In the event the rentable area of the Premises is increased or decreased by the addition to or deletion from the Premises of any office space, Tenant’s percentage share shall be appropriately adjusted.

Operating expenses shall not include: property taxes; depreciation on the Building; costs of tenant improvements; real estate brokers’ commissions; interest; expenses incurred by Landlord in enforcing leases of other tenants in the Building, and capital items other than those referred to in clause (b). Actual Operating Expenses for both the Base Year and each subsequent calendar year will be adjusted to equal Landlord’s reasonable estimate of Operating Expenses had ninety-five (95) percent of the building been occupied.

(b) During the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to use the conference room on the first floor and the penthouse in the Building (the “Common Facilities”) on a non-exclusive basis with the other tenants. The Common Facilities shall be subject to a reservation system and to such rules and regulations regarding such usage as Landlord shall promulgate from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord reserves the right, upon notice to Tenant, to terminate the use of the Common Facilities as common area amenities, if and during the period that Landlord withdraws the right for tenants of the Building to use the same.
(c) During the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to use the number of Parking Spaces set forth in the Basic Lease Information at the prevailing rate for such spaces as determined by Landlord from time to time in its sole discretion. Landlord may change the rental rate charged from time-to-time upon not less than thirty (30) days’ notice to Tenant. The right to use the Parking Spaces under this Lease shall terminate upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Lease or upon thirty (30) day’s notice from Landlord to Tenant if Landlord ceases or reduces parking operations, including without limitation if Landlord does not continue to lease the property upon which the parking lot is located. Tenant agrees that the Landlord shall not be responsible in any way for any loss, damage, theft or other damages arising out of the use of Landlord’s parking facilities. The use of the parking spaces shall be subject to such rules and regulations as Landlord may establish from time to time.
Section 3. Term; Condition of Premises; Right of Termination.
(a) The term (“Term”) of this Lease shall commence on the Commencement Date and, unless sooner terminated as later provided, shall end on the Termination Date.
(b) Except for the Landlord’s Work described in the Work Letter attached to this Lease as Exhibit B which Landlord shall complete at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant the Premises on the Commencement Date “as is”, in its then existing condition. Tenant is responsible for the installation and maintenance of all cabling serving the Premises.
(c) If Landlord cannot deliver the Premises to Tenant on or before the estimated Commencement Date for any reason other than as a result of a Tenant Delay, this Lease shall not be void or voidable, nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting from nondelivery, but in that event such delay in delivery shall also extend the Term of this Lease by an equal number of days unless the delay is the result of a Tenant Delay. Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a letter in the form of Exhibit C confirming the actual Commencement Date and the Expiration Date if any of these dates are different from the dates set forth in the Basic Lease Information. The Commencement Date of the Lease will not be changed if delivery of the Premises is delayed by reason of a Tenant Delay.
5
(d) Tenant shall have a one time right to terminate the Lease upon the following terms and conditions:
(i) The termination option shall be exercised, if at all on or before the last day of the 18th month of the Term (“Exercise Date”) by sending written notice to Landlord of Tenant’s intent to terminate the Lease on the Termination Effective Date (as defined in (ii) below).
(ii) The effective date of the termination shall be on the first day of the 25th month of the Term (“Termination Effective Date”).
(iii) Tenant shall not be in default under the Lease either at the Exercise Date or the Termination Effective Date.
(iv) Tenant shall pay a termination fee on the Exercise Date equal to (i) $11,649.00, which is two month’s rent based on the base rent schedule for months 27-38 of $23 per rentable square foot; plus (ii) the costs of the unamortized tenant improvements and leasing commissions (which is estimated to be approximately $44,346.00 but which amount shall be adjusted based upon the actual costs of the tenant improvements), together with interest thereon computed at the rate of 8% per annum
Section 4. Rental.
(a) Tenant shall pay to Landlord throughout the Term as rental for the Premises the Base Rent. In addition to the Base Rent, for each calendar year subsequent to the Base Year the Base Rent shall be increased by (i) Tenant’s Percentage Share of the total dollar increase, if any, in Operating Expenses paid or incurred by Landlord in that year over the Base Year Operating Expenses and (ii) Tenant’s Percentage Share of the total dollar increase, if any, in Property Taxes paid or incurred by Landlord in that year over the Base Year Property Taxes. The increased rental due pursuant to this Section 4(a) is the Escalation Rent.
(b) Monthly Rental shall be paid to Landlord, in advance, on or before the first day of the Term of this Lease and on or before the first day of each successive calendar month during the Term of this Lease. In the event the Term of this Lease commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar month or ends on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, the monthly rental for the first and last fractional months of the Term of this Lease shall be appropriately prorated.
(c) All sums of money due to Landlord under this Lease, not specifically characterized as rental, shall constitute additional rent and shall be due within thirty (30) days after receipt by Tenant of a billing. If any sum is not paid when due, it shall be collectible as additional rent with the next installment of rental falling due.
(d) Tenant acknowledges that late payment of rent and other sums due under this Lease after the expiration of any applicable cure period under Section 18(a) will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be difficult to ascertain. These costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of rent or any other
6
sums due from Tenant are not received within five (5) business days of its due date, or if a cure period is applicable under Section 18(a), prior to the expiration of the cure period, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of the overdue amount. The parties agree that the late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur because of late payment. Acceptance of the late charge by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default for the overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising the other rights and remedies granted under this Lease.
______ [Initials of landlord] |
______ [Initials of Tenant] |
(e) If any installment of rent or any other sums due from Tenant are not received within five (5) business days of its due date, or if a cure period is applicable under Section 18(a), prior to the expiration of the cure period, such amount will bear interest from the due date until paid at the rate of ten percent (10%) per year. However, interest shall not be payable on late charges incurred by Tenant nor on any amounts on which late charges are paid by Tenant to the extent this interest would cause the total interest to be in excess of that legally permitted. Payment of interest shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant.
