ARTICLE III – TERM
Section 3.1. Term. The Term shall commence on the Commencement Date and shall end on the Termination Date, unless sooner terminated as set forth in this Lease.
Section 3.2. Option to Extend.
X. Xxxxx and Exercise of Options. Provided that (i) no default has occurred and is then continuing, Tenant shall have the options (each an "Extension Option") to extend the Lease Term for two (2) additional periods of five (5) years each (each an "Extension Term"). The Extension Terms shall be upon the same terms and conditions contained in the Lease except (x) this provision giving the Extension Option shall be deleted after the second Extension Option is exercised, (y) any construction obligations, allowances, rent abatements or other concessions applicable to the Leased Premises under the Lease shall not apply to the Extension Terms, and (z) the Base Rent for each year of the Extension Terms shall be adjusted as set forth below (the "Base Rent Modification"). Tenant shall exercise the Extension Options by delivering to Landlord, no later than two hundred seventy (270) days prior to the expiration of the then existing Term or initial Extension Term, as applicable, and no more than three hundred sixty-five (365) days prior to the expiration of the then existing Term or Extension Term. Tenant's failure to timely exercise such option shall be deemed a waiver of the Extension Option(s).
B. Base Rent Modification Determination. Landlord shall notify Tenant of the amount of the Base Rent Modification no later than one hundred fifty (150) days prior to the commencement of each Extension Term. Tenant shall have thirty (30) days following its receipt of Landlord's notice to notify Landlord in writing that Tenant objects to the Base Rent Modification and that Tenant elects to determine the Base Rent Modification through an appraisal process. If Tenant elects to determine the Base Rent Modification through an
992596_11 3
appraisal process, the Base Rent Modification shall be determined in accordance with the appraisal process set forth in subsection D below. If Tenant fails to notify Landlord of such election within said thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the Base Rent Modification set forth in Landlord's notice to Tenant.
A. Rent Adjustment. The minimum annual Base Rent for each Extension Term shall be an amount equal to the Base Rent then being quoted on comparable buildings (e.g., buildings of comparable age, physical condition, number of stories, total size, comparable location) in the Orange County, California market, taking into account all financial terms, including without limitation, base rent, annual escalations and leasing and brokerage commissions; provided, however, that in no event shall the Base Rent during the first year of each Extension Term be less than 100% of the highest Base Rent payable during the immediately preceding Term or Extension Term, as applicable, with three percent (3%) increases on each anniversary of the first day of the applicable Extension Term ("Floor"). The monthly Base Rent shall be an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual Base Rent for the applicable Extension Term and shall be paid at the same time and in the same manner as provided in the Lease.
B. Appraisal Process. If, pursuant to subsection A above, Tenant elects to determine the Base Rent Modification through an appraisal process, the Base Rent Modification shall be determined as follows:
(1) Selection of Appraisers. Landlord and Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after Landlord's receipt of Tenant's election, each select an appraiser to determine the Base Rent Modification for the Premises. Each appraiser so selected shall be either an MAI appraiser or a licensed real estate broker, each having at least ten (10) years prior experience in the appraisal or leasing of comparable space in the metropolitan area in which the Premises are located and with a working knowledge of current rental rates and practices. If either party fails to appoint an appraiser within the ten (10) day period, the appraiser appointed by the other party shall make the determination of the Base Rent Modification within the subsequent fifteen (15) days and shall provide such appraisal to Landlord and Tenant, and in such event, such appraisal shall serve as a final determination of the Base Rent Modification.
(2) Appraisal. Upon selection, Landlord's and Tenant's appraisers shall work together in good faith to agree upon the Base Rent Modification. The estimate chosen by such appraisers shall be binding on both Landlord and Tenant. If the two appraisers cannot agree upon the Base Rent Modification for the Premises for each year of the Extension Term within twenty (20) days after their appointment, then, within ten (10) days after the expiration of such twenty (20) day period, the two appraisers shall select a third appraiser meeting the above criteria. Once the third appraiser has been selected as provided for above, then such third appraiser shall within ten (10) days after appointment make its determination of which of the appraisers' two estimates most closely reflects Base Rent Modification for each year
992596_11 4
of the Extension Term and such estimate shall be binding on both Landlord and Tenant as the Base Rent Modification for the Extension Term. The parties shall share equally in the costs of the third arbitrator. If the Base Rent Modification determined by the appraisers is less than the Floor, Base Rent shall be the highest Base Rent payable during the immediately preceding term.
