Commencement Date (as prorated for any partial month) and continuing thereafter
on the first day of each successive calendar month of the Term. No demand,
notice or invoice shall be required for the payment of Basic Rent. An
installment of rent in the amount of one (1) full month's Basic Rent at the

additional rent, Tenant's Share of all Operating Expenses, as defined in Section
4.2(f), incurred by Landlord in the operation of me Building and the Project.

which is the Floor Area and the denominator of which is the total rentable
square footage, as determined from time to time by Landlord, of (i) the
Building, for expenses determined by Landlord to benefit or relate substantially
to the Building rather than the entire Project, (ii) all of the buildings in the
Project, as determined by Landlord, for expenses determined by Landlord to
benefit or relate substantially to the entire Project rather than any specific
building or (iii) all or some of the buildings within the Project as well as all
or a portion of other property owned by Landlord and/or its affiliates, for
expenses which benefit or relate to such buildings within the Project and such
other real property. In the event that Landlord determines in its sole and
absolute discretion that any premises within the Building or any building within
the Project or any portion of a building or project within a larger area incurs
a non-proportional benefit from any expense, or is the non-proportional cause of
any such expense, Landlord may, allocate a greater percentage of such Operating
Expense to such premises, building or project, as applicable. The full amount of
any management fee payable by Landlord for the management of Tenants Premises
mat is calculated as a percentage of the tent payable by Tenant shall be paid in
full by Tenant as additional rent.
(b) Prior to the start of each full Expense Recovery Period (as defined in
this Section 4.2), Landlord shall give Tenant a written estimate of the amount
of Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses for the applicable Expense Recovery
Period. Failure to provide such estimate shall not relieve Tenant from its
obligation to pay Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses or estimated amounts
thereof, if and when Landlord provides such estimate or final payment amount.
Tenant shall pay the estimated amounts to Landlord in equal monthly
installments, in advance .concurrently with payments of Basic Rent. If Landlord
has not furnished its written estimate for any Expense Recovery Period by the
time set forth above, Tenant shall continue to pay monthly the estimated
Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses in effect during the prior Expense Recovery
Period; provided that when the new estimate is delivered to Tenant, Tenant
shall, at the next monthly payment date, pay any accrued estimated Tenant's
Share of Operating Expenses based upon the new estimate. For purposes hereof,
"EXPENSE RECOVERY PERIOD" shall mean every twelve month period during the Term
(or portion thereof for the first and last lease years) commencing July 1 and
ending June 30, provided mat Landlord shall have the right to change the date on
which an Expense Recovery Period commences in which event appropriate reasonable
adjustments shall be made to Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses so that the
amount payable by Tenant shall not materially vary as a result of such change.
(c) Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each Expense
Recovery Period, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement showing in
reasonable detail the actual or prorated Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses
incurred by Landlord during the period, and the parties shall within thirty (30)
days thereafter make any payment or allowance necessary to adjust Tenant's
estimated payments of Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses, if any, to the
actual Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses as shown by the annual statement Any
delay or failure by Landlord in delivering any statement hereunder shall not
constitute a waiver of Landlord's right to require Tenant to pay Tenant's Share
of Operating Expenses pursuant hereto. Any amount due Tenant shall be credited
against installments next coming due under this Section 4.2, and any deficiency
shall be paid by Tenant together with the next installment. Should Tenant fail
to object in writing to Landlord's determination of Tenant's Share of Operating
Expenses within sixty (60) days following delivery of Landlord's expense
statement, Landlord's determination of Tenants Share of Operating Expenses for
the applicable Expense Recovery Period shall be conclusive and binding on the
parties for all purposes and any future claims to the contrary shall be barred.
(d) Even though this Lease has terminated and the Tenant has vacated the
Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenants Share of Operating
Expenses for the Expense Recovery Period in which this Lease terminates, Tenant
shall within thirty (30) days of written notice pay the entire increase over the
estimated
3
Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses already paid. Conversely, any overpayment
by Tenant shall be rebated by Landlord to Tenant not later than thirty (30) days
after such final determination.
(e) If, at any time during any Expense Recovery Period, any one or more of
the Operating Expenses are increased to a rate(s) or amount(s) in excess of the
rate(s) or amounts) used in calculating the estimated Tenant's Share of
Operating Expenses for (he year, then the estimate of Tenant's Share of
Operating Expenses may be increased by written notice from Landlord for the
month in which such rate(s) or amount(s) becomes effective and for all
succeeding months by an amount equal to Tenant's Share of the increase. If
Landlord gives Tenant written notice of the amount or estimated amount of the
increase, the month in which the increase will or has become effective, then
Tenant shall pay the increase to Landlord as a part of Tenant's monthly payments
of the estimated Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses as provided in Section
4.2(b), commencing with the month following Tenant's receipt of Landlord's
notice. In addition, Tenant shall pay upon written request any such increases
which were incurred prior to the Tenant commencing to pay such monthly increase.

of this Section 5.3, and in connection therewith Tenant shall provide Landlord
with full access to all facilities, records and personnel related thereto. If
Tenant is not in compliance with any of the provisions of this Section 5.3, or
in the event of a release of any Hazardous Material on, under or about the
Premises caused or permitted by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors,
licensees or invitees, Landlord and its agents shall have the right, but not the
obligation, without limitation upon any of Landlord's other rights and remedies

contractors, licensees or invitees of Hazardous Materials on, under, from or
about the Premises.

absolute discretion, take any remedial action in response to the presence of any
Hazardous Materials on, from, under or about the Premises or the Project or any
other affected real or personal property owned by Landlord or enter into any
similar agreement, consent, decree or other compromise with any governmental
agency with respect to any Hazardous Materials claims; provided however,

presence of Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Premises or the Project
or any other affected real or personal property owned by Landlord (i) imposes an
immediate threat to the health, safety or welfare of any individual and (ii) is
of such a nature that an immediate remedial response is necessary and it is not

Building or the Project or any other real or personal property owned by
Landlord, Tenant shall, at Landlord's request, immediately prepare and submit to
Landlord a comprehensive plan, subject to Landlord's approval, specifying the
actions to be taken by Tenant to return the Premises, the Building or the
Project or any other real or personal property owned by Landlord to the
condition existing prior to the introduction of such Hazardous Materials. Upon
Landlord's approval of such cleanup plan, Tenant shall, at its expense, and
without limitation of any rights and remedies of Landlord under this Lease or at
law or in equity, immediately implement such plan and proceed to cleanup such
Hazardous Materials in accordance with all applicable laws and as required by
such plan and this Lease. The provisions of this Section 5.3(e) shall expressly
survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

certain facts relating to Hazardous Materials at the Project known by Landlord
to exist as of the date of this Lease, as. more particularly described in
Exhibit C attached hereto. Tenant shall have no liability or responsibility with
respect to the Hazardous Materials facts described in Exhibit C. nor with
respect to any Hazardous Materials which Tenant proves were neither released on
the Premises during the Term nor caused or permitted by Tenant, its agents,
employees, contractors, licensees or invitees. Notwithstanding the preceding two
sentences, Tenant agrees to notify its agents, employees, contractors,
licensees, and invitees of any exposure or potential exposure to Hazardous
Materials at the Premises that Landlord brings to Tenant's attention. Tenant

Landlord, provided that the change does not deprive Tenant of reasonable access
to or use of the Premises.

fails to properly maintain and/or repair the Premises as herein provided
following Landlord's notice and the expiration of the applicable cure period (or
earlier if Landlord determines that such work must be performed prior to such
time in order to avoid damage to the Premises or Building or other detriment),

maintenance required hereunder on behalf of Tenant and at Tenant's expense, and
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for all costs incurred upon
submission of an invoice.

