ARTICLE 1
PREMISES, BUILDING, PROJECT, AND COMMON AREAS
1.1 Premises, Building, Project and Common Areas.
1.1.1 The Premises. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the premises which are being constructed by Landlord and are set forth in Section 2.2 of the Summary (the "Premises"). The outline of each floor of the Premises is set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto and each floor or floors of the Premises shall have approximately the number of rentable square feet as set forth in Section 2.2 of the Summary. The parties hereto agree that the lease of the Premises is upon and subject to the terms, covenants and conditions (the "TCCs") herein set forth, and Tenant covenants as a material part of the consideration for this Lease to keep and perform each and all of such TCCs by it to be kept and performed and that this Lease is made upon the condition of such performance. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that the purpose of Exhibit A is to show the approximate location of the Premises in the "Building," as that term is defined in Section 1.1.2, below, only, and such Exhibit is not meant to constitute an agreement, representation or warranty as to the construction of the Premises, the precise area thereof or the specific location of the "Common Areas," as that term is defined in Section 1.1.3, below, or the elements thereof or of the accessways to the Premises or the "Project," as that term is defined in Section 1.1.2, below. Except as specifically set forth in this Lease and in the Work Letter Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Work Letter Agreement"), Landlord shall not be obligated to provide or pay for any improvement work or services related to the improvement of the Premises. Tenant also acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty regarding the condition of the Premises, the Building or the Project or with respect to the suitability of any of the foregoing for the conduct of Tenant's business, except as specifically set forth in this Lease and the Work Letter Agreement. The taking of possession of each floor of the Premises by Tenant shall conclusively establish that such floor of the Premises was at such time in good and sanitary order, condition and repair, subject only to (i) punchlist items provided to Landlord in writing within thirty (30) days following Landlord's delivery of the Premises to Tenant, (ii) latent defects to the extent identified and, thereafter, promptly communicated to Landlord, (iii) Landlord's ongoing obligations set forth in Sections 1.1.3 and 29.33, and Articles 7 and 24 of this Lease, and (iv) the terms of the Work Letter Agreement.
1.1.2 The Building and The Project. The Premises are a part of the building set forth in Section 2.1 of the Summary (the "Building"). The Building is part of an office project known as "Xxxxxx Sabre Springs." The term "Project," as used in this Lease, shall mean (i) the Building and the Common Areas, (ii) the land (which is improved with landscaping, parking facilities and other improvements) upon which the Building and the Common Areas are located, and (iii) the other office buildings commonly known as 13480 and 00000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx North (respectively, the "13480 Building" and "13520 Building"), which are located adjacent to the Building and the land upon which such adjacent office buildings are located.
1.1.3 Common Areas. Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use in common with other tenants in the Project, and subject to the rules and regulations referred to in Article 5 of this Lease, those portions of the Project which are provided, from time to time, for use in common by Landlord, Tenant and any other tenants of the Project (such areas, together with such other portions of the Project designated by Landlord, in its discretion, including certain areas designated for the exclusive use of certain tenants, or to be shared by Landlord and certain tenants, are collectively referred to herein as the "Common Areas"). Prior to July 1, 2010, the Common Areas shall consist of the "Project Common Areas" and the "Building Common Areas." The term "Project Common Areas," as used in this Lease, shall mean the portion of the Project reasonably designated as such by Landlord. The term "Building Common Areas," as used in this Lease, shall mean the portions of the Common Areas located within the Building reasonably designated as
6
such by Landlord. Landlord shall operate and maintain the Common Areas in a manner consistent with the "Comparable Buildings" as that term is set forth in Section 4 of Exhibit G, attached to this Lease. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, the use of the Common Areas shall be subject to the express provisions of this Lease and such rules, regulations and restrictions as Landlord may make from time to time, provided that such rules, regulations and restrictions do not (a) unreasonably interfere with the rights granted to Tenant under this Lease and the Permitted Use granted under Section 5.1, below, or (b) materially increase the cost of Tenant's occupancy of the Premises through a material increase in Additional Rent. Landlord reserves the right to close temporarily, make alterations or additions to, or change the location of elements of the Project and the Common Areas; provided that no such changes shall be permitted which materially reduce Tenant's rights or access hereunder, or otherwise materially interferes with Tenant's ability to use the Premises for the Permitted Use. Except when and where Tenant's right of access is specifically excluded in this Lease, Tenant shall have the right of access to the Premises, the Building, and the Project parking facility twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week during the "Lease Term," as that term is defined in Section 2.1, below.
1.2 Verification of Rentable Square Feet of Premises and Building. For purposes of this Lease, "rentable square feet" shall be calculated pursuant to Standard Method of Measuring Floor Area in Office Building, ANSI Z65.1 - 1996, and its accompanying guidelines, as applicable to single-tenant buildings (collectively, "BOMA"). Within thirty (30) days after the Lease Commencement Date, Landlord's space planner/architect shall measure the rentable square feet of the entire Premises on a floor-by-floor basis, and thereafter such determined rentable square footages of the Premises, each floor-by-floor portion of the Premises, and the results thereof shall be presented to Tenant in writing. Tenant's space planner/architect may review Landlord's space planner/architect's determination of the number of rentable square feet and usable square feet of the Premises and Tenant may, within fifteen (15) business days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's space planner/architect's written determination, object to such determination by written notice to Landlord. Tenant's failure to deliver written notice of such objection within said fifteen (15) business day period shall be deemed to constitute Tenant's acceptance of Landlord's space planner/architect's determination. If Tenant objects to such determination, Landlord's space planner/architect and Tenant's space planner/architect shall promptly meet and attempt to agree upon the rentable and usable square footage of the Premises. If Landlord's space planner/architect and Tenant's space planner/architect cannot agree on the rentable and useable square footage of the Premises within thirty (30) days after Tenant's objection thereto, Landlord and Tenant shall mutually select an independent third party space measurement professional to field measure the Premises pursuant to BOMA. Such third party independent measurement professional's determination shall be conclusive and binding on Landlord and Tenant. [***] pay [***] of the fees and expenses of the independent third party space measurement professional. If the Lease Term commences prior to such final determination, [***] determination shall be utilized until a final determination is made, whereupon an appropriate adjustment, if necessary, shall be made retroactively, and Landlord shall make appropriate payment (if applicable) to Tenant. In the event that pursuant to the procedure described in this Section 1.2 above, it is determined that the square footage amounts shall be different from those set forth in this Lease, all amounts, percentages and figures appearing or referred to in this Lease based upon such incorrect amount (including, without limitation, the amount of the "Rent" and any "Security Deposit," as those terms are defined in Section 4.1 and Article 21 of this Lease, respectively, and the amount of the "Improvement Allowance," as that term is defined in Section 2.1 of the Work Letter Agreement) shall be modified in accordance with such determination. If such determination is made, it will be confirmed in writing by Landlord to Tenant.
1.3 13480 Premises; 13480 Lease. Landlord and Tenant are parties to that certain Office Lease dated as of even date herewith (the "13480 Lease"), whereby Tenant leases from Landlord, and Landlord leases to Tenant those certain premises consisting of the entirety of the 13480 Building
[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.
7
and containing approximately 147,533 rentable square feet (the "13480 Premises"). The terms of the 13480 Lease shall govern Tenant's lease of the 13480 Premises in all respects and the terms of this Lease shall not be applicable with respect to the Existing Lease, except to the extent expressly set forth to the contrary herein and therein.
1.4 Bank Space; Project Gym.
1.4.1 Bank Space. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge that as of the date of this Lease, First Pacific Bank of California ("First Pacific") leases 5,316 rentable square feet of space (the "First Pacific Space") on the first (1st) floor of the Building pursuant to a lease (the "First Pacific Lease") that is scheduled to expire on February 29, 2012 (subject to any renewal rights set forth in the First Pacific Lease). If First Pacific, for any reason, continues to lease the First Pacific Space as of July 1, 2010, then for such time and for so long as First Pacific thereafter continues to lease the First Pacific Space during the Lease Term, (i) the rentable square footage of the Premises shall be equal to rentable square feet of the Building, as calculated pursuant to Section 1.2, above, less 5,316 rentable square feet, (ii) Tenant acknowledges that First Pacific employees, customers and other invitees may access First Pacific Space through the Building lobby and Tenant agrees not to take any action that would materially and adversely impact First Pacific, its customers, employees or invitees, (iii) all lobby signage, decorations and finishes, any improvements, and any access control personnel located in the lobby shall be subject to Landlord's prior approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld taking into consideration the fact that the lobby is being used by Tenant and First Pacific Bank, and (iv) the number of parking spaces provided to First Pacific by Landlord (which shall not exceed twenty-seven (27) parking spaces) shall be deducted from the total number of parking space provided to Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and Tenant acknowledges and agrees that First Pacific shall be provided up to ten (10) unreserved visitor parking spaces directly in front of the Building, which shall also be deducted from the total number of parking space provided to Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease. If the rentable square footage of the Premises is adjusted pursuant to the terms so this Section 1.4.1, then all amounts, percentages and figures appearing or referred to in this Lease based upon such incorrect amount shall be modified in accordance with such adjustment. If such adjustment is made, it will be confirmed in writing by Landlord to Tenant. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the First Pacific Lease, the First Pacific Space shall be automatically added to the Premises and the rentable square footage of the Premises shall be equal to rentable square feet of the Building, as calculated pursuant to Section 1.2, and all amounts, percentages and figures appearing or referred to in this Lease based upon such incorrect amount shall be modified and confirmed in writing by Landlord to Tenant. Landlord shall not extend the term of the First Pacific Lease except pursuant to a renewal or extension right set forth in the First Pacific Lease; provided, however, Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that any such renewal or extension right need not be exercised strictly pursuant to its terms as long as such renewal or extension is not for a materially longer term than is set forth in the First Pacific Lease as written.
1.4.2 Project Gym. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge that as of the date of this Lease, the Building currently contains a gym located on the first floor (the "Project Gym") for use by the officers, directors and employees of tenants of the Project. Landlord and Tenant further acknowledge and agree that Landlord shall expand the size of the Project Gym on or before April 1, 2010; provided, however, in no event shall the size of the Project Gym exceed 2,200 usable square feet. If the Project Gym remains in the Building as of July 1, 2010, then for such time and for so long as the Project Gym thereafter continues to remain in the Building, (i) the rentable square footage of the Premises shall be equal to rentable square feet of the Building, as calculated pursuant to Section 1.2, above, less [***] of the usable square footage of the Project Gym (it being acknowledged that [***] of the usable square footage of the Project Gym shall be allocated to the rentable square footage of each office building in the Project), (ii) if and when the Project Gym is

removed from the Building, the Project Gym space shall be automatically added to the Premises and the rentable square footage of the Premises shall be equal to rentable square feet of the Building, as calculated pursuant to Section 1.2, and (iii) Landlord shall construct a separate exterior entrance to the Project Gym so that officers, directors and employees of other tenants of the Project can access the Project Gym without going through the Building lobby. If the rentable square footage of the Premises is adjusted pursuant to the terms so this Section 1.4.2, then all amounts, percentages and figures appearing or referred to in this Lease based upon such incorrect amount shall be modified in accordance with such adjustment, and shall be confirmed in writing by Landlord to Tenant.
ARTICLE 2
LEASE TERM; OPTION TERM(S)
2.1 Initial Lease Term. The TCCs and provisions of this Lease shall be effective as of the date of this Lease.

2.2 Option Term(s).
2.2.1 Option Right. Landlord hereby grants the Original Tenant, its Permitted Transferees and any approved assignee of all of Original Tenant's interest in this Lease and the "13480 Lease" (defined in Section 1.4) pursuant to the TCCs of Article 14 (a "Approved Assignee") (collectively, the "Right Holders"), two (2) options to extend the Lease Term for the entire Premises, each by a period of five (5) years (each, an "Option Term"). Such option shall be exercisable only by Notice delivered by Tenant to Landlord as provided below, provided that, as of the date of delivery of such Notice, (i) Tenant is not then in monetary or material non-monetary default under this Lease or the 13480 Lease (beyond any applicable notice and cure periods), (ii) Tenant has not been in monetary or material non-monetary default under this Lease or the 13480 Lease (beyond any applicable notice and cure periods) more than once during the prior [***] month period, (iii) Landlord reasonably determines that Tenant is not a party of reasonable financial worth and/or financial stability in light of the responsibilities to be undertaken in connection with Tenant's lease of the Premises during the Option Term, (iv) this Lease and the 13480 Lease then remain in full force and effect and Original Tenant, its Permitted Transferees and/or its Approved Assignees are then in occupancy of no less than [***] of the rentable square footage of the Premises, and (v) concurrently with Tenant's exercise of its option to extend the Term of this Lease for the Option Term, Tenant also exercises its corresponding option to extend the term of the 13480 Lease pursuant to the TCCs thereof (the foregoing items (i) through (v) collectively constituting the "Exercise Conditions"). Upon the proper exercise of each such option to extend, and provided that, as of the end of the then-applicable Lease Term, there is no then-existing violation of the Exercise Conditions, the Lease Term, as it applies to the entire Premises, shall be

extended for a period of five (5) years. The rights contained in this Section 2.2 shall only be exercised by the Right Holders (but not any other assignee, sublessee or other transferee of Tenant's interest in this Lease). If Tenant fails to exercise its first option to extend, the second option to extend shall no longer apply
2.2.2 Option Rent. The Rent payable by Tenant during each Option Term (the "Option Rent") shall be equal to (a) [***] of the "Market Rent," as that term is defined in, and determined pursuant to, Exhibit G attached hereto, during the first (1st) Option Term, and (b) [***] of the Market Rent during the second (2nd) Option Term; provided, however, that the Market Rent for each Lease Year during such Option Term shall be equal to the amount set forth on a "Market Rate Schedule," as that term is defined below, and under no circumstances shall the Market Rent for any Lease Year occurring during any Option Term, as set forth on the Market Rate Schedule, be less than the corresponding "Contract Rent," as that term is defined below, as such Contract Rent is set forth on the "Contract Rate Schedule," as that term is defined below. The "Market Rate Schedule" shall be derived from the Market Rent for the Option Term as determined pursuant to Exhibit G, attached hereto, as follows: (i) the Market Rent for the first Lease Year of the Option Term shall be equal to the sum of [***] and (ii) the Market Rent for each subsequent Lease Year shall be equal to [***] of the prior Lease Year's Market Rent. The "Contract Rate Schedule" shall be derived from the Base Rent applicable to the Premises for the Lease Year immediately preceding such Option Term, as follows: (x) the "Contract Rent" for the first Lease Year of any Option Term shall equal the sum of (A) the Base Rent in effect under this Lease for the Lease Year immediately preceding the commencement of the subject Option Term, (B) an amount equal to the "Excess" (as defined in Section 4.4) which is due under Article 4 of this Lease for the Base Year immediately preceding the commencement of the subject Option Term, and (C) an amount equal to the monthly amortization reimbursement payment for the "Renewal Allowance" (as defined in Section 3 of Exhibit G to this Lease) to be paid by Landlord in connection with Tenant's lease of the Premises for the Option Term, with such Renewal Allowance being amortized at a reasonable rate of return to Landlord based on the rates of return then being received by the landlords of the Comparable Buildings in connection with tenant improvement allowances then be granted by such landlords, and (y) the Contract Rent for each subsequent Lease Year shall be equal to [***] of the prior Lease Year's Contract Rent. The calculation of the Market Rent shall be derived from a review of, and comparison to, the "Net Equivalent Lease Rates" of the "Comparable Transactions," as provided for in Exhibit G. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Lease to the contrary, the Base Year for the applicable Option Term with respect to the Renewal Space shall be the calendar year in which the Option Term commences.
2.2.3 Exercise of Options. The options contained in this Section 2.2 shall be exercised by Tenant, if at all, only in the manner set forth in this Section 2.2.3. Tenant shall deliver notice (the "Exercise Notice") to Landlord not more than eighteen (18) months nor less than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the then Lease Term, stating that Tenant is irrevocably exercising its extension option; provided, however, in the event Tenant fails to deliver the Exercise Notice by the date which is twelve months prior to the expiration of the then Lease Term, then Landlord shall deliver Tenant written notice of such failure (the "Reminder Notice"), in which event, notwithstanding the failure identified in such Reminder Notice, Tenant shall be deemed to have timely delivered the Exercise Notice as long as the same is delivered to Landlord within five (5) business days following Tenant's receipt of the Reminder Notice. If Tenant timely delivers an Exercise Notice to Landlord, then, on or before the date which is nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the then Lease Term, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord Tenant's calculation of the Market Rent (the "Tenant's Option Rent Calculation"). Landlord shall deliver notice (the "Landlord Response Notice") to Tenant on or before the date that is eight (8) months prior to the end of the applicable Term, (the "Landlord Response Date"), stating that (A) Landlord is

accepting Tenant's Option Rent Calculation as the Market Rent, or (B) rejecting Tenant's Option Rent Calculation and setting forth Landlord's calculation of the Market Rent (the "Landlord's Option Rent Calculation"). Within ten (10) business days of its receipt of the Landlord Response Notice, Tenant shall deliver written notice to Landlord (the "Tenant Election Notice"), which shall set forth Tenant election to either (i) accept the Market Rent contained in the Landlord's Option Rent Calculation, or (ii) reject the Market Rent contained in the Landlord's Option Rent Calculation, in which event the parties shall follow the procedure, and the Market Rent shall be determined as set forth in Section 2.2.4. Tenant's failure to timely deliver the Tenant Election Notice shall be conclusively deemed to constitute Tenant's election to proceed pursuant to alternative (ii) from the immediately preceding sentence.
2.2.4 Determination of Market Rent. In the event Tenant objects or is deemed to have objected to the Market Rent, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon the Market Rent using reasonable good-faith efforts. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement within sixty (60) days following Tenant's objection or deemed objection to the Landlord's Option Rent Calculation (the "Outside Agreement Date"), then each party shall make a separate, final and binding determination of the Market Rent, within five (5) days following the Outside Agreement Date, and such determinations shall be submitted to the other party and to the arbitrators pursuant to the TCCs of this Section 2.2.4.
2.2.4.1 Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one arbitrator who shall by profession be a commercial real estate lease broker or commercial real estate lease appraiser who shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the leasing (or appraisal, as the case may be) of Comparable Buildings. The determination of the arbitrators shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord's or Tenant's submitted Market Rent, is the closest to the actual Market Rent as determined by the arbitrators, taking into account the requirements of Section 2.2.2 of this Lease. Each such arbitrator shall be appointed within fifteen (15) days after the applicable Outside Agreement Date. Landlord and Tenant may consult with their selected arbitrators prior to appointment and may select an arbitrator who is favorable to their respective positions. The arbitrators so selected by Landlord and Tenant shall be deemed ("Advocate Arbitrators").
2.2.4.2 The two Advocate Arbitrators so appointed shall be specifically required pursuant to an engagement letter within ten (10) days of the date of the appointment of the last appointed Advocate Arbitrator agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator ("Neutral Arbitrator") who shall be a commercial real estate lease attorney who shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the leasing of Comparable Buildings, except that neither the Landlord or Tenant or either party's Advocate Arbitrator may, directly or indirectly, consult with the Neutral Arbitrator prior to or subsequent to his or her appearance; provided, however, the Neutral Arbitrator shall retain an appraiser (the "Neutral Appraiser") to assist such Neutral Arbitrator (which Neutral Appraiser shall be selected by the Advocates Arbitrators). The Neutral Appraiser shall be retained for the sole purpose of advising and assisting the Neutral Arbitrator, and such Neutral Appraiser shall not have an independent vote as the whether Landlord's or Tenant's submitted Market Rent is closest to the Market Rent. In no event shall either the Neutral Arbitrator or the Neutral Appraiser have represented (or have been engaged to represent) Landlord or Tenant during the five (5) year period preceding the Outside Agreement Date or have any business or ownership affiliation with either of the Advocate Arbitrators during such five (5) year period (as opposed to having had professional interaction with the same). The Neutral Arbitrator shall be retained via an engagement letter jointly prepared by Landlord's counsel and Tenant's counsel.
11
2.2.4.3 The parties shall, in connection with the determination of the Market Rent, enter into an arbitration agreement (the "Arbitration Agreement") which shall set forth the following: [***]
2.2.4.4 If either Landlord or Tenant fail to appoint an Advocate Arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after the applicable Outside Agreement Date, either party may petition the presiding judge of the Superior Court of San Diego County to appoint such Advocate Arbitrator subject to the criteria in Section 2.2.4.1 of this Lease, or if he or she refuses to act, either party may petition any judge having jurisdiction over the parties to appoint such Advocate Arbitrator.
2.2.4.5 If the two Advocate Arbitrators fail to agree upon and appoint the Neutral Arbitrator, then either party may petition the presiding judge of the Superior Court of San Diego County to appoint the Neutral Arbitrator, subject to criteria in Section 2.2.4.1 of this Lease, or if he or she refuses to act, either party may petition any judge having jurisdiction over the parties to appoint such arbitrator.
2.2.4.6 The costs of the Neutral Arbitrator and Neutral Appraiser shall be [***]. The costs of the Advocate Arbitrator representing the Tenant shall be borne by the Tenant. The Costs of the Advocate Arbitrator representing the Landlord shall be borne by the Landlord. The costs of petitioning any judge under Section 2.2.4.4 shall be [***]. The costs of petitioning any judge under Section 2.2.4.5 shall be [***].
ARTICLE 3
BASE RENT; ABATEMENT OF RENT
3.1 Base Rent. Tenant shall pay, without prior notice or demand, to Landlord or Landlord's agent at the management office of the Project, or, at Landlord's option, at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing, by a check for currency which, at the time of payment, is legal tender for private or public debts in the United States of America, base rent ("Base Rent") as set forth in Section 4 of the Summary, payable in equal monthly installments as set forth in Section 4 of the Summary in advance on or before the first day of each and every calendar month during the Lease Term, without any setoff or deduction whatsoever. The Base Rent for the first full month of the Lease Term which occurs after the expiration of any free rent period shall be paid at the time of Tenant's execution of this Lease. If any Rent payment date (including the Lease Commencement Date) falls on a day of the month other than the first day of such month or if any payment of Rent is for a period which is shorter than one month, the Rent for any such fractional month shall accrue on a daily basis during such fractional month and shall total an amount equal to the product of (i) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such fractional month and the denominator of which is the actual number of days occurring in such calendar month, and (ii) the then-applicable Monthly Installment of Base Rent. All other payments or adjustments required to be made under the TCCs of this Lease that require proration on a time basis shall be prorated on the same basis.
3.2 Abatement of Rent. In the event that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or any portion thereof, as a result of (i) [***]; or (ii) [***]; or (iii) the presence of "Hazardous Materials" (as that term is defined in Section 29.33.1, below) not brought on the Premises by "Tenant Parties," as that term is set forth in Section 10.1 of this Lease, to the extent such presence substantially interferes with Tenant's use of or ingress to or egress from the Building, Project (including the Common Areas), or Premises (including the Project parking areas to the extent reasonable replacement spaces are not provided) (any such set of circumstances as set forth in items (i) through (iii) , above, to be known as an "Abatement Event"), then Tenant shall give Landlord notice of such Abatement Event, and if such Abatement Event continues for five (5) or more consecutive business
[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.
12
days after Landlord's receipt of any such notice (the "Eligibility Period"), then Tenant may deliver an additional notice to Landlord (the "Additional Notice"), specifying such Abatement Event and Tenant's intention to xxxxx the payment of Rent under this Lease. If Landlord does not cure such Abatement Event within three (3) business days of receipt of such Additional Notice, then as Tenant's sole remedy vis-à-vis such Abatement Event, the Base Rent and Tenant's Share of Direct Expenses shall be abated or reduced, as the case may be, after expiration of the Eligibility Period, for such time that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises, or a portion thereof, in the proportion of the rentable area of the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using and does not use ("Unusable Area"). To the extent an Abatement Event is caused by an event covered by Articles 11 or 13 of this Lease, then the terms of such Article 11 or 13, as the case may be, shall govern Tenant's right to xxxxx rent and the terms of this Section 6.6 shall not be applicable thereto.
4.1 General Terms. In addition to paying the Base Rent specified in Article 3 of this Lease, Tenant shall pay "Tenant's Share" of the annual "Direct Expenses" (as those terms are defined in Sections 4.2.6 and 4.2.2, respectively, of this Lease), which are in excess of the amount of Direct Expenses applicable to the "Base Year," as that term is defined in Section 4.2.1, below; provided, however, that in no event shall any decrease in Direct Expenses for any Expense Year below Direct Expenses for the Base Year entitle Tenant to any decrease in Base Rent or any credit against sums due under this Lease. Such payments by Tenant, together with any and all other amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the TCCs of this Lease, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Additional Rent," and the Base Rent and the Additional Rent are herein collectively referred to as "Rent." All amounts due under this Article 4 as Additional Rent shall be payable for the same periods and in the same manner as the Base Rent; provided, however, the parties hereby acknowledge that the first monthly installment of Tenant's Share of any "Estimated Excess," as that term is set forth in, and pursuant to the terms and conditions of, Section 4.4.2 of this Lease, shall first be due and payable for the calendar month occurring immediately following the expiration of the Base Year. Without limitation on other obligations of Tenant which survive the expiration of the Lease Term, the obligations of Tenant to pay the Additional Rent provided for in this Article 4 shall survive the expiration of the Lease Term.
4.2 Definitions of Key Terms Relating to Additional Rent. As used in this Article 4, the following terms shall have the meanings hereinafter set forth:
4.2.1 "Base Year" shall mean the period set forth in Section 5 of the Summary.
4.2.2 "Direct Expenses" shall mean "Operating Expenses," "Tax Expenses" and "Utilities Costs."
4.2.3 "Expense Year" shall mean each calendar year in which any portion of the Lease Term falls, through and including the calendar year in which the Lease Term expires, provided that Landlord, upon notice to Tenant, may change the Expense Year from time to time to any other twelve (12) consecutive month period, and, in the event of any such change, Tenant's Share of Direct Expenses shall be equitably adjusted for any Expense Year involved in any such change.
4.2.4 "Operating Expenses" shall be calculated in accordance with sound real estate accounting practices, consistently applied from year to year, and shall mean all expenses, costs and amounts of every kind and nature which, in accordance with sound real estate management practices, consistently applied from year to year, Landlord pays or accrues during any Expense Year because of or in connection with the ownership, management, maintenance, security, repair, replacement, restoration or operation of the Project, or any portion thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Operating Expenses shall specifically include any and all of the