C. Condition. Tenant agrees to accept the Premises to be covered by this Lease during each Extension Term in an "as is" physical condition, and Tenant shall not be entitled to receive any allowance, credit, concession or payment from Landlord for the improvement thereof or otherwise.
D. Amendment. In the event Tenant exercises either or both of the Extension Options, then Landlord and Tenant shall mutually execute and deliver an amendment to this Lease reflecting the extension of the Term and the Base Rent for such Extension Term.
E. Termination. The Extension Options herein granted shall automatically terminate upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the expiration or termination of this Lease; (ii) the termination of Tenant's right to possession of the Premises; (iii) any assignment of the Lease by Tenant or (iv) the failure of Tenant to timely or properly exercise any Extension Option.
ARTICLE IV – CONDITION OF PREMISES
Section 4.1. Disclaimer Regarding Premises. Landlord and Tenant shall arrange for an inspection of the Premises within five (5) business days after the Commencement Date to determine any defects in the condition of the Premises that are not set forth in Exhibit E attached hereto. In the event that Landlord and Tenant determine that there are any such additional defects in the condition of the Premises, they shall note same in an inspection report ("Move in Condition Report") to be prepared by the parties. Tenant agrees to accept the Premises in an absolutely "as is" condition, including, but not limited to, any conditions noted in the Move in Condition Report. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord, its agents, attorneys, representatives and employees have not and do not make any representations or warranties, express or implied, to Tenant regarding the Premises or the Project.
ARTICLE V – RENT
Section 5.1. Base Rent. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, monthly in advance, without offset or deduction, base rent for the Term ("Base Rent") in the amount of the Monthly Base Rent set forth in the Base Rent Schedule commencing on the Commencement Date and continuing on the first day of each month thereafter for the balance of the Term. In addition thereto, Tenant shall pay all such other amounts as are described in this Lease as "Additional Rent" in the manner and at the time specified in this Lease. The term "Rent" when used in this Lease shall include all Base Rent, as well as all Additional Rent. All Rent payable hereunder shall be payable to Landlord at Landlord's Address for Payment of Rent, or as Landlord may otherwise from time to time designate in writing by notice to Tenant.

992596_11 5
Section 5.2. Base Rent Adjustment. In addition to the Base Rent, commencing on the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the Rent Adjustments (hereinafter defined), without offset or deduction. Until such time as Tenant receives the first Adjustment Statement (hereinafter defined), Tenant shall, commencing on the Commencement Date and on the first day of each and every month thereafter, make the Initial Monthly Rent Adjustment Deposit.
A. For the purposes of this Lease:
(1) "Calendar Year" means each calendar year or a portion thereof during the Term.
(2) "Declaration" means any recorded declaration of covenants, easements or restrictions, or similar recorded instrument, that may affect the Project.
(3) "Expenses" means and includes all expenses paid or incurred by Landlord for owning, managing, maintaining, operating, replacing and repairing the Project and personal property used in conjunction therewith (provided all such shall be subject to the provisions set forth on Exhibit E attached hereto), a management fee in an amount equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of all Base Rent, Insurance Expenses and Taxes for the Project and any pass-throughs for maintenance and repair of roof, parking lot and HVAC by Landlord, whether the management services are performed by Landlord, an affiliate of Landlord, or by a third party, including any Park Expenses and any costs of enforcing Tenant's obligation hereunder.
(4) "Insurance Expenses" shall mean and include all actual costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with insuring the Project.
(5) "Park" shall mean any real property of which the Project is a part as covered by any Declaration.
(6) "Park Expenses" shall mean and include all actual and reasonable assessments and other expenses, including any management fee, actually charged or imposed relating to the Project pursuant to any Declaration.
(7) "Rent Adjustments" means all amounts owed by Tenant as Additional Rent on account of Expenses, Insurance Expenses or Taxes.
(8) "Rent Adjustment Deposit" means an amount equal to Landlord's estimate of Rent Adjustments due for any Calendar Year, which estimate may be made from time to time during the Term.
