This
Lease date April 27, 1995, is made by and between The Richlar Partnership (a
California general partnership) (herein
called "Lessor") and Digital Domain (a New York General Partnership) (herein
called "Lessee”).
2. Premises.
Lessor
hereby leases to Lessee and Lessee leases from Lessor for the term, at the
rental, and upon all of the conditions set forth herein, that certain premises
situated in the County of Los Angeles, State of California, commonly known
as
000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, consisting of approximately 13,100 square
feet of mezzanine offices and warehouse (herein called “The Premises”).
3. Term.
3.1
Term. The
term
of this Lease shall be for one (1) year commencing on June 1, 1995 and ending
on
May 31, 1996 unless sooner
terminated pursuant to any provision hereof.
3.2
Delay In Commencement.
Notwithstanding said commencement date, if for any reason Lessor cannot deliver
possession of the Premises to Lessee on said date, Lessor shall not be subject
to any liability therefor, nor shall such failure affect the validity of
this
Lease or the obligations of Lessee hereunder or extend the term hereof, but
in
such case Lessee shall not be obligated to pay rent
until possession of the Premises is tendered to Lessee. If Lessee occupies
the
Premises prior to said commencement date (any such occupancy to be only with
Lessor’s consent), such occupancy shall be subject to all provisions hereof,
such occupancy shall not advance the termination date, and Lessee shall pay
rent
for such period at the initial monthly rates set forth below.
4. Rent.
Lessee
shall pay to Lessor rent for the Premises at an annual rate of $125,760.00
payable in equal monthly payments of $10,480.00
in advance, on the first day of each month of the term hereof. Lessee shall
pay
Lessor upon execution hereof $10,480.00 as
rent
for June, 1995. Rent for any period during the term hereof which is for less
than one month shall be a pro
rata
portion of the monthly installment. Rent shall be payable without deduction
or
offset, in lawful money of the United States, to Lessor at the address
stated
herein or to such other persons or at such other places as Lessor may designate
in writing.
5. Security
Deposit.
Lessee
shall deposit with Lessor upon execution hereof $10,480.00 as security for
Lessee's faithful performance
of Lessee's obligation hereunder. If Lessee fails to pay rent or other charges
due hereunder, or otherwise defaults with respect
to any provision of this Lease, Lessor may use, apply or retain all or any
portion of said deposit for the payment of any rent or any
other
charge in default beyond any applicable grace period or for the payment of
any
other sum which the Lessor may spend or become obligated to spend by reason
of
Lessee's default, or to compensate Lessor for any loss or damage which Lessor
may suffer thereby.
If Lessor so uses or applies all or any portion of said deposit, Lessee shall
within ten (10) days after demand therefor deposit
cash with Lessor in an amount sufficient to restore said deposit to the full
amount hereinbefore stated and Lessee's failure to do so shall be a material
breach of this Lease. Lessor shall not be required to keep said deposit separate
from its general accounts. If Lessee
performs all of Lessee's obligations hereunder as of the expiration of the
Lease, said deposit, or so much thereof as has
not
been theretofore
applied by Lessor, shall be returned, without payment of interest or other
increment for its use, to Lessee
(or, at Lessor's option, to the last assignee, if any, of Lessee's interest
hereunder) at the expiration of the term hereof, and after Lessee has vacated
the Premises, No trust relationship is created herein between Lessor and Lessee
with respect to said Security Deposit.

orders, restrictions of record, and requirements in effect during the term
or
any part of the term hereof regulating the use by Lessee of the Premises, Lessee
shall not use nor permit the use of the Premises in any manner that will tend

or, if there shall be more than one tenant in the building containing the

Condition of Premises. (See Addendum-Paragraph 27.)

hereby accepts the Premises in their condition existing as of
the
date of the execution hereof, subject to all applicable zoning, municipal,
county and state laws, ordinances and regulations governing
and regulating the use of the Premises, and accepts this Lease subject thereto
and to all matters disclosed thereby and by any exhibits attached hereto. Lessee
acknowledges that neither Lessor nor Lessor's agent has made any representation
or warranty as
to the
suitability of the Premises for the conduct of Lessee's business.
7. Maintenance,
Repairs and Alterations.
7.1
Lessee's Obligations.
Lessee
shall keep in good order, condition and repair the Premises and every part
thereof, structural (excepting pre-existing structural defect) and
nonstructural whether or not such portion of the Premises
requiring repair, or the means of repairing the same are reasonable or
readily
accessible to Lessee and whether or not the need for
such
repairs occurs as a result of Lessee's use, any prior use, the elements
or age of such portion of the equipment within the Premises, fixtures, walls
(interior and exterior), foundations, ceilings, roofs
(interior and exterior), floors, windows, doors, plate glass and skylights
located within the Premises, and all landscaping, driveways,
parking lots, fences and signs located on the Premises and sidewalks and
parkways adjacent to the Premises.
7.2

On the
last day of the term hereof, or on any sooner termination, Lessee shall
surrender the Premises to Lessor in good
condition and repair, broom clean, ordinary wear and tear and casualty excepted.

occasioned by the installation and/or removal of Lessee's trade fixtures,
furnishings and equipment pursuant to Paragraph 7.5(d),
which repair shall include without limitation the patching and filling of holes
and repair of structural damage.
7.3
Lessor's Rights.
If
Lessee fails to perform Lessee's obligations under this Paragraph 7, Lessor
may
at its option (but shall not be required to) enter upon the Premises, after
ten
(10) days' prior notice to Lessee, and put the same in good order, condition
and
repair, and the reasonable cost thereof together with interest thereon at the
maximum rate permitted by law shall become due and shall
be
collectible as additional rental to Lessor together with Lessee's next rental
Installment.
7.4
Lessor's Obligation. (See Addendum-Paragraph 23.)