[***] If Landlord is not furnishing any particular work or service (the cost of which, if performed by Landlord, would be included in Operating Expenses) to a tenant who has undertaken to perform such work or service in lieu of the performance thereof by Landlord, Operating Expenses shall be deemed to be increased by an amount equal to the additional Operating Expenses which would reasonably have been incurred during such period by Landlord if it had at its own expense furnished such work or service to such tenant. If the Project is not at least [***] percent ([***]%) occupied during all or a portion of the Base Year or any Expense Year, Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment to the components of Operating Expenses for such year to determine the amount of Operating Expenses that would have been incurred had the Project been [***] percent ([***]%) occupied; and the amount so determined shall be deemed to have been the amount of Operating Expenses for such year. Operating Expenses for the Base Year shall include market-wide cost increases (including utility rate increases) due to extraordinary circumstances, including, but not limited to, Force Majeure, boycotts, strikes, conservation surcharges, embargoes or shortages, or amortized costs relating to capital improvements (collectively, "Increases"); provided, however, that at such time as any such particular Increases are no longer included in Operating Expenses, such Increases shall be excluded from the Base Year calculation of Operating Expenses. In no event shall the components of Direct Expenses for any Expense Year related to Utility Costs or Project services or Project insurance costs be less than the corresponding components of Direct Expenses related to Utility Costs, Project Services and Project insurance costs in the Base Year. Landlord shall not (i) make a profit by charging items to Operating Expenses that are otherwise also charged separately to others and (ii) subject to Landlord's right to adjust the components of Operating Expenses described above in this paragraph, collect Operating Expenses from Tenant and all other tenants in the Project in an amount in excess of what Landlord incurs for the items included in Operating Expenses. If Landlord, in any Expense Year following the Base Year, begins providing any new category of services (as opposed to an expansion in scope of a service or a change in a type of service) (the "New Services"), then for such period of time in which such New Services apply, Operating Expenses for the Base Year shall be increased by the amount that Landlord reasonably determines it would have incurred had Landlord provided such New Services during the same period of time during the Base Year as such New Services were provided during such subsequent Expense Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment to the Operating Expenses for the Base Year shall occur to the extent such New Services (1) are attributable to Tenant's use of the Premises (as opposed to office use generally), in which case Landlord may elect (Y) to include the cost of such New Services in Operating Expenses, or (Z) to invoice Tenant directly for such costs, depending upon the nature of the New Services and the extent to which the need for such New Services is directly attributable to Tenant's use, as determined in Landlord's reasonable discretion, (2) is being offered by landlords in the majority of Comparable Buildings, or (3) is required by "Applicable Laws," as that Term is set forth in Article 24. If Landlord, in any Expense Year after the Base Year, discontinues any type or category of service then for such period of time in which such services are discontinued, Operating Expenses for the Base Year shall be decreased by the amount that Landlord reasonably determines it incurred for such type or category of service throughout the Base Year. In no event shall Tenant be responsible to pay any "Controllable Expenses", as defined below, to the extent such Controllable Expenses exceed an amount that such Controllable Expenses would have been had they increased, from the amount of Controllable Expenses incurred during the first twelve (12) month period following Tenant's commencement of business in the entire Premises, at a compounded rate of [***] per Expense Year (the "Cap"). As used herein "Controllable Expenses" shall mean any costs incurred by Landlord
[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.
17
relating to services (not including utility services) provided to the Project, labor costs paid by Landlord, and maintenance contracts paid by Landlord. Controllable Expenses shall not include Tax Expenses, costs relating to the HVAC systems of a Building, costs of insurance premiums, utility charges, or market-wide increases in labor costs due to extraordinary circumstances, including, without limitation, boycotts and strikes.
4.2.5 Taxes.
4.2.5.1 "Tax Expenses" shall mean all federal, state, county, or local governmental or municipal taxes, fees, charges or other impositions of every kind and nature, whether general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, (including, without limitation, real estate taxes, general and special assessments, transit taxes, leasehold taxes or taxes based upon the receipt of rent, including gross receipts or sales taxes applicable to the receipt of rent, unless required to be paid by Tenant, personal property taxes imposed upon the fixtures, machinery, equipment, apparatus, systems and equipment, appurtenances, furniture and other personal property used in connection with the Project, or any portion thereof), excluding fines, default interest, and penalties, which shall be paid or accrued during any Expense Year (without regard to any different fiscal year used by such governmental or municipal authority) because of or in connection with the ownership, leasing and operation of the Project, or any portion thereof. [***]
4.2.5.2 Tax Expenses shall include, without limitation: (i) Any tax on the rent, right to rent or other income from the Project, or any portion thereof, or as against the business of leasing the Project, or any portion thereof; (ii) Any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge in addition to, or in substitution, partially or totally, of any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge previously included within the definition of real property tax, it being acknowledged by Tenant and Landlord that Proposition 13 was adopted by the voters of the State of California in the June 1978 election ("Proposition 13") and that assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges may be imposed by governmental agencies for such services as fire protection, street, sidewalk and road maintenance, refuse removal and for other governmental services formerly provided without charge to property owners or occupants, and, in further recognition of the decrease in the level and quality of governmental services and amenities as a result of Proposition 13, Tax Expenses shall also include any governmental or private assessments or the Project's contribution towards a governmental or private cost-sharing agreement for the purpose of augmenting or improving the quality of services and amenities normally provided by governmental agencies; (iii) Any assessment, tax, fee, levy, or charge allocable to or measured by the area of the Premises or the Rent payable hereunder, including, without limitation, any business or gross income tax or excise tax with respect to the receipt of such rent, or upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operating, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises, or any portion thereof; and (iv) Any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge, upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party, creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises [***].
4.2.5.3 Any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in attempting to protest, reduce or minimize Tax Expenses shall be included in Tax Expenses in the Expense Year such expenses are paid. Except as set forth in Section 4.2.5.4, below, refunds of Tax Expenses shall be credited against Tax Expenses and refunded to Tenant regardless of when received, based on the Expense Year to which the refund is applicable, provided that in no event shall the amount to be refunded to Tenant for any such Expense Year exceed the total amount paid by Tenant as Additional Rent under this Article 4 for such Expense Year. If Tax Expenses for any period during the Lease Term or any extension thereof are increased after payment thereof for any reason, including, without limitation, error or reassessment by applicable governmental or municipal authorities, Tenant shall pay Landlord
[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.
18
upon demand Tenant's Share of any such increased Tax Expenses included by Landlord as Building Tax Expenses pursuant to the TCCs of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.2.5 (except as set forth in Section 4.2.5.1, above), there shall be excluded from Tax Expenses (i) all excess profits taxes, franchise taxes, gift taxes, capital stock taxes, inheritance and succession taxes, estate taxes, federal and state income taxes, and other taxes to the extent applicable to Landlord's general or net income (as opposed to rents, receipts or income attributable to operations at the Project), (ii) any items included as Operating Expenses, and (iii) any items paid by Tenant under Section 4.5 of this Lease.
4.2.5.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, the amount of Tax Expenses for the Base Year and any Expense Year shall be calculated without taking into account any decreases in real estate taxes obtained in connection with Proposition 8, and, therefore, the Tax Expenses in the Base Year and/or an Expense Year may be greater than those actually incurred by Landlord, but shall, nonetheless, be the Tax Expenses due under this Lease; provided that (i) any costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in securing any Proposition 8 reduction shall not be included in Direct Expenses for purposes of this Lease, and (ii) tax refunds under Proposition 8 shall not be deducted from Tax Expenses, but rather shall be the sole property of Landlord. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that this Section 4.2.5.4 is not intended to in any way affect (A) the inclusion in Tax Expenses of the statutory two percent (2.0%) annual increase in Tax Expenses (as such statutory increase may be modified by subsequent legislation), or (B) the inclusion or exclusion of Tax Expenses pursuant to the terms of Proposition 13, which shall be governed pursuant to the terms of Sections 4.2.5.1 through 4.2.5.3, above.
4.2.5.5 [***]
4.2.6 "Tenant's Share" shall mean the percentage set forth in Section 6 of the Summary. Tenant's Share was calculated by multiplying the number of rentable square feet of the Premises, as set forth in Section 2.2 of the Summary, by 100, and dividing the product by the total number of rentable square feet in the Building.
4.2.7 "Utilities Costs" shall mean all actual charges for utilities for the Building and the Project which Landlord shall pay during any Expense Year, including, but not limited to, the costs of water, sewer and electricity, and the costs of HVAC (excluding the cost of electricity to operate the HVAC air handlers) and other utilities (but excluding (i) the cost of electricity consumed in the Premises and any other buildings in the Project (since Tenant is separately paying for the cost of electricity pursuant to Section 6.1.2 below) and (ii) those charges for which tenants directly reimburse Landlord or otherwise pay directly to the utility company) as well as related fees, assessments and surcharges. Utilities Costs shall be calculated assuming the Buildings (and during the period of time when any other office buildings are fully constructed and ready for occupancy and are included by Landlord within the Project), are at least [***] percent ([***]%) occupied. If, during all or any part of any Expense Year, Landlord shall not provide any utilities other than gas and electricity (the cost of which, if provided by Landlord, would be included in Utilities Costs) to a tenant (including Tenant) who has undertaken to provide the same instead of Landlord, Utilities Costs shall be deemed to be increased by an amount equal to the additional Utilities Costs which would reasonably have been incurred during such period by Landlord if Landlord had at its own expense provided such utilities to such tenant. Utilities Costs shall include any costs of utilities which are allocated to the Real Property under any declaration, restrictive covenant, or other instrument pertaining to the sharing of costs by the Real Property or any portion thereof, including any covenants, conditions or restrictions now or hereafter recorded against or affecting the Real Property. For purposes of determining Utilities Costs incurred for the Utilities Base Year, Utilities Costs for the Utilities Base Year shall not include any one time special charges, costs or fees or
[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.
19
extraordinary charges or costs incurred in the Utilities Base Year only, including those attributable to boycotts, embargoes, strikes or other shortages of services or fuel. In addition, if in any Expense Year subsequent to the Utilities Base Year, the amount of Utilities Costs decreases due to a reduction in the cost of providing utilities to the Real Property for any reason, including without limitation, because of deregulation of the utility industry and/or reduction in rates achieved in contracts with utilities providers, then for purposes of the Expense Year in which such decrease in Utilities Costs occurred and all subsequent Expense Years, the Utilities Costs for the Utilities Base Year shall be decreased by an amount equal to such decrease.
4.3 Allocation of Direct Expenses. The parties acknowledge that the Building is a part of a multi-building project and that the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Project (i.e. the Direct Expenses) should be shared between the tenants of the Building and the tenants of the other buildings in the Project. Accordingly, as set forth in Section 4.2 above, Direct Expenses (which consists of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs) are determined annually for the Project as a whole, and a portion of the Direct Expenses, which portion shall be determined by Landlord on an equitable basis, shall be allocated to the tenants of the Building (as opposed to the tenants of any other buildings in the Project) and such portion shall be the Direct Expenses for purposes of this Lease. Such portion of Direct Expenses allocated to the tenants of the Building shall include all Direct Expenses attributable solely to the Building and an equitable portion of the Direct Expenses attributable to the Project as a whole (i.e., Direct Expenses which are not attributable to any specific building in the Project).
4.3.1 Cost Pools. In conjunction with the allocation of Direct Expenses pursuant to Section 4.3, above, Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, to equitably allocate some or all of the Direct Expenses for the Project among different portions or occupants of the Project (the "Cost Pools"), in Landlord's discretion; [***]. For purposes of example only, such Cost Pools may include, but shall not be limited to, the office space tenants of a building of the Project or of the Project, and the retail space tenants of a building of the Project or of the Project. The Direct Expenses within each such Cost Pool shall be allocated and charged to the tenants within such Cost Pool in an equitable manner.
4.4 Calculation and Payment of Additional Rent. If for any Expense Year ending or commencing within the Lease Term, Tenant's Share of Direct Expenses for such Expense Year exceeds Tenant's Share of Direct Expenses applicable to the Base Year, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in the manner set forth in Section 4.4.1, below, and as Additional Rent, an amount equal to the excess (the "Excess").
4.4.1 Statement of Actual Building Direct Expenses and Payment by Tenant. Landlord shall give to Tenant following the end of each Expense Year, a statement (the "Statement") which shall state in general major categories the Building Direct Expenses incurred or accrued for the Base Year or such preceding Expense Year, as applicable, and which shall indicate the amount of the Excess. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such Statement to Tenant on or before May 1 following the end of the Expense Year to which such Statement relates. Upon receipt of the Statement for each Expense Year commencing or ending during the Lease Term, if an Excess is present, Tenant shall pay, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Statement, the full amount of the Excess for such Expense Year, less the amounts, if any, paid during such Expense Year as "Estimated Excess," as that term is defined in Section 4.4.2, below, and if Tenant paid more as Estimated Excess than the actual Excess, Tenant shall receive a credit in the amount of Tenant's overpayment against Rent next due under this Lease. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Statement for any Expense Year shall not prejudice Landlord or Tenant from enforcing its rights under this Article 4. Even though the Lease Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the
[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.
20
Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant's Share of Building Direct Expenses for the Expense Year in which this Lease terminates, if an Excess is present, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Statement, pay to Landlord such amount, and if Tenant paid more as Estimated Excess than the actual Excess, Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days, deliver a check payable to Tenant in the amount of the overpayment. The provisions of this Section 4.4.1 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant shall not be responsible for Tenant's Share of any Building Direct Expenses attributable to any Expense Year which are first billed to Tenant more than two (2) calendar years after the end of such Expense Year (provided that any expense that was not originally included in the Statement applicable to the Expense Year in which such expense was incurred must be billed to Tenant within [***] of the date Landlord receives the invoice for such expense), provided that in any event Tenant shall be responsible for Tenant's Share of Direct Expenses levied by any governmental authority or by any public utility companies which are attributable to any Expense Year.
4.4.2 Statement of Estimated Building Direct Expenses. In addition, Landlord shall give Tenant a yearly expense estimate statement (the "Estimate Statement") which shall set forth in general major categories Landlord's reasonable estimate (the "Estimate") of what the total amount of Building Direct Expenses for the then-current Expense Year shall be and the estimated excess (the "Estimated Excess") as calculated by comparing the Building Direct Expenses for such Expense Year, which shall be based upon the Estimate, to the amount of Building Direct Expenses for the Base Year. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such Estimate Statement to Tenant on or before May 1 following the end of the Expense Year to which such Estimate Statement relates. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Estimate Statement for any Expense Year shall not preclude Landlord from enforcing its rights to collect any Additional Rent under this Article 4, nor shall Landlord be prohibited from revising any Estimate Statement or Estimated Excess theretofore delivered to the extent necessary. Thereafter, Tenant shall pay, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Estimate Statement, a fraction of the Estimated Excess for the then-current Expense Year (reduced by any amounts paid pursuant to the second to last sentence of this Section 4.4.2). Such fraction shall have as its numerator the number of months which have elapsed in such current Expense Year, including the month of such payment, and twelve (12) as its denominator. Until a new Estimate Statement is furnished (which Landlord shall have the right to deliver to Tenant at any time), Tenant shall pay monthly, with the monthly Base Rent installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the total Estimated Excess set forth in the previous Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant. Throughout the Lease Term Landlord shall maintain books and records with respect to Building Direct Expenses in accordance with generally accepted real estate accounting and management practices, consistently applied.
4.5 Taxes and Other Charges for Which Tenant Is Directly Responsible.
4.5.1 Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay ten (10) days before delinquency, taxes levied against Tenant's equipment, furniture, fixtures and any other personal property located in or about the Premises. If any such taxes on Tenant's equipment, furniture, fixtures and any other personal property are levied against Landlord or Landlord's property or if the assessed value of Landlord's property is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon such equipment, furniture, fixtures or any other personal property and if Landlord pays the taxes based upon such increased assessment, which Landlord shall have the right to do regardless of the validity thereof but only under proper protest if requested by Tenant, Tenant shall upon demand repay to Landlord the taxes so levied against Landlord or the proportion of such taxes resulting from such increase in the assessment, as the case may be.
4.5.2 If the premises improvements in the Premises, whether installed and/or paid for by Landlord or Tenant and whether or not affixed to the real property so as to become a part
[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.
21
thereof, are assessed for real property tax purposes at a valuation higher than the valuation at which premises improvements conforming to Landlord's "building standard" in other space in the Building are assessed, then the Tax Expenses levied against Landlord or the property by reason of such excess assessed valuation shall be deemed to be taxes levied against personal property of Tenant and shall be governed by the provisions of Section 4.5.1, above; provided, however, Landlord's "building standard" shall be reasonably established vis-à-vis the customary level of premises improvements for Comparable Buildings in the Comparable Area (as such terms are defined in Exhibit G to this Lease).
4.5.3 Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency any (i) rent tax or sales tax, service tax, transfer tax or value added tax, or any other applicable tax on the rent or services herein or otherwise respecting this Lease, (ii) taxes assessed upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion of the Project, including the Project parking facility; or (iii) taxes assessed upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises.
4.6 Tenant's Payment of Certain Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this lease, in the event that, at any time during the first (1st) [***] years of the initial Lease Term, any sale, refinancing, or change in ownership of the Building is consummated (specifically excluding, however, a change in ownership due to a "Portfolio Sale," as that term is defined below, and a change in ownership to a lender resulting from a foreclosure or a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure), and as a result thereof, and to the extent that in connection therewith, the Building or Project is reassessed (the "Reassessment") for real estate tax purposes by the appropriate governmental authority pursuant to the terms of Proposition 13, then the terms and conditions of this Section 4.6 shall apply to such Reassessment of the Building or Project. For purposes of this Section 4.6, a "Portfolio Sale" shall mean a sale or other transfer of all or any portion of the Building together with one or more other properties located outside of the Project; provided, however, during the first [***] Lease Years, a Portfolio Sale shall only be deemed to have occurred if the total value of all the properties included in such transaction is equal to or greater than [***].
4.6.1 The Tax Increase. For purposes of this Article 4, the term "Tax Increase" shall mean that portion of the Tax Expenses, as calculated immediately following the Reassessment, which is attributable solely to the Reassessment. Accordingly, the term Tax Increase shall not include any portion of the Tax Expenses, as calculated immediately following the Reassessment, which (i) is attributable to the initial assessment of the value of the Project, the base, shell and core of the Building or the premises improvements located in the Building; (ii) is attributable to assessments which were pending immediately prior to the Reassessment which assessments were conducted during, and included in, such Reassessment, or which assessments were otherwise rendered unnecessary following the Reassessment; (iii) is attributable to the annual inflationary increase of real estate taxes, but not in excess of two percent (2.0%) per annum, or (iv) is attributable to Tax Expenses incurred during the Base Year (calculated without regard to the effect of Proposition 8).
4.6.2 Protection. During the first (1st) [***] years of the initial Lease Term, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay that portion of the Tax Increase relating to any Reassessment of the Building or Project.
4.6.3 Landlord's Right to Purchase the Proposition 13 Protection Amount Attributable to a Particular Reassessment. The amount of Tax Expenses which Tenant is not obligated to pay or will not be obligated to pay during the Lease Term in connection with a particular Reassessment pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 4.6, shall be sometimes referred to hereafter as a "Proposition 13 Protection Amount." If the occurrence of a Reassessment is reasonably foreseeable by Landlord and the Proposition 13 Protection Amount attributable to such Reassessment can be reasonably quantified or estimated for each Lease Year commencing with the
[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.
22
Lease Year in which the Reassessment will occur, the terms and conditions of this Section 4.6.3 shall apply to each such Reassessment. Upon Notice to Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to purchase the Proposition 13 Protection Amount relating to the applicable Reassessment (the "Applicable Reassessment"), at any time during the first (1st) [***] years of the Lease Term, by paying to Tenant an amount equal to the "Proposition 13 Purchase Price," as that term is defined in this Section 4.6.3, provided that the right of any successor of Landlord to exercise its right of repurchase hereunder shall not apply to any Reassessment which results from the event pursuant to which such successor of Landlord became the Landlord under this Lease. As used herein, "Proposition 13 Purchase Price" shall mean the present value of the Proposition 13 Protection Amount remaining during the Lease Term, as of the date of payment of the Proposition 13 Purchase Price by Landlord. Such present value shall be calculated (i) by using the portion of the Proposition 13 Protection Amount attributable to each remaining Lease Year (as though the portion of such Proposition 13 Protection Amount benefited Tenant at the end of each Lease Year), as the amounts to be discounted, and (ii) by using discount rates for each amount to be discounted equal to (A) the average rates of yield for United States Treasury Obligations with maturity dates as close as reasonably possible to the end of each Lease Year during which the portions of the Proposition 13 Protection Amount would have benefited Tenant, which rates shall be those in effect as of Landlord's exercise of its right to purchase, as set forth in this Section 4.6.3, plus (B) two percent (2%) per annum. Upon such payment of the Proposition 13 Purchase Price, the provisions of Section 4.6.2 of this Lease shall not apply to any Tax Increase attributable to the Applicable Reassessment. Since Landlord is estimating the Proposition 13 Purchase Price because a Reassessment has not yet occurred, then when such Reassessment occurs, if Landlord has underestimated the Proposition 13 Purchase Price, then upon Notice by Landlord to Tenant, Landlord shall promptly pay to Tenant the amount of such underestimation, and if Landlord overestimates the Proposition 13 Purchase Price, then upon Notice by Landlord to Tenant, Rent next due shall be increased by the amount of such overestimation.
4.7 Landlord's Books and Records. Upon Tenant's written request given not more than [***] months after Tenant's receipt of a Statement for a particular Expense Year, and provided that Tenant is not then in monetary default or material non-monetary default under this Lease beyond the applicable notice and cure period provided in this Lease, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with such reasonable supporting documentation in connection with said Building Direct Expenses as Tenant may reasonably request. Landlord shall provide said information to Tenant within sixty (60) days after Tenant's written request therefor. Within [***] months after receipt of a Statement by Tenant (the "Review Period"), if Tenant disputes the amount of Additional Rent set forth in the Statement, an independent certified public accountant (which accountant (A) is a member of a nationally or regionally recognized accounting firm, and (B) is not working on a contingency fee basis), designated and paid for by Tenant, may, after reasonable notice to Landlord and at reasonable times, inspect Landlord's records with respect to the Statement at Landlord's corporate office (located in either San Diego County or Los Angeles County), provided that Tenant is not then in monetary default or material non-monetary default under this Lease (beyond any applicable notice and cure periods) and Tenant has paid all amounts required to be paid under the applicable Estimate Statement and Statement, as the case may be. In connection with such inspection, Tenant and Tenant's agents must agree in advance to follow Landlord's reasonable rules and procedures regarding inspections of Landlord's records, and shall execute a commercially reasonable confidentiality agreement regarding such inspection. Tenant's failure to dispute the amount of Additional Rent set forth in any Statement within the Review Period shall be deemed to be Tenant's approval of such Statement and Tenant, thereafter, waives the right or ability to dispute the amounts set forth in such Statement. If after such inspection, Tenant still disputes such Additional Rent, a determination as to the proper amount shall be made, at Tenant's expense, by an independent certified public accountant (the "Accountant") selected by Landlord and subject to Tenant's reasonable approval; provided that if such determination by the
[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.
23
Accountant proves that Direct Expenses were overstated by more than five percent (5%), then the cost of the Accountant and the cost of such determination shall be paid for by Landlord. Tenant hereby acknowledges that Tenant's sole right to inspect Landlord's books and records and to contest the amount of Direct Expenses payable by Tenant shall be as set forth in this Section 4.7, and Tenant hereby waives any and all other rights pursuant to applicable law to inspect such books and records and/or to contest the amount of Direct Expenses payable by Tenant.
5.1 Permitted Use. Tenant shall use the Premises solely for the Permitted Use set forth in Section 7 of the Summary and Tenant shall not use or permit the Premises or the Project to be used for any other purpose or purposes whatsoever without the prior written consent of Landlord, which may be withheld in Landlord's sole discretion; provided, however, that Landlord shall use its reasonable discretion in determining whether a particular use is within the parameters of the Permitted Use.
5.2 Prohibited Uses. The uses prohibited under this Lease shall include, without limitation, use of the Premises or a portion thereof for (i) offices of any agency or bureau of the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof; (ii) offices or agencies of any foreign governmental or political subdivision thereof; (iii) offices of any health care professionals or service organization; (iv) schools or other training facilities which are not ancillary to corporate, executive or professional office use; (v) retail or restaurant uses; or (vi) communications firms such as radio and/or television stations. Tenant shall not allow occupancy density of use of the Premises which is greater than the occupancy density that can be reasonably supported by the Building Systems (taking into consideration any supplemental systems installed by Tenant) or which would result in the use of more Project parking spaces than provided to Tenant under the terms of this Lease (taking into consideration any offsite parking programs enacted by Tenant). Tenant further covenants and agrees that Tenant shall not use, or suffer or permit any person or persons to use, the Premises or any part thereof for any use or purpose contrary to the provisions of the Rules and Regulations set forth in Exhibit D, attached hereto, or in violation of the laws of the United States of America, the State of California, or the ordinances, regulations or requirements of the local municipal or county governing body or other lawful authorities having jurisdiction over the Project) including, without limitation, any such laws, ordinances, regulations or requirements relating to hazardous materials or substances, as those terms are defined by applicable laws now or hereafter in effect; provided, however, Landlord shall not enforce, change or modify the Rules and Regulations in a discriminatory manner and Landlord agrees that the Rules and Regulations shall not be unreasonably modified or enforced in a manner which will unreasonably interfere with the normal and customary conduct of Tenant's business. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way damage the reputation of the Project or obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the Building, or injure or unreasonably annoy them or use or allow the Premises to be used for any unlawful or reasonably objectionable purpose, nor shall Tenant cause, maintain or permit any nuisance in, on or about the Premises.
5.3 CC&Rs. Tenant shall comply with all recorded covenants, conditions, and restrictions currently affecting the Project (including, but not limited to, the prohibition against using all or any portion of the Premises as a school). Additionally, Tenant acknowledges that the Project may be subject to any future covenants, conditions, and restrictions (the "CC&Rs") which Landlord, in Landlord's discretion, deems reasonably necessary or desirable, and Tenant agrees that this Lease shall be subject and subordinate to such CC&Rs; provided, however, any such future CC&Rs shall not materially and adversely affect Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises for the Permitted Use nor any of Tenant's rights hereunder. Landlord hereby acknowledges that general office use does not violate the CC&R's. Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to execute and acknowledge, within fifteen (15) business days of a request by Landlord, a "Recognition of Covenants, Conditions, and Restriction," in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as Exhibit F, agreeing to and acknowledging the CC&Rs.
24

ARTICLE 8
ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS
8.1 Landlord's Consent to Alterations. Tenant may not make any improvements, alterations, additions or changes to the Premises or any mechanical, plumbing or HVAC facilities or systems pertaining to the Premises (collectively, the "Alterations") without first procuring the prior written consent of Landlord to such Alterations, which consent shall be requested by Tenant not less than ten (10) business days prior to the commencement thereof, and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld by Landlord, provided it shall be deemed reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to any Alteration which adversely affects the structural portions or the systems or equipment of the Building or is visible from the exterior of the Building. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be permitted to make Alterations following five (5) business days notice to Landlord, but without Landlord's prior consent, to the extent that such Alterations do not (i) adversely affect the Building Systems, Building Structure, or the exterior appearance of the Building, or structural aspects of the Building, or (ii) adversely affect the value of the Premises or Building (the "Cosmetic Alterations"). The construction of the initial improvements to the Premises shall be governed by the terms of the Work Letter Agreement and not the terms of this Article 8.
8.2 Manner of Construction. Landlord may impose, as a condition of its consent to any and all Alterations or repairs of the Premises or about the Premises, such requirements as Landlord in its reasonable discretion may deem desirable, including, but not limited to, the requirement that Tenant utilize for such purposes only contractors reasonably approved by Landlord, and the requirement that upon Landlord's timely request (as more particularly set forth in Section 8.5, below), Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, remove such Alterations upon the expiration or any early termination of the Lease Term and return the affected portion of the Premises to a building standard tenant improved condition as determined by Landlord. Tenant shall construct such Alterations and perform such repairs in a good and workmanlike manner, in conformance with any and all applicable federal, state, county or municipal laws, rules and regulations and pursuant to a valid building permit, issued by the City of San Diego, all in conformance with Landlord's construction rules and regulations; provided, however, that prior to commencing to construct any Alteration (other than Cosmetic Alterations), Tenant shall meet with Landlord to discuss Landlord's design parameters and code compliance issues. In the event Tenant performs any Alterations in the Premises which require or give rise to governmentally required changes to the "Base Building," as that term is defined below, then Landlord shall, at Tenant's expense, make such changes to the Base Building. The "Base Building" shall include the structural portions of the Building, and the public restrooms, elevators, fire stairwells and the systems and equipment located in the internal core of the Building on the floor or floors on which the Premises are located. In performing the work of any such Alterations, Tenant shall have the work performed in such manner so as not to obstruct access to the Project or any portion thereof, by any other tenant of the Project, and so as not to obstruct the business of Landlord or other tenants in the Project. Tenant shall not use (and upon notice from Landlord shall cease using) contractors, services, workmen, labor, materials or equipment that, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, would disturb labor harmony with the workforce or trades engaged in performing other work, labor or services in or about the Building or the Common Areas. In addition to Tenant's obligations under Article 9 of this Lease, upon completion of any Alterations, Tenant agrees to cause a Notice of Completion to be recorded in the office of the Recorder of the County of San Diego in accordance with Section 3093 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any successor statute, and Tenant shall deliver to the Project construction manager a reproducible copy and an electronic copy of the "as built" drawings of the Alterations, to the extent such Alterations are of a type for which as-built plans are generally prepared, as well as all permits, approvals and other documents issued by any governmental agency in connection with the Alterations.
8.3 Payment for Improvements. If payment is made directly to contractors, Tenant shall (i) comply with Landlord's requirements for final lien releases and waivers in connection with Tenant's payment
28
for work to contractors, and (ii) sign Landlord's standard contractor's rules and regulations. If Tenant orders any work directly from Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to five percent of the cost of such work to compensate Landlord for all overhead, general conditions, fees and other costs and expenses arising from Landlord's involvement with such work. If Tenant does not order any work directly from Landlord, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord's reasonable, actual, out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred in connection with Landlord's review of such work.
8.4 Construction Insurance. In addition to the requirements of Article 10 of this Lease, in the event that Tenant makes any Alterations, prior to the commencement of such Alterations, Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence that Tenant carries "Builder's All Risk" insurance in an amount reasonably approved by Landlord covering the construction of such Alterations, and such other insurance as Landlord may reasonably require, it being understood and agreed that all of such Alterations shall be insured by Tenant pursuant to Article 10 of this Lease immediately upon completion thereof. In addition, Landlord may, if the cost of any Alteration is reasonably expected to exceed [***], in its reasonable discretion, require Tenant to obtain a lien and completion bond or some alternate form of security satisfactory to Landlord in an amount sufficient to ensure the lien-free completion of such Alterations and naming Landlord as a co-obligee. For purposes of determining the cost of an Alteration, work done in phases or stages shall be considered part of the same Alteration, and any Alteration shall be deemed to include all trades and materials involved in accomplishing a particular result.
8.5 Landlord's Property. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) all Alterations, improvements, fixtures, equipment and/or appurtenances which may be installed or placed in or about the Premises, from time to time, shall be at the sole cost of Tenant (subject to the provisions of Section 8.6, below) and shall be and become part of the Premises and the property of Landlord, and (ii) the Improvements to be constructed in the Premises pursuant to the TCCs of the Work Letter Agreement shall, upon completion of the same, be and become a part of the Premises and the property of Landlord; provided, however, Tenant may remove any Alterations, improvements (excluding the Improvements), fixtures and/or equipment which Tenant can substantiate to Landlord have not been paid for by any Improvement Allowance funds, provided that Tenant repairs any and all damage to the Premises or the Building caused in whole or in part by such removal, and returns the affected portion of the Building or the Premises to an as-improved building standard condition, as reasonably approved by Landlord. Furthermore, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant, at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the Lease Term, or given following any earlier termination of this Lease, require Tenant, at Tenant's expense, to remove any Alterations or improvements located within the Premises, to repair any damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal, and to return the affected portion of the Premises to a building standard tenant improved condition as determined by Landlord; provided, however, if, in connection with its notice to Landlord with respect to any such Alterations (including any Cosmetic Alterations), (x) Tenant requests Landlord's decision with regard to the removal of such Alterations or Cosmetic Alterations, and (y) Landlord thereafter agrees in writing to waive the removal requirement when approving (or, if applicable, following notification of) such Alterations or Cosmetic Alterations, then Tenant shall not be required to so remove such Alterations or Cosmetic Alterations; provided further, however, that if Tenant requests such a determination from Landlord and Landlord, within ten (10) business days following Landlord's receipt of such request from Tenant with respect to Alterations or Cosmetic Alterations, fails to address the removal requirement with regard to such Alterations or Cosmetic Alterations, Landlord shall be deemed to have agreed to waive the removal requirement with regard to such Alterations or Cosmetic Alterations. If Tenant fails to complete such removal and/or to repair any damage caused by the removal of any Alterations or improvements in the Premises, and return the affected portion of the Premises to a building standard tenant improved condition as determined by Landlord, then Landlord may do so and may charge the cost thereof to Tenant. Tenant hereby protects, defends, indemnifies and holds Landlord harmless from any liability, cost, obligation, expense or claim of lien in any manner relating to the installation,
[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.
29
placement, removal or financing of any such Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment in, on or about the Premises, which obligations of Tenant shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
8.6 Mid-Term Improvement Allowance. To the extent Tenant is not then in economic or material, non-economic default under this Lease (beyond any applicable notice and cure periods), then Tenant may, upon written notice to Landlord given no later than April 1, 2014 (the "Improvement Allowance Election Notice"), elect to cause Landlord to provide an allowance (in an amount to be set forth in such Improvement Allowance Election Notice) for the cost of the design and construction of certain mid-term Alterations intended to enhance the then-existing condition of the Premises (the "Mid-Term Improvement Allowance"); provided, however, that the amount of such Mid-Term Improvement Allowance shall (i) be disbursed by Landlord following July 1, 2014 upon receipt of invoices for such costs, reasonable backup documentation and conditional lien releases relating to the items covered by such invoices, (ii) be an amount equal to an even number of United States Dollars (as opposed to fractions of United States Dollars), and (iii) in no event exceed the amount set forth in Section 14 of the Summary. In the event Tenant exercises its right to use all or any portion of the Mid-Term Improvement Allowance, then Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, on or before July 1, 2014, a letter of credit, in the form attached to the Lease as Exhibit H and subject to the terms and conditions of Article 21 of the Lease, in an amount equal to [***], which letter of credit shall be held by Landlord pursuant to the terms of Article 21 of the Lease. The rights contained in this Section 8.6 shall be personal to the Original Tenant, and may only be exercised by the Original Tenant (and not any assignee, sublessee or other Transferee of the Original Tenant's interest in this Lease).
ARTICLE 9
COVENANT AGAINST LIENS
Tenant shall keep the Project and Premises free from any liens or encumbrances arising out of the work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or on behalf of Tenant, and shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, judgments or costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) arising out of same or in connection therewith. Tenant shall give Landlord notice at least twenty (20) days prior to the commencement of any such work on the Premises (or such additional time as may be necessary under applicable laws) to afford Landlord the opportunity of posting and recording appropriate notices of non-responsibility. Tenant shall remove any such lien or encumbrance by bond or otherwise within ten (10) business days after notice by Landlord, and if Tenant shall fail to do so, Landlord may pay the amount necessary to remove such lien or encumbrance, without being responsible for investigating the validity thereof. The amount so paid shall be deemed Additional Rent under this Lease payable upon demand, without limitation as to other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease. Nothing contained in this Lease shall authorize Tenant to do any act which shall subject Landlord's title to the Building or Premises to any liens or encumbrances whether claimed by operation of law or express or implied contract. Any claim to a lien or encumbrance upon the Building or Premises arising in connection with any such work or respecting the Premises not performed by or at the request of Landlord shall be null and void, or at Landlord's option shall attach only against Tenant's interest in the Premises and shall in all respects be subordinate to Landlord's title to the Project, Building and Premises.
10.1 Indemnification and Waiver. To the extent not prohibited by law and except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Tenant hereby assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to persons in, upon or about the Premises from any cause whatsoever and agrees that Landlord, its partners,
[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.
30
subpartners and their respective officers, agents, servants, employees, and independent contractors (collectively, "Landlord Parties") shall not be liable for, and are hereby released from any responsibility for, any damage either to person or property or resulting from the loss of use thereof, which damage is sustained by Tenant or by other persons claiming through Tenant. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless the Landlord Parties from any and all loss, cost, damage, expense and liability (including without limitation court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with or arising from any cause in, on or about the Premises, any acts, omissions or negligence of Tenant or of any person claiming by, through or under Tenant, or of the contractors, agents, servants, employees, invitees, guests or licensees of Tenant or any such person, in, on or about the Project or any breach of the TCCs of this Lease, either prior to, during, or after the expiration of the Lease Term, provided that the terms of the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Party. Should Landlord be named as a defendant in any suit brought against Tenant in connection with or arising out of Tenant's occupancy of the Premises, Tenant shall pay to Landlord its costs and expenses incurred in such suit, including without limitation, its actual professional fees such as appraisers', accountants' and attorneys' fees. Landlord shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless Tenant, its partners, and their respective officers, agents, servants, employees, and independent contractors (collectively, "Tenant Parties") from any and all loss, cost, damage, expense and liability (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord in, on or about the Project (excluding the Premises), except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the Tenant Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, either party's agreement to indemnify the other party pursuant to this Section 10.1 is not intended and shall not relieve any insurance carrier of its obligations under policies required to be carried by such party pursuant to the provisions of this Lease. In addition, either party's agreement to indemnify the other party as set forth in this Section 10.1 shall be ineffective to the extent the matters for which such party agreed to indemnify the other party are covered by insurance required to be carried by the non-indemnifying party pursuant to this Lease. The provisions of this Section 10.1 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease with respect to any claims or liability arising in connection with any event occurring prior to such expiration or termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, nothing in this Lease shall impose any obligations on Tenant or Landlord to be responsible or liable for, and each hereby releases the other from all liability for, consequential damages other than those consequential damages incurred by Landlord in connection with a holdover of the Premises by Tenant after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or incurred by Landlord in connection with any repair, physical construction or improvement work performed by or on behalf of Tenant in the Project, but Tenant shall not be responsible for any direct or consequential damages resulting from Landlord's or contractor's acts in connection with the completion by Landlord of the premises improvements in the Premises pursuant to the Work Letter Agreement or Landlord's ownership or removal of any Alterations that are not required to be removed by Tenant pursuant to Article 8, above.

10.5 Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant intend that their respective property loss risks shall be borne by reasonable insurance carriers to the extent above provided, and Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to look solely to, and seek recovery only from, their respective insurance carriers in the event of a property loss to the extent that such coverage is agreed to be provided hereunder.