(9) "Taxes" means any taxes, assessments, sewer rents, rates and charges, transit taxes, taxes based upon the receipt of rent, and any other federal, state or local governmental charge, general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, which now or hereafter accrue during the Term and are levied or assessed or become a lien against the Project or any portion thereof, this Lease or any Rent payable under this Lease
992596_11 6
in any Calendar Year and any tax in substitution of any of the foregoing. Taxes also include Landlord's reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) in contesting or attempting to reduce any taxes.
B. Commencing on the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to the Landlord as Additional Rent Tenant's Proportion of Expenses, Insurance Expenses and Taxes attributable to each Calendar Year. The amount of Taxes attributable to a Calendar Year shall be the amount assessed for such Calendar Year, even though the assessment for such Taxes may be payable in a different Calendar Year. Notwithstanding the above, as long as Tenant is not in default hereunder, if Landlord decides not to protest the Taxes in any year, Tenant shall have the right to protest or appeal the amount of any property tax or assessment on the Premises as long as Tenant uses a consultant or attorney reasonably acceptable to Landlord and follows applicable procedures for doing so and as long as any required deposit is paid by Tenant during the pendency of such protest or appeal. In the event that Taxes are reduced as a result of a portion of the Building being vacant, Landlord may equitably adjust the Taxes payable by Tenant so that Landlord receives the full benefit of the vacancy factor relating to the portion of the Building that is vacant.
C. As soon as reasonably feasible after the end of each Calendar Year, Landlord will furnish Tenant a statement ("Adjustment Statement") showing the following:
(1) Expenses, Insurance Expenses and Taxes for such Calendar Year and the amount of Expenses, Insurance Expenses and Taxes paid by Tenant during such Calendar Year;
(2) The total amount of Rent Adjustments due Landlord for such Calendar Year, less credits for Rent Adjustment Deposits paid, if any; and
(3) The Rent Adjustment Deposit due in the current Calendar Year.
D. Within thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of each Adjustment Statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord:
(1) The amount of Rent Adjustment shown on the Adjustment Statement as due to Landlord for the Calendar Year last ended; plus
(2) The amount, which when added to the Rent Adjustment Deposit theretofore paid in the current Calendar Year, would provide that Landlord has then received such portion of the Rent Adjustment Deposit as would have theretofore been paid to Landlord had Tenant paid one-twelfth (1/12) of the Rent Adjustment Deposit, for the current Calendar Year, to Landlord monthly on the first day of each month of such Calendar Year.
Commencing on the first day of the first month after Tenant's receipt of each Adjustment Statement, and on the first day of each month thereafter until Tenant receives a more current Adjustment Statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Rent Adjustment
992596_11 7
Deposit shown on the then-current Adjustment Statement, as adjusted for any credit from overpayments during the prior year. During the last complete Calendar Year, Landlord may include in the Rent Adjustment Deposit its estimate of the Rent Adjustment which may not be finally determined until after the expiration of the Term. Tenant's obligation to pay the Rent Adjustment shall survive the expiration or termination of the Term, and Landlord's obligation to settle up and reimburse any overpayments shall survive the expiration or termination of the Term.
E. If the Commencement Date is on any day other than the first (1st) day of January or if the last day of the Term is on any day other than the last day of December, then any Rent Adjustments due Landlord shall be prorated for the applicable calendar year. All Rent Adjustment Deposits may be commingled, and no interest shall be paid to Tenant thereon.
Section 5.3. Interest Charge and Late Charge. Tenant acknowledges that its late payment of any Rent will cause Landlord to incur certain costs and expenses not contemplated under this Lease, the exact amount of which is extremely difficult or impractical to fix. Therefore, if any payment of Rent, or any portion thereof, is not received by Landlord when due, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the unpaid amount. In addition, if any overdue payment of Rent is not paid within one (1) month of the due date thereof, an additional late charge equal to two percent (2%) of the unpaid amount may be charged by Landlord, and Landlord may charge an additional two percent (2%) of any overdue and unpaid amount for each additional month, or fraction thereof, during which any such payment remains past due. Landlord and Tenant agree that the foregoing late charges represent reasonable estimates of costs and expenses incurred by Landlord from, and are fair compensation to Landlord for, its loss suffered by such late payment by Tenant.
