2. Premises
and Common Areas.
2.1 Letting. Landlord hereby
leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the Premises upon all of
the terms, covenants, and conditions, set forth in this Lease. Any
statement of square footage set forth in this Lease or that may have been used
in calculating Base Rent and/or Operating Expenses is an approximation which
Landlord and Tenant agree is reasonable, and the Base Rent and Tenant’s Share
based thereon is not subject to revision whether or not the actual square
footage is more or less. Tenant accepts the Premises in its present
“As-Is” condition, state of repair and operating order, except as may be set
forth in Exhibit
F attached hereto and Landlord shall deliver the Premises to Tenant in
good condition and repair, and with the roof and all “Building Systems” (defined
below) in good working order and condition. Tenant shall have a
review period of one hundred twenty (120) days following the Commencement Date
to confirm such condition of the Building Systems and roof. For the
purposes hereof, “Building Systems” shall mean the HVAC (as defined in Section
4.2(a)(x)), and the electrical, plumbing and other mechanical systems (including
fire/life safety systems) which serve the Building in whole or in
part. During the one hundred twenty (120) day period immediately
following the Commencement Date, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause such repairs to be made to the Building Systems and roof as are
necessary so that such systems and roof are in good working order and condition
at no additional cost or expense to Tenant. If Tenant fails to timely deliver to
Landlord any such written notice of the aforementioned defects or deficiencies
within said one hundred twenty (120) day period,
3
Landlord
shall have no obligation to perform any such work thereafter, except as
otherwise specifically provided in this Lease.
2.2 Common
Areas - Definition. “Common Areas”
are all areas and facilities outside the Premises and within the exterior
boundary line of the Business Center and interior utility raceways within the
Premises that are provided and designated by the Landlord from time to time for
the general nonexclusive use of Landlord, Tenant, and other tenants of the
Business Center and their respective employees, suppliers, shippers, tenants,
contractors, and invitees.
2.3 Common
Areas - Tenant’s Rights. Landlord hereby
grants to Tenant, for the benefit of Tenant and its employees, suppliers,
shippers, contractors, customers, and invitees, during the term of this Lease,
the nonexclusive right to use, in common with others entitled to such use, the
Common Areas as they exist from time to time, subject to any rights, powers, and
privileges reserved by Landlord under the terms hereof or under the terms of any
rules and regulations or covenants, conditions, and restrictions governing the
use of the Business Center.
2.4 Common
Areas - Rules and Regulations. Landlord shall
have the exclusive control and management of the Common Areas and shall have the
right, from time to time, to establish, modify, amend, and enforce reasonable
Rules and Regulations with respect thereto in accordance with Paragraph
16.19.
2.5 Common
Area Changes. Landlord shall
have the right, in Landlord’s sole discretion, from time to time:
(a) To
make changes to the Common Areas, including, without limitation, changes in the
locations, size, shape, and number of driveways, entrances, parking spaces,
parking areas, loading and unloading areas, ingress, egress, direction of
traffic, landscaped areas, walkways, and utility raceways;
(b) To
close temporarily any of the Common Areas for maintenance purposes so long as
reasonable access to the Premises remains available and with advance written
notice to Tenant as early as practicable;
(c) To
designate other land outside the boundaries of the Business Center to be a part
of the Common Areas;
(d) To
add additional buildings and improvements to the Common Areas;
(e) To
use the Common Areas while engaged in making additional improvements, repairs,
or alterations to the Business Center, or any portion thereof; and
(f) To
do and perform such other acts and make such other changes in, to, or with
respect to the Common Areas and Business Center as Landlord may, in the exercise
of sound business judgment, deem to be appropriate; provided, when exercising
its rights under this Section 2.5, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts not to
unreasonably, materially and adversely interfere with the normal conduct of
Tenant’s business within the Premises.
4
2.6 Parking. At no additional cost
during the Term, Tenant may use one hundred twenty-six (126) of the undesignated
vehicle parking spaces, on an unreserved and unassigned basis, on those portions
of the Common Areas designated by Landlord for such parking. Landlord
shall exercise reasonable efforts to ensure that such spaces are available to
Tenant for its use, but Landlord shall not be required to enforce Tenant’s right
to use the same. Tenant shall not use more parking spaces than such
number. Such parking spaces shall be used only for parking by
vehicles no larger than full sized passenger automobiles, pick-up trucks or
Tenant’s trucks, and in no event shall Tenant or any of Tenant’s Representatives
park or permit any parking of vehicles overnight, provided, however, third party
trucks that are being loaded, including trailer trucks, may be parked overnight,
employee vehicles may be parked overnight during short periods of time when, for
example, they are traveling on Tenant business and up to four (4) Tenant
vehicles used for inter-building transfer purposes may be permanently parked
overnight so long as the same is in conformance with Applicable Requirements and
any recorded matters. Tenant shall not permit or allow any vehicles
that belong to or are controlled by Tenant or Tenant’s employees, suppliers,
shippers, customers or invitees to be loaded, unloaded or parked in areas other
than those designated by Landlord for such activities. If Tenant permits
or allows any of the prohibited activities described herein, then Landlord shall
have the right, without notice, in addition to such other rights and remedies
that it may have, to remove or tow away the vehicle involved and charge the cost
to Tenant, which cost shall be immediately payable as additional rent upon
demand by Landlord. Landlord may change the number of parking spaces
and configuration of the parking areas at any time, and may assign reserved
parking spaces to any tenant, in Landlord’s sole discretion.
3. Term.
3.1 Term. The Commencement
Date, Expiration Date, and Term of this Lease are as specified in Paragraph
1.3.
3.2 Delay in

Landlord cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant by the Commencement

defined in Exhibit

provided herein, nor shall such failure affect the validity of this Lease or the
obligations of Tenant hereunder. In such case, Tenant shall not,
except as otherwise provided herein, be obligated to pay Rent until the dates
set forth in Paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 below. In addition, Tenant shall
not be obligated to perform any other obligation of Tenant under the terms of
this Lease until Tenant commences to access the Premises pursuant to the terms
of Exhibit
F attached hereto. Notwithstanding the above, if Landlord has

provided, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay Base Rent for the first six (6)
months of the Term. Base Rent and Additional Rent for any period

Rent are collectively referred to as “Rent.” All monetary obligations
of Tenant to Landlord under the terms of this Lease are deemed to be
Rent.
4.2 Operating
Expenses. Tenant shall pay
to Landlord on the first day of each month during the Term hereof, in addition
to the Base Rent as and when set forth above, Tenant’s Share of all Operating
Expenses in accordance with the following provisions.
(a) “Operating
Expenses” are, without duplication, all costs incurred by Landlord relating to
the ownership and/or operation of the Business Center, Building, and Premises
including, but not limited to, the following:
(i) Expenses
relating to the ownership, management, maintenance, repair, replacement and/or
operation of the Common Areas, including, without limitation, parking areas,
loading and unloading areas, trash areas, roadways, sidewalks, walkways,

disposal, snow removal, janitorial, security and the management and
administration of any and all portions of the Business Center, including,

accounting costs and all fees, licenses and permits related to the ownership,
operation and management of the Business Center. As of the date of this Lease,
the current property management fee is equal to three percent (3%) of the gross
Rent payable under this Lease. Landlord agrees that any such fee
shall be commercially reasonable based upon other comparable
properties.
(iv) Real
Property Taxes provided that if the Real Property Tax in question is an
assessment, if Landlord elected to pay it in installments only the annual
amortized amount shall be included as an Operating Expense for the year in
question and if Landlord did not so elect then Landlord shall be deemed to have
elected to pay it over the maximum period electable and only the deemed annual
payment amount shall be included in the tax year in question.
(v) Premiums
and all applicable deductibles actually paid by Landlord for the insurance
policies maintained by Landlord under paragraph 8 below, provided, however, all
deductibles actually paid by Landlord shall be amortized over the greater of the
remaining months in the Term or eighty four (84) months, and Tenant shall pay
Tenant’s Share of such monthly amortized amount as follows: the monthly
amortization shall be the sum of (a) the quotient obtained by dividing the
amount of the deductible by the greater of the remaining months in the Term or
eighty four (84) months, plus (b) interest on the amortized amount at a rate
equal to the lesser of ten percent (10%) per annum or the maximum annual
interest rate permitted by law .
(vi) Environmental
monitoring and insurance programs.
(vii) Monthly
amortization of capital improvements to any portion of the Business
Center. The monthly amortization of any such capital improvement
shall be the sum of the (a) quotient obtained by dividing the cost of the
capital improvement by Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the number of months of
useful life of such improvement plus (b) an amount equal to the
unamortized cost of the capital improvement times 1/12 of the lesser of 12%
or the maximum annual interest rate permitted by law. Capital
improvements and their amortization may be included as Operating Expenses only
pursuant to this subsection (vii).
(viii) Maintenance
of the Business Center, including, but not limited to, painting, caulking, and
repair and replacement of Building components, including, but not limited to,

Share of Operating Expenses that are not specifically attributed to the Premises
or Building (“Common Area Operating Expenses”) shall be that percentage shown in
Paragraph 1.5(a). Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses that are
attributable to the Building (“Building Operating Expenses”) shall be that
percentage shown in Paragraph 1.5(b). Landlord, in its sole
reasonable discretion, shall determine which Operating Expenses are Common Area
Operating Expenses, Building Operating Expenses, or expenses to be entirely
borne by Tenant.
(c) The
inclusion of the improvements, facilities, and services set forth in
Subparagraph 4.2(a) shall not impose any obligation upon Landlord either to have
said improvements or facilities or to provide those services.
(d) Tenant
shall pay monthly in advance, on the same day that the Base Rent is due,
Tenant’s Share of the estimated Operating Expenses set forth in Paragraph
1.6. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant within 90 days after the
expiration of each calendar year a reasonably detailed statement showing
Tenant’s Share of the actual Operating Expenses incurred during the preceding
year. If Tenant’s estimated payments under this Paragraph 4(d) during
the preceding year exceed Tenant’s Share as indicated on said statement, Tenant
shall be credited the amount of such overpayment against Tenant’s Share of
expenses next becoming due, provided, however, if the Term has expired or will
expire before Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses could be fully credited,
Landlord shall promptly pay such overage to Tenant provided Tenant is not then
in Default. If Tenant’s estimated payments under this Paragraph
4.2(d) during said preceding year were less than Tenant’s Share as indicated on
said statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of the deficiency within
10 days after delivery by Landlord to Tenant of said statement. At
any time Landlord may reasonably adjust the amount of the estimated Tenant’s
Share of expenses to reflect Landlord’s estimate of such expenses for the year;
provided, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Tenant
with thirty (30) days prior written notice of such adjustment.
(e) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, for purposes of this Lease, the term

reimbursed by any other tenant of the Business Center; (vi) costs of repairs or

deductibles) and/or costs of repair or other work necessitated by the exercise
of the right of eminent domain to the extent insurance proceeds or a
condemnation award, as applicable, is actually received by
8
Landlord for such purposes; provided, such costs of repairs or other work shall be paid by the parties in accordance with the provisions of Sections 7, 8 and 9 below; (vii) other than any interest charges as expressly provided for in this Lease, any interest or payments on any financing for any portion of the Business Center, interest and penalties incurred as a result of Landlord’s late payment of any invoice (provided that Tenant pays Tenant’s Share of expenses to Landlord when due as set forth herein), and any bad debt loss, rent loss or reserves for same; (viii) costs incurred in connection with investigation of, remediation of and removal of Hazardous Substances to the extent not caused to be present by Tenant or any Tenant Entity; and (ix) any payments under a ground lease or master lease.
(f) After
delivery to Landlord of at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, Tenant,
at its sole cost and expense through any accountant designated by it, shall have
the right to examine and/or audit the books and records evidencing such
Operating Expenses for the previous one (1) calendar year, during Landlord’s
reasonable business hours but not more frequently than once during any calendar
year. Any such accounting firm designated by Tenant may not be
compensated on a contingency fee basis. The results of any such audit
(and any negotiations between the parties related thereto) shall be maintained
strictly confidential by Tenant, its lawyers and its accounting firm and shall
not be disclosed, published or otherwise disseminated to any other party other
than to Landlord and its authorized agents, except as otherwise required by
Applicable Requirements or court order. Landlord and Tenant each
shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in such negotiations
and to promptly resolve any discrepancies between Landlord and Tenant in the
accounting of such expenses. If through such audit it is determined
that there is a discrepancy of more than five percent (5%) in the total of
actual Operating Expenses, then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the
reasonable accounting costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in performing such
audit, including Tenant’s in-house or outside auditors or accountants, such
costs and expenses not to exceed $5,000.00. Landlord and Tenant shall
pay or reimburse, within thirty (30) days following completion of such audit,
the other for any underpayment or overpayment of Operating
Expenses.
5. Security
Deposit. Within thirty (30) days from full execution of this
Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the Security Deposit, which shall
serve as security for Tenant’s faithful performance of Tenant’s obligations
under this Lease. If Tenant fails to pay Base Rent or Additional Rent
or otherwise defaults under this Lease (as defined in Paragraph 13.1), Landlord
may use the Security Deposit for the payment of any amount due Landlord or to
reimburse or compensate Landlord for any liability, cost, expense, loss, or
damage (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) which Landlord may suffer or incur
by reason thereof. Tenant shall on demand pay Landlord the amount so
used or applied so as to restore the Security Deposit to its original
amount. Landlord shall not be required to keep all or any part of the
Security Deposit separate from its general accounts. Landlord shall,
at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term hereof and after Tenant has
vacated the Premises, return to Tenant that portion of the Security Deposit not
used or applied by Landlord. No part of the Security Deposit shall be
considered to be held in trust, to bear interest, or to be prepayment for any
monies to be paid by Tenant under this Lease.

