ARTICLE II. PREMISES
SECTION 2.1 LEASED PREMISES. Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from
Landlord the premises shown in Exhibit A (the "Premises"), containing
approximately the floor area set forth in Item 8 of the Basic Lease Provisions
and known by the suite number identified in Item 1 of the Basic Lease
Provisions. The Premises are located in the building identified in Item 1 of the
Basic Lease Provisions (which together with the underlying real property, is
called the "Building"), and is a portion of the project shown in Exhibit Y (the
"Project"). Tenant understands that the floor area set forth in Item 8 of the
Basic Lease Provisions may include, at Landlord's option, a factor approximating
the total square footage of any common lobby or internal common features of the
Building times the ratio of the actual square footage of the Premises to the
total square footage of the Building. If, upon completion of the space plans for
the Premises, Landlord's architect or space planner determines that the rentable
square footage of the Premises differs from that set forth in the Basic Lease
Provisions, then Landlord shall so notify Tenant and the Basic Rent (as shown in
Item 6 of the Basic Lease Provisions) shall be promptly adjusted in proportion
to the change in square footage. Within five (5) days following Landlord's
request, the parties shall memorialize the adjustments by executing an amendment
to this Lease prepared by Landlord, provided that the failure or refusal by
either party to execute the amendment shall not affect its validity.
SECTION 2.2 ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES. Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord
nor any representative of Landlord has made any representation or warranty with
respect to the Premises or the Building or the suitability or fitness of either
for any purpose, including without limitation any representations or warranties
regarding zoning or other land use matters, and that neither Landlord nor any
representative of Landlord has made any representations or warranties regarding
(i) what other tenants or uses may be permitted or intended in the Building and
the Project, or (ii) any exclusivity of use by Tenant with respect to
2
its permitted use of the Premises as set forth in Item 3 of the Basic Lease
Provisions. Tenant further acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any
representative of Landlord has agreed to undertake any alterations or additions
or construct any improvements to the Premises except as expressly provided in
this Lease. The taking of possession or use of the Premises by Tenant for any
purpose other than construction shall conclusively establish that the Premises
and the Building were in satisfactory condition and in conformity with the
provisions of this Lease in all respects, except for those matters which Tenant
shall have brought to Landlord's attention on a written punch list The list
shall be limited to any items required to be accomplished by Landlord under the
Work Letter attached as Exhibit X and shall be delivered to Landlord within
thirty (30) days after the term (`Term") of this Lease commences as provided in
Article III below. If no items are required of Landlord under the Work Letter,
by taking possession of the Premises Tenant accepts the improvements in their
existing condition, and waives any right or claim against Landlord arising out
of the condition of the Premises. Nothing contained in this Section shall affect
the commencement of the Term or the obligation of Tenant to pay rent. Landlord
shall diligently complete all punch list items of which it is notified as
provided above.
SECTION 2.3 BUILDING NAME AND ADDRESS. Tenant shall not utilize any name
selected by Landlord from time to time for the Building and/or the Project as
any part of Tenant's corporate or trade name. Landlord shall have the right to
change the name, address, number or designation of the Building or Project
without liability to Tenant.
ARTICLE III. TERM
SECTION 3.1 GENERAL. The Term shall be for the period shown in Item 5 of the
Basic Lease Provisions. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.2 below, the Term
shall commence ("Commencement Date") on the earlier of (a) the date upon which
Landlord tenders possession of the Premises to Tenant with the Tenant
Improvements (as defined in the Work Letter Attached hereto) substantially
completed, or (b) the date Tenant acquires possession or commences use of the
Premises for any purpose other than construction of Tenant Improvements by
Tenant under the Work Letter. Within ten (10) days after possession of the
Premises is tendered to Tenant, the parties shall memorialize on a form provided
by Landlord die actual Commencement Date and the expiration date ("Expiration
Date") of this Lease. Tenant's failure to execute that form shall not affect the
validity of Landlord's determination of those dates.
SECTION 3.2 DELAY IN POSSESSION. If Landlord, for any reason whatsoever,
cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on or before the Estimated
Commencement Date, this Lease shall not be void or voidable nor shall Landlord
be liable to Tenant for any resulting loss or damage. However, Tenant shall not
be liable for any rent and the Commencement Date shall not occur until Landlord
delivers possession of the Premises and the Premises are in fact available for
Tenant's occupancy with any Tenant Improvements that have been approved as per
Section 3.1 (a) above, except that if Landlord's failure to so deliver
possession on the Estimated Commencement Date is attributable to any action or
inaction by Tenant (including without limitation any Tenant Delay described in
the Work Letter attached to this Lease), then the Commencement Date shall not be
advanced to the date on which possession of the Premises is tendered to Tenant,
and Landlord shall be entitled to full performance by Tenant (including the
payment of rent) from the date Landlord would have been able to deliver the
Premises to Tenant but for Tenants delay(s).
3
ARTICLE IV. RENT AND OPERATING EXPENSES
SECTION 4.1 BASIC RENT. From and after the Commencement Date, Tenant shall
pay to Landlord without deduction or offset, Basic Rent for the Premises in the
total amount shown (including subsequent adjustments, if any) in Item 6 of the
Basic Lease Provisions. Any rental adjustment shown in Item 6 shall be deemed to
occur on the specified monthly anniversary of the Commencement Date, whether or
not that date occurs at the end of a calendar month. The rent shall be due and
payable in advance commencing on the Commencement Date (as prorated for any
partial month) and continuing thereafter on the first day of each successive
calendar month of the Term. No demand, notice or invoice shall be required for
the payment of Basic Rent. An installment of rent in the amount of one (1) full
month's Basic Rent at the initial rate specified in Item 6 of the Basic Lease
Provisions shall be delivered to landlord concurrently with Tenant's execution
of this Lease and shall be applied against the Basic Rent fast due hereunder.
SECTION 4.2 OPERATING EXPENSES.
(a) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, Tenant's Share of
"Operating Expenses", as defined below, incurred by Landlord in the operation of
the Building and Project. The term "Tenant's Share" means that portion of an
Operating Expense determined by multiplying the cost of such item by a faction,
the numerator of which is the floor area of the Premises and the denominator of
which is the total square footage of the floor area, as of the date on which the
computation is made, to be charged with such Operating Expense.