Any amount due from Tenant to Landlord under this Lease, other than the payment of Rent, not paid when due shall bear interest from the date when the same is payable under the terms of this Lease until the same shall be paid at a rate of interest equal to eighteen percent (18%) per annum (the "Delinquency Rate").
ARTICLE VI – UTILITIES
Section 6.1. Utilities. Tenant shall pay, directly to the appropriate supplier, all costs of natural gas, electricity, heat, light, power, sewer service, telephone, water, refuse disposal and other utilities and services supplied to the Premises. If at any time, any services or utilities are jointly metered, Landlord shall make a reasonable determination of Tenant's share thereof and Tenant shall pay its share, as Additional Rent, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord and the utility service providers at all times and, as reasonably necessary, shall allow access to the Premises' electric lines, feeders, risers, wiring, and any other machinery within the Premises.
Landlord shall in no way be liable or responsible for any loss, damage, or expense that Tenant may sustain or incur by reason of any change, failure, interference, disruption, defect, unavailability or unsuitability in the supply or character of any utility or service furnished to the
992596_11 8
Premises, and no such change, failure, interference disruption, defect, unavailability, or unsuitability shall relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease.
Tenant shall provide Landlord monthly data relating to utility usage and service at the Premises on an annual basis within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar year and at such other times reasonably requested by Landlord.

In such event, provided that: (a) the fire or casualty was not caused by the act or neglect of Tenant, its agents or employees and (b) the fire or casualty rendered the Premises or a portion thereof unusable; then Rent shall xxxxx beginning with the date of the fire or casualty and ending on the date Landlord tenders the Premises to Tenant.

Section 14.6. No Release of Liability.

Section 21.1. Landlord's Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, Landlord may, at its election, exercise any one or more of the following described remedies, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided at law, in equity or elsewhere herein:
A. Landlord shall have the immediate option to terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder by giving Tenant written notice of such intention to terminate,
992596_11 20
in which event Landlord may recover from Tenant all of the following: (i) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of such termination; plus (ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss Tenant proves reasonably could have been avoided; plus (iii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves reasonably could be avoided; plus (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease, including, but not limited to: attorneys' fees; brokers' commissions; the costs of refurbishment, alterations, renovation and repair of the Premises; and removal (including the repair of any damage caused by such removal) and storage (or disposal) of Tenant's Property, equipment, fixtures, alterations and any other items which Tenant is required under this Lease to remove but does not remove; plus (v) 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 California law. As used in (i) and (ii) above, the "worth at the time of award" shall be computed by allowing interest at the lesser of twelve percent (12%) per annum or the maximum lawful rate of interest permitted by applicable law. As used in (iii) above, the "worth at the time award" shall be 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%).
B. Landlord shall also have the right, with or without terminating this Lease, to re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises. Subject to the terms of any agreement between Landlord, Tenant and Tenant's lender, such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant.
C. In the event Landlord elects to re-enter the Premises under Section 21.1.B above or takes possession of the Premises pursuant to any proceedings or notice provided by law or Tenant vacates or abandons the Premises, but Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease as provided in this Section 21.1, Landlord may from time to time without terminating this Lease either recover from Tenant all Rent as it becomes due (pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1951.4) and Landlord shall take commercially reasonable efforts to relet the Premises or any part thereof upon such terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable, with the right of Landlord to make alterations and repairs to the Premises. In the event of any such reletting, rental and other charges received by Landlord therefrom shall be applied in the following order: (i) to the payment of any indebtedness other than Rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord, (ii) to the payment of all costs of such reletting, (iii) to the payment of the costs of any alterations and repairs to the Premises, and (iv) the payment of Rent and other charges due and unpaid hereunder. The residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future Rent and other charges due hereunder, as the same may become due, or returned to Tenant at the end of the Term. In the event the rental and other charges received by Landlord from all such reletting are at any time less than the then aggregate of (i) through (iv) above, Tenant
992596_11 21
shall pay such deficiency to Landlord immediately upon demand therefor, but not more often than monthly.
D. No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to this Section 21.1 shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention shall be given to Tenant or unless such termination shall be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction and Landlord may enforce all of Landlord's rights and remedies hereunder, without limitation, the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue the lease in effect after lessee's breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). 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.