and occupy the Premises only for the Permitted Use set forth in Paragraph
1.8. Tenant shall not commit any nuisance, permit the emission of any
objectionable noise or odor, suffer any waste, make any use of the Premises
which is contrary to any law or ordinance, or which will invalidate or increase
the premiums for any of Landlord’s insurance. Tenant shall not
service, maintain, or repair vehicles on the Premises, Building, or Common
Areas. Tenant shall not store foods, pallets, drums, or any other
materials outside the Premises. Tenant’s use is subject to, and at

without the consent of Tenant, such easements, rights and dedications that
Landlord deems reasonably necessary, and to cause the recordation of parcel or
subdivision maps and/or restrictions, so long as such easements, rights,
dedications, maps and restrictions, as applicable, do not materially and
adversely interfere with Tenant’s operations in the Premises. Tenant
agrees to sign any documents reasonably requested by Landlord to effectuate any
such easements, rights, dedications, maps or restrictions. Tenant
shall not initiate, submit an application for, or otherwise request, any land
use approvals or entitlements with respect to the Premises or any other portion
of the Business Center, including without limitation, any variance, conditional
use permit or rezoning, without first obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent

discretion.
6.2 Hazardous
Substances.
(a) Reportable Uses Require
Consent. The term, “Hazardous Substance,” as used in this
Lease, shall mean any product, substance, chemical, material, or waste whose
presence, nature, quantity, and/or intensity of existence, use, manufacture,
disposal, transportation, spill, release, or effect, either by itself or in
combination with other materials expected to be on the Premises, is
either: (i) potentially injurious to the public health, safety or
welfare, the environment, or the Premises; (ii) regulated or monitored by any
governmental authority; or (iii) a basis for potential liability of Landlord to
any governmental agency or third party under any applicable statute or common
law theory. Hazardous Substance shall include, but not be limited to,
hydrocarbons, petroleum, gasoline, crude oil, or any products or by-products
thereof. Tenant shall not engage in any activity in or about the
Premises which constitutes a Reportable Use (as hereinafter defined) of
Hazardous Substances without the express prior written consent of Landlord and
compliance in a timely manner (at Tenant’s sole cost and expense) with all
Applicable Requirements (as defined in Paragraph 6.3). “Reportable
Use” shall mean (i) Tenant’s or any Tenant Entity’s (as defined below)
installation or use of any above or below ground storage tank, (ii) Tenant’s
generation, possession, storage, use, transportation, or disposal of a Hazardous

notice, registration, or business plan is required to be filed with, any
governmental authority, and (iii) the presence in, on, or about the Premises of
a Hazardous Substance caused to be present at the Premises by Tenant or any
Tenant Entity with respect to which any Applicable Requirements require that a
notice be given to persons entering or occupying the Premises or neighboring
properties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may, without
Landlord’s prior consent, but upon notice to Landlord and in compliance with all
Applicable Requirements, use any ordinary and customary materials reasonably
required to be
10
used by
Tenant in the normal course of the Permitted Use, so long as such use is not a
Reportable Use and does not expose the Premises or neighboring properties to any
meaningful risk of contamination or damage, or expose Landlord to any liability
therefor. In addition, Landlord may (but without any obligation to do
so) condition its consent to any Reportable Use of any Hazardous Substance by
Tenant upon Tenant’s giving Landlord such additional assurances as Landlord, in
its reasonable discretion, deems necessary to protect itself, the public, the
Premises, and the environment against damage, contamination, injury, and/or
liability therefor, including but not limited to the installation (and, at
Landlord’s option, removal on or before Lease expiration or earlier termination)
of reasonably necessary protective modifications to the Premises (such as
concrete encasements) and/or the deposit of an additional Security
Deposit.
(b) Duty to Inform
Landlord. If Tenant knows, or has reasonable cause to believe,
that a Hazardous Substance is located in, under, or about the Premises or the
Building, Tenant shall immediately give Landlord written notice thereof,
together with a copy of any statement, report, notice, registration,
application, permit, business plan, license, claim, action, or proceeding given
to, or received from, any governmental authority or private party concerning the
presence, spill, release, discharge of, or exposure to such Hazardous
Substance. Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Substance
to be spilled or released in, on, under, or about the Premises (including,
without limitation, through the plumbing or sanitary sewer system).
(c) Indemnification. Tenant
shall indemnify, protect, defend, and hold Landlord, Landlord’s affiliates,
Lenders, and the officers, directors, shareholders, partners, employees,

against any and all damages, liabilities, judgments, costs, claims, liens,
expenses, penalties, loss of permits, and reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’
fees arising out of or involving any Hazardous Substance brought onto the
Premises or permitted to enter the Premises by or for Tenant or by any of
Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors, servants, visitors, suppliers, or
invitees (such employees, agents, contractors, servants, visitors, suppliers,
and invitees as herein collectively referred to as “Tenant Entities” or “Tenant
Entity”). Tenant’s obligations under this Paragraph 6.2(c) shall
include, but not be limited to, the effects of any contamination or injury to
person, property, or the environment created or suffered by Tenant, and the cost
of investigation (including consultants’ and reasonable attorneys’ fees and
testing), removal, remediation, restoration and/or abatement thereof, or of any
contamination therein involved that arose out of or involved any Hazardous
Substances brought onto the Premises or permitted to enter the Premises by or
for Tenant or any Tenant Entity. Tenant’s obligations under this
Paragraph 6.2(c) shall survive the Expiration Date or earlier termination of
this Lease. Landlord shall provide Tenant with prompt, detailed written
notice of each claim against Landlord for which Landlord will seek indemnity
from Tenant and shall fully cooperate with Tenant in the defense and/or
settlement of each such claim if requested by Tenant.
(d) Tenant’s
Exculpation. Tenant shall
neither be liable for nor otherwise obligated to Landlord under any provision of
this Lease with respect to (i) any claim, remediation obligation, investigation
obligation, liability, cause of action, attorney’s fees, consultants’ cost,
expense or damage resulting from any Hazardous Substance present in, on or about
the Premises, the Building or the Business Center to the extent neither caused
nor otherwise permitted, directly
11
or
indirectly, by Tenant or the Tenant Entities; or (ii) the removal,
investigation, monitoring or remediation of any Hazardous Substance present in,
on or about the Premises, the Building or the Business Center caused by any
source, including third parties other than Tenant and the Tenant Entities, as a
result of or in connection with the acts or omissions of persons other than
Tenant or the Tenant Entities; provided, however, Tenant shall be fully liable
for and otherwise obligated to Landlord under the provisions of this Lease for
all liabilities, costs, damages, penalties, claims, judgments, expenses
(including without limitation, attorneys’ and experts’ fees and costs) and
losses to the extent (a) Tenant or any of the Tenant Entities contributes to the
presence of such Hazardous Substances or Tenant and/or any of the Tenant
Entities exacerbates the conditions caused by such Hazardous Substances, or (b)
Tenant and/or the Tenant Entities allows or permits persons over which Tenant or
any of the Tenant Entities has control and/or for which Tenant or any of the
Tenant Entities are legally responsible for, to cause such Hazardous Substances

Building or the Business Center, or does not take all reasonably appropriate
actions to prevent such persons over which Tenant or any of the Tenant Entities

Center.

information evidencing Tenant’s compliance with any Applicable Requirements, and
shall immediately upon receipt notify Landlord in writing (with copies of any
documents involved) of any threatened or actual claim, notice, citation,
warning, complaint, or report pertaining to or involving failure by Tenant or
the Premises to comply with any Applicable
Requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have no
obligation to perform any alterations or modifications to the structure of the
Building or the Building Systems required by any Applicable Requirement except
to the extent any such alteration or modification is necessitated by any
Alteration installed by or for Tenant or any Tenant Entity, or by the particular
use of the Premises, the Building or the Business Center by Tenant or any Tenant
Entity.
6.4 Inspection;
Compliance with Law. In addition to
Landlord’s environmental monitoring and insurance program, the cost of which is
included in Operating Expenses, Landlord and the holders of any mortgages, deeds
of trust, or ground leases on the Premises (“Lenders”) shall have the right to

extent arising from (1) any of the Existing Hazardous Substances and/or (2) the
removal, investigation, monitoring or remediation of any of the Existing

Lease.
7. Maintenance,
Repairs, Trade Fixtures and Alterations.
7.1 Tenant’s
Obligations. Subject to the
provisions of Paragraph 7.2 (Landlord’s Obligations), Paragraph 9 (Damage or
Destruction), and Paragraph 14 (Condemnation), Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole
cost and expense and at all times, keep the Premises and every part thereof in
good order, condition, and repair (whether or not such portion of the Premises
requiring repair, or the means of repairing the same, are reasonably or readily
accessible to Tenant and whether or
13
not the
need for such repairs occurs as a result of Tenant’s use, any prior use, the
elements, or the age of such portion of the Premises) including, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, all equipment or facilities
specifically serving the Premises, such as plumbing, heating, ventilating, air
conditioning, electrical, lighting facilities, boilers, fired or unfired
pressure vessels, fire hose connectors if within the Premises, fixtures,
interior walls, interior surfaces of exterior walls, ceilings, floors, windows,
doors, plate glass, and skylights, but excluding any items which are the
responsibility of Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 7.2 below. Tenant’s
obligations shall include restorations, replacements, or renewals when necessary
to keep the Premises and all improvements thereon or a part thereof in good
order, condition, and state of repair. Tenant shall also be solely responsible
for the cost of all repairs and replacements caused by the negligent acts or
omissions or intentional misconduct by Tenant or Tenant’s employees,
contractors, agents, guests or invitees. If Tenant refuses or
neglects to perform its obligations under this paragraph to the reasonable
satisfaction of Landlord, Landlord may, but without obligation to do so, at any
time perform the same without Landlord having any liability to Tenant for any
loss or damage that may accrue to Tenant’s Property or to Tenant’s business by
reason thereof except to the extent attributable to Landlord's negligence or
willful misconduct. If Landlord performs any such obligations, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, Landlord’s costs and expenses
incurred therefor.
7.2 Landlord’s
Obligations. Subject to the
provisions of Paragraph 6 (Use), Paragraph 7.1 (Tenant’s Obligations), Paragraph
9 (Damage or Destruction), and Paragraph 14 (Condemnation), Landlord, at its
expense and not subject to the reimbursement requirements of Paragraph 4.2,
shall maintain and repair the roof structure, foundations, the structure of the
exterior walls of the Building and the other structural components of the
Building. Landlord, subject to reimbursement pursuant to Paragraph
4.2, shall maintain and repair the Building roof membrane, Common Areas, and
utility systems within the Business Center which are outside of the
Premises. In addition, Landlord may, in Landlord’s sole discretion,
and at Tenant’s sole cost, elect to contract for all or any portion of the
maintenance, repair and/or replacement of the HVAC systems serving the
Premises.
7.3 Alterations. Tenant shall not
install any signs, fixtures, improvements, nor make or permit any other
alterations or additions (individually, an “Alteration”, and collectively, the
“Alterations”) to the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord,
except for Alterations that cumulatively cost less than Twenty Five Thousand
Dollars ($25,000.00) per calendar year and which do not affect the Building
Systems or the structural integrity or structural components of the Premises or
the Building. In all events, Tenant shall deliver at least ten (10) days prior
notice to Landlord, from the date Tenant intends to commence construction,
sufficient to enable Landlord to post a Notice of Non-Responsibility and Tenant
shall obtain all permits or other governmental approvals prior to commencing any
of such work and deliver a copy of same to Landlord. All Alterations
shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense in accordance with plans and
specifications which have been previously submitted to and approved in writing
by Landlord, and shall be installed by a licensed, insured, and bonded
contractor (reasonably approved by Landlord) in compliance with all applicable
Laws (including, but not limited to, the ADA), and all recorded matters and
rules and regulations of the Business Center. In addition, all work
with respect to any Alterations must be done in a good and workmanlike
manner. Landlord’s approval of any plans, specifications or working
drawings for Tenant’s Alterations shall not create nor impose any responsibility
or liability on the part of Landlord for
14
their
completeness, design sufficiency, or compliance with any laws, ordinances, rules
and regulations of governmental agencies or authorities. In
performing the work of any such Alterations, Tenant shall have the work
performed in such a manner as not to obstruct access to the Business Center, or
the Common Areas for any other tenant of the Business Center, and as not to
obstruct the business of Landlord or other tenants in the Business Center, or
interfere with the labor force working in the Business Center. As
Additional Rent hereunder, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, within ten (10) days
after demand, for actual legal, engineering, architectural, planning and other
expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with Tenant’s Alterations, plus
Tenant shall pay to Landlord a fee equal to three and one-half percent (3-1/2 %)
of the total cost of the Alterations. If Tenant makes any
Alterations, Tenant agrees to carry “Builder’s All Risk” insurance, in a
commercially reasonable amount reasonably approved by Landlord and such other
insurance as Landlord may reasonably require, it being understood and agreed
that all of such Alterations shall be insured by Tenant in accordance with the
terms of this Lease immediately upon completion thereof. Tenant shall
keep the Premises and the property on which the Premises are situated free from
any liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished or obligations
incurred by or on behalf of Tenant. Tenant shall, prior to
construction of any and all Alterations, cause its contractor(s) and/or major
subcontractor(s) to provide insurance as reasonably required by Landlord, and
Tenant shall provide such assurances to Landlord, including without limitation,
waivers of lien and surety company performance bonds in the event the cost of
the Alteration exceeds $100,000.00 in order to assure payment of the costs
thereof to protect Landlord and the Business Center from and against any loss
from any mechanic’s, materialmen’s or other liens.
7.4 Surrender/Restoration. Tenant shall
surrender the Premises by the end of the last day of the Lease term or any
earlier termination date, clean and free of debris and in good operating order,
condition, and state of repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted and in
accordance with the Move Out Standards set forth in Exhibit
D to this Lease. Without limiting the generality of the above,
Tenant shall remove all tenant improvements designated by Landlord in Landlord’s
sole discretion, personal property, trade fixtures, and floor bolts, patch all
floors, and cause all lights to be in good operating condition.
8. Insurance;