(b) Commencing prior to the start of the first full "Expense Recovery
Period" (as defined below) of the Lease, and prior to the start of each full or
partial Expense Recovery Period thereafter, Landlord shall give Tenant a written
estimate of the amount of Tenant's Share of operating Expenses for the Expense
Recovery Period. Tenant shall pay the estimated amounts to Landlord in equal
monthly installments, in advance, with Basic Rent. If Landlord has not furnished
its written estimate for any Expense Recovery Period by the time set forth
above, Tenant shall continue to pay cost reimbursements at the rates established
for the prior Expense Recovery Period, if any; provided that when the new
estimate is delivered to Tenant, Tenant shall, at the next monthly payment date,
pay any accrued cost reimbursements based upon the new estimate. For purposes
hereof, "Expense Recovery Period" shall mean every twelve mouth period during
the Term (or portion thereof for the first and last lease years) commencing July
1 and ending June 30.
(c) Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each Expense
Recovery Period, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement showing in
reasonable detail the actual or prorated Operating Expenses incurred by Landlord
during the period, and the parties shall within thirty (30) days thereafter make
any payment or allowance necessary to adjust Tenant's estimated payments, if
any, to the actual Tenant's Share as shown by the annual statement. Any delay or
failure by Landlord in delivering any statement hereunder shall not constitute a
waiver of Landlord's right to require Tenant to pay Tenant's Share of operating
Expenses pursuant hereto. Any amount due Tenant shall be credited against
installments next coming due under this Section 4.2, and any deficiency shall be
paid by Tenant together with the next installment. If Tenant has not made
estimated payments during the Expense Recovery Period, any amount owing by
Tenant pursuant to subsection (a) above shall be paid to Landlord in accordance
with
4
Article XVI. Should Tenant fail to object in writing to Landlord's determination
of actual Operating Expenses within sixty (60) days following delivery of
Landlord's expense statement, Landlord's determination of actual Operating
Expenses for the applicable Expense Recovery Period shall be conclusive and
binding on the parties and any future claims to the contrary shall be barred.
(d) Even though the Lease has terminated and the Tenant has vacated the
Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant's Share of Operating
Expenses for the Expense Recovery Period in which the Lease terminates, Tenant
shall upon notice pay the entire increase due over the estimated expenses paid.
Conversely, any overpayment made in the event expenses decrease shall be rebated
by Landlord to Tenant.
(e) If, at any time during any Expense Recovery Period, any one or more
of the Operating Expenses are increased to a rate(s) of amount(s) in excess of
the rate(s) or amount(s) used in calculating the estimated expenses for the
year, then the estimate of Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses shall be
increased for the month in which such rate(s) or amount(s) becomes effective and
for all succeeding months by an amount equal to Tenant's Share of the increase.
Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of the amount or estimated amount of
the increase, the month in which the increase will become effective, Tenants
Share thereof and the month for which the payments are due. Tenant shall pay the
increase to Landlord as a part of Tenants monthly payments of estimated expenses
as provided in paragraph (b) above, commencing with the month in which
effective.
(f) The term "Operating Expenses" shall mean and include all "Project
Costs" (as hereafter defined) and "Property `taxes" (as hereafter defined).
(g) The term "Project Costs" shall include all expenses of operation and
maintenance of the Building and the Project, together with all appurtenant
Common Areas (as defined in Section 6.2), and shall include the following
charges byway of illustration but not limitation: water and sewer charges;
insurance premiums or reasonable premium equivalents should Landlord elect to
self-insure any risk that Landlord is authorized to insure hereunder; license,
permit, and inspection fees; heat; light; power; janitorial services to any
interior Common Areas; air conditioning; supplies; materials; equipment; tools;
the cost of any environmental, insurance, tax or other consultant utilized by
Landlord in connection with the Building and/or Project; establishment of
reasonable reserves for replacements and/or repair of the Building and/or Common
Area improvements, equipment and supplies; costs incurred in connection with
compliance of any laws or changes in laws applicable to the Building or the
Project; the cost of any capital investments (other than tenant improvements for
specific tenants) to the extent of the amortized amount thereof over the useful
life of such capital investments calculated at a market cost of funds, all as
determined by Landlord, for each such year of useful life during the Tern; costs
associated with the procurement and maintenance of an air conditioning, heating
and ventilation service agreement, and procurement and maintenance of an
intrabuilding network cable service agreement for any intrabuilding network
cable telecommunications lines within the Project, and any other installation,
maintenance, repair and replacement costs associated with such lines; labor,
reasonably allocated wages and salaries, fringe benefits, and payroll taxes for
administrative and other personnel directly applicable to the Building and/or
Project, including both Landlord's personnel and outside personnel; any expense
incurred pursuant to Sections 6.1,
5
6.2, 6.4, 72, and 10.2; and a reasonable overhead/management fee for the
professional operation of the Project Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, Tenant's Share of any such property management fees shall be determined
by multiplying the actual property management fee charged (which from time to
time may be with respect to the Building only, a portion of the Project only,
the entire Project, or the Project together with other properties owned by
Landlord and/or its affiliates) by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
floor area of the Premises (as set forth in Item 8 of the Basic Lease Provisions
contained in the Lease), and the denominator of which is the total square
footage of space charged with such management fee actually leased to tenants
(including Tenant). It is understood that Project Costs shall include
competitive charges for direct services provided by any subsidiary or division
of Landlord.
(h) The term "Property Taxes" as used herein shall include the following:
(i) all real estate taxes or personal property taxes, as such property taxes may
be reassessed from time to time; and (ii) other taxes, charges and assessments
which are levied with respect to this Lease or to the Building and/or the
Project, and any improvements, fixtures and equipment and other property of
Landlord located in the Building and/or the Project, except that general net
income and franchise taxes imposed against Landlord shall be excluded; and (iii)
all assessments and fees for public improvements, services, and facilities and
impacts thereon, including without limitation arising out of any Community
Facilities Districts, "Xxxxx Xxxx" districts, similar assessment districts, and
any traffic impact mitigation assessments or fees; (iv) any tax, surcharge or
assessment which shall be levied in addition to or in lieu of real estate or
personal property taxes, other than taxes covered by Article VIII; and (v) costs
and expenses incurred in contesting the amount or validity of any Property Tax
by appropriate proceedings.

Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the sum, if any, stated in Item 9 of
the Basic Lease Provisions, to be held by Landlord as security for the full and
faithful performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease (the "Security

shall be understood and agreed to be the property of Landlord upon Landlord's
receipt thereof, and may be utilized by landlord in its discretion towards the
payment of all prepaid expenses by Landlord for which Tenant would be required
to reimburse Landlord under this Lease, including without limitation brokerage
commissions and Tenant Improvement costs. Upon any default by Tenant, including
specifically Tenant's failure to pay rent or to abide by its obligations under
Sections 7.1 and 15.3 below, whether or not Landlord is informed of or has
knowledge of the default, the Security Deposit shall be deemed to be
automatically and immediately applied, without waiver of any rights Landlord may
have under this Lease or at law or in equity as a result of the default, as a
setoff for frill or partial compensation for that default If any portion of the
Security Deposit is applied after a default by Tenant, Tenant shall within five
(5) days after written demand by Landlord deposit cash with Landlord in an
amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount.