ARTICLE 11
DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION
11.1 Repair of Damage to Premises by Landlord. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any damage to the Premises resulting from fire or any other casualty. If the Premises or any Common Areas serving or providing access to the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustment or other matters beyond Landlord's reasonable control, and subject to all other terms of this Article 11, restore the Base Building and such Common Areas. Such restoration shall be to substantially the same condition of the Base Building and the Common Areas prior to the casualty, except for modifications required by zoning and building codes and other laws or by the holder of a mortgage on the Building or Project or any other modifications to the Common Areas deemed desirable by Landlord, which are consistent with the character of the Project and which are reasonably approved by Tenant, provided that access to the Premises and any common restrooms serving the Premises shall not be materially impaired. Upon the occurrence of any damage to the Premises, upon notice (the "Landlord Repair Notice") to Tenant from Landlord, Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or to any party designated by Landlord) all insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant's insurance required under Section 10.3 of this Lease, and Landlord shall repair any injury or damage to the Improvements and any Alterations installed in the Premises and shall return such Improvements and Original Improvements to their original condition; provided that if the cost of such repair by Landlord exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord from Tenant's insurance carrier, as assigned by Tenant, the cost of such repairs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord prior to Landlord's commencement of repair of the damage. In the event that Landlord does not deliver the Landlord Repair Notice within sixty (60) days following the date the casualty becomes known to Landlord, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, repair any injury or damage to the Improvements and Alterations installed in the Premises and shall return such Improvements and Original Improvements to their original condition. Whether or not Landlord delivers a Landlord Repair Notice, prior to the commencement of construction, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, for Landlord's review and approval, all plans, specifications and working drawings relating thereto, and Landlord shall select the contractors to perform such improvement work subject to Tenant's reasonable approval. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or its visitors, or injury to Tenant's business resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof; provided however, that if such fire or other casualty shall have damaged the Premises or Common Areas necessary to Tenant's occupancy, and the Premises are not occupied by Tenant as a result thereof, then during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy, the Rent shall be abated in proportion to the ratio that the amount of rentable square feet of the Premises which is unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Lease bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises. In the event that Landlord shall not deliver the Landlord Repair Notice, Tenant's right to rent abatement pursuant to the preceding sentence shall terminate as of the date which is reasonably determined by Landlord to be the date Tenant should have completed repairs to the Premises assuming Tenant used reasonable due diligence in connection therewith.
11.2 Landlord's Option to Repair. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 11.1 of this Lease, Landlord may elect not to rebuild and/or restore the Premises, Building and/or Project, and instead terminate this Lease, by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within ninety (90) days after
34
the date of discovery of the damage, such notice to include a termination date giving Tenant ninety (90) days to vacate the Premises, but Landlord may so elect only if the Building or Project shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or cause, whether or not the Premises are affected, and one or more of the following conditions is present: (i) in Landlord's reasonable judgment, repairs cannot reasonably be completed within two hundred seventy (270) days after the date of discovery of the damage (when such repairs are made without the payment of overtime or other premiums); (ii) the holder of any mortgage on the Building or Project or ground lessor with respect to the Building or Project shall require that the insurance proceeds or any portion thereof be used to retire the mortgage debt, or shall terminate the ground lease, as the case may be; (iii) the damage is not fully covered by Landlord's insurance policies; (iv) Landlord decides to rebuild the Building or Common Areas so that they will be substantially different structurally or architecturally; or (v) the damage occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to item (i), above, then Tenant may, by delivering written notice to Landlord within ten (10) business days following Tenant's receipt of Landlord's termination notice, negate Landlord's termination right by irrevocably agreeing to pay for all overtime costs and other premiums required in order to complete the repairs within the two hundred seventy (270) days set forth above. If Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to Landlord's termination right as provided above, and the repairs cannot, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, be completed within two hundred seventy (270) days after being commenced, Tenant may elect not later than ninety (90) days after the date of Tenant's receipt of Landlord's reasonable estimate, in writing, of the time required to effectuate such repairs, to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord effective as of the date specified in the notice, which date shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date such notice is given by Tenant. Furthermore, if neither Landlord nor Tenant has terminated this Lease, and the repairs are not actually completed within such 270-day period, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease during the first five (5) business days of each calendar month following the end of such period until such time as the repairs are complete, by notice to Landlord (the "Damage Termination Notice"), effective as of a date set forth in the Damage Termination Notice (the "Damage Termination Date"), which Damage Termination Date shall not be less than ten (10) business days following the end of each such month. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant delivers a Damage Termination Notice to Landlord, then Landlord shall have the right to suspend the occurrence of the Damage Termination Date for a period ending thirty (30) days after the Damage Termination Date set forth in the Damage Termination Notice by delivering to Tenant, within five (5) business days of Landlord's receipt of the Damage Termination Notice, a certificate of Landlord's contractor responsible for the repair of the damage certifying that it is such contractor's good faith judgment that the repairs shall be substantially completed within thirty (30) days after the Damage Termination Date. If repairs shall be substantially completed prior to the expiration of such thirty-day period, then the Damage Termination Notice shall be of no force or effect, but if the repairs shall not be substantially completed within such thirty-day period, then this Lease shall terminate upon the expiration of such thirty-day period. At any time, from time to time, after the date occurring sixty (60) days after the date of the damage, Tenant may request that Landlord inform Tenant of Landlord's reasonable opinion of the date of completion of the repairs and Landlord shall respond to such request within five (5) business days. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11.2, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease under this Section 11.2 to the extent each of the following conditions is satisfied: (a) the damage to the Project by fire or other casualty was not caused by the gross negligence or intentional act of Tenant or its partners or subpartners and their respective officers, agents, servants, employees, and independent contractors; (b) Tenant is not then in monetary default or material non-monetary default under this Lease; (c) as a result of the damage, Tenant cannot reasonably conduct business from the Premises; and, (d) as a result of the damage to the Project, Tenant does not occupy or use the Premises at all. In the event this Lease is terminated in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.2, Tenant shall pay to Landlord (or to any party designated by Landlord) a portion of the insurance proceeds payable to
35
Tenant under Tenant's insurance required under items (ii) and (iii) of Section 10.3.2 of this Lease, which portion shall be equal to [***].
11.3 Waiver of Statutory Provisions. The provisions of this Lease, including this Article 11, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the Premises, the Building or the Project, and any statute or regulation of the State of California, including, without limitation, Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) of the California Civil Code, with respect to any rights or obligations concerning damage or destruction in the absence of an express agreement between the parties, and any other statute or regulation, now or hereafter in effect, shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of the Premises, the Building or the Project.
No provision of this Lease shall be deemed waived by either party hereto unless expressly waived in a writing signed thereby. The waiver by either party hereto of any breach of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of Rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such Rent. No acceptance of a lesser amount than the Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed a waiver of Landlord's right to receive the full amount due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or payment or any letter accompanying such check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the full amount due. No receipt of monies by Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease shall in any way alter the length of the Lease Term or of Tenant's right of possession hereunder, or after the giving of any notice shall reinstate, continue or extend the Lease Term or affect any notice given Tenant prior to the receipt of such monies, it being agreed that after the service of notice or the commencement of a suit, or after final judgment for possession of the Premises, Landlord may receive and collect any Rent due, and the payment of said Rent shall not waive or affect said notice, suit or judgment.
If the whole or any part of the Premises, Building or Project shall be taken by power of eminent domain or condemned by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or if any adjacent property or street shall be so taken or condemned, or reconfigured or vacated by such authority in such manner as to require the use, reconstruction or remodeling of any part of the Premises, Building or Project, or if Landlord shall grant a deed or other instrument in lieu of such taking by eminent domain or condemnation, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to the authority. If more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the rentable square feet of the Premises is taken, or if access to the Premises is substantially impaired, in each case for a period in excess of one hundred eighty (180) days, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to the authority. Tenant shall not because of such taking assert any claim against Landlord or the authority for any compensation because of such taking and Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award or payment in connection therewith, except that Tenant shall have the right to file any separate claim available to Tenant for any taking of Tenant's personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant and removable by Tenant upon expiration of the Lease Term pursuant to the terms
[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.
36
of this Lease, and for moving expenses, so long as such claims do not diminish the award available to Landlord, its ground lessor with respect to the Building or Project or its mortgagee, and such claim is payable separately to Tenant. All Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination. If any part of the Premises shall be taken, and this Lease shall not be so terminated, the Rent shall be proportionately abated. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it might otherwise have pursuant to Section 1265.130 of The California Code of Civil Procedure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 13, in the event of a temporary taking of all or any portion of the Premises for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days or less, then this Lease shall not terminate but the Base Rent and the Additional Rent shall be abated for the period of such taking in proportion to the ratio that the amount of rentable square feet of the Premises taken bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award made in connection with any such temporary taking.
ARTICLE 14
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
14.1 Transfers. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, or permit any lien to attach to, or otherwise transfer, this Lease or any interest hereunder, permit any assignment, or other transfer of this Lease or any interest hereunder by operation of law, sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or enter into any license or concession agreements or otherwise permit the occupancy or use of the Premises or any part thereof by any persons other than Tenant and its employees and contractors (all of the foregoing are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as "Transfers" and any person to whom any Transfer is made or sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes referred to as a "Transferee"). If Tenant desires Landlord's consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing, which notice (the "Transfer Notice") shall include (i) the proposed effective date of the Transfer, which shall not be less than fifteen (15) days nor more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of delivery of the Transfer Notice, (ii) a description of the portion of the Premises to be transferred (the "Subject Space"), (iii) all of the terms of the proposed Transfer and the consideration therefor, including calculation of the "Transfer Premium", as that term is defined in Section 14.3 below, in connection with such Transfer, the name and address of the proposed Transferee, and a copy of all existing executed and/or proposed documentation pertaining to the proposed Transfer, including all existing operative documents to be executed to evidence such Transfer or the agreements incidental or related to such Transfer, provided that Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to utilize Landlord's standard Transfer documents in connection with the documentation of such Transfer, (iv) current financial statements of the proposed Transferee certified by an officer, partner or owner thereof, business credit and personal references and history of the proposed Transferee and any other information reasonably required by Landlord which will enable Landlord to determine the financial responsibility, character, and reputation of the proposed Transferee, nature of such Transferee's business and proposed use of the Subject Space and (v) an executed estoppel certificate from Tenant in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E. Any Transfer made without Landlord's prior written consent shall, at Landlord's option, be null, void and of no effect, and shall, at Landlord's option, constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease. Whether or not Landlord consents to any proposed Transfer, Tenant shall pay Landlord's reasonable review and processing fees, as well as any reasonable professional fees (including, without limitation, attorneys', accountants', architects', engineers' and consultants' fees) incurred by Landlord, not to exceed [***] for a Transfer in the ordinary course of business, within thirty (30) days after written request by Landlord.
14.2 Landlord's Consent. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed Transfer of the Subject Space to the Transferee on the terms specified in the Transfer Notice. Without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent, the parties hereby agree that it shall
[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.
37
be reasonable under this Lease and under any applicable law for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer where one or more of the following apply:
14.2.1 The Transferee is of a character or reputation or engaged in a business which is not consistent with the quality of the Building or the Project;
14.2.2 The Transferee intends to use the Subject Space for purposes which are not permitted under this Lease;
14.2.3 The Transferee is either a governmental agency or instrumentality thereof, and such Transferees occupancy in the Project may cause issues (in terms of [***];
[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.
38
14.2.4 The Transferee is not a party of reasonable financial worth and/or financial stability in light of the responsibilities to be undertaken in connection with the Transfer on the date consent is requested;
14.2.5 The proposed Transfer would cause a violation of another lease for space in the Project, or would give an occupant of the Project a right to cancel its lease;
14.2.6 Either the proposed Transferee, or any person or entity which directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the proposed Transferee, (i) occupies space in the Project at the time of the request for consent (provided, however, that Tenant may assign or sublease space to an occupant of the Project to the extent Landlord cannot meet such occupant's space needs), or (ii) is negotiating with Landlord to lease space in the Project at such time, or (iii) has negotiated with Landlord during the [***]-month period immediately preceding the Transfer Notice; or
14.2.7 The Transferee does not intend to occupy at least [***] of the Premises and conduct its business therefrom for a substantial portion of the term of the Transfer.
If Landlord consents to any Transfer pursuant to the terms of this Section 14.2 (and does not exercise any recapture rights Landlord may have under Section 14.4 of this Lease), Tenant may within six (6) months after Landlord's consent, but not later than the expiration of said six-month period, enter into such Transfer of the Premises or portion thereof, upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Transfer Notice furnished by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Section 14.1 of this Lease, provided that if there are any changes in the terms and conditions from those specified in the Transfer Notice (i) such that Landlord would initially have been entitled to refuse its consent to such Transfer under this Section 14.2, or (ii) which would cause the proposed Transfer to be more favorable to the Transferee than the terms set forth in Tenant's original Transfer Notice, Tenant shall again submit the Transfer to Landlord for its approval and other action under this Article 14 (including Landlord's right of recapture, if any, under Section 14.4 of this Lease). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if Tenant or any proposed Transferee claims that Landlord has unreasonably withheld or delayed its consent under Section 14.2 or otherwise has breached or acted unreasonably under this Article 14, their sole remedies shall be a suit for contract damages (other than damages for injury to, or interference with, Tenant's business including, without limitation, loss of profits, however occurring) or a declaratory judgment and an injunction for the relief sought without any monetary damages, and Tenant hereby waives all other remedies, including, without limitation, any right at law or equity to terminate this Lease, on its own behalf and, to the extent permitted under all applicable laws, on behalf of the proposed Transferee. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord from any and all liability, losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses, causes of action and proceedings involving any third party or parties (including without limitation Tenant's proposed subtenant or assignee) who claim they were damaged by Landlord's wrongful withholding or conditioning of Landlord's consent.
14.3 Transfer Premium. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, as a condition thereto which the parties hereby agree is reasonable, Tenant shall pay to Landlord [***] percent ([***]%) of any "Transfer Premium," as that term is defined in this Section 14.3, received by Tenant from such Transferee. "Transfer Premium" shall mean all rent, additional rent or other consideration payable by such Transferee in connection with the Transfer in excess of the Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease during the term of the Transfer on a per rentable square foot basis if less than all of the Premises is transferred, after deducting the reasonable expenses incurred by Tenant for (i) any changes, alterations and improvements to the Premises in connection with the Transfer, (ii) any free base rent and other economic concessions reasonably provided to the Transferee, (iii) any brokerage commissions and reasonable legal fees and costs in connection with the Transfer, (iv) any lease takeover costs incurred by Tenant in connection with the Transfer, (v) any costs of advertising the space which is the subject of
[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.
39
the Transfer, and (vi) any review and processing fees paid to Landlord in connection with such Transfer (collectively, the "Transfer Costs"). "Transfer Premium" shall also include, but not be limited to, (vii) key money, bonus money or other cash consideration paid by Transferee to Tenant in connection with such Transfer, and (y) any payment in excess of fair market value for (1) services rendered by Tenant to Transferee, or (2) for tangible assets (as opposed to intellectual property), fixtures, inventory, equipment, or furniture transferred by Tenant to Transferee in connection with such Transfer. In the calculations of the Rent (as it relates to the Transfer Premium calculated under this Section 14.3), the Rent paid during each annual period for the Subject Space shall be computed after adjusting such rent to the actual effective rent to be paid, taking into consideration any and all Transfer Costs. For purposes of calculating any such effective rent all such concessions shall be amortized on a straight-line basis over the relevant term.
14.4 Landlord's Option as to Subject Space. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14, Landlord shall have the option, by giving written notice to Tenant within fifteen (15) days after receipt of any Transfer Notice, to recapture the Subject Space; provided, however, if Landlord exercises its right to recapture the Subject Space, then Tenant shall have the right, by giving written notice to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Landlord recapture notice, to rescind its Transfer Notice, in which event Tenant shall not proceed with the Transfer contemplated by the Transfer Notice and Landlord's recapture notice shall be null and void. Such recapture notice shall cancel and terminate this Lease with respect to the Subject Space as of the date stated in the Transfer Notice as the effective date of the proposed Transfer until the last day of the term of the Transfer as set forth in the Transfer Notice (or at Landlord's option, shall cause the Transfer to be made to Landlord or its agent, in which case the parties shall execute the Transfer documentation promptly thereafter). In the event of a recapture by Landlord, if this Lease shall be canceled with respect to less than the entire Premises, the Rent reserved herein shall be prorated on the basis of the number of rentable square feet retained by Tenant in proportion to the number of rentable square feet contained in the Premises, and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect, and upon request of either party, the parties shall execute written confirmation of the same. If Landlord declines, or fails to elect in a timely manner to recapture the Subject Space under this Section 14.4, then, provided Landlord has consented to the proposed Transfer, Tenant shall be entitled to proceed to transfer the Subject Space to the proposed Transferee, subject to provisions of this Article 14.
14.5 Effect of Transfer. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, (i) the TCCs of this Lease shall in no way be deemed to have been waived or modified, (ii) such consent shall not be deemed consent to any further Transfer by either Tenant or a Transferee, (iii) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, promptly after execution, an original executed copy of all documentation pertaining to the Transfer in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (iv) Tenant shall furnish upon Landlord's request a complete statement, certified by an independent certified public accountant, or Tenant's chief financial officer, setting forth in detail the computation of any Transfer Premium Tenant has derived and shall derive from such Transfer, and (v) no Transfer relating to this Lease or agreement entered into with respect thereto, whether with or without Landlord's consent, shall relieve Tenant or any guarantor of the Lease from any liability under this Lease, including, without limitation, in connection with the Subject Space. Landlord or its authorized representatives shall have the right at all reasonable times to audit the books, records and papers of Tenant relating to any Transfer, and shall have the right to make copies thereof. If the Transfer Premium respecting any Transfer shall be found understated, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after demand, pay the deficiency, and if understated by more than five percent (5%), Tenant shall pay Landlord's costs of such audit.
14.6 Additional Transfers. For purposes of this Lease, the term "Transfer" shall also include (i) if Tenant is a partnership, the withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, of more than fifty percent (50%) or more of the partners, or transfer of more than fifty percent (50%) or more of partnership interests, within a twelve (12)-month period, or the dissolution of the partnership
40
without immediate reconstitution thereof, and (ii) if Tenant is a closely held corporation (i.e., whose stock is not publicly held and not traded through an exchange or over the counter), (A) the dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant or (B) the sale or other transfer of an aggregate of more than fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting shares of Tenant (other than to immediate family members by reason of gift or death), within a twelve (12)-month period, or (C) the sale, mortgage, hypothecation or pledge of an aggregate of more than fifty percent (50%) or more of the value of the unencumbered assets of Tenant within a twelve (12)-month period.
14.7 Occurrence of Default. Any Transfer hereunder shall be subordinate and subject to the provisions of this Lease, and if this Lease shall be terminated during the term of any Transfer, Landlord shall have the right to: (i) treat such Transfer as cancelled and repossess the Subject Space by any lawful means, or (ii) require that such Transferee attorn to and recognize Landlord as its landlord under any such Transfer. If Tenant shall be in default under this Lease, Landlord is hereby irrevocably authorized, as Tenant's agent and attorney-in-fact, to direct any Transferee to make all payments under or in connection with the Transfer directly to Landlord (which Landlord shall apply towards Tenant's obligations under this Lease) until such default is cured. Such Transferee shall rely on any representation by Landlord that Tenant is in default hereunder, without any need for confirmation thereof by Tenant. Upon any assignment, the assignee shall assume in writing all obligations and covenants of Tenant thereafter to be performed or observed under this Lease. No collection or acceptance of rent by Landlord from any Transferee shall be deemed a waiver of any provision of this Article 14 or the approval of any Transferee or a release of Tenant from any obligation under this Lease, whether theretofore or thereafter accruing. In no event shall Landlord's enforcement of any provision of this Lease against any Transferee be deemed a waiver of Landlord's right to enforce any term of this Lease against Tenant or any other person.
14.8 Non-Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14, (i) an assignment or subletting of all or a portion of the Premises to an affiliate of Tenant (an entity which is controlled by, controls, or is under common control with, Tenant), (ii) an assignment of the Premises to an entity which acquires all or substantially all of the assets or interests (partnership, stock or other) of Tenant, (iii) an assignment of the Premises to an entity which is the resulting entity of a merger or consolidation of Tenant, or (iv) a sale of corporate shares of capital stock in Tenant in connection with an initial public offering of Tenant's stock on a nationally-recognized stock exchange, and the subsequent sale of Tenant's capital stock as long as Tenant is a publicly traded company on a nationally-recognized stock exchange, shall not be deemed a Transfer under this Article 14, provided that Tenant notifies Landlord of any such assignment or sublease and promptly supplies Landlord with any documents or information requested by Landlord regarding such assignment or sublease or such affiliate, and further provided that such assignment or sublease is not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Lease or otherwise effectuate any "release" by Tenant of such obligations. The transferee under a transfer specified in items (i), (ii) or (iii) above shall be referred to as a "Permitted Transferee." "Control," as used in this Section 14.8, shall mean the ownership, directly or indirectly, of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting securities of, or possession of the right to vote, in the ordinary direction of its affairs, of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting interest in, any person or entity.
ARTICLE 15
SURRENDER OF PREMISES; OWNERSHIP AND
REMOVAL OF TRADE FIXTURES
15.1 Surrender of Premises. No act or thing done by Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord during the Lease Term shall be deemed to constitute an acceptance by Landlord of a surrender of the Premises unless such intent is specifically acknowledged in writing by Landlord. The delivery of keys to the Premises to Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord shall not constitute
41
a surrender of the Premises or effect a termination of this Lease, whether or not the keys are thereafter retained by Landlord, and notwithstanding such delivery Tenant shall be entitled to the return of such keys at any reasonable time upon request until this Lease shall have been properly terminated. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, whether accepted by Landlord or not, or a mutual termination hereof, shall not work a merger, and at the option of Landlord shall operate as an assignment to Landlord of all subleases or subtenancies affecting the Premises or terminate any or all such sublessees or subtenancies.
15.2 Removal of Tenant Property by Tenant. Upon the expiration of the Lease Term, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, subject to the provisions of this Article 15, quit and surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in as good order and condition as when Tenant took possession and as thereafter improved by Landlord and/or Tenant, reasonable wear and tear and repairs which are specifically made the responsibility of Landlord hereunder excepted. Upon such expiration or termination, Tenant shall, without expense to Landlord, remove or cause to be removed from the Premises all debris and rubbish, and such items of furniture, equipment, business and trade fixtures, free-standing cabinet work, movable partitions and other articles of personal property owned by Tenant or installed or placed by Tenant at its expense in the Premises, and such similar articles of any other persons claiming under Tenant, as Landlord may, in its sole discretion, require to be removed, and Tenant shall repair at its own expense all damage to the Premises and Building resulting from such removal.
If Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Lease Term or earlier termination thereof, with or without the express or implied consent of Landlord, such tenancy shall be from month-to-month only, and shall not constitute a renewal hereof or an extension for any further term, and in such case Base Rent shall be payable at a monthly rate equal to the product of (i) the Base Rent applicable during the last rental period of the Lease Term under this Lease, and (ii) a percentage equal to [***] during the first two (2) months immediately following the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, and [***] thereafter. Such month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other applicable term, covenant and agreement contained herein. Nothing contained in this Article 16 shall be construed as consent by Landlord to any holding over by Tenant, and Landlord expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord as provided in this Lease upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease. The provisions of this Article 16 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein or at law. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) and liability resulting from such failure, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to surrender and any lost profits to Landlord resulting therefrom.
ARTICLE 17
ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES
Within ten (10) business days following a request in writing by Landlord, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate, which, as submitted by Landlord, shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit E, attached hereto (or such other form as may be required by any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of the Project, or any portion thereof), indicating therein any exceptions thereto that may exist at that time, and shall also contain any other factual information reasonably requested by Landlord or Landlord's mortgagee or prospective mortgagee. Any such
[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.
42
certificate may be relied upon by any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of all or any portion of the Project. At any time during the Lease Term, Landlord may require Tenant to provide Landlord with a current financial statement and financial statements of the two (2) years prior to the current financial statement year. Such statements shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and, if such is the normal practice of Tenant, shall be audited by an independent certified public accountant. Failure of Tenant to timely execute, acknowledge and deliver such estoppel certificate or other instruments shall constitute an acceptance of the Premises and an acknowledgment by Tenant that statements included in the estoppel certificate are true and correct, without exception. Landlord hereby agrees to provide to Tenant an estoppel certificate signed by Landlord, containing the same types of information, and within the same periods of time, as set forth above, with such changes as are reasonably necessary to reflect that the estoppel certificate is being granted and signed by Landlord to Tenant, rather than from Tenant to Landlord or a lender.
This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to all present and future ground or underlying leases of the Building or Project and to the lien of any mortgage, trust deed or other encumbrances now or hereafter in force against the Building or Project or any part thereof, if any, and to all renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security of such mortgages or trust deeds, unless the holders of such mortgages, trust deeds or other encumbrances, or the lessors under such ground lease or underlying leases, require in writing that this Lease be superior thereto. Landlord's delivery to Tenant of a commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement(s) (the "Nondisturbance Agreement") in favor of Tenant from any such ground lessor, mortgage holders or lien holders of Landlord who later come into existence at any time prior to the expiration of the Lease Term shall be in consideration of, and a condition precedent to, Tenant's agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Article 18. Subject to Tenant's receipt of a Nondisturbance Agreement, Tenant covenants and agrees in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any such mortgage or deed in lieu thereof (or if any ground lease is terminated), to, subject to the terms of the applicable Nondisturbance Agreement, attorn, without any deductions or set-offs whatsoever, to the lienholder or purchaser or any successors thereto upon any such foreclosure sale or deed in lieu thereof (or to the ground lessor), if so requested to do so by such purchaser or lienholder or ground lessor, and to recognize such purchaser or lienholder or ground lessor as the lessor under this Lease, provided such lienholder or purchaser or ground lessor shall agree to accept this Lease and not disturb Tenant's occupancy, so long as Tenant timely pays the rent and observes and performs the TCCs of this Lease to be observed and performed by Tenant. Landlord's interest herein may be assigned as security at any time to any lienholder. Tenant shall, within five (5) business days of request by Landlord, execute such further instruments or assurances as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary to evidence or confirm the subordination or superiority of this Lease to any such mortgages, trust deeds, ground leases or underlying leases. Tenant waives the provisions of any current or future statute, rule or law which may give or purport to give Tenant any right or election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of the Tenant hereunder in the event of any foreclosure proceeding or sale.
43
19.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default of this Lease by Tenant:
19.1.1 Any failure by Tenant to pay any Rent or any other charge required to be paid under this Lease, or any part thereof, when due unless such failure is cured within five (5) business days after notice; or
19.1.2 Except where a specific time period is otherwise set forth for Tenant's performance in this Lease, in which event the failure to perform by Tenant within such time period shall be a default by Tenant under this Section 19.1.2, any failure by Tenant to observe or perform any other provision, covenant or condition of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant where such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided that if the nature of such default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within a thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if it diligently commences such cure within such period and thereafter diligently proceeds to rectify and cure such default, but in no event exceeding a period of time in excess of ninety (90) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; or
19.1.3 To the extent permitted by law, a general assignment by Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease for the benefit of creditors, or the taking of any corporate action in furtherance of bankruptcy or dissolution whether or not there exists any proceeding under an insolvency or bankruptcy law, or the filing by or against Tenant or any guarantor of any proceeding under an insolvency or bankruptcy law, unless in the case of a proceeding filed against Tenant or any guarantor the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days, or the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant or any guarantor, unless possession is restored to Tenant or such guarantor within thirty (30) days, or any execution or other judicially authorized seizure of all or substantially all of Tenant's assets located upon the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease, unless such seizure is discharged within thirty (30) days; or
19.1.4 Abandonment, pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1951.3, of the Premises by Tenant; or
19.1.5 The failure by Tenant to observe or perform according to the provisions of Articles 5, 14, 17 or 18 of this Lease where such failure continues for more than five (5) business days after notice from Landlord; or
19.1.6 Tenant's default under the terms and conditions of the 13480 Lease (beyond any applicable notice and cure periods).
The notice periods provided herein are in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice periods provided by law.
19.2 Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of any event of default by Tenant, Landlord shall have, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity (all of which remedies shall be distinct, separate and cumulative), the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies, each and all of which shall be cumulative and nonexclusive, without any notice or demand whatsoever.
19.2.1 Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for possession or arrearages in rent, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or
44
any part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim or damages therefor; and Landlord may recover from Tenant the following:
(a) The worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which has been earned at the time of such termination; plus
(b) 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 that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus
(c) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Lease Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus
(d) 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, specifically including but not limited to, brokerage commissions and advertising expenses incurred, expenses of remodeling the Premises or any portion thereof for a new tenant, whether for the same or a different use, and any special concessions made to obtain a new tenant; and
(e) At Landlord's election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable law.
The term "rent" as used in this Section 19.2 shall be deemed to be and to mean all sums of every nature required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, whether to Landlord or to others. As used in Sections 19.2.1(a) and (b), above, the "worth at the time of award" shall be computed by allowing interest at the Interest Rate. As used in Section 19.2.1(c), above, the "worth at the time of award" shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).
19.2.2 Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after lessee's breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). Accordingly, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Tenant, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all rent as it becomes due.
19.2.3 Landlord shall at all times have the rights and remedies (which shall be cumulative with each other and cumulative and in addition to those rights and remedies available under Sections 19.2.1 and 19.2.2, above, or any law or other provision of this Lease), without prior demand or notice except as required by applicable law, to seek any declaratory, injunctive or other equitable relief, and specifically enforce this Lease, or restrain or enjoin a violation or breach of any provision hereof.
19.3 Subleases of Tenant. Whether or not Landlord elects to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Tenant, as set forth in this Article 19, Landlord shall have the right to terminate any and all subleases, licenses, concessions or other consensual arrangements for possession entered into by Tenant and affecting the Premises or may, in Landlord's sole discretion, succeed to Tenant's interest in such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements. In the event of Landlord's election to succeed to Tenant's interest in any such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements, Tenant shall, as of the date of notice by Landlord of such election, have no further right to or interest in the rent or other consideration receivable thereunder.
19.4 Form of Payment After Default. Following the occurrence of [***] defaults by Tenant in any eighteen (18) consecutive month time period, Landlord shall have the right to require
[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.
45
that any or all subsequent amounts paid by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, whether to cure the default in question or otherwise, be paid in the form of cash, money order, cashier's or certified check drawn on an institution acceptable to Landlord, or by other means approved by Landlord, notwithstanding any prior practice of accepting payments in any different form.
19.5 Efforts to Relet. No re-entry or repossession, repairs, maintenance, changes, alterations and additions, reletting, appointment of a receiver to protect Landlord's interests hereunder, or any other action or omission by Landlord shall be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease or Tenant's right to possession, or to accept a surrender of the Premises, nor shall same operate to release Tenant in whole or in part from any of Tenant's obligations hereunder, unless express written notice of such intention is sent by Landlord to Tenant. Tenant hereby irrevocably waives any right otherwise available under any law to redeem or reinstate this Lease.
19.6 Landlord Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, Landlord shall be in default in the performance of any obligation required to be performed by Landlord pursuant to this Lease if Landlord fails to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice from Tenant specifying in detail Landlord's failure to perform; provided, however, 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 in default under this Lease if it shall commence such performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues the same to completion. Upon any such default by Landlord under this Lease, Tenant may, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease to the contrary, exercise any of its rights provided at law or in equity. Any award from a court or arbitrator in favor of Tenant requiring payment by Landlord which is not paid by Landlord within the time period directed by such award, may be offset by Tenant from Rent next due and payable under this Lease; provided, however, Tenant may not, [***]; provided further, however, [***].
ARTICLE 20
COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT
Landlord covenants that Tenant, on paying the Rent, charges for services and other payments herein reserved and on keeping, observing and performing all the other TCCs, provisions and agreements herein contained on the part of Tenant to be kept, observed and performed, shall, during the Lease Term, peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises subject to the TCCs, provisions and agreements hereof without interference by any persons lawfully claiming by or through Landlord. The foregoing covenant is in lieu of any other covenant express or implied.
21.1 Delivery of Letter of Credit. Within five (5) business days following the full execution and delivery of this Lease by and between Tenant and Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, as protection for the full and faithful performance by Tenant of all of its obligations under this Lease and for all losses and damages Landlord may suffer (or which Landlord reasonably estimates that it may suffer) as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease, an irrevocable and unconditional negotiable standby letter of credit (the "Letter of Credit"), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H and containing the terms required herein, payable in either the City of San Diego or the City of Los Angeles (both, California), running in favor of Landlord and issued by a solvent, nationally recognized bank with a long term rating of BBB or higher, under the supervision of the Superintendent of Banks of the State of California, or a national banking association, in the amount set forth in Section 8 of the Summary (the "Letter of Credit Amount"). The Letter of Credit shall (i) be "callable" at sight, irrevocable and unconditional, (ii) be maintained in effect, whether through renewal or extension, for the period from the Lease Commencement Date and continuing until the date (the "LC
[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.
46
Expiration Date") that is one hundred twenty (120) days after the expiration of the Lease Term, and Tenant shall deliver a new Letter of Credit or certificate of renewal or extension to Landlord at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the Letter of Credit then held by Landlord, without any action whatsoever on the part of Landlord, (iii) be fully assignable by Landlord, its successors and assigns, (iv) permit partial draws and multiple presentations and drawings, and (v) be otherwise subject to the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits (1993-Rev), International Chamber of Commerce Publication #500, or the International Standby Practices-ISP 98, International Chamber of Commerce Publication #590. In addition to the foregoing, the form and terms of the Letter of Credit (and the bank issuing the same (the "Bank")) shall be acceptable to Landlord, in Landlord's sole discretion. Landlord, or its then managing agent, shall have the right to draw down an amount up to the face amount of the Letter of Credit if any of the following shall have occurred or be applicable: (A) such amount is due to Landlord under the terms and conditions of this Lease, or (B) Tenant has filed a voluntary petition under the U. S. Bankruptcy Code or any state bankruptcy code (collectively, "Bankruptcy Code"), or (C) an involuntary petition has been filed against Tenant under the Bankruptcy Code, or (D) the Bank has notified Landlord that the Letter of Credit will not be renewed or extended through the LC Expiration Date. The Letter of Credit will be honored by the Bank regardless of whether Tenant disputes Landlord's right to draw upon the Letter of Credit.
21.2 Transfer of Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit shall also provide that Landlord, its successors and assigns, may, at any time and without notice to Tenant and without first obtaining Tenant's consent thereto, transfer (one or more times) all or any portion of its interest in and to the Letter of Credit to another party, person or entity, regardless of whether or not such transfer is separate from or as a part of the assignment by Landlord of its rights and interests in and to this Lease. In the event of a transfer of Landlord's interest in the Building, Landlord shall transfer the Letter of Credit, in whole or in part, to the transferee and thereupon Landlord shall, without any further agreement between the parties, be released by Tenant from all liability therefor, and it is agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment of the whole or any portion of said Letter of Credit to a new landlord. In connection with any such transfer of the Letter of Credit by Landlord, Tenant shall, [***], execute and submit to the Bank such applications, documents and instruments as may be necessary to effectuate such transfer; provided that Landlord shall be responsible for paying the Bank's transfer and processing fees in connection therewith up to an amount equal to [***] (the "L-C Transfer Cap"), and Tenant shall pay be responsible for paying the Bank's transfer and processing fees in excess of the L-C Transfer Cap.
21.3 Application of Letter of Credit. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Landlord is entering into this Lease in material reliance upon the ability of Landlord to draw upon the Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of any breach or default on the part of Tenant under this Lease or the 13480 Lease. If Tenant shall breach any provision of this Lease or the 13480 Lease (or otherwise be in default hereunder or thereunder), Landlord may, but without obligation to do so, and without notice to Tenant, draw upon the Letter of Credit, in part or in whole, to cure any breach or default of Tenant and/or to compensate Landlord for any and all damages of any kind or nature sustained or which Landlord reasonably estimates that it will sustain resulting from Tenant's breach or default of this Lease or the 13480 Lease, including, but not limited to, all damages or rent due upon termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code. The use, application or retention of the Letter of Credit, or any portion thereof, by Landlord shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided by this Lease, by the 13480 Lease or by any applicable law, it being intended that Landlord shall not first be required to proceed against the Letter of Credit, and shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Landlord may otherwise be entitled. Tenant agrees not to interfere in any way with payment to Landlord of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit, either prior to or following a "draw" by Landlord of any portion of the Letter of Credit, regardless of whether any dispute exists between Tenant and Landlord as to Landlord's right to draw upon the Letter of Credit. No condition or term of this Lease or the 13480 Lease shall be deemed to render the Letter of Credit
[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.
47
conditional to justify the issuer of the Letter of Credit in failing to honor a drawing upon such Letter of Credit in a timely manner. Tenant agrees and acknowledges that (i) the Letter of Credit constitutes a separate and independent contract between Landlord and the Bank, (ii) Tenant is not a third party beneficiary of such contract, (iii) Tenant has no property interest whatsoever in the Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof, and (iv) in the event Tenant becomes a debtor under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, neither Tenant, any trustee, nor Tenant's bankruptcy estate shall have any right to restrict or limit Landlord's claim and/or rights to the Letter of Credit and/or the proceeds thereof by application of Section 502(b)(6) of the U. S. Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.
21.4 Letter of Credit not a Security Deposit. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that in no event or circumstance shall the Letter of Credit or any renewal thereof or any proceeds thereof be (i) deemed to be or treated as a "security deposit" within the meaning of California Civil Code Section 1950.7, (ii) subject to the terms of such Section 1950.7, or (iii) intended to serve as a "security deposit" within the meaning of such Section 1950.7. The parties hereto (A) recite that the Letter of Credit is not intended to serve as a security deposit and such Section 1950.7 and any and all other laws, rules and regulations applicable to security deposits in the commercial context ("Security Deposit Laws") shall have no applicability or relevancy thereto and (B) waive any and all rights, duties and obligations either party may now or, in the future, will have relating to or arising from the Security Deposit Laws.
ARTICLE 22
COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT
22.1 Communication Equipment. Subject to all governmental laws, rules and regulations, Tenant and Tenant's contractors (which shall first be reasonably approved by Landlord) shall have the non-exclusive right and access to install, repair, replace, remove, operate and maintain so-called "satellite dishes" or other similar devices, such as antennae no greater than thirty-six (36) inches in diameter and weighing no more than fifty (50) pounds each, together with all cable, wiring, conduits and related equipment (collectively, "Communication Equipment"), for the purpose of receiving and sending radio, television, computer, telephone or other communication signals, to the extent reasonably necessary to support Tenant's use of the Premises, at a location on the roof of the Building designated by Landlord and reasonably approved by Tenant. There shall be no rental charge, license fee or similar charge to Tenant for the right to install and maintain such Communication Equipment at the Building during the initial Lease Term or any extension thereof. Further, Tenant shall have the right of access, consistent with this Section 22.1, to the area where the Communication Equipment is located for the purposes of maintaining, repairing, testing and replacing the same. Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to relocate the Communication Equipment at any time to another location on the roof of the Building, which location is reasonably acceptable to Tenant. Unless Landlord elects to perform such penetrations at Tenant's sole cost and expense, Tenant shall retain Landlord's designated roofing contractor to make any necessary penetrations and associated repairs to the roof in order to preserve Landlord's roof warranty. Tenant's installation and operation of the Communication Equipment shall be governed by the following terms and conditions:
22.1.1 Tenant's right to install, replace, repair, remove, operate and maintain the Communication Equipment shall be subject to all Applicable Laws and Landlord makes no representation that such Applicable Laws permit such installation and operation;
22.1.2 All plans and specifications for the Communication Equipment shall be subject to Landlord's reasonable approval;