notified Landlord in writing of the need for such repair and Landlord shall have
a reasonable period of time thereafter to commence and complete said repair, if
warranted. All costs of any maintenance, repairs and replacement on the part of
Landlord provided hereunder shall be considered part of Project Costs. Tenant
further agrees that if Tenant fails to report any such need for repair in
writing within sixty (60) days of its discovery by Tenant, Tenant shall be
responsible for any
8
costs and expenses and other damages related to such repair which are in excess
of those which would have resulted had such need for repair been reported to
Landlord within such sixty (60) day period.
SECTION 7.3. ALTERATIONS. Except as otherwise provided in this Section,
Tenant shall make no alterations, additions, fixtures or improvements
("ALTERATIONS") to the Premises or the Building without the prior written
consent of Landlord, which consent may be granted or withheld in Landlord's sole
and absolute discretion. In the event that any requested Alteration would result
in a change from Landlord's building standard materials and specifications for
the Project ("STANDARD IMPROVEMENTS"), Landlord may withhold consent to such
Alteration in its sole and absolute discretion. In the event Landlord so
consents to a change from the Standard Improvements (such change being referred
to as a "NON-STANDARD IMPROVEMENT"), Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of
replacing such Non-Standard Improvement with the applicable Standard Improvement
("REPLACEMENTS") which Replacements shall be completed prior to the Expiration
Date or earlier termination of this Lease. Landlord shall not unreasonably
withhold its consent to any Alterations which cost less than One Dollar ($1.00)
per square foot of the improved portions of the Premises (excluding warehouse
square footage) and do not (i) affect the exterior of the Building or outside
areas (or be visible from adjoining sites), or (ii) affect or penetrate any of
the structural portions of the Building, including but not limited to the roof,
or (iii) require any change to the basic floor plan of the Premises or any
change to any structural or mechanical systems of the Premises, or (iv) fail to
comply with any applicable governmental requirements or require any governmental
permit as a prerequisite to the construction thereof, or (v) result in the
Premises requiring building services beyond the level normally provided to other
tenants, or (vi) interfere in any manner with the proper functioning of, or
Landlord's access to, any mechanical, electrical, plumbing or HVAC systems,
facilities or equipment located in or serving the Building, or (vii) diminish
the value of the Premises including, without limitation, using lesser quality
materials than those existing in the Premises, or (viii) alter or replace
Standard Improvements. Landlord may impose any condition to its consent,
including but not limited to a requirement that the installation and/or removal
of all Alterations and Replacements be covered by a lien and completion bond
satisfactory to Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion and requirements as
to the manner and time of performance of such work. Landlord shall in all
events, whether or not Landlord's consent is required, have the right to approve
the contractor performing the installation and removal of Alterations and
Replacements and Tenant shall not permit any contractor not approved by Landlord
to perform any work on the Premises or on the Building. Tenant shall obtain all
required permits for the installation and removal of Alterations and
Replacements and shall perform the installation and removal of Alterations and
Replacements in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and ordinances,
including without limitation the Americans with Disabilities Act, all covenants,
conditions and restrictions affecting the Project, and the Rules and Regulations
as described in Article XVII Tenant understands and agrees that Landlord shall
be entitled to a supervision fee in the amount of five percent (5%) of the cost
of the Alterations. Under no circumstances shall Tenant make any Alterations or
Replacements which incorporate any Hazardous Materials, including without
limitation asbestos-containing construction materials into the Premises, the
Building or the Common Area. If any governmental entity requires, as a condition
to any proposed Alterations by Tenant, that improvements be made to the Common
Areas, and if Landlord consents to such improvements to the Common Areas (which
consent may be withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of Landlord), then
Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole expense, make such required improvements to the
Common Areas in such manner, utilizing such materials, and with such
contractors, architects and engineers as Landlord may require in its sole and
absolute discretion. Any request for Landlord's consent to any proposed
Alterations shall be made in writing and shall contain architectural plans
describing the work in detail reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Landlord may
elect to cause its architect to review Tenant's architectural plans, and the
reasonable cost of that review shall be reimbursed by Tenant. Should the work
proposed by Tenant and consented to by Landlord modify the basic floor plan of
the Premises, then Tenant shall, at its expense, furnish Landlord with as-built
drawings and CAD disks compatible with Landlord's systems and standards. Unless
Landlord otherwise agrees in writing, all Alterations made or affixed to the
Premises, the Building or to the Common Area (excluding moveable trade fixtures
and furniture), including without limitation all Tenant Improvements constructed
pursuant to the Work Letter (except as otherwise provided in the Work Letter),
shall become the property of Landlord and shall be surrendered with the Premises
at the end of the Term; except that Landlord may, by notice to Tenant given
either prior to or following the expiration or termination of this Lease,
require Tenant to remove by the Expiration Date, or sooner termination date of
this Lease, or within ten (10) days following notice to Tenant mat such removal
is required if notice is given following the Expiration Date of sooner
termination, all or any of the Alterations installed either by Tenant or by
Landlord at Tenant's request, including without limitation all Tenant

provided in the Work Letter), and to repair any damage to the Premises, the
Building or the Common Area arising from that removal and restore the Premises
to their condition prior to making such Alterations.
SECTION 7.4. MECHANIC'S LIENS. Tenant shall keep the Premises free from
any liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished, or obligations
incurred by or for Tenant. Upon request by Landlord, Tenant shall promptly (but
in no event later than five (5) business days following such request) cause any
such lien to be released by posting a bond in accordance with California Civil
Code Section 3143 or any successor statute. In the event that Tenant shall not,
within thirty (30) days following the imposition of any lien, cause the lien to
be released of record by payment or posting of a proper bond, Landlord shall
have, in addition to all other available remedies, the right to cause the lien
to be released by any means it deems proper, including payment of or defense
against the claim giving rise to the lien. All expenses so incurred by Landlord,
including Landlord's attorneys' fees, and any consequential or other damages
incurred by Landlord arising out of such lien, shall be reimbursed by Tenant
upon demand, together with interest from the date of payment by Landlord at the
maximum rate permitted by law until paid. Tenant shall give Landlord no less
than twenty (20) days' prior notice in writing before commencing construction of
any kind on the Premises or Common Area and shall again notify Landlord that
construction has commenced, such notice to be given on the actual date on which
construction commences, so that Landlord may post and maintain notices of
nonresponsibility on the Premises or Common Area, as applicable, which notices
Landlord shall have the right to post and which Tenant agrees it shall not
disturb. Tenant shall also provide Landlord notice in writing within ten (10)
days following the date on which such work is substantially completed.