8.1 Payment
of Premiums and Deductibles. The cost of the
premiums and, to the extent set forth in Paragraph 4.2 hereof, Tenant’s Share of

Paragraph 4.2 hereof. Premiums for policy periods commencing prior
to, or extending beyond, the term of this Lease shall be prorated to coincide
with the corresponding Commencement Date and Expiration Date.

(iv) Property
insurance against “all risks” at least as broad as the current ISO Special Form
policy, (and Tenant shall not be obligated to carry flood or earthquake coverage
provided Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any damage or loss
arising from flood or earthquake and Tenant waives and releases Landlord from
all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, judgments and costs arising from or
related to Tenant not carrying such flood or earthquake coverage), for loss to
any tenant improvements or betterments, floor and wall coverings, and business

8.3 Landlord’s

shall not be obligated to, maintain risk of direct physical loss property damage
insurance coverage, including earthquake and flood, covering the buildings
within the Business Center, Commercial General Liability insurance, and such
other insurance in such amounts and covering such other liability or hazards as
deemed appropriate by Landlord. The amount and scope of coverage of
Landlord’s insurance shall be determined by Landlord from time to time in its
sole discretion and shall be subject to such deductible amounts as Landlord may
elect. Landlord shall have the right to reduce or terminate any
insurance or coverage.
8.4 Waiver of
Subrogation. To the extent
permitted by law and with permission of their insurance carriers, Landlord and
Tenant each waive any right to recover against the other on account of any and
all claims Landlord or Tenant may have against the other with respect to
16
property
insurance actually carried, or required to be carried hereunder, to the extent
of the proceeds realized from such insurance coverage or which could have been
realized from such insurance coverage had the party carried the insurance
required of such party by the terms of this Lease.
8.5 Indemnity. Except to the
extent caused by the active (but not passive) negligence or willful misconduct
of Landlord, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify, and hold Landlord and
Landlord Entities harmless from and against any and all loss, claims, liability,
or costs (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by
reason of third party claims against Landlord or Landlord Entities which arise
out of or relate to:
(a) any
damage to any property (including but not limited to property of any Landlord
Entity) or death, bodily, or personal injury to any person occurring in or about
the Premises, the Building, or the Business Center to the extent that such
injury or damage shall be caused by or arise from any act or omission by or of
Tenant, or any Tenant Entity;
(b) the
conduct or management of any work or anything whatsoever done by the Tenant on
or about the Premises or from transactions of the Tenant concerning the
Premises;
(c) Tenant’s
failure to comply with its obligations regarding Applicable Requirements;
or
(d) any
breach or default on the part of Tenant in the performance of any covenant or
agreement to be performed pursuant to this Lease.
The provisions of this Paragraph 8.5
shall, with respect to any claims or liability accruing prior to such
termination, survive the Expiration Date or earlier termination of this
Lease. Landlord shall provide Tenant with prompt, detailed written notice
of each claim against Landlord for which Landlord will seek indemnity from
Tenant and shall fully cooperate wiht Tenant in the defense and/or settlement of
each such claim if requested by Tenant.
8.6 Exemption
of Landlord from Liability. Except to the
extent caused by the active (but not passive) negligence or willful misconduct
of Landlord, neither Landlord nor Landlord Entities shall be liable for and
Tenant waives any claims against Landlord and Landlord Entities for injury or
damage to the person or the property of Tenant, Tenant’s employees, contractors,
invitees, customers or any other person in or about the Premises, Building or
Business Center from any cause whatsoever, including, but not limited to, damage
or injury which is caused by or results from (i) fire, steam, electricity, gas,
water or rain, or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of
pipes, fire sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, heating, ventilating, air
conditioning or lighting fixtures or (ii) from the condition of the Premises,
other portions of the Building or Business Center. Notwithstanding
Landlord’s negligence (active or passive), gross negligence (active or passive),
or breach of this Lease, Landlord shall under no circumstances be liable for (a)
injury to Tenant’s business, for any loss of income or profit therefrom or any
indirect, consequential or punitive damages or (b) any damage to property or
injury to persons arising from any act of God or war, violence or
17
insurrection,
including, but not limited to, those caused by earthquakes, hurricanes, storms,
drought, floods, acts of terrorism, and/or riots.
9. Damage
or Destruction.
9.1 Termination
Right. Tenant shall give
Landlord immediate written notice of any damage to the
Premises. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 9.2, if the Premises
or the Building shall be damaged to such an extent that there is substantial
interference for a period exceeding two hundred seventy (270) consecutive days
with the conduct by Tenant of its business at the Premises,
then either party, at any time prior to commencement of repair of the
Premises and following ten (10) days written notice to the other party, may
terminate this Lease effective thirty (30) days after delivery of such notice to
the other party. Further, if any portion of the Premises is damaged
and is not fully covered by the aggregate of insurance proceeds received by
Landlord and any applicable deductible or if the holder of any indebtedness
secured by the Premises requires that the insurance proceeds be applied to such
indebtedness, and Tenant does not voluntarily contribute any shortfall thereof
to Landlord, then Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by
delivering written notice of termination to Tenant within thirty (30) days after
the date of notice to Tenant of any such event. Such termination
shall not excuse the performance by Tenant of those covenants which under the
terms hereof survive termination. Rent shall be abated in proportion
to the degree of interference during the period that there is such substantial
interference with the conduct of Tenant’s business at the
Premises. Abatement of rent and Tenant’s right of termination
pursuant to this provision shall be Tenant’s sole remedy with respect to any
such damage regardless of the cause thereof.
9.2 Damage
Caused by Tenant. Tenant’s
termination rights under Paragraph 9.1 shall not apply if the damage to the
Premises or Building is the result of any act or omission of Tenant or of any of
Tenant’s agents, employees, customers, invitees, or contractors (“Tenant
Acts”). Any damage resulting from a Tenant Act shall be promptly
repaired by Tenant. Landlord at its option may at Tenant’s expense
repair any damage caused by Tenant Acts. Tenant shall continue to pay
all rent and other sums due hereunder and shall be liable to Landlord for all
damages that Landlord may sustain resulting from a Tenant Act.
10. Real
Property Taxes.
10.1 Payment
of Real Property Taxes. Landlord shall
pay the Real Property Taxes due and payable during the term of this Lease and,
except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 10.3, such payments shall be a Common
Area Operating Expense reimbursable pursuant to Paragraph 4.2.
10.2 Real
Property Tax Definition. As used herein,
the term “Real Property Taxes” is any form of tax or assessment, general,
special, ordinary, or extraordinary, imposed or levied upon (a) the Business
Center or Building, (b) any interest of Landlord in the Business Center or
Building, (c) Landlord’s right to rent or other income from the Business Center
or Building, and/or (d) Landlord’s business of leasing the
Premises. Real Property Taxes include (a) any license fee, commercial
rental tax, excise tax, improvement bond or bonds, levy, or tax; (b) any tax or
charge which replaces or is in addition to any of such above-described “Real
Property Taxes,” and (c) any fees, expenses, or costs (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees, expert fees,
18
and the
like) incurred by Landlord in protesting or contesting any assessments levied or
any tax rate. Real Property Taxes for tax years commencing prior to,
or extending beyond, the term of this Lease shall be prorated to coincide with
the corresponding Commencement Date and Expiration Date. Real
Property Taxes do not include taxes based on net income.
10.3 Additional
Improvements. Operating
Expenses shall not include Real Property Taxes attributable to improvements
placed upon the Business Center by other tenants or by Landlord for the
exclusive enjoyment of such other tenants. Tenant shall, however, pay
to Landlord at the time Operating Expenses are payable under Paragraph 4.2, the
entirety of any increase in Real Property Taxes if assessed by reason of
improvements placed upon the Premises by Tenant or at Tenant’s
request.
10.4 Joint
Assessment. If the Building
is not separately assessed, Real Property Taxes allocated to the Building shall
be an equitable proportion of the Real Property Taxes for all of the land and
improvements included within the tax parcel assessed.
10.5 Tenant’s
Property Taxes. Tenant shall pay
prior to delinquency all taxes assessed against and levied upon Tenant’s
improvements, fixtures, furnishings, equipment, and all personal property of
Tenant contained in the Premises or stored within the Business
Center.
11. Utilities. Tenant
shall pay directly for all utilities and services supplied to the Premises,
including but not limited to electricity, telephone, security, gas, and cleaning
of the Premises, together with any taxes thereon. For any such
utility fees or services that are not billed or metered separately to Tenant,
including without limitation, water and sewer charges, and garbage and waste
disposal (collectively, “Utility Expenses”), Tenant shall pay to Landlord
Tenant’s Share of Utility Expenses. If Landlord reasonably determines
that Tenant’s Share of Utility Expenses is not commensurate with Tenant’s use of
such services, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount which is attributable to
Tenant’s use of the utilities or similar services, as reasonably estimated and
determined by Landlord, based upon factors such as size of the Premises and
intensity of use of such utilities by Tenant such that Tenant shall pay the
portion of such charges reasonably consistent with Tenant’s use of such
utilities and similar services. If Tenant disputes any such estimate
or determination, then Tenant shall either pay the estimated amount or cause the
Premises to be separately metered at Tenant’s sole expense. Tenant
shall also pay Tenant’s Share of any assessments, charges, and fees included
within any tax xxxx for the lot on which the Premises are situated, including
without limitation, entitlement fees, allocation unit fees, sewer use fees, and
any other similar fees or charges.
12. Assignment and
Subleasing.
12.1 Prohibition. Tenant shall not,
without the prior written consent of Landlord, assign, mortgage, hypothecate,
encumber, grant any license or concession, pledge or otherwise transfer this
Lease or any interest herein, permit any assignment or other such transfer of
this Lease or any interest hereunder by operation of law, sublet the Premises or
any part thereof, or permit the use of the Premises by any persons other than
Tenant, to the extent permitted by Section 12.9 below, Affiliates of Tenant (as
defined below) and Tenant’s Representatives (all of the foregoing are sometimes
referred to collectively as “Transfers” and any person to whom any Transfer is
made or sought to be made is sometimes referred to as a
“Transferee”). No consent
19
to any
Transfer shall constitute a waiver of the provisions of this Section, and all
subsequent Transfers may be made only with the prior written consent of
Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, but which consent
shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.
12.2 Request
for Consent. If Tenant seeks
to make a Transfer, Tenant shall notify Landlord, in writing, and deliver to
Landlord at least fifteen (15) days (but not more than one hundred eighty (180)
days) prior to the proposed commencement date of the Transfer (the “Proposed
Effective Date”) the following information and documents (the “Tenant’s
Notice”): (i) a description of the portion of the Premises to be transferred
(the “Subject Space”); (ii) all of the terms of the proposed Transfer including
without limitation, the Proposed Effective Date, the name and address of the
proposed Transferee, and a copy of the existing or proposed assignment, sublease
or other agreement governing the proposed Transfer; (iii) current financial
statements of the proposed Transferee certified by an officer, member, partner
or owner thereof, and any such other information as Landlord may then reasonably
require, including without limitation, audited (if available) financial
statements for the previous three (3) most recent consecutive fiscal years; (iv)
the Plans and Specifications (defined below), if any; and (v) such other
information as Landlord may then reasonably require. Tenant shall
give Landlord the Tenant’s Notice by registered or certified mail addressed to
Landlord at Landlord’s Address specified in the Basic
Provisions. Within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s receipt of the
Tenant’s Notice (the “Landlord Response Period”) Landlord shall notify Tenant,
in writing, of its determination with respect to such requested proposed
Transfer and the election to recapture as set forth below. If
Landlord does not elect to recapture pursuant to the provisions hereof and
Landlord does consent to the requested proposed Transfer, Tenant may thereafter
assign its interests in and to this Lease or sublease all or a portion of the
Premises to the same party and on the same terms as set forth in the Tenant’s
Notice. If Landlord fails to respond to Tenant’s Notice within Landlord’s
Response Period, then, after Tenant delivers to Landlord fifteen (15) days
written notice (the “Second Response Period”) and Landlord fails to respond
thereto prior to the end of the Second Response Period, the proposed Transfer
shall then be deemed approved by Landlord.
12.3 Criteria
for Consent. Tenant
acknowledges and agrees that, among other circumstances for which Landlord could
reasonably withhold consent to a proposed Transfer, it shall be reasonable for
Landlord to withhold its consent where (a) a Default (as defined below) then
exists, (b) the use to be made of the Premises by the proposed Transferee is
prohibited under this Lease or differs from the uses permitted under this Lease,
(c) the proposed Transferee or its business is subject to compliance with
additional requirements of the ADA beyond those requirements which are
applicable to Tenant, unless the proposed Transferee shall (1) first deliver
plans and specifications for complying with such additional requirements (the
“Plans and Specifications”) and obtain Landlord’s written consent thereto, and
(2) comply with all Landlord’s conditions contained in such consent, (d) the
proposed Transferee does not intend to occupy a substantial portion of the
Premises assigned or sublet to it, (e) Landlord reasonably disapproves of the
proposed Transferee’s business operating ability or history, reputation or
creditworthiness or the character of the business to be conducted by the
proposed Transferee at the Premises, (f) the proposed Transferee is a
