTIONS - Prior to November 30, 2000, Tenant shall issue to Landlord
20,000 options for shares of common stock in Broadbase Software, Inc. at a price
below the current market price on the date the lease is dated. Options shall be
issued one-half in the name of J. Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx and one-half in the name of
Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have executed and delivered this Lease
as of the day and year first above written.