[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.
48
22.1.5 Tenant shall use the Communication Equipment so as not to cause any interference to other pre-existing tenants at the Project or with any other such tenant's communication equipment, and not to damage the Project or interfere with the normal operation of the Project and Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, damages, expenses and liabilities (including attorneys' fees) arising out of Tenant's failure to comply with the provisions of this Section 22.1.5, except to the extent same is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord which is not covered by the insurance carried by Tenant under this Lease (or which would not be covered by the insurance required to be carried by Tenant under this Lease);
22.1.6 For the purposes of determining Tenant's obligations with respect to its use of the roof of the Building herein provided, all of the provisions of this Lease relating to compliance with requirements as to insurance, indemnity, and compliance with laws shall apply to the installation, use and maintenance of the Communication Equipment; provided, however, Tenant shall only be provided access to the roof after prior written notice to Landlord and subject to Landlord's reasonable rules and restrictions regarding access (including, at Landlord's option, the requirement that Tenant be accompanied by a representative of Landlord during such access). Landlord shall not have any obligations with respect to the Communication Equipment. Landlord makes no representation that the Communication Equipment will be able to receive or transmit communication signals without interference or disturbance and Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant therefor;
22.1.7 Tenant shall (i) be solely responsible for any damage caused as a result of the Communication Equipment, (ii) promptly pay any tax, license or permit fees charged pursuant to any laws or regulations in connection with the installation, maintenance or use of the Communication Equipment and comply with all precautions and safeguards required by all applicable governmental authorities, and (iii) pay for all necessary repairs, replacements to or maintenance of the Communication Equipment, except to the extent such repairs, replacements to or maintenance of the Communication Equipment is necessitated as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord Parties;
22.1.8 The Communication Equipment shall remain the sole property of Tenant. Tenant shall remove the Communication Equipment and related equipment at Tenant's sole cost and expense upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease or upon the imposition of any governmental law or regulation which may require removal, and shall repair the Building upon such removal to the extent required by such work of removal. If Tenant fails to remove the Communication Equipment and repair the Building upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Landlord may do so at Tenant's expense. The provisions of this Section 24.32.8 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease;
22.1.9 The Communication Equipment shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Premises for purposes of Article 10 of this Lease;
22.1.10 Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, shall install and maintain such fencing and other protective equipment and/or visual screening on or about the Communication Equipment as Landlord may reasonably determine;
22.1.11 If any of the conditions set forth in this Section 22.1 are not complied with by Tenant, then without limiting Landlord's rights and remedies it may otherwise have under this Lease, at law and/or in equity, Tenant shall correct such noncompliance within five (5) business days after receipt of notice (or such longer period as may be reasonably required as long as Tenant commences such correction within such five (5) business day period and diligently prosecutes the same to completion). If Tenant fails to correct any such noncompliance within such five (5) day period (as may be extended), then, at Landlord's option, Tenant shall immediately discontinue its
49
use of such Communication Equipment and remove the same in accordance with the terms hereof; and
22.1.12 Tenant's rights under this Section 22.1 with respect to the Communication Equipment shall be personal to the Original Tenant or any Permitted Transferee, and may only be utilized by the Original Tenant or such Permitted Transferee (and may not be exercised or utilized by any other assignee, sublessee or other transferee of the Original Tenant's interest in this Lease or the Premises) if the Original Tenant occupies the entire Premises then leased by Original Tenant.
23.1 Interior Signage. Subject to Landlord's reasonable prior written approval, and provided all signs are in keeping with the quality, design and style of the Building and Project, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, may install identification signage anywhere in the Premises including in the elevator lobby of the Premises, provided that such signs must not be visible from the exterior of the Building.
23.2 Prohibited Signage and Other Items. Any signs, notices, logos, pictures, names or advertisements which are installed and that have not been separately approved by Landlord may be removed without notice by Landlord at the sole expense of Tenant. Except as provided in Section 23.3, Tenant may not install any signs on the exterior or roof of the Project or the Common Areas. Any signs, window coverings, or blinds (even if the same are located behind the Landlord-approved window coverings for the Building), or other items visible from the exterior of the Premises or Building, shall be subject to the prior approval of Landlord, in its sole discretion.
23.3 Tenant's Signage. Tenant shall be entitled to install the following signage in connection with Tenant's lease of the Premises (collectively, the "Tenant's Signage"):
- (i)
- All
available exterior signage to the extent allowed pursuant to Applicable Laws and the CC&R's, including without limitation any Building-top
signage identifying Tenant's name or logo located at the top of the Building, and any "eyebrow" signage located at the main entrance of the Building; and
- (ii)
- A pro-rata share of the monument signage located within the Project. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Landlord may, at Landlord's sole cost and expense, place a standard "owned and managed" sign on such Building Monument Sign [***].
23.3.1 Specifications and Permits. Tenant's Signage shall set forth Tenant's name and logo as determined by Tenant in its sole discretion; provided, however, in no event shall Tenant's Signage include an "Objectionable Name," as that term is defined in Section 23.3.2, of this Lease. The graphics, materials, color, design, lettering, lighting, size, illumination, specifications and exact location of Tenant's Signage (collectively, the "Sign Specifications") shall be subject to the prior written approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and shall be consistent and compatible with the quality and nature of the Project. For purposes of this Section 23.3.1, the reference to "name" shall mean name and/or logo. In addition, Tenant's Signage shall be subject to Tenant's receipt of all required governmental permits and approvals and shall be subject to all Applicable Laws and to any CC&Rs affecting the Project. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Tenant in obtaining all necessary governmental permits and approvals for Tenant's Signage. Tenant hereby acknowledges that,
[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.
50
notwithstanding Landlord's approval of Tenant's Signage, Landlord has made no representation or warranty to Tenant with respect to the probability of obtaining all necessary governmental approvals and permits for Tenant's Signage. In the event Tenant does not receive the necessary governmental approvals and permits for Tenant's Signage, Tenant's and Landlord's rights and obligations under the remaining TCCs of this Lease shall be unaffected.
23.3.2 Objectionable Name. To the extent Tenant desires to change the name and/or logo set forth on Tenant's Signage, such name and/or logo shall not have a name which relates to an entity which is of a character or reputation, or is associated with a political faction or orientation, which is inconsistent with the quality of the Project, or which would otherwise reasonably offend a landlord of the Comparable Buildings (an "Objectionable Name"). The parties hereby agree that the following names shall be deemed not to constitute an Objectionable Name: Bridgepoint Education; Ashford Edu.; Xxxxxxx.Xxx; Ashford Education; Ashford University; Xxxxxxx.Xxx; University of the Rockies; BPE; UOR; Bridgepoint; Centerleaf; and Centerleaf Partners.
23.3.3 Termination of Right to Tenant's Signage. Except as expressly identified in Sections 23.3(i) and (ii) , the rights contained in this Section 23.3 shall be personal to Original Tenant, its Permitted Transferees and/or any Approved Assignee, and may only be exercised and maintained by such parties (and not any other assignee, sublessee or other transferee of the Original Tenant's interest in this Lease) to the extent (x) they are not in monetary or material non-monetary default under this Lease (beyond any applicable notice and cure period) and (y) if they occupy at least fifty percent (50%) of the entire Premises.
23.3.4 Cost and Maintenance. The costs of the actual signs comprising Tenant's Signage and the installation, design, construction, and any and all other costs associated with Tenant's Signage, including, without limitation, utility charges and hook-up fees, permits, and maintenance and repairs, shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant; provided that the costs and fees associated with the initial installation, design, and construction of such Tenant's Signage may, at Tenant's option, be deemed "FF&E," as that term is set forth in Section 2.2.5 of the Work Letter Agreement. Should Tenant's Signage require repairs and/or maintenance, as determined in Landlord's reasonable judgment, Landlord shall have the right to provide Notice thereof to Tenant and Tenant (except as set forth above) shall cause such repairs and/or maintenance to be performed within ten (10) business days after receipt of such Notice from Landlord, at Tenant's sole cost and expense; provided, however, if such repairs and/or maintenance are reasonably expected to require longer than ten (10) business days to perform, Tenant shall commence such repairs and/or maintenance within such ten (10) business day period and shall diligently prosecute such repairs and maintenance to completion. Should Tenant fail to perform such repairs and/or maintenance within the periods described in the immediately preceding sentence, Landlord shall, upon the delivery of an additional five (5) business days' prior written notice, have the right to cause such work to be performed and to charge Tenant as Additional Rent for the cost of such work. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, cause Tenant's Signage to be removed and shall cause the areas in which such Tenant's Signage was located to be restored to the condition existing immediately prior to the placement of such Tenant's Signage (excepting normal wear and tear caused by the sun, rain and other elements to which such Tenant's Signage is exposed). If Tenant fails to timely remove such Tenant's Signage or to restore the areas in which such Tenant's Signage was located, as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, then Landlord may perform such work, and all costs incurred by Landlord in so performing shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of an invoice therefor. The TCCs of this Section 23.3.4 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
23.3.5 Project Signage Exclusivity. Provided Tenant is not then in default of this Lease (beyond any applicable notice and cure periods), Landlord agrees not to allow any "Direct
51
Competitor" (defined below) to have any exterior signage in the Project (as opposed to lobby or suite signage). For purposes of this Lease, a "Direct Competitor" shall mean the entities identified on Exhibit I, attached hereto.
ARTICLE 24
COMPLIANCE WITH LAW
Tenant shall not do anything or suffer anything to be done in or about the Premises or the Project which will in any way conflict with any law, statute, ordinance or other governmental rule, regulation or requirement now in force or which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated (collectively, "Applicable Laws"). At its sole cost and expense, Tenant shall promptly comply with all such Applicable Laws which relate to (i) Tenant's use of the Premises for non-general office use, (ii) the Alterations or Improvements in the Premises, or (iii) the Base Building, but, as to the Base Building, only to the extent such obligations are triggered by Tenant's Alterations, the Improvements, or use of the Premises for non-general office use. Should any standard or regulation now or hereafter be imposed on Landlord or Tenant by a state, federal or local governmental body charged with the establishment, regulation and enforcement of occupational, health or safety standards for employers, employees, landlords or tenants, then Tenant agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to comply promptly with such standards or regulations. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Tenant in any judicial action, regardless of whether Landlord is a party thereto, that Tenant has violated any of said governmental measures, shall be conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant. Landlord shall comply with all Applicable Laws relating to the Base Building and the Common Areas, provided that compliance with such Applicable Laws is not the responsibility of Tenant under this Lease, and provided further that Landlord's failure to comply therewith would prohibit Tenant from obtaining or maintaining a certificate of occupancy for the Premises, or would expose Tenant to liability to any of its employees, subtenants, invitees or customers, or any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, or would unreasonably and materially affect the safety of Tenant's employees, subtenants, invitees, or customers, or create a significant health hazard for Tenant's employees. Landlord shall be permitted to include in Operating Expenses any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord under this Article 24 to the extent consistent with the terms of Section 4.2.4, above.
52
If any installment of Rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord's designee when due, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to [***] percent ([***]%) of the overdue amount plus any reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant's failure to pay Rent and/or other charges when due hereunder; provided, however, with regard to the first [***] such failures in any [***] month period, Landlord will waive such late charge to the extent Tenant cures such failure within five (5) business days following Tenant's receipt of written notice from Landlord that the same was not received when due. The late charge shall be deemed Additional Rent and the right to require it shall be in addition to all of Landlord's other rights and remedies hereunder or at law and shall not be construed as liquidated damages or as limiting Landlord's remedies in any manner. In addition to the late charge described above, any Rent or other amounts owing hereunder which are not paid within ten (10) days after the date they are due shall bear interest from the date when due until paid at the "Interest Rate." For purposes of this Lease, the "Interest Rate" shall be an annual rate equal to the lesser of (i) the annual "Bank Prime Loan" rate cited in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release Publication H.15(519), published weekly (or such other comparable index as Landlord and Tenant shall reasonably agree upon if such rate ceases to be published), plus four (4) percentage points, and (ii) the highest rate permitted by applicable law.
ARTICLE 26
LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULT; PAYMENTS BY TENANT
26.1 Landlord's Cure. All covenants and agreements to be kept or performed by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense and without any reduction of Rent, except to the extent, if any, otherwise expressly provided herein. If Tenant shall fail to perform any obligation under this Lease, and such failure shall continue in excess of the time allowed under Section 19.1.2, above, unless a specific time period is otherwise stated in this Lease, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make any such payment or perform any such act on Tenant's part without waiving its rights based upon any default of Tenant and without releasing Tenant from any obligations hereunder.
26.2 Tenant's Reimbursement. Except as may be specifically provided to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon delivery by Landlord to Tenant of statements therefor: (i) sums equal to expenditures reasonably made and obligations incurred by Landlord in connection with the remedying by Landlord of Tenant's defaults pursuant to the provisions of Section 26.1; (ii) sums equal to all losses, costs, liabilities, damages and expenses referred to in Article 10 of this Lease; and (iii) sums equal to all expenditures made and obligations incurred by Landlord in collecting or attempting to collect the Rent or in enforcing or attempting to enforce any rights of Landlord under this Lease or pursuant to law, including, without limitation, all legal fees and other amounts so expended. Tenant's obligations under this Section 26.2 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term.
Landlord reserves the right at all reasonable times (during Building Hours with respect to items (i) and (ii) below) and upon at least twenty-four (24) hours prior notice to Tenant (except in the case of an emergency) to enter the Premises to (i) inspect them; (ii) show the Premises to prospective purchasers, or to current or prospective mortgagees, ground or underlying lessors or insurers, or during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term, to prospective tenants; (iii) post notices of nonresponsibility; or (iv) alter, improve or repair the Premises or the Building, or for structural

alterations, repairs or improvements to the Building or the Building's systems and equipment; provided, however, Tenant may elect to have a representative accompany Landlord during any such entry; provided further, however, Landlord shall not be required to delay any such entry due to the unavailability of a Tenant representative. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 27, Landlord may enter the Premises at any time to (A) perform regularly scheduled services required of Landlord, including janitorial service; (B) take possession due to any breach of this Lease in the manner provided herein; and (C) perform any covenants of Tenant which Tenant fails to perform. Landlord may make any such entries without the abatement of Rent, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, and may take such reasonable steps as required to accomplish the stated purposes; provided, however, except for (w) taking possession of the Premises due to any breach of this Lease, (x) emergencies, (y) repairs, alterations, improvements or additions required by governmental or quasi-governmental authorities or court order or decree, or (z) repairs which are the obligation of Tenant hereunder, any such entry shall be performed in a manner so as not to unreasonably interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises and shall be performed after normal business hours if reasonably practical. With respect to items (y) and (z) above, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to not materially interfere with Tenant's use of, or access to, the Premises. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 3.2, Tenant hereby waives any claims for damages or for any injuries or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant's business, lost profits, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any other loss occasioned thereby. For each of the above purposes, Landlord shall at all times have a key with which to unlock all the doors in the Premises, excluding Tenant's vaults, safes and special security areas designated in advance by Tenant. In an emergency, Landlord shall have the right to use any means that Landlord may deem proper to open the doors in and to the Premises. Any entry into the Premises by Landlord in the manner hereinbefore described shall not be deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant from any portion of the Premises. No provision of this Lease shall be construed as obligating Landlord to perform any repairs, alterations or decorations except as otherwise expressly agreed to be performed by Landlord herein.
Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that Tenant's parking rights in the Project are set forth in the 13480 Lease, and, therefore, Tenant shall not have parking rights pursuant to the terms of this Lease. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if the 13480 Lease is terminated for any reason, but this Lease remains in full force and effect, then Tenant shall have the parking rights granted to Tenant pursuant to the terms and condition of Article 28 of the 13480 Lease, provided that (i) the number of parking passes that Landlord is required to provide Tenant shall be 581, (ii) such parking passes shall be at the same ratio of covered to non-covered parking as required under Article 28 of the 13480 Lease, and (iii) Tenant shall not have the exclusive use of Parking Structure A.

All references in this Work Letter to Articles or Sections of "this Lease" shall mean the relevant portion of Articles 1 through 29 of the Office Lease to which this Work Letter is attached as Exhibit B and of which this Work Letter forms a part, and all references in this Work Letter to Sections of "this Work Letter" shall mean the relevant portion of Sections 1 through 6 of this Work Letter.
SECTION 1
LANDLORD'S INITIAL CONSTRUCTION
Landlord has constructed the "Base Building," as that term is defined in Section 8.2 of this Lease. Such construction shall be at Landlord's sole cost and expense and without application of any portion of the "Improvement Allowance," as that term is set forth in Section 2.1 of this Work Letter below, except as expressly set forth in Section 2.2.2, below.
SECTION 2
IMPROVEMENTS
2.1 Improvement Allowance. Tenant shall be entitled to a one-time improvement allowance (the "Improvement Allowance") in the amount set forth in Section 13 of the Summary, for the costs relating to the initial design and construction of the improvements made to the Premises pursuant to this Work Letter which are permanently affixed to the Premises (the "Improvements"). Subject to Section 2.3, below, in no event shall Landlord be obligated to (i) make disbursements pursuant to this Work Letter in the event that Tenant fails to timely pay any portion of the "Over-Allowance Amount," as defined in, and pursuant to the terms of, Section 4.3.1, (ii) pay a total amount which exceeds the Improvement Allowance, (iii) pay any "A&E Costs," in excess of the cap set forth in Section 2.2.1 of this Work Letter, (iv) pay any "FF&E Costs" in excess of the cap set forth in Section 2.2.5 of this Work Letter, or (v) disburse any portion of the Improvement Allowance prior to [***]. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any contrary provision of this Lease, all Improvements shall be deemed Landlord's property under the terms of this Lease. Any unused portion of the Improvement Allowance remaining as of [***], shall remain with Landlord and Tenant shall have no further right thereto.
2.2 Disbursement of the Improvement Allowance. Except as otherwise set forth in this Work Letter, the Improvement Allowance shall be disbursed by Landlord (each of which disbursements shall be made pursuant to Landlord's disbursement process, including, without limitation, Landlord's receipt of invoices for all costs and fees described herein) for costs related to the construction of the Improvements and for the following items and costs (collectively, the "Improvement Allowance Items"):
2.2.1 Payment of the fees of the "Architect" and the "Engineers," as those terms are defined in Section 3.1 of this Work Letter, which fees shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Work Letter Agreement, not exceed an aggregate amount equal to [***] per rentable square foot of the Premises, and payment of the fees incurred by, and the cost of documents and materials supplied by, Landlord and Landlord's consultants in connection with the preparation and review of the "Construction Drawings," as that term is defined in Section 3.1 of this Work Letter (collectively, the "A&E Costs");
[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.
1
2.2.2 The cost of any changes in the Base Building (as opposed to the original construction of the Base Building identified in Section 1 pursuant to the final Base Building plans previously permitted), when such changes are required by the Construction Drawings;
2.2.3 The cost of any changes to the Construction Drawings or Improvements required by all applicable building codes (the "Code");
2.2.4 The "Landlord Supervision Fee", as that term is defined in Section 4.3.2 of this Work Letter;
2.2.5 The cost of installing Tenant's voice and data cabling, signage, and other similar costs (collectively, "FF&E Costs"), not to exceed an aggregate amount equal to [***] per rentable square foot of the Premises; and
2.2.6 [***].
Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that in no event shall the Improvement Allowance Items include, and Landlord shall be solely responsible for, any and all costs to the extent (i) related to and arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, the Architect, Engineers or Contractor, or (ii) the same are recovered (or reasonably recoverable) from third parties.
2.3 Additional Allowance. Tenant may, upon written notice to Landlord given on or before the "Cost Proposal Delivery Date," as that term is set forth in Section 4.2 of this Work Letter, below, elect to cause the Improvement Allowance for the initial Premises to be increased by an amount (the "Additional Allowance") set forth in such notice. Any such resulting Additional Allowance shall (i) be an amount equal to an even number of United States Dollars (as opposed to fractions of United States Dollars), and (ii) in no event exceed the product of (A) [***], and (B) the number of rentable square feet of the Premises (i.e., an amount anticipated to equal [***] based upon 147,533 rentable square feet, which square footage is subject to confirmation pursuant to the TCCs of Section 1.2 of the Lease). In the event Tenant exercises its right to use all or any portion of the Additional Allowance, the Monthly Installment of Base Rent for the Premises shall be increased by an amount equal to the "Additional Monthly Base Rent," as that term is defined below, in order to repay the Additional Allowance to Landlord. The "Additional Monthly Base Rent" shall be determined as the missing component of an annuity, which annuity shall have (w) the amount of the Additional Allowance which Tenant elects to utilize as the present value amount, (x) [***]. If Tenant elects to utilize all or a portion of the Additional Allowance, then (i) all references in this Work Letter to the "Improvement Allowance," shall be deemed to include the Additional Allowance which Tenant elects to utilize, (ii) the parties shall promptly execute an amendment (the "Additional Allowance Amendment") to this Lease setting forth the new amount of the Base Rent and Improvement Allowance computed in accordance with this Section 2.3, and (iii) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, concurrently with Tenant's execution and delivery of the Additional Allowance Amendment to Landlord, a letter of credit, in the form attached to the Lease as Exhibit H and subject to the terms and conditions of Article 21 of the Lease, in an amount equal to [***], which letter of credit shall be held by Landlord pursuant to the terms of Article 21 of the Lease.
2.4 Building Standards. Landlord has established or may establish specifications for certain Building standard components, materials and finishes (collectively, "Building Standards") as well as certain LEED tenant design and construction guidelines (collectively, "LEED Criteria") to be used in the construction of the Improvements in the Premises, which Building Standards and LEED Criteria are set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto and made a part hereof. The quality of Improvements shall be equal to or of greater quality than the quality of such Building standards, provided that Landlord may, at Landlord's option, require the Improvements to comply with certain Building standards. Landlord may make reasonable changes to such Building Standards and LEED Criteria from time to time.
[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.

SECTION 3
CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS
3.1 Selection of Architect/Construction Drawings. Landlord shall retain (i) Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Design Associates, Inc. (the "Architect") to prepare the "Construction Drawings," as that term is defined in this Section 3.1, and (ii) engineering consultants reasonably designated by Landlord (the "Engineers") to prepare all plans and engineering working drawings relating to the structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, lifesafety, and sprinkler work of the Improvements; provided, however, to the extent the same is consistent with commercially reasonable construction procedures, Landlord may reserve the right to employ "design-build" trades at the time of contracting. The plans and drawings to be prepared by Architect and the Engineers pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 3.4 of this Work Letter shall be known collectively as the "Construction Drawings." Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may elect to have Landlord retain ID Studios as the Architect by delivering written notice of such elect to Landlord on or before February 15, 2008, in which event (A) ID Studios shall thereafter be deemed to the Architect, and (B) all fees paid or owing to Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Design Associates, Inc. prior to the date Tenant delivers such notice shall be deemed to be fees of the Architect pursuant to Section 2.2.1 of this Work Letter Agreement.
3.2 Final Space Plan. Tenant shall deliver the final space plan for Improvements in the Premises (collectively, the "Final Space Plan"), which Final Space Plan shall include a layout and designation of all offices, rooms and other partitioning, their intended use, and equipment to be contained therein, to Landlord. The Final Space Plan shall not require the installation of any "Non-Conforming Improvements," as defined below. As used herein, "Non-Conforming Improvements" shall mean items which are inconsistent with Building Standards.
3.3 Preparation of Final Working Drawings. Landlord shall cause the Architect and Engineers to prepare "Final Working Drawings," as that term is defined in this Section 3.3, below, based upon the Final Space Plan; provided, however, that the parties acknowledge that during the course of development of the Final Working Drawings, there may be changes made to the drawings and specifications set forth in the Final Space Plan (any such change, a "Change"); provided further, however, that Tenant shall have the right to approve or disapprove a Change which is a "Material Change," as more particularly set forth below. A Change which (i) is not consistent with the Final Space Plan (as reasonably and mutually determined by Landlord and Tenant), and (ii) is not required in order to comply with Applicable Laws, shall be referred to herein as a "Material Change." Tenant shall cooperate in good faith with Landlord, Architect and Engineers to supply the necessary information, if any, required to allow the Architect and Engineers to complete final working drawings for the Improvements in a form which is complete to allow subcontractors to bid on the work and for Landlord to obtain all applicable permits (the "Final Working Drawings").
3.4 Tenant's Review and Approval of Final Working Drawings. Landlord shall deliver the Final Working Drawings to Tenant for Tenant's review and Approval. Tenant shall give or withhold its approval to the Final Working Drawings promptly, but in no event more than five (5) business days after Landlord's delivery thereof to Tenant (the "Design Review Period"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Work Letter, Tenant shall not withhold its approval to the Final Working Drawings, or any portion thereof, unless the same are not consistent with, and not a logical extension of, the Final Space Plan. If Tenant timely disapproves the Final Working Drawings, Tenant shall notify Landlord of such disapproval, along with the specific and detailed reasons for the same, and Landlord shall promptly, but in no event more than five (5) business days after receipt of Tenant's disapproval, revise the applicable portions of the Final Working Drawings to correct such disapproved matter, and shall resubmit the Final Working Drawings to Tenant, and Tenant shall approve or disapprove the resubmitted Final Working Drawings promptly, but in no event more than three (3) business days after such resubmittal; provided, however, Tenant shall not withhold its approval to the resubmitted Final
3
Working Drawings unless the same are not consistent with, and not a logical extension of, the Final Space Plan, and Tenant shall not withhold its approval of any portion of the resubmitted Final Working Drawings that had been previously approved (or deemed approved) by Tenant. Such procedure shall be repeated until the Final Working Drawings are approved by Tenant (the "Approved Working Drawings"). To the extent Tenant fails to (a) respond to Landlord within the applicable time periods provided for Tenant's review, or (b) disapprove all or any specific portion or detail of the Final Working Drawings, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved the Final Working Drawings or the specific portion or detail thereof, as applicable.
3.5 Change Orders. In the event Tenant desires to materially change the Approved Working Drawings, Tenant shall deliver Notice (the "Drawing Change Request") of the same to Landlord, setting forth in detail the changes (the "Tenant Change") Tenant desires to make to the Approved Working Drawings. Landlord shall, no later than (A) five (5) business days after receipt of any Drawing Change Request relating to a proposed Tenant Change affecting the Building structure, or (B) three (3) business days after receipt of any Drawing Change Request relating to a proposed Tenant Change not affecting the Building structure, deliver a written notice to Tenant (the "Response Notice") either (i) approving the Tenant Change, or (ii) disapproving the Tenant Change and deliver a Notice to Tenant specifying in reasonably sufficient detail the reasons for Landlord's disapproval; provided, however, Landlord's Response Notice shall indicate the anticipated cost of implementing such Tenant Change and any Tenant Delay anticipated to result therefrom; provided further, however, that Landlord may only disapprove of the Tenant Change if the Tenant Change (u) would have an adverse effect on the structural integrity of the Building; (v) fails to comply with applicable Code and or other applicable governmental regulations; (x) would have an material adverse effect on the systems and equipment of the Building; (y) would have an adverse effect on the exterior appearance of the Building; or (z) would have an material adverse effect on the value of the Project. Within two (2) business days following Tenant's receipt of the applicable Response Notice, Tenant shall either ratify its Drawing Change Request or rescind the same. Any additional costs which arise in connection with such Tenant Change shall be paid by Tenant, provided that to the extent a portion of the Improvement Allowance remains unpaid and unallocated, such payment shall be made from the Improvement Allowance.
3.6 Time Deadlines. The applicable dates for approval of items, plans and drawings as described in this Section 3, Section 4, below, and in this Work Letter, shall be known herein as the "Time Deadlines." Tenant agrees to comply with the Time Deadlines.
SECTION 4
CONSTRUCTION OF THE IMPROVEMENTS
4.1 Contractor. Reno Contracting, Inc. ("Contractor") shall construct the Improvements; provided, however, Landlord hereby agrees and covenants that in its construction contract with Contractor for the construction of the Improvements pursuant to this Work Letter, Contractor's overhead, fees and other charges shall be consistent with the corresponding components of the construction contract Landlord and Contractor entered into with regard to the construction of the Base Building.
4.2 Cost Proposal. After the Approved Working Drawings are approved by Tenant, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a cost proposal in accordance with the Approved Working Drawings, which cost proposal shall include, as nearly as possible, the cost of all Improvement Allowance Items to be incurred in connection with the design and construction of the Improvements (the "Cost Proposal"); provided, however, Contractor shall be required to bid each of the major subcontractors (as reasonably determined by Landlord) with at least three (3) qualified subcontractors (except that the fire, life safety subcontractor shall be designated by Landlord), and Landlord shall, unless otherwise directed by Tenant at the time Tenant approves the Cost Proposal, select the lowest cost bid which is conforming and
4
consistent with the bid assumptions and directions and Landlord's construction schedule. Tenant shall approve and deliver the Cost Proposal to Landlord within five (5) days of the receipt of the same, and upon receipt of the same by Landlord, Landlord shall be released by Tenant to purchase the items set forth in the Cost Proposal and to commence the construction relating to such items. The date by which Tenant must approve and deliver the Cost Proposal to Landlord shall be known hereafter as the "Cost Proposal Delivery Date".
4.3 Construction of Improvements by Contractor under the Supervision of Landlord.
4.3.1 Over-Allowance Amount. On the Cost Proposal Delivery Date, Landlord shall identify the amount (the "Over-Allowance Amount") equal to the difference between (i) the amount of the Cost Proposal and (ii) the amount of the Improvement Allowance. Subject to the terms of Section 2.3 of this Work Letter Agreement, the Over-Allowance Amount shall be delivered from Tenant to Landlord (on a pro-rata basis, based upon the percentage of the Tenant Improvements completed) within fifteen (15) days of Tenant's receipt of an invoice for such portion of the Over-Allowance Amount. In the event that, after the Cost Proposal Delivery Date, any revisions, changes, or substitutions shall be made to the Construction Drawings or the Improvements as the result of (i) a ratified Tenant Change, or (ii) a change requested by Landlord and reasonably approved by Tenant, then, subject to the terms of Section 2.3 of this Work Letter Agreement, any additional costs which arise in connection with such revisions, changes or substitutions or any other additional costs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord immediately upon Landlord's request as an addition to the Over-Allowance Amount. Subject to the terms of Section 2.3 of this Work Letter Agreement, in the event that Tenant fails to deliver the Over-Allowance Amount as provided in this Section 4.3.1, then Landlord may, at its option, cease work in the Premises until such time as Landlord receives payment of the Over-Allowance Amount (and such failure to deliver shall be treated as a Tenant delay in accordance with the terms of Section 5.2 below).
4.3.2 Landlord's Retention of Contractor. Landlord shall independently retain Contractor to construct the Improvements in accordance with the Approved Working Drawings and the Cost Proposal and Landlord shall supervise the construction by Contractor, and Tenant shall pay a construction supervision and management fee (the "Landlord Supervision Fee") to Landlord in an amount equal to the product of (i) two percent (2%) and (ii) an amount equal to the sum of the those certain Improvement Allowance Items identified in Sections 2.2.2, 2.2.3 and 2.2.5 of this Work Letter (i.e., the "hard" costs of construction).
4.3.3 Contractor's Warranties and Guaranties. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Lease or this Work Letter Agreement, Landlord hereby covenants and agrees to enforce all warranties and guaranties by Contractor relating to the Improvements and shall cause Tenant to be named a third-party beneficiary under the construction agreement with the Contractor.
SECTION 5
CONSTRUCTION OF IMPROVEMENTS DURING
TENANT'S OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES
Tenant hereby acknowledges that, notwithstanding Tenant's occupancy of the Premises during the construction of the Improvements in the Premises by Landlord, Landlord shall be permitted to construct the Improvements in the Premises during normal business hours, without any obligation to pay overtime or other premiums, and Tenant shall provide a clear working area for such work, if necessary (including, but not limited to, the moving of furniture, fixtures and Tenant's property away from the area in which Landlord is constructing the Improvements) and otherwise shall fully comply and cooperate with such other reasonable requests that may be made by Landlord, Contractor, and/or any other party involved in connection with the construction of the Improvements. Provided that Landlord employs commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with the conduct of
5
Tenant's business, Tenant hereby agrees that the construction of the Improvements (i) shall in no event constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant nor entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent payable pursuant to the Lease, and (ii) shall not entitle Tenant to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the whole or any part of the Premises or of Tenant's personal property or improvements resulting from the construction of the Improvements or Landlord's actions in connection with the construction of the Improvements, or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by the construction of the Improvements or Landlord's actions in connection with the construction of the Improvements. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Work Letter Agreement of the Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall have no responsibility or for any reason be liable to Tenant for any direct or indirect injury to or interference with Tenant's business arising from the construction of the Improvements, including but not limited to, loss of profits, loss of revenues, loss of business opportunity, loss of goodwill or loss of use, in each case, however occurring.
SECTION 6
MISCELLANEOUS
6.1 Freight Elevators. Landlord shall cause one (1) passenger elevator to be "padded" and otherwise prepared and ready for freight service and shall make the same reasonably available to Tenant, in connection with initial decorating, furnishing and moving into the Premises.
6.2 Tenant's Representative. Tenant has designated Xx. Xxxxxx Xxxxxx and Xx. Xxxxx Xxxxx as its representatives with respect to the matters set forth in this Work Letter, each of whom, until further notice to Landlord, shall have full authority and responsibility to act on behalf of the Tenant as required in this Work Letter.
6.3 Landlord's Representatives. Landlord has designated Mr. Xxxx Xxxxx as the "Project Manager" who shall be responsible for the implementation of all Improvements to be performed by Landlord in the Premises. With regard to all matters involving such Improvements, Tenant shall communicate with the Project Manager rather than with the Contractor. Landlord shall not be responsible for any statement, representation or agreement made between Tenant and the Contractor or any subcontractor. It is hereby expressly acknowledged by Tenant that such Contractor is not Landlord's agent and has no authority whatsoever to enter into agreements on Landlord's behalf or otherwise bind Landlord. The Project Manager will furnish Tenant with notices of substantial completion, cost estimates for above standard Improvements, Landlord's approvals or disapprovals of all documents to be prepared by Tenant pursuant to this Work Letter and changes thereto.
6.4 Intentionally Omitted.
6.5 Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence under this Work Letter. Unless otherwise indicated, all references herein to a "number of days" shall mean and refer to calendar days. In all instances where Tenant is required to approve or deliver an item, if no written notice of approval is given or the item is not delivered within the stated time period, at Landlord's sole option, at the end of such period the item shall automatically be deemed approved or delivered by Tenant and the next succeeding time period shall commence. Furthermore, in all instances where Landlord is required to approve or deliver an item, if no written notice of approval is given or the item is not delivered within the stated time period, at Tenant's sole option, at the end of such period the item shall automatically be deemed approved or delivered by Landlord and the next succeeding time period shall commence.
6.6 Tenant's Lease Default. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in the Lease or this Work Letter, if any default (beyond any applicable notice and cure periods) by Tenant under the Lease or this Work Letter (including, without limitation, any failure by Tenant to fund any portion of the Over-Allowance Amount) occurs at any time on or before the substantial completion of the Improvements, then (i) in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to Landlord pursuant to
6
the Lease, Landlord shall have the right to withhold payment of all or any portion of the Improvement Allowance and/or Landlord may, without any liability whatsoever, cause the cessation of construction of the Improvements (in which case, Tenant shall be responsible for any delay in the substantial completion of the Improvements and any costs occasioned thereby), and (ii) all other obligations of Landlord under the terms of the Lease and this Work Letter shall be forgiven until such time as such default is cured pursuant to the terms of this Lease.
6.7 Certificate of Occupancy. To the extent required in order for Tenant to legally occupy all or any portion of the Premises following construction of the Improvements, Landlord shall obtain a certificate of occupancy, or its legal equivalent, for the Premises, or portion thereof, as the case may be, as part of the substantial completion of the Improvements.

MARKET RENT DETERMINATION FACTORS
When determining Market Rent, the following rules and instructions shall be followed.
1. RELEVANT FACTORS. The "Comparable Transactions" shall be the "Net Equivalent Lease Rates" per rentable square foot, at which tenants, are, pursuant to transactions consummated within twelve (12) months prior to the commencement of the Option Term, leasing non-sublease, non-encumbered space comparable in location and quality to the Premises and consisting of one or more entire buildings containing a total of not less than [***] rentable square feet for a term of [***]. The terms of the Comparable Transactions shall be calculated as a "Net Equivalent Lease Rate" pursuant to the terms of this Exhibit G, and shall take into consideration only the following terms and concessions: (i) the rental rate and escalations for the Comparable Transactions, (ii) the amount of parking rent per parking permit paid in the Comparable Transactions, if any, (iii) operating expense and tax protection granted in such Comparable Transactions such as a base year or expense stop (although for each such Comparable Transaction the base rent shall be adjusted to a triple net base rent using reasonable estimates of operating expenses and taxes as determined by Landlord for each such Comparable Transaction); (iv) rental abatement concessions, if any, being granted such tenants in connection with such comparable space, (v) any "Renewal Allowance," as defined herein below, to be provided by Tenant in connection with each Option as compared to the improvements or allowances provided or to be provided in the Comparable Transactions, taking into account the contributory value of the existing improvements in the Premises, such value to be based upon the age, design, quality of finishes, and layout of the existing improvements, and (vi) all other monetary concessions (including the value of any signage), if any, being granted such tenants in connection with such Comparable Transactions. [***].
2. TENANT SECURITY. The Market Rent shall additionally include a determination as to whether, and if so to what extent, Tenant must provide Landlord with financial security, such as an enhanced security deposit, a letter of credit or guaranty, for Tenant's Rent obligations during the Option Term. [***].
3. RENEWAL IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Exhibit G, once the Market Rent for each Option Term is determined as a Net Equivalent Lease Rate, if (i) in connection with such determination, it is deemed that Tenant is entitled to a improvement or comparable allowance for the improvement of the Premises (the total dollar value of such allowance, the "Renewal Allowance"), Landlord shall disburse the Renewal Allowance pursuant to a reasonable disbursement procedure (consistent with the terms of Section 2.2.1 of the Work Letter Agreement) and the terms of Article 8 of this Lease, and, as set forth in Section 5, below, of this Exhibit G, the rental rate component of the Market Rent shall be increased to be a rental rate which takes into consideration that Landlord will fund a Renewal Allowance and, accordingly, such payment with interest shall be factored into the base rent component of the Market Rent.
4. COMPARABLE BUILDINGS. For purposes of this Lease, the term "Comparable Buildings" shall mean first-class single-tenant occupancy office buildings comparable to the Building in terms of age (based upon the date of completion of construction or major renovation), quality of construction, level of services and amenities (including the type (e.g., surface, structured, subterranean) and amount of parking), ingress and egress, freeway access and visibility, which Comparable Buildings are located in comparably sized office projects and are located in the "Comparable Area," which is the [***].
[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.