Landlord shall not be required to keep this Security Deposit separate from its
general funds, and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on the Security
Deposit. If Tenant fully performs its obligations under this Lease, the Security
Deposit shall be retained to Tenant (or, at Landlord's option, to the last
assignee of Tenant's interest in this lease) after the expiration of the Term,
provided that Landlord may retain the Security Deposit to the extent and until
such time as all amounts due from Tenant in accordance with this Lease have been
determined and paid in full.

not in compliance with any of the provisions of this Section 5.3, or in the
event of a release of any Hazardous Material on, under or about the Premises
caused or permitted by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, licensees or
invitees, Landlord and its agents shall have the right, but not the obligation,
without limitation upon any of Landlord's other rights and remedies under this
Lease, to immediately enter upon the Premises without notice and to discharge
Tenant's obligations under this Section 5.3 at Tenant's expense, including
without limitation the taking of emergency or long-term remedial action.
Landlord and its agents shall endeavor to minimize interference with Tenant's
business in connection therewith, but shall not be liable for any such
interference. In addition, Landlord, at Tenant's expense, shall have the right,

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

contamination, including without limitation, any cleanup, remediation, removal,
disposal, neutralization or other treatment of any such Hazardous Materials.

review and evaluation of a proposed assignee/sublessee, and Landlord shall not
be obligated to commence such review and evaluation unless and until such fee is
paid.

transfer shall be binding on Landlord unless any document memorializing the
transfer is delivered to Landlord and both the assignee/subtenant and Tenant
deliver to Landlord an executed consent to transfer instrument prepared by
Landlord and consistent with the requirements of this Article. The acceptance by
Landlord of any payment due under this Lease from any other person shall not be
deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a
consent to any transfer. Consent by Landlord to one or more transfers shall not
operate as a waiver or estoppel to the future enforcement by Landlord of its
rights under this Lease.
SECTION 9.3 SUBLEASE REQUIREMENTS. The following terms and conditions shall
apply to any subletting by Tenant of all or any part of the Premises and shall
be deemed included in each sublease:

interest in all rentals and income arising from any sublease of the Premises,
and Landlord may collect such rent and income and apply same toward Tenant's
obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that until a default occurs in
the performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, Tenant shall have the
right to receive and collect the sublease rentals. Landlord shall not, by reason
of this assignment or the collection of sublease rentals, be deemed liable to
the subtenant for the performance of any of Tenant's obligations under the
sublease. Tenant hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs any subtenant, upon
receipt of a written notice from Landlord stating that an uncured default exists
in the performance of Tenant's obligations under this
18
Lease, to pay to Landlord all stuns then and thereafter due under the sublease.
Tenant agrees that the subtenant may rely on that notice without any duty of
further inquiry and notwithstanding any notice or claim by Tenant to the

sublease or for the return of any advance rental payments or deposits under the
sublease that have not been actually delivered to Landlord, nor shall Landlord
be bound by any sublease modification executed without Landlord's consent or for
any advance rental payment by the subtenant in excess of one month's rent. The

twenty-five percent (25%) or more in the aggregate, so long as no change in the
controlling interest of Tenant occurs as a result thereof) shall be deemed an
assignment within the meaning and provisions of this Article. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Landlord's consent shall not be required for the assignment of
this Lease as a result of a merger by Tenant with or into another entity, so
long as (i) the net worth of the successor entity after such merger is at least
equal to the greater of the net worth of Tenant as of the execution of this
Lease by Landlord or the net worth of Tenant immediately prior to the date of
such merger, evidence of which, satisfactory to Landlord, shall be presented to
Landlord prior to such merger, (u) Tenant shall provide to Landlord, prior to
such merger, written notice of such merger and such assignment documentation and
other information as Landlord may request in connection therewith, and (iii) all
of the other terms and requirements of this Article shall apply with respect to
such assignment.
ARTICLE X. INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY
SECTION 10.1 TENANT'S INSURANCE. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall
provide and maintain in effect the insurance described in EXHIBIT D. Evidence of
that insurance must be delivered to Landlord prior to the Commencement Date.
SECTION 10.2 LANDLORD'S INSURANCE. Landlord may, at its election, provide any
or all of the following types of insurance, with or without deductible and in
amounts and coverages as may be determined by Landlord in its discretion: "all
risk" property insurance, subject to standard exclusions, covering the Building
or Project, and such other risks as Landlord or its mortgagees may from time to
time deem appropriate, including leasehold improvements made by Landlord, and
commercial general liability coverage. Landlord shall not be required to carry
insurance of any kind on Tenant's property, including leasehold improvements,
trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment, plate glass, signs and all other items
of personal property, and shall not be obligated to repair or replace that
property should damage occur. All proceeds of
19
insurance maintained by Landlord upon the Building and Project shall be the
property of Landlord, whether or not Landlord is obligated to or elects to make
any repairs. At Landlord's option, Landlord may self-insure all or any portion
of the risks for which Landlord elects to provide insurance hereunder.
SECTION 10.3 TENANT'S INDEMNITY. To the fullest extent permitted by law,
Tenant shall defend, indemnify, protect, save and hold harmless Landlord, its
agents, and any and all affiliates of Landlord, including, without limitation,
any corporations or other entities controlling, controlled by or under common
control with Landlord, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs
or expenses arising either before or after the Commencement Date from Tenant's
use or occupancy of the Premises, the Building or the Common Areas, or from the
conduct of its business, or from any activity, work, or thing done, permitted or
suffered by Tenant or its agents, employees, invitees or licensees in or about
the Premises, the Building or the Common Areas, or from any default in the
performance of any obligation on Tenant's part to be performed under this Lease,
or from any act or negligence of Tenant or its agents, employees, visitors,
patrons, guests, invitees or licensees. Landlord may, at its option, require
Tenant to assume Landlord's defense in any action covered by this Section
through counsel satisfactory to Landlord. The provisions of this Section shall
expressly survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.