required) have the right to enter the Premises to inspect them, to supply
services in accordance with this Lease, to have access to install, repair,
maintain, replace or remove all electrical and mechanical installations of
Landlord and to protect the interests of Landlord in the Premises, and to submit
the Premises to prospective or actual purchasers or encumbrance holders (or,
during the last one hundred and eighty (180) days of the Term or when an uncured
Tenant Event of Default exists, to prospective tenants), all without being
deemed to have caused an eviction of Tenant and without abatement of rent except
as provided elsewhere in this Lease. Landlord shall have the right, if desired,
to retain a key which unlocks all of the doors in the Premises, excluding
Tenant's vaults and safes, and Landlord shall have the right to use any and all
means which Landlord may deem proper to open the doors in an emergency in order
to obtain entry to the Premises, and any entry to the Premises obtained by
Landlord shall not under any circumstances be deemed to be a forcible or
unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or any eviction of Tenant
from the Premises.
SECTION 7.6. SPACE PLANNING AND SUBSTITUTION. Landlord shall have the
right, upon providing not less than forty-five (45) days written notice, to move
Tenant to other space of substantially comparable size in the Building, the
Project or in other space owned by Landlord within three (3) miles of the
Building ("New Premises"), and this Lease shall continue in effect except that
the Premises hereunder shall be redefined to mean the New Premises. The New
Premises shall be provided with improvements of comparable quality to those
within the existing Premises. Landlord shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket
costs to relocate and reconnect Tenant's personal property and equipment within
the New Premises; provided that Landlord may elect to. cause such work to be
done by its contractors. Landlord shall also reimburse Tenant for such other
reasonable out- of-pocket costs that Tenant may incur in connection with the
relocation, including without limitation necessary stationery revisions,
provided that a reasonable estimate thereof is given to Landlord within twenty
(20) days following Landlord's notice. In no event, however, shall Landlord be
obligated to incur or fund total relocation costs, exclusive of tenant
improvement expenditures, in an amount in excess of two (2) months of Basic Rent
at the rate then payable hereunder. Within ten (10) days following request by
Landlord, Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Lease prepared by Landlord
to memorialize the relocation. Should Tenant tail timely to execute and deliver
the amendment to Landlord for any reason or in the event of any other breach of
this Section 7.6, such failure or breach shall be an Event of Default and
damages to Landlord as a result shall be determined on the assumption that the
New Premises have become the Premises as defined in this Lease, regardless of
whether Tenant has signed the requested amendment, in addition to damages
payable to Landlord which result from any failure by Tenant to vacate the
existing Premises, as well as any other damages or remedies available to
Landlord as a result of such Event of Default.
ARTICLE VIII. TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS ON TENANT'S PROPERTY
Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay, at least ten (10) days before
delinquency, all taxes and assessments levied against all personal property of
Tenant located in the Premises, and, if required by Landlord, against all Non
Standard Improvements to the Premises (as defined in Section 7.3) made by
Landlord or Tenant, and against any Alterations (as defined in Section 7.3) made
to the Premises or the Building by or on behalf of Tenant If requested by
Landlord, Tenant shall cause its personal property, Non-Standard Improvements
and Alterations to be assessed and billed separately from the real property of
which the Premises form a part. If any taxes required to be paid by Tenant on
Tenant's personal property, Non-Standard Improvements and/or Alterations are
levied against Landlord or Landlord's property and if Landlord pays the same, or
if the assessed value of Landlord's property is increased by the inclusion of a
value placed upon- the personal property, Non-Standard Improvements and/or
Alterations and if Landlord pays the taxes based upon the increased assessment,
Landlord shall have the right to require that Tenant pay to Landlord the taxes
so levied against Landlord or the proportion of the taxes resulting from the
increase in the assessment In calculating what portion of any tax xxxx which is
assessed against Landlord separately, or Landlord and Tenant jointly, is
attributable to Tenant's Non-Standard Improvements, Alterations and personal
property, Landlord's reasonable determination shall be conclusive.
ARTICLE IX. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
SECTION 9.1. RIGHTS OF PARTIES.
(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, and
except as to transfers expressly permitted without Landlord's consent pursuant
to Section 9.4, Tenant will not, either voluntarily or by operation of law,
assign, sublet, encumber, or otherwise transfer all or any part of Tenant's
interest in this Lease or the Premises, or permit the Premises to be occupied by
anyone other than Tenant, without Landlord's prior written consent, which
consent shall not unreasonably be withheld in accordance with the provisions of
Section 9.1(b). No assignment (whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of
law) and no subletting shall be valid or effective without Landlord's prior
written consent and, at Landlord's election, any such assignment or subletting
shall be void and of no-force, and effect and any such attempted assignment or
subletting shall constitute an Event of Default of this Lease. Landlord shall
not be deemed to have given its consent to any assignment or subletting by any
course of action, including its acceptance of any name for listing in the
Building directory, other than written consent. To the extent not prohibited by
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. Section 101 et seq., (the
"BANKRUPTCY CODE"), including Section 365(f)(l), Tenant on behalf of itself and
its creditors, administrators and assigns waives the applicability of Section
365(e) of the Bankruptcy Code unless the proposed assignee of the Trustee for
the estate of the bankrupt meets Landlord's standard for consent as set forth in
Section 9.1(b) of this Lease. If this Lease is assigned to any person or entity
pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, any and all monies or other
considerations to be delivered in connection with the assignment shall be
delivered to Landlord, shall be and remain the exclusive property of Landlord
and shall not constitute property of Tenant or of the estate of Tenant within
the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code. Any person or entity to which this Lease is
assigned pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed to
have assumed all of the obligations arising under this Lease on and after
10
the date of the assignment, and shall upon demand execute and deliver to
Landlord an instrument confirming that assumption.
(b) If Tenant desires to transfer an interest in flu's Lease or fee
Premises, it shall first notify Landlord of its desire and shall submit in
writing to Landlord: (i) the name and address of the proposed transferee; (ii)
the nature of any proposed transferee's business to be carried on in the
Premises; (iii) the terms and provisions of any proposed sublease, assignment or
other transfer, including a copy of the proposed assignment, sublease or
transfer form; (iv) evidence that the proposed assignee, subtenant or transferee
will comply with the requirements of Exhibit D hereto; (v) a completed
Environmental Questionnaire from the proposed assignee, subtenant or transferee;
(vi) any other information requested by Landlord and reasonably related to the
transfer and (vii) the fee described in Section 9.1(e). Except as provided in
Section 9.1 (c), Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent, provided
that the parties agree that it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its
consent if; (1) the use of the Premises will not be consistent with the
provisions of this Lease or with Landlord's commitment to other tenants of the
Building and Project; (2) the proposed assignee or subtenant has been required
by any prior landlord, lender or governmental authority to take remedial action
in connection with Hazardous Materials contaminating a property arising out of
the proposed assignee's or subtenant's actions or use of the property in
question or is subject to any enforcement order issued by any governmental
authority in connection with the use, disposal or storage of a Hazardous
Material; (3) insurance requirements of the proposed assignee or subtenant may
not be brought into conformity with Landlord's then current leasing practice;
(4) a proposed subtenant or assignee has not demonstrated to the reasonable
satisfaction of Landlord that it is financially responsible or has failed to
submit to Landlord all reasonable information as requested by Landlord
concerning the proposed subtenant or assignee, including, but not limited to, a
certified balance sheet of the proposed subtenant or assignee as of a date
within ninety (90) days of the request for Landlord's consent, statements of
income or profit and loss of the proposed subtenant or assignee for the two-year
period preceding the request for Landlord's consent, and/or a certification
signed by the proposed subtenant or assignee that it has not been evicted or
been in arrears in rent at any other leased premises for the 3-year period
preceding the request for Landlord's consent; (5) any proposed subtenant or
assignee has not demonstrated to Landlord's reasonable satisfaction a record of
successful experience in business; (6) the proposed assignee or subtenant is an
existing tenant of the Building or Project or a prospect with whom Landlord is
negotiating to become a tenant at the Building or Project; or (7) the proposed
transfer will impose additional burdens or adverse tax effects on Landlord. If
Tenant has any exterior sign rights under this Lease, such rights are personal
to Tenant and may not be assigned or transferred to any assignee of this Lease
or subtenant of the Premises without Landlord's prior written consent, which may
be withheld in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion.
If Landlord consents to the proposed transfer, Tenant may within ninety
(90) days after the date of the consent effect the transfer upon the terms
described in the information furnished to Landlord; provided that any material
change in the terms shall be subject to Landlord's consent as set forth in this
Section 9.1. Landlord shall approve or disapprove any requested transfer within
thirty (30) days following receipt of Tenants written request, the information
set forth above, and the fee set forth below.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.1(b) above, in lieu of
consenting to a proposed assignment or subletting, Landlord may elect, within
the thirty (30) day period permitted for Landlord to approve or disapprove a
requested transfer, to (i) sublease the Premises (or the portion proposed to be
subleased), or take an assignment of Tenant's interest in this Lease, upon
substantially the same terms as offered to the proposed subtenant or assignee
(excluding terms relating to the purchase of personal property, the use of
Tenant's name or the continuation of Tenant's business), or (ii) terminate this
Lease as to the portion of the Premises proposed to be subleased or assigned
with a proportionate abatement in the rent payable under this Lease, effective
thirty (30) days' following written notice by Landlord of its election to so
sublease or terminate. Landlord may thereafter, at its option, assign, sublet or
re-let any space so sublet, obtained by assignment or obtained by termination to
any third party, including without limitation the proposed transferee of Tenant
(d) In the event that Landlord approves the requested assignment or
subletting, Tenant agrees that fifty percent (50%) of any amounts paid by the
assignee or subtenant, however described, in excess of (i) the Basic Rent
payable by Tenant hereunder, or in the case of a sublease of a portion of the
Premises, in excess of the Basic Rent reasonably allocable to such portion as
determined by Landlord, plus (ii) Tenant's direct out-of-pocket costs which
Tenant certifies to Landlord have been paid to provide occupancy related
services to such assignee or subtenant of a nature commonly provided by
landlords of similar space, shall be the property of Landlord and such amounts
shall be payable directly to Landlord by the assignee or subtenant or, at
Landlord's option, by Tenant within ten (10) days of Tenant's receipt thereof.
Landlord shall have the right to review or audit the books and records of
Tenant, or have such books and records reviewed or audited by an outside
accountant, to confirm any such direct out-of-pocket costs. In the event that
such direct out-of-pocket costs claimed by Tenant are overstated by more than
five percent (5%), Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any of Landlord's costs
related to such review or audit. At Landlord's request, a written agreement
shall be entered into by and among Tenant, Landlord and the proposed assignee or
subtenant confirming the requirements of this Section 9.1(d).
(e) Tenant shall pay to Landlord a fee equal to the greater of (i)
Landlord's actual costs related to such assignment, subletting or other transfer
or (ii) Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00), to process any request by Tenant for an
assignment, subletting or other transfer under this Lease. Tenant shall pay
Landlord the sum of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) concurrently with Tenant's
request for consent to any assignment, subletting or other transfer, and
Landlord shall have no obligation to consider such request unless accompanied by
such payment. Tenant shall pay Landlord upon demand any costs in excess of such
payment to the extent Landlord's actual costs related to such request exceeds
$500.00. Such fee is hereby acknowledged as a reasonable amount to reimburse
Landlord for its costs of review and evaluation of a proposed transfer.
SECTION 9.2. EFFECT OF TRANSFER. No subletting or assignment, even with
the consent of Landlord, shall relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay rent and
to perform all its other obligations under this Lease.
11
Moreover, Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless, as provided in
Section 10.3, for any act or omission by an assignee or subtenant. Each
assignee, other than Landlord, shall assume all obligations of Tenant under this
Lease and shall be liable jointly and severally with Tenant for the payment of
all rent, and for the due performance of all of Tenant's obligations, under this
Lease. No assignment or subletting shall be effective or binding on Landlord
unless documentation in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord in its
reasonable discretion evidencing the transfer, and in the case of an assignment,
the assignee's assumption of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, is
delivered to Landlord and both the assignee/subtenant and Tenant deliver to
Landlord an executed consent to transfer instrument prepared by Landlord and
consistent with the requirements of this Article. The acceptance by Landlord of
any payment due under this Lease from any other person shall not be deemed to be
a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any
transfer. Consent by Landlord to one or more transfers shall not operate as a
waiver or estoppel to the future enforcement by Landlord of its rights under
this Lease or as a consent to any subsequent transfer.
SECTION 93. SUBLEASE REQUIREMENTS. The following terms and conditions
shall apply to any subletting by Tenant of all or any part of the Premises and
shall be deemed included in each sublease:
(a) Each and every provision contained in this Lease (other than with
respect to the payment of rent hereunder) is incorporated by reference into and
made a part of such sublease, with "LANDLORD" hereunder meaning the sublandlord
therein and "TENANT" hereunder meaning the subtenant therein.
(b) Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns to Landlord all of Tenant's
interest in all rentals and income arising from any sublease of the Premises,
and Landlord may collect such rent and income and apply same toward Tenant's
obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that until there is an Event of
Default by Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to receive and collect the
sublease rentals. Landlord shall not, by reason of this assignment or the
collection of sublease rentals, be deemed liable to the subtenant for the
performance of any of Tenant's obligations under the sublease. Tenant hereby
irrevocably authorizes and directs any subtenant, upon receipt of a written
notice from Landlord stating that an uncured Event of Default exists in the
performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, to pay to Landlord all
sums then and thereafter due under the sublease. Tenant agrees that the
subtenant may rely on that notice without any duty of further inquiry and
notwithstanding any notice or claim by Tenant to the contrary. Tenant shall have
no right or claim against the subtenant or Landlord for any rentals so paid to
Landlord.
(c) In the event of the termination of this Lease for any reason,
including without limitation as the result of an Event of Default by Tenant or
by the mutual agreement of Landlord and Tenant, Landlord may, at its sole
option, take over Tenant's entire interest in any sublease and, upon notice from
Landlord, the subtenant shall attorn to Landlord. In no event, however, shall
Landlord be liable for any previous act or omission by Tenant under the sublease
or for the return of any advance rental payments or deposits under the sublease
that have not been actually delivered to Landlord, nor shall Landlord be bound
by any sublease modification executed without Landlord's consent or for any
advance rental payment by the subtenant in excess of one month's rent. The
general provisions of this Lease, including without limitation those pertaining
to insurance and indemnification, shall be deemed incorporated by reference into
the sublease despite the termination of this Lease. In the event Landlord does
not elect to take over Tenant's interest in a sublease in the event of any such