Except
for the obligations of Lessor under Paragraph 9 (relating
to destruction
of the Premises) and under
Paragraph 14 (relating to condemnation of the Premises), it is intended by
the
parties hereto that Lessor have no obligation, in any manner whatsoever, to
repair and maintain the Premises nor the building located thereon nor
the
equipment therein, whether structural or non-structural, excepting pre-existing
structural defects, all of which obligations are intended to be those of Lessee
under Paragraph
7.1 hereof. Lessee expressly waives the benefit of any statute now or
hereinafter in effect which would otherwise afford Lessee
the right to make repairs at Lessor's expense or
to
terminate this Lease because of Lessor’s failure to keep the Premises in
good
order, condition and repair.
7.5
Alterations and Additions.
(a) Lessor
may require Lessee to provide Lessor, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, a
lien
and completion bond in an amount equal to one and one-half times the estimated
cost of such improvements, to insure Lessor against any liability for mechanic's
and materialmen's
liens and to insure completion of the work. Should Lessee make any alterations,
improvements, additions or Utility Installations
without the prior approval of Lessor, Lessor may require that Lessee remove
any
or all of the same.
(b) Deleted.
(c) Lessee
shall pay, when due, all claims for labor or materials furnished or alleged
to
have been furnished to or for Lessee at or for
use
in the Premises, which claims are or may be secured by any mechanic's or
materialmen's lien against the Premises or any interest
therein. Lessee shall give Lessor not less than ten (10) days' notice prior
to
the commencement of any work in the Premises, and
Lessor shall have the right to post notices of non-responsibility in or on
the
Premises as provided by law. Lessee shall discharge,
by bond or otherwise, within ten (10) days after the filing thereof, any
mechanic's lien filed against the Premises for work claimed
to have been done for, or materials claimed to have been furnished to, Lessee.
If Lessee shall, in good faith, contest the validity
of any such lien, claim or demand, then Lessee shall, at its sole expense,
defend itself and Lessor against the same and shall pay
and
satisfy any such adverse judgment that may be rendered thereon before the
enforcement thereof against the Lessor or the Premises,
upon condition that Lessor may require Lessee to furnish to Lessor a surety
bond
satisfactory to Lessor in an amount equal
to
such contested lien, claim or demand indemnifying Lessor against liability
for
the same and holding the Premises free from
the
effect of such a lien or claim. In addition, Lessor may require Lessee to pay
Lessors attorneys' fees and costs in participating
in such an action if Lessor shall decide it is to its best interest to do
so.
2
(d) Unless
Lessor requires their removal, as set forth in Paragraph 7.5(a), all
alterations, improvements, additions and Utility Installations
(whether or not such Utility Installations constitute trade fixtures of Lessee),
which may be made on the Premises, shall become
the property of Lessor and remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises
at
the expiration of the term. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Paragraph
7.5(d), Lessee's machinery and equipment, other than that which is affixed
to
the Premises so that it cannot
be
removed without material damage to the Premises, shall remain the property
of
Lessee and may be removed by Lessee subject
to the provisions of Paragraph 7.2.
7.6
Lessor's Option.
Upon
reasonable advance notice and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein and in addition
to the rights provided Lessor in Paragraph 7.3, Lessor may at its option (but
shall not be required to) enter upon the Premises
at any time during the term hereof and perform any maintenance, repairs or
alterations which Lessor is entitled to perform under
the
terms of the Lease, and Lessee shall pay Lessor Lessee's share of the cost
of
any such maintenance, repairs or alterations, as
such
share shall be equitably determined by Lessor, promptly upon Lessor's billing
Lessee therefor. Lessors reasonable determination
thereof, in good faith, shall be conclusive. Lessor agrees to perform any such
work in a manner which reasonably minimizes
disruption to Lessee's business activities.
8.
Insurance and Indemnity.
8.1
Insuring Party.
As used
in this Paragraph 8, the term "insuring party" shall mean Lessor. Lessee shall
reimburse Lessor for the
cost
of the insurance obtained in monthly installments as additional rent hereunder
in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph
16.24. If the Premises is a part of a larger building or group of buildings
and
is not separately insured, Lessee's liability shall be an equitable proportion
of the insurance costs for all of the insured property, such equitable
proportion to be reasonably determined
by Lessor in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Lessee.
8.2
Liability Insurance.
Lessee,
at its sole cost and expense, shall maintain during the term hereof
comprehensive (commercial) general
liability insurance on an "occurrence basis" against claims for "personal
injury", including without limitation bodily injury, death
and/or damage, occurring upon, in or about the Premises in a combined single
limit or not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and
with
policy aggregate limit of no less than $2,000,000 (or such higher amounts
thereof as may be reasonably requested by Lessor
not to exceed a policy aggregate limit of $5,000,000 from time to time during
this Lease). Said insurance shall name Lessor as
an
additional insured; shall be written by companies and in form satisfactory
to
Lessor (which companies shall be authorized to do business
in California); shall apply primary to any other comparable liability coverage;
and shall contain an endorsement requiring thirty
(30) days' prior written notice sent by certified or registered mail, return
receipt requested, to Lessor at the address set forth below,
or
such other address as may be provided to any such insurer by Lessor, before
cancellation thereof or change in the coverage,
scope or amount of such policy or policies. Lessee shall provide Lessor with
a
Certificate of Insurance as evidence of such insurance
within twenty (20) days of the date of this Lease. In the event Lessee fails
to
obtain such insurance as provided in this Lease,
Lessor may obtain any such insurance, and the cost thereof shall be paid by
Lessee as additional rent with the first payment of
rent
which is due subsequent to Lessor's incurring such cost, and Lessor shall have
all remedies to collect the same as rent in the Lease
provided, and/or as otherwise provided by law for the collection of rent. The
policy shall contain "cross-liability" or "separation of
insureds" coverage and shall insure performance by Lessee of the indemnity
provisions of this Paragraph 8. The limits of said insurance
shall not, however, limit the liability of Lessee hereunder. In the event that
the Premises constitutes a part of a larger property,
said insurance shall have a Lessor's Protective Liability endorsement attached
thereto.