5. METHODOLOGY FOR REVIEWING AND COMPARING THE COMPARABLE TRANSACTIONS. In order to analyze the Comparable Transactions based on the factors to be considered in calculating Market Rent, and given that the Comparable Transactions may vary in terms of length of term, rental rate, concessions, etc., the following steps shall be taken into consideration to "adjust" the objective data from each of the Comparable Transactions. By taking this approach, a "Net Equivalent Lease Rate" for each of the Comparable Transactions shall be determined using the following steps to adjust the Comparable Transactions, which will allow for an "apples to apples" comparison of the Comparable Transactions.
5.1. The contractual rent payments for each of the Comparable Transactions should be arrayed monthly or annually over the lease term. All Comparable Transactions should be adjusted to simulate a net rent structure, wherein the tenant is responsible for the payment of all property operating expenses in a manner consistent with this Lease. This results in the estimate of Net Equivalent Rent received by each landlord for each Comparable Transaction being expressed as a periodic net rent payment.
5.2 Any free rent or similar inducements received over time should be deducted in the time period in which they occur, resulting in the net cash flow arrayed over the lease term.
5.3 The resultant net cash flow from the lease should be then discounted (using an [***] annual discount rate) to the lease commencement date, resulting in a net present value estimate.
5.4 From the net present value, up front inducements (improvements allowances and other concessions) and leasing commissions should be deducted. These items should be deducted directly, on a "dollar for dollar" basis, without discounting since they are typically incurred at lease commencement, while rent (which is discounted) is a future receipt.
5.5 The net present value should then amortized back over the lease term as a level monthly or annual net rent payment using the same annual discount rate of [***] used in the present value analysis. This calculation will result in a hypothetical level or even payment over the option period, termed the "Net Equivalent Lease Rate" (or constant equivalent in general financial terms).
6. USE OF NET EQUIVALENT LEASE RATES FOR COMPARABLE TRANSACTIONS. The Net Equivalent Lease Rates for the Comparable Transactions shall then be used to reconcile, in a manner usual and customary for a real estate appraisal process, to a conclusion of Market Rent which shall be stated as a "Base Year" lease rate applicable to each year of the Option Term.
An example of the application of using the process set forth on this Exhibit G to arrive at the Market Rent is attached hereto as Schedule 1.

DETERMINATION OF MARKET RENT—EXAMPLE
As an example of the determination of the Market Rent, assume that there is a 100,000 rentable square foot Comparable Transaction with a five (5) year term, Base Rent of $75.00 per rentable square foot with One Dollar ($1) annual increases, a tenant improvement allowance of $25.00 per rentable square foot, three (3) months of free rent, and Base Year Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses of $12.00 per rentable square foot. Based on the foregoing, the Net Equivalent Lease Rate analysis would be as follows.
1. The contractual rent payments for each of the Comparable Transactions should be arrayed monthly over the lease term. See Column 2 in the attached spreadsheet.
2. From this figure, the initial lease year operating expenses (from gross leases) should be deducted, leaving a net lease rate over the lease term. See Column 3 in the attached spreadsheet.
3. This results in the net rent received by each landlord under the Comparable Transactions being expressly as a monthly net rent payment. See Column 4 in the attached spreadsheet.
4. Any free rent or similar inducements received over time should be deducted in the time period in which they occur, resulting in the net cash flow arrayed over the lease term. See the amounts set forth in months 1, 2 and 3 of Column 2 in the attached spreadsheet.
5. The resultant net cash flow from the lease should be then discounted (using an 8.0% annual discount rate) to the lease commencement date, resulting in a net present value estimate. The net present value of the amounts set forth in Column 4 of the attached spreadsheet is $24,798,516.60.
6. From the net present value, up-front inducements (tenant improvement allowances and other concessions) should be deducted. These items should be deducted directly, on a "dollar for dollar" basis, without discounting, since they are typically incurred at lease commencement, while rent (which is discounted) is a future receipt. The net present value amount set forth in number 5, above, less the tenant improvement allowance, is $22,298,516.60.
7. The net present value should then amortized back over the lease term as a level monthly net rent payment using the same annual discount rate of 8.0% used in the present value analysis. This calculation will result in a hypothetical level or even payment over the option period, termed the "Net Equivalent Lease Rate" (or constant equivalent in general financial terms). The net present value amount set forth in number 6, above, amortized back over the term at 8% results in a net monthly rent payment of $452,133.50
8. The net monthly rent payment set forth in number 7 above must then be converted to a rentable square foot number by dividing the amount by the rentable square footage of the space (i.e., 100,000 rentable square feet). This results in a net monthly rent payment per rentable square foot of $4.52
9. The net monthly rent payment per rentable square foot must then be multiplied by the rentable square footage of the Premises (for purposes of this example, assume the rentable square footage of the Premises is 147,533 rentable square feet), resulting in a net monthly rent payment for the Premises during the applicable Term of $666,849.16.

Tenant shall have the one (1) time right to terminate and cancel this Lease effective as of the date ("Termination Date") which is the last day of the thirty-sixth (36th) month of the initial Lease Term, which right is contingent upon Tenant paying to Landlord the Termination Consideration (as defined below) in timely manner in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 2.2.

2.3 Outside Date; Termination. In the event that Substantial Completion of the Premises has not occurred by the "Outside Date," which Outside Date shall be that date which is one hundred fifty (150) days after the date Tenant obtains the Permits (as defined in Section 3.4 of the Tenant Work Letter), as such Outside Date may be extended by the number of days of Tenant Delays (as defined in the Tenant Work Letter) and by the number of days of "Force Majeure" delays (as defined in Section 24.17 hereof) then the sole remedy of Tenant shall be the right to deliver notice to Landlord (the "Outside Date Termination Notice") electing to terminate this Lease effective upon receipt of the Outside Date Termination Notice by Landlord (the "Effective Date").

Failure of Tenant to so respond in writing within said five (5) business day period shall be deemed to constitute Tenant's agreement to extend the Outside Date to that date which is set by Landlord. If the Outside Date is so extended, Landlord's right to request Tenant to elect to either terminate this Lease or further extend the Outside Date shall remain and shall continue to remain, with each of the notice periods and response periods set forth above, until the Substantial Completion of the Premises or until this Lease is terminated. Upon termination of this Lease pursuant to this Section 2.3, the parties shall be relieved of all further obligations under this Lease except for those obligations under this Lease which expressly survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and provided that Tenant faithfully performs all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, Landlord hereby agrees to [***] Premises only).

If the Buildings (and during the period of time when any other office buildings are fully constructed and ready for occupancy and are included by Landlord within the Project) are less than [***] percent ([***]%) occupied during all or portion of any Expense Year (including the Expense Base Year), Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment to the variable components of Operating Expenses for such year (including the Expense Base Year) or applicable portion thereof employing sound accounting and management principles, to determine the amount of Operating Expenses that would have been paid had the Buildings (and during the period of time when any other office buildings are fully constructed and ready for occupancy and are included by Landlord within the Project) been [***] percent ([***]%) occupied; and the amount so determined shall be deemed to have been the amount of Operating Expenses for such year, or applicable portion thereof.

For purposes of this Lease, Tax Expenses for each Expense Year (including the Tax Expense Base Year) shall be calculated as if the tenant improvements in the Buildings (and, if and when constructed, the Adjacent Building) were fully constructed and the Real Property, the Buildings (and, if and when constructed, the Adjacent Building) and all tenant improvements in the Buildings (and, if and when constructed, the Adjacent Building) were fully assessed for real estate tax purposes.
4.2.7.1 Tax Expenses shall include, without limitation:
(i) Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.2.7.3 below, any tax on Landlord's rent, right to rent or other income from the Real Property or as against Landlord's business of leasing any of the Real Property;

(ii) Any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge in addition to, or in substitution, partially or totally, of any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge previously included within the definition of real property tax, it being acknowledged by Tenant and Landlord that Proposition 13 was adopted by the voters of the State of California in the June 1978 election ("Proposition 13") and that assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges may be imposed by governmental agencies for such services as fire protection, street, sidewalk and road maintenance, refuse removal and for other governmental services formerly provided without charge to property owners or occupants. It is the intention of Tenant and Landlord that all such new and increased assessments, taxes, fees, levies, and charges and all similar assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges be included within the definition of Tax Expenses for purposes of this Lease;
(iii) Any assessment, tax, fee, levy, or charge allocable to or measured by the area of the Premises or the rent payable hereunder, including, without limitation, any gross income tax upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operating, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises, or any portion thereof (but not any income tax on Landlord's net income);
(iv) Any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge, upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is party, creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises; and
(v) Any reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in attempting to protest, reduce or minimize Tax Expenses; provided, however, to the extent Landlord obtains tax refund, such tax refund shall be credited against Tax Expenses for the Expense Year to which such refund is applicable and if as result of such refund or credit, Tenant overpaid Tax Expenses for such Expense Year, Tenant shall be entitled to receive from Landlord return of such overpayment, but not in excess of the amount of Tax Expenses actually prepaid by Tenant prior to the application of such refund/credit.
4.2.7.2 In no event shall Tax Expenses for any Expense Year be less than the Tax Expenses for the Tax Expense Base Year.
4.2.7.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.2.7, there shall be excluded from Tax Expenses (i) all excess profits taxes, gross receipts taxes, franchise taxes, gift taxes, capital stock taxes, inheritance and succession taxes, estate taxes, federal and state net income taxes, and other taxes to the extent applicable to Landlord's net income (as opposed to rents, receipts or income attributable to operations at the Real Property); (ii) any items included as Operating Expenses; and (iii) any items paid by Tenant under Section 4.4 of this Lease.
4.2.8 "Tenant's Share" shall mean, subject to Section 1.3 above, the percentage set forth in Section 9.4 of the Summary. Tenant's Share was calculated by dividing the number of rentable square feet of the Premises by the total rentable square feet in the Building (as set forth in Section 9.4 of the Summary), and stating such amount as percentage. In the event either the rentable square feet of the Premises and/or the total rentable square feet of the Building is changed in accordance with the BOMA Standard in Section 1.3 above, then Tenant's Share shall be appropriately adjusted and, as to the Expense Year in which such adjustment occurs, Tenant's Share for such year shall be determined on the basis of the number of days during such Expense Year that each such Tenant's Share was in effect.
4.2.9 "Utilities Base Year" shall mean the year set forth in Section 9.3 of the Summary.
4.2.10 "Utilities Costs" shall mean all actual charges for utilities for the Building and the Project which Landlord shall pay during any Expense Year (including the Utilities Base Year),
13
including, but not limited to, the costs of water, sewer and electricity, and the costs of HVAC (including, unless paid by Tenant pursuant to Section 6.1.2 below, the cost of electricity to operate the HVAC air handlers) and other utilities (but excluding (i) the cost of electricity consumed in the Premises and the premises of other tenants of the Building, the Adjacent Building and any other buildings in the Project (since Tenant is separately paying for the cost of electricity pursuant to Section 6.1.2 below) and (ii) those charges for which tenants directly reimburse Landlord or otherwise pay directly to the utility company) as well as related fees, assessments and surcharges. Utilities Costs for each Expense Year (including the Utilities Base Year), shall be calculated assuming the Buildings (and during the period of time when any other office buildings are fully constructed and ready for occupancy and are included by Landlord within the Project), are at least [***] percent ([***]%) occupied. Utilities Costs shall include any costs of utilities which are allocated for the Real Property under any declaration, restrictive covenant, or other instrument pertaining to the sharing of costs by the Real Property or any portion thereof, including any covenants, conditions or restrictions now or hereafter recorded against or affecting the Real Property. For purposes of determining Utilities Costs incurred for the Utilities Base Year, Utilities Costs for the Utilities Base Year shall not include any one time special charges, costs or fees or extraordinary charges or costs incurred in the Utilities Base Year only, including those attributable to boycotts, embargoes, strikes or other shortages of services or fuel. In addition, if in any Expense Year subsequent to the Utilities Base Year, the amount of Utilities Costs decreases due to reduction in the cost of providing utilities to the Real Property for any reason, including without limitation, because of deregulation of the utility industry and/or reduction in rates achieved in contracts with utilities providers, then for purposes of the Expense Year in which such decrease in Utilities Costs occurred and all subsequent Expense Years, the Utilities Costs for the Utilities Base Year shall be decreased by an amount equal to such decrease.
4.3 Calculation and Payment of Additional Rent.
4.3.1 Calculation of Excess. If for any Expense Year ending or commencing within the Lease Term, (i) Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses allocated to the Building pursuant to Section 4.3.4 below for such Expense Year exceeds Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses allocated to the Building for the Expense Base Year and/or (ii) Tenant's Share of Tax Expenses allocated to the Building pursuant to Section 4.3.4 below for such Expense Year exceeds Tenant's Share of Tax Expenses allocated to the Building for the Tax Expense Base Year, and/or (iii) Tenant's Share of Utilities Costs allocated to the Building pursuant to Section 4.3.4 below for such Expense Year exceeds Tenant's Share of Utilities Costs allocated to the Building for the Utilities Base Year, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in the manner set forth in Section 4.3.2, below, and as Additional Rent, an amount equal to such excess (the "Excess").
4.3.2 Statement of Actual Operating Expenses Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs and Payment by Tenant. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give to Tenant on or before the first day of May following the end of each Expense Year, a statement (the "Statement") which shall state, on line item by line item basis, the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs incurred or accrued for such preceding Expense Year, and which shall indicate the amount, if any, of any Excess. Upon receipt of the Statement for each Expense Year ending during the Lease Term, if an Excess is present, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Base Rent due, the full amount of the Excess for such Expense Year, less the amounts, if any, paid during such Expense Year as "Estimated Excess," as that term is defined in Section 4.3.3 of this Lease. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Statement for any Expense Year shall not prejudice Landlord from enforcing its rights under this Article 4. Even though the Lease Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant's Share of the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs for the Expense Year in which this Lease terminates, if an Excess is present, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord an amount as calculated pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.3.1 of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Tenant shall not be responsible for Tenant's Share of any Operating Expenses, Tax
[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.
14
Expenses and Utilities Costs attributable to any Expense Year which was first billed to Tenant more than [***] months after the date (the "Cutoff Date") which is the earlier of (i) the expiration of the applicable Expense Year or (ii) the Lease Expiration Date, except that Tenant shall be responsible for Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and/or Utilities Costs levied by any governmental authority or by any public utility company at any time following the applicable Cutoff Date which are attributable to any Expense Year occurring prior to such Cutoff Date, so long as Landlord delivers to Tenant xxxx and supplemental Statement for such amounts within [***] months following Landlord's receipt of the applicable xxxx therefor. The provisions of this Section 4.3.2 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.
4.3.3 Statement of Estimated Operating Expenses Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs. In addition, Landlord shall endeavor to give Tenant yearly expense estimate statement (the "Estimate Statement") which shall set forth Landlord's reasonable estimate (the "Estimate"), on a line item by line item basis, of what the total amount of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs allocated to the Building pursuant to Section 4.3.4 below for the then-current Expense Year shall be and the estimated Excess (the "Estimated Excess") as calculated by comparing (i) Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses allocated to the Building, which shall be based upon the Estimate, to Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses allocated to the Building for the Expense Base Year, (ii) Tenant's Share of Tax Expenses allocated to the Building, which shall be based upon the Estimate, to Tenant's Share of Tax Expenses allocated to the Building for the Tax Expense Base Year, and (iii) Tenant's Share of Utilities Costs allocated to the Building, which shall be based upon the Estimate, to Tenant's Share of Utilities Costs allocated to the Building for the Utilities Base Year. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Estimate Statement for any Expense Year shall not preclude Landlord from enforcing its rights to collect any Estimated Excess under this Article 4. If pursuant to the Estimate Statement an Estimated Excess is calculated for the then-current Expense Year, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Base Rent due, fraction of the Estimated Excess for the then-current Expense Year (reduced by any amounts paid pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 4.3.3). Such fraction shall have as its numerator the number of months which have elapsed in such current Expense Year to the month of such payment both months inclusive, and shall have twelve (12) as its denominator. Until a new Estimate Statement is furnished, Tenant shall pay monthly, with the monthly Base Rent installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the total Estimated Excess set forth in the previous Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant.
4.3.4 Allocation of Operating Expenses Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs to Building. The parties acknowledge that the Building is part of multi-office building project consisting of the Buildings and the Adjacent Building (if and when constructed) and such other buildings as Landlord may elect to construct and include as part of the Real Property from time to time (collectively, the "Other Buildings"), and that certain of the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Real Property (i.e., the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs) shall be shared among the Buildings and/or such Other Buildings, while certain other costs and expenses which are solely attributable to the Building, Building II and such Other Buildings, as applicable, shall be allocated directly to the Building, Building II and the Other Buildings, respectively. Accordingly, as set forth in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 above, Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities costs are determined annually for the Real Property as whole, and a portion of the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs, which portion shall be determined by Landlord on an equitable basis, shall be allocated to the Building (as opposed to the tenants of Building II and the Other Buildings), and such portion so allocated, provided the same is allocated in an equitable and non-discriminatory manner, shall be the amount of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs payable with respect to the Building upon which Tenant's Share of the Excess, if any, shall be calculated. Such portion of the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and
[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.
15
Utilities Costs allocated to the Building shall include all Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs which are attributable solely to the Building, and an equitable portion of the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs, attributable to the Real Property as whole. As an example of such allocation with respect to Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs it is anticipated that Landlord may receive separate tax bills which separately assess the improvements component of Tax Expenses for each building in the Project and/or Landlord may receive separate utilities bills from the utilities companies identifying the Utilities Costs for certain of the utilities costs directly incurred by each such building (as measured by separate meters installed for each such building), and such separately assessed Tax Expenses and separately metered Utilities Costs shall be calculated for and allocated separately to each such applicable building. In addition, in the event Landlord elects, at its sole option, to subdivide certain common area portions of the Real Property such as landscaping, public and private streets, driveways, walkways, courtyards, plazas, transportation facilitation areas, accessways and/or parking areas into separate parcel or parcels of land (and/or separately convey all or any of such parcels to common area association to own, operate and/or maintain same), the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs for such common area parcels of land may be aggregated and then reasonably allocated by Landlord to the Building, Building II and such Other Buildings on an equitable basis as Landlord (and/or any applicable covenants conditions and restrictions for any such common area association) shall provide from time to time.
4.3.5 Cap on Controllable Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 4, the aggregate "Controllable Expenses" (as hereinafter defined) included in Operating Expenses in any Expense Year after the Expense Base Year shall not increase by more than [***] on an annual, cumulative and compounded basis, over the actual aggregate Controllable Expenses included in Operating Expenses for any preceding Expense Year (including the Expense Base Year), but with no such limit on the amount of Controllable Expenses which may be included in the Operating Expenses incurred during the Expense Base Year. For purposes of this Section 4.3.5, "Controllable Expenses" shall mean all Operating Expenses except: (i) insurance carried by Landlord with respect to the Real Property and/or the operation thereof; and (ii) costs of capital expenditures, including, without limitation, costs of capital improvements, capital alterations, capital repairs, capital equipment and capital tools. The provisions of this Section 4.3.5 do not apply to Tax Expenses or Utilities Costs.
4.3.6 Payment in Installments. All assessments and premiums which are not specifically charged to Tenant because of what Tenant has done, which can be paid by Landlord in installments without the imposition of fees, penalties or interest, shall be paid by Landlord in the maximum number of installments that are permitted by law without the imposition of fees, penalties or interest and not included as Operating Expenses except in the Expense Year in which the assessment or premium installment is actually paid; provided, however, that if the prevailing practice in comparable first-class office buildings in the Central San Diego County area is to pay such assessments or premiums on an earlier basis, and Landlord pays on such earlier basis, such assessments or premiums shall be included in Operating Expenses in the Calendar Year that such assessments or premiums are paid by Landlord.
4.4 Taxes and Other Charges for Which Tenant Is Directly Responsible. Any and all Tenant's shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for any and all taxes or assessments required to be paid by Landlord (except to the extent included in Tax Expenses by Landlord), excluding state, local and federal personal or corporate income taxes measured by the net income of Landlord from all sources and estate and inheritance taxes, whether or not now customary or within the contemplation of the parties hereto, when:
4.4.1 said taxes are measured by or reasonably attributable to the cost or value of each tenant's equipment, furniture, fixtures and other personal property located in the Premises, or by the cost or value of any leasehold improvements made in or to the Premises by or for each tenant, to the extent the cost or value of such leasehold improvements exceeds the cost or value of building standard build-out as determined by Landlord regardless of whether title to such improvements shall be vested in each tenant or Landlord;
[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.
16
4.4.2 said taxes are assessed upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by each tenant of the Premises or any portion of the Real Property (including the Parking Facilities); or
4.4.3 said taxes are assessed upon this transaction or any document to which each tenant is party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises.
4.5 Late Charges. If any installment of Rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord's designee by the due date therefor then Tenant shall pay to Landlord late charge equal to [***] percent ([***]%) of the amount due plus any attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant's failure to pay Rent and/or other charges when due hereunder. The late charge shall be deemed Additional Rent and the right to require it shall be in addition to all of Landlord's other rights and remedies hereunder, at law and/or in equity and shall not be construed as liquidated damages or as limiting Landlord's remedies in any manner. Notwithstanding the above, no late charge will be assessed for the [***] late payment of Rent or any other sum due from Tenant in any [***] during the Lease Term (including the Option Term(s), if applicable).

If Tenant makes any Alterations, Tenant agrees to carry "Builder's All Risk" insurance in an amount approved by Landlord covering the construction of such Alterations, and such other insurance as Landlord may require, it being understood and agreed that all of such Alterations shall be insured by Tenant's insurance pursuant to Article 10 of this Lease immediately upon completion thereof. In addition, Landlord may, in its discretion, require Tenant to obtain lien and completion bond or some alternate form of security satisfactory to Landlord in an amount sufficient to ensure the lien-free completion of such Alterations and naming Landlord as co-obligee; provided, however, that Landlord shall waive its right to require any such bond or alternate form of security for Alterations performed by or on behalf of the Original Tenant or any assignee that is an Affiliate of Original Tenant's entire interest in this Lease pursuant to Section 14.7 of this Lease. Upon completion of any Alterations, Tenant shall (i) cause a Notice of Completion to be recorded in the office of the Recorder of the county in which the Real Property is located in accordance with Section 3093 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any successor statute, (ii) deliver to the management office of the Real Property a reproducible copy of the "as built" drawings of the Alterations, and (iii) deliver to Landlord evidence of payment, contractors' affidavits and full and final waivers of all liens for labor, services or materials.
8.3 Landlord's Property. All Alterations, improvements and/or fixtures (excluding Tenant's trade fixtures, movable furniture and personal property) which may be installed or placed in or about the Premises, and all signs installed in, on or about the Premises, from time to time, shall be at the sole cost of Tenant and shall be and become the property of Landlord and will remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises at the end of the Lease Term; provided, however, Landlord may, by written notice delivered to Tenant concurrently with Landlord's approval of the final working drawings for any Alterations, identify those Alterations which Landlord will require Tenant to remove at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Landlord may also require Tenant, upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, to remove any Alterations which Landlord did not have the opportunity to approve as provided in Section 8.1 above. In no event will Tenant be required to remove the initial Tenant Improvements installed pursuant to Exhibit B. If Landlord requires Tenant to remove any such Alterations, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall remove the identified Alterations on or before the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease and repair any damage to the Premises caused by such removal. If Tenant fails to complete such removal and/or to repair any damage caused by the removal of any such Alterations, Landlord may do so and may charge the reasonable cost thereof to Tenant.
ARTICLE 9
COVENANT AGAINST LIENS
Tenant has no authority or power to cause or permit any lien or encumbrance of any kind whatsoever, whether created by act of Tenant, operation of law or otherwise, to attach to or be placed upon the Real Property, Building or Premises, and any and all liens and encumbrances created by Tenant shall attach to Tenant's interest only. Landlord shall have the right at all times to post and keep posted on the Premises any notice which it deems necessary for protection from such liens. Tenant covenants and agrees not to suffer or permit any lien of mechanics or materialmen or others to be placed against the Real Property, the Building or the Premises with respect to work or services claimed
26
to have been performed for or materials claimed to have been furnished to Tenant or the Premises, and, in case of any such lien attaching or notice of any lien, Tenant covenants and agrees to cause it to be immediately released and removed of record, by payment, statutory bond or other lawful means. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, if any such lien is not released and removed from title on or before the date which is thirty (30) days after notice of such lien is delivered by Landlord to Tenant, Landlord, at its sole option, may immediately take all action necessary to release and remove such lien, without any duty to investigate the validity thereof and all sums, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, incurred by Landlord in connection with such lien shall be deemed Additional Rent under this Lease and shall immediately be due and payable by Tenant.
ARTICLE 10
INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE
10.1 Indemnification and Waiver. Tenant hereby assumes all risk of damage to property and injury to persons, in, on, or about the Premises from any cause whatsoever and agrees that Landlord, and its partners and subpartners, and their respective officers, agents, property managers, servants, employees, and independent contractors (collectively, "Landlord Parties") shall not be liable for, and are hereby released from any responsibility for, any damage to property or injury to persons or resulting from the loss of use thereof, which damage or injury is sustained by Tenant or by other persons claiming through Tenant. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless the Landlord Parties from any and all loss, cost, damage, expense and liability, including without limitation court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees (collectively "Claims") incurred in connection with or arising from any cause in, on or about the Premises (including, without limitation, Tenant's installation, placement and removal of Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment in, on or about the Premises), and any acts, omissions or negligence of Tenant or of any person claiming by, through or under Tenant, or of the contractors, agents, servants, employees, licensees or invitees of Tenant or any such person, in, on or about the Premises, the Building and Real Property; provided, however, that Tenant's indemnity shall, in no event, extend to loss of profits, loss of business or other consequential damages incurred by Landlord or any Landlord Parties. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.1 to the contrary, the foregoing assumption of risk, release and indemnity shall not apply to any Claims to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or the Landlord Parties, and not insured (or required to be insured) by Tenant under this Lease (collectively, the "Excluded Claims"), and Landlord shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless Tenant and Tenant's officers, agents and employees (collectively, "Tenant Parties") from and against any such Excluded Claims, but only to the extent Landlord's liability is not waived and released by Tenant pursuant to the terms of Section 10.4 of this Lease (provided, however, that Landlord's indemnity shall, in no event, extend to loss of profits, loss of business or other consequential damages incurred by Tenant or any Tenant Parties). Each party's agreement to indemnify the other pursuant to this Section 10.1 is not intended and shall not relieve any insurance carrier of its obligations under policies required to be carried by the indemnifying party pursuant to the provisions of this Lease. The provisions of this Section 10.1 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.
10.2 Landlord's Insurance and Tenant's Compliance with Landlord's Fire and Casualty Insurance. Landlord shall, from and after the date hereof until the expiration of the Lease Term, maintain in effect the following insurance: (i) physical damage insurance (including rental loss endorsement) providing coverage in the event of fire, vandalism, malicious mischief and all other risks normally covered under "special form" policies in the geographical area of the Building, covering the Building (excluding, at Landlord's option, the property required to be insured by Tenant pursuant to Section 10.3 below) in an amount not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement value (less reasonable deductibles) of the Building, together with such other risks as Landlord may

from time to time determine (provided, however, that Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to obtain earthquake and/or flood insurance); (ii) commercial general liability insurance including Commercial Broad Form Endorsement or the equivalent in the amount of at least Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00), against claims of bodily injury, personal injury or property damage arising out of Landlord's operations, assumed liabilities (including the liabilities assumed by Landlord under this Lease), contractual liabilities, or use of the Building, common areas and Parking Facilities; and (iii) workers compensation insurance as required by law. Such coverages may be carried under blanket and/or umbrella policies.

Such coverages may be carried under blanket and/or umbrella insurance policies. Such insurance shall be primary insurance as to all claims hereunder. Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, comply as to the Premises with all insurance company requirements pertaining to the use of the Premises. If Tenant's conduct or use of the Premises causes any increase in the premium for such insurance policies, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any such increase. Tenant, at Tenant's expense, shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations or requirements of the American Insurance Association (formerly the National Board of Fire Underwriters) and with any similar body.
10.3 Tenant's Insurance. Tenant shall maintain the following coverages in the following amounts.

Such insurance shall be written on a "physical loss or damage" basis under "special form" policy for the full replacement cost value new without deduction for depreciation of the covered items and in amounts that meet any co-insurance clauses of the policies of insurance and shall include a vandalism and malicious mischief endorsement, sprinkler leakage coverage and earthquake sprinkler leakage coverage.

28
Tenant against liability for claims arising out of ownership, maintenance or use of any owned, hired or non-owned automobiles.
10.3.6 The minimum limits of policies of insurance required of Tenant under this Lease shall in no event limit the liability of Tenant under this Lease. Such insurance shall: (i) name Landlord, Landlord's property manager, Landlord's asset manager and Landlord's lender with a deed of trust encumbering the Real Property and any other party affiliated with Landlord or Landlord's partners that landlord so specifies in writing to Tenant, as an additional insured with respect to Tenant's insurance described in Sections 10.3.1 and 10.3.2 above (but Tenant shall not be required to name Landlord or such other parties as loss payees with respect to Tenant's personal property damage insurance described in Section 10.3.2(i) above; (ii) specifically cover the liability assumed by Tenant under this Lease, including, but not limited to, Tenant's obligations under Section 10.1 of this Lease; (iii) be issued by an insurance company having a rating of not less than AVIII in Best's Insurance Guide or which is otherwise acceptable to Landlord and licensed to do business in the state in which the Real Property is located; (iv) be primary insurance as to all claims thereunder and provide that any insurance carried by Landlord is excess and is non-contributing with any insurance requirement of Tenant; (v) provide that said insurance shall not be canceled or coverage changed unless thirty (30) days' prior written notice shall have been given to Landlord and any mortgagee or ground or underlying lessor of Landlord; (vi) contain a cross-liability endorsement or severability of interest clause reasonably acceptable to Landlord; and (vii) with respect to the insurance required in Sections 10.3.1, 10.3.2, 10.3.4 and 10.3.5 above, have deductible amounts not exceeding Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00). Tenant shall deliver certificates evidencing such insurance policies to Landlord on or before the Lease Commencement Date and at least thirty (30) days before the expiration dates thereof. If Tenant shall fail to procure such insurance, or to deliver such certificates, within such time periods, Landlord may, at its option, in addition to all of its other rights and remedies under this Lease, and without regard to any notice and cure periods set forth in Section 19.1, procure such policies for the account of Tenant, and the cost thereof shall be paid to Landlord as Additional Rent within ten (10) days after delivery of bills therefor. Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, Tenant shall be permitted to fulfill its obligations to maintain the insurance required hereunder by obtaining a blanket policy, or policies, covering the various liabilities of Tenant as long as the coverage required to be maintained for the Premises (including annual aggregate liability coverage) is not diminished or reduced as a result thereof, and provided such policy contains an endorsement that: (A) identifies with specificity the particular address of the Premises as being covered under the blanket policy; and (B) expressly waives any pro rata distribution requirement in Tenant's blanket policy covering the Premises.
10.4 Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant agree to have their respective insurance companies issuing property damage insurance waive any rights of subrogation that such companies may have against Landlord or Tenant as the case may be, so long as the insurance carried by Landlord and Tenant, respectively, is not invalidated thereby. As long as such waivers of subrogation are contained in their respective insurance policies, Landlord and Tenant hereby waive any right that either may have against the other on account of any loss or damage to their respective property to the extent such loss or damage is insurable under policies of insurance for fire and all risk coverage, theft, public liability, or other similar insurance.
10.5 Additional Insurance Obligations. Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, during the Option Term(s) (if applicable), Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to carry and maintain, during the applicable Option Term and at Tenant's sole cost and expense, increased amounts of the insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Article 10, and such other reasonable types of insurance coverage and in such reasonable amounts covering the Premises and Tenant's operations therein, all as may be reasonably requested by Landlord during the applicable Option Term but only if such increased amounts and/or other types of insurance coverage are commonly carried by tenants comparable to Tenant in first-class office buildings in the Central San Diego County area.