termination of this Lease, such sublease shall terminate concurrently with the
termination of this Lease and such subtenant shall have no further rights under
such sublease and Landlord shall have no obligations to such subtenant.
SECTION 9.4. CERTAIN TRANSFERS. The following shall be deemed to
constitute an assignment of this Lease; (a) the sale of all or substantially all
of Tenant's assets (other than bulk sales in the ordinary course of business),
(b) if Tenant is a corporation, an unincorporated association, a limited
liability company or a partnership, the transfer, assignment or hypothecation of
any stock or interest in such corporation, association, limited liability
company or partnership in the aggregate of twenty-five percent (25%) (except for
publicly traded shares of stock constituting a transfer of twenty-five percent
(25%) or more in the aggregate, so long as no change in the controlling interest
of Tenant occurs as a result thereof), or (c) any other direct or indirect
change of control of Tenant, including, without limitation, change of control of
Tenant's parent company or a merger by Tenant or its parent company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord's consent shall not be required for the
assignment of this Lease as a result of a merger by Tenant with or into another
entity or a reorganization of Tenant, so long as (i) the net worth of the
successor or reorganized entity after such merger is at least equal to the
greater of the net worth of Tenant as of the execution of this Lease by Landlord
or the net worth of Tenant immediately prior to the date of such merger or
reorganization, evidence of which, satisfactory to Landlord, shall be presented
to Landlord prior to such merger or reorganization, (ii) Tenant shall provide to
Landlord, prior to such merger or reorganization, written notice of such merger
or reorganization and such assignment documentation and other information as
Landlord may require in connection therewith, and (iii) all of the other terms
and requirements Section 9.2 and 9.3 shall apply with respect to such
assignment.
ARTICLE X. INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY
SECTION 10.1. TENANT'S INSURANCE. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense,
shall provide and maintain in effect the insurance described in Exhibit D.
Evidence of that insurance must be delivered to Landlord prior to the Early
Occupancy Date.
SECTION 10.2. LANDLORD'S INSURANCE. Landlord may, at its election, provide
any or all of the following types of insurance, with or without deductible and
in amounts and coverages as may be determined by Landlord in its sole and
absolute discretion: "all risk" or similar property insurance, subject to
standard exclusions, covering the Building and/or Project, and such other risks
as Landlord or its mortgagees may from time to time deem appropriate, including
Tenant Improvements made by Landlord pursuant to the Work Letter, and commercial
general liability coverage. Landlord shall not be required to carry insurance of
any kind on Tenant's Alterations or
12
on Tenant's other property, including, leasehold improvements, trade fixtures,
furnishings, equipment, plate glass, signs and all other items of personal
property, and shall not be obligated to repair or replace that property should
damage occur. All proceeds of insurance maintained by Landlord upon the Building
and/or Project shall, as between Landlord and Tenant, be the property of
Landlord, whether or not Landlord is obligated to or elects to make any repairs.
At Landlord's option, Landlord may self-insure all or any portion of the risks
for which Landlord elects to provide insurance hereunder.
SECTION 10.3. TENANT'S INDEMNITY. To the fullest extent permitted by law,
Tenant shall defend, indemnify, protect, save and hold harmless Landlord, its
agents, and any and all affiliates of Landlord, including, without limitation,
any corporations or other entities controlling, controlled by or under common
control with Landlord, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs
or expenses arising either before or after the Early Occupancy Date from
Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises, the Building or the Common Areas,
including, without limitation, the use by Tenant, its agents, employees,
invitees or licensees of any recreational facilities within the Common Areas, or
from the conduct of its business, or from any activity, work, or thing done,
permitted or suffered by Tenant or its agents, employees, invitees or licensees
in or about the Premises, the Building or the Common Areas, or from any Event of
Default in the performance of any obligation on Tenant's part to be performed
under this Lease, or from any act or negligence of Tenant or its agents,
employees, visitors, patrons, guests, invitees or licensees. Landlord may, at
its option, require Tenant to assume Landlord's defense in any action covered by
this Section through counsel satisfactory to Landlord. The provisions of this
Section shall expressly survive the expiration or sooner termination of this
Lease. Tenant's obligations under this Section shall not apply in the event that
the claim, liability, cost or expense is caused solely by the active negligence
or willful misconduct of Landlord.
SECTION 10.4. LANDLORD'S NONLIABILITY. Landlord shall not be liable to
Tenant, its employees, agents and invitees, and Tenant hereby waives all claims
against Landlord and knowingly assumes the risk of for loss of or damage to any
property, or loss or interruption of business or income, or any other loss,
cost, damage, injury or liability whatsoever (including without limitation any
consequential damages and lost profit or opportunity costs) resulting from, but
not limited to, Acts of God, acts of civil disobedience or insurrection, acts or
omissions of third parties and/or of other tenants within the Project or their
agents, employees, contractors, guests or invitees, fire, explosion, falling
plaster, steam, gas, electricity, water or rain which may leak or flow from or
into any part of the Premises or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction or
other defects of the pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air
conditioning, electrical works, roof, windows or other fixtures in the Building,
whether the damage or injury results from conditions arising in the Premises or
in other portions of the Building. It is understood that any such condition may
require the temporary evacuation or closure of all or a portion of the Building.
Landlord shall have no liability (including without limitation consequential
damages and lost profit or opportunity costs) and, except as provided in
Sections 11.1 and 12.1 below, there shall be no abatement of rent, by reason of
any injury to or interference with Tenant's business arising from the making of
any repairs, alterations or improvements to any portion of the Building,
including repairs to the Premises, nor shall any related activity by Landlord
constitute an actual or constructive eviction; provided, however, that in making
repairs, alterations or improvements, Landlord shall interfere as little as
reasonably practicable with the conduct of Tenant's business in the Premises.
Neither Landlord nor its agents shall be liable for interference with light or
other similar intangible interests. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord in
case of fire or accident in the Premises, the Building or the Project and of
defects in any improvements or equipment.
SECTION 10.5. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Landlord and Tenant each hereby
waives all rights of recovery against the other and the other's agents on
account of loss and damage occasioned to the property of such waiving party to
the extent only that such loss or damage is required to be insured against, or,
if not required, is actually insured against, under any property insurance
policies contemplated by this Article X; provided however, that (i) the
foregoing waiver shall not apply to the extent of Tenant's obligations to pay
deductibles under any such policies and this Lease and (ii) to the extent Tenant
fails to maintain the insurance required to be maintained by Tenant pursuant to
this Lease, Landlord shall not be deemed to have waived any right of recovery
against Tenant. By this waiver it is the intent of the parties that neither
Landlord nor Tenant shall be liable to any insurance company (by way of
subrogation or otherwise) insuring the other party for any loss or damage
insured against under any property insurance policies contemplated by this
Lease, even though such loss or damage might be occasioned by the negligence of
such party, its agents, employees, contractors, guests or invitees.
ARTICLE XI. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
SECTION 11.1. RESTORATION.
(a) If the Premises or the Building or a part thereof are materially
damaged by any fire, flood, earthquake or other casualty, Landlord shall have
the right to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Tenant if: (i) Landlord
reasonably determines that proceeds necessary to pay the full cost of repair is
not available from Landlord's insurance, including without limitation earthquake
insurance, plus such additional amounts Tenant elects, at its option, to
contribute, excluding however the deductible (for which Tenant shall be
responsible for Tenant's Share); (ii) Landlord reasonably determines that the
Premises cannot, with reasonable diligence, be fully repaired by Landlord (or
cannot be safely repaired because of the presence of hazardous factors,
including without limitation Hazardous Materials, earthquake faults, and other
similar dangers) within two hundred seventy (270) days after the date of the
damage; (iii) an uncured Event of Default by Tenant has occurred; or (iv) the
material damage occurs during the final twelve (12) months of the Term. Landlord
shall notify Tenant in writing ("LANDLORD'S NOTICE") within sixty (60) days
after the damage occurs as to (A) whether Landlord is terminating this Lease as
a result of such material damage and (B) if Landlord is not terminating this
Lease, the number of days within which Landlord has estimated that the Premises,
with reasonable diligence, are likely to be fully repaired. In the event
Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, this Lease shall terminate as of the
date specified for termination by Landlord's Notice
13
(which termination date shall in no event be later than sixty (60) days
following the date of the damage, or, if no such date is specified, such
termination shall be the date of Landlord's Notice).
(b) If Landlord has the right to terminate this Lease pursuant to
Section 11.1(a) and does not elect to so terminate this Lease, and provided
that at the time of Landlord's Notice neither an Event of Default exists nor has
Landlord delivered Tenant a notice of any failure by Tenant to fulfill an
obligation under this Lease which, unless cured by Tenant within the applicable
grace period, would constitute an Event of Default, then within ten (10) days
following delivery of Landlord's Notice pursuant to Section 11.1 (a), Tenant may
elect to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord, but only if (i)
Landlord's Notice specifies that Landlord has determined that the Premises
cannot be repaired, with reasonable diligence, within two hundred seventy (270)
days after the date of damage or (ii) the casualty has occurred within the final
twelve (12) months of the Term and such material damage has a materially adverse
impact on Tenant's continued use of the Premises. If Tenant fails to provide
such termination notice within such ten (10) day period, Tenant shall be deemed
to have waived any termination right under this Section 11.1(b) or any other
applicable law.
(c) In the event that neither Landlord nor Tenant terminates this Lease
pursuant to this Section 11.1 as a result of material damage to the Building or
Premises resulting from a casualty, Landlord shall repair all material damage to
the Premises or the Building as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall
continue in effect for the remainder of the Term. Subject to any provision to
the contrary in the Work Letter, such repair by Landlord shall include repair of
material damage to the Tenant Improvements constructed pursuant to the Work
Letter, so long as insurance proceeds from insurance required to be carried by
Tenant are made available to Landlord. Landlord shall have the right, but not
the obligation, to repair or replace any other leasehold improvements made by
Tenant or any Alterations (as defined in Section 7.3) constructed by Tenant If
Landlord elects to repair or replace such leasehold improvements and/or
Alterations, all insurance proceeds available for such repair or replacement
shall be made available to Landlord. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant
in the event that the Premises or the Building has not been fully repaired
within the time period specified by Landlord in Landlord's Notice to Tenant-as
described in Section 11.1(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the repair of
damage to the Premises to the extent such damage is not material shall be
governed by Sections 7.1 and 7.2.
(d) Commencing on the date of such material damage to the Building, and
ending on the sooner of the date the damage is repaired or the date this Lease
is terminated, the rental to be paid under this Lease shall be abated in the
same proportion mat the Floor Area of the Premises that is rendered unusable by
the damage from time to time bears to the total Floor Area of the Premises, as
determined by Landlord, but only to the extent that any business interruption
insurance proceeds are received by Landlord therefor from Tenant's insurance
described in Exhibit D.
(e) Landlord shall not be required to repair or replace any improvements
or fixtures that Tenant is obligated to repair or replace pursuant to Section
7.1 or any other provision of this Lease and Tenant shall continue to be
obligated to so repair or replace any such improvements or fixtures,
notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in this Article XI. In addition,
in the event the damage or destruction to the Premises or Building are due in
substantial part to the fault or neglect of Tenant or its employees, subtenants,
invitees or representatives, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.5, the
costs of such repairs or replacement to the Premises or Building shall be borne
by Tenant to the extent that insurance proceeds sufficient to complete such
repair or replacement are not made available to Landlord and in addition, Tenant
shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease as a result, notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 11.1(b).
(f) Tenant shall fully cooperate with Landlord in removing Tenant's
personal property and any debris from the Premises to facilitate all inspections
of the Premises and the making of any repairs. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Lease, if Landlord to good faith believes there is a
risk of injury to persons or damage to property from entry into the Building or
Premises following any damage or destruction thereto, Landlord may restrict
entry into the Building or the Premises by Tenant, its employees, agents and
contractors in a non-discriminatory manner, without being deemed to have
violated Tenant's rights of quiet enjoyment to, or made an unlawful detainer of,
or evicted Tenant from, the Premises. Upon request, Landlord shall consult with
Tenant to determine if there are safe methods of entry into the Building or the
Premises solely in order to allow Tenant to retrieve files, data in computers,
and necessary inventory, subject however to all indemnities and waivers of
liability from Tenant to Landlord contained in this Lease and any additional
indemnities and waivers of liability which Landlord may require.
SECTION 11.2. LEASE GOVERNS. Tenant agrees that the provisions of this
Lease, including without limitation Section 11.1, shall govern any damage or
destruction and shall accordingly supersede any contrary statute or rule of law.
ARTICLE XII. EMINENT DOMAIN
SECTION 12.1. TOTAL OR PARTIAL TAKING. If all or a material portion of the
Premises is taken by any lawful authority by exercise of the right of eminent
domain, or sold to prevent a taking, either Tenant or Landlord may terminate
this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to
the authority. In the event title to a portion of the Building or Project,
whether or not including a portion of the Premises, is taken or sold in lieu of
taking, Landlord may elect to restore the Building or Project or, if a material
portion of the Building or Project is taken or sold in lieu of taking, terminate
this Lease. If Landlord elects to restore the Building in such a way as to alter
the Premises materially, either party may terminate this Lease, by written
notice to the other party, effective on the date of vesting of title. In the
event neither party has elected to terminate this Lease as provided above, then
Landlord shall promptly, after receipt of a sufficient condemnation award,
proceed to restore the Premises to substantially their condition prior to the
taking, and a proportionate allowance shall be made to Tenant for the rent
corresponding to the time during which, and to me part of the Premises of which,
Tenant is
14
deprived on account of the taking and restoration. In the event of a taking,
Landlord shall be entitled to the entire amount of the condemnation award
without deduction for any estate or interest of Tenant; provided that nothing in
this Section shall be deemed to give Landlord any interest in, or prevent Tenant
from seeking any award against the taking authority for, the taking of personal
property and fixtures belonging to Tenant or for relocation or business
interruption expenses recoverable from the taking authority.
SECTION 12.2. TEMPORARY TAKING. No temporary taking of the Premises shall
terminate this Lease or give Tenant any right to abatement of rent, and any
award specifically attributable to a temporary taking of the Premises (less the
costs incurred by Landlord in collecting such award) shall belong entirely to
Tenant. A temporary taking shall be deemed to be a taking of the use or
occupancy of me Premises for a period of not to exceed ninety (90) days.
SECTION 12.3. TAKING OF PARKING AREA. In the event there shall be a taking
of the parking area such that Landlord can no longer provide sufficient parking
to comply with this Lease, Landlord may substitute reasonably equivalent parking
in a location reasonably close to the Building; provided that if Landlord fails
to make that substitution within ninety (90) days following the taking and if