8.3
Property Insurance. (See Addendum-Paragraph 24.)
(a) The
insuring party shall obtain and keep in force during the term of this lease
a
policy or policies of insurance covering loss or damage to the Premises,
in the
amount of the full replacement value thereof, as the same may exist from
time to
time, which replacement value is now $2,000,000.00, against all perils included
within the classification of fire, extended coverage, vandalism, malicious
mischief, special extended perils (all risk), sprinkler leakage and, at Lessor’s
option, earthquake. Said insurance shall provide
for payment of loss thereunder to lessor or to the holders of mortgages or
deeds
of trust on the Premises. The insuring party shall,
in
addition, obtain and keep in force during the term of this Lease a policy
of
rental income insurance covering a period of twelve
(12) months, with loss payable to Lessor, which insurance shall also cover
all
real estate taxes and insurance costs for said period.
If such insurance coverage has a deductible clause, Lessee shall be liable
for
the deductible amount.
3
(b) If
the
Premises are part of a larger building, or if the Premises are part of a
group
of buildings owned by Lessor which are adjacent to the Premises, then Lessee
shall pay for any increase in the property insurance of such other building
or
buildings if said increase is caused by Lessee's acts, omissions, use or
occupancy of the Premises.
(c) Lessee
shall not do or permit to be done anything which shall invalidate the insurance
policies referred to in Paragraph 8.3. If Lessee does or permits to be done
anything which shall increase the cost of the insurance policies referred
to in
Paragraph 8.3, then Lessee shall forthwith upon Lessor’s demand reimburse Lessor
for any additional premiums attributable to any act or omission or operation
of
Lessee causing such increase in the cost of insurance.
8.4
Waiver of Subrogation.
Lessee
and Lessor each hereby waive any and all rights of recovery against the other,
or against the officers,
employees, agents and representatives of the other, for loss of or damage
to
such waiving party or its property or the property
of others under its control to the extent that such loss or damage is insured
against under any insurance policy in force at the time of
such
loss or damage. The insuring party shall, if possible, in obtaining the policies
of insurance required hereunder, obtain policies
which permit such waiver.
8.5
Indemnity.
Lessee
shall indemnify and hold harmless Lessor from and against any and all
claims arising out of any alleged defective
or unsafe condition of the Premises and from Lessee's use of the Premises,
or
from the conduct of Lessees business or from
any
activity, work or things done, permitted or suffered by Lessee in or about
the
Premises or elsewhere unless due to the willful acts
or
gross negligence of Lessor, its employees, agents or contractors and shall
further indemnify and hold harmless Lessor from and
against any and all claims arising from any breach or default in the performance
of any obligation on Lessee's part to be performed
under the terms
of
this Lease, or arising from willful acts or gross negligence of Lessee, or
any
of Lessee's agents, contractors,
or employees, and from and against all costs, attorneys' fees, expenses and
liabilities incurred in the defense of any such claim or any action or
proceeding brought thereon; and in case any action or proceeding be brought
against Lessor by reason of any such
claim, Lessee upon notice from Lessor shall defend the same at Lessee's expense
by counsel satisfactory to Lessor. Lessee, as a material part of the
consideration to Lessor, hereby assumes all risk of damage to property or
injury
to persons in, upon, or about the Premises arising from any cause and Lessee
hereby waives all claims in respect thereof against Lessor.
8.6
Exemption of Lessor from
Liability.
Unless
due to the willful acts or gross negligence of Lessor, its employees, agents
or
contractors, Lessor shall not be liable for injury to Lessee's business or
any
loss of income therefrom or for damage to the goods, wares,
merchandise or other property of Lessee, Lessee's employees, invitees,
customers, agents, contractors, or any other person in or
about
the Premises, nor shall Lessor be liable
for injury to the person of Lessee, Lessee's employees, invitees, customers,
agents or contractors, whether such damage or injury is caused by or results
from fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, or from the breakage,
leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances,
plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures, or from any other cause,
whether the said damage or injury results from conditions arising upon the
Premises or upon other portions of the building of which the Premises is
a part,
or from other sources or places, and regardless of whether the cause of such
damage or
injury
or the means of repairing the same is inaccessible to Lessee. Lessor shall
not
be liable for any damages arising from any act
or
neglect of any other tenant, if any, of the building in which the Premises
is
located.
9.
Damage or Destruction.
9.1
If the
Premises shall be partially damaged by fire or other cause, then the Premises
shall be repaired by and at the expense of Lessor
and the rent, until such repairs shall be made, shall be apportioned according
to the part of the Premises which is usable by Lessee.
No penalty shall accrue for reasonable delay which may arise by reason of
adjustment of fire insurance on the part of Lessor or
Lessee, for reasonable delay on account of "labor troubles", or any other
cause
beyond Lessor’s control. If (i) the Premises are totally
damaged or are rendered wholly untenantable, (ii) the Premises are totally
or
partially damaged by uninsured fire or other uninsured
cause, or (iii) the Premises shall be so damaged that Lessor shall
decide to
demolish the entire Premises, then within ninety
(90) days after the occurrence of the event or damage or destruction Lessor
may
elect, by written notice to Lessee, to terminate
this Lease. In such event, the term of this Lease shall expire by lapse of
time
upon the third day after such notice is given, and Lessee shall vacate the
Premises and surrender the same to Lessor. If Lessor does not elect to terminate
this Lease pursuant to the
preceding sentence, then: Lessor shall diligently undertake and prosecute
to
completion the repair of the Premises, to substantially
their condition immediately prior to the event of damage or destruction;
and
rent shall be apportioned according to the part
of
the Premises which is usable by Lessee, until such restoration or rebuilding
is
complete. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Lessor
notifies Lessee of Lessor’s election to terminate this Lease pursuant to the
foregoing, then for a period of ten (10) days following Lessee's receipt
of
written notice of such election, Lessee may elect, by written notice to Lessor,
at Lessee's own cost and expense, to restore or rebuild the Premises to
substantially their condition immediately prior to the event of damage
or
destruction, in which event: (i) this Lease shall continue thereafter in
full
force and effect, as if Lessor’s election to terminate had never been made; (ii)
Lessee shall diligently cause the Premises to be restored or rebuilt in
accordance with the foregoing;
and (iii) rent shall be apportioned according to the part of the Premises
which
is usable by Lessee until such restoration or rebuilding is complete, to
the
extent of rental loss insurance available to Lessor.