E. In any action for unlawful detainer commenced by Landlord against Tenant by reason of any Event of Default, the reasonable rental value of the Premises for the periods of the unlawful detainer shall be the amount of Rent reserved in this Lease for such period, unless Landlord or Tenant shall provide to the contrary by competent evidence. The rights and remedies reserved to Landlord herein, including those not specifically described, shall be cumulative, and except as otherwise provided by then applicable California law, Landlord may pursue any or all of such rights and remedies at the same time or otherwise.
No such re-entry or taking of possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on Landlord's part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention signed by or on behalf of Landlord is given to Tenant. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for a previous Event of Default by Tenant. Should Landlord at any time terminate this Lease for any Event of Default, in addition to any other remedies Landlord may have, Landlord may recover from Tenant all damages Landlord may incur by reason of such default, including, but not limited to, the cost of recovering the Premises and reasonable attorneys' fees, all of which amounts shall be immediately due and payable from Tenant to Landlord. Pursuit of any of the foregoing remedies shall not preclude pursuit of any of the other remedies herein provided or any other remedies provided by law or in equity, nor shall pursuit of any remedy herein or otherwise provided constitute a forfeiture or waiver of any Rent due to Landlord hereunder or of any damages accruing to Landlord by reason of the violation of any of the terms, provisions or covenants herein contained. The loss or damage that Landlord may suffer by reason of termination of this Lease or the deficiency from any repossession and/or reletting as provided for above shall include the expense of repossession and any repairs or remodeling undertaken by Landlord following repossession. All interest and any late charges imposed pursuant to this Lease shall be considered Additional Rent due from Tenant under the terms of this Lease.
Section 21.2. Survival of Tenant Obligations. No termination of this Lease and no taking possession of and/or reletting the Premises or any part thereof, shall relieve Tenant of its liabilities and obligations hereunder, except as specifically provided herein, and all of Tenant's
992596_11 22
liabilities and obligations under this Lease shall survive such expiration, termination, repossession or reletting except as otherwise specifically provided.
Section 21.3. Tenant Waiver. To the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, Tenant hereby waives and releases all rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise which would have the effect of limiting or modifying any of the provisions of this Article XXI. No failure by either party to insist upon the strict performance by the other party of any covenant, agreement, term or condition of this Lease or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, and no payment or acceptance of full or partial Rent during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of such covenant, agreement, term or condition. No covenant, agreement, term or condition of this Lease to be performed or completed with by either party, and no breach thereof, shall be waived, altered or modified except by a written instrument executed by the other party. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Lease, but each and every covenant, agreement, term and condition of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach thereof.
Section 21.4. Suits to Recover Damages. Suit or suits for the recovery of damages, or for a sum equal to any installment or installments of Rent payable hereunder or any other sums payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Lease, may be brought by Landlord at any time and from time to time at Landlord's election, and nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require Landlord to await the date whereon this Lease or the Term would have expired had there been no Event of Default.
Section 21.5. Receipt of Payment after Termination. No receipt of moneys by Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease or Tenant's right to possession, or after the giving of any notice of the termination of this Lease or Tenant's right to possession, shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term or affect any notice theretofore given to Tenant, or operate as a waiver of the right of Landlord to enforce the payment of Rent payable by Tenant hereunder or thereafter falling due, or operate as a waiver of the right of Landlord to recover possession of the Premises or any part thereof by proper remedy, it being agreed that after the service of notice to terminate this Lease or Tenant's right to possession or the commencement of any suit or summary proceedings, or after a final order or judgment for the possession of the Premises, or any part thereof or interest therein, Landlord may demand, receive and collect any moneys due or thereafter falling due without in any manner affecting such notice, proceeding, order, suit or judgment, all such moneys collected being deemed payments on account of the Tenant's liability hereunder.
Section 21.6. Cumulative Remedies. No remedy contained herein or otherwise conferred upon or reserved to Landlord, shall be considered exclusive of any other remedy, but the same shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given herein, now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, and every power and remedy given by this Lease to Landlord may be exercised from time to time and as often as occasion may arise or as may be deemed expedient. No delay or omission of Landlord to exercise any right, remedy or power arising from any default shall impair any such right, remedy or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or an acquiescence therein.