(f) All payments due shall be paid to Landlord, without deduction or offset, in lawful money of the United States of America at Landlord’s address for notices under this Lease or to another person or at another place as Landlord may designate by notice to Tenant. If Tenant pays by check and the check is returned for non-sufficient funds more than once, upon request of the Landlord, the Tenant shall make future payments by cashier’s check.
Section 5. Escalation Rent.
Escalation Rent shall be paid monthly on an estimated basis, with subsequent annual reconciliation, in accordance with the following procedures:
(a) No later than fifteen (15) days after to the end of the Base Year and no later than fifteen (15) days after to the end of each subsequent calendar year, or as soon after that time as practicable, Landlord shall give Tenant notice of Landlord’s estimate of any Escalation Rent due under Section 4(a) for the ensuing calendar year with respect to (i) Operating Expenses and/or (ii) Property Taxes. On or before the first day of each month during the ensuing calendar year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord one-twelfth (1/12th) of the estimated Escalation Rent. If Landlord fails to give notice as required in this Section, Tenant shall continue to pay on the basis of the prior year’s estimate until the month after that notice is given. If at any time it appears to Landlord that the Escalation Rent for Operating Expenses and/or Property Taxes for the current calendar year will vary from the estimate, Landlord may, by notice to Tenant, revise the estimate for that year, and subsequent payments by Tenant for that year shall be based on the revised estimate.
(b) Within ninety (90) days after the close of each calendar year, or as soon after the ninety (90) day period as practicable, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement of (i) the actual Escalation Rent for that calendar year with respect to Operating Expenses and (ii) the actual Escalation Rent for that calendar year with respect to Property Taxes. At Tenant’s request, Landlord
7
shall provide Tenant reasonable supporting detail underlying the calculations of Operating Expenses and/or Property Taxes. If Landlord’s statement discloses that Tenant owes an amount that is less than the estimated payments for the calendar year for either Operating Expenses or Property Taxes previously made by Tenant, Landlord shall credit the excess first against any sums then owed by Tenant, and then against the next payments of rental due. If Landlord’s statement discloses that Tenant owes an amount that is more than the estimated payments for the calendar year previously made by Tenant for either Operating Expenses or Property Taxes, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord within thirty (30) days after delivery of the statement.
(c) Landlord shall maintain at all times during the term of this Lease, at the office of Landlord in the Building or such other office as Landlord may designate full, complete and accurate books of account and records prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles with respect to Escalation Rent, and shall retain such books and records, as well as contracts, bills, vouchers, and checks, and such other documents as are reasonably necessary to properly audit the Escalation Rent. Upon reasonable notice from Tenant, Landlord shall make available for Tenant’s inspection (or inspection performed by Tenant’s accountant and/or consultants) at Landlord’s office in the Building, during normal business hours, Landlord’s books and records relating to the Escalation Rent for the previous calendar year. If Tenant’s inspection reveals that Tenant was overcharged for Escalation Rent for Operating Expenses or Escalation Rent for Property Taxes and Landlord does not dispute such findings, the amount of the overcharge shall be promptly refunded to Tenant.
(d) The amount of Escalation Rent for Operating Expenses and the amount of Escalation Rent for Property Taxes for any fractional year in the Term shall be appropriately prorated. The proration of Operating Expenses for the calendar year in which termination occurs shall be calculated on the basis of a fraction of the Operating Expenses for that entire calendar year; the proration of Property Taxes for the calendar year in which termination occurs shall be calculated on the basis of a fraction of the Property Taxes for that entire calendar year, but shall exclude any Property Taxes attributable to any increase in the assessed valuation of the Building occurring after termination. The termination of this Lease shall not affect the obligations of the parties pursuant to Section 5(b) to be performed after the termination.
Section 6. Use and Access to Premises.
The Premises shall be used for general office use. In no event shall (i) the maximum floor load exceed 40 pounds per rentable square foot, including personnel, furniture and equipment or (ii) the regular occupancy of the Premises exceed one person per 160 rentable square feet of space without Landlord’s prior written consent. Tenant acknowledges that the heating and ventilating system is designed to accommodate density of one person per 250 rentable square feet. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done on the Premises, nor bring or keep or permit to be brought or kept in the Premises, anything (a) which is prohibited by or in conflict with any law, ordinance, or governmental rule or, (b) which is prohibited by the standard form of fire insurance policy or, (c) which will increase the existing rate of or affect fire or other insurance on the Building or its contents or cause a cancellation of any insurance policy covering the Building or any part of it or its contents. Tenant shall not use or store in the Premises any hazardous or toxic substances, with the sole exception of reasonably necessary substances that are kept in reasonably necessary quantities for normal
8
office operations, provided that their use and storage are in accordance with applicable laws. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done on the Premises that will obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants of the Building, or injure or annoy them, or use or allow the Premises to be used for any unlawful purposes, nor shall Tenant cause, maintain, or permit any nuisance or waste on or about the Premises. Tenant shall have access to the Premises 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, subject however to force majeure events.
Section 7. Services.
(a) Landlord shall maintain the Common Areas of the Building, including lobbies, stairs, elevators, corridors, rest rooms, all exterior landscaping, windows, the mechanical, plumbing, and electrical equipment serving the Building, and the structure itself, in reasonably good order and condition so as to meet the reasonable needs of Tenant, except for damage, excluding normal wear and tear, caused by the Tenant. Damage caused by Tenant, other than normal wear and tear by Tenant, shall be repaired by Landlord at Tenant’s expense. The standard of maintenance shall be equal to that of other office buildings of a similar class in San Francisco, California. If Landlord engages an outside vendor to perform a work order or provide equipment or services for or on behalf of Tenant, Landlord shall charge an administrative fee equal to 15% of the cost of such work order.