4
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that Lessor does
not or
may not elect to terminate this Lease
pursuant to the terms of this Paragraph 9.1, then within sixty (60) following
the occurrence of any event of damage or destruction
to the Premises, Lessor shall provide Lessee with written notice, prepared
by a
licensed California contractor, reasonably estimating
the period of time which will be required to repair or rebuild the Premises
to
substantially the condition in which they existed
immediately prior to such damage or destruction. If such reparation or
rebuilding is not reasonably estimated to be complete within two hundred
forty
(240) days following the occurrence of such damage or destruction, then Lessee
may elect by written notice to Lessor with ten (10) business days of Lessor's
notice to terminate this Lease in which event: (i) the term of this Lease
shall
expire by
lapse
of time upon the third day after such notice is given, and (ii) Lessee shall
vacate the Premises and surrender the same to Lessor.
No
penalty shall accrue for reasonable delay which may arise by reason of
adjustment of fire insurance on the part of Lessor or Lessee, for reasonable
delay on account of "labor troubles", or any other cause beyond the control
of
Lessor or Lessee.
9.2
Damage Near End of Term.
If the
Premises are partially destroyed or damaged during the last six (6) months
of
the term of this
Lease, either party hereto may at its option cancel and terminate this Lease
as
of the date of occurrence of such damage by giving
notice to the other party of its election to do so within thirty (30) days
after
the date of occurrence of such damage.
9.3
Termination - Advance Payments.
Upon
termination of this Lease pursuant to this Paragraph 9, an equitable adjustment
shall be made concerning advance rent and any advance payments made by Lessee
to
Lessor. Lessor shall, in addition, return to Lessee so
much
of Lessee's security deposit as has not theretofore been applied by
Lessor.
9.4
Waiver.
Lessee
waives the provisions of California Civil Code Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4)
which relate to termination of leases
when the thing leased is destroyed and all rights under any law in existence
during the term of this Lease authorizing a tenant to
make
repairs at the expense of a landlord or to terminate a lease on complete
or
partial destruction of the leased premises, and agrees
that any such event shall be governed by the terms of this Lease.
10.
Real Property Taxes.
10.1
Payment of Taxes. Lessee
shall pay to Lessor in monthly installments, as additional rent, Lessee's
share
of the real property taxes
applicable to the Premises in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph
16.24.
10.2
Definition of "Real Property" Tax.
As used
herein, the term "real property tax" shall include any form of assessment,
license fee, commercial rental tax, levy, penalty, or tax (other than
inheritance or estate tax or State or Federal income tax of Lessor), imposed
by
any authority having the direct or indirect power to tax, including any city,
county, state or federal government, or any school,
agricultural, lighting, drainage or other improvement district thereof, as
against any legal or equitable interest of Lessor in the Premises
or in the real property of which the Premises are a part, as against Lessor's
right to rent or other income therefrom, or as against
Lessor's business of leasing the Premises or any tax imposed in substitution,
partially or totally, of any tax previously included
within the definition of real property tax, or any additional
tax the nature of which was previously included within the definition
of
real
property tax. Any surcharge or regulatory fee imposed by any governmental
entity
with reference to parking applicable to the Premises shall also be included
within the term "real property tax."
5
10.3
Proration of Taxes.
If the
Premises are not separately assessed, Lessee's liability shall be an equitable
proportion of the real property taxes for all of the land and improvements
included within the tax parcel assessed, such proportion to be determined
by
Lessor
from the respective valuations assigned in the assessor's work sheets or
such
other information as may be reasonable available.
Lessor's reasonable determination thereof shall be reasonably acceptable
to
Lessee.
10.4
Personal Property Taxes.
(a) Lessee
shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes assessed against and levied upon
trade
fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal property of Lessee
contained in the Premises or elsewhere. When possible, Lessee, shall cause
said
trade fixtures, furnishings,
equipment and all other personal property to be assessed and billed separately
from the real property of Lessor.
(b) If
any of
Lessee's said personal property shall be assessed with Lessor's real property,
Lessee shall pay Lessor the taxes attributable
to Lessee in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 16.24.
11.
Utilities. Lessee
shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power, telephone and other utilities
and services supplied to the Premises, together with any taxes thereon. If
any
such services are not separately metered to Lessee, Lessee shall pay a
reasonable proportion to be determined by Lessor of all charges jointly metered
with other premises
12.
Assignment. Mortgage and Subletting. (See Addendum-Paragraph
33.)
12.1
Lessor's Consent.