ARTICLE 11
DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION
11.1 Repair of Damage to Premises by Landlord. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any damage to the Premises resulting from fire or any other casualty. If the Premises or any common areas of the Building or Real Property serving or providing access to the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustment or other matters beyond Landlord's reasonable control, and subject to all other terms of this Article 11, restore the base, shell, and core of the Premises and such common areas. Such restoration shall be to substantially the same condition of the base, shell, and core of the Premises and common areas prior to the casualty, except for modifications required by zoning and building codes and other laws or by the holder of a mortgage on the Real Property, or the lessor of a ground or underlying lease with respect to the Real Property and/or the Building, or any other modifications to the common areas deemed desirable by Landlord, provided access to the Premises and any common restrooms serving the Premises shall not be materially impaired. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, upon the occurrence of any damage to the Premises, Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or to any party designated by Landlord) all insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant's insurance required under Section 10.3.2(ii) and Section 10.3.2(iii) of this Lease, and Landlord shall repair any injury or damage to the tenant improvements and alterations installed in the Premises and shall return such tenant improvements and alterations to their original condition; provided that if the cost of such repair by Landlord exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord from Tenant's insurance carrier, as assigned by Tenant, the cost of such repairs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord prior to Landlord's repair of the damage. In connection with such repairs and replacements, Tenant shall, prior to the commencement of construction, submit to Landlord, for Landlord's review and approval, all plans, specifications and working drawings relating thereto, and Landlord shall select the contractors to perform such improvement work. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or its visitors, or injury to Tenant's business resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof; provided, however, that if such fire or other casualty shall have damaged the Premises or common areas necessary to Tenant's occupancy, and if such damage is not the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant's employees, contractors, licensees, or invitees, Landlord shall allow Tenant a proportionate abatement of Base Rent and Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs, during the time and to the extent Tenant is so prevented from using and does not use the Premises as result thereof.
11.2 Termination Rights. Within sixty (60) days after Landlord becomes aware of such damage, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing ("Landlord's Damage Notice") of the estimated time, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, required to substantially complete the repairs of such damage (the "Estimated Repair Period"). Notwithstanding the terms of Section 11.1 above, Landlord may elect not to rebuild and/or restore the Premises and/or Building and instead terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within sixty (60) days after the date of damage, such notice to include a termination date giving Tenant ninety (90) days to vacate the Premises, but Landlord may so elect only if the Building shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or cause, whether or not the Premises are affected, and one or more of the following conditions is present: (i) repairs cannot, in Landlord's opinion, as set forth in Landlord's Damage Notice, reasonably be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date of damage (when such repairs are made without the payment of overtime or other premiums); or (ii) the damage is not fully covered, except for deductible amounts, by Landlord's insurance policies; provided, however, that if (A) if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to Landlord's termination right as provided above, (B) the damage constitutes a Tenant Damage Event (as defined below), and (C) the repair of such damage cannot, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, as set forth in Landlord's Damage Notice, be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of the damage, then Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by
30
delivering written notice thereof to Landlord within ten (10) days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's Damage Notice, which termination shall be effective as of the date of such termination notice thereof to Landlord. As used herein, a "Tenant Damage Event" shall mean damage to all or any part of the Premises or any common areas of the Building providing access to the Premises by fire or other casualty, which damage is not the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any of Tenant's employees, agents, contractors or licensees, and which damage substantially interferes with Tenant's use of or access to the Premises and would entitle Tenant to an abatement of Rent pursuant to Section 11.1 above. In addition, in the event of a Tenant Damage Event, and if neither Landlord nor Tenant has elected to terminate this Lease as provided hereinabove, but Landlord fails to substantially complete the repair and restoration of such Tenant Damage Event within the Estimated Repair Period plus sixty (60) days, plus the number of days of delay, if any, attributable to events of "Force Majeure," as that term is defined in Section 24.17 hereof, plus the number of days of delay, if any, as are attributable to the acts or omissions of Tenant, then Tenant shall have an additional right to terminate this Lease by delivering written termination notice to Landlord within ten (10) days after the expiration of such period, which termination shall be effective as of the date of such termination notice. Further, in the event that the Premises or the Building is destroyed or damaged to any substantial extent during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term, then notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 11, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease and to the extent such destruction or damage constitutes a Tenant Damage Event and the repair of same is reasonably expected by Landlord to require more than sixty (60) days to complete, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease, by giving written termination notice to the other party of the exercise of such option within thirty (30) days after the date of such damage or destruction. If either Landlord or Tenant exercises any of its options to terminate this Lease as provided hereinabove, (1) this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of such termination notice, (2) Tenant shall pay the Base Rent and Additional Rent, properly apportioned up to such date of termination, and (3) both parties hereto shall thereafter be freed and discharged of all further obligations hereunder, except as provided for in provisions of this Lease which by their terms survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
11.3 Waiver of Statutory Provisions. The provisions of this Lease, including this Article 11, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the Premises, the Building or any other portion of the Real Property, and any statute or regulation of the state in which the Real Property is located, including without limitation, Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) of the California Civil Code, with respect to any rights or obligations concerning damage or destruction in the absence of an express agreement between the parties, and any other statute or regulation, now or hereafter in effect, shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of the Premises, the Building or any other portion of the Real Property.
12.1 Permanent Taking. If the whole or any part of the Premises, Building or Real Property shall be taken by power of eminent domain or condemned by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or if any adjacent property or street shall be so taken or condemned, or reconfigured or vacated by such authority in such manner as to require the use, reconstruction or remodeling of any part of the Premises, Building or Real Property, or if Landlord shall grant deed or other instrument in lieu of such taking by eminent domain or condemnation, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon ninety (90) days' notice, provided such notice is given no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such taking, condemnation, reconfiguration, vacation, deed or other instrument. If more than ten percent (10%) of the rentable square feet of the Premises is taken, or if access to the Premises is substantially impaired, Tenant shall have the option to
31
terminate this Lease upon ninety (90) days' notice, provided such notice is given no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such taking. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award or payment in connection therewith, except that Tenant shall have the right to file any separate claim available to Tenant for (i) any taking of Tenant's personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant and removable by Tenant upon expiration of the Lease Term pursuant to the terms of this Lease, (ii) for moving expenses and (iii) interruption to or damage to Tenant's business, so long as such claim does not diminish the award available to Landlord, its ground lessor with respect to the Real Property or its mortgagee, and such claim is payable separately to Tenant. All Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination, or the date of such taking, whichever shall first occur. If any part of the Premises shall be taken, and this Lease shall not be so terminated, the Base Rent and Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs shall be proportionately abated. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it might otherwise have pursuant to Section 1265.130 of The California Code of Civil Procedure.
12.2 Temporary Taking. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 12, in the event of temporary taking of all or any portion of the Premises for period of ninety 90 days or less, then this Lease shall not terminate but the Base Rent and Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs shall be abated for the period of such taking in proportion to the ratio that the amount of rentable square feet of the Premises taken bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award made in connection with any such temporary taking.
ARTICLE 13
COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT
Landlord covenants that Tenant shall, during the Lease Term peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises subject to the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements hereof without interference by any persons lawfully claiming by or through Landlord. The foregoing covenant is in lieu of any other covenant express or implied.
ARTICLE 14
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
14.1 Transfers. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, or permit any lien to attach to, or otherwise transfer, this Lease or any interest hereunder, permit any assignment or other such foregoing transfer of this Lease or any interest hereunder by operation of law, sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use of the Premises by any persons other than Tenant and its employees and invitees (all of the foregoing are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as "Transfers" and any person to whom any Transfer is made or sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes referred to as "Transferee." If Tenant shall desire Landlord's consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing, which notice (the "Transfer Notice") shall include (i) the proposed effective date of .the Transfer, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of delivery of the Transfer Notice, (ii) description of the portion of the Premises to be transferred (the "Subject Space"), (iii) all of the terms of the proposed Transfer, the name and address of the proposed Transferee, and a copy of all existing and/or proposed documentation pertaining to the proposed Transfer, including all existing operative documents to be executed to evidence such Transfer or the agreements incidental or related to such Transfer, (iv) current financial statements of the proposed Transferee certified by an officer, partner or owner thereof, and (v) such other information as Landlord may reasonably require. Any Transfer made without Landlord's prior written consent shall, at Landlord's option, be null, void and of no effect, and shall at Landlord's option constitute default by Tenant under this Lease. Whether or not
32
Landlord shall grant consent, within thirty (30) days after written request by Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord [***] for review and processing fees, and Tenant shall also reimburse Landlord for any actual, documented and reasonable legal fees incurred by Landlord in connection with Tenant's proposed Transfer.
14.2 Landlord's Consent. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to any proposed Transfer of the Subject Space to the Transferee on the terms specified in the Transfer Notice, and shall notify Tenant of Landlord's consent or disapproval within ten (10) business days after Landlord's receipt of the Transfer Notice and the other information described in Section 14.1 above. The parties hereby agree that it shall be reasonable under this Lease and under any applicable law for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer where one or more of the following apply, without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent:
14.2.1 The Transferee is engaged in business which is not consistent with the quality of the Building or Real Property;
14.2.2 The Transferee intends to use the Subject Space for purposes which are not permitted under this Lease;
14.2.3 The Transferee is either governmental agency or instrumentality thereof (i) which is that of foreign country, or (ii) which is of character or reputation, is engaged in business, or is of, or is associated with, [***], or (iii) [***], unless, and only to the extent, Landlord has previously approved such an occupant for other space in the Building;
14.2.4 The Transfer will result in more than safe number of occupants per floor within the Subject Space;
14.2.5 The Transferee is not party of reasonable financial worth and/or financial stability in light of the responsibilities involved under the Lease on the date consent is requested;
14.2.6 The proposed Transfer would cause Landlord to be in violation of another lease or agreement to which Landlord is party, or would give an occupant of the Real Property a right to cancel its lease;
14.2.7 Either the proposed Transferee, or any person or entity which directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the proposed Transferee, (i) occupies space in the Project at the time of the request for consent and Landlord has space in the Buildings or Adjacent Building available for lease to such party of comparable size as the proposed Subject Space, or (ii) is negotiating with Landlord to lease space in the Project at such time and Landlord has space in the Buildings or Adjacent Building available for lease to such party of comparable size as the proposed Subject Space.
If Landlord consents to any Transfer pursuant to the terms of this Section 14.2 (and does not exercise any recapture rights Landlord may have under Section 14.4 of this Lease), Tenant may within one (1) month after Landlord's consent but not later than the expiration of said one-month period, enter into such Transfer of the Premises or portion thereof, upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Transfer Notice furnished by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Section 14.1 of this Lease, provided that if there are any changes in the terms and conditions from those specified in the Transfer Notice (i) such that Landlord would initially have been entitled to refuse its consent to such Transfer under this Section 14.2, or (ii) which would cause the proposed Transfer to be more favorable to the Transferee than the terms set forth in Tenant's original Transfer Notice,
[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.
33
Tenant shall again submit the Transfer to Landlord for its approval and other action under this Article 14 (including Landlord's right of recapture if any under Section 14.4 of this Lease).
14.3 Transfer Premium. If Landlord consents to Transfer as condition thereto which the parties hereby agree is reasonable, Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of any "Transfer Premium" as that term is defined in this Section 14.3, received by Tenant from such Transferee. "Transfer Premium" shall mean all rent, additional rent or other consideration payable by such Transferee in excess of the Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease on a per rentable square foot basis if less than all of the Premises is transferred after deducting the actual, documented and reasonable expenses incurred by Tenant for (i) any reasonable changes, alterations and improvements to the Premises in connection with the Transfer and/or any tenant improvement allowance provided by Tenant to the Transferee in connection with the Transfer, (ii) any reasonable brokerage commissions in connection with the Transfer, (iii) reasonable attorney's fees and advertising expenses in connection with the Transfer, and (iv) any free rent provided by Tenant to the Transferee in connection with the Transfer. "Transfer Premium" shall also include, but not be limited to, key money and bonus money paid by Transferee to Tenant in connection with such Transfer.
14.4 Landlord's Option as to Subject Space. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14, Landlord shall have the option by giving written notice to Tenant within ten (10) business days after receipt of any Transfer Notice involving (i) an assignment of Tenant's entire interest in this Lease or (ii) a sublease, which when aggregated with all other subleases of space in the Premises, is more than [***] percent ([***]%) of the then total rentable square footage of the Premises, to recapture the Subject Space. Such recapture notice shall cancel and terminate this Lease with respect to the Subject Space as of the date stated in the Transfer Notice as the effective date of the proposed Transfer until the last day of the term of the Transfer as set forth in the Transfer Notice. If this Lease shall be canceled with respect to less than the entire Premises, the Rent reserved herein shall be prorated on the basis of the number of rentable square feet retained by Tenant iii proportion to the number of rentable square feet contained in the Premises, and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect, and upon request of either party, the parties shall execute written confirmation of the same. If Landlord declines, or fails to elect in timely manner to recapture the Subject Space under this Section 14.4, then, provided Landlord has consented to the proposed Transfer, Tenant shall be entitled to proceed to transfer the Subject Space to the proposed Transferee, subject to provisions of the last paragraph of Section 14.2 of this Lease.
14.5 Effect of Transfer. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, (i) the terms and conditions of this Lease shall in no way be deemed to have been waived or modified, (ii) such consent shall not be deemed consent to an further Transfer by either Tenant or a Transferee, (iii) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, promptly after execution, an original executed copy of all documentation pertaining to the Transfer in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and (iv) no Transfer relating to this Lease or agreement entered into with respect thereto, whether with or without Landlord's consent, shall relieve Tenant or any guarantor of the Lease from liability under this Lease.

ARTICLE 15
SURRENDER OWNERSHIP AND REMOVAL OF TRADE FIXTURES
15.1 Surrender of Premises. No act or thing done by Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord during the Lease Term shall be deemed to constitute an acceptance by Landlord of surrender of the Premises unless such intent is specifically acknowledged in writing signed by Landlord. The delivery of keys to the Premises to Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord shall not constitute surrender of the Premises or effect termination of this Lease, whether or not the keys are thereafter retained by Landlord, and notwithstanding such delivery Tenant shall be entitled to the return of such keys at any reasonable time upon request until this Lease shall have been properly terminated. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, whether accepted by Landlord or not, or a mutual termination hereof, shall not work a merger, and at the option of Landlord shall operate as an assignment to Landlord of all subleases or subtenancies affecting the Premises.
15.2 Removal Of Tenant Property by Tenant. Upon the expiration of the Lease Term, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, subject to the provisions of this Article 15, quit and surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in as good order and condition as when Tenant took possession and as thereafter improved by Landlord and/or Tenant, reasonable wear and tear and repairs and casualty damage, which are specifically made the responsibility of Landlord hereunder
35
excepted. Upon such expiration or termination, Tenant shall, without expense to Landlord, remove or cause to be removed from the Premises all debris and rubbish, and such items of furniture, equipment, free-standing cabinet work, and other articles of personal property owned by Tenant or installed or placed by Tenant at its expense in the Premises, and such similar articles of any other persons claiming under Tenant, as Landlord may, in its sole discretion, require to be removed, and Tenant shall repair at its own expense all damage to the Premises and Building resulting from such removal.
If Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Lease Term hereof, with or without the express or implied consent of Landlord, such tenancy shall be from month-to-month only, and shall not constitute a renewal hereof or an extension for any further term, and in such case Base Rent shall be payable at a monthly rate equal to [***] of the Base Rent applicable during the last rental period of the Lease Term under this Lease for the first two (2) months of such holdover and thereafter [***] of the Base Rent applicable during the last rental period of the Lease Term under this Lease. Such month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other term, covenant and agreement contained herein. Landlord hereby expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord as provided in this Lease upon the expiration or other lawful termination of this Lease. The provisions of this Article 16 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein or at law. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) and liability resulting from such failure, including, without limiting, the generality of the foregoing, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to surrender, and any lost profits to Landlord resulting therefrom.
ARTICLE 17
ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES
Within fifteen (15) business days following request in writing by Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate, which shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit E, attached hereto (or such other form as may be reasonably required by any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of the Project, or any portion thereof) indicating therein any exceptions thereto that may exist at that time, and shall also contain any other information reasonably requested by Landlord or Landlord's mortgagee or prospective mortgagee or purchasers. Tenant shall execute and deliver whatever other instruments may be reasonably required for such purposes. Failure of Tenant to execute and deliver such estoppel certificate within such fifteen (15) business day period shall constitute an acknowledgment by Tenant that statements included in the estoppel certificate delivered to Tenant by Landlord are true and correct, without exception.
18.1 Subordination. This Lease is subject and subordinate to all present and future ground or underlying leases of the Real Property and to the lien of any mortgages or trust deeds, now or hereafter in force against the Real Property, if any, and to all renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security of such mortgages or trust deeds, unless the holders of such mortgages or trust deeds, or the lessors under such ground lease or underlying leases, require in writing that this Lease be superior
[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.
36
thereto. A condition precedent to the subordination of this Lease to any ground or underlying lease or to the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust is that Landlord shall obtain for the benefit of Tenant subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement from the lessor or lender, which such agreement provides that so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease Tenant's possession of the Premises and Tenant's other rights and privileges under this Lease shall not be interfered with and shall be honored by the lender, its successors or assigns, or the lessors under such ground lease or underlying leases, and which otherwise provides that should the Premises be transferred by foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as direct lease between the then owner of the Premises and Tenant, and that Tenant shall attorn to such transferee or successor of Landlord. Tenant covenants and agrees in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any such mortgage, or if any ground or underlying lease is terminated, to attorn, without any deductions or set-offs whatsoever to the purchaser upon any such foreclosure sale, or to the lessor of such ground or underlying lease, as the case may be, if so requested to do so by such purchaser or lessor and/or if required to do so pursuant to any SNDA executed by the Current Lender, as defined in and pursuant to Section 18.2 below, and to recognize such purchaser or lessor as the lessor under this Lease. Tenant shall, within ten (10) days of request by Landlord, execute such further instruments or assurances as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary to evidence or confirm the subordination or superiority of this Lease to any such mortgages, trust deeds, ground leases or underlying leases; provided, however, that the agreement include all the rights and privileges granted to Tenant hereunder.
18.2 Existing Agreement. Tenant hereby acknowledges that as of the date of execution of this Lease, there is a deed of trust encumbering the Real Property in favor of Corus Bank, N.A. (the "Current Lender"). Concurrently with Tenant's execution of this Lease, Tenant and Current Lender shall sign, notarize and deliver to each other subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto (the "SNDA").
ARTICLE 19
TENANTS DEFAULTS LANDLORDS REMEDIES
19.1 Events of Default by Tenant. All covenants and agreements to be kept or performed by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense and without any reduction of Rent. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default of this Lease by Tenant:
19.1.1 Any failure by Tenant to pay any Rent or any other charge required to be paid under this Lease, or any part thereof, when due, where such failure continues for five (5) calendar days after written notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that any such notice shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 or any similar or successor law; or
19.1.2 Any failure by Tenant to observe or perform any other provision, covenant or condition of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant where such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof 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 or any similar or successor law; and provided further that if the nature of such default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within a thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if it diligently commences such cure within such period and thereafter diligently proceeds to rectify and cure said default as soon as possible; or
19.2 Landlord's Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of any such default by Tenant pursuant to Section 19.1 above which remains uncured after expiration of the applicable notice and
37
cure period set forth in Section 19.1 above, Landlord shall have, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies each and all of which shall be cumulative and nonexclusive, without, except as otherwise expressly provided below, any additional notice or demand whatsoever.
19.2.1 Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for possession or arrearages in rent, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim or damages therefor; and Landlord may recover from Tenant the following:
(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 that 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 Lease 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, specifically including but not limited, to reasonable brokerage commissions and reasonable advertising expenses incurred reasonable expenses of remodeling the Premises or any portion thereof for new tenant whether for the same or a different use (if reletting for the same use is not feasible) and any reasonable special concessions made to obtain new tenant; and
(v) At Landlord's election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable law.
The term "rent" as used in this Section 19.2 shall be deemed to be and to mean all sums of every nature required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease. As used in Sections 19.2.1(i) and (ii) above, the "worth at the time of award" shall be computed by allowing interest at the Interest Rate set forth in Section 4.5 of this Lease. As used in Section 19.2.1(iii) above, the "worth at the time of award" shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).
19.2.2 Landlord shall have the remedy, described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after lessee's breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). Accordingly, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Tenant, Landlord may, from time to time without terminating this Lease, enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all rent as it becomes due.
19.2.3 In the event of a default by Tenant beyond the expiration of the applicable notice and cure periods, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make any such payment or perform or otherwise cure any such obligation, provision, covenant or condition on Tenant's part to be observed or performed (and may enter the Premises for such purposes). In the event of Tenant's failure to perform any of its obligations or covenants under this Lease, and such failure to perform poses material risk of injury or harm to persons or damage to or loss of property then Landlord
38
shall have the right to cure or otherwise perform such covenant or obligation at any time after such failure to perform by Tenant, whether or not any such notice or cure period set forth in Section 19.1 above has expired. Any such actions undertaken by Landlord pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 19.2.3 shall not be deemed waiver of Landlord's rights and remedies as result of Tenant's failure to perform and shall not release Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease.
19.2.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, in no event shall Tenant be liable to Landlord for any loss of profits loss of business or other consequential damages (collectively, "Consequential Damages") incurred by Landlord as a result of Tenant's default or other acts or omission, except for (i) any Consequential Damages indemnified by Tenant pursuant to Article 16 of this Lease, and/or (ii) Landlord's right to recover damages pursuant to Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code (or any successor statute) following Tenant's default and termination of this Lease as provided therein.
19.3 Payment by Tenant. Tenant shall pay to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after delivery by Landlord to Tenant of statements therefor: (i) sums equal to expenditures reasonably made and obligations incurred by Landlord in connection with Landlord's performance or cure of any of Tenant's obligations pursuant to the provisions of Section 19.2.3 above; and (ii) sums equal to all expenditures made and obligations incurred by Landlord in collecting or attempting to collect the Rent or in enforcing or attempting to enforce any rights of Landlord under this Lease or pursuant to law, including without limitation all legal fees and other amounts so expended. Tenant's obligations under this Section 19.3 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term.
19.4 Sublessees of Tenant. In the event Landlord elects to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Tenant as set forth in this Article 19, Landlord shall have the right to terminate any and all subleases, licenses, concessions or other consensual arrangements for possession entered into by Tenant and affecting the Premises or may, in Landlord's sole discretion, succeed to Tenant's interest in such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements. In the event of Landlord's election to succeed to Tenant's interest in any such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements, Tenant shall, as of the date of notice by Landlord of such election, have no further right to or interest in the rent or other consideration receivable thereunder, other than with respect to (1) receiving credit therefore and (2) the benefits of any suretyship defenses that otherwise may be available to Tenant under the laws of the State of California.
19.5 Waiver of Default. No waiver by either party of any violation or breach by the other party of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained shall be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any other or later violation or breach by such breaching party of the same or any other of the terms, provisions, and covenants herein contained. Forbearance by the non-breaching party in enforcement of one or more of the remedies herein provided upon a default by the other party shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such default by the non-breaching party. The acceptance of any Rent hereunder by Landlord following the occurrence of any default, whether or not known to Landlord, shall not be deemed a waiver of any such default, except only a default in the payment of the Rent so accepted.
19.6 Efforts to Relet. For the purposes of this Article 19, Tenant's right to possession shall not be deemed to have been terminated by efforts of Landlord to relet the Premises (unless, of course, Landlord in fact effects reletting thereof), by its acts of maintenance preservation with respect to the Premises, or by appointment of a receiver to protect Landlord's interests hereunder. The foregoing enumeration is not exhaustive, but merely illustrative of acts which may be performed by Landlord without terminating Tenant's right to possession.
39
19.7 Landlord Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, Landlord shall be in default in the performance of any obligation required to be performed by Landlord pursuant to this Lease if (i) in the event a failure by Landlord is with respect to the payment of money, Landlord fails to pay such unpaid amounts within fifteen (15) business days of written notice from Tenant that the same was not paid when due, or (ii) in the event a failure by Landlord is other than the obligation to pay money, Landlord fails to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice from Tenant specifying in detail Landlord's failure to perform; provided, however, 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 in default under this Lease if it shall promptly and diligently commence such performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues the same to completion. Upon any such default by Landlord under this Lease, Tenant may, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease to the contrary, exercise any of its rights provided at law or in equity, but in no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any lost profits or other consequential damages as a result of such default.

Tenant shall not do anything or suffer anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way conflict with any applicable Laws now in force or which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated. At its sole cost and expense, Tenant shall promptly comply and promptly cause the Premises to comply with all such applicable Laws, including, without limitation, the making of any improvements and alterations to the Premises (including those considered to be capital improvements) and those Laws pertaining to Hazardous Materials; provided, however, that the making of structural changes to the Building or changes to the common areas of the Building or Real Property which are not necessitated by any improvements and Alterations to the Premises installed by or on behalf of Tenant, by any specific act or negligence of Tenant or Tenant's agents, employees, licensees or invitees, and/or by Tenant's specific manner of use of the Premises, shall be performed by Landlord and the cost thereof shall be included in Operating Expenses except to the extent specifically excluded in Section 4.2.4 of this Lease. In addition, Tenant shall fully comply with all present or future governmentally mandated programs intended to manage parking, transportation or traffic in and around the Real Property.
Landlord reserves the right at all reasonable times and upon at least forty-eight (48) hours prior written notice to Tenant (except no such notice shall be required in emergencies) to enter the Premises to: (i) inspect them; (ii) show the Premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagees, ground or underlying lessors or, during the last six (6) months of the Lease Term, to prospective tenants of the Premises; (iii) to post notices of nonresponsibility; or (iv) alter, improve or repair the Premises or the Building if necessary to comply with current building codes or other applicable Laws, or for structural alterations, repairs or improvements to the Building, or as Landlord may otherwise reasonably desire or deem reasonably necessary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 22, Landlord may enter the Premises at any time, without notice to Tenant, in emergency situations and/or to perform janitorial or other services required of Landlord pursuant to this Lease. Any such entries shall be without the abatement of Rent (except as provided in Section 6.5 above) and shall include the right
40
to take such reasonable steps as required to accomplish the stated purposes. Tenant hereby waives any claims for damages or for any injuries or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant's business, lost profits, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any other loss occasioned thereby. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Article 22, Landlord agrees, absent an emergency, or Landlord's entry to perform its obligations under this Lease or Landlord's exercise of its rights and remedies under Article 19 of this Lease or otherwise enforce its rights under this Lease, to be accompanied by a representative of Tenant but only if such representative is reasonably made available to Landlord at the time Landlord desires to so enter the Premises. For each of the above purposes, Landlord shall at all times have a key with which to unlock all the doors in the Premises, excluding Tenant's vaults, safes and special security areas designated in advance by Tenant. In an emergency, Landlord shall have the right to enter without notice and use any means that Landlord may deem proper to open the doors in and to the Premises. Any entry into the Premises in compliance with this Article 22 shall not be deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant from any portion of the Premises. In connection with any entries by Landlord pursuant to this Article 22, Landlord shall follow Tenant's commercially reasonable security procedures and shall use commercially reasonable efforts not to unreasonably interfere with Tenant's permitted use of the Premises during normal business hours. Tenant may reasonably designate a certain reasonable number of areas within the Premises as "Secured Areas" should Tenant require such areas for the purpose of securing certain valuable property or confidential information. Landlord may not enter such Secured Areas except in the case of an emergency or in the event of a Landlord inspection, in which case Landlord shall provide Tenant with at least forty-eight (48) hours prior written notice. Landlord shall not show the Secured Area to a prospective lender, purchaser or tenant without forty-eight (48) hours prior written notice and without a representative of Tenant being present. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall have no obligation to perform janitorial services in such Secured Areas unless Tenant provides Landlord a written request for same and provides Landlord with access to such Secured Areas (by providing Landlord a key or other device, and by scheduling Landlord's entry with an escort or otherwise).
Tenant shall rent throughout the Lease Term the number of parking passes set forth in Section 11 of the Summary, located in those portions of the Parking Facilities as may be designated by Landlord from time to time. Tenant shall pay to Landlord for the use of such parking passes, on a monthly basis, the prevailing rate charged from time to time by Landlord or Landlord's parking operator for parking passes in the Parking Facilities where such parking passes are located. Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, there will .be no charge for unreserved, uncovered parking passes during the initial Lease Term; provided, however, that during any Option Term (if any extension option is exercised by Tenant pursuant to the Extension Option Rider), Tenant shall pay to Landlord for the use of such unreserved, uncovered parking passes, on a monthly basis, the prevailing rate (if any) charged from time to time by Landlord or Landlord's parking operator for unreserved, uncovered parking passes in the Parking Facilities where such parking passes are located. Tenant's continued right to use the parking passes is conditioned upon Tenant abiding by all rules and regulations which are prescribed from time to time for the orderly operation and use of the Parking Facilities and upon Tenant's cooperation in seeing that Tenant's employees and visitors also comply with such rules and regulations. In addition, Landlord may assign any parking spaces and/or make all or a portion of such spaces reserved or institute an attendant-assisted tandem parking program and/or valet parking program if Landlord determines in its sole discretion that such is necessary or desirable for orderly and efficient parking. Landlord specifically reserves the right, from time to time, to change the size, configuration, design, layout, location and all other aspects of the Parking Facilities; provided, however, that Landlord
41
shall provide Tenant with substitute parking within a reasonable distance from the Parking Facilities in the event Landlord's actions hereunder causes Tenant to not have access to the Parking Facilities. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord, from time to time, may without incurring any liability to Tenant and without, except as otherwise provided in Section 6.5 above, any abatement of Rent under this Lease temporarily close-off or restrict access to the Parking Facilities, or temporarily relocate Tenant's parking spaces to other parking structures and/or surface parking areas within a reasonable distance from the Parking Facilities, for purposes of permitting or facilitating any such construction, alteration or improvements or to accommodate or facilitate renovation, alteration, construction or other modification of other improvements or structures located on the Real Property. Landlord may delegate its responsibilities hereunder to a parking operator in which case such parking operator shall have all the rights of control attributed hereby to Landlord. The parking rates charged by Landlord for Tenant's parking passes shall be exclusive of any parking tax or other charges imposed by governmental authorities in connection with the use of such parking, which taxes and/or charges shall be paid directly by Tenant or the parking users, or if directly imposed against Landlord, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all such taxes and/or charges within ten (10) days after Tenant's receipt of the invoice from Landlord.

The signage rights granted to Tenant under this Section 24.8.2 are personal to the Original Tenant and any assignee that is an Affiliate of Original Tenant's entire interest in this Lease pursuant to Section 14.7 of this Lease (but any name change to reflect the name of such Affiliate assignee shall be subject to Landlord's approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and may not be exercised or used by or assigned to any other person or entity. In addition, Original Tenant (or such Affiliate assignee, as the case may be) shall no longer have any right to Tenant's Exterior Signage if at any time during the Lease Term the Original Tenant (or such Affiliate assignee, as the case may be) does not lease and occupy at least fifty percent (50%) of the Premises then leased by Tenant hereunder. Upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, or upon the earlier termination of Tenant's signage right under this Section 24.8.2, Landlord shall have the right to permanently remove Tenant's Exterior Signage and to repair all damage to the Monument Sign and/or the Building resulting from such removal and restore the affected area to its original condition existing prior to the installation of Tenant's Exterior Signage, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the costs thereof.
24.9 Relationship of Parties. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed or construed by the parties hereto or by any third party to create the relationship of principal and agent, partnership, joint venturer or any association between Landlord and Tenant, it being expressly understood and agreed that neither the method of computation of Rent nor any act of the parties hereto shall be deemed to create any relationship between Landlord and Tenant other than the relationship of landlord and tenant.
24.10 Application of Payments. Landlord shall have the right to apply payments received from Tenant pursuant to this Lease, regardless of Tenant's designation of such payments, to satisfy any obligations of Tenant hereunder, in such order and amounts as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may elect.
24.11 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Lease and each of its provisions.
24.12 Partial Invalidity. If any term, provision or condition contained in this Lease shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such term, provision or condition to persons or circumstances other than those with respect to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each and every other term, provision and condition of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent possible permitted by law.
24.13 No Warranty. In executing and delivering this Lease, Tenant has not relied on any representation, including, but not limited to, any representation whatsoever as to the amount of any item comprising Additional Rent or the amount of the Additional Rent in the aggregate or that Landlord is furnishing the same services to other tenants, at all, on the same level or on the same basis, or any warranty or any statement of Landlord which is not set forth herein or in one or more of the Exhibits attached hereto.
24.14 Landlord Exculpation. It is expressly understood and agreed that notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, and notwithstanding any applicable law to the contrary, the liability of Landlord and the Landlord Parties hereunder (including any successor landlord) and any recourse by Tenant against Landlord or the Landlord Parties shall be limited solely and exclusively to an amount
44
which is equal to the interest of Landlord in the Real Property, to the rents provided for and defined herein, and any available insurance proceeds, and neither Landlord, nor any of the Landlord Parties shall have any personal liability therefor, and Tenant hereby expressly waives and releases such personal liability on behalf of itself and all persons claiming by, through or under Tenant.
24.15 Entire Agreement. It is understood and acknowledged that there are no oral agreements between the parties hereto affecting this Lease and this Lease supersedes and cancels any and all previous negotiations, arrangements, brochures, agreements and understandings, if any, between the parties hereto or displayed by Landlord to Tenant with respect to the subject matter thereof, and none thereof shall be used to interpret or construe this Lease. This Lease (including all exhibits attached hereto) and any side letter or separate agreement executed by Landlord and Tenant in connection with this Lease and dated of even date herewith contain all of the terms, covenants, conditions, warranties and agreements of the parties relating in any manner to the rental, use and occupancy of the Premises, shall be considered to be the only agreement between the parties hereto and their representatives and agents, and none of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease can be modified, deleted or added to except in writing signed by the parties hereto. All negotiations and oral agreements acceptable to both parties have been merged into and are included herein. There are no other representations or warranties between the parties, and all reliance with respect to representations is based totally upon the representations and agreements contained in this Lease.
24.16 Right to Lease. Landlord reserves the absolute right to effect such other tenancies in the Buildings, Adjacent Building (if and when constructed) and/or in any other building and/or any other portion of the Real Property as Landlord in the exercise of its sole business judgment shall determine to best promote the interests of the Real Property. Tenant does not rely on the fact, nor does Landlord represent, that any specific tenant or type or number of tenants shall, during the Lease Term, occupy any space in the Building or Real Property.
24.17 Force Majeure. Any prevention, delay or stoppage due to strikes, lockouts, labor disputes, acts of God, inability to obtain services, labor, or materials or reasonable substitutes therefor, governmental actions, civil commotions, fire or other casualty, and other causes beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform, except with respect to the obligations imposed with regard to Rent and other charges to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease and except with respect to Tenant's obligations under the Tenant Work Letter (collectively, the "Force Majeure"), notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, shall excuse the performance of such party for period equal to any such prevention, delay or stoppage and, therefore, if this Lease specifies time period for performance of an obligation of either party, that time period shall be extended by the period of any delay in such party's performance caused by a Force Majeure.
24.18 Intentionally Omitted.
24.19 Notices. All notices, demands, statements or communications (collectively, "Notices") given or required to be given by either party to the other hereunder shall be in writing, shall be sent by United States certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or delivered personally (i) to Tenant at the appropriate address set forth in Section 5 of the Summary, or to such other place as Tenant may from time to time designate in a Notice to Landlord; or (ii) to Landlord at the addresses set forth in Section 3 of the Summary, or to such other firm or to such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in a Notice to Tenant. Any Notice will be deemed given on the date it is mailed as provided in this Section 24.19 or upon the date personal delivery is made. If Tenant is notified of the identity and address of Landlord's mortgagee or ground or underlying lessor, Tenant shall give to such mortgagee or ground or underlying lessor written notice of any default by Landlord under the terms of this Lease by registered or certified mail, and such mortgagee or ground or underlying lessor shall be given a reasonable opportunity to cure such default prior to Tenant's exercising any remedy available to Tenant.
45
24.20 Joint and Several. If there is more than one Tenant, the obligations imposed upon Tenant under this Lease shall be joint and several.
24.21 Authority. Tenant hereby represents and warrants that Tenant is a duly formed and existing entity qualified to do business in the state in which the Real Property is located and that Tenant has full right and authority to execute and deliver this Lease and that each person signing on behalf of Tenant is authorized to do so. Landlord hereby represents and warrants that Landlord is a duly formed and existing entity qualified to do business in the state in which the Real Property is located and that Landlord has full right and authority to execute and deliver this Lease and that each person signing on behalf of Landlord is authorized to do so.
24.22 Jury Trial; Attorneys' Fees. IF EITHER PARTY COMMENCES LITIGATION AGAINST THE OTHER FOR THE SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF THIS LEASE, FOR DAMAGES FOR THE BREACH HEREOF OR OTHERWISE FOR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY REMEDY HEREUNDER, THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE TO AND HEREBY DO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. In the event any party brings any suit or other proceeding with respect to the subject matter or enforcement of this Agreement or with respect to a breach of a representation or warranty hereunder or with respect to any tortious allegation with respect thereto, the prevailing party as determined by the court, agency or other authority (before which such suit or proceeding is commenced) shall, in addition to such other relief as may be awarded, be entitled to recover attorneys' fees, expenses and costs of investigation as actually incurred, including reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses and costs of investigation incurred in appellate proceedings, costs incurred in establishing the right to indemnification, or in any action or participation in or in connection with any case or proceeding under Chapters 7, 11 or 13 of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. sections 101, et seq., or any successor statutes. The term "attorneys' fees, expenses and costs of investigation" shall mean and include, but shall not be limited to, legal fees, accountant's fees, expert witness fees, and any and all similarly related fees incurred in connection with the action or proceeding, and the preparation thereof. The term "suit or other proceeding" shall mean and include any and all actions, proceedings, suits, mediations, arbitrations, appeals and other similarly related legal means of resolving disputes.
24.23 Governing Law. This Lease shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Real Property is located.
24.24 Submission of Lease. Submission of this instrument for examination or signature by Tenant does not constitute a reservation of or an option for lease, and it is not effective as a lease or otherwise until execution and delivery by both Landlord and Tenant.
24.25 Brokers. Landlord and Tenant hereby warrant to each other that they have had no dealings with any real estate broker or agent in connection with the negotiation of this Lease, excepting only the real estate brokers or agents specified in Section 12 of the Summary (the "Brokers"), and that they know of no other real estate broker or agent who is entitled to a commission in connection with this Lease. Each party agrees to indemnify and defend the other party against and hold the other party harmless from any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, lawsuits, judgments, and costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees) with respect to any leasing commission or equivalent compensation alleged to be owing on account of the indemnifying party's dealings with any real estate broker or agent other than the Brokers.
24.26 Independent Covenants. This Lease shall be construed as though the covenants herein between Landlord and Tenant are independent and not dependent and Tenant hereby expressly waives the benefit of any statute to the contrary and agrees that if Landlord fails to perform its obligations set forth herein, Tenant shall not, except as otherwise provided herein, be entitled to make any repairs or perform any acts hereunder at Landlord's expense or to any setoff of the Rent or other amounts owing hereunder against Landlord; provided, however, that the foregoing shall in no way impair the right of Tenant to commence a separate action against Landlord for any violation by Landlord of the provisions
46
hereof so long as notice is first given to Landlord and any holder of a mortgage or deed of trust covering the Building, Real Property or any portion thereof, of whose address Tenant has theretofore been notified, and an opportunity is granted to Landlord and such holder to correct such violations as provided above.
24.27 Building Name and Signage. So long as Tenant is able to maintain its sign rights hereunder, Landlord shall have the right at any time to change the name(s) of the Buildings and Real Property and to install, affix and maintain any and all signs on the exterior and on the interior of the Buildings and any portion of the Real Property as Landlord may, in Landlord's sole discretion, desire. Tenant shall not use the names of the Buildings or Real Property or use pictures or illustrations of the Buildings or Real Property in advertising or other publicity, without the prior written consent of Landlord.
24.28 Building Directory. At Tenant's cost, Landlord shall include Tenant's name and location in the Building on one (1) line on the Building directory.
24.29 Intentionally Omitted
24.30 Landlord's Construction. It is specifically understood and agreed that Landlord has no obligation and has made no promises to alter, remodel, improve, renovate, repair, or decorate the Premises, the Buildings, Real Property, or any part thereof and that no representations or warranties respecting the condition of the Premises, the Buildings or the Real Property have been made by Landlord to Tenant, except as specifically set forth in this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that prior to and during the Lease Term, Landlord (and/or any common area association) will be completing construction and/or demolition work pertaining to various portions of the Buildings, Premises and/or Real Property, including without limitation the Parking Facilities, landscaping and tenant improvements for premises for other tenants and, at Landlord's sole election, such other buildings (including the Adjacent Building), parking facilities, improvements, landscaping and other facilities within or as part of the Project as Landlord (and/or such common area association) shall from time to time desire (collectively, the "Construction"). In connection with such Construction, Landlord may, among other things, erect scaffolding or other necessary structures in the Building, limit or eliminate access to portions of the Real Property, including portions of the common areas, or perform work in the Building and/or Real Property, which work may create noise, dust or leave debris in the Building and/or Real Property. Tenant hereby agrees that such Construction and Landlord's commercially reasonable actions in connection with such Construction shall in no way constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant nor entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent (except as provided in Section 6.5 above). Except as provided in Section 6.5 above, Landlord shall have no responsibility or for any reason be liable to Tenant for any direct or indirect injury to or interference with Tenant's business arising from such Construction, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the whole or any part of the Premises or of Tenant's personal property or improvements resulting from such Construction or Landlord's actions in connection with such Construction, or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such Construction or Landlord's actions in connection with such Construction; provided, however, Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant's use of and access to the Premises as a result of such Renovations.
24.31 Communication Equipment. If Tenant desires to use the roof of the Building to install communication equipment to be used from the Premises, Tenant may so notify Landlord in writing ("Communication Equipment Notice"), which Communication Equipment Notice shall generally describe the specifications for the equipment desired by Tenant. If at the time of Landlord's receipt of the Communication Equipment Notice, Landlord reasonably determines that space is available on the roof of the Building for such equipment, then subject to all governmental laws, rules and regulations, Tenant and Tenant's contractors (which shall first be reasonably approved by Landlord) shall have the right and access to install, repair, replace, remove, operate and maintain one (1) so-called "satellite
47
dish" or other similar device, such as antennae no greater than twenty (20) inches in diameter and weighing no more than fifty (50) pounds, together with all cable, wiring, conduits and related equipment (collectively, "Communication Equipment"), for the purpose of receiving and sending radio, television, computer, telephone or other communication signals, at a location on the roof of the Building designated by Landlord. Further, Tenant shall have the right of access, consistent with this Section 24.31, to the area where the Communication Equipment is located for the purposes of maintaining, repairing, testing and replacing the same. Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to relocate the Communication Equipment at any time to another location on the roof of the Building. Unless Landlord elects to perform such penetrations at Tenant's sole cost and expense, Tenant shall retain Landlord's designated roofing contractor to make any necessary penetrations and associated repairs to the roof in order to preserve Landlord's roof warranty. Tenant's installation and operation of the Communication Equipment shall be governed by the following terms and conditions:
24.31.1 Tenant's right to install, replace, repair, remove, operate and maintain the Communication Equipment shall be subject to all applicable Laws and Landlord makes no representation that such Laws permit such installation and operation;
24.31.2 All plans and specifications for the Communication Equipment shall be subject to Landlord's reasonable approval;
24.31.3 All Costs of installation, operation and maintenance of the Communication Equipment and any necessary related equipment (including, without limitation, costs of obtaining any necessary permits and connections to the Building's electrical system) shall be borne by Tenant;
24.31.4 It is expressly understood that Landlord retains the right to use the roof of the Building for any purpose whatsoever (including granting rights to third parties to utilize any portion of the roof not utilized by Tenant);
24.31.5 Tenant shall use the Communication Equipment so as not to cause any interference to other tenants in the Building or to other tenants at the Real Property or with any other tenant's communication equipment, and not to damage the Real Property or interfere with the normal operation of the Real Property and Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, damages, expenses and liabilities (including attorneys' fees) arising out of Tenant's failure to comply with the provisions of this Section 24.31.5, except to the extent same is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord which is not covered by the insurance carried by Tenant under this Lease (or which would not be covered by the insurance required to be carried by Tenant under this Lease);
24.31.6 For the purposes of determining Tenant's obligations with respect to its use of the roof of the Building herein provided, all of the provisions of this Lease relating to compliance with requirements as to insurance, indemnity, and compliance with laws shall apply to the installation, use and maintenance of the Communication Equipment; provided, however, Tenant shall only be provided access to the roof after prior written notice to Landlord and subject to Landlord's reasonable rules and restrictions regarding access (including, at Landlord's option, the requirement that Tenant be accompanied by a representative of Landlord during such access). Landlord shall not have any obligations with respect to the Communication Equipment. Landlord makes no representation that the Communication Equipment will be able to receive or transmit communication signals without interference or disturbance (whether or not by reason of the installation or use of similar equipment by others on the roof of the Building) and Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant therefor;
24.31.7 Tenant shall (i) be solely responsible for any damage caused as a result of the Communication Equipment, (ii) promptly pay any tax, license or permit fees charged pursuant to
48
any laws or regulations in connection with the installation, maintenance or use of the Communication Equipment and comply with all precautions and safeguards recommended by all governmental authorities, and (iii) pay for all necessary repairs, replacements to or maintenance of the Communication Equipment;
24.31.8 The Communication Equipment shall remain the sole property of Tenant. Tenant shall remove the Communication Equipment and related equipment at Tenant's sole cost and expense upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease or upon the imposition of any governmental law or regulation which may require removal, and shall repair the Building upon such removal to the extent required by such work of removal. If Tenant fails to remove the Communication Equipment and repair the Building upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Landlord may do so at Tenant's expense. The provisions of this Section 24.31.8 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease;
24.31.9 The Communication Equipment shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Premises for purposes of Article 10 of this Lease;
24.31.10 Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, shall install and maintain such fencing and other protective equipment and/or visual screening on or about the Communication Equipment as Landlord may reasonably determine;
24.31.11 If any of the conditions set forth in this Section 24.31 are not complied with by Tenant, then without limiting Landlord's rights and remedies it may otherwise have under this Lease, at law and/or in equity, Tenant shall correct such noncompliance within five (5) days after receipt of notice (or such longer period as may be reasonably required as long as Tenant commences such correction within such five (5) day period and diligently prosecutes the same to completion). If Tenant fails to correct any such noncompliance within such five (5) day period (as may be extended), then, at Landlord's option, Tenant shall immediately discontinue its use of such Communication Equipment and remove the same in accordance with the terms hereof; and
24.31.12 Tenant's rights under this Section 24.31 with respect to the Communication Equipment shall be personal to the Original Tenant and any assignee that is an Affiliate of the Original Tenant's entire interest in this Lease pursuant to Section 14.7 of this Lease, and may only be utilized by the Original Tenant or such assignee that is an Affiliate (and may not be exercised or utilized by any other assignee, sublessee or other transferee of the Original Tenant's interest in this Lease or the Premises) if the Original Tenant (or such assignee that is an Affiliate, as the case may be) occupies at least [***] of the entire Premises then leased by Original Tenant (or Affiliate assignee, as the case may be).
24.32 Consent and Approvals. Except for (i) matters which could have a material adverse effect on the Building's structure or the Building's Systems and Equipment, the Base, Shell and Core, or which could affect the exterior appearance of the Building, the Real Property or any common areas, or (ii) matters covered by Article 19 of this Lease (collectively, the "Excepted Matters"), any time the consent of Landlord or Tenant is required under this Lease, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and, except with regard to the Excepted Matters, whenever this Lease grants Landlord or Tenant the right to take action, exercise discretion, establish rules and regulations or make an allocation or their determination, Landlord and Tenant shall act reasonably and in good faith. With respect to the Excepted Matters, Landlord shall be entitled to grant its consent or exercise its discretion in its sole and absolute discretion, but shall act in good faith. Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, Landlord and Tenant shall grant or withhold its consent or exercise its discretion with respect to matters for which there is a standard of consent or discretion specifically set forth in this Lease in accordance with such specific standards.