the taking materially impairs Tenant's use and enjoyment of the Premises, Tenant
may, at its option, terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord. If this
Lease is not so terminated by Tenant, there shall be no abatement of rent and
this Lease shall continue in effect.
ARTICLE XIII. SUBORDINATION; ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE; FINANCIALS
SECTION 13.1. SUBORDINATION. Unless otherwise requested by Landlord, this
Lease shall be subordinate to the Ground Lease and all modifications,
amendments, extensions and renewals thereof, provided that so long as Tenant is
not in default under this Lease, this Lease shall not be terminated or Tenant's
quiet enjoyment of the Premises disturbed in the event of the termination of the
Ground Lease. At the option of Landlord or any lender of Landlord's that obtains
a security interest in the Building, this Lease shall be either superior or
subordinate to any underlying mortgages and deeds of trust, if any, which may
hereafter affect the Building, and to all renewals, modifications,
consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof; provided, that so long as
no Event of Default exists under this Lease, Tenant's possession and quiet
enjoyment of the Premises shall not be disturbed and this Lease shall not
terminate in the event of the foreclosure of any such mortgage or deed of trust,
to which this Lease has been subordinated pursuant to this Section. Tenant shall
execute and deliver any documents or agreements requested by Landlord or lender
which provide Tenant with the non-disturbance protections set forth in this
Section. In the event of a termination or foreclosure (including, without
limitation, a termination of the Ground Lease), Tenant shall become a tenant of
and attorn to the successor-in-interest to Landlord upon the same terms and
conditions as are contained in this Lease, and shall execute any instrument
reasonably required by Landlord's successor for that purpose. Tenant shall also,
upon written request of Landlord, execute and deliver all instruments as may be
required from time to time to subordinate the rights of Tenant under this Lease
to any ground or underlying lease or to the lien of any mortgage or deed of
trust (provided that such instruments include the nondisturbance and attornment
provisions set forth above), or, if requested by Landlord, to subordinate, in
whole or in part, any ground or underlying lease or the lien of any mortgage or
deed of trust to this Lease. Tenant agrees that any purchaser at a foreclosure
sale or lender taking title under a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure shall not be
responsible for any act or omission of a prior landlord, shall not be subject to
any offsets or defenses Tenant may have against a prior landlord, and shall not
be liable for the return of the security deposit to the extent it is not
actually received by such purchaser or bound by any rent paid for more than the
current month in which the foreclosure occurred.
SECTION 13.2. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.
(a) Tenant shall, at any time upon not less than ten (10) days prior
written notice from Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, in
any form that Landlord may reasonably require, a statement in writing (i)
certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if
modified, stating the nature of the modification and certifying that this Lease,
as modified, is in full force and effect) and the dates to which the rental,
additional rent and other charges have been paid in advance, if any, and (ii)
acknowledging that, to Tenant's knowledge, there are no uncured defaults on the
part of Landlord, or specifying each default if any are claimed, and (iii)
setting forth all further information that Landlord or any purchaser or
encumbrancer may reasonably require. Tenant's statement may be relied upon by
any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of all or any portion of the Building
or Project.
(b) Notwithstanding any other rights and remedies of Landlord, Tenant's
failure to deliver any estoppel statement within the provided time shall be
conclusive upon Tenant that (i) this Lease is in full force and effect, without
modification except as may be represented by Landlord, (ii) there are no uncured
Events of Default in Landlord's performance, and (iii) not more than one month's
rental has been paid in advance.
SECTION 13.3. FINANCIALS.
(a) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, prior to the execution of this
Lease and thereafter at any time upon Landlord's request, Tenant's current tax
returns and financial statements, certified true, accurate and complete by the
chief financial officer of Tenant, including a balance sheet and profit and loss
statement for the most recent prior year, or, in the event Tenant is a publicly
traded corporation on a nationally recognized stock exchange, Tenant's current
financial reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(collectively, the "STATEMENTS"), which Statements shall accurately and
completely reflect the financial condition of Tenant. Landlord agrees that it
will keep the Statements confidential, except that Landlord shall have the right
to deliver the same to any proposed purchaser of the Building or Project, and to
any encumbrancer of all or any portion of the Building or Project.
15
(b) Tenant acknowledges that Landlord is relying on the Statements in
its determination to enter into this Lease, and Tenant represents to Landlord,
which representation shall be deemed made on the date of this Lease and again on
the Commencement Date, that no material change in the financial condition of
Tenant, as reflected in the Statements, has occurred since the date Tenant
delivered the Statements to Landlord. The Statements are represented and
warranted by Tenant to be correct and to accurately and fully reflect Tenant's
true financial condition as of the date of submission by any Statements to
Landlord.
ARTICLE XIV. EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
SECTION 14.1. TENANT'S DEFAULTS. In addition to any other breaches of this
Lease which are defined as Events of Default in this Lease, the occurrence of
any one or more of the following events shall constitute an Event of Default by
Tenant:
(a) The failure by Tenant to make any payment of Basic Rent or
additional rent required to be made by Tenant, as and when due, where the
failure continues for a period of three (3) days after written notice from
Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of,
and not in addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil
Procedure Section 1161 and 1161(a) as amended. For purposes of these Events of
Default and remedies provisions, the term "ADDITIONAL RENT" shall be deemed to
include all amounts of any type whatsoever other than Basic Rent to be paid by
Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease.
(b) The assignment, sublease, encumbrance or other transfer of this
Lease by Tenant, either voluntarily or by operation of law, whether by judgment,
execution, transfer by intestacy or testacy, or other means, without the prior
written consent of Landlord when consent is required by this Lease.
(c) The discovery by Landlord that any financial statement provided by
Tenant, or by any affiliate, successor or guarantor of Tenant, was materially
false.
(d) The failure of Tenant to timely and fully provide any subordination
agreement, estoppel certificate or financial statements in accordance with the
requirements of Article XIII.
(e) The abandonment of the Premises by Tenant.
(f) The failure or inability by Tenant to observe or perform any of the
express or implied covenants or provisions of this Lease to be observed or
performed by Tenant, other than as specified in this Section 14.1, where the
failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice from
Landlord to Tenant or such shorter period as is specified in any other provision
of this Lease; provided, however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and
not in addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure
Section 1161 and 1161(a) as amended. However, if the nature of the failure is
such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then
Tenant shall not be deemed to have committed an Event of Default if Tenant
commences the cure within thirty (30) days, and thereafter diligently pursues
the cure to completion.
(g) (i) The making by Tenant of any general assignment for the benefit
of creditors; (ii) the filing by or against Tenant of a petition to have Tenant
adjudged a Chapter 7 debtor under the Bankruptcy Code or to have debts
discharged or a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law
relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant,
the same is dismissed within thirty (30) days); (iii) the appointment of a
trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant's assets
located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease, if possession is
not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; (iv) the attachment, execution
or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant's assets located at the
Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease, where the seizure is not
discharged within thirty (30) days; (v) Tenant's convening of a meeting of its
creditors for the purpose of effecting a moratorium upon or composition of its
debts or (vi) the failure of Tenant to pay its material obligations to creditors
as and when they become due and payable, other than as a result of a good faith
dispute by Tenant as to the amount due to such creditors. Landlord shall not be
deemed to have knowledge of any event described in this Section 14.1(g) unless
notification in writing is received by Landlord, nor shall there be any
presumption attributable to Landlord of Tenant's insolvency. In the event that
any provision of this Section 14.1(g) is contrary to applicable law, the
provision shall be of no force or effect.
SECTION 14.2. LANDLORD'S REMEDIES.
(a) If an Event of Default by Tenant occurs, then in addition to any
other remedies available to Landlord, Landlord may exercise the following
remedies:
(i) Landlord may terminate Tenant's right to possession of the
Premises by any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and
Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. Such
termination shall not affect any accrued obligations of Tenant under this Lease.
Upon termination, Landlord shall have the right to reenter the Premises and
remove all persons and property. Landlord shall also be entitled to recover from
Tenant:
(1) The worth at the time of award of the unpaid Basic Rent
and additional rent which had been earned at the time of termination;
(2) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which
the unpaid Basic Rent and additional rent which would have been earned after
termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such loss that Tenant
proves could have been reasonably avoided;
16
(3) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which
the unpaid Basic Rent and additional rent for the balance of the Term after the
time of award exceeds the amount of such loss that Tenant proves could be
reasonably avoided;
(4) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for
all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its
obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be
likely to result from Tenant's Event of Default, including, but not limited to,
the cost of recovering possession of the Premises, refurbishment of the
Premises, marketing costs, commissions and other expenses of reletting,
including necessary repair, the unamortized portion of any tenant improvements
and brokerage commissions funded by Landlord in connection with this Lease,
reasonable attorneys' fees, and any other reasonable costs; and
(5) At Landlord's election, all other amounts in addition to
or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted by law. Any sum, other than
Basic Rent, shall be computed on the basis of the average monthly amount
accruing during the twenty-four (24) month period immediately prior to the Event
of Default, except that if it becomes necessary to compute such rental before
the twenty-four (24) month period has occurred, then the computation shall be
on the basis of the average monthly amount during the shorter period. As used in
Sections 14.2(a)(i) (1) and (2) above, the "worth at the time of award" shall be
computed by allowing interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. As
used in Section 14.2(a)(i)(3) above, the "worth at the time of award" shall be
computed by discounting the amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve
Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).
(ii) Landlord may elect not to terminate Tenant's right to
possession of the Premises, in which event Landlord may continue to enforce all
of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to collect all
rent as it becomes due. Efforts by the Landlord to maintain, preserve or relet
the Premises, or the appointment of a receiver to protect the Landlord's
interests under this Lease, shall not constitute a termination of the Tenant's
right to possession of the Premises. In the event that Landlord elects to avail
itself of the remedy provided by this Section 14.2(a)(ii), Landlord shall not
unreasonably withhold its consent to an assignment or subletting of the Premises
subject to the reasonable standards for Landlord's consent as are contained in
this Lease.
(b) Landlord shall be under no obligation to observe or perform any
covenant of this Lease on its part to be observed or performed which accrues
after the date of any Event of Default by Tenant unless and until the Event of
Default is cured by Tenant, it being understood and agreed that the performance
by Landlord of its obligations under this Lease are expressly conditioned upon
Tenant's full and timely performance of its obligations under this Lease. The
various rights and remedies reserved to Landlord in this Lease or otherwise
shall be cumulative and, except as otherwise provided by California law,
Landlord may pursue any or all of its rights and remedies at the same time.
(c) No delay or omission of Landlord to exercise any right or remedy
shall be construed as a waiver of the right or remedy or of any breach or Event
of Default by Tenant. The acceptance by Landlord of rent shall not be a (i)
waiver of any preceding breach or Event of Default by Tenant of any provision of
this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rent
accepted, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of the preceding breach or Event of
Default at the time of acceptance of rent, or (ii) a waiver of Landlord's right
to exercise any remedy available to Landlord by virtue of the breach or Event of
Default. The acceptance of any payment from a debtor in possession, a trustee, a
receiver or any other person acting on behalf of Tenant or Tenant's estate shall
not waive or cure a breach or Event of Default under Section 14.1. No payment by
Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the rent required by this
Lease shall be deemed to be other than a partial payment on account of the
earliest due stipulated rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any
check or letter be deemed an accord and satisfaction and Landlord shall accept
the check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the
balance of the rent or pursue any other remedy available to it. No act or thing
done by Landlord or Landlord's agents during the Term shall be deemed an
acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept a
surrender shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Landlord. No employee
of Landlord or of Landlord's agents shall have any power to accept the keys to
the Premises prior to the termination of this Lease, and the delivery of the
keys to any employee shall not operate as a termination of this Lease or a
surrender of the Premises.
(d) Any agreement for free or abated rent or other charges, or for the
giving or paying by Landlord to or for Tenant of any cash or other bonus,
inducement or consideration for Tenant's entering into this Lease ("INDUCEMENT
PROVISIONS") shall be deemed conditioned upon Tenant's full and faithful
performance of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. Upon an Event
of Default under this Lease by Tenant, any such Inducement Provisions shall
automatically be deemed deleted from this Lease and of no further force or
effect and the amount of any rent reduction or abatement or other bonus or
consideration already given by Landlord or received by Tenant as an Inducement
shall be immediately due and payable by Tenant to Landlord, notwithstanding any
subsequent cure of said Event of Default by Tenant. The acceptance by Landlord
of rent or the cure of the Event of Default which initiated the operation of
this Section 14.1 shall not be deemed a waiver by Landlord of the provisions of
this Section 14.2(d).
SECTION 14.3. LATE PAYMENTS.
(a) Any payment due to Landlord under this Lease, including without
limitation Basic Rent, Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses or any other payment
due to Landlord under this Lease, that is not received by Landlord within five
(5) days following the date due shall bear interest at the maximum rate
permitted by law from the date due until fully paid. The payment of interest
shall not cure any breach or Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease. In
addition, Tenant acknowledges that the late payment by Tenant to Landlord of
Basic Rent and Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses will cause Landlord to incur
costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be
extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain. Those costs may include, but
are not
17
limited to, administrative, processing and accounting charges, and late charges
which may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any ground lease, mortgage or
trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any Basic Rent or Tenant's
Share of Operating Expenses due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or
Landlord's designee within five (5) days following the date due, then Tenant
shall pay to Landlord, in addition to the interest provided above, a late
charge, which the Tenant agrees is reasonable, in a sum equal to the greater of
five percent (5%) of the amount overdue or Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250.00)
for each delinquent payment. Acceptance of a late charge by Landlord shall not
constitute a waiver of Tenant's breach or Event of Default with respect to the
overdue amount, nor shall it prevent Landlord from exercising any of its other