Neither
Lessee, nor Lessee's legal representatives, successors or assigns, shall
assign,
mortgage or encumber
this Lease, or sublet, or use or occupy or permit the Premises or any part
thereof to be used or occupied by others, without the prior consent of Lessor
and the payment of any applicable processing fee in each instance, and any
such
assignment, mortgage, encumbrance,
sublease or permission without such consent and payment shall be voidable
at the
option of Lessor and, at the further
option of Lessor, shall terminate this Lease subject to the provisions of
Paragraph 13 "Defaults; Remedies". If this Lease
be
assigned, or if the Premises or any part thereof be sublet or occupied by
any
party other than Lessee, Lessor may, alter default by Lessee, collect rent
from
the assignee, subtenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to
the
rent herein reserved,
but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed
a
waiver of this covenant or the acceptance of the
assignee, subtenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Lessee from the
further performance by Lessee of the obligations on the
part
of Lessee herein contained. The consent by Lessor to an assignment or subletting
shall not in any wise be construed to relieve
Lessee, the assignee or the subtenant from obtaining the express consent
of
Lessor to any further assignment or subletting or to release Lessee from
any
liability, whether past, present or future, under this Lease or to release
Lessee from any liability under this Lease because of Lessor's failure to
give
notice of default under or in respect of any of the terms, covenants,
conditions, provisions or agreements of this Lease. Notwithstanding the consent
of Lessor to such assignment or subletting, Lessee shall remain liable for
the
payment
of all bills rendered by Lessor for the charges incurred by the assignee
or
subtenant for services and materials supplied to the
Premises. A transfer of control of Lessee shall be deemed an assignment under
this Lease and shall be subject to all the provisions
of this Article, including but not limited to the requirement of obtaining
Lessor's prior consent, unless Lessee at the time of the proposed transfer
is
then a publicly held corporation freely traded on a major stock
exchange.
Notwithstanding
any contrary provision of the immediately preceding provisions of this Paragraph
12.1, but subject to the provisions of Subparagraph 12.2(b), Lessee may assign
this Lease or sublet the Premises or any portion thereof upon the following
express
conditions:
(1)
that
the proposed assignee or subtenant shall be subject to the prior consent
of
Lessor, which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed more than ten (10) business days after Lessor's receipt
of
all information required from Lessee but, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, it shall be reasonable for Lessor
to
deny such consent if:
(a) the
use
to be made of the Premises by the proposed assignee or subtenant is a use
which would
be
prohibited by any other portion
of this Lease (including but not limited to any Rules and Regulations then
in
effect) or a use which would impose any additional
burden upon Lessor in the operation of the Building; however, Lessor shall
not
unreasonably withhold its consent to a use differing from those set forth
in
Paragraph 6.1 of this Lease; or
6
(b) the
character, moral stability, reputation and financial responsibility of the
proposed assignee or subtenant are not reasonably satisfactory
to Lessor or in any event not at least equal to those which were possessed
by
Lessee as of the date of execution of this Lease;
(2)
that
Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for all reasonable costs incurred by Lessor
in
connection with such assignment or subletting
including without limitation all attorneys' fees applicable
thereto;
(3)
that
the proposed assignee or subtenant shall execute an agreement pursuant to
which
it shall agree to perform faithfully and be
bound
by all of the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements of
this
Lease;
(4)
that
an executed duplicate original of said assignment and assumption agreement
or
sublease, as the case may be, on Lessor's then
standard form, shall be delivered to Lessor within five (5) days after the
execution thereof, and that such assignment or subletting
shall not be binding upon Lessor until the delivery thereof to Lessor;
and
(5)
that
Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as additional rent, one-half (1/2) of any
consideration given to Lessee by the proposed assignee or
subtenant for or in connection with such assignment or subletting. Lessor
and
Lessee have each given full consideration to the possibility
that the rental value of the Premises may appreciate during the term of the
Lease. In such regard, Lessor and Lessee have expressly
allocated the possibility of such rental value increase as part of their
negotiations of this Lease. Lessor and Lessee freely negotiated
all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, including but not limited
to, the
possibility that this Lease may be terminated by
Lessor
pursuant to this Paragraph 12. Lessor and Lessee expressly thus agree that
any
such rental increase value is not an element
of value or property right granted to Lessee, and that Lessor retains all
rights
thereto, including, but not limited to, the termination
and allocation rights herein set forth.
12.2
Procedure.
(a) At
least
thirty (30) days prior to any proposed subletting or assignment or mortgage,
Lessee shall submit to Lessor a statement containing the name and address
of the
proposed subtenant or assignee or mortgagee and all of the principal terms
and
conditions of the
proposed subletting or assignment or mortgage including, but not limited
to, in
the event of a subletting the proposed commencement
and expiration dates of the term thereof. If the proposed sublet area shall
not
constitute the entire Premises, such statement
shall be accompanied by a floor plan delineating the proposed sublet area.
Lessor shall have a reasonable amount of time but in no event less than ten
(10)
business days from the receipt of any such notice to consent, decline to
consent
or make one of the elections
provided in Subparagraph (b) below.
(b) In
lieu
of consenting or not consenting, Lessor may, at its option (i) terminate
this
Lease in its entirety if Lessee submits a written
request for an assignment or subletting, for substantially the entire remaining
term of the Lease, of the Premises in its entirety, (ii)
elect to enter into a lease directly with the proposed assignee or with
the
proposed subtenant as to that portion of the Premises which
Lessee has proposed to sublet, (iii) terminate this Lease as to that portion
of
the Premises which Lessee had proposed to sublet,
or (iv) elect, where the rental charged in the sublease exceeds the pro
rata
portion of the rental for such space charged in this Lease, to receive
from
Lessee monthly, as additional rent, one-half (1/2) of the excess of the
rental
charged in the sublease, over the rental
charged in this Lease for the subleased space, after deducting from such
one-half of the excess the amounts, if any, which Lessee
has reimbursed Lessor pursuant to Paragraph 12.1.(2), Lessor's termination
rights under this subparagraph shall be exercisable only in the case of
(i) a
sublease or assignment occurring with the last two (2) years of the Lease
Term
or (ii) a sublease
or assignment of more than fifty percent (50%) of the floor area of the
buildings comprising the Premises.
12.3
Bankruptcy.