governmental agency or unit or an existing tenant in the Business Center, (g)
the proposed Transfer would violate any “exclusive” rights of any occupants in
the Business Center or cause Landlord to violate another agreement or obligation
to which Landlord is a party or otherwise subject, (h) Landlord or Landlord’s
agent has shown comparable space in the Business Center to the proposed
Transferee or responded to any
20
inquiries
from the proposed Transferee or the proposed Transferee’s agent concerning
availability of space in the Business Center, at any time within the preceding
six (6) months and Landlord has space available in the Business Center for lease
to such tenant, (i) Landlord otherwise reasonably determines that the proposed
Transfer would have the effect of decreasing the value of the Building or the
Business Center, or increasing the expenses associated with operating,
maintaining and repairing the Business Center, (j) either the proposed
Transferee, or any person or entity which directly or indirectly, controls, is
controlled by, or is under common control with, the proposed
Transferee: (i) occupies space in the Building at the time of the
request for consent, (ii) is negotiating with Landlord to lease space in the
Building at such time, or (iii) has negotiated with Landlord during the 12 month
period immediately preceding the Tenant’s Notice, or (k) the proposed Transferee
will use, store or handle Hazardous Materials (defined below) in or about the
Premises of a type, nature or quantity that could materially and adversely
affect the value of the Building or Business Center.
12.4 Effectiveness
of Transfer and Continuing Obligations. Prior to the date
on which any permitted Transfer becomes effective, Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord (i) a copy of the fully executed Transfer document, (ii) an executed
Hazardous Materials Disclosure Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit
C hereto (the “Transferee HazMat Certificate”), and (iii) Landlord’s form
of Consent to Assignment or Consent to Sublease, as applicable, executed by
Tenant and the Transferee in which each of Tenant and the Transferee confirms
its obligations pursuant to this Lease. Failure or refusal of a
Transferee to execute any such consent instrument shall not release or discharge
the Transferee from its obligation to do so or from any liability as provided
herein. The voluntary, involuntary or other surrender of this Lease
by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation by Landlord and Tenant, shall not work a
merger, and any such surrender or cancellation shall, at the option of Landlord,
either terminate all or any existing subleases or operate as an assignment to
Landlord of any or all of such subleases. Each permitted Transferee
shall assume and be deemed to assume this Lease (in the event of an assignment
of this Lease) and each permitted Transferee shall be and remain liable jointly
and severally with Tenant for payment of Rent (or with respect to a sublease,
rent in the amount set forth in the sublease) and for the due performance of,
and compliance with all the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements herein
contained on Tenant’s part to be performed or complied with, for that portion of
the Term of this Lease on and following the date of such Transfer (and if a
sublease, to extent relating to the space so sublet). No Transfer
shall affect the continuing primary liability of Tenant (which, following
assignment, shall be joint and several with the assignee), and Tenant shall not
be released from performing any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this
Lease. An assignee of Tenant shall become directly liable to Landlord
for all obligations of Tenant hereunder, but no Transfer by Tenant shall relieve
Tenant of any obligations or liability under this Lease whether occurring before
or after such consent, assignment, subletting or other Transfer. The
acceptance of any or all of the Rent by Landlord from any other person (whether
or not such person is an occupant of the Premises) shall not be deemed to be a
waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any
Transfer. If Tenant is a business entity, the direct or indirect transfer of
more than fifty percent (50%) of the ownership interest of the entity (whether
in a single transaction or in the aggregate through more than one transaction)
shall be deemed a Transfer and shall be subject to all the provisions hereof and
in such event, it shall be a condition to Landlord’s consent to such ownership
change that such entities or persons acquiring such ownership interest assume,
as a primary obligor, all rights and obligations of Tenant under this
Lease (and such entities and
21
persons
shall execute all documents reasonably required to effectuate such
assumption). Any
and all options, first rights of refusal, tenant improvement allowances and
other similar rights granted to Tenant in this Lease, if any, shall not be
assignable by Tenant unless expressly authorized in writing by Landlord (which
shall be in Landlord’s sole discretion). Any transfer that is not in
compliance with the provisions of this Section 12, shall, at Landlord’s option,
be null, void and of no effect, and shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute a
material default by Tenant of this Lease. As Additional Rent
hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord each time it requests a Transfer
Consent, an administrative fee in the amount of one thousand five hundred
dollars ($1,500) and, in addition, Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for
reasonable actual legal and other expenses incurred by Landlord in connection
with any actual or proposed Transfer. To the extent applicable, the
provisions of Section 12.9 govern and take precedence with respect to the
provisions of this Section 12.4.
12.5 Rent
Adjustment/Recapture. Landlord
shall have the right to recapture the Subject Space described in the Tenant’s
Notice if the Subject Space comprises more than fifty percent (50%) of the
Premises. Each such recapture notice shall be given in writing, it
shall serve to terminate this Lease with respect to the proposed Subject Space,
or, if the proposed Subject Space covers all the Premises, it shall serve to
terminate the entire Term of this Lease, in either case, as of the Proposed
Effective Date. By giving written notice to Landlord within five (5)
days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s written recapture notice, Tenant may
revoke its request for Landlord’s approval of the Transfer in question, in which
event, Landlord’s exercise of its recapture right regarding such proposed
Transfer shall become null and void as though no request by Tenant had ever been
made. However, no termination of this Lease with respect to part or
all of the Premises shall become effective without the prior written consent,
where necessary, of the holder of each deed of trust encumbering the Premises or
any other portion of the Business Center. If this Lease is terminated
pursuant to the foregoing provisions with respect to less than the entire
Premises, the Rent shall be adjusted on the basis of the proportion of rentable
square feet retained by Tenant to the rentable square feet originally demised
and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and
effect.
12.6 Transfer
Premium. If Landlord
consents to a Transfer, as a condition thereto, Tenant shall pay to Landlord
monthly, as Additional Rent, at the same time as the monthly installments of
Rent are payable hereunder, fifty percent (50%) of any Transfer
Premium. The term “Transfer Premium” shall mean all rent, additional
rent and other consideration payable by such Transferee which either initially
or over the term of the Transfer exceeds the Rent or pro rata portion of the
Rent, as the case may be, for such space reserved in the Lease, after the
payment of reasonable and customary real estate commissions, reasonable legal
fees incurred by Tenant in connection with such Transfer and the actual and
reasonable costs of altering the Premises for such assignee or subtenant with
such expenses to be amortized (on a straight line basis) and deducted from the
profits over the term of the sublease in the event of a sublease.
12.7 Waiver. Notwithstanding
any Transfer, or any indulgences, waivers or extensions of time granted by
Landlord to any Transferee, or failure by Landlord to take action against any
Transferee, Tenant agrees that Landlord may, at its option, proceed against
Tenant without having taken action against or joined such Transferee, except
that Tenant shall have the benefit of any indulgences, waivers and extensions of
time granted to any such Transferee.
22
12.8 Special
Transfer Prohibitions. Notwithstanding anything set
forth above to the contrary, Tenant may not (a) sublet the Premises or assign
this Lease to any person or entity in which Landlord owns an interest, directly
or indirectly (by applying constructive ownership rules set forth in Section
856(d)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”); or (b) sublet the Premises
or assign this Lease in any other manner which could cause any portion of the
amounts received by Landlord pursuant to this Lease or any sublease to fail to
qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of
the Code, or which could cause any other income received by Landlord to fail to
qualify as income described in Section 856(c)(2) of the Code.
12.9 Affiliated
Companies/Restructuring of Business Organization. The assignment or
subletting by Tenant of all or any portion of this Lease or the Premises to (i)
a parent or subsidiary of Tenant, (ii) any person or entity which controls, is
controlled by or is under common control with Tenant, (iii) any entity which
purchases all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, or (iv) any entity
into which Tenant is merged or consolidated (all such persons or entities
described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) being sometimes herein referred
to as “Affiliates”) shall not be deemed a Transfer under this Section 12 (hence,
the aforesaid events shall not be subject to obtaining Landlord’s prior consent;
Landlord shall not have any right to receive any Transfer Premium in connection
therewith; and Landlord shall not have the recapture rights described herein),
provided in all instances that:
12.9.1 No
Default then exists under this Lease;
12.9.2 Any
such Affiliate was not formed as a subterfuge to avoid the obligations of this
Section;
12.9.3 Tenant
give Landlord prior notice of any such assignment or sublease to an Affiliate at
least 30 days prior to the effective date of the proposed transfer;
12.9.4 Any
such assignment or sublease shall be subject to all of the terms and provisions
of this Lease, and such assignee or sublessee (i.e., any such Affiliate), other
than in the case of an Affiliate resulting from a merger or consolidation as
described above, shall assume, in a written document reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord and delivered to Landlord upon or prior to the effective date of such
assignment or sublease, all the obligations of Tenant under this Lease;
and
12.9.5 Tenant
shall remain fully liable for all obligations to be performed by Tenant under
this Lease.
12.9.6 With
respect to a purchase, merger, consolidation or reorganization which results in
Tenant ceasing to exist as a separate legal entity, (A) Tenant’s successor shall
own all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, and (B) Tenant’s successor
shall have a net worth which is at least equal to the greater of Tenant’s net
worth at the date of this Lease or Tenant’s net worth as of the day prior to the
proposed purchase, merger, consolidation or reorganization.
23
12.9.7 Tenant’s
notice to Landlord shall include information and documentation showing that each
of the above conditions has been satisfied. If requested by Landlord,
Tenant’s successor shall sign a commercially reasonable form of assumption
agreement.
13. Default;
Remedies.
13.1 Default. The occurrence of
any one of the following events shall constitute an event of default on the part
of Tenant (“Default”):
(a) The
abandonment of the Premises by Tenant;
(b) Failure
to pay any installment of Base Rent, Additional Rent, or any other monies due
and payable hereunder, said failure continuing for a period of three (3)
business days after Landlord’s delivery of written notice to Tenant that said
payment is past due. Tenant agrees that any such written notice
delivered by Landlord shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, serve as
the statutorily required notice under applicable law to the extent Tenant fails
to cure such failure to pay within such three (3) business day
period. In addition to the foregoing, Tenant agrees to notice and
service of notice as provided for in accordance with applicable statutory
requirements;
(c) A
general assignment by Tenant or any guarantor for the benefit of
creditors;
(d) The
filing of a voluntary petition of bankruptcy by Tenant or any guarantor; the
filing of a voluntary petition for an arrangement; the filing of a petition,
voluntary or involuntary, for reorganization; or the filing of an involuntary
petition by Tenant’s creditors or guarantors;
(e) Receivership,
attachment, or other judicial seizure of the Premises or all or substantially
all of Tenant’s assets on the Premises;
(f) Failure
of Tenant to maintain insurance as required by Paragraph 8.2;
(g) Any
breach by Tenant of its covenants under Paragraph 6.2;
(h) Failure
in the performance of any of Tenant’s covenants, agreements, or obligations
hereunder (except those failures specified as events of Default in other
Paragraphs of this Paragraph 13.1 which shall be governed by such other
Paragraphs), which failure continues for 20 days after written notice thereof
from Landlord to Tenant; provided that, if Tenant has exercised reasonable
diligence to cure such failure and such failure cannot be cured within such
20-day period despite reasonable diligence, Tenant shall not be in default under
this subparagraph unless Tenant fails thereafter diligently and continuously to
prosecute the cure to completion;
(i) Any
transfer (excluding security interest granted to secure loans) of a substantial
portion of the assets of Tenant, unless such transfer is undertaken or
incurred in the
24
ordinary
course of Tenant’s business, or in good faith for equivalent consideration, or
with Landlord’s consent; and
(j) The
default of any guarantors of Tenant’s obligations hereunder under any guaranty
of this Lease, or the attempted repudiation or revocation of any such
guaranty.
13.2 Remedies. In the event of
any Default by Tenant, Landlord shall have any or all of the following
remedies:
(a) Termination. In
the event of any Default by Tenant, then in addition to any other remedies
available to Landlord at law or in equity and under this Lease, Landlord shall
have the immediate option to terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant
hereunder by giving written notice of such intention to terminate. In the event
that Landlord shall elect to so terminate this Lease then Landlord may recover
from Tenant:
(1) the
worth at the time of award of any unpaid Rent and any other sums due and payable
which have been earned at the time of such termination; plus
(2) the
worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent and any other
sums due and payable which would have been earned after termination until the
time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss Tenant proves could have
been reasonably avoided; plus
(3) the
worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent and any other
sums due and payable for the balance of the term of this Lease after the time of
award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be
reasonably avoided; plus
(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 would be likely to result therefrom, including, without
limitation, any reasonable costs or expenses incurred by Landlord (i) in