SECTION 10.4 LANDLORD'S NONLIABILITY. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant,
its employees, agents and invitees, and Tenant hereby waives all claims against
Landlord for loss of or damage to any property, or loss or interruption of
business of income, or any other loss, cost, damage, injury or liability
whatsoever (including without limitation any consequential damages and lost
profit or opportunity costs) resulting from, but not limited to, Acts of God,
acts of civil disobedience or insurrection, acts or omissions of other tenants
within the Project or their agents, employees, contractors, guests or invitees,
fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity, water or rain which
may leak or flow from or into any part of the Premises or from the breakage,
leakage, obstruction or other defects of the pipes, sprinklers, wires,
appliances, plumbing, air conditioning, electrical works or other fixtures in
the Building, whether the damage or injury results from conditions arising in
the Premises or in other portions of the Building. It is understood that any
such condition may require the temporary evacuation or closure of all or a
portion of the Building. Except as provided in Sections 11.1 and 12.1 below,
there shall be no abatement of rent and no liability of Landlord by reason of
any injury to or interference with Tenant's business (including without
limitation consequential damages and lost profit or opportunity costs) arising
from the making of any repairs, alterations or improvements to any portion of
the Building, including repairs to the Premises, nor shall any related activity
by Landlord constitute an actual or constructive eviction; provided, however,
that in making repairs, alterations or improvements, Landlord shall interfere as
little as reasonably practicable with the conduct of Tenant's business in the
Premises. Neither Landlord nor its agents shall be liable for interference with
light or other similar intangible interests. Tenant shall immediately notify
Landlord in case of fire or accident in the Premises, the Building or the
Project and of defects in any improvements or equipment.
SECTION 10.5 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Landlord and Tenant each hereby waives
all rights of recovery against the other and the other's agents on account of
loss and damage occasioned to the property of such waiving party to the extent
only that such loss or
20
damage is required to be insured against under any "all risk" property insurance
policies required by this Article X; provided however, that (i) the foregoing
waiver shall not apply to the extent of Tenant's obligations to pay deductibles
under any such policies and this Lease, and (ii) if any loss is due to the act,
omission or negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or its agents, employees,
contractors, guests or invitees, Tenant's liability insurance shall be primary
and shall cover all losses and damages prior to any other insurance hereunder.
By this waiver it is the intent of the parties that neither Landlord nor Tenant
shall be liable to any insurance company (by way of subrogation or otherwise)
insuring the other party for any loss or damage insured against under any
"all-risk" property insurance policies required by this Article, even though
such loss or damage might be occasioned by the negligence of such party, its
agents, employees, contractors, guests or invitees. The provisions of this
Section shall not limit the indemnification provisions elsewhere contained in
this Lease.
ARTICLE XI. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
SECTION 11.1 RESTORATION.
(a) If the Building of which the Premises are apart is damaged, Landlord
shall repair that damage as soon as reasonably possible, at its expense, unless:
(i) Landlord reasonably determines that the cost of repair is not covered by
Landlord's fire and extended coverage insurance plus such additional amounts
Tenant elects, at its option, to contribute, excluding however the deductible
(for which Tenant shall be responsible for Tenant's Share); (ii) Landlord
reasonably determines that the Premises cannot, with reasonable diligence, be
fully repaired by Landlord (or cannot be safely repaired because of the presence
of hazardous factors, including without limitation Hazardous Materials,
earthquake faults, and other similar dangers) within two hundred seventy (270)
days after the date of the damage; (iii) an event of default by Tenant has
occurred and is continuing at the time of such damage; or (iv) the damage occurs
during the final twelve (12) months of the Term. Should Landlord elect not to
repair the damage for one of the preceding reasons, Landlord shall so notify
Tenant in writing within sixty (60) days after the damage occurs and this Lease
shall terminate as of the date of that notice.
(b) Unless Landlord elects to terminate this Lease in accordance with
subsection (a) above, this Lease shall continue in effect for the remainder of
the Term; provided that so long as Tenant is not in default trader this Lease,
if the damage is so extensive that Landlord reasonably determines that the
Premises cannot, with reasonable diligence, be repaired by Landlord (or cannot
be safely repaired because of the presence of hazardous factors, earthquake
faults, and other similar dangers) so as to allow Tenant's substantial use and
enjoyment of the Premises within two hundred seventy (270) days after the date
of damage, then Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by written notice to
Landlord within the sixty (60) day period stated in subsection (a).
(c) Commencing on the date of any damage to the Building, and ending on
the sooner of the date the damage is repaired or the date this Lease is
terminated, the rental to be paid under this Lease shall be abated in the same
proportion that the floor area of the Premises that is rendered unusable by the
damage from time to time bears to the total floor area of the Premises, but only
to the extent that any business interruption insurance proceeds are received by
Landlord therefor from Tenant's insurance described in EXHIBIT D.
21
(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (a), (b) and (e) of
this Section, and subject to the provisions of Section 10.5 above, the cost of
any repairs shall be borne by Tenant, and Tenant shall not be entitled to rental
abatement or termination rights, if the damage is due to the fault or neglect of
Tenant or its employees, subtenants, invitees or representatives. In addition,
the provisions of this Section shall not be deemed to require Landlord to repair
any improvements or fixtures that Tenant is obligated to repair or insure
pursuant to any other provision of this Lease.
(e) Tenant shall fully cooperate with Landlord in removing Tenant's
personal property and any debris from the Premises to facilitate all inspections
of the Premises and the making of any repairs. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Lease, if Landlord in good faith believes there is a
risk of injury to persons or damage to property from entry into the Building or
Premises following any damage or destruction thereto, Landlord may restrict
entry into the Building or the Premises by Tenant, its employees, agents and
contractors in a non-discriminatory manner, without being deemed to have
violated Tenant's rights of quiet enjoyment to, or made an unlawful detainer of,
or evicted Tenant from, the Premises. Upon request, Landlord shall consult with
Tenant to determine if there are safe methods of entry into the Building or the
Premises solely in order to allow Tenant to retrieve files, data in computers,
and necessary inventory, subject however to all indemnities and waivers of
liability from Tenant to Landlord contained in this Lease and any additional
indemnities and waivers of liability which Landlord may require.
SECTION 11.2 LEASE GOVERNS. Tenant agrees that the provisions of this Lease,
including without limitation Section 11.1, shall govern any damage or
destruction and shall accordingly supersede any contrary statute or rule of law.