(b) Landlord shall furnish (i) electricity for normal business use, including lighting and the operation of office machines (“Base Electricity”), (ii) heat and air conditioning, to the extent reasonably required for the comfortable occupancy by Tenant in Tenant’s use of the Premises during the period from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on weekdays, except holidays, or a shorter period as may be prescribed by applicable policies or regulations adopted by any utility or governmental agency, (iii) elevator service, (iv) lighting replacement, for building standard lights, (v) rest room supplies, (vi) window washing with reasonable frequency, (vii) water for the rest rooms and kitchen areas, and (viii) security guard services and daily janitor services during the times and in the manner that these services are customarily furnished in comparable office buildings in the area (“Standard Utilities and Services”). Landlord may establish reasonable measures to conserve energy and water, including but not limited to, automatic light shut off after hours and efficient lighting forms, so long as these measures do not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises. If Tenant uses more than its allocable share of the Standard Utilities and Services, Tenant shall pay for any non-standard utilities or services used. If Landlord determines that Tenant is using electricity in excess of the Base Electricity, Landlord shall have the right either (i) to install a meter, at Tenant’s cost, to measure the amount of electricity consumption in the Premises or (ii) to reasonably estimate the amount of electricity usage in excess of the Base Electricity and Tenant shall pay all such costs in excess of the Base Electricity.
(c) Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease, nor be liable for any damages resulting from, nor shall the required rental be abated because of (i) any reasonably necessary installation, use, or interruption of use of any equipment in connection with furnishing the previously listed services, (ii) failure to furnish or delay in furnishing these services, when failure or delay is caused by accident or conditions beyond the reasonable control of Landlord or by necessary repairs or improvements to the Premises or to the Building, or (iii) the limitation, curtailment, rationing, or restrictions on use of water, electricity, gas, or any other form of
9
energy serving the Premises or the Building. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to diligently remedy interruptions in the furnishing of these services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall make reasonable efforts not to disrupt Tenant’s use of the Premises.
Section 8. Alterations.
Tenant shall not make or allow any alterations, additions, or improvements to the Premises or any part of the Premises (“Alterations”), without Landlord’s prior written consent. Landlord may in its discretion withhold or condition approval of Alterations that affect the building systems or structure of the Building. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to the installation of furnishings, fixtures, equipment, or decorative improvements, none of which shall affect Building systems or the structure of the Building, and the repainting or recarpeting of the Premises. If and to the extent that any Alterations require improvements to the Premises or to the Building to comply with applicable Legal Requirement (“Compliance Improvements”), if Tenant elects to undertake such Alterations, Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of the costs of all such Compliance Improvements. All Alterations shall immediately become Landlord’s property and, at the end of the Term, shall remain on the Premises without compensation to Tenant, unless Landlord elects by notice to Tenant at the time of installation to have Tenant remove any Alterations that are peculiar to Tenant’s use of the Premises and are not normally required or used by other tenants. In this event, Tenant shall bear the cost of restoring the Premises to their condition prior to the installment of the Alterations. All Alterations shall comply with the requirements of the Rules and Regulations which are Exhibit D and the Tenant Construction Standards and Requirements which is Schedule 1 to the Rules and Regulations.
Section 9. Repairs; Landlord’s Reservation of Rights.
(a) Tenant shall periodically inspect the Premises to identify any conditions that are dangerous or in need of maintenance or repair. Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with notice of any such conditions. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, perform all maintenance and repairs to the Premises that are not Landlord’s express responsibility under this Lease, and keep the Premises in good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Tenant’s repair and maintenance obligations include, without limitation, repairs to: (a) floor covering; (b) window coverings; (c) interior partitions; (d) doors; (e) the interior side of demising walls; (f) electronic, phone and data cabling and related equipment that is installed by or for the exclusive benefit of Tenant (collectively, “Cable”); (g) supplemental air conditioning units, kitchens, including hot water heaters, plumbing, and similar facilities exclusively serving Tenant; and (h) Alterations. To the extent Landlord is not reimbursed by insurance proceeds, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of repairing damage to the Building caused by the acts of Tenant, Tenant Related Parties and their respective contractors and vendors.
(b) If Tenant fails to make any repairs to the Premises for more than 15 days after notice from Landlord (although notice shall not be required in an emergency), Landlord may make the repairs, and Tenant shall pay the reasonable cost of the repairs, together with an administrative charge in an amount equal to 15% of the cost of the repairs. Tenant hereby waives all right to make repairs at the expense of Landlord or in lieu thereof to vacate the Premises and its other similar rights as provided in California Civil Code
10
Sections 1932(1), 1941 and 1942 or any other Legal Requirement (whether now or hereafter in effect). In addition to the foregoing, Tenant shall be responsible for repairing all special tenant fixtures and improvements, including garbage disposals, showers, plumbing, and appliances.
(c) If Landlord performs any work to the Premises at Tenant’s request or provides any additional services (“Additional Work”) to Tenant, including without limitation repairs to appliances or fixtures within Tenant’s Premises, Tenant shall pay the reasonable cost of the Additional Work, together with an administrative charge in an amount equal to 15% of the cost of the Additional Work.
(d) Tenant accepts the Premises as being in the condition in which Landlord is obligated to deliver the Premises, subject to the tenant improvements, if any, that Landlord has agreed to make. Landlord has no obligation and has made no promise to alter, remodel, improve, repair, decorate, or paint the Premises or any part of them, except as specifically set forth in Section 3. Landlord has made no representations respecting the condition of the Premises or the Building, except as specifically set forth in this Lease.