AGREEMENT REGARDING ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION OF LEASE,
LANDLORD CONSENT, RELEASE OF ASSIGNOR,
AND AMENDMENT TO LEASE
This Agreement Regarding Assignment and Assumption of Lease, Landlord Consent, Release of Assignor, and Amendment to Lease (this "Agreement") is made as of April 1, 2007 (the "Effective Date"), by XXXXXX REALTY, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Landlord"), [***] ("Assignor"), and BRIDGEPOINT EDUCATION, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Assignee").
A. [***] (the "Original Landlord"), predecessor-in-interest to Landlord, and Assignor entered into that certain Office Lease dated September 3, 2004 (the "Office Lease"), as amended by that certain First Amendment to Office Lease dated March 1, 2005 (the "First Amendment"), as further amended by Landlord's letter dated February 28, 2007 ("Letter Extension") which extended the date by which Assignor was to deliver the Termination Notice under Section 2.2 of the Office Lease (the Office Lease, the First Amendment and the Letter Extension are collectively referred to hereinafter as the "Lease"), whereby Original Landlord leased to Assignor, and Assignor leased from Original Landlord, those certain premises (the "Premises") totaling 48,882 rentable square feet (44,125 usable square feet), which consists of 23,102 rentable square feet on the entire second (2nd) floor and 25,780 rentable square feet on the entire third (3rd) floor of that certain office building (the "Building") located at 00000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, which Building constitutes a portion of that certain project commonly known as "Xxxxxx Sabre Springs" (the "Project").
B. In September, 2004, Assignor, as tenant under the Lease, was requested to sign a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement ("SNDA") in favor of [***] ("Lender") in connection with a loan ("Loan") made by Lender to the Original Landlord. The SNDA, among other things, obligated Assignor to give written notice to Lender of any alteration, amendment or modification of the Lease. Landlord has indicated that, in connection with Landlord's acquisition of the Project from the Original Landlord, the Lender's Loan was satisfied in full, and that therefore no notice or consent rights of Lender remain with regard to the Project, specifically including the Lease and/or this Agreement.
C. Assignor and Assignee entered into a short-term License and Indemnification Agreement Relating To The Use of Premises ("License Agreement") which granted Assignee, as licensee thereunder, certain use rights to a portion of the Premises while this Agreement was being negotiated.
D. Assignor desires to assign to Assignee, and Assignee desires to assume from Assignor, all of Assignor's right, title, and interest in, to and under the Lease pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.
E. In connection with such assignment, Assignor and Assignee desire to obtain Landlord's consent thereto, and Assignor desires to obtain Landlord 's release of Assignor, and Landlord is willing to so consent to the assignment and release Assignor on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
F. Landlord and Assignee desire to amend and modify the rent schedule, and to otherwise amend the Lease on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
1. Effectiveness of this Agreement. Landlord, Assignor, and Assignee hereby acknowledge that the effectiveness of this Agreement is subject to, and expressly conditioned upon, (i) the full execution and delivery of this Agreement by each of Assignor, Assignee and Landlord, (ii) Assignor's concurrent
[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.
1
delivery to Landlord of the "Restructuring Fee," as that term is defined in Section 4, below, and (iii) Assignors delivery to Assignee an executed Xxxx of Sale for the personal property referred to in Section 23 hereof, the form of which Xxxx of Sale is more particularly set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto (collectively, the "Conditions Precedent'). Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever to Assignor or Assignee in the event that the Conditions Precedent are not satisfied. Until such time as the Conditions Precedent are satisfied, the Lease shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect.
2. Termination of License Agreement; Assignment and Assumption of Lease. Assignor and Assignee agree that the terms and conditions of the License Agreement are hereby terminated, except for those covenants which were agreed to therein that were to survive the termination thereof. Assignor hereby assigns to Assignee all of Assignor's right, title and interest in, to and under the Lease and the Premises, and Assignee hereby accepts such assignment, assumes all of Assignor's obligations under the Lease (as previously amended and further amended by this Agreement), agrees to be bound by all of the provisions thereof and to perform all of the obligations of the tenant thereunder from and after the Effective Date. Landlord hereby consents to the foregoing assignment.
3. Release of Assignor.
A. Release. Upon the full execution and delivery of this Agreement by and among the parties hereto, and except as otherwise provided in Section 3.E below, each of Landlord and Assignor hereby release and forever discharge the other party, and their respective affiliates, parent and subsidiary companies, successors-in-interest, transferees, assigns, officers, directors, shareholders, agents, attorneys (including in-house attorneys), and employees, and each of them (collectively, and to the extent applicable, the "Releasees" or "Releasors", as the case may be), from any and all "Claims", as hereinafter defined For purposes of this Agreement, "Claims" shall relate only to the period commencing on the Effective Date (as opposed to any portion of the Lease Term occurring prior to such Effective Date), and shall constitute any and all claims, defenses, debts, demands, liabilities, contracts and causes of action of whatever kind or nature applicable to such time period, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, which any of the Releasors may now, or in the future have or claim to have against the Releasees, including but not limited to, contract claims, tort claims, or any other claims, to the extent such claims arise from or are related to any and all matters or transactions dealing with the Lease and/or with Assignor's occupation of the Premises and/or Building, or are in any way connected with any transaction, agreement, occurrence, act or omission whatsoever which was done, or alleged to have been done, omitted, in effect or occurring relating to any of the above. Insofar as said Claims are concerned, the Releasees expressly waive all rights under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code and under statutes of similar import. The Releasors acknowledge that they are familiar with and voluntarily waive any right or benefit arising from Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, which provides as follows:
A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him, would have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.
B. Intentions. The Releasors waive and relinquish any right or benefit which they now have or may have under Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any similar provision of the statutory or non-statutory law of any jurisdiction to the full extent that they may lawfully waive all such rights and benefits pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement. In connection with such waiver and relinquishment, the Releasors acknowledge that they are aware that they or their attorneys or accountants or any other parties may hereafter discover facts in addition to or different from those which they now know or believe to exist with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, but that it is their intention hereby fully, finally and forever to settle and release all claims, disputes and differences known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected
2
which now exist, and/or mayor heretofore have existed relating to the Claims. This release shall be and will remain in effect as a full and complete release, notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such additional or different facts.
C. Covenant Not To Xxx. The Releasors further agree not to xxx one another or in any way assist any other person or entity in suing one another with respect to any claim released herein. This release may be pleaded as a full and complete defense to and may be used as the basis for an injunction against any action, suit or other proceeding which may be instituted, prosecuted or attempted in breach of the release contained herein.
D. Advice of Counsel. The Releasors further acknowledge that they have been advised by their respective attorneys as to the meaning and consequences of Section 1542.
E. Limitation on Release. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 3, above, in no event shall anything set forth in this Section 3 of this Agreement constitute a release or discharge of Landlord or Assignor or any related parties identified in the definition of Releasees in this Section 3.A, above, as the case may be, from the following:
1. Assignor's obligation for the payment of rents and for the performance of all other obligations of Assignor under the Lease to the extent attributable to the period ending at 11:59 p.m. of the day immediately preceding the Effective Date of this Agreement, specifically including, but not limited to, the presently scheduled payment of Base Rent attributable to March 2007; provided, however, that Landlord and Assignee each hereby agrees that, notwithstanding the applicable provisions of the Lease relating to the condition of the Premises at the expiration of the Lease Term, whether set forth in Section 8.3, Article 15, or elsewhere in the Lease, (i) Landlord hereby waives the applicability of the same vis-à-vis Assignor, and (ii) Assignee acknowledges that the foregoing waiver by Landlord of the application of such provisions against Assignor shall not constitute a waiver of such provisions against Assignee, but rather that those provision shall remain without amendment in connection with the ultimate surrender of the Premises at the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.
4. Restructuring Fee. In consideration for (i) Landlord's execution of this Agreement, (ii) Landlord's consent to the assignment of the Lease effectuated hereby, (iii) Landlord's release of Assignor as provided for hereinabove as of the Effective Date, and (iv) the restructuring of the rent schedule applicable upon, and following, such Effective Date, Assignor shall deliver to Landlord, concurrently with Assignor's execution and delivery of this Agreement to Landlord, an amount equal to the sum of [***] (the "Restructuring Fee").
5. Subsequent Assignments. This Consent shall not constitute a consent to any subsequent subletting or assignment and shall not relieve Assignee or any person claiming under or through Assignee of the obligation to obtain the consent of Landlord, pursuant to Article 14 of the Lease, to any future assignment or sublease.
6. Condition of the Premises. Landlord, Assignor and Assignee acknowledge that (i) Assignor has been occupying the Premises pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Lease, (ii) neither Landlord (nor any agent of Landlord) nor Assignor (nor any agent of Assignor) has made any representation or warranty regarding the condition of the Premises or the suitability of the Premises for the conduct of Assignee 's business, and (iii) Assignee has previously inspected and hereby accepts the Premises in its presently existing, "AS IS" condition.

27. Security Personnel in Second Floor Lobby. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.8 of the Lease limiting the rights to security personnel in the second floor lobby to Assignor or its Affiliate assignees, Landlord hereby agrees that the provisions of such Section 6.8 shall nevertheless continue to apply to the benefit of Assignee and that Assignee shall have the rights to security personnel in the second floor lobby contained in Section 6.8 of the Lease.

statement (the "Statement") which shall state, on a line item by line item basis per category, the Building Operating Expenses, Project Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses, Building Utilities Costs, and Project Utilities Costs incurred or accrued for such preceding Expense Year, and which shall indicate the amount, if any, of any Excess. Upon receipt of the Statement for each Expense Year ending during the Lease Term, if an Excess is present, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Base Rent due, the full amount of the Excess for such Expense Year, less the amounts, if any; paid during such Expense Year as "Estimated Excess." as that term is defined in Section 4.3.3 of this Lease. If any Statement reflects that Tenant has overpaid Tenant's Building Share of Building Operating Expenses and/or Building Utilities Costs, Tenants Project Share of Tax Expenses, Tenant's Project Share of Project Operating Expenses and/or Project Utilities costs for such Expense Year, Landlord shall, at its option, either credit such overpayment toward Tenants next rent payment(s) under this lease, or remit to Tenant with such applicable Statement the amount of the overpayment. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Statement for any Expense Year shall not prejudice Landlord from enforcing its rights under this Article 4. Even though the Lease Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenants Building Share of the Building Operating Expenses and Building Utilities Costs, Tenants Project Share of Project Operating Expenses and Project Utilities Costs and Tenant's Project Share of Tax Expenses for the Expense Year in which this Lease terminates, if an Excess is present, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord an amount as calculated pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.3.1 of this Lease. The provisions of this Section 4.3.2 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Tenant shall not be responsible for Tenants Building Share of any Building Operating Expenses and/or Building Utilities Costs and Tenants Project Share of Project Operating Expenses and/or Project Utilities Costs and/or Tenants Project Share of Tax Expenses attributable to any Expense Year which was first billed to Tenant more than [***] Years after the date (the "Cutoff Date") which is the earlier of (i) the expiration of the applicable Expense Year or (ii) the Lease Expiration Date, except that Tenant shall be responsible for Tenant's Building Share of Building Operating Expenses and Building Utilities Costs, Tenant's Project Share of Tax Expenses, and Tenant's Project Share of Project Utilities Costs and Project Operating Expenses levied by any governmental authority or by any public utility company at any time following the applicable Cutoff Date which are attributable to any Expense Year occurring prior to such Cutoff Date, so long as Landlord delivers to Tenant a xxxx and supplemental Statement for such amounts within [***] years following Landlords receipt of the applicable xxxx therefor. The provisions of this Section 4.32 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.
4.3.3 Statement of Estimated Building Operating Expenses, Project Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses, Building Utilities Costs and Project Utilities Costs. In addition, Landlord shall endeavor to give Tenant a yearly expense estimate statement (the "Estimate Statement") which shall, set forth Landlord's reasonable estimate (the "Estimate"), on a line item by line item basis per category, of what the total amount, of Building Operating Expenses, Project Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses, Building Utilities Costs and Project Utilities Costs for the then current Expense Year shall be and the estimated Excess (the "Estimated Excess") as calculated by comparing (i) Tenants Building Share of Building Operating Expenses, which shall be based upon the Estimate, to Tenant's Building Share of Building Operating Expenses for the Expense Base Year, (ii) Tenants Project Share of Project Operating Expenses, which shall be based upon The estimate, to Tenants Project Share of Project Operating Expenses for the Expense Base Year, (iii) Tenants Project Share of Tax Expenses, which shall be based upon the Estimate, to Tenant's Project Sham of Tax Expenses for the Tax Expense Base Year, (iv) Tenants Building Share of Building Utilities Costs, which shall be based upon the Estimate, to Tenants Building Share of Building Utilities Costs for the Utilities Base Year, and (v) Tenant's Project Share of Project Utilities Costs, which shall be based upon the estimate, to Tenant's Project Share of Project Utilities Costs for the

Utilities Base Year; provided, however, in no event shall any such Estimate Statement for any Calendar Year after the Expense Base Year, Tax Expense Base Year and Utilities Base Year set forth an Estimated Excess be greater than [***] percent ([***]%) of the Excess payable by Tenant in the prior Calendar Year. The failure of Landlord to timely fairish the Estimate Statement for any Expense Year shall not preclude Landlord from enforcing its rights to collect any Estimated Excess under this Article 4. If pursuant to the Estimate Statement an Estimated Excess is calculated for the then-current Expense Year, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Base Rent due, a fraction of the Estimated Excess for the then-current Expense Year (reduced by any amounts paid pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 4.3.3). Such fraction shall have as Its numerator the number of months which have elapsed in such current Expense Year to the month such payment; both months inclusive, and shall have twelve (12) as its denominator.

4.2.10 "Utilities Costs" shall mean all actual charges for utilities for the Building .and the Project which Landlord shall pay during any Expense Year, including, but not limited to, the costs of water, sewer and electricity, and the costs of HVAC (including, the cost of electricity to operate the HVAC air handlers) and other utilities (but excluding (i) the cost of electricity consumed in the Premises and the premises of other tenants of the Building, the Adjacent Building and any other buildings in the Project (since Tenant is separately paying for the cost of electricity pursuant to Section 6.1.2 below) and (ii) those charges for which tenants directly reimburse Landlord or otherwise pay directly to the utility company) as well as related fees, assessments and surcharge. Utilities Costs shall be calculated assuming the Buildings (and during the period of time when any other office buildings are fully constructed and ready for occupancy and are included by Landlord within the Project), are at least [***] percent ([***]%) occupied. If, during all or any part of any Expense Year, Landlord shall not provide any utilities other than gas and electricity (the cost of which, if provided by Landlord, would be included in Utilities Costs) to a tenant (including Tenant) who has undertaken to provide the same instead of Landlord, Utilities Costs shall be deemed to be increased by an amount equal m the additional Utilities Coats which would reasonably have been incurred during such period by Landlord if Landlord had at its own expense provided such utilities to such tenant Utilities Costs shall include any costs of utilities which arc allocated to the Real Property under any declaration, restrictive covenant, or other instrument pertaining to the sharing of costs by the Real Property or any portion thereof, including any covenants, conditions or restrictions now or hereafter recorded against or affecting the Real Property. For purposes of determining Utilities Costs Incurred for the Utilities Base Year, Utilities Costs for the Utilities Base Year shall not include any one time special charges, costs or fee or extraordinary charges or costs incurred in the Utilities Base Year only, including those attributable to boycotts, , embargoes, strikes or other shortages of services or fuel. In addition, If in any Expense Year subsequent to the Utilities Base Year, the amount of Utilities Costs decreases due to a reduction in the cost of providing utilities to the Real Property for any reason, including without limitation, because of deregulation of the utility industry and/or reduction in rata achieved in contracts with utilities providers, then for purpose of the Expense Year in which such decrease in Utilities Costs occurred and all subsequent Expense Years, the Utilities Costs for the Utilities Base Year shall be decreased by an amount equal to such decrease.
4.3 Calculation and Payment of Additional Rent.
4.3.1 Calculation of Excess. If for any Expense Year ending or commencing within the Lease Term, (i) Tenant's Share of Operating Expense allocated to the Building pursuant to Section 4.3.4 below for such Expense Year exceeds Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses allocated to the Building for the Expense Base Year and/or (ii) Tenant's Share of Tax Expenses allocated to the Building pursuant to Section 4.3.4 below for such Expense Year exceeds Tenant's Share of Tax Expenses allocated to the Building for the Tax Expense Base Year, and/or (iii) Tenant's Share of Utilities Costs allocated to the Building pursuant to Section 4.3.4 below for such Expense Year exceeds Tenant's Share of Utilities Costs allocated to the Building for the Utilities Base Year, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in the manner set forth in Section 4.3.2, below, and as Additional Rent, an amount equal to such excess (the "Excess").
4.3.2 Statement of Estimated Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs. In addition, Landlord shall endeavor to give Tenant a yearly expense estimate statement (the
[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.
14
"Estimate Statement") which shall set forth, in reasonable detail, Landlord's reasonable estimate (the "Estimate") of what the total amount of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs allocated to the Building pursuant to Section 4.3.4 below for the then-current Expense Year shall be and the estimated Excess (the "Estimated Excess") as calculated by comparing (i) Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses allocated to the Building, which shall be based upon the Estimate, to Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses allocated to the Building for the Expense Base Year, (ii) Tenant's Share of Tax Expenses allocated o the Building, which shall be based upon the Estimate, to Tenant's Share of Tax Expenses allocated to the Building for the Tax Expense Base Year, and (iii) Tenant's Share of Utilities Costs allocated to the Building, which shall be based upon the Estimate, to Tenant's Share of Utilities Costs allocated to the Building for the Utilities Base Year. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Estimate Statement for any Expense Year shall not preclude Landlord from enforcing its rights to collect any Estimated Excess under this Article 4. If pursuant to the Estimate Statement an Estimated Excess is calculated for the then-current Expense Year, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Base Rent due, a fraction of the Estimated Excess for the then-current Expense Year (reduced by any amounts paid pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 4.33). Such fraction shall have as its numerator the number of months which have elapsed in such current Expense Year to the month of such payment, both months inclusive, and shall have twelve (12) as its denominator. Until a new Estimate Statement is furnished, Tenant shall pay monthly, with the monthly Base Rent installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the total Estimated Excess set forth in the previous Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant.
4.3.3 Allocation of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs to Building. The parties acknowledge that when constructed, the Building will be a part of a multi-office building project consisting of the Buildings and the Adjacent Building (if and when constructed) and such other buildings as Landlord may elect to construct and include as part of the Real Property from time to time (collectively, the "Other Buildings"), and that certain of the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Real Property (i.e. the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs) shall be shared among the Buildings and/or such Other Buildings, while certain other costs and expenses which are solely attributable to the Building, Building II and such Other Buildings, as applicable, shall be allocated directly to the Building, Building II and the Other Buildings, respectively. Accordingly, as set forth in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 above, Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs are determined annually for the Real Property as a whole, and a portion of the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs, which portion shall be determined by Landlord on an equitable basis, shall be allocated to the Building (as opposed to the tenants of Building II and the Other Buildings), and such portion so allocated shall be the amount of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs payable with respect to the Building upon which Tenant's Share shall be calculated. Such portion of the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs allocated to the Building shall include all Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs which are attributable solely to the Building, and an equitable portion of the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs attributable to the Real Property as a whole. As an example of such allocation with respect to Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs, it is anticipated that Landlord may receive separate tax bills which separately assess the Improvements component of Tax Expenses for each building in the Project and/or Landlord may receive separate utilities bills from the utilities companies identifying the Utilities Costs for certain of the utilities costs directly incurred by each such building (as measured by separate meters installed for each such building), and such separately assessed Tax Expenses and separately metered Utilities Costs shall be calculated for and allocated separately to each such applicable building. In addition, in the event Landlord elects, at its sole option, to subdivide certain common area portions of the Real Property such as landscaping, public and private streets, driveways, walkways, courtyards, plazas, transportation facilitation areas, accessways and/or parking areas into
15
a separate parcel or parcels of land (and/or separately convey all or any of such parcels to a common area association to own, operate and/or maintain same), the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs for such common area parcels of land may be aggregated and then reasonably allocated by Landlord to the Building, Building II and such Other Buildings on an equitable basis as Landlord (and/or any applicable covenants, conditions and restrictions for any such common area association) shall provide from time to time.
4.3.4 Payment in Installments. All assessments and premiums which are not specifically charged to Tenant because of what Tenant has done, which can be paid by Landlord in installments without the imposition of fees, penalties or interest, shall be paid by Landlord in the maximum number of installments that are permitted by law without the imposition of fees, penalties or interest and not included as Operating Expenses except in the Expense Year in which the assessment or premium installment is actually paid; provided, however, that if the prevailing practice in buildings comparable to the Building in the Central San Diego County area is to pay such assessments or premiums on an earlier basis, and Landlord pays on such earlier basis, such assessments or premiums shall be included in Operating Expenses in the Calendar Year that such assessments or premiums are paid by Landlord.
4.4 Taxes and Other Charges for Which Tenant Is Directly Responsible. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for any and all taxes or assessments required to be paid by Landlord (except to the extent included in Tax Expenses by Landlord), excluding state, local and federal personal or corporate income taxes measured by the net income of Landlord from all sources and estate and inheritance taxes, whether or not now customary or within the contemplation of the parties hereto, when:
4.4.1 said taxes are measured by or reasonably attributable to the cost or value of Tenant's equipment, furniture, fixtures and other personal property located in the Premises, or by the cost or value of any leasehold improvements made in or to the Premises by or for Tenant, to the extent the cost or value of such leasehold improvements exceeds the cost or value of a building standard build-out as determined by Landlord regardless of whether title to such improvements shall be vested in Tenant or Landlord;
4.4.2 said taxes ere assessed upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion of the Real Property (including the Parking Facilities); or
4.4.3 said taxes are assessed upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises.
4.5 Late Charges. If any installment of Rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord's designee by the due date therefor, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to [***] percent ([***]%) of the amount due plus any attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant's failure to pay Rent and/or other charges when due hereunder. The late charge shall be deemed Additional Rent and the right to require it shall be in addition to all of Landlord's other rights and remedies hereunder, at law and/or in equity and shall not be construed as liquidated damages or as limiting Landlord's remedies in any manner. In addition to the late charge described above, any Rent or other amounts owing hereunder which are not paid by the date that they are due shall thereafter bear interest until paid at a rate (the "Interest Rate") equal to the lesser of (i) the "Prime Rate" or "Reference Rate" announced from time to time by the Bank of America (or such reasonable comparable national banking institution as selected by Landlord in the event Bank of America ceases to exist or publish a Prime Rate or Reference Rate), plus [***] percent ([***]%), or (ii) the highest rate permitted by applicable law.
4.6 Audit Rights. In the event Tenant disputes the amount of the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and/or Utilities Costs set forth in the Statement for the particular calendar year delivered by
[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.
16
Landlord to Tenant pursuant to Section 4.3.2 above, Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant's cost, after reasonable notice to Landlord, to have Tenant's authorized employees or agents inspect, at Landlord's office during normal business hours, Landlord's books, records and supporting documents concerning the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and/or Utilities Costs set forth in such Statement; provided, however, Tenant shall have no right to conduct such inspection, have an audit performed by the Accountant as described below, or object to or otherwise dispute the amount of the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs set forth in any such Statement, unless Tenant notifies Landlord of such objection and dispute, completes such inspection, and has the Accountant commence and complete such audit within twelve (12) months immediately following Landlord's delivery of the particular Statement in question (the "Review Period"); provided, further, that notwithstanding any such timely objection, dispute, inspection, and/or audit, and as a condition precedent to Tenant's exercise of its right of objection, dispute, inspection and/or audit as set forth in this Section 4.6, Tenant shall not be permitted to withhold payment of, and Tenant shall timely pay to Landlord, the full amounts as required by the provisions of this Article 4 in accordance with such Statement. However, such payment may be made under protest pending the outcome of any audit which may be performed by the Accountant as described below. In connection with any such inspection by Tenant, Landlord and Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with each other so that such inspection can be performed pursuant to a mutually acceptable schedule, in an expeditious manner and without undue interference with Landlord's operation and management of the building. If after such inspection and/or request for documentation, Tenant still disputes the amount of the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and/or Utilities Costs set forth in the Statement, Tenant shall have the right, within the Review Period, to cause an independent certified public accountant which is not paid on a contingency basis and which is mutually approved by Landlord and Tenant (the "Accountant") to complete an audit of Landlord's books and records pertaining to Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and/or Utilities Costs to determine the proper amount of the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and/or Utilities Costa incurred and amounts payable by Tenant for the calendar year which is the subject of such Statement. Such audit by the Accountant shall be final and binding upon Landlord and Tenant. If Landlord and Tenant cannot mutually agree as to the identity of the Accountant within thirty (30) days after Tenant notifies Landlord that Tenant desires an audit to be performed, then the Accountant shall be one of the "Big 4" accounting firms, which is not paid on a contingency basis and which is selected by Tenant and reasonably approved by Landlord. If such audit reveals that Landlord has over-charged Tenant, then within thirty (30) days after the results of such audit are made available to Landlord, Landlord shall reimburse to Tenant the amount of such over-charge. If the audit reveals that the Tenant was under-charged, then within thirty (30) days after the results of such audit are made available to Tenant, Tenant shall reimburse to Landlord the amount of such under-charge. Tenant agrees to pay the cost of such audit unless it is subsequently determined that Landlord's original Statement which was the subject of such audit was in error to Tenant's disadvantage by seven percent (7%) or more of the total Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and/or Utilities Costs which was the subject of such audit. The payment by Tenant of any amounts pursuant to this Article 4 shall not preclude Tenant from questioning the correctness of any Statement provided by Landlord at any time during the Review Period, but the failure of Tenant to object thereto, conduct and complete its inspection and have the Accountant conduct and complete the audit as described above prior to the expiration of the Review Period shall be conclusively deemed Tenant's approval of the Statement in question and the amount of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs shown thereon. In connection with any inspection and/or audit conducted by Tenant pursuant to this Section 4.6, Tenant agrees to keep, and to cause all of Tenant's employees and consultants and the Accountant to keep, all of Landlord's books and records and the audit, and all information pertaining thereto and the results thereof, strictly confidential, and in connection therewith, Tenant shall cause such employees, consultants and the Accountant to execute such reasonable confidentiality agreements as Landlord may require prior to conducting any such inspections and/or audits.
17
Tenant shall use the Premises solely for general office purposes consistent with the character of the Building as a first class office building, and Tenant shall not use or permit the Premises to be used for any other purpose or purposes whatsoever. Tenant further covenants and agrees that it shall not use, or suffer or permit any person or persons to use, the Premises or any part thereof for any use or purpose contrary to the provisions of Exhibit D, attached hereto, or in violation of the laws, ordinances, codes, statutes, rules or regulations of the United States of America, the state in which the Real Property is located, or the ordinances, regulations or requirements of the local' municipal or county governing body or other governmental or quasi-governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Real Property (collectively, "Laws"). Tenant shall comply with all recorded covenants, condition, and restrictions, and the provisions of all ground or underlying leases, now or hereafter affecting the Real Property. Tenant shall not use or allow another person or entity to use any part of the Premises for the storage, use, treatment, manufacture or sale of "Hazardous Material," as that term is defined below. As used herein, the term "Hazardous Material" means any hazardous or toxic substance, material or waste which is or becomes regulated by any local governmental authority, the state in which the Real Property is located or the United States Government.