ARTICLE XII. EMINENT DOMAIN
SECTION 12.1 TOTAL OR PARTIAL TAKING. If all or a material portion of the
Premises is taken by any lawful authority by exercise of the right of eminent
domain, or sold to prevent a taking, either Tenant or Landlord may terminate
this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to
the authority. In the event title to a portion of the Building or Project, other
than the Premises, is taken or sold in lieu of taking, and if Landlord elects to
restore the Building in such a way as to alter the Premises materially, either
party may terminate this Lease, by written notice to the other party, effective
on the date of vesting of title. In the event neither party has elected to
terminate this Lease as provided above, then Landlord shall promptly, after
receipt of a sufficient condemnation award, proceed to restore the Premises to
substantially their condition prior to the taking, and a proportionate allowance
shall be made to Tenant for the rent corresponding to the time during which, and
to the part of the Premises of which, Tenant is deprived on account of the
taking and restoration. In the event of a taking, Landlord shall be entitled to
the entire amount of the condemnation award without deduction for any estate or
interest of Tenant; provided that nothing in this Section shall be deemed to
give Landlord any interest in, or prevent Tenant from seeking any award against
the taking authority for, the taking of personal property and fixtures belonging
to Tenant or for relocation or business interruption expenses recoverable from
the taking authority.
22
SECTION 12.2 TEMPORARY TAKING. No temporary taking of the Premises shall
terminate this Lease or give Tenant any right to abatement of rent, and any
award specifically attributable to a temporary taking of the Premises shall
belong entirely to Tenant. A temporary taking shall be deemed to be a taking of
the use or occupancy of the Premises for a period of not to exceed one hundred
eighty (180) days.
SECTION 12.3 TAKING OF PARKING AREA. In the event there shall be a taking of
the parking area such that Landlord can no longer provide sufficient parking to
comply with this Lease, Landlord may substitute reasonably equivalent parking in
a location reasonably close to the Building; provided that if Landlord fails to
make that substitution within one hundred eighty (180) days following the taking
and if the taking materially impairs Tenant's use and enjoyment of the Premises,
Tenant may, at its option, terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord.
If this Lease is not so terminated by Tenant, there shall be no abatement of
rent and this Lease shall continue in effect
ARTICLE XIII. SUBORDINATION; ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE; FINANCIALS
SECTION 13.1 SUBORDINATION. At the option of Landlord, this Lease shall be
either superior or subordinate to all, ground or underlying leases, mortgages
and deeds of trust, if any, which may hereafter affect the Building, and to all
renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof
provided, that so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease, this Lease
shall not be terminated or Tenant's quiet enjoyment of the Premises disturbed in
the event of termination of any such ground or underlying lease, or the
foreclosure of any such mortgage or deed of trust, to which Tenant has
subordinated this Lease pursuant to this Section. In the event of a termination
or foreclosure, Tenant shall become a tenant of and attorn to the
successor-in-interest to Landlord upon the same terms and conditions as are
contained in this Lease, and shall execute any instrument reasonably required by
Landlord's successor for that purpose. Tenant shall also, upon written request
of Landlord, execute and deliver all instruments as may be required from time to
time to subordinate the rights of Tenant under this Lease to any ground or
underlying lease or to the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust (provided that
such instruments include the nondisturbance and attornment provisions set forth
above), or, if requested by Landlord, to subordinate, in whole or in part, any
ground or underlying lease or the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust to this
Lease.
SECTION 13.2 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.
(a) Tenant shall, at any time upon not less than ten (10) days prior
written notice from Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, in
any form that Landlord may reasonably require, a statement in writing (i)
certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if
modified, stating the nature of the modification and certifying that this Lease,
as modified, is in full force and effect) and the dates to which the rental,
additional rent and other charges have been paid in advance, if any, and (ii)
acknowledging that, to Tenant's knowledge, there are no uncured defaults on the
part of Landlord, or specifying each default if any are claimed, and (iii)
setting forth all further information that Landlord may reasonably require.
Tenant's statement may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or
encumbrancer of all or any portion of the Building or Project.
23
(b) Notwithstanding any other rights and remedies of Landlord, Tenant's
failure to deliver any estoppel statement within the provided time shall be
conclusive upon Tenant that (i) this Lease is in full force and effect, without
modification except as may be represented by Landlord, (ii) there are no uncured
defaults in Landlord's performance, and (iii) not more than one month's rental
has been paid in advance.
SECTION 13.3 FINANCIALS.
(a) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, prior to the execution of this
Lease and thereafter at anytime upon Landlord's request, Tenant's current tax
returns and financial statements, certified true, accurate and complete by the
chief financial officer of Tenant, including a balance sheet and profit and loss
statement for the most recent prior year (collectively, the "Statements"), which
Statements shall accurately and completely reflect the financial condition of
Tenant. Landlord agrees that it will keep the Statements confidential, except
that Landlord shall have the right to deliver the same to any proposed purchaser
of the Building or Project, and to any encumbrancer of all or any portion of the
Building or Project.
(b) Tenant acknowledges that Landlord is relying on the Statements in its
determination to enter into this Lease, and Tenant represents to Landlord, which
representation shall be deemed made on the date of this Lease and again on the
Commencement Date, that no material change in the financial condition of Tenant,
as reflected in the Statements, has occurred since the date Tenant delivered the
Statements to Landlord. The Statements are represented and warranted by Tenant
to be correct and to accurately and fully reflect Tenant's true financial
condition as of the date of submission by any Statements to Landlord.
ARTICLE XIV. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
SECTION 14.1 TENANT'S DEFAULTS. In addition to any other event of default set
forth in this Lease, the occurrence of any one or more of the following events
shall constitute a default by Tenant:
(a) The failure by Tenant to make any payment of rent or additional rent
required to be made by Tenant, as and when due, where the failure continues for
a period of three (3) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant;
provided, however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition
to, any notice required under
California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161
and 1161(a) as amended. For purposes of these default and remedies provisions,
the term "additional rent" shall be deemed to include all amounts of any type
whatsoever other than Basic Rent to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of
this Lease.
(b) Assignment; sublease, encumbrance or other transfer of the Lease by
Tenant, either voluntarily or by operation of law, whether by judgment,
execution, transfer by intestacy or testacy, or other means, without the prior
written consent of Landlord.
(c) The discovery by Landlord that any financial statement provided by
Tenant, or by any affiliate, successor or guarantor of Tenant, was materially
false.
(d) The failure of Tenant to timely and fully provide any subordination
agreement, estoppel certificate or financial statements in accordance with the
requirements of Article XIII.
24
(e) The failure or inability by Tenant to observe or perform any of the
express or implied covenants or provisions of this Lease to be observed or
performed by Tenant, other than as specified in any other subsection of this
Section, where the failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after
written notice from Landlord to Tenant or such shorter period as is specified in
any other provision of this Lease; provided, however, that any such notice shall
be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under
California Code
of Civil Procedure Section 1161 and 1161(a) as amended. However, if the nature
of the failure is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required
for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant
commences the cure within thirty (30) days, and thereafter diligently pursues
the cure to completion.