(a) If
Lessee
shall file a petition for voluntary bankruptcy or reorganization under
any
provision of the Bankruptcy Code as then in effect,
or if Lessee be adjudicated
a bankrupt in involuntary bankruptcy proceedings and such adjudication
shall not
have been vacated
within ninety (90) days from the date thereof, or a receiver or trustee
be
appointed of Lessee's property in any involuntary proceeding
and the order appointing such receiver or trustee be not set aside or vacated
within ninety (90) days after the entry thereof,
or if Lessee shall assign Lessee's estate or effects for the benefit of
creditors, or if Lessee becomes insolvent, or if this Lease shall
otherwise by operation of law devolve or pass to any person or persons
other
than Lessee, then and in any such events Lessor may,
at
its option, with or without notice of such election and with or without
entry or
action by Lessor, forthwith terminate this Lease, and
notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease, Lessor, in addition
to any
and all rights and remedies allowed by law or equity,
shall upon such termination be entitled to recover damages in an amount
equal to
the then present value of the rent reserved in
this
Lease for the entire residue of the stated term hereof, less the fair rental
value of the Premises for the residue of the stated term
hereof, and neither Lessee nor any person claiming through or under Lessee
or
by virtue
of
any statute or order of any court shall
be
entitled to possession of the Premises but shall forthwith quit and surrender
the Premises
to Lessor.
7
(b) Without
limiting any of the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph, if pursuant to
the
Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 Lessee is permitted to assign this Lease
notwithstanding the restrictions contained in this Lease, Lessee agrees that
adequate assurance of future
performance by an assignee expressly permitted under such Code shall be deemed
to mean the deposit of cash security in an amount equal to the sum of one
year's
rent reserved hereby plus an amount equal to additional rent under Paragraph
4.1
hereof for the
calendar year preceding the year in which such assignment is intended to
become
effective, which deposit shall be held by Lessor
in
accordance with Paragraph 5 for the balance of the term, without interest,
as
security for the full performance of all of the obligations under this Lease
on
Lessee's part to be performed.
12.4
Identification of Lessee.
(a) If
more
than one person executes this Lease as Lessee, (i) each of them shall be
jointly
and severally liable for the keeping, observing and performing of all of
the
terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements of this Lease to
be
kept, observed and performed by Lessee, and (ii) the term "Lessee" as used
in
this Lease shall mean and include each of them jointly and severally and
the act
of or notice from, or notice or refund to, or the signature of, any one or
more
of them, with respect to tenancy of this Lease,
including, but not limited to any renewal, extension, expiration, termination
or
modification of this Lease as Lessee shall have the
same
force and effect as if each and all of them had so acted or so given or received
such notice or refund or so signed.
(b) If
Lessee
is a partnership (or is comprised of two or more persons, individually and
as
co-partners of a partnership) or if Lessee's interest in this Lease shall
be
assigned to a partnership (or to two or more persons individually and as
co-partners of a partnership) pursuant to Paragraph 12.2 hereof (any such
partnership and such persons are referred to in this Subparagraph as
Partnership
Tenant): (i) the liability of each of
the
parties comprising Partnership Tenant shall be joint and several, and (ii)
each
of the parties comprising Partnership Tenant hereby consents in advance to,
and
agrees to be bound by, any written instrument which may hereafter
be executed, changing, modifying or discharging this Lease, in whole or in
part,
or surrendering all or any part of the Premises
to Lessor, any notices, demands, requests or other communications which may
hereafter be given by Partnership Tenant or any of the parties comprising
Partnership Tenant, and (iii) any bills, statements, notices, demands, requests
or other communications given or rendered to Partnership Tenant or to any
of the
parties comprising Partnership Tenant shall be deemed given or rendered to
Partnership
Tenant and to all such parties and shall be binding upon Partnership Tenant
and
all such parties, and (iv) if Partnership Tenant
shall admit new partners, all of such new partners shall, by their admission
to
Partnership Tenant, be deemed to have assumed
performance of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease on
Lessee's part to be observed and performed, and (v)
Partnership Tenant shall give prompt notice to Lessor of the admission of
any
such new partners, and, upon demand of Lessor, shall cause each such new
partner
to execute and deliver to Lessor an agreement in form satisfactory to Lessor,
wherein each new partner shall assume performance of all of the terms, covenants
and conditions of this Lease on Lessee's part to be observed and performed,
but
neither Lessor's failure to request any such agreement nor the failure of
any
such new partner to execute or deliver any such agreement to Lessor shall
vitiate the provisions of this Subparagraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the
individual shareholders, officers and directors of the partnership corporations
shall not be personally liable hereunder.
13.
Defaults; Remedies.
8
13.1
Defaults.
The
occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a
material default and breach of this Lease
by
Lessee:
(a) The
vacating or abandonment of the Premises by Lessee for three (3) consecutive
months.
(b) The
failure by Lessee to make any payment of rent or any other payment required
to
be made by Lessee hereunder, as and when due after three (3) days' notice
having
been given by Lessor to Lessee.
(c) The
failure by Lessee to observe or perform any of the covenants, conditions
or
provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Lessee, other than
described in paragraph (b) above, where such failure shall continue for a
period
of thirty (30) days after written notice hereof from Lessor to Lessee; provided,
however, that if the nature of Lessee's default is such that more than thirty
(30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Lessee shall not be
deemed
to be in default if Lessee commenced such cure within said thirty (30) day
period and thereafter diligently pursues such cure to completion.
(d) (i)The
making by Lessee of any general assignment or general arrangement for the
benefit of creditors; (ii) the filing by or against Lessee of a petition
to have
Lessee adjudged a bankrupt or a petition for reorganization or arrangement
under
any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against
Lessee, the same is dismissed within ninety (90) days); (iii) the appointment
of
a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Lessee's
assets
located at the Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease, where possession
is not restored to Lessee within ninety (90) days; or (iv) the attachment,
execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Lessee's assets
located at the Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease, where such
seizure is not discharged within ninety (90) days.
(e) The
discovery by Lessor that any financial statement given to Lessor
by Lessee, an assignee of Lessee, any subtenant of Lessee, any
successor in interest of Lessee or any guarantor of Lessee's obligations
hereunder, and any of them, was materially false.
(f) The
removal by Lessee of substantially all of Lessee's furniture from the Premises
for three (3) consecutive months.
(g) The
failure by Lessee to move into or take possession of the Premises within
fifteen
(15) days after the commencement of the term of this Lease.