rights and remedies.
(b) Following each second installment of Basic Rent and/or the payment
of Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses within any twelve (12) month period that
is not paid within five (5) days following the date due, Landlord shall have the
option (i) to require that beginning with the first payment of Basic Rent next
due, Basic Rent and the Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses shall no longer be
paid in monthly installments but shall be payable quarterly three (3) months in
advance and/or (ii) to require that Tenant increase the amount, if any, of the
Security Deposit by one hundred percent (100%). Should Tenant deliver to
Landlord, at any time during the Term, two (2) or more insufficient checks,.the
Landlord may require that all monies then and thereafter due from Tenant be paid
to Landlord by cashier's check. If any check for any payment to Landlord
hereunder is returned by the bank for any reason, such payment shall not be
deemed to have been received by Landlord and Tenant shall be responsible for any
applicable late charge, interest payment and the charge to Landlord by its bank
for such returned check. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to compel
Landlord to accept Basic Rent, Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses or any other
payment from Tenant if there exists an Event of Default unless such payment
fully cures any and all such Event of Default. Any acceptance of any such
payment shall not be deemed to waive any other right of Landlord under this
Lease. Any payment by Tenant to Landlord may be applied by Landlord, in its sole
and absolute discretion, in any order determined by Landlord to any amounts then
due to Landlord.
SECTION 14.4. RIGHT OF LANDLORD TO PERFORM. All covenants and agreements
to be performed by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed at Tenant's sole
cost and expense and without any abatement of rent or right of set-off. If
Tenant fails to pay any sum of money, other than rent payable to Landlord, or
fails to perform any other act on its part to be performed under this Lease, and
the failure continues beyond any applicable grace period set forth in Section
14.1, then in addition to any other available remedies, Landlord may, at its
election make the payment or perform the other act on Tenant's part and Tenant
hereby grants Landlord the right to enter onto the Premises in order to carry
out such performance. Landlord's election to make the payment or perform the act
on Tenant's part shall not give rise to any responsibility of Landlord to
continue making the same or similar payments or performing the same or similar
acts nor shall Landlord be responsible to Tenant for any damage caused to Tenant
as the result of such performance by Landlord. Tenant shall, promptly upon
demand by Landlord, reimburse Landlord for all sums paid by Landlord and all
necessary incidental costs, together with interest at the maximum rate permitted
by law from the date of the payment by Landlord.
SECTION 14.5. DEFAULT BY LANDLORD. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in
default in the performance of any obligation under this Lease, and Tenant shall
have no rights to take any action against Landlord, unless and until Landlord
has failed to perform the obligation within thirty (30) days after written
notice by Tenant to Landlord specifying in reasonable detail the nature and
extent of the failure; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord's
obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its
performance, then Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default if it commences
performance within the thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues
the cure to completion. In the event of Landlord's default under this Lease,
Tenant's sole remedies shall be to seek damages or specific performance from
Landlord, provided that any damages shall be limited to Tenant's actual
out-of-pocket expenses and shall in no event include any consequential damages,
lost profits or opportunity costs.
SECTION 14.6. EXPENSES AND LEGAL FEES. All sums reasonably incurred by
Landlord in connection with any Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease or
holding over of possession by Tenant after the expiration or earlier termination
of this Lease, or any action related to a filing for bankruptcy or
reorganization by Tenant, including without limitation all costs, expenses and
actual accountants, appraisers, attorneys and other professional fees, and any
collection agency or other collection charges, shall be due and payable to
Landlord on demand, and shall bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per
annum. Should either Landlord or Tenant bring any action in connection with this
Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover as a part of the action
its reasonable attorneys' fees, and all other costs. The prevailing party for
the purpose of this Section shall be determined by the trier of the facts.
SECTION 14.7. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. LANDLORD AND TENANT EACH ACKNOWLEDGES
THAT IT IS AWARE OF AND HAS HAD THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL OF ITS CHOICE WITH RESPECT
TO ITS RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY, AND EACH PARTY DOES HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND
KNOWINGLY WAIVE AND RELEASE ALL SUCH RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION,
PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY HERETO AGAINST THE OTHER
(AND/OR AGAINST ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR SUBSIDIARY OR
AFFILIATED ENTITIES) ON ANY MATTERS WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY
CONNECTED WITH THIS LEASE, TENANT'S USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES, AND/OR ANY
CLAIM OF INJURY OR DAMAGE. FURTHERMORE, THIS WAIVER AND RELEASE OF ALL RIGHTS TO
A JURY TRIAL IS DEEMED TO BE INDEPENDENT OF EACH AND EVERY OTHER PROVISION,
COVENANT, AND/OR CONDITION SET FORTH IN THIS LEASE.
SECTION 14.8. SATISFACTION OF JUDGMENT. The obligations of Landlord do not
constitute the personal obligations of the individual partners, trustees,
directors, officers or shareholders of Landlord or its constituent partners.
Should Tenant recover a money judgment against Landlord, such judgment shall be
satisfied only from the interest of Landlord in the Project and out of the rent
or other income from such property receivable
18
by Landlord or out of consideration received by Landlord from the sale or other
disposition of all or any part of Landlord's right, title or interest in the
Project and no action for any deficiency may be sought or obtained by Tenant.
SECTION 14.9. LIMITATION OF ACTIONS AGAINST LANDLORD. Any claim, demand or
right of any kind by Tenant which is based upon or arises in connection with
this Lease, including without limitation any arising under a tort or contract
cause of action, shall be barred unless Tenant commences an action thereon
within six (6) months after the date that the act, omission, event or default
upon which the claim, demand or right arises, has occurred.
ARTICLE XV. END OF TERM
SECTION 15.1. HOLDING OVER. This Lease shall terminate without further
notice upon the expiration of the Term, and any holding over by Tenant after the
expiration shall not constitute a renewal or extension of this Lease, or give
Tenant any rights under this Lease, except when in writing signed by both
parties. Any period of time following the Expiration Date or earlier termination
of this Lease required for Tenant to remove its property or to place the
Premises in the condition required pursuant to Section 15.3 (or for Landlord to
do so if Tenant fails to do so) shall be deemed a holding over by Tenant If
Tenant holds over for any period after the Expiration Date (or earlier
termination) of the Term without the prior written consent of Landlord, such
possession shall constitute a tenancy at sufferance only and an Event of Default
under this Lease; such holding over with the prior written consent of Landlord
shall constitute a month-to-month tenancy commencing on the first (1st) day
following the termination of this Lease and terminating thirty (30) days
following delivery of written notice of termination by either Landlord or Tenant
to the other. In either of such events, possession shall be subject to all of
the terms of this Lease, except that the monthly Basic Rent shall be two hundred
percent (200%) of the greater of (a) the Basic Rent for the month immediately
preceding the date of termination or (b) the men currently scheduled Basic Rent
for comparable space in the Project. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises
upon the expiration of this Lease despite demand to do so by Landlord, Tenant
shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss or liability, including
without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant relating to such
failure to surrender. Acceptance by Landlord of rent after the termination shall
not constitute a consent to a holdover or result in a renewal of this Lease. The
foregoing provisions of this Section are in addition to and do not affect
Landlord's right of re-entry or any other rights of Landlord under this Lease or
at law.,
SECTION 15.2. MERGER ON TERMINATION. The voluntary or other surrender of
this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual termination of this Lease, shall terminate any
or all existing subleases unless Landlord, at its option, elects in writing to
treat the surrender or termination as an assignment to it of any or all
subleases affecting the Premises,
SECTION 15.3. SURRENDER OF PREMISES; REMOVAL OF PROPERTY. Subject to the
provisions of 7.3 of this Lease, upon the Expiration Date or upon any earlier
termination of this Lease, Tenant shall quit and surrender possession of the
Premises to Landlord in as good order, condition and repair as when received or
as hereafter may be improved by Landlord or Tenant, reasonable wear and tear and
repairs which are Landlord's obligation excepted, and shall, without expense to
Landlord, remove or cause to be removed from the Premises all personal property
and debris, except for any items that Landlord may by written authorization
allow to remain. Tenant shall repair all damage to the Premises resulting from
the removal, which repair shall include the patching and filling of holes and
repair of structural damage, provided that Landlord may instead elect to repair
any structural damage at Tenant's expense. If Tenant shall fail to comply with
the provisions of this Section, Landlord may effect the removal and/or make any
repairs, and the cost to Landlord shall be additional rent payable by Tenant
upon demand. If Tenant fails to remove Tenant's personal property from the
Premises upon the expiration of the Term, Landlord may remove, store, dispose of
and/or retain such personal property, at Landlord's option, in accordance with
men applicable laws, all at the expense of Tenant If requested by Landlord,
Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an instrument in
writing releasing and quitclaiming to Landlord all right, title and interest of
Tenant in the Premises. It is understood that Tenant shall not remove the
cabling, wet lab furniture or the filing cabinets installed in the Premises at
any time during the Term, and that the cabling, wet lab furniture and the filing
cabinets shall remain the property of Landlord upon the Expiration Date or
earlier termination of this Lease.
ARTICLE XVI. PAYMENTS AND NOTICES
All sums payable by Tenant to Landlord shall be deemed to be rent under
this Lease and shall be paid, without deduction or offset, in lawful money of
the United States to Landlord at its address set forth in Item 12 of the Basic
Lease Provisions, or at any other place as Landlord may designate in writing.
Unless this Lease expressly provides otherwise, as for example in the payment of
Basic Rent and the Tenant's Share of Operating Costs pursuant to Sections 4.1
and 4.2, all payments shall be due and payable within five (5) days after
demand. All payments requiring proration shall be prorated on the basis of a
thirty (30) day month and a three hundred sixty (360) day year. Any notice,
election, demand, consent, approval or other communication to be given or other
document to be delivered by either party to the other may be delivered in person
or by courier or overnight delivery service to the other party, or may be
deposited in the United States mail, duly registered or certified, postage
prepaid, return receipt requested, and addressed to the other party at the
address set forth in Item 12 of the Basic Lease Provisions, or if to Tenant, at
that address or, from and after the Early Occupancy Date, at the Premises
(whether or not Tenant has departed from, abandoned or vacated the Premises).
Either party may, by written notice to the other, served in the manner provided
in this Article, designate a different address. If any notice or other document
is sent by mail, it shall be deemed served or delivered seventy-two (72) hours
after mailing. If more than one person or entity is named as Tenant under this
Lease, service of any notice upon any one of them shall be deemed as service
upon all of them
19
ARTICLE XVII. RULES AND REGULATIONS
Tenant agrees to observe faithfully and comply strictly with the Rules and
Regulations, attached as Exhibit E. and any reasonable and nondiscriminatory
amendments, modifications and/or additions as may be adopted and published by
written notice to tenants by Landlord for the safety, care, security, good
order, or cleanliness of the Premises, Building, Project and Common Areas.
Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any violation of the Rules and
Regulations or the breach of any covenant or condition in any lease by any other
tenant or such tenant's agents, employees, contractors, guests or invitees. One
or more waivers by Landlord of any breach of the Rules and Regulations by Tenant
or by any other tenant(s) shall not be a waiver of any subsequent breach of that
rule or any other. Tenant's failure to keep and observe the Rules and
Regulations shall constitute a breach of this Lease. In the case of any conflict
between the Rules and Regulations and this Lease, this Lease shall be
controlling.
ARTICLE XVIII. BROKER'S COMMISSION
The parties recognize as the broker(s) who negotiated this Lease the
firm(s), if any, whose name(s) is (are) stated in Item 10 of the Basic Lease
Provisions, and agree that Landlord shall be responsible for the payment of
brokerage commissions to those broker(s) unless otherwise provided in the Lease.
Tenant warrants that it has had no dealings with any other real estate broker or
agent in connection with the negotiation of this Lease, and Tenant agrees to
indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any cost, expense or liability
(including reasonable attorneys' fees) for any compensation, commissions or
charges claimed by any other real estate broker or agent employed or claiming to
represent or to have been employed by Tenant in connection with the negotiation
of this Lease. The foregoing agreement shall survive the termination of this
Lease. If Tenant fails to take possession of the Premises or if this Lease
otherwise terminates prior to the Expiration Date as the result of failure of
performance by Tenant, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant the
unamortized portion of any brokerage commission funded by Landlord in addition
to any other damages to which Landlord may be entitled.
ARTICLE XIX. TRANSFER OF LANDLORD'S INTEREST
In the event of any transfer of Landlord's interest in the Premises, the
transferor shall be automatically relieved of all further obligations on the
part of Landlord, and the transferor shall be relieved of any obligation to pay
any funds in which Tenant has an interest to the extent that such funds have
been turned over, subject to that interest, to the transferee and Tenant is
notified of the transfer as required by law. In no event shall any beneficiary
of a deed of trust to which this Lease is or may be subordinate, any landlord
under a so-called sale-leaseback, be responsible in connection with the Security
Deposit, unless the mortgagee or beneficiary under the deed of trust, the
landlord actually receives the Security Deposit. It is intended that the
covenants and obligations contained in this Lease on the part of Landlord shall,
subject to the foregoing, be binding on Landlord, its successors and assigns,
only during and in respect to their respective successive periods of ownership.
ARTICLE XX. INTERPRETATION
SECTION 20.1. GENDER AND NUMBER. Whenever the context of this Lease
requires, the words "LANDLORD" and "TENANT" shall include the plural as well as
the singular, and words used in neuter, masculine or feminine genders shall
include the others.
SECTION 20.2. HEADINGS. The captions and headings of the articles and
sections of this Lease are for convenience only, are not a part of this Lease
and shall have no effect upon its construction or interpretation.
SECTION 20.3. JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY. If more than one person or
entity is named as Tenant, the obligations imposed upon each shall be joint and
several and the act of or notice from, or notice or refund to, or the signature
of, any one or more of them shall be binding on all of them with respect to the
tenancy of this Lease, including, but not limited to, any renewal, extension,
termination or modification of this Lease.
SECTION 20.4, SUCCESSORS. Subject to Articles IX and XIX, all rights and
liabilities given to or imposed upon Landlord and Tenant shall extend to and
bind their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.
Nothing contained in this Section is intended, or shall be construed, to grant
to any person other than Landlord and Tenant and their successors and assigns
any rights or remedies under this Lease.
SECTION 20.5. TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence with respect to the
performance of every provision of this Lease.
SECTION 20.6. CONTROLLING LAW/VENUE. This Lease shall be governed by and
interpreted in accordance with the laws-of the State of California. Any
litigation commenced concerning any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any
way connected to this Lease shall be initiated in the Superior Court of the
county in which the Project is located.
SECTION 20.7. SEVERABILITY. If any term or provision of this Lease, the
deletion of which would not adversely affect the receipt of any material benefit
by either party or the deletion of which is consented to by the party adversely
affected, shall be held invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of