(f) (i) The making by Tenant of any general assignment for the benefit of
creditors; (ii) the filing by or against Tenant of a petition to have Tenant
adjudged a Chapter 7 debtor under the Bankruptcy Code or to have debts
discharged or a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law
relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant,
the same is dismissed within thirty (30) days); (iii) the appointment of a
trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant's assets
located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease, if possession is
not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; (iv) the attachment, execution
or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenants assets located at the
Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease, where the seizure is not
discharged within thirty (30) days; or (v) Tenant's convening of a meeting of
its creditors for the purpose of effecting a moratorium upon or composition of
its debts. Landlord shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any event described
in this subsection unless notification in writing is received by Landlord, nor
shall there be any presumption attributable to Landlord of Tenant's insolvency.
In the event that any provision of this subsection is contrary to applicable
law, the provision shall be of no force or effect.
SECTION 14.2 LANDLORD'S REMEDIES.
(a) In the event of any default by Tenant, or in the event of the
abandonment of the Premises by Tenant, then in addition to any other remedies
available to Landlord, Landlord may exercise the following remedies:
(i) Landlord may terminate Tenant's right to possession of the
Premises by any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and
Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. Such
termination shall not affect any accrued obligations of Tenant under this Lease.
Upon termination, Landlord shall have the right to reenter the Premises and
remove all persons and property. Landlord shall also be entitled to recover from
Tenant:
(1) The worth at the time of award of the unpaid rent and
additional rent which had been earned at the time of termination;
(2) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the
unpaid rent and additional rent which would have been earned after termination
until the time of award exceeds the amount of such loss that Tenant proves could
have been reasonably avoided;
25
(3) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the
unpaid rent and additional rent for the balance of the Tern after the time of
award exceeds the amount of such loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably
avoided;
(4) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all
the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations
under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to
result from Tenant's default, including, but not limited to, the cost of
recovering possession of the Premises, refurbishment of the Premises, marketing
costs, commissions and other expenses of reletting, including necessary repair,
the unamortized portion of any tenant improvements and brokerage commissions
funded by Landlord in connection with this Lease, reasonable attorneys' fees,
and any other reasonable costs; and
(5) At Landlord's election, all other amounts in addition to or
in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted by law. The term "rent" as used in
this Lease shall be deemed to mean the Basic Rent and all other sums required to
be paid by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease. Any sum,
other than Basic Rent, shall be computed on the basis of the average monthly
amount accruing daring the twenty-four (24) month period immediately prior to
default, except that if it becomes necessary to compute such rental before the
twenty-four (24) month period has occurred, then the computation shall be on the
basis of the average monthly amount during the shorter period. As used in
subparagraphs (1) and (2) above, the "worth at the time of award" shall be
computed by allowing interest at the rate often percent (10%) per annum. As used
in subparagraph (3) above, the "worth at the time of award" shall be computed by
discounting the amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San
Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).
(ii) Landlord may elect not to terminate Tenant's right to possession
of the Premises, in which event Landlord may continue to enforce all of its
rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to collect all rent as
it becomes due. Efforts by the Landlord to maintain, preserve or relet the
Premises, or the appointment of a receiver to protect the Landlord's interests
under this Lease, shall not constitute a termination of the Tenant's right to
possession of the Premises. In the event that Landlord elects to avail itself of
the remedy provided by this subsection (ii), Landlord shall not unreasonably
withhold its consent to an assignment or subletting of the Premises subject to
the reasonable standards for Landlord's consent as are contained in this Lease.
(b) Landlord shall be under no obligation to observe or perform any
covenant of this Lease on its part to be observed or performed which accrues
after the date of any default by Tenant unless and until the default is cured by
Tenant, it being understood and agreed that the performance by Landlord of its
obligations under this Lease are expressly conditioned upon Tenant's full and
timely performance of its obligations under this Lease. The various fights and
remedies reserved to Landlord in this Lease or otherwise shall be cumulative
and, except as otherwise provided by
California law, Landlord may pursue any or
all of its rights and remedies at the same time.
(c) No delay or omission of Landlord to exercise any right or remedy
shall be construed as a waiver of the right or remedy or of any default by
Tenant. The acceptance by
26
Landlord of rent shall not be a (i) waiver of any preceding breach or default by
Tenant of any provision of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay
the particular rent accepted, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of the
preceding breach or default at the time of acceptance of rent, or (ii) a waiver
of Landlord's right to exercise any remedy available to Landlord by virtue of
the breach or default. The acceptance of any payment from a debtor in
possession, a trustee, a receiver or any other person acting on behalf of Tenant
or Tenant's estate shall not waive or cure a default under Section 14.1. No
payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the rent
required by this Lease shall be deemed to be other than a partial payment on
account of the earliest due stipulated rent, nor shall any endorsement or
statement on any check or letter be deemed an accord and satisfaction and
Landlord shall accept the check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right
to recover the balance of the rent or pursue any other remedy available to it.
No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord's agents during the Term shall be
deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept
a surrender shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Landlord. No employee
of Landlord or of Landlord's agents shall have any power to accept the keys to
the Premises prior to the termination of this Lease, and the delivery of the
keys to any employee shall not operate as a termination of the Lease or a
surrender of the Premises.
SECTION 14.3 LATE PAYMENTS.
(a) Any rent due under this Lease that is not received by Landlord within
five (5) days of the date when due shall bear interest at the maximum rate
permitted by law from the date due until fully paid. The payment of interest
shall not cure any default by Tenant under this Lease. In addition, Tenant
acknowledges that the late payment by Tenant to Landlord of rent will cause
Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of
which will be extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain. Those costs
may include, but are not limited to, administrative, processing and accounting
charges, and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any
ground lease, mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any
rent due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord's designee
within five (5) days after the date due, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in
addition to the interest provided above, a late charge in a sum equal to the
greater of five percent (5%) of the amount overdue or Two Hundred Fifty Dollars
($250.00) for each delinquent payment. Acceptance of a late charge by Landlord
shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect to the overdue
amount, nor shall it prevent Landlord from exercising any of its other rights
and remedies.
(b) Following each second consecutive installment of rent that is not
paid within five (5) days following notice of nonpayment from Landlord, Landlord
shall have the option (i) to require that beginning with the first payment of
rent next due, rent shall no longer be paid in monthly installments but shall be
payable quarterly three (3) months in' advance and/or (ii) to require that
Tenant increase the amount, if any, of the Security Deposit by one hundred
percent (100%). Should Tenant deliver to Landlord, at any time during the Term,
two (2)or more insufficient checks, the Landlord may require that all monies
then and thereafter due from Tenant be paid to Landlord by cashier's check.