(e) Landlord reserves the right, at any time and from time to time, without the same constituting an actual or constructive eviction, but provided that Landlord does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the building, to (i) make alterations, additions, repairs, improvements to or in, or to decrease the size of area of all or any part of the Building, the fixtures and equipment therein, the heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, plumbing, electrical, fire protection, life safety, security and all mechanical systems of the building (“Building Systems”), the common areas and all other parts of the Building; (ii) to change the arrangement and/or location of entrances or passageways, doors and doorways, corridors, elevators, stairs, toilets and other public parts of the Building and to create additional rentable areas through use or enclosure of common areas; (iii) to change the Building’s name or street address or to change the room number or numbers of the Premises; (iv) to install, affix and maintain any and all signs on the exterior and interior of the Building.
Section 10. Damage or Destruction.
(a) In the event the Premises or any portion of the Building necessary for Tenant’s occupancy are damaged by fire, earthquake, act of God, the elements, or other casualty, within thirty (30) days after that event, Landlord shall notify Tenant of the estimated time, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, required for repair or restoration. If the estimated time is one hundred and fifty (150) days or less after the commencement of the physical work and one hundred and eighty (180) days or less after the casualty event, Landlord shall proceed promptly and diligently to adjust the loss with applicable insurers, to secure all required governmental permits and approvals, and to repair or restore the Premises or the portion of the Building necessary for Tenant’s occupancy. This Lease shall remain in full force, except that for the time unusable, Tenant shall receive a rental abatement for that part of the Premises rendered unusable in the conduct of Tenant’s business.
(b) If the estimated time for repair or restoration is in excess of one hundred and fifty (150) days after the commencement of the physical work or one hundred and eighty (180) days after the casualty event, Tenant or Landlord may elect to terminate this
11
Lease as of the date of the casualty event by giving notice to the other party within fifteen (15) days following receipt of Landlord’s notice of the estimated time for repair.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord’s obligation to restore or repair the Building shall be limited to the amount of insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord for such reconstruction or repair.
Section 11. Subrogation.
Landlord and Tenant shall each obtain from their respective insurers under all policies of fire, theft, public liability, worker’s compensation, and other insurance maintained during the term of this Lease covering the Building, or any portion of it, or operations in it, a waiver of all rights of subrogation that the insurer of one party might have against the other party. Landlord and Tenant shall each indemnify the other against any loss or expense, including reasonable attorney fees, resulting from the failure to obtain this waiver.
Section 12. Insurance.
(a) Public Liability. Tenant, at its own cost and expense, shall keep and maintain in full force and effect during the Term the following insurance coverages, written by an insurance company licensed by and admitted to issue insurance in the State of California, with a general policyholders’ rating of “A” or better and a financial size ranking of “Class VIII” or higher, in the most recent edition of Best’s Insurance Guide, in the form customary to the locality, (i) commercial general liability insurance, including contractual liability coverage, insuring Tenant’s activities with respect to the Premises and/or the Building against loss, damage or liability for personal injury or death of any person or loss or damage to property occurring in, upon or about the Premises, with a minimum coverage of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) per occurrence/Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) general aggregate, (ii) fire damage legal liability insurance and personal/advertising injury insurance (which shall not be subject to the contractual liability exclusion), each in the minimum amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), (iii) medical payments insurance in the minimum amount of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000), (iv) worker’s compensation insurance in statutory amounts, and (v) if Tenant operates owned, leased or non-owned vehicles on the Property, comprehensive automobile liability insurance with a minimum coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence/Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) general aggregate.
(b) Insurance Certificates. Tenant shall furnish to Landlord, on or before the Commencement Date and thereafter prior to the expiration of each policy, an original certificate of insurance issued by the insurance carrier of each policy of insurance carried by Tenant pursuant to this Section. The certificates shall expressly provide that the policies shall not be cancelable or subject to reduction of coverage or otherwise be subject to modification except after thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the parties named as insureds. Landlord, its successors and assigns, and any nominee of Landlord holding any interest in the Premises, including, without limitation, Landlord’s members, Landlord’s property manager, Landlord’s parking operator, and the holder of any fee or leasehold mortgage, shall be named as an additional insured under each policy of insurance maintained by Tenant pursuant to this Lease.
12
The policies and certificates shall further provide that the coverage shall be primary, and that any coverage carried by Landlord shall be secondary and noncontributory with respect to Tenant’s policy.
Section 13. Indemnification.
Tenant waives all claims against Landlord for damage to any property or injury or death of any person on the Premises arising at any time and from any cause except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and defend Landlord against all claims, liability, damage, or loss arising out of any injury or death of any person or damage to or destruction of property to the extent attributable to the action or inaction of Tenant, its agents, contractors, or employees, except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents, contractors, or employees. Tenant shall also hold Landlord harmless from any liability, cost, or expense arising from Tenant’s use or storage on the property of any hazardous or toxic substance. These indemnity obligations shall include reasonable attorney fees, investigation costs, and all other reasonable costs incurred by the indemnified party from the first notice that any claim or demand is to be made or may be made. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Lease for any event occurring prior to the termination.
Section 14. Compliance with Legal Requirements.
(a) At Tenant’s sole cost, Tenant shall promptly comply with all laws and governmental rules now or later in force; with the requirements of any board of fire underwriters or other similar body now or in the future constituted; with any direction or occupancy certificate issued by public officers (“Legal Requirements”), insofar as they relate to (i) the use, or occupancy of the Premises or (ii) to Alterations undertaken by Tenant, except that Tenant shall not be responsible for (a) structural changes or changes to the electrical, mechanical, or plumbing systems of the Building in connection with the Tenant Improvements constructed in accordance with Exhibit B and (b) work necessitated by defects in the construction of the Building. Landlord shall comply in a timely manner with all Legal Requirements that are not Tenant’s responsibility under this Section to the extent noncompliance would adversely affect Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises.