Landlord's approval of the plans, specifications and working drawings for Tenant's Alterations shall create no responsibility or liability on the part of Landlord for their completeness, design sufficiency, or compliance with all laws, rules and regulations of governmental agencies or authorities. All work with respect to any Alterations must be done in a good and workmanlike manner and diligently prosecuted to completion to the end that the Premises shall at all times be a complete unit except during the period of work.

In addition, Landlord may, in its discretion, require Tenant to obtain a lien and completion bond or some alternate form of security satisfactory to Landlord in an amount sufficient to ensure the lien-free completion of such Alterations and naming Landlord as a co-obligee. Upon completion of any Alterations, Tenant shall (i) cause a Notice of Completion to be recorded in the office of the Recorder of the county in which the Real Property is located in accordance with Section 3093 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any successor statute, (ii) deliver to the management office of the Real Property a reproducible copy of the "as built" drawings of the Alterations, and (iii) deliver to Landlord evidence of payment, contractors' affidavits and full and final waivers of all liens for labor, services or materials.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, if any such lien is not released and removed on or before the date notice of such lien is delivered by Landlord to Tenant, Landlord, at its sole option, may immediately take all action necessary to release and remove such lien, without any duty to investigate the validity thereof, and all sums, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, incurred by Landlord in connection with such lien shall be deemed Additional Rent under this Lease and shall immediately be due and payable by Tenant.
ARTICLE 10
INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE
10.1 Indemnification and Waiver. Tenant hereby assumes all risk of damage to property and injury to person, in, on, or about the Premises from any cause whatsoever and agrees that Landlord, and its partners and subpartners, and their respective officers, agents, property managers, servants, employees, and independent contractors (collectively, "Landlord Parties") shall not be liable for, and are hereby released from any responsibility for, any damage to property or injury to persons or resulting from the loss of use thereof, which damage or injury is sustained by Tenant or by other persons claiming through Tenant. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless the Landlord Parties from any and all loss, cost, damage, expense and liability, including without limitation court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees (collectively, "Claims") incurred in connection with or arising from any cause in, on or about the Premises (including, without limitation, Tenant's installation, placement and removal of Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment in, on or about the Premises), and any acts, omissions or negligence of Tenant or of any person claiming by, through or under Tenant, or of the contractors, agents, servants, employees, licensees or invitees of Tenant or any such person, in, on or about the Premises, the Building and Real Property.

22
Tenant and Tenant's officers, agents and employees (collectively, "Tenant Parties") from and against any such Excluded Claims, but only to the extent Landlord's liability is not waived and released by Tenant pursuant to the terms of Section 10.4 of this Lease (provided, however, that Landlord's indemnity shall, in no event, extend to loss of profits, loss of business and other consequential damages incurred by Tenant or any Tenant Parties). Each party's agreement to indemnify the other pursuant to this Section 10.1 is not intended and shall not relieve any insurance carrier of its obligations under policies required to be carried by the indemnifying party pursuant to the provisions of this Lease. The provisions of this Section 10.1 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.
10.2 Tenant's Compliance with Landlord's Fire and Casualty Insurance. Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, comply as to the Premises with all insurance company requirements pertaining to the use of the Premises. If Tenant's conduct or use of the Premises causes any increase in the premium for such insurance policies, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any such increase. Tenant; at Tenant's expense, shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations or requirements of the American Insurance Association (formerly the National Board of Fire Underwriters) and with any similar body.
10.3 Tenant's Insurance. Tenant shall maintain the following coverages in the following amounts.
10.3.1 Commercial General Liability Insurance covering the insured against claims of bodily injury, personal Injury and property damage arising out of Tenant's operations, assumed liabilities or use of the Premises, including a Broad Form Commercial General Liability endorsement covering the insuring provisions of this Lease and the performance by Tenant of the indemnity agreements set forth in Section 10.1 of this Lease, (and with owned and non-owned automobile liability coverage, and liquor liability coverage in the event alcoholic beverages are served on the Premises) for limits of liability not less than:
Bodily Injury and |
$3,000,000 each occurrence $3,000,000 annual aggregate |

Personal Injury Liability |
$3,000,000 each occurrence |
10.3.2 Physical Damage Insurance covering (i) all office furniture, trade fixtures, office equipment, merchandise and all other items of Tenant's property on the Premises installed by, for, or at the expense of Tenant, (ii) the Tenant Improvements, including any Tenant Improvements which Landlord permits to be installed above the ceiling of the Premises or below the floor of the Premises, and (iii) all other improvements, alterations and additions to the Premises, including any improvements, alterations or additions installed at Tenant's request above the ceiling of the Premises or below the floor of the Premises. Such insurance shall be written on a "physical loss or damage" basis under a "special form" policy, for the full replacement cost value new without deduction for depreciation of the covered items and in amounts that meet any co-insurance clauses of the policies of insurance and shall include a vandalism and malicious mischief endorsement, sprinkler leakage coverage and earthquake sprinkler leakage coverage.
10.3.3 Workers' compensation insurance as required by law.
10.3.4 Intentionally Omitted.
10.3.5 Intentionally Omitted.
10.3.6 The minimum limits of policies of insurance required of Tenant under this Lease shall in no event limit the liability of Tenant under this Lease. Such insurance shall: (i) name Landlord, and any other party it so specifies, as an additional insured; (ii) specifically cover the liability assumed by Tenant under this Lease, including, but not limited to, Tenant's obligations under
23
Section 10.1 of this Lease; (iii) be issued by an insurance company having a rating of not less than A-X in Best's Insurance Guide or which is otherwise acceptable to Landlord and licensed to do business in the state in which the Real Property is located; (iv) be primary insurance as to all claims thereunder and provide that any insurance carried by Landlord is excess and is non-contributing with any insurance requirement of Tenant; (v) provide that said insurance shall not be canceled or coverage changed unless thirty (30) days' prior written notice shall have been given to Landlord and any mortgagee or ground or underlying lessor of Landlord; (vi) contain a cross-liability endorsement or severability of interest clause acceptable to Landlord; and (vii) with respect to the insurance required in Sections 10.3.1 and 10.3.2 above, have deductible amounts not exceeding Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00). Tenant shall deliver said policy or policies or certificates thereof to Landlord on or before the Lease Commencement Date and at least thirty (30) days before the expiration dates thereof. If Tenant shall fail to procure such insurance, or to deliver such policies or certificate, within such time periods, Landlord may, at its option, in addition to all of its other rights and remedies under this Lease, and without regard to any notice and cure periods set forth in Section 19.1, procure such policies for the account of Tenant, and the cost thereof shall be paid to Landlord as Additional Rent within ten (10) days after delivery of bills therefor.
10.4 Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant agree to have their respective insurance companies issuing property damage insurance waive any rights of subrogation that such companies may have against Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, so long as the insurance carried by Landlord and Tenant, respectively, is not invalidated thereby. As long as such waivers of subrogation are contained in their respective insurance policies, Landlord and Tenant hereby waive any right that either may have against the other on account of any loss or damage to their respective property to the extent such loss or damage is insurable under policies of insurance for fire and all risk coverage, theft, public liability, or other similar insurance.
ARTICLE 11
DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION
11.1 Repair of Damage to Premises by Landlord. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any damage to the Premises resulting from fire or any other casualty. If the Premises or any common areas of the Building or Real Property serving or providing access to the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustment or other matters beyond Landlord's reasonable control, and subject to all other terms of this Article 11, restore the base, shell, and core of the Premises and such common areas. Such restoration shall be to substantially the same condition of the base, shell, and core of the Premises and common areas prior to the casualty, except for modifications required by zoning and building codes and other laws or by the holder of a mortgage on the Real Property, or the lessor of a ground or underlying lease with respect to the Real Property and/or the Building, or any other modifications to the common areas deemed desirable by Landlord, provided access to the Premises and any common restrooms serving the Premises shall not be materially impaired. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, upon the occurrence of any damage to the Premises, Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or to any party designated by Landlord) all insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant's insurance required under Section 10.3 of this Lease, and Landlord shall repair any injury or damage to the tenant improvements and alterations installed in the Premises and shall return such tenant improvements and alterations to their original condition; provided that if the cost of such repair by Landlord exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord from Tenant's insurance carrier, as assigned by Tenant, the cost of such repairs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord prior to Landlord's repair of the damage. In connection with such repairs and replacements, Tenant shall, prior to the commencement of construction, submit to Landlord, for Landlord's review and approval, all plans, specifications and
24
working drawings relating thereto, and Landlord shall select the contractors to perform such improvement work. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or its visitors, or injury to Tenant's business resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof, provided however, that if such fire or other casualty shall have damaged the Premises or common areas necessary to Tenant's occupancy, and if such damage is not the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant's employees, contractors, licensees, or invitees, Landlord shall allow Tenant a proportionate abatement of Base Rent and Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy, for the purposes permitted under this Lease, and not occupied by Tenant as a result thereof.
11.2 Termination Rights. Within sixty (60) days after Landlord becomes aware of such damage, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing ("Landlord's Damage Notice") of the estimated time, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, required to substantially complete the repairs of such damage (the "Estimated Repair Period"). Notwithstanding the terms of Section 11.1 above, Landlord may elect not to rebuild and/or restore the Premises and/or Building and instead terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within sixty (60) days after the date of damage, such notice to include a termination date giving Tenant ninety (90) days to vacate the Premises, but Landlord may so elect only if the Building than be damaged by fire or other casualty or cause, whether or not the Premises are affected, and one or more of the following conditions is present: (i) repairs cannot, in Landlord's opinion, as set forth in Landlord's Damage Notice, reasonably be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date of damage (when such repairs are made without the payment of overtime or other premiums); or (ii) the damage is not fully covered, except for deductible amounts, by Landlord's insurance policies; provided, however, that (A) if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to Landlord's termination right as provided above, (B) the damage constitutes a Tenant Damage Event (as defined below), and (C) the repair of such damage cannot, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, as set forth in Landlord's Damage Notice, be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of the damage, then Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice thereof to Landlord within ten (10) days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's Damage Notice, which termination shall be effective as of the date of such termination notice thereof to Landlord. As used herein, a "Tenant Damage Event" shall mean damage to all or any part of the Premises or any common areas of the Building providing access to the Premises by fire or other casualty, which damage is not the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any of Tenant's employees, agents, contractors or licensees, and which damage substantially interferes with Tenant's use of or access to the Premises and would entitle Tenant to an abatement of Rent pursuant to Section 11.1 above. In addition, in the event of a Tenant Damage Event, and if neither Landlord nor Tenant has elected to terminate this Lease as provided hereinabove, but Landlord fails to substantially complete the repair and restoration of such Tenant Damage Event within the Estimated Repair Period plus sixty (60) days plus the number of days of delay, if any, attributable to events of "Force Majeure," as that term is defined in Section 24.17 hereof (but in no event to exceed thirty (30) days of Force Majeure delays), plus the number of days of delay, if any, as are attributable to the acts or omissions of Tenant, then Tenant shall have an additional right to terminate this Lease by delivering written termination notice to Landlord within ten (10) days after the expiration of such period, which termination shall be effective as of the date of such termination notice. Further, in the event that the Premises or the Building is destroyed or damaged to any substantial extent during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term, then notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 11, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease and to the extent such destruction or damage constitutes a Tenant Damage Event and the repair of same is reasonable expected by Landlord to require more than sixty (60) days to complete, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease, by giving written termination notice to the other party of the exercise of such option within thirty (30) days after the date of such damage or destruction. If either Landlord or Tenant exercises any of its options to terminate this Lease as provided hereinabove, (1) this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of
25
such notice, (2) Tenant shall pay the Base Rent and Additional Rent, properly apportioned up to such date of termination, and (3) both parties hereto shall thereafter be freed and discharged of all further obligations hereunder, except as provided for in provisions of this Lease which by their terms survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
11.3 Waiver of Statutory Provisions. The provisions of this Lease, including this Article 11, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the Premises, the Building or any other portion of the Real Property, and any statute or regulation of the state in which the Real Property is located, including, without limitation, Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) of the California Civil Code, with respect to any rights or obligations concerning damage or destruction in the absence of an express agreement between the parties, and any other statute or regulation, now or hereafter in effect, shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of the Premises, the Building or any other portion of the Real Property.
12.1 Permanent Taking. If the whole or any part of the Premises, Building or Real Property shall be taken by power of eminent domain or condemned by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or if any adjacent property or street shall be so taken or condemned, or reconfigured or vacated by such authority in such manner as to require the use, reconstruction or remodeling of any part of the Premises, Building or Real Property, or if Landlord shall grant a deed or other instrument in lieu of such taking by eminent domain or condemnation, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon ninety (90) days' notice, provided such notice is given no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such taking, condemnation, reconfiguration, vacation, deed or other instrument. If more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the rentable square feet of the Premises is taken, or if access to the Premises is substantially impaired, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon ninety (90) days' notice, provided such notice is given no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such taking. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award or payment in connection therewith, except that Tenant shall have the right to file any separate claim available to Tenant for any taking of Tenant's personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant and removable by Tenant upon expiration of the Lease Term pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and for moving expenses, so long as such claim does not diminish the award available to Landlord, its ground lessor with respect to the Real Property or its mortgagee, and such claim is payable separately to Tenant. All Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination, or the date of such taking, whichever shall first occur. If any part of the Premises shall be taken, and this Lease shall not be so terminated, the Base Rent and Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs shall be proportionately abated. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it might otherwise have pursuant to Section 1265.130 of The California Code of Civil Procedure
12.2 Temporary Taking. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 12, in the event of a temporary taking of all or any portion of the Premises for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days or less, then this Lease shall not terminate but the Base Rent and Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs shall be abated for the period of such taking in proportion to the ratio that the amount of rentable square feet of the Premises taken bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award made in connection with any such temporary taking.
26
ARTICLE 13
COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT
Landlord covenants that Tenant, on paying the Rent, charges for services and other payments herein reserved and on keeping, observing and performing all the other terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements herein contained on the part of Tenant to be kept, observed and performed, shall, during the Lease Term, peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises subject to the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements hereof without interference. The foregoing covenant is in lieu of any other covenant express or implied.
ARTICLE 14
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
14.1 Transfers. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, or permit any lien to attach to, or otherwise transfer, this Lease or any interest hereunder, permit any assignment or other such foregoing transfer of this Lease or any interest hereunder by operation of law, sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use of the Premises by any persons other than Tenant and its employees (all of the foregoing are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as "Transfers" and any person to whom any Transfer is made or sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes referred to as a "Transferee"). If Tenant shall desire Landlord's consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing, which notice (the "Transfer Notice") shall include (i) the proposed effective date of the Transfer, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of delivery of the Transfer Notice, (ii) a description of the portion of the Premises to be transferred (the "Subject Space"), (iii) all of the terms of the proposed Transfer, the name and address of the proposed Transferee, and a copy of all existing and/or proposed documentation pertaining to the proposed Transfer, including all existing operative documents to be executed to evidence such Transfer or the agreements incidental or related to such Transfer, (iv) if available, current financial statements of the proposed Transferee certified by an officer, partner or owner thereof, and (v) such other information as Landlord may reasonably require. Any Transfer made without Landlord's prior written consent shall, at Landlord's option, be null, void and of no effect, and shall, at Landlord's option, constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease. Whether or not Landlord shall grant consent, within thirty, (30) days after written request by Landlord, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any actual, documented and reasonable legal fees incurred by Landlord in connection with Tenant's proposed Transfer (not to exceed [***]).
14.2 Landlord's Consent. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its content to any proposed Transfer of the Subject Space to the Transferee on the terms specified in the Transfer Notice. The parties hereby agree that it shall be reasonable under this Lease and under any applicable law for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer where one or more of the following apply, without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent;
14.2.1 The Transferee is of a character or reputation or engaged in a business which is not consistent with the quality of the Building or Real Property;
14.2.2 The Transferee intends to use the Subject Space for purposes which are not permitted under this Lease;
14.2.3 The Transferee is either a governmental agency or instrumentality thereof;
14.2.4 The Transfer will result in more than a reasonable and safe number of occupants per floor within the Subject Space;
[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.
27
14.2.5 The Transferee is not a party of reasonable financial worth and/or financial stability in light of the responsibilities imposed by the Transfer on the date consent is requested;
14.2.6 The proposed Transfer would cause Landlord to be in violation of another lease or agreement to which Landlord is a party, or would give an occupant of the Real Property a right to cancel its lease;
14.2.7 The terms of the proposed Transfer will allow the Transferee to exercise a right of renewal, right of expansion, right of first offer, or other similar right held by Tenant (or will allow the Transferee to occupy space leased by Tenant pursuant to any such right); or
14.2.8 Either the proposed Transferee, or any person or entity which directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the proposed Transferee, (i) occupies space in the Project at the time of the request for consent, (ii) is negotiating with Landlord to lease space in the Project at such time, or (iii) has negotiated with Landlord during the twelve (12)-month period immediately preceding the Transfer Notice.
If Landlord consents to any Transfer pursuant to the terms of this Section 14.2 (and does not exercise any recapture rights Landlord may have under Section 14.4 of this Lease), Tenant may within six (6) months after Landlord's consent, but not later than the expiration of said six-month period, enter into such Transfer of the Premises or portion thereof, upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Transfer Notice furnished by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Section 14.1 of this Lease, provided that if there are any changes in the terms and conditions from those specified in the Transfer Notice (i) such that Landlord would initially have been entitled to refuse its consent to such Transfer under this Section 14.2, or (ii) which would cause the proposed Transfer to be more favorable to the Transferee than the terms set forth in Tenant's original Transfer Notice, Tenant shall again submit the Transfer to Landlord for its approval and other action under this Article 14 (including Landlord's right of recapture, if any, under Section 14.4 of this Lease).
14.3 Transfer Premium. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, as a condition thereto which the parties hereby agree is reasonable, Tenant shall pay to Landlord [***] percent of ([***]%) of any "Transfer Premium," as that term is defined in this Section 14.3, received by Tenant from such Transferee. "Transfer Premium" shall mean all rent, additional rent or other consideration payable by such Transferee in excess of the Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease on a per rentable square foot basis if less than all of the Premises is transferred, after deducting the reasonable expenses incurred by Tenant for (i) any reasonable changes, alterations and improvements to the Premises in connection with the Transfer (but only to the extent approved by Landlord), and (ii) any reasonable brokerage commissions in connection with the Transfer (collectively, the "Subleasing Costs"). "Transfer Premium" shall also Include, but not be limited to, key money and bonus money paid by Transferee to Tenant in connection with such Transfer, and any payment in excess of fair market value for services rendered by Tenant to Transferee or for assets, fixtures, inventory, equipment, or furniture transferred by Tenant to Transferee in connection with such Transfer.
14.4 Landlord's Option as to Subject Space. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14, in the event Tenant contemplates an assignment or subletting of all or a portion of the Premises, Tenant shall give Landlord notice (the "Intention to Transfer Notice") of such contemplated assignment or subletting (whether or not the terms of the contemplated assignment or subletting have been determined). The Intention to Transfer Notice shall specify the portion of and amount of rentable square feet of the Premises which Tenant intends to assign or sublet (the "Contemplated Transfer Space"), the contemplated date of commencement of the contemplated assignment or subletting (the "Contemplated Effective Date"), and the contemplated length of the term of such contemplated subletting or assignment, and shall specify that such Intention to Transfer Notice is delivered to Landlord pursuant to this Section 14.4 in order to allow Landlord to elect to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space for the term ad forth in the Intention to Transfer Notice. Thereafter,
[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.
28
Landlord shall have the option, by giving written notice to Tenant within twenty (20) days after receipt of any Intention to Transfer Notice, to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space. Such recapture notice shall cancel and terminate this Lease with respect to such Contemplated Transfer Space as of the Contemplated Effective Date until the last day of the term of the contemplated assignment or subletting as set forth in the Intention to Transfer Notice. In the event of a recapture by Landlord, if this Lease shall be canceled with respect to less than the entire Premises, the Rent reserved herein shall be prorated on the basis of the number of rentable square feet retained by Tenant in proportion to the number of rentable square feet contained in the Premises, and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect, and upon request of either party, the parties shall execute written confirmation of the same. If Landlord declines, or fails to elect in a timely manner, to recapture such Contemplated Transfer Space under this Section 14.4, then, subject to the other terms of this Article 14, for a period of six (6) months (the "Six Month Period") commencing on the last day of such thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall not have any right to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space with respect to any assignment or subletting made during the Six Month Period, provided that any such assignment or subletting is substantially on the terms set forth in the Intention to Transfer Notice, and provided further that any such assignment or subletting shall be subject to the remaining terms of this Article 14. If such an assignment or subletting is not so consummated within the Six Month Period, (or if an assignment or subletting is so consummated, then upon the expiration of the term of any assignment or subletting of such Contemplated Transfer Space consummated within such Six Month Period), Tenant shall again be required to submit a new Intention to Transfer Notice to Landlord with respect any contemplated assignment or subletting, as provided above in this Section 14.4.
14.5 Effect of Transfer. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, (i) the terms and conditions of this Lease shall in no way be deemed to have been waived or modified, (ii) such consent shall not be deemed consent to any further Transfer by either Tenant or a Transferee, (iii) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, promptly after execution, an original executed copy of all documentation pertaining to the transfer in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and (iv) no Transfer relating to this Lease or agreement entered into with respect thereto, whether with or without Landlord's consent, shall relieve Tenant or any guarantor of the Lease from liability under this Lease. Landlord or its authorized representatives shall have the right at all reasonable times to audit the books, records and papers of Tenant relating to any Transfer, and shall have the right, at Landlord 's expense, to male copies thereof. If the Transfer Premium respecting any Transfer shall be found understated by more than five percent (5%) of the actual Transfer Premium as determined pursuant to the audit, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after demand, pay the deficiency and Landlord's costs of such audit.
14.6 Additional Transfers. Except as otherwise provided in Section 14.7 below, for purposes of this Lease, the term "Transfer" shall also include (i) if Tenant is a partnership, the withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, of fifty percent (50%) or more of the partners, or transfer of twenty-five percent or more of partnership interests, within a twelve (12)-month period, or the dissolution of the partnership without immediate reconstitution thereof, and (ii) if Tenant is a closely held corporation (i.e., whose stock is not publicly held and not traded through an exchange or over the counter), (A) the dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant, (B) the sale or other transfer of more than an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) of the voting shares of Tenant (other than to immediate family members by reason of gift or death), within a twelve (12)-month period, or (C) the sale, mortgage, hypothecation or pledge of more than an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) of the value of the unencumbered assets of Tenant within a twelve (12) month period.
14.7 Affiliated Companies/Restructuring of Business Organization. The assignment or subletting by Tenant of all or any portion of this Lease or the Premises to (i) a parent or subsidiary, of Tenant, or (ii) any person or entity which controls, is controlled by or under common control with Tenant, or (iii) any entity which purchases all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, or (iv) any entity into
29
which Tenant is merged or consolidated (all such persons or entities described in (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) being sometimes hereinafter referred to as "Affiliates") shall not be deemed a Transfer under this Article 14 (and shall not entitle Landlord to exercise its recapture right pursuant to Section 14.4 above), provided that:
14.7.1 Any such Affiliate was not formed as a subterfuge to avoid the obligations of this Article 14;
14.7.2 Tenant gives Landlord prior written notice of any such assignment or sublease to an Affiliate;
14.7.3 Any such Affiliate that is an assignee of Tenant's entire interest in this Lease has, as of the effective date of any such assignment, a tangible net worth and net income, in the aggregate, computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (but excluding goodwill as an asset), which is sufficient to meet the obligations imposed by the assignment;
14.7.4 Any such assignment or sublease shall be subject to all of the terms and provisions of this Lease, and such assignee or sublessee shall assume, in a written document reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and delivered to Landlord upon or prior to the affective date of such assignment or sublease, all the obligations of Tenant under this Lease; and
14.7.5 Tenant and any guarantor shall remain fully liable for all obligations to be performed by Tenant under this Lease.
ARTICLE 15
SURRENDER; OWNERSHIP AND REMOVAL OF TRADE FIXTURES
15.1 Surrender of Premises. No act or thing done by Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord during the Lease Term shall be deemed to constitute an acceptance by Landlord of a surrender of the Premises unless such intent is specifically acknowledged in a writing signed by Landlord. The delivery of keys to the Premises to Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord shall not constitute a surrender of the Premises or effect a termination of this Lease, whether or not the keys are thereafter retained by Landlord, and notwithstanding such delivery Tenant shall be entitled to the return of such keys at any reasonable time upon request until this Lease shall have been properly terminated. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, whether accepted by Landlord or not, or a mutual termination hereof, shall not work a merger, and at the option of Landlord shall operate as an assignment to Landlord of all subleases or subtenancies affecting the Premises.
15.2 Removal of Tenant Property by Tenant. Upon the expiration of the Lease Term, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, subject to the provisions of this Article 15, quit and surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in as good order and condition as when Tenant took possession and as thereafter improved by landlord and/or Tenant, reasonable wear and tear and repairs which are specifically made the responsibility of Landlord hereunder excepted. Upon such expiration or termination, Tenant shall, without expense to Landlord, remove or cause to be removed from the Premises all debris and rubbish , and such items of furniture, equipment, free-standing cabinet work, and other articles of personal property owned by Tenant or installed or placed by Tenant at its expense in the Premises, and such similar articles of any other persons claiming under Tenant, as Landlord may, in its sole discretion, require to be removed, and Tenant shall repair at its own expense all damage to the Premises and Building resulting from such removal.
30
If Tenant holds over afar the expiration of the Lease Term hereof, with or without the express or implied consent of Landlord, such tenancy shall be from month-to-month only, and shall not constitute a renewal hereof or an extension for any further term, and in such case Base Rent shall be payable at a monthly rate equal to [***] percent ([***]%) of the Base Rent applicable during the last rental period of the Lease Term under this Lease. Such month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other term, covenant and agreement contained herein. Landlord hereby expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord as provided in this Lease upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease. The provisions of this Article 16 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein or at law. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) and liability resulting from such failure, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to surrender, and any lost profits to Landlord resulting therefrom. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Article 16 to the contrary, Tenant shall have the one-time right to extend the initial Lease Term for a period of up to three (3) months thereafter ("Temporary Extension Term") by delivering written notice of the exercise of such right at least three (3) months prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term, which notice shall specify the period of the Temporary Extension Term Tenant shall select (which period shall be not less than one (1) month nor more than three (3) months), and provided that all of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) Tenant shall not have exercised its renewal right under the Extension Option Rider, (ii) at Landlord's option, in addition to all remedies available to Landlord under this Lease, at law or in equity, Tenant is not in default under this Lease (after expiration of any applicable notice and cure period) as of the date Tenant delivers such notice to Landlord or the commencement of the Temporary Extension Term; and (iii) such renewal right is personal to the Original Tenant and any assignee that is an Affiliate of the Original Tenant's entire interest in this Lease pursuant to Section 14.7 of this Lease, and may only be exercised by the Original Tenant or such Affiliate assignee, as the case may be (and not by any other assignee, sublessee or other transferee of Original Tenant's interest in this Lease). If Tenant timely exercises such renewal right, all of the terms and conditions of this Lease shall apply during the Temporary Extension Term, provided, however, that (i) the monthly Base Rent payable by Tenant during the Temporary Extension Term shall be equal to [***] percent ([***]%) of monthly Base Rent applicable during the last rental period of the Lease Term, and (ii) Tenant shall reimburse to Landlord all actual, documented and reasonable legal fees and costs incurred in connection with the documentation of such Temporary Extension Term.
ARTICLE 17
ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES
Within ten (10) days following a request in writing by Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate, which, as submitted by Landlord, shall be in the form as may be required by any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of the Real Property (or any portion thereof), indicating therein any exceptions thereto that may exist at that time, and shall also contain any other information reasonably requested by Landlord or Landlord's mortgagee or prospective mortgagee. Tenant shall execute and deliver whatever other instruments may be reasonably required for such purposes. Failure of Tenant to timely execute and deliver such estoppel certificate or other instruments shall constitute an acceptance of the Premises and an acknowledgment by Tenant that statements included in the estoppel certificate are true and correct, without exception. Failure by Tenant to so deliver such estoppel certificate shall be a material default of the provisions of this Lease. In addition,
[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.
31
Tenant shall be liable to Landlord, and shall indemnify Landlord from and against any loss, cost, damage or expense, incidental, consequential, or otherwise, including attorneys' fees, arising or accruing directly or indirectly, from any failure of Tenant to execute or deliver to Landlord any such estoppel certificate.
18.1 Subordination. This Lease is subject and subordinate to all present and future ground or underlying leases of the Real Property and to the lien of any mortgages or trust deeds, now or hereafter in force against the Real Property, if any, and to all renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security of such mortgages or trust deeds, unless the holders of such mortgages or trust deeds, or the lessors under such ground lease or underlying leases, require in writing that this Lease be superior thereto. Tenant covenants and agrees in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any such mortgage, or if any ground or underlying lease is terminated, to attorn, without any deductions or set-offs whatsoever, to the purchaser upon any such foreclosure sale, or to the lessor of such ground or underlying lease, as the case may be, if so requested to do so by such purchaser or lessor and/or if required to do so pursuant to any SNDA executed by the Current Lender as defined in and pursuant to Section 18.2 below, and to recognize such purchaser or lessor as the lessor under this Lease.

Tenant waives the provisions of any current or future statute, rule or law which may give or purport to give Tenant any right or election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of the Tenant hereunder in the event of any foreclosure proceeding or sale.

Landlord shall endeavor to cause the Current Lender to execute, notarize and deliver to Tenant the SNDA, but Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease and shall have no liability to Tenant whatsoever if Landlord is unable to obtain and deliver to Tenant the SNDA executed by the Current Lender.
ARTICLE 19
TENANT'S DEFAULTS; LANDLORD'S REMEDIES
19.1 Events of Default by Tenant. All covenants and agreements to be kept or performed by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense and without any reduction of Rent. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default of this Lease by Tenant:
19.1.1 Any failure by Tenant to pay any Rent or any other charge required to be paid under this Lease, or any part thereof, when due where such failure continues for five (5) calendar days after written notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that any such notice shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 or any similar or successor law; or
32
19.1.2 Any failure by Tenant to observe or perform any other provision, covenant or condition of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant where such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof 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 or any similar or successor law; and provided further that if the nature of such default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within a thirty (30)-day period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if it diligently commences such cure within such period and thereafter diligently proceeds to rectify and cure said default as soon as possible; or
19.2 Landlord's Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of any such default by Tenant, Landlord shall have, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies, each and all of which shall be cumulative and nonexclusive, without any notice or demand whatsoever.
19.2.1 Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for possession or arrearages in rent, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim or damages therefor; and Landlord may recover from Tenant the following:
(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 that 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 Lease 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, specifically including but not limited to, brokerage commissions and advertising expenses incurred, expenses of remodeling the Premises of any portion thereof for a new tenant, whether for the same or a different use, and any special concessions made to obtain a new tenant; and
(v) At Landlords election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable law.
The term "rent" as used in this Section 19.2 shall be deemed to be and to mean all sums of every nature required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease , whether to Landlord or to others. As used in Sections 19.2.1(i) and (ii), above, the "worth at the time of award" shall be computed by allowing interest at the Interest Rate set forth in Section 4.5 of this Lease. As used in Section 19.2.1(iii) above, the "worth at the time of award" shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).
19.2.2 Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after lessee's breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). Accordingly, if landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any default by
33
Tenant, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease , including the right to recover all rent as it becomes due.
19.2.3 Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make any such payment or perform or otherwise cure any such obligation, provision, covenant or condition on Tenant's part to be observed or performed (and may enter the Promises for such purposes). In the event of Tenant's failure to perform any of its obligations or covenants under this Lease, and such failure to perform poses a material risk of injury or harm to persons or damage to or loss of property, then Landlord shall have the right to cure or otherwise perform such covenant or obligation at any time after such failure to perform by Tenant, whether or not any such notice or cure period set forth in Section 19.1 above has expired. Any such actions undertaken by Landlord pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 19.2.3 shall trot be deemed a waiver of Landlord 's rights and remedies as a result of Tenants failure to perform and shall not release Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease.
19.3 Payment by Tenant. Tenant shall pay to Landlord , within fifteen (15) days after delivery by Landlord to Tenant of statements therefor: (i) sums equal to expenditures reasonably made and obligations incurred by Landlord in connection with Landlord's performance or cure of any of Tenant's obligations pursuant to the provisions of Section 19.2.3 above; and (ii) sums equal to all expenditures made and obligations incurred by Landlord in collecting or attempting to collect the Rent or in enforcing or attempting to enforce any rights of Landlord under this Lease or pursuant to law, including, without limitation, all legal fees and other amounts so expended. Tenant's obligations under this Section 19.3 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term.
19.4 Sublessees of Tenant. Whether or not Landlord elects to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Tenant, as set forth in this Article 19, Landlord shall have the right to terminate any and all subleases, licenses, concessions or other consensual arrangements for possession entered into by Tenant and affecting the Premises or may, in Landlord's sole discretion, succeed to Tenant's interest in such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements. In the event of Landlord's election to succeed to Tenant's interest in any such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements, Tenant shall, as of the date of notice by Landlord of such election, have no further right to or interest in the rent or other consideration receivable thereunder.
19.5 Waiver of Default. No waiver by Landlord of any violation or breach by Tenant of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained shall be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any other or later violation or breach by Tenant of the same or any other of the terms, provisions, and covenants herein contained. Forbearance by Landlord in enforcement of one or more of the remedies herein provided upon a default by Tenant shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such default. The acceptance of any Rent hereunder by Landlord following the occurrence of any default, whether or not known to Landlord, shall not be deemed a waiver of any such default, except only a default in the payment of the Rent so accepted.
19.6 Efforts to Relet. For the purposes of this Article 19, Tenant's right to possession shall not be deemed to have been terminated by efforts of Landlord to relet the Premises, by its acts of maintenance or preservation with respect to the Premises, or by appointment of a receiver to protect Landlord's interests hereunder. The foregoing enumeration is not exhaustive, but merely illustrative of acts which may be performed by Landlord without terminating Tenant's right to possession.
19.7 Landlord Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, Landlord shall be in default in the performance of any obligation required to be performed by Landlord pursuant to this Lease if (i) in the event a failure by Landlord is with respect to the payment of money, Landlord fails to pay such unpaid amounts within ten (10) business days of written notice from Tenant that the same was not paid when due, or (ii) in the event a failure by Landlord is other than the obligation to pay money, Landlord fails to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after
34
the receipt of notice from Tenant specifying in detail Landlord's failure to perform; provided, however, 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 in default under this Lease if it shall promptly and diligently commence such performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursue the same to completion. Upon any such default by Landlord under this Lease, Tenant may, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease to the contrary, exercise any of its rights provided at law or in equity, but in no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any lost profits or other consequential damages as a result of such default.

Tenant shall pay to Landlord for the use of such parking passes, on a monthly basis, the prevailing rate charged from time to time by landlord or Landlord's parking operator for parking passes in the Parking Facilities where such parking passes are located. Tenant's continued right to use the parking passes is conditioned upon Tenant abiding by all rules and regulations which are prescribed from time to time for the orderly operation and use of the Parking Facilities and upon Tenant's cooperation in seeing that Tenant's employees and visitors also comply with such rules and regulations. In addition, Landlord may assign any parking spaces and/or make all or a portion of such spaces reserved or institute an attendant-assisted tandem parking program and/or valet parking program if Landlord determines in its sole discretion that such is necessary or desirable for orderly and efficient parking. Landlord specifically reserves the right, from time to time, to change the size, configuration, design, layout, location and all other aspects of the Parking Facilities, and Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord, from time to time, may, without incurring any liability to Tenant and without any abatement of Rent under this Lease temporarily close-off or restrict access to the Parking Facilities, or temporarily relocate Tenant's parking spaces to other parking structures and/or surface parking areas within a reasonable distance from the Parking Facilities, for purposes of permitting or facilitating any such construction, alteration or improvements or to accommodate or facilitate renovation, alteration, construction or other modification of other improvements or structures located on the Real Property.