SECTION 14.4 RIGHT OF LANDLORD TO PERFORM. All covenants and agreements to be
performed by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed at Tenant's sole cost
27
and expense and without any abatement of rent or right of set-off. If Tenant
fails to pay any sum of money, other than rent, or fails to perform any other
act on its part to be performed under this Lease, and the failure continues
beyond any applicable grace period set forth in Section 14.1, then in addition
to any other available remedies, Landlord may, at its election make the payment
or perform the other act on Tenant's part. Landlord's election to make the
payment or perform the act on Tenant's part shall not give rise to any
responsibility of Landlord to continue making the same or similar payments or
performing the same or similar acts. Tenant shall, promptly upon demand by
Landlord, reimburse Landlord for all sums paid by Landlord and all necessary
incidental costs, together with interest at the maximum rate permitted by law
from the date of the payment by Landlord. Landlord shall have the same rights
and remedies if Tenant fails to pay those amounts as Landlord would have in the
event of a default by Tenant in the payment of rent.
SECTION 14.5 DEFAULT BY LANDLORD. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in
default in the performance of any obligation under this Lease unless and until
it has failed to perform the obligation within thirty (30) days after written
notice by Tenant to Landlord specifying in reasonable detail the nature and
extent of the failure; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord's
obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its
performance, then Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default if it commences
performance within the thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues
the cure to completion.
SECTION 14.6 EXPENSES AND LEGAL FEES. All sums reasonably incurred by
Landlord in connection with any event of default by Tenant under this Lease or
holding over of possession by Tenant after the expiration or earlier termination
of this Lease, including without limitation all costs, expenses and actual
accountants, appraisers, attorneys and other professional fees, and any
collection agency or other collection charges, shall be due and payable by
Tenant to Landlord on demand, and shall bear interest at the rate often percent
(10%) per annum. Should either Landlord or Tenant bring any action in connection
with this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover as a part of
the action its reasonable attorneys' fees, and all other costs. The prevailing
party for the purpose of this paragraph shall be determined by the trier of the
facts.
SECTION 14.7 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. LANDLORD AND TENANT EACH ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
1T IS AWARE OF AND HAS HAD THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL OF ITS CHOICE WITH RESPECT TO
ITS RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY, AND EACH PARTY DOES HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND KNOWINGLY
WAIVE AND RELEASE ALL SUCH RIGHTS TO TRIM. BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR
COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY HERETO AGAINST THE OTHER (AND/OR AGAINST
ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR SUBSIDIARY OR AFFILIATED
ENTITIES) ON ANY MATTERS WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH
THIS LEASE, TENANT'S USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES, AND/OR ANY CLAIM OF
INJURY OR DAMAGE.
SECTION 14.8 SATISFACTION OF JUDGMENT. The obligations of Landlord do not
constitute the personal obligations of the individual partners, trustees,
directors, officers or shareholders of Landlord or its constituent partners.
Should Tenant recover a money judgment against Landlord, such judgment shall be
satisfied only out of the proceeds of sale received upon
28
execution of such judgment and levied thereon against the right, title and
interest of Landlord in the Project and out of the rent or other income from
such property receivable by Landlord or out of consideration received by
Landlord from the sale or other disposition of all or any part of Landlord's
right, title or interest in the Project and no action for any deficiency may be
sought or obtained by Tenant.
SECTION 14.9 LIMITATION OF ACTIONS AGAINST LANDLORD. Any claim, demand or
right of any kind by Tenant which is based upon or arises in connection with
this Lease shall be barred unless Tenant commences an action thereon within
twelve (12) months after the date that the act, omission, event or default upon
which the claim, demand or right arises, has occurred.
ARTICLE XV. END OF TERM
SECTION 15.1 HOLDING OVER. This Lease shall terminate without further notice
upon the expiration of the Term, and any holding over by Tenant after the
expiration shall not constitute a renewal or extension of this Lease, or give
Tenant any rights under this Lease, except when in writing signed by both

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

The Tenant Improvement work (herein "Tenant improvements") shall consist of any
work required to complete Suite 100 pursuant to approved plans and
specifications. All of the Tenant Improvement work shall be performed by a
contractor selected by Landlord and in accordance with the procedures and
requirements set forth below.
I. ARCHITECTURAL AND CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURES
A. Tenant and Landlord have approved, or shall approve within the time
period set forth below, both (i) a detailed space plan for Suite 100,
prepared by Landlord's architect, which includes interior partitions,
ceilings. interior finishes, interior office doors, suite entrance,
floor coverings, window coverings, lighting, electrical and telephone
outlets, plumbing connections, heavy floor loads and other special
requirements ("Preliminary Plan"), and (ii) an estimate, prepared by
Landlord's contractor, of the cost for which Landlord will complete
or cause to be completed the Tenant Improvements ("Preliminary Cost
Estimate"). Tenant shall approve or disapprove each of the
Preliminary Plan and the Preliminary Cost Estimate by signing copies
of the appropriate instrument and delivering same to Landlord within
five (5) working days of its receipt by Tenant. If Tenant disapproves
any matter, Tenant shall specify in detail the reasons for
disapproval and Landlord shad attempt to modify the Preliminary Plan
and the Preliminary Cost Estimate to incorporate Tenants suggested
revisions in a mutually satisfactory manner. In no event, however,
shad Tenant have the right to make additions to the Preliminary Plan
as part of its approval thereof which would increase the improvements
to be paid for by "Landlord's Contribution" (as hereinafter defined),
it being understood and agreed that the Preliminary Plan submitted by
Landlord's architect is intended to include all Improvements desired
by Tenant using Landlord's "Standards" (as hereinafter defined),
whether or not the full amount of Landlord's Contribution would be
required to complete construction of the improvements as shown in the
Preliminary Plan. In all events, however, Tenant shall approve in all
respects a Preliminary Plan and Preliminary Cost Estimate not later
than August 2, 2000 ("Plan Approval Date"), it being understood that
Tenant's failure to do so shad constitute a "Tenant Delay" for
purposes of this Lease.
B. On or before the Plan Approval Date, Tenant shall provide in writing
to Landlord or Landlords architect all specifications and Information
requested by Landlord for the preparation of final construction
documents and costing, including without limitation Tenant's final
selection of wall and floor finishes, complete specifications and
locations (including load and HVAC requirements) of Tenant's
1
equipment, and details of all "Non-Standard Improvements" (as defined
below) to be Installed in Suite 100 (collectively, "Programming
Information"). Tenants failure to provide the Programming Information
by the Plan Approval Date shall constitute a Tenant Delay for
purposes of this Lease. Tenant understands that final construction
documents for the Tenant Improvements shall be predicated on the
Programming Information, and accordingly that such Information must
be accurate and complete.