(b) Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has advised Tenant that certain fire-proofing and insulating materials used in the construction of the Building contain asbestos or asbestos-containing materials (collectively, “Asbestos”). If any Legal Requirements impose mandatory or voluntary controls or guidelines with respect to Asbestos or if Landlord otherwise so elects, Landlord may, in its sole discretion, comply with such mandatory or voluntary controls or guidelines, or elect to make such alterations or remove such Asbestos in compliance with all Legal Requirements. Such compliance or the making of alterations, and the removal of all or a portion of such Asbestos, whether in the Premises or elsewhere in the Building, shall not, in any event constitute a breach by Landlord of any provision of this Lease, relieve Tenant of the obligation to pay any Rent due under this Lease, constitute or be construed as a constructive or other eviction of Tenant, or constitute or be construed as a breach of Tenant’s quiet enjoyment. Tenant also acknowledges that Landlord has promulgated Building regulations and procedures governing the manner in which Tenant may undertake Alterations to the Premises in those areas where Asbestos may be located, and such regulations and procedures may
13
be modified, amended or supplemented from time to time. Prior to undertaking any Alterations in or around the Premises, Tenant shall notify Landlord, in writing, of the exact nature and location of the proposed Alterations and shall promptly supply such additional information regarding the proposed Alterations as Landlord shall request. After receipt of Tenant’s notice, Landlord shall, to the extent appropriate, supply Tenant with the Building regulations and procedures for working in areas where there is a risk of coming into contact with Asbestos. Tenant shall strictly comply with all such Building regulations and procedures established by Landlord and with all applicable Requirements. Landlord shall have the right at all times to monitor the work for compliance with the Building regulations and procedures. If Landlord determines that any of the Building regulations and/or procedures are not being strictly complied with, Landlord may immediately require the cessation of all work being performed in or around the Premises until such time as Landlord is satisfied that the applicable regulations and procedures will be observed. Landlord’s monitoring of any work in or around the Premises shall not be deemed a certification by Landlord of compliance with any Requirements or of the Building regulations and procedures or a waiver by Landlord of its right to require strict compliance with such Building regulations and procedures nor shall such monitoring relieve Tenant from any liabilities relating to such work.
(c) Tenant agrees to take all proper and necessary action to cause the Premises to be used and occupied in compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (“ADA”). Tenant shall also be responsible for the cost of all work required to ensure that the Premises and the Building comply with the ADA if the obligation to do such work is due to Tenant’s use of the Premises or to any Alterations (including the initial Alterations) installed or constructed in the Premises.
Section 15. Assignment and Subletting.
(a) Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Lease, Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, assign or hypothecate this Lease or any interest in this Lease, sublet the Premises or any part of them, or license the use of the Premises by any party other than Tenant. For purposes of this Article, an assignment shall be deemed to include a change in the majority control of Tenant, resulting from any transfer, sale or assignment of shares of stock of Tenant occurring by operation of Law or otherwise, including the merger or consolidation of Tenant into another entity. If Tenant is a partnership, any change in the partners of Tenant shall be deemed to be an assignment. Neither this Lease nor any interest in this Lease shall be assignable without the consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any of the previous acts without consent shall be void and shall, at the option of Landlord, constitute a default under this Lease. Landlord shall respond to Tenant’s request for sublease within fifteen (15) days of receiving a written request from Tenant and receipt of documentation regarding description and financial condition of proposed Tenant and other necessary information as required by Landlord.
(b) No sublessee shall have a right to further sublet without Landlord’s prior consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld, and any assignment by a sublessee of the sublease shall be subject to Landlord’s prior consent in the same manner as if Tenant were entering into a new sublease.
14
(c) In the case of an assignment or subletting, fifty percent (50%) of any sums or economic consideration received by Tenant as a result of the assignment or subletting shall be paid to Landlord after first deducting (i) in the case of a sublet, the rental due under this Lease, prorated to reflect only rental allocable to the sublet portion of the Premises, (ii) any tenant improvements paid for by Tenant, and (iii) the cost of any real estate commissions, reasonable attorney fees, or other third party professional services paid by Tenant in connection with the assignment or subletting.
(d) Regardless of Landlord’s consent, no subletting or assignment shall release or alter Tenant’s obligation or primary liability to pay the rental and perform all other obligations under this Lease. Consent to one assignment or subletting shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. In the event of default by any assignee or successor of Tenant in the performance of any of the terms of this Lease, after notice of default to Tenant pursuant to Section 18 and the expiration of any applicable cure period, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against the assignee or successor.
(e) If Tenant assigns this Lease, sublets the Premises, or requests the consent of Landlord to any assignment, subletting, hypothecation, or other action requiring Landlord’s consent under this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord’s reasonable attorney fees incurred in connection with the action, not to exceed $1,000.00.
(f) Despite any other provision of this Article 15, Landlord has the option, by written notice to Tenant (Recapture Notice) within thirty (30) days after receiving any request for assignment or subletting, to recapture the subject space by terminating this Lease for the Subject Space or taking an assignment or a sublease of the subject space from Tenant. A timely Recapture Notice terminates this Lease or creates an assignment or a sublease for the subject space for the same term as the proposed assignment or subletting, effective as of the date specified in the request for assignment or subletting. If Landlord declines or fails timely to deliver a Recapture Notice, Landlord shall have no further right under this Section 15 to the subject space unless it becomes available again after assignment or subletting by Tenant.
Section 16. Rules and Regulations.