retaking possession of the Premises; (ii) in maintaining, repairing, preserving,
restoring, replacing, cleaning, the Premises or any portion thereof, including
such acts for reletting to a new lessee or lessees; (iii) for leasing
commissions; or (iv) for any other costs necessary or appropriate to relet the
Premises; plus
(5) such
reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord as a result of a Default, and
costs in the event suit is filed by Landlord to enforce such remedy; and
plus
(6) at
Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the
foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable law. As used in
subparagraphs (1) and (2) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by
allowing interest at an annual rate equal to twelve percent (12%) per annum or
the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less. As used in subparagraph
(3) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by discounting such
amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the
time of award, plus one percent (1 %). Tenant waives redemption or
25
relief
from forfeiture under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1174 and 1179,
or under any other present or future law, in the event Tenant is evicted or
Landlord takes possession of the Premises by reason of any Default of Tenant
hereunder.
(b) Continuation of
Lease. In the event of any Default by Tenant, then in
addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity and
under this Lease, Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil
Code Section 1951.4 (Landlord may continue this Lease in effect after Tenant’s
Default and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due, provided tenant has
the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable
limitations).
(c) Re-entry. In
the event of any Default by Tenant, Landlord shall also have the right, with or
without terminating this Lease, in compliance with applicable law, to re-enter
the Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises; such
property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the
cost of and for the account of Tenant.
(d) Reletting. In
the event of the abandonment of the Premises by Tenant or in the event that
Landlord shall elect to re-enter or shall take possession of the Premises
pursuant to legal proceeding or pursuant to any notice provided by law, then if
Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease as provided in Paragraph a,
Landlord may from time to time, without terminating this Lease, relet the
Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms and at such rental or
rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole
discretion may deem advisable with the right to make alterations and repairs to
the Premises. In the event that Landlord shall elect to so relet, then rentals
received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied in the following
order: (1) to reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord as a result of a
Default and costs in the event suit is filed by Landlord to enforce such
remedies; (2) to the payment of any indebtedness other than Rent due
hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; (3) to the payment of any costs of
such reletting; (4) to the payment of the costs of any commercially
reasonable alterations and repairs to the Premises; (5) to the
payment of Rent due and unpaid hereunder; and (6) the residue, if
any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future Rent and other
sums payable by Tenant hereunder as the same may become due and payable
hereunder. Should that portion of such rentals received from such
reletting during any month, which is applied to the payment of Rent hereunder,
be less than the Rent payable during the month by Tenant hereunder, then Tenant
shall pay such deficiency to Landlord. Such deficiency shall be
calculated and paid monthly. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord, as
soon as ascertained, any costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in such
reletting or in making such alterations and repairs not covered by the rentals
received from such reletting.
(e) Termination. No
re-entry or taking of possession of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to
Subparagraphs (c) and (d) above shall be construed as an election to terminate
this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant or
unless the termination thereof is decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding any reletting without termination by Landlord because of any
Default by Tenant, Landlord may at any time after such reletting elect to
terminate this Lease for any such Default.
26
(f) Cumulative
Remedies. The remedies herein provided are not exclusive and
Landlord shall have any and all other remedies provided herein or by law or in
equity.
(g) No
Surrender. No act or conduct of Landlord, whether consisting
of the acceptance of the keys to the Premises, or otherwise, shall be deemed to
be or constitute an acceptance of the surrender of the Premises by Tenant prior
to the expiration of the Term, and such acceptance by Landlord of surrender by
Tenant shall only flow from and must be evidenced by a written acknowledgment of
acceptance of surrender signed by Landlord. The surrender of this Lease by
Tenant, voluntarily or otherwise, shall not work a merger unless Landlord elects
in writing that such merger take place, but shall operate as an assignment to
Landlord of any and all existing subleases, or Landlord may, at its option,
elect in writing to treat such surrender as a merger terminating Tenant’s estate
under this Lease, and thereupon Landlord may terminate any or all such subleases
by notifying the sublessee of its election so to do within five (5) days after
such surrender.
(h) Notice
Provisions Tenant agrees that any notice given by Landlord
pursuant to Paragraph 13.1 of the Lease shall satisfy the requirements for
notice under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161, and Landlord shall
not be required to give any additional notice in order to be entitled to
commence an unlawful detainer proceeding. Should Landlord prepare any notice to
Tenant for failure to pay rent, additional rent or perform any other obligation
under the Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, without any further notice from
Landlord, the additional sum of $75.00 which the parties hereby agree represents
a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of
preparing such notice.
13.3 Late
Charges. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by
Tenant to Landlord of Rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to
incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be
extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not
limited to, processing and accounting charges. Accordingly, if any
installment of Rent or other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by
Landlord or Landlord’s designee within 4 days after such amount shall be due,
then, without any requirement for notice to Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord
a late charge equal to 5% of such overdue amount. The parties hereby
agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the
costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by
Tenant. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event
constitute a waiver of Tenant’s Default with respect to such overdue amount, nor
prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted
hereunder.
13.4 Landlord’s
Default and Tenant’s Remedies. Landlord shall not be deemed to
be in default of its obligations unless Landlord fails to perform any covenant,
condition, or agreement contained in this Lease and fails to cure the
nonperformance within a reasonable time, but not later than thirty (30) days
after receiving written notice of the failure; provided, however, that if the
nature of Landlord’s failure to perform reasonably requires more than thirty
(30) days to cure, then Landlord shall not be deemed in default if Landlord
commences to cure such failure within said thirty (30)-day period and thereafter
diligently and in good faith prosecutes such cure to completion.
27
14. Condemnation. If
the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under the power of eminent domain
or sold under the threat of exercise of said power (all of which are herein
called “condemnation”), this Lease shall terminate as to the part so taken as of
the date the condemning authority takes title or possession, whichever first
occurs. If more than 10% of the floor area of the Premises, or more
than 25% of the portion of the Common Areas designated for Tenant’s parking, is
taken by condemnation, Tenant may, at Tenant’s option, to be exercised in
writing within 10 days after Landlord shall have given Tenant written notice of
such taking (or in the absence of such notice, within 10 days after the
condemning authority shall have taken possession), terminate this Lease as of
the date the condemning authority takes such possession. If Tenant
does not terminate this Lease in accordance with the foregoing, this Lease shall
remain in full force and effect as to the portion of the Premises remaining,
except that the Base Rent shall be reduced in the same proportion as the
rentable floor area of the Premises taken bears to the total rentable floor area
of the Premises. No reduction of Base Rent shall occur if the
condemnation does not apply to any portion of the Premises. Any award
for the taking of all or any part of the Premises under the power of eminent
domain or any payment made under threat of the exercise of such power shall be
the property of Landlord; provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to
any compensation, separately awarded to Tenant, for Tenant’s relocation expenses
and/or loss of Tenant’s trade fixtures. In the event that this Lease
is not terminated by reason of such condemnation, Landlord shall to the extent
of its net severance damages in the condemnation matter, repair any damage to
the Premises caused by such condemnation authority.
15. Estoppel
Certificate and Financial Statements.
15.1 Estoppel
Certificate. Each party
(herein referred to as “Responding Party”) shall within 10 days after written
notice from the other Party (the “Requesting Party”) execute, acknowledge, and
deliver to the Requesting Party, to the extent it can truthfully do so, an
estoppel certificate in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, or any of
Landlord’s lenders or any prospective purchasers of the Premises or the Business
Center as the case may be, plus such additional information, confirmation, and
statements as be reasonably requested by the Requesting Party. Should Tenant
fail to deliver an executed and acknowledged estoppel certificate to Landlord as
prescribed herein, Tenant hereby authorizes Landlord to act as Tenant’s
attorney-in-fact in executing such estoppel certificate or, at Landlord’s
option, Tenant shall pay a fee of $100.00 per day (“Estoppel Delay Fee”) for
each day after the 10 days’ written notice in which Tenant fails to comply with
this requirement.
15.2 Financial
Statement. If Landlord
desires to finance, refinance, or sell the Building, Business Center, or any
part thereof, Tenant and all Guarantors shall deliver to any potential lender or
purchaser designated by Landlord such financial statements of Tenant and such
Guarantors as may be reasonably required by such lender or purchaser, including
but not limited to Tenant’s financial statements for the past 3
years. All such financial statements shall be received by Landlord
and such lender or purchaser in confidence and shall be used only for the
purposes herein set forth.
16. Additional
Covenants and Provisions.
28
16.1 Severability. The invalidity of
any provision of this Lease, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction,
shall not affect the validity of any other provision hereof.
16.2 Interest
on Past-Due Obligations. Any monetary
payment due Landlord hereunder not received by Landlord within 10 days following
the date on which it was due shall bear interest from the date due at 10% per
annum, but not exceeding the maximum rate allowed by law in addition to the late
charge provided for in Paragraph 13.3.
16.3 Time of
Essence. Time is of the
essence with respect to the performance of all obligations to be performed or
observed by the Parties under this Lease.
16.4 Landlord
Liability. Tenant, its
successors, and assigns shall not assert nor seek to enforce any claim for
breach of this Lease against any of Landlord’s assets other than Landlord’s
interest in the Business Center. Tenant agrees to look solely to such
interest for the satisfaction of any liability or claim against Landlord under
this Lease. In no event whatsoever shall Landlord (which term shall
include, without limitation, any general or limited partner, trustees,
beneficiaries, officers, directors, or stockholders of Landlord) ever be
personally liable for any such liability. Except as may otherwise be
provided by Applicable Requirements, no employee, officer, director or
stockholder of Tenant shall have personal liability under this
Lease.
16.5 Entire
Agreement. It is understood
and acknowledged that there are no oral agreements between the parties hereto
affecting this Lease and this Lease supersedes and cancels any and all previous
negotiations, arrangements, brochures, agreements and understandings, if any,
between the parties hereto or displayed by Landlord to Tenant with respect to
the subject matter thereof, and none thereof shall be used to interpret or
construe this Lease. This Lease and any side letter or separate
agreement executed by Landlord and Tenant in connection with this Lease and
dated of even date herewith contain all of the terms, covenants, conditions,
warranties and agreements of the parties relating in any manner to the rental,
use and occupancy of the Premises, shall be considered to be the only agreement
between the parties hereto and their representatives and agents, and none of the
terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease can be modified,
deleted or added to except in writing signed by the parties
hereto. All negotiations and oral agreements acceptable to both
parties have been merged into and are included herein. There are no
other representations or warranties between the parties, and all reliance with
respect to representations is based totally upon the representations and
agreements contained in this Lease. The parties acknowledge that (i)
each party and/or its counsel have reviewed and revised this Lease, and (ii) no
rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved
against the drafting party shall be employed in the interpretation or
enforcement of this Lease or any amendments or exhibits to this Lease or any
document executed and delivered by either party in connection with this
Lease.
16.6 Notice
Requirements. All notices
required or permitted by this Lease shall be in writing and may be delivered in
person (by hand, messenger, or courier service) or may be sent by regular,
certified, or registered mail or U.S. Postal Service Express Mail, with postage
prepaid, or by facsimile transmission during normal business hours, and shall be
deemed sufficiently given if served in a manner specified in this Paragraph
16.6. The addresses noted
29
adjacent
to a Party’s signature on this Lease shall be that Party’s address for delivery
or mailing of notice purposes. Either Party may by written notice to
the other specify a different address for notice purposes, except that upon
Tenant’s taking possessing of the Premises, the Premises shall constitute
Tenant’s address for the purpose of mailing or delivering notices to
Tenant. A copy of all notices required or permitted to be given to
Landlord hereunder shall be concurrently transmitted to such party or parties at
such addresses as Landlord may from time to time hereafter designate by written
notice to Tenant.
16.7 Date of
Notice. Any notice sent