(h) Deleted.
(i) Deleted.
(j) Any
default by Lessee with respect to any other lease between (i) Lessor and
Lessee,
or (ii) any parent company or subsidiary company or affiliate or agent of
Lessor
and Lessee.
(k) The
assignment or other transfer by Lessee of substantially all of the
assets used in connection with the business conducted in the
Premises.
13.2
Remedies.
In the
event of any such material default or breach by Lessee, Lessor may at any
time
thereafter, with or without notice
or
demand and without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or remedy
which
Lessor may have by reason of such default or
breach:
(a) Terminate
Lessee's right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means, in which
case
this Lease shall terminate and
Lessee shall immediately surrender possession of the premises to
Lessor.
(b) Maintain
Lessee's right to possession in which case this Lease shall continue in effect
whether or not Lessee shall have abandoned
the Premises. In such event Lessor shall be entitled to enforce all of Lessor's
rights and remedies under this Lease, including
the right to recover the rent as it becomes due hereunder. Lessor shall not
be
deemed to have elected to terminate unless Lessor gives Lessee notice of
such
election to terminate, and in no event shall Lessor's acts of maintenance
or
preservation of the Premises,
efforts to relet the Premises, or obtaining the appointment of a receiver
to
protect the interest of Lessor under this Lease be deemed
to
constitute such termination.
9
(c) Pursue
any other remedy now or hereafter available to Lessor under the laws or judicial
decisions of the State in which the Premises are located.
(d) In
the
event Lessor elects to
terminate this Lease and Lessee's right to possession in accordance with
this
Paragraph, or the same are terminated by operation of law, Lessor may recover
as
damages from Lessee the following:
(i)
The
worth at the time of award of the unpaid rental (including but not limited
to
any additional rent payable under Paragraph 4.1 hereof even if determined
at a
later date) and other sums due hereunder which had been earned at the time
of
the termination of this
Lease, and (ii) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the
unpaid
rental (including but not limited to any additional
rent payable under Paragraph 4.1 hereof) and other sums due hereunder which
would have been earned after the date of termination of this Lease until
the
time of award exceeds the amount of such loss of rental and other sums due
that
Lessee proves could
have been reasonably avoided; and (iii) The worth at the time of the award
of
the amount by which the unpaid rental (including but not limited to any
additional rent payable under Paragraph 4.1 hereof) and other sums due hereunder
for the balance of the term after
the
time of award exceeds the amount of the loss of such rental and other sums
that
Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided;
and (iv) Any other amount, including attorneys' fees and court costs, necessary
to compensate Lessor for all detriment proximately
caused by Lessee's act of default or which in the ordinary course of things
would be likely to result therefrom. The "worth at
the
time of award" of the amounts referred to in (i) and (ii) above, is computed
by
allowing interest at the maximum rate allowed by law. The “worth at the time of
award" of the amount referred to in (iii) above, is computed by discounting
such
amount at the discount rate
of
the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one
percent.
13.3
Late Charges.
Lessee
hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee to Lessor of rent and other
sums
due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease,
the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such
costs
include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late
charges which may be imposed on Lessor by the terms
of
any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any
installment of rent or any other sum due from Lessee shall
not
be received by Lessor
or
Lessor's designee within ten (10) days after such amount shall be due, Lessee
shall pay to Lessor a
late
charge equal to 6% of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that
such
late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute
a waiver of Lessee's default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent
Lessor from exercising any of the other rights
and remedies granted hereunder. If the payment of rent is received late for
two
consecutive months or more than four times within
any twelve month period, then, upon notice to Lessee by Lessor, rent for
the
balance of the Lease term shall be payable quarterly,
in advance.
14.
Condemnation.
If the
Premises or any portion thereof are taken under the power
of
eminent domain, or sold under the threat of the
exercise of said power (all of which are herein called "condemnation"), this
Lease shall terminate as to the part so taken as of the date
the
condemning authority takes title or possession, whichever first occurs. If
more
than 10% of the floor area of the improvements
on the Premises, or more than 25% of the land area of the Premises which
is not
occupied by any improvements, is taken
by
condemnation, Lessor or Lessee may, at either party's option, to be exercised
in
writing only within ten (10) days after Lessor
shall have given Lessee written notice of such taking (or in the absence
of such
notice, within ten (10) days after the
condemning
authority shall have taken possession) terminate this Lease as of the date
of
the condemning authority takes possession.
If neither party terminates this Lease in accordance with the foregoing,
this
Lease shall remain in full force and effect as
to
the
portion of the Premises remaining, except that the rent shall be reduced
in
proportion that the floor area taken bears to the total floor
area of the building situated on the Premises. Any award for the taking of
all
or any part of the Premises under the power of eminent
domain or any payment made under threat of the exercise of such power shall
be
the property of Lessor, whether such award
shall be made as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or
for
the taking of the fee, or as severance damages. In the event that this Lease
is
not terminated by reason of such condemnation, Lessor shall, to the extent
of
severance damages received by Lessor in connection with such condemnation,
repair any damage to the Premises caused by such condemnation except to the
extent that Lessee has been reimbursed therefor by the
condemning authority. Lessee shall pay any amount in excess of such severance
damages required to complete such repair.
15.
Brokers.
In
connection with this Lease, Lessee and Lessor warrant and represent to each
other that neither has had dealings with any broker or finder and that each
knows of no person who is or might be entitled to a commission, finder's
fee or
other like payment in connection herewith and do hereby indemnify and agree
to
hold each other harmless from and against any and all loss, liability and
expenses
that the other may incur should such warranty and representation prove
incorrect.
10
16.General
Provisions.
16.1
Estoppel Certificate.