992596_11 23

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed by the parties hereto, nor by any third party, as creating the relationship of principal and agent or of partnership, or of joint venture by the parties hereto, it being understood and agreed that no provision contained in this Lease nor any acts of the parties hereto shall be deemed to create any relationship other than the relationship of Landlord and Tenant.
Section 33.6. Brokerage. Tenant warrants that it has no dealings with any real estate broker or agent in connection with this Lease other than Landlord's Broker and Tenant's Broker, if any, and Tenant covenants to pay, hold harmless and indemnify Landlord from and against any and all cost, expense or liability for any compensation, commissions and charges claimed by any other broker or other agent with respect to this Lease or the negotiation thereof arising out of any acts of Tenant. Landlord shall pay the brokerage commission due Landlord's Broker and Tenant's Broker, if any, pursuant to any written agreement between Landlord and such parties.
Section 33.7. No Accord and Satisfaction. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the full amount stipulated herein as then required to be paid by Tenant in respect of Tenant's obligations under this Lease for Rent or any other payments shall be deemed to be other than on account, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment of any such amount be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such amount or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease.
992596_11 35
Section 33.8. Joint Effort. The preparation of this Lease has been a joint effort of the parties hereto and the resulting documents shall not, solely as a matter of judicial construction, be construed more severely against one of the parties than the other.
Section 33.9. Counterclaims. If Landlord commences any proceeding for nonpayment of Rent or any other sum due to be paid by Tenant under this Lease, Tenant hereby agrees that Tenant will not impose any counterclaim of any nature or description in any such proceeding, provided however, that such agreement of Tenant shall not be construed as a waiver of the right of Tenant to assert such claim in a separate action or actions brought by Tenant.
Section 33.10. Time. Time is of the essence of this Lease, and all provisions herein relating thereto shall be strictly construed.
Section 33.11. Landlord's Consent. Landlord's granting of any consent under this Lease, or Landlord's failure to object to any action taken by Tenant without Landlord's consent required under this Lease, shall not be deemed a waiver by Landlord of its rights to require such consent for any further similar act by Tenant. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, with respect to any provision of this Lease which requires Landlord's consent or approval, Tenant shall not be entitled to make, nor shall Tenant make, any claim for (and Tenant hereby waives any claim for) money damages as a result of any claim by Tenant that Landlord has unreasonably withheld or unreasonably delayed any consent or approval, but Tenant's sole remedy shall be an action or proceeding to enforce such provision, or for specific performance, injunction or declaratory judgment.
Section 33.12. Landlord's Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, there shall be absolutely no personal liability asserted or enforceable against Landlord or on any persons, firms or entities who constitute Landlord with respect to any of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this Lease, and Tenant shall, subject to the rights of any mortgagee, look solely to the interest of Landlord, its successors and assigns in the Project for the satisfaction of each and every remedy of Tenant in the event of any default by Landlord hereunder; such exculpation of personal liability is absolute and without any exception whatsoever, except for fraud.
Section 33.13. Landlord Rights. This Lease does not grant any rights to light or air over or about the Premises. Landlord specifically excepts and reserves to itself the use of the roof, the exterior and structural components of the Building, unimproved portions of the Land including landscaped areas, the land and improvements below the improved floor level of the Building, the improvements and air rights above the Building, the improvements and air rights located outside the demising walls of the Building, such areas within the Project required for installation of utility lines and other installations and to such other portions of the Premises necessary to access, maintain, repair or replace same. The foregoing reservation shall not in any way diminish Tenant's obligations under this Lease, including, but not limited to, its obligations to pay Rent and perform all of its obligations under this Lease.
Section 33.14. Entire Agreement. It is understood and agreed that all understandings and agreements heretofore had between the parties hereto are merged in this Lease, the exhibits
992596_11 36
annexed hereto and the instruments and documents referred to herein, which alone fully and completely express their agreements, and that no party hereto is relying upon any statement or representation, not embodied in this Lease, made by the other. Each party expressly acknowledges that, except as expressly provided in this Lease the other party and the agents and representatives of the other party have not made, and the other party is not liable for or bound in any manner by, any express or implied warranties, guaranties, promises, statements, inducements, representations or information pertaining to the transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 33.15. Net Lease. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Lease shall be deemed and construed to be a "net lease" and Tenant agrees to pay all costs and expenses of every kind and nature whatsoever, ordinary and extraordinary, arising out of or in connection with the ownership, maintenance, repair, replacement, use and occupancy of the Premises during the Term, which, except for the execution and delivery hereof, would otherwise have been payable by Landlord.