ARTICLE XXII. MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 22.1. NONDISCLOSURE OF LEASE TERMS. Tenant acknowledges and agrees
that the terms of this Lease are confidential and constitute proprietary
information of Landlord. Disclosure of the terms
21
could adversely affect the ability of Landlord to negotiate other leases and
impair Landlord's relationship with other tenants. Accordingly, Tenant agrees
that it, and its partners, officers, directors, employees and attorneys, shall
not intentionally and voluntarily disclose, by public filings or otherwise, the
terms and conditions of this Lease ("Confidential Information") to any third
party, either directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of
Landlord, which consent may be given or withheld in Landlord's sole and absolute
discretion. The foregoing restriction shall not apply if either: (i) Tenant is
required to disclose the Confidential Information in response to a subpoena or
other regulatory, administrative or court order, (ii) independent legal counsel
to Tenant delivers a written opinion to Landlord that Tenant is required to
disclose the Confidential Information to, or file a copy of this Lease with, any
governmental agency or any stock exchange; provided however, that in such event,
Tenant shall, before making any such disclosure (A) provide Landlord with prompt
written notice of such required disclosure, (B) at Tenant's sole cost, take all
reasonable legally available steps to resist or narrow such requirement,
including without limitation preparing and filing a request for confidential
treatment of the Confidential Information and (C) if disclosure of the
Confidential Information is required by subpoena or other regulatory,
administrative or court order, Tenant shall provide Landlord with as much
advance notice of the possibility of such disclosure as practical so that
Landlord may attempt to stop such disclosure or obtain an order concerning such
disclosure. The form and content of a request by Tenant for confidential
treatment of the Confidential Information shall be provided to Landlord at least
five (5) business days before its submission to the applicable governmental
agency or stock exchange and is subject to the prior written approval of
Landlord. In addition, Tenant may disclose the terms of this Lease to
prospective assignees of this Lease and prospective subtenants under this Lease
with whom Tenant is actively negotiating such an assignment, or sublease.