by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, shall be deemed given
on the date of delivery shown on the receipt card, or if no delivery date is
shown, the postmark thereon. If sent by regular mail, the notice
shall be deemed given 48 hours after the same is addressed as required herein
and mailed with postage prepaid. Notices delivered by United States
Express Mail or an overnight courier that guarantees next day delivery shall be
deemed given 24 hours after delivery of the same to the United States Postal
Service or courier. If any notice is transmitted by facsimile
transmission or similar means, the same shall be deemed served or delivered upon
telephone or facsimile confirmation of receipt of the transmission thereof,
provided a copy is also delivered via hand or overnight delivery or certified
mail. If notice is received on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday,
it shall be deemed received on the next business day.
16.8 Waivers. No waiver by
Landlord of a Default by Tenant shall be deemed a waiver of any other term,
covenant, or condition hereof, or of any subsequent Default by Tenant of the
same or any other term, covenant, or condition hereof. In addition
the acceptance by Landlord of any rent or other payment after it is due, whether
or not a notice of default has been served or any action (including, without
limitation, an unlawful detainer action) has been filed by Landlord thereon,
shall not be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s rights to proceed on any notice of
default or action which has been filed against Tenant based upon Tenant’s breach
of the Lease.
16.9 Holdover. Tenant has no
right to retain possession of the Premises or any part thereof beyond the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. If Tenant holds over
with the consent of Landlord: (a) the Base Rent payable shall be
increased to 150% of the Base Rent applicable during the month immediately
preceding such expiration or earlier termination; (b) Tenant’s right to
possession shall terminate on 30 days notice from Landlord; and (c) all other
terms and conditions of this Lease shall continue to apply. Nothing
contained herein shall be construed as a consent by Landlord to any holding over
by Tenant. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord harmless
from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, losses, damages,
obligations, costs, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees incurred or suffered by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s failure
to surrender the Premises on the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease
in accordance with the provisions of this Lease. Landlord shall
deliver prompt and reasonable written notice to Tenant of any such
claims.
16.10 Cumulative
Remedies. No remedy or
election hereunder shall be deemed exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be
cumulative with all other remedies in law or in equity.
30
16.11 Binding
Effect: Choice of Law. This Lease shall
be binding upon the Parties, their personal representatives, successors, and
assigns, and be governed by the laws of the State in which the Premises are
located. Any litigation between the Parties hereto concerning this
Lease shall be initiated in the county in which the Premises are
located.
16.12 Landlord. The covenants and
obligations contained in this Lease on the part of Landlord are binding on
Landlord, its successors, and assigns only during their respective period of
ownership of an interest in the Building. In the event of any
transfer or transfers of such title to the Building, Landlord (and, in the case
of any subsequent transfers or conveyances, the then grantor) shall be
concurrently freed and relieved from and after the date of such transfer or
conveyance, without any further instrument or agreement, of all liability with
respect to the performance of any covenants or obligations on the part of
Landlord contained in this Lease thereafter to be performed.
16.13 Attorneys’
Fees and Other Costs. If any Party
brings an action or proceeding to enforce the terms hereof or declare rights
hereunder, the Prevailing Party (as hereafter defined) in any such proceeding
shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees. The term “Prevailing
Party” shall include, without limitation, a Party who substantially obtains or
defeats the relief sought. Landlord shall be entitled to reasonable
attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses incurred in the preparation and service of
notices of Default and consultations in connection therewith, whether or not a
legal action is subsequently commenced in connection with such Default or
resulting breach. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for all
reasonable legal, engineering, and other professional services expenses incurred
by Landlord in connection with all requests by Tenant or any lender of Tenant
for consent, waiver or approval of any kind.
16.14 Landlord’s
Access; Showing Premises; Repairs. Landlord and
Landlord’s agents shall have the right to enter the Premises at any time, in the
case of an emergency, and otherwise at reasonable times upon reasonable notice
for the purpose of showing the same to prospective purchasers, lenders, or
tenants, and making such alterations, repairs, improvements, or additions to the
Premises or to the Building, as Landlord may reasonably deem
necessary. Landlord may at any time place on or about the Premises or
Building any ordinary “For Sale” signs, and Landlord may at any time during the
last 180 days of the term hereof place on or about the Premises any ordinary
“For Lease” signs. All such activities of Landlord shall be without
abatement of rent or liability to Tenant.
16.15 Signs. Tenant shall not
place any signs at or upon the exterior of the Premises or the Building, except
that Tenant may, with Landlord’s prior written consent, install (but not on the
roof) monument signage and Building signage (each in proportion to Tenant’s
Share of the Building and Business Center), at Tenant’s sole cost and expense,
as are reasonably required to advertise Tenant’s own business so long as such
signs are in a location designated by Landlord and comply with sign ordinances
and the signage criteria established for the Business Center by
Landlord.
16.16 Termination;
Merger. Unless
specifically stated otherwise in writing by Landlord, the voluntary or other
surrender of this Lease by Tenant, the mutual termination or cancellation
hereof, or a termination hereof by Landlord for Default by Tenant, shall
31
automatically
terminate any sublease or lesser estate in the Premises; provided, however,
Landlord shall, in the event of any such surrender, termination, or
cancellation, have the option to continue any one or all of any existing
subtenancies. Landlord’s failure within 10 days following any such
event to make a written election to the contrary by written notice to the holder
of any such lesser interest shall constitute Landlord’s election to have such
event constitute the termination of such interest.
16.17 Quiet
Possession. Upon payment by
Tenant of the Base Rent and Additional Rent for the Premises and the performance
of all of the covenants, conditions, and provisions on Tenant’s part to be
observed and performed under this Lease, Tenant shall have quiet possession of
the Premises for the entire term hereof, subject to all of the provisions of
this Lease.
16.18 Subordination; Attornment;
Non-Disturbance.
(a) Subordination. This
Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of
trust, or other hypothecation or mortgage (collectively, “Mortgage”) now or
hereafter placed by Landlord upon the real property of which the Premises are a
part, to any and all advances made on the security thereof, and to all renewals,
modifications, consolidations, replacements, and extensions
thereof. Tenant agrees that any person holding any Mortgage shall
have no duty, liability, or obligation to perform any of the obligations of
Landlord under this Lease. In the event of Landlord’s default with
respect to any such obligation, Tenant will give any Lender, whose name and
address have previously been furnished in writing to Tenant, notice of a default
by Landlord. Tenant may not exercise any remedies for default by
Landlord under this Section unless and until Landlord and the Lender shall have
received written notice of such default and a reasonable time (not less than 90
days) shall thereafter have elapsed without the default having been
cured. If any Lender shall elect to have this Lease superior to the
lien of its Mortgage and shall give written notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease
shall be deemed prior to such Mortgage. The provisions of a Mortgage
relating to the disposition of condemnation and insurance proceeds shall prevail
over any contrary provisions contained in this Lease.
(b) Attornment. Subject
to the nondisturbance provisions of subparagraph (c) of this Paragraph 16.18,
Tenant agrees to attorn to a Lender or any other party who acquires ownership of
the Premises by reason of a foreclosure of a Mortgage. In the event of such
foreclosure, such new owner shall not: (i) be liable for any act or
omission of any prior landlord or with respect to events occurring prior to
acquisition of ownership, (ii) be subject to any offsets or defenses which
Tenant might have against any prior Landlord, or (iii) be liable for security
deposits or be bound by prepayment of more than one month’s rent.
(c) Non-Disturbance. With
respect to a Mortgage entered into by Landlord after the execution of this
Lease, Tenant’s subordination of this Lease shall be subject to receiving
assurance (a “nondisturbance agreement”) from the Mortgage holder that Tenant’s
possession and this Lease will not be disturbed so long as Tenant is not in
default and attorns to the record owner of the Premises.
32
(d) Self-Executing. The
agreements contained in this Paragraph 16.18 shall be effective without the
execution of any further documents; provided, however, that upon written request
from Landlord or a Lender in connection with a sale, financing, or refinancing
of Premises, Tenant and Landlord shall execute such further writings as may be
reasonably required to separately document any such subordination or
nonsubordination, attornment, and/or nondisturbance agreement, as is provided
for herein. Landlord is hereby irrevocably vested with full power to
subordinate this Lease to a Mortgage.
16.19 Rules and
Regulations. Tenant agrees
that it will abide by, and to cause its employees, suppliers, shippers,
customers, tenants, contractors, and invitees to abide by, all reasonable rules
and regulations (“Rules and Regulations”) which Landlord may make from time to
time for the management, safety, care, and cleanliness of the Common Areas, the
parking and unloading of vehicles, and the preservation of good order, as well
as for the convenience of other occupants or tenants of the Building and the
Business Center and their invitees. The current Rules and Regulations are
attached hereto as Exhibit
E. Landlord shall
not be responsible to Tenant for the noncompliance with said Rules and
Regulations by other tenants of the Business Center.
16.20 Security
Measures. Tenant
acknowledges that the rental payable to Landlord hereunder does not include the
cost of guard service or other security measures. Landlord has no
obligations to provide same. Tenant assumes all responsibility for
the protection of the Premises, Tenant, its agents, and invitees and their
property from the acts of third parties.
16.21 Reservations. Landlord reserves
the right to grant such easements that Landlord deems necessary and to cause the
recordation of parcel maps, so long as such easements and maps do not
unreasonably interfere with the use of the Premises by Tenant. Tenant
agrees to sign any documents reasonably requested by Landlord to effectuate any
such easements or maps. Tenant further agrees that Landlord may at
any time following the execution of this Lease, either directly or through
Landlord’s agents, identify Tenant’s name in any marketing materials relating to
the Building or Landlord’s portfolio and/or make press releases or other
announcements regarding the leasing of the Premises by Tenant, and Tenant hereby
waives any and all claims in connection therewith.
16.22 Conflict. Any conflict
between the printed provisions of this Lease and the typewritten or handwritten
provisions shall be controlled by the typewritten or handwritten
provisions.
16.23 Offer. Preparation of
this Lease by either Landlord or Tenant or Landlord’s agent or Tenant’s agent
and submission of same to Tenant or Landlord shall not be deemed an offer to
lease. This Lease is not intended to be binding until executed and
delivered by all Parties hereto.
16.24 Amendments. This Lease may be
modified only in writing, signed by the parties in interest at the time of the
modification.
33
16.25 Multiple
Parties. Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, if more than one person or entity is named
herein as Tenant, the obligations of such persons shall be the joint and several
responsibility of all persons or entities named herein as such
Tenant.
16.26 Authority. Each person
signing on behalf of Landlord or Tenant warrants and represents that she or he
is authorized to execute and deliver this Lease and to make it a binding
obligation of Landlord or Tenant.
16.27 Recordation. Tenant shall not
record this Lease or a short form memorandum hereof.
16.28 Confidentiality. Tenant
acknowledges that the content of this Lease and any related documents are
confidential information. Tenant shall keep and maintain such
confidential information strictly confidential and shall not disclose such
confidential information to any person or entity other than Tenant’s financial,
legal and space planning consultants.
16.29 Landlord
Renovations. Tenant
acknowledges that Landlord may from time to time, at Landlord’s sole option,
renovate, improve, develop, alter, or modify (collectively, the “Renovations”)
portions of the Building, Premises, Common Areas and the Business Center,
including without limitation, systems and equipment, roof, and structural
portions of the same. In connection with such Renovations, Landlord
may, among other things, erect scaffolding or other necessary structures in the
Building, limit or eliminate access to portions of the Business Center,
including portions of the Common Areas, or perform work in the Building, which
work may create noise, dust or leave debris in the Building. Tenant
hereby agrees that such Renovations and Landlord’s actions in connection with
such Renovations shall in no way constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant
nor entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent. Landlord shall have no
responsibility, or for any reason be liable to Tenant, for any direct or
indirect injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising from the
Renovations, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or damages from
Landlord for loss of the use of the whole or any part of the Premises or of
Tenant’s Property, Alterations or improvements resulting from the Renovations or
Landlord’s actions in connection with such Renovations, or for any inconvenience
or annoyance occasioned by such Renovations or Landlord’s actions in connection
with such Renovations. Landlord shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to attempt to reasonably minimize interference with the use of or access
to the Premises without incurring overtime costs for the same.
16.30 WAIVER OF
JURY TRIAL. THE PARTIES
HERETO SHALL AND THEY HEREBY DO WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR
COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGAINST THE OTHER ON ANY
MATTERS WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS LEASE, THE
RELATIONSHIP OF LANDLORD AND TENANT, TENANT’S USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES,
THE BUILDING OR THE PARK, AND/OR ANY CLAIM OF INJURY, LOSS OR
DAMAGE.