Section 33.16. Application of Payments. Landlord shall have the exclusive right to determine how, and in what amounts, payments received from Tenant (or any Guarantor) are applied to amounts due and past due hereunder, and such determination shall be conclusive upon the Tenant and any Guarantor.
Section 33.17. Tenant Authority. Tenant represents and warrants that it is duly formed and in good standing, and has full corporate, partnership or limited liability company power and authority, as the case may be, to enter into this Lease and has taken all corporate, partnership or limited liability company action, as the case may be, necessary to carry out the transaction contemplated herein, so that when executed, this Lease constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Tenant enforceable in accordance with its terms.
Section 33.18. Venue. TENANT AND LANDLORD AGREE THAT ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING DIRECTLY, INDIRECTLY OR OTHERWISE IN CONNECTION WITH, OUT OF, RELATED TO OR FROM THIS LEASE SHALL BE LITIGATED ONLY IN COURTS HAVING A SITUS WITHIN THE COUNTY OF ORANGE, STATE OF CALIFORNIA. TENANT AND LANDLORD HEREBY CONSENT AND SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY LOCAL, STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN SAID COUNTY AND STATE. TENANT AND LANDLORD HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRANSFER OR CHANGE THE VENUE OF ANY LITIGATION BROUGHT AGAINST IT BY LANDLORD ON THIS LEASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SUBSECTION.
Section 33.19. Waiver of Trial by Jury. The respective parties hereto shall and 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 connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises, any claim of injury or damage, or the enforcement of any remedy under any statute, emergency or otherwise.
992596_11 37
Section 33.20. Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
Section 33.21. Electronic Signatures. Handwritten signatures to this Lease transmitted by telecopy or electronic transmission (for example, through the use of a Portable Document Format or "PDF" file) shall be valid and effective to bind the parties so signing. It is expressly agreed that each party to this Lease shall be bound by its own telecopied or electronically transmitted handwritten signature and shall accept the telecopy or electronically transmitted handwritten signature of the other party to this Lease. The parties hereto agree that the use of telecopied or electronic signatures for the execution of this Lease shall be legal and binding and shall have the same full force and effect as if originally signed.
Section 33.22. Waiver of California Code Sections. In this Lease, numerous provisions have been negotiated by the parties, some of which provisions are covered by statute. Whenever a provision of this Lease and a provision of any statute or other law cover the same matter, the provisions of this Lease shall control. Therefore, Tenant waives (for itself and all persons claiming under Tenant) the provisions of: (i) Civil Code Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) with respect to the destruction of the Premises; (ii) Civil Code Sections 1941 and 1942 with respect to Landlord's repair duties and Tenant's right to repair; (iii) Code of Civil Procedure Section 1265.130, allowing either party to petition the Superior Court to terminate this Lease in the event of a partial taking of the Premises by condemnation as herein defined; and (iv) any right of redemption or reinstatement of Tenant under any present or future case law or statutory provisions (including Code of Civil Procedure Sections 473 and 1179 and Civil Code Section 3275) in the event Xxxxxxx is dispossessed from the Premises for any reason. This waiver applies to future statutes enacted in addition to or in substitution for the statutes specified herein.
Section 33.23. Disability Accessibility Disclosure. For purposes of Section 1938 of the California Civil Code, as of the date of this Lease, Landlord hereby discloses to Tenant, and Tenant hereby acknowledges, that the Project (including the Premises and the Building) has not been inspected by a Certified Access Specialist ("CASp"). Accordingly, "a CASp can inspect the Project and determine whether the Project complies with all of the applicable construction‑related accessibility standards under state law. Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the Project, Landlord may not prohibit Tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the Project for the occupancy or potential occupancy of Tenant, if requested by Tenant. The parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction‑related accessibility standards within the Project."