C. The Tenant Improvements shall incorporate Landlords building standard
materials and specifications ("Standards"). No deviations from the
Standards may be required by Tenant with respect to doors and frames,
finish hardware, entry graphics, the ceiling system, fight fixtures
and switches, mechanical systems, life and safety systems, and/or
window coverings; provided that Landlord may, in its sole discretion,
authorize in writing one or more of such deviations, in which event
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, prior to the commencement of
construction and in addition to sums otherwise due hereunder from
Tenant, an amount equal to the cost, as reasonably estimated by
Landlord, of replacing the deviating item(s) with the applicable
Standard Item(s) upon the expiration or termination of this Lease. Ad
other non-standard items ("Nonstandard Improvements") shall be
subject to the reasonable prior approval of Landlord. Landlord shall
in no event be required to approve any Non-Standard Improvement if
Landlord determines that such improvement (i) is of a lesser quality
than the corresponding Standard, (ii) fails to conform to applicable
governmental requirements, (iii) requires budding services beyond the
level normally provided to other tenants, (v) would delay
construction of the Tenant Improvements beyond the Estimated
Commencement Date for Suite 100 and Tenant declines to accept such
delay in writing as a Tenant Delay, or (v) would have an adverse
aesthetic impact, from the exterior of Suite 100.
D. Upon Tenant's approval of the Preliminary Plan and Preliminary Cost
Estimate and delivery of the complete Programming Information,
Landlord's architect and engineers shall prepare and deliver to
Tenant working drawings and specifications ("Working Drawings and
Specifications"), and Landlord's contractor shall prepare a final
construction cost estimate ("Final Cost Estimate') for the Tenant
Improvements in conformity with the Working Drawings and
Specifications. Tenant shall have five (5) working days from the
receipt thereof to approve or disapprove the Working Drawings and
Specifications and the Final Cost Estimate. Tenant shall not
unreasonably withhold or delay its approval, and any disapproval or
requested modification shall be limited to items not contained in the
approved Preliminary Plan or Preliminary Cost Estimate. In no event
shall Tenant disapprove the Final Cost Estimate if it does not exceed
the approved Preliminary Cost Estimate. Should Tenant disapprove the
Working Drawings and Specifications and the Final Cost Estimate, such
disapproval shall be accompanied by a detailed list of revisions. Any
revision requested by Tenant and accepted by Landlord shall be
incorporated into a revised set of Working Drawings and
Specifications and Final Cost Estimate, and Tenant shall approve
2
same in writing within rive (5) business days of receipt without
further revision. Tenant's failure to comply in a timely manner with
any of the requirements of this paragraph shall constitute a Tenant
Delay. Without limiting the rights of Landlord for Tenant Delays as
set forth herein, in the event Tenant has not approved both the
Working Drawings and Specifications and the Final Cost Estimate
within sixty (60) days following the date of this Amendment, then
Landlord may, at its option, elect to terminate this Lease by written
notice to Tenant in the event Landlord elects to effect such a
termination, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days following demand by
Landlord, pay to Landlord any costs incurred by Landlord in
connection with the preparation or review of plans, construction
estimates, price quotations, drawings or specifications under this
Work Letter and for all costs incurred in the preparation and
execution of this Amendment. Including any leasing commissions.
E. In the event that Tenant requests in writing a revision in the
approved Working Drawings and Specifications ("Change"), Landlord
shall advise Tenant by written change order as soon as is practical
of any increase in the Completion Cost and/or any Tenant Delay such
Change would cause. Tenant shall approve or disapprove such change
order in writing within two (2) working days following its receipt
from Landlord. Tenant's approval of a Change shall be accompanied by
Tenant's payment of any resulting increase in the Completion Cost
Landlord shall have the right to decline Tenant's request for a
Change for any of the reasons set forth in Article I.C. above for
Landlord's disapproval of a Non-Standard Improvement. It is
understood that Landlord shall have no obligation to interrupt or
modify the Tenant Improvement work pending Tenant's approval of a
change order.
F. Notwithstanding any provision in the Lease to the contrary, if Tenant
fails to comply with any of the time periods specified in this Work
Letter, fails otherwise to approve or reasonably disapprove any
submittal within five (5) working days, fails to approve in writing
both the Preliminary Plan and Preliminary Cost Estimate for the
Tenant Improvements by the Plan Approval Date, fails to provide all
of the Programming Information requested by Landlord by the Plan
Approval Date, fails to approve in writing the Working Drawings and
Specifications and the Final Cost Estimate within the time provided
herein, requests any Changes, furnishes inaccurate or erroneous
specifications or other information, or otherwise delays in any
manner the completion of the Tenant Improvements (including without
limitation by specifying materials that are not readily available) or
the issuance of an occupancy certificate (any of the foregoing being
referred to in this Lease as a "Tenant Delay"), then Tenant shall
bear any resulting additional construction cost or other expenses,
and the Commencement Date for Suite 100 shall be deemed to have
occurred for off purposes, including Tenant's obligation to pay rent,
as of the date Landlord reasonably determines that it would have been
able to deliver Suite 100 to Tenant but for the collective Tenant
Delays. In no event, however, shall such date be earlier than the
Estimated Commencement Date for Suite 100 set forth in the Basic
Lease Provisions. Should Landlord determine that the Commencement
Date for Suite 100 should be advanced in
3
accordance with the foregoing, it shall so notify Tenant in writing.
Landlord's determination shall be conclusive unless Tenant notifies
Landlord in writing, within five (5) working days thereafter, of
Tenant's election to contest same by arbitration with JAMS/ENDISPUTE
in Orange County, California. Pending the outcome of such arbitration
proceedings, Tenant shall make timely payment of all rent due under
this Lease based upon the Commencement Date set forth in the
aforesaid notice from Landlord.
G. Landlord shall permit Tenant and its agents to enter Suite 100 prior
to the Commencement Date for Suite 100 In order that Tenant may
perform any work to be performed by Tenant hereunder through its own
contractors, subject to Landlord's prior written approval, and In a
manner and upon terms and conditions and at times satisfactory to
Landlord's representative. The foregoing license to enter Suite 100
prior to the Commencement Date for Suite 100 is, however, conditioned
upon Tenant's contractors and their subcontractors and employees
working in harmony and not interfering with the work being performed
by Landlord. If at any time that entry shall cause disharmony or
interfere with the work being performed by Landlord, this license may
be withdrawn by Landlord upon twenty-four (24) hours written notice
to Tenant. That license is further conditioned upon the compliance by
Tenant's contractors with all requirements imposed by Landlord on
third party contractors and subcontractors,