Tenant
Improvements
This
Exhibit (Exhibit F) is dated February 26, 2009, for reference purposes only and
is made between Headlands Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation
(“Landlord”), and MIPS Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”), to
be a part of that certain Industrial Lease (the “Lease”) concerning certain
premises more commonly known as 000 X. Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx (the
“Premises”). Landlord and Tenant agree that the Lease is hereby
modified and supplemented as follows:
1. Tenant
Improvements. Subject to the conditions set forth below,
Landlord agrees to construct and install certain improvements (“Tenant
Improvements”) in the Building in accordance with the Approved Working Drawings
(defined below) and pursuant to the terms of this document, at Landlord’s sole
cost and expense, except as otherwise set forth herein.
2. Definition. “Tenant
Improvements” as used in the Lease shall include only those interior
improvements to be made to the Premises as specified in the Approved Working
Drawings (defined below) and agreed to by Tenant and Landlord in accordance with
the provisions hereof. “Tenant Improvements” shall specifically not
include (i) any alterations, additions or improvements installed or constructed
by Tenant, (ii) any of Tenant’s trade fixtures, racking, security equipment,
equipment, furniture, furnishings, telephone and/or data equipment, telephone
and/or data lines or other personal property, and (iii) any supplemental fire
protection improvements or equipment, including without limitation, in-rack fire
sprinklers, hose racks, reels, smoke vents, and draft curtains (collectively,
“Tenant’s Installations”).
3. Approved
Working Drawings. Landlord and Tenant have approved a detailed
space plan for the construction of the Tenant Improvements in the Premises,
which space plan has been prepared by Xxxxxx Xxxxx & Associates, Inc., dated
February 24, 2009 and which is attached hereto as Exhibit
F-1 and incorporated herein by this reference (the “Final Space
Plan”). Based upon and in conformity with the Final Space Plan,
Landlord shall cause its architect and engineers to prepare and deliver to
Tenant, for Tenant’s approval, detailed specifications and engineered working
drawings for the tenant improvements shown on the Final Space Plan (the “Working
Drawings”). The Working Drawings shall incorporate modifications to
the Final Space Plan as necessary to comply with the floor load and other
structural and system requirements of the Building. The finishes and
specifications shall be as set forth in the Final Space Plan for any portion of
the tenant improvements depicted thereon. Within five (5) business
days after Tenant’s receipt of the Working Drawings, Tenant shall approve or
disapprove the same, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld;
provided, however, that Tenant may only disapprove the Working Drawings to the
extent such Working Drawings are inconsistent with the Final Space Plan and only
if Tenant delivers to Landlord, within such five (5) business day period,
specific changes proposed by Tenant which are consistent with the Final Space
Plan, and do not constitute changes which would result in any of the
circumstances described in items (i) through (iv) below. If any such
revisions are timely and properly proposed by Tenant, Landlord shall cause its
architect and engineers to revise the Working Drawings to incorporate such
revisions and submit the same for Tenant’s approval in accordance with the
foregoing
Exhibit F, Page 1
provisions,
and the parties shall follow the foregoing procedures for approving the Working
Drawings until the same are finally approved by Landlord and
Tenant. Upon Landlord’s and Tenant’s approval of the Working
Drawings, the same shall be known as the “Approved Working
Drawings”. Once the Approved Working Drawings have been approved by
Landlord and Tenant, neither party shall make changes, change orders or
modifications thereto without Tenant’s reasonable and prompt consent (with
respect to Landlord requested changes) or the prior written consent of Landlord
(with respect to Tenant requested changes), which consent may be withheld in
Landlord’s sole discretion if such change or modification would: (i)
directly or indirectly delay the Substantial Completion of the Premises; (ii)
increase the cost of designing or constructing the Tenant Improvements above the
cost of the Tenant Improvements depicted in the Final Space Plan; (iii) be of a
quality lower than the quality of the finishes and specifications set forth in
the Final Space Plan; and/or (iv) require any changes to the exterior of the
Building, Building Systems or equipment of the Building or structural portions
of the Building.
4. Performance
of Work. As soon as practicable after Tenant and Landlord
initial a true and complete copy of the Approved Working Drawings, Landlord
shall submit the Approved Working Drawings to the governmental authorities
having rights of approval over the Tenant Improvements and shall apply for the
necessary approvals and building permits. As soon as practicable
after Landlord or its representatives have received all necessary approvals and
building permits, Landlord will put the Approved Working Drawings out for bid to
one or more licensed, bonded and insured general contractors. The
Tenant Improvements shall be constructed by a general contractor selected by
Landlord (the “General Contractor”). Landlord shall commence
construction, or cause the commencement of construction by the General
Contractor, of the Tenant Improvements, as soon as practicable after selection
of the General Contractor.
5. Substantial
Completion. Landlord and Tenant shall cause the General
Contractor to Substantially Complete (defined below) the Tenant Improvements in
accordance with the Approved Working Drawings within a commercially reasonable
time with the intention to attempt to complete such improvements by the
anticipated Commencement Date of the Lease as set forth in the Lease (the “Completion Date”), subject
to delays due to (a) acts or events beyond its control including, but not
limited to, acts of God, earthquakes, strikes, lockouts, boycotts, casualties,
discontinuance of any utility or other service required for performance of the
Tenant Improvements, moratoriums, governmental agencies, delays on the part of
governmental agencies and weather, (b) the lack of availability or shortage of
specialized materials used in the construction of the Tenant Improvements, (c)
any matters beyond the control of Landlord, the General Contractor or any
subcontractors, (d) any changes required by the fire department, building and/or
planning department, building inspectors or any other agency having jurisdiction
over the Building, and/or the Tenant Improvements (except to the extent such
changes are directly attributable to Tenant’s use or Tenant’s specialized tenant
improvements, in which event such delays are considered Tenant Delays) (the
events and matters set forth in Subsections (a), (b), (c) and (d) are
collectively referred to as “Force Majeure
Delays”), or (e) any Tenant Delays (defined in Section 6
below). The Tenant Improvements shall be deemed substantially
complete on the date that the building officials of the applicable governmental
agency(s) issues its final approval of the construction of the Tenant
Improvements whether in the form of the issuance of a final permit, certificate
of occupancy or the written approval evidencing its final inspection on
Exhibit F, Page 2
the
building permit(s) (“Substantial Completion”, or “Substantially Completed”, or
“Substantially Complete”). Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that
the term “Substantial Completion” of the Tenant Improvements as used herein will
not include the completion of any work associated with Tenant’s Installations,
including without limitation, Tenant’s high-pile storage requirements, Tenant’s
racking systems, and work related to any requirements of governmental and
regulatory agencies with respect to any of Tenant’s
Installations. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in the
Lease, if the Tenant Improvements are not deemed to be Substantially Completed
on or before the scheduled Completion Date, (i) Landlord agrees to use
reasonable efforts to Substantially Complete the Tenant Improvements as soon as
practicable thereafter, (ii) the Lease shall remain in full force and effect,
(iii) Landlord shall not be deemed to be in breach or default of the Lease or
this document as a result thereof and Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant
as a result of any delay in occupancy (whether for damages, abatement of all or
any portion of the Rent, or otherwise), and (iv) except in the event of any
Tenant Delays, which will not affect the Commencement Date but will extend the
Completion Date without any penalty or liability to Landlord. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, the Commencement Date and the
Expiration Date of the Term of the Lease (as defined in the Lease) shall be
extended commensurately by the amount of time attributable to Force Majeure
Delays (but the Commencement Date and Expiration Date shall not be extended due
to any Tenant Delays), and Landlord and Tenant shall execute a written amendment
to the Lease evidencing such extensions of time. In the event that
any punch list items remain after Substantial Completion has been achieved,
Landlord, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, shall use reasonable commercial
efforts to complete, or cause to be completed, all such punch list items after
they are identified to Landlord by Tenant in reasonable detail.
6. Tenant
Delays. There shall be no extension of the intended (and
therefore actual) Commencement Date or Expiration Date of the Term of the Lease
(as otherwise permissibly extended in accordance with the provisions of Section
5 above) if the Tenant Improvements have not been Substantially Completed by the
scheduled Commencement Date due to any delay attributable to Tenant and/or any
of the Tenant Entities or Tenant’s intended particular use or specialized tenant
improvements of the Premises (collectively, “Tenant Delays”), including, but not
limited to, any of the following described events or occurrences: (a) delays
related to changes made or requested by Tenant to the Tenant Improvements and/or
the Approved Working Drawings; (b) the failure of Tenant to furnish all or any
plans, drawings, specifications, finish details or other information required
under Section 3 above; (c) Tenant’s requirements for special work or materials,
finishes, or installations other than as described in the Final Space Plan or
Tenant’s requirements for special construction or phasing; (d) any changes
required by the fire department, building or planning department, building
inspectors or any other agency having jurisdiction over the Building and/or the
Tenant Improvements if such changes are directly attributable to Tenant’s
particular use or Tenant’s specialized tenant improvements; (e) the completion
of any work associated with Tenant’s Installations, including without
limitation, Tenant’s high-pile storage requirements, Tenant’s racking systems,
and work related to any requirements of governmental and regulatory agencies
with respect to any of Tenant’s Installations; (f) the performance of any
additional work pursuant to a change request that is requested by Tenant; (g)
the performance of work in or about the Premises by any person, firm or
corporation employed by or on behalf of Tenant, including, without limitation,
any failure to
Exhibit F, Page 3
complete
or any delay in the completion of such work; and/or (h) any and all delays
caused by or arising from acts or omissions of Tenant and/or the Tenant’
Entities, in any manner whatsoever, including, but not limited to, any and all
revisions to the Approved Working Drawings. Any delays in the
construction of the Tenant Improvements due to any of the Tenant Delays, shall
in no way extend or affect the date on which Tenant is required to commence
paying Rent under the terms of the Lease and the Commencement Date of the Lease
shall occur as if such delays had not occurred and in such event Tenant shall
not be allowed to actually occupy the Premises until Substantial Completion of
the Tenant Improvements notwithstanding that the Commencement Date (and/or Rent
schedules) have begun. It is the intention of the parties that Tenant
shall be wholly and completely responsible for any and all consequences related
to Tenant Delays, including, without limitation, any costs and expenses
attributable to increases in labor or materials and Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, within ten (10) business days following written demand therefor, all
costs and expenses arising from or related to such Tenant Delays.
7. Termination. If
the Lease is terminated prior to the Completion Date, for any reason due to the
default of Tenant hereunder, in addition to any other remedies available to
Landlord under the Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent under
the Lease, within five (5) days of receipt of a statement therefor, any and all
costs incurred by Landlord and not reimbursed or otherwise paid by Tenant
through the date of termination in connection with the Tenant Improvements to
the extent planned, installed and/or constructed as of such date of termination,
including, but not limited to, any costs related to the removal of all or any
portion of the Tenant Improvements and restoration costs related
thereto. Subject to the provisions of the Lease, upon the expiration
or earlier termination of the Lease, Tenant shall not be permitted to remove the
Tenant Improvements it being the intention of the parties that the Tenant
Improvements are to be considered incorporated into the
Building. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
Landlord shall have the right to terminate the Lease, upon written notice to
Tenant, if Landlord, despite its reasonable commercial efforts, is unable to
obtain a building permit for the Tenant Improvements within ninety (90) days
from the date the Lease is signed by Tenant. From and after the date
on which the Lease is terminated, Tenant and Landlord shall have no further
rights, obligations or claims with respect to each other arising from the Lease,
except for those obligations of Tenant under the Lease which expressly survive
and continue after the termination or expiration of the Lease and except for the
obligation of Landlord to promptly repay to Tenant all amounts previously paid
to Landlord by Tenant and return the Letter of Credit.
8. Tenant
Access. Landlord shall grant Tenant a license to have access
to the Premises thirty (30) business days prior to the anticipated Completion
Date to allow Tenant to do other work required by Tenant to make the Premises
ready for Tenant’s use and (the “Tenant’s Pre-Occupancy Work”). It
shall be a condition to the grant by Landlord and continued effectiveness of
such license that:
(a) Tenant
shall give to Landlord a written request to have such access not less than seven
(7) business days prior to the date on which such proposed access will commence
(the “Access Notice”). The Access Notice shall contain or be
accompanied by each of the following items, all in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to Landlord: (i) a detailed description of and schedule
for Tenant’s Pre-Occupancy Work; (ii) the names and addresses of all
contractors,
Exhibit F, Page 4