Landlord, the obligations, covenants and performance of the Tenant as herein
provided shall be guaranteed in writing by the Guarantor(s) listed in Item 7 of
the Basic Lease Provisions ("GUARANTOR"), if any, on a form of guaranty provided
by Landlord ("GUARANTY"). Any default by a Guarantor under the Guaranty shall be
deemed to be an Event of Default under the terms of this Lease. In addition, any
filing by or against a Guarantor of a petition to have such Guarantor adjudged a
Chapter 7 debtor under the Bankruptcy Code or to have debts discharged or a
petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy
(unless, in the case of a petition filed against such Guarantor, the same is
dismissed within thirty (30) days), a Guarantor's convening of a meeting of its
creditors for the purpose of effecting a moratorium upon or composition of its
debts or the failure of a Guarantor to pay its material obligations to creditors
as and when they become due and payable, other than as a result of a good faith
dispute by such Guarantor, shall be deemed to be an Event of Default by Tenant.
SECTION 22.3. CHANGES REQUESTED BY LENDER. If, in connection with
obtaining financing for the Project, the lender shall request reasonable
modifications in this Lease as a condition to the financing, Tenant will not
unreasonably withhold or delay its consent, provided that the modifications do
not materially increase the obligations of Tenant or materially and adversely
affect the leasehold interest created by this Lease.
SECTION 22.4. MORTGAGEE PROTECTION. No act or failure to act on the part
of Landlord which would otherwise entitle Tenant to be relieved of its
obligations hereunder shall result in such a release or termination unless (a)
Tenant has given notice by registered or certified mail to any beneficiary of a
deed of trust or mortgage covering the Building whose address has been furnished
to Tenant and (b) such beneficiary is afforded a reasonable opportunity to cure
the default by Landlord (which in no event shall be less than sixty (60) days),
including, if necessary to effect the cure, time to obtain possession of the
Building by power of sale or judicial foreclosure provided that such foreclosure
remedy is diligently pursued. Tenant agrees that each beneficiary of a deed of
trust or mortgage covering the Building is an express third party beneficiary
hereof, Tenant shall have no right or claim for the collection of any deposit
from such beneficiary or from any purchaser at a foreclosure sale unless such,
beneficiary or purchaser shall have actually received and not refunded the
deposit, and Tenant shall comply with any written directions by any beneficiary
to pay rent due hereunder directly to such beneficiary without determining
whether a default exists under such beneficiary's deed of trust.
SECTION 22.5. COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS. All of the provisions of this
Lease shall be construed to be conditions as well as covenants as though the
words specifically expressing or imparting covenants and conditions were used in
each separate provision.
22
SECTION 22.6. SECURITY MEASURES. Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord
shall have no obligation whatsoever to provide guard service or other security
measures for the benefit of the Premises or the Project. Tenant assumes all
responsibility for the protection of Tenant, its employees, agents, invitees and
property from acts of third parties. Nothing herein contained shall prevent
Landlord, at its sole option, from providing security protection for the Project
or any part thereof, in which event the cost thereof shall be included within
the definition of Project Costs.

EXHIBIT C
LANDLORD'S DISCLOSURES
SPECTRUM
The capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Exhibit shall
have the same definitions as set forth in the Lease. The provisions of this
Exhibit shall supersede any inconsistent or conflicting provisions of the Lease.
1. Landlord has been informed that the El Toro Marine Corps Air Station
(MCAS) has been listed as a Federal Superfund site as a result of chemical
releases occurring over many years of occupancy. Various chemicals including jet
fuel, motor oil and solvents have been discharged in several areas throughout
the MCAS site. A regional study conducted by the Orange County Water District
has estimated that ground waters beneath more than 2,900 acres have been
impacted by Trichloroethlene (TCE), an industrial solvent. There is a potential
that this substance may have migrated into the ground water underlying the
Premises. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Santa Xxx Region Quality
Control Board, and the Orange County Health Care Agency are overseeing the
investigation/cleanup of this contamination. To the Landlord's current actual
knowledge, the ground water in this area is used for irrigation purposes only,
and there is no practical impediment to the use or occupancy of the Premises due
to the El Toro discharges.
EXHIBIT D

($10,000.00) per occurrence must be approved in writing by Landlord prior to the
issuance of such policy. Tenant shall be solely responsible for the payment of