Tenant shall comply with the Rules and Regulations attached to and incorporated in this Lease as Exhibit D, and with the Tenant Construction Standards and Regulations which is Schedule 1 to the Rules and Regulations, and after notice, with all reasonable modifications and additions to these Rules and Regulations, from time to time promulgated in writing by Landlord. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for the nonperformance of any of these Rules and Regulations by any other tenant or occupant of the Building, but Landlord shall take reasonable steps to enforce any Rules and Regulations, the nonperformance of which by other tenants materially and adversely affects Tenant in the use of the Premises. However, if any rule conflicts with any term, covenant, or condition of this Lease, this Lease shall prevail. In addition, no rule, or any subsequent amendments to it adopted by Landlord shall alter, reduce, or adversely affect any of Tenant’s rights or enlarge Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.
15
Section 17. Entry by Landlord.
Landlord may enter the Premises at reasonable hours with notice to Tenant to (a) inspect the Premises; (b) exhibit the Premises to prospective purchasers, lenders, or tenants; (c) determine whether Tenant is complying with all obligations under this Lease; (d) and 24 hour notice to Tenant to supply janitorial service and any other services to be provided by Landlord under this Lease; (e) post notices of nonresponsibility; and (f) make repairs or perform maintenance required of Landlord by this Lease, make repairs to any adjoining space or utility services, or make repairs, alterations, or improvements to any other portion of the Building. However, all this work shall be done as promptly as reasonably possible and cause as little interference to Tenant as reasonably possible. Subject to Landlord’s undertakings in the previous sentence, Tenant waives any damage claims for inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business or loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises caused by Landlord’s entry. At all times Landlord shall have a key with which to unlock the doors on the Premises, excluding Tenant’s vaults, safes, and similar areas designated as secure areas in writing by Tenant in advance. In an emergency, Landlord shall have the right to use any means that Landlord deems proper to open Tenant’s doors and enter the Premises. Entry to the Premises by Landlord in an emergency shall not be construed as a forcible or unlawful entry, a detainer, or an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall provide Tenant with 24 hours notice prior to entering the Premises, except in the event of an emergency, Landlord may enter the Premises without providing such notice.
Section 18. Events of Default.
The following events shall constitute events of default under this Lease (each an Event of Default):
(a) failure by Tenant to pay when due any Base Rent or other sum payable under this Lease when due;
(b) a default by Tenant in the performance of any of the terms, covenants, agreements, or conditions in this Lease, other than a default by Tenant in the payment when due of any rent or other sum payable under this Lease, and the continuation of the default beyond thirty (30) days after notice by Landlord provided however that if the default is curable and requires more than thirty (30) to remedy, Tenant shall not be in default if it commences to cure within such thirty (30) day period and proceeds to complete the cure within sixty (60) days;
(c) the bankruptcy or insolvency of Tenant, a transfer by Tenant in fraud of creditors, an assignment by Tenant for the benefit of creditors, or the commencement of proceedings of any kind by or against Tenant under the Federal Bankruptcy Act or under any other insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization act, unless Tenant is discharged from voluntary proceedings within ninety (90) days;
(d) the appointment of a receiver for a substantial part of Tenant’s assets;
(e) the abandonment of the Premises for a period in excess of 60 days; and
16
(f) the levy upon this Lease or any estate of Tenant under this Lease by attachment or execution and the failure to have the attachment or execution vacated within sixty (60) days.
Section 19. Termination upon Default.
On occurrence of any Event of Default by Tenant, Landlord may, in addition to any other rights and remedies given here or by law, terminate this Lease and exercise remedies relating to it without further notice or demand in accordance with the following provisions:
(a) Landlord may continue this Lease in full force and effect, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s right to possession, and Landlord shall have the right to collect rent when due as set forth in California Civil Code Section 1951.4. During the period Tenant is in default, Landlord may enter the Premises and relet them, or any part of them, to third parties for Tenant’s account, provided that any rental in excess of the monthly rental due hereunder shall be payable to Landlord. Tenant shall be liable immediately to Landlord for all costs Landlord incurs in reletting the Premises, including, without limitation, broker’s commissions, expenses of cleaning and redecorating the Premises required by the reletting and like costs. Reletting may be for a period shorter or longer than the remaining Term of this Lease. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the rent and other sums due under this Lease on the dates the rent is due, less the rent and other sums Landlord receives from any reletting. No act by Landlord allowed by this paragraph shall terminate this Lease unless Landlord notifies Tenant in writing that Landlord elects to terminate this Lease.
(b) Landlord may terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises at any time by giving written notice to that effect. No act by Landlord other than giving written notice to Tenant shall terminate this Lease. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of a receiver on Landlord’s initiative to protect Landlord’s interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant’s right to possession. On termination, Landlord has the right to remove all personal property of Tenant and store same at Tenant’s cost and to recover from Tenant as damages: (i) The worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which has 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 could have been reasonably 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 could have been reasonably 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 or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom. As used in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by allowing interest at the then prevailing discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco plus five percent (5%). As used in subparagraph (iii) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (l%).
(c) No waiver of any default of Tenant hereunder shall be implied from any acceptance by Landlord of any rent or other payments due hereunder or any omission by Landlord to take any action on account of such default if such default persists or is repeated and no express waiver shall affect defaults other than as specified in said waiver. The consent or approval of Landlord
17
to or of any act by Tenant requiring Landlord’s consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary Landlord’s consent or approval to or of any subsequent similar acts by Tenant.
Section 20. Eminent Domain.
If all or any part of the Premises are taken through eminent domain, this Lease shall terminate for the part taken as of the date of taking. For a partial taking, either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease for the balance of the Premises by notice to the other within thirty (30) days after the taking. However, Tenant’s right to terminate arises only if the portion of the Premises taken substantially handicaps, impedes, or impairs Tenant’s use of the balance of the Premises. In the event of any taking, Landlord shall be entitled to all compensation, damages, income, rent, awards, or any interest that may be paid in connection with the taking, except for any portion specifically awarded to Tenant for moving expenses, trade fixtures, equipment, and any leasehold improvements in the Premises to the extent of the then unamortized value of these improvements for the remaining term of the Lease as determined in the award. However, Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease or otherwise, other than for prepaid rent. In the event of a partial taking of the Premises that does not result in a termination of this Lease, the subsequent monthly rental shall be equitably reduced.