specifications pertaining to Tenant’s Pre-Occupancy Work; (iv) copies of all

costs, expenses, penalties, fines, and damages which may arise in connection
with Tenant’s Pre-Occupancy Work.
(b) Such
pre-term access by Tenant and Tenant Entities shall be subject to the reasonable
scheduling needs of Landlord so that Tenant’s pre-term access shall not
interfere with the construction of the Tenant Improvements.
(c) Tenant
Entities shall fully cooperate, work in harmony and not, in any manner,
interfere with Landlord or Landlord’s agents or representatives in performing
the Tenant Improvements and any additional work, Landlord’s work in other areas
of the Building or the Property, or the general operation of the
Building. If at any time any such person representing Tenant shall
not be cooperative or shall otherwise cause or threaten to cause any such
disharmony or interference, including, without limitation, labor disharmony, and
Tenant fails, after receipt of Landlord’s written notice describing in
reasonable detail the objectionable action and identifying the person or person
guilty thereof, to institute and maintain corrective actions within a
commercially reasonable period of time as directed by Landlord, then Landlord
may revoke such license upon twenty-four (24) hours’ prior written notice to
Tenant.
(d) Any
such entry into and occupancy of the Premises or any portion thereof by Tenant
or any person or entity working for or on behalf of Tenant shall be deemed to be
subject to all of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of the Lease,
excluding only the covenant to pay Rent. Except to the extent
attributable to Landlord’s active (but not passive) negligence or willful
misconduct, Landlord shall not be liable for any injury, loss or damage that may
occur to any of Tenant’s Pre-Occupancy Work made in or about the Premises or to
any property placed therein prior to the commencement of the Term of the Lease,
the same being at Tenant’s sole risk and liability. Tenant shall be
liable to Landlord for any damage to any portion of the Premises, the Tenant
Improvements or any additional work caused by Tenant or Tenant
Entities. In the event that the performance of Tenant’s Pre-Occupancy
Work causes extra costs to be incurred by Landlord or requires the use of other
Building services, Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for such extra costs
and/or shall pay Landlord for such other Building services at Landlord’s
standard rates then in effect.

Option
to Extend
This
Addendum (the “Addendum”) is incorporated as a part of that certain Industrial
Lease dated February 26, 2009 (the “Lease”), by and between Headlands Realty
Corporation, a Maryland corporation (“Landlord”), and MIPS Technologies, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (“Tenant”), for the leasing of those certain premises
commonly known as 000 X. Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, as more particularly
described in Exhibit
A to the Lease (the “Premises”). Any capitalized terms used
herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such
terms as set forth in the Lease.
1. Grant of
Extension Option. Subject to the
provisions, limitations and conditions set forth in Paragraph 5 below, Tenant
shall have an Option (“Option”) to extend the initial term of the Lease for five
(5) years (the “Extended Term”). Such Option shall be applicable to
all of the Premises (as such Premises may have been expanded pursuant to
Addendum 4 attached to the Lease) but not less than all of such Premises (as
such Premises may have been expanded pursuant to Addendum 4 attached to the
Lease).
2. Tenant’s
Option Notice. Tenant shall have
the right to deliver written notice to Landlord of its intent to exercise this
Option (the “Option Notice”). If Landlord does not receive the Option
Notice from Tenant on a date which is neither more than eighteen (18) months nor
less than twelve (12) months prior to the end of the initial term of the Lease,
all rights under this Option shall automatically terminate and shall be of no
further force or effect. Upon the proper exercise of this Option,
subject to the provisions, limitations and conditions set forth in Paragraph 5
below, the initial term of the Lease shall be extended for the Extended
Term.
3. Establishing
the Initial Monthly Base Rent for the Extended Term. The initial
monthly Base Rent for the Extended Term shall be equal to ninety five percent
(95%) of the then Fair Market Rental Rate, as hereinafter defined. As
used herein, the “Fair Market Rental Rate” payable by Tenant for the Extended
Term shall mean the Base Rent for comparable space at which non-equity tenants,
as of the commencement of the lease term for the Extended Term, will be leasing
non-sublease, non-equity, unencumbered space comparable in size, location and
quality to the Premises for a comparable term, which comparable space is located
in the Building and in other comparable buildings in the vicinity of the
Building, taking into consideration the condition and value of existing tenant
improvements in the Premises. The Fair Market Rental Rate shall
include the periodic rental increases that would be included for space leased
for the period of the Extended Term.
Neither
Landlord nor Tenant shall have the right to have a court or any other third
party entity establish the Fair Market Rental Rate. If Landlord and
Tenant are unable to agree on the Fair Market Rental Rate for the Extended Term
within ten (10) days of receipt by Landlord of the Option Notice, Landlord and
Tenant being obligated only to act in good faith, this Option shall
automatically terminate and the Lease shall terminate at the end of its initial
term.
Upon
determination of the initial monthly Base Rent for the Extended Term in
accordance with the terms outlined above, Landlord and Tenant shall immediately
execute an amendment to this
Addendum 2, Page 1
Lease. Such
amendment shall set forth among other things, the initial monthly Base Rent for
the Extended Term and the actual commencement date and expiration date of the
Extended Term. Tenant shall have no other right to extend the term of
the Lease under this Addendum unless Landlord and Tenant otherwise agree in
writing.
4. Condition
of Premises and Brokerage Commissions for the Extended Term. If Tenant timely
and properly exercises this Option, in strict accordance with the terms
contained herein: (1) Tenant shall accept the Premises in its then
“As-Is” condition and, accordingly, Landlord shall not be required to perform
any additional improvements to the Premises; and (2) Tenant hereby agrees that
Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability for any and all brokerage
commissions and finder’s fees payable to any broker now or hereafter procured or
hired by Tenant or who otherwise claims a commission in connection with the
Option, and Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord free and harmless
against any liability, claim, judgment, or damages with respect thereto,
including attorneys’ fees and costs.
5. Limitations
On, and Conditions To, Extension Option. This Option is
personal to Tenant and may not be assigned, voluntarily or involuntarily,
separate from or as part of the Lease. At Landlord’s option, all
rights of Tenant under this Option shall terminate and be of no force or effect
if any of the following individual events exist when the Option Notice is
delivered to Landlord: (1) Tenant is in Default of the Lease on the
date Landlord receives the Option Notice; and/or (2) except to an Affiliate,
Tenant has assigned its rights and obligations under all or part of the Lease or
Tenant has subleased more than 20% of the Premises; and/or (3) Tenant’s
financial condition is reasonably unacceptable to Landlord; and/or (4) Tenant
has failed to exercise properly this Option in a timely manner in strict
accordance with the provisions of this Addendum; and/or (5) Tenant or an
Affiliate of Tenant no longer has possession of at least 80% of the Premises
under the Lease, or if the Lease has been terminated earlier, pursuant to the
terms and provisions of the Lease.
6. Time is
of the Essence. Time is of the
essence with respect to each and every time period described in this
Addendum.

Right
of First Refusal
This
Addendum (the “Addendum”) is incorporated as a part of that certain Industrial
Lease dated February 26, 2009 (the “Lease”), by and between Headlands Realty
Corporation, a Maryland corporation (“Landlord”), and MIPS Technologies, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (“Tenant”), for the leasing of those certain premises
commonly known as 000 X. Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, as more particularly
described in Exhibit
A to the Lease (the “Premises”). Any capitalized terms used
herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such
terms as set forth in the Lease.
1. Right of
First Refusal for Adjacent Premises. During the first thirty
six (36) months of the initial Term of the Lease only, Tenant shall have a
one-time first right of refusal to lease (the “Right of First Refusal”) all or
any portion of the building adjacent to the Premises commonly known as 000
X. Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx (the “Expansion
Space”). Tenant’s Right of First Refusal, as granted herein, is
subject to the following conditions:
1.1
|
The
Right of First Refusal shall be void if, at the time of exercise of the
Right of First Refusal, Tenant is in Default under the
Lease;
|
1.2
|
The
Right of First Refusal shall be subject to Landlord’s review and approval
of Tenant’s then current financial condition;
and
|
1.3.
|
The
Right of First Refusal shall be subject and subordinate to the rights and
options of any tenants leasing any portion of the Expansion
Space.
|
So long
as the above conditions are satisfied, and upon Landlord’s receipt of a third
party offer to lease all or any portion of the Expansion Space which offer
Landlord is willing to accept, Landlord will notify Tenant thereof, in writing
(“Landlord’s Notice”), stating all material terms on which Landlord proposes to
lease such Expansion Space to Tenant and Tenant shall have five (5) business
days after delivery of such notice to notify Landlord, in writing (the “Election
Notice”), of Tenant’s election to lease all the Expansion Space then offered to
Tenant upon all of the terms and conditions as specified in Landlord’s Notice
without any deviation in such terms. If Tenant fails to notify
Landlord of Tenant’s election to lease all the Expansion Space then offered to
Tenant within the time specified herein, it shall be deemed that (i) Tenant has
elected not to lease said Expansion Space; (ii) Landlord may thereafter enter
into a lease agreement with a third party; and (iii) all rights of Tenant in and
to this Right of First Refusal shall terminate and thereafter be of no further
force or effect. Time is of the essence herein.
2. Terms. In
the event Tenant properly and timely exercises this Right of First Refusal as
herein provided, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a non-refundable deposit in
the amount equivalent to one month’s Base Rent for the Expansion Space, and the
parties shall have ten (10) business days after Landlord receives the Election
Notice from Tenant in which to execute an amendment to this Lease setting forth
the terms upon which Tenant shall lease such Expansion Space, as set forth in
Paragraph 1 above. Such amendment to this Lease, shall provide for,
among other things, the addition of the Expansion Space to the Premises, the
adjustment of the Base Rent and Tenant’s Share. Upon full execution
of an amendment for the Expansion Space, the
Addendum 4, Page 1
non-refundable
deposit shall be credited toward Base Rent for the Expansion Space, as agreed
upon by the parties. If the parties fail to timely execute and
deliver such amendment, Landlord shall retain the non-refundable deposit and
Tenant shall have no rights, title or interest
therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall return to
Tenant the non-refundable deposit if in the amendment to the Lease Landlord
solely (and without Tenant’s consent or approval) deviates from the terms
proposed by Landlord for the leasing of the Expansion Space to Tenant as set
forth in Landlord’s Notice.
3. Termination. The
Right of First Refusal shall automatically terminate and become null and void
upon the earlier to occur of (i) any Default of Tenant under this Lease; (ii)
the termination of Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises; (iii) the
assignment, by Tenant of this Lease, in whole or in part, regardless of whether
Landlord consents to such assignment; (iv) the sublease, by Tenant of all or any
part of the Premises demised under the Lease, regardless of whether Landlord
consents to such sublease; (v) the recapture by Landlord of any space under
Paragraph 12.5 of the Lease; or (vi) the failure of Tenant to timely or properly
exercise the Right of First Refusal as contemplated herein. This
Right of First Refusal is personal to Tenant and shall not be assigned,
voluntarily or involuntarily, separate from or as part of the
Lease.

straight line basis and (ii) the then unamortized cost of the Tenant
Improvements amortized on a straight line basis (as defined in Exhibit

addition to payment by Tenant of the Fee); (ii) neither party shall have any
rights, estates, liabilities, or obligations under the Lease for the period
accruing after the Termination Date, except those which, by the provisions of
the Lease, expressly survive the expiration or termination of the Term of the

possession thereof to Landlord on or before the Termination Date in the
condition required under the Lease for surrender of the Premises; and (iv)
Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a written agreement reflecting the
termination of the Lease upon the terms provided for herein, which agreement
shall be executed within thirty (30) days after Tenant exercises the Termination
Option and delivers to Landlord the written notice and Fee required
above. It is the parties’ intention that nothing contained herein
shall impair, diminish or otherwise prevent Landlord from recovering from Tenant
such additional sums as may be necessary for payment of Tenant’s Share of
Operating Expenses, Real Property Taxes and any other sums due and payable under
the Lease which accrued on or prior to the Termination Date, including without
limitation, any sums required to repair any damage to the Premises and/or
restore the Premises to the condition required under the provisions of the
Lease.

(20%) of the Premises demised under the Lease, regardless of whether Landlord
consents to such sublease; (v) the recapture by Landlord of any space under
Paragraph 12.5 of the Lease; or (vi) the failure of Tenant to timely or properly
exercise the Termination Option as contemplated herein. This