Section 21. Estoppel Certificate.
At any time with at least ten (10) days’ prior notice by Landlord, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Landlord a certificate in a form satisfactory to Landlord certifying: (a) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force or, if there have been modifications, that this Lease is in full force, as modified, together with the date and nature of each modification, (b) the amount of the Base Rent, most recent Escalation Rent, if any, and the date to which the rent has been paid, (c) that no notice has been received by Tenant of any default that has not been cured, except defaults specified in the certificate, (d) that no default of Landlord is claimed by Tenant, except defaults specified in the certificate, and (e) other matters as may be reasonably requested by Landlord. Any certificate may be relied on by prospective purchasers, mortgagees, or beneficiaries under any deed of trust on the Building or any part of it.
Section 22. Surrender of Premises; Holding Over.
(a) Upon the Termination Date, Tenant shall surrender and vacate the Premises immediately and deliver possession thereof to Landlord in a clean, good and tenantable condition, ordinary wear and tear, and damage caused by Landlord excepted. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord all keys to the Premises. All improvements in and to the Premises, including any Alterations (collectively, “Leasehold Improvements”) shall remain upon the Premises at the end of the Term without compensation to Tenant. Landlord, however, by written notice to Tenant at least 30 days prior to the Termination Date, may require Tenant, at its expense, to remove (a) any Cable installed by or for the benefit of Tenant, and (b) any Landlord Work or Alterations that, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, are of a nature that would require removal and repair costs that are materially in excess of the removal and repair costs associated with standard office improvements (collectively referred to as “Required Removables”). Required Removables
18
shall include, without limitation, internal stairways, raised floors, personal baths and showers, vaults, rolling file systems and structural alterations and modifications. The designated Required Removables shall be removed by Tenant before the Termination Date. Tenant shall repair damage caused by the installation or removal of Required Removables. If Tenant fails to perform its obligations in a timely manner, Landlord may perform such work at Tenant’s expense. Tenant, at the time it requests approval for a proposed Alteration, may request in writing that Landlord advise Tenant whether the Alteration or any portion of the Alteration is a Required Removable. Within 10 days after receipt of Tenant’s request, Landlord shall advise Tenant in writing as to which portions of the Alteration are Required Removables. If any of the Tenant Additions which were installed by Tenant involved the lowering of ceilings, raising of floors or the installation of specialized wall or floor coverings or lights, then Tenant shall also be obligated to return such surfaces to their condition prior to the commencement of this Lease. Tenant shall also be required to close any staircases or other openings between floors. In the event possession of the Premises is not delivered to Landlord when required hereunder, or if Tenant shall fail to remove those items described above, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to), at Tenant’s expense, remove any of such property and store, sell or otherwise deal with such property, and undertake, at Tenant’s expense, such restoration work as Landlord deems necessary or advisable.
(b) If, without objection by Landlord, Tenant holds possession of the Premises after expiration of the term of this Lease, Tenant shall become a tenant from month-to-month on the terms specified in this Lease, except those pertaining to term, option to extend, but at a monthly rental negotiable between the Parties, payable in advance on or before the first day of each month. Each party shall give the other notice of intention to terminate the tenancy at least one (1) month prior to the date of termination of a monthly tenancy.
(c) If, over Landlord’s objection, Tenant holds possession of the Premises after expiration of the term of this Lease or expiration of the holdover tenancy, Tenant shall be deemed to be a tenant-at-sufferance and, without limiting the liability of Tenant for unauthorized occupancy of the Premises, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord and any replacement tenant for the Premises for any damages or loss suffered by either Landlord or the replacement tenant resulting from Tenant’s failure to vacate the Premises in a timely manner. The monthly rental shall be at two hundred percent (200%) of the then prevailing monthly rental paid by Tenant.
Section 23. Security Deposit.
Tenant has deposited with Landlord the sum specified in the Basic Lease Information (Deposit). The Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all provisions of this Lease. If Tenant fails to pay rent or other sums due under this Lease or defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, Landlord may use, apply, or retain all or any portion of the Deposit for the payment of rent or other sums in default, for the payment of any other sums to which Landlord may become obligated because of Tenant’s default, or to compensate Landlord for any loss or damage that Landlord may suffer because of the Tenant’s actions. If Landlord uses or applies the Deposit, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after demand, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Deposit to the full amount, and Tenant’s failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Deposit separate from Landlord’s general accounts. If Tenant performs all of
19
Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, the Deposit or the amount not applied by landlord shall be returned, without interest, to Tenant or at Landlord’s option, to the last assignee, if any, of Tenant’s interest under this Lease at the expiration of the Term and after Tenant has vacated the Premises. No trust relationship is created between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the Deposit. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant waives any and all rights of Tenant under the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code or other Law regarding security deposits.
Section 24. Landlord’s Liability.
Notwithstanding any other term or provision of this Lease, the liability of the Landlord for its obligations under this lease is limited solely to Landlord’s interest in the Property as the same may from time to time be encumbered, and no personal liability shall at any time be asserted or enforceable against any other assets of Landlord or against Landlord’s stockholders, directors, officers or partners on account of any of the Landlord’s actions or obligations under this Lease. In addition, in the event of the conveyance of title to the Building or the Project, then from and after the date of such conveyance, Landlord shall be relieved of all liability with respect to Landlord’s obligations to be performed under this Lease.
Section 25. Brokers.
Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that in the negotiating or making of this Lease neither Tenant nor anyone acting on its behalf has dealt with any real estate broker or finder who might be entitled to a fee or commission for this Lease other than the Broker identified the Basic Lease Information, whose commission is to be paid by Landlord. Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any claim or claims, including costs expenses and attorney’s fees incurred by Landlord, asserted by any other broker or finder for a commission based upon any dealings with or statements made by Tenant or its representatives. Tenant understands and acknowledges that Broker has represented both Tenant and Landlord in this transaction.
Section 26. Smoking.
Smoking in the building is prohibited.
Section 27. Entire Agreement.
There are no oral agreements between Landlord and Tenant affecting this Lease, and this Lease supersedes and cancels all previous negotiations, arrangements, brochures, agreements, and oral or written understandings between Landlord and Tenant or displayed by Landlord to Tenant with respect to the subject matter of this Lease. This Lease shall not be amended or modified except pursuant to a writing executed by Landlord and Tenant. There are no representations between Landlord and Tenant other than those contained in this Lease. All implied warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability and fitness, are excluded.
20
Section 28. Illegality or Unenforceability of Portion of Lease.
If any provision of this Lease is determined to be illegal or unenforceable, this determination shall not affect any other provision of this Lease, and all other provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
Section 29. Governing Law.
This Lease shall be governed by and construed pursuant to law of the State of California.
Section 30. Quiet Enjoyment.
Landlord agrees to and shall in the commencement of this Lease place Tenant in quiet possession of the Premises and shall secure it in the quiet possession thereof against all persons lawfully claiming the same during the lease term.
Section 31. Signage.
Tenant shall have the right to building standard signage in the ground floor lobby and at the entrance to Tenant’s Premises.
Section 32. Subordination.
This Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times to (i) all ground and underlying leases which now exist or may hereafter be executed affecting the Property, (ii) the lien of any mortgages or deeds of trust in any amount or amounts whatsoever now or hereafter placed on or against the Property, or on Landlord’s interest or estate therein, or portion thereof, or on or against any ground or underlying lease and (iii) any Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions or similar instrument now or hereafter recorded affecting the Property, all without the necessity of the execution and delivery of any further instruments on the part of Tenant to effectuate such subordination; provided, however, that any such future encumbrance shall provide that so long as Tenant is not in default, the terms of this Lease shall not be affected by termination proceedings in respect to such ground or underlying lease or foreclosure or other proceedings under such mortgages or deeds of trust, Tenant hereby agreeing at the written request of the landlord under such ground or underlying lease or the purchaser of the Building in such foreclosure or other proceedings, to attorn to such landlord or to such purchaser or, at such landlord’s or such purchaser’s option, to enter into a new lease for the balance of the Term upon the same terms and provisions as are contained in this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant will execute and deliver upon demand such further instrument or instruments evidencing such subordination of this Lease to the lien of any such mortgage or mortgages or deeds of trust as may be required by Landlord.
Section 33. Attorneys Fees.
If either party hereto brings an action to enforce the terms hereof or declare the rights of the parties hereunder, the prevailing party in any such action, on trial or appeal, shall be entitled to recover from the other party the reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with such action. For purposes of this provision, in any action or proceeding instituted by Landlord based upon
21
any default or alleged default by Tenant hereunder, Landlord shall be deemed the prevailing party if: (i) judgment is entered in favor of Landlord or (ii) prior to trial or judgment Tenant shall pay all or substantially all of the Rent and charges claimed by Landlord, eliminate the condition(s), cease the act(s) or otherwise cure the omission(s) claimed by Landlord to constitute a default by Tenant hereunder. Any expenses incurred in collection of sums due, whether action is brought or not, and any attorneys’ fees incurred in collection payment will be charged to Tenant.
Section 34. Relocation of Tenant.
At any time after the date of this Lease, Landlord may substitute for the Premises, other premises in the Building (the “New Premises”), in which event the New Premises shall be deemed to be the Premises for all purposes under this Lease, provided that (i) the New Premises shall be substantially similar to the Premises in area and configuration; (ii) if Tenant is then occupying the Premises, Landlord shall pay the actual and reasonable expenses of physically moving Tenant, its property and equipment to the New Premises; (iii) Landlord shall give Tenant not less than sixty (60) days’ prior written notice of such substitution; and (iv) Landlord, at its expense, shall improve the New Premises with improvements substantially similar to those in the Premises at the time of such substitution, if the Premises are then improved.
Section 35. Notices.
All notices, demands or requests provided for or permitted to be given pursuant to this Lease must be in writing and shall be personally delivered, sent by Federal Express or other reputable overnight courier service, or mailed by first class, registered or certified United States mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. All notices, demands or requests to be sent pursuant to this Lease shall be deemed to have been properly given or served by delivering or sending the same in accordance with this Section, addressed to the parties hereto at their respective addresses listed in the Basic Lease Information. Notices, demands or requests sent by mail or overnight courier service as described above shall be effective upon deposit in the mail or with such courier service. However, the time period in which a response to any such notice, demand or request must be given shall commence to run from (i) in the case of delivery by mail, the date of receipt on the return receipt of the notice, demand or request by the addressee thereof, or (ii) in the case of delivery by Federal Express or other overnight courier service, the date of acceptance of delivery by an employee, officer, director or partner of Landlord or Tenant. Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver because of changed address of which no notice was given, as indicated by advice from Federal Express or other overnight courier service or by mail return receipt, shall be deemed to be receipt of notice, demand or request sent. Notices may also be served by personal service upon any officer, director or partner of Landlord or Tenant, and shall be effective upon such service. By giving to the other party at least thirty (30) days written notice thereof, either party shall have the right from time to time during the term of this Lease to change their respective addresses for notices, statements, demands and requests, provided such new address shall be within the United States of America.
22
Section 36. Tenant Authority.