(a) Lessee
shall, each time and from time to time upon receipt of request therefor from
Lessor, within five (5) business days after receipt of such request, execute,
acknowledge and deliver to Lessor a statement in writing addressed to Lessor
or
its designee: (i) certifying
that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified,
stating the nature of such modification and certifying
that this Lease as so modified is in full force and effect), (ii) setting
forth
the dates to which the rental and other charges are paid
(and
if any amounts
are paid in advance so stating), and (iii) acknowledging that there are not
any
uncured defaults on the part of
Lessor
or Lessee (or if any defaults are claimed, specifying the same). Such statement
as given by Lessee (or Lessor pursuant to subparagraph (b) hereof) may be
relied
upon by a prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the real property or any
part
thereof of which the Premises are a part. Lessor shall also agree to provide,
upon request by Lessee, and within five (5) days of request, the same
information as described in 16.1(a)(i), (ii) and (iii).
(b) The
failure or refusal of Lessee to deliver the statement(s) as requested by
Lessor
pursuant to subparagraph (a) hereof within the
time
provided shall, at the option of Lessor, constitutes a default under this
Lease,
and in the event of any such failure or refusal Lessee
shall be conclusively bound by any statement of such import given by
Lessor.
(c)
If
Lessor
desires to finance or refinance the Premises, or any part thereof, and from
time
to time during the term of this Lease, at the sole discretion of Lessor,
Lessee
hereby agrees to deliver to any lender designated by Lessor such financial
statements and tax returns
of Lessee as may be reasonably requested by Lessor.
Such statements shall include the past three years' financial statements
of Lessee or such shorter period based on the time Lessee has been in existence.
All such financial statements shall be received in confidence and shall be
used
only for the purposes herein set forth.
16.2
Lessor’s Liability.
The term
“Lessor” as used herein shall mean only the owner or owners at the time in
question of the fee
title
or a lessee's interest in a ground lease of the Premises. In the
event
of any transfer of such title or interest, Lessor herein named (and in case
of
any subsequent transfers the then grantor) shall be relieved from and after
the
date of such transfer of all liability
as respects Lessor's obligations thereafter to be performed, provided that
any funds
in
the hands of Lessor or the then grantor at the time of such transfer, in
which
Lessee has an interest, shall be delivered to the grantee. The obligations
contained in this Lease to
be
performed by Lessor shall, subject as aforesaid, be binding on Lessor's
successors and assigns, only during their respective periods of ownership.
Lessee agrees to look solely to Lessor's estate and interest in the real
property of which the Premises is a part (or
the
proceeds thereof) for the satisfaction
of any remedy
of
Lessee for the collection of a judgment (or other judicial process) requiring
the payment of money by Lessor in the event of any default by Lessor hereunder,
and no other property or assets of Lessor or
of any
of the partners of Lessor shall be subject to levy, execution or other
enforcement procedure for the satisfaction of Lessee's remedies under or
with
respect to this Lease, the relationship of Lessor and Lessee hereunder or
Lessee's use or occupancy of the Premises. This Lease and the obligations
of
Lessee hereunder shall not be affected or impaired because Lessor is unable
to
fulfill any of its obligations hereunder or is delayed in doing so if such
inability or delay is caused by reason of strike or labor troubles or any
other
cause beyond the reasonable control of Lessor.
16.3
Severability.
The
invalidity of any provision of this Lease as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction, shall in no way affect the validity of any other provision
hereof.
16.4
Interest on Past-due Obligations.
Except
as expressly herein provided to the contrary, any amount due Lessor not paid
when
due
shall bear interest at the maximum rate allowed by law from the date due.
Payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure
any
default by Lessee under this Lease, provided, however, that interest shall
not
be payable on late charges incurred by Lessee nor
on
any amounts upon which late charges are paid by Lessee.
11
16.5
Time of Essence.
Time is
of the essence as to Lessee's obligations hereunder.
16.6
Captions.
Article
and paragraph captions are for convenience only and shall not be referred
to for
the purpose of limiting and construing this Lease in any way.
16.7
Incorporation of Prior Agreements; Amendments.
This
Lease contains all agreements of the parties with respect to any matter
mentioned herein. No prior agreement or understanding pertaining to any such
matter shall be effective. Except as otherwise stated
in
this Lease, Lessee hereby acknowledges that neither the real estate brokers
listed in Paragraph 15 hereof nor any cooperating
broker on this transaction nor the Lessor or any employees or agents of any
of
said persons has made any oral or written warranties
or representations to Lessee relative to the condition or use by Lessee of
the
Premises, or the costs of operating or the taxes
with respect to said Premises and Lessee acknowledges that Lessee assumes
ail
responsibility regarding the Occupation Safety
Health Act or the legal use or adaptability of the Premises and the compliance
thereof to all applicable laws and regulations enforced
during the term of this Lease except as otherwise specifically stated in
this
Lease. This Lease may be modified in writing only,
signed by the parties in interest at the time of the modification.
16.8
Notices.
Except
as otherwise in this Lease provided, any notice, consent, approval, demand,
statement, xxxx, or other communication
which Lessor may desire or be required to give to Lessee, shall be deemed
sufficiently given or rendered if, in writing, delivered
Lessee personally to the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer
of
Lessee or sent by registered or certified mail addressed
to Lessee at the Premises or at the address set forth below, and at the time
of
the rendition of such xxxx or statement and of the giving of such notice,
consent, approval, demand or communication shall be deemed to be the time
when the
same
is delivered to Lessee,
mailed, or left at the Premises as herein provided. Any notice, request,
demand
or communication by Lessee
to
Lessor must be
served
by registered or certified mail addressed to Lessor, at the address set forth
below, or at such other address as Lessor shall designate by notice given
as
herein provided, and the time of giving such notice, request, demand or
communication shall be deemed
to
be the
time when the same is mailed as herein provided.
16.9
Waivers. No
waiver
by Lessor of any provision hereof shall be deemed a waiver of any other
provision hereof or of any subsequent
breach by Lessee of the same or any other provision. Lessor's consent to
or
approval of any act shall not be deemed to render
unnecessary the obtaining of Lessor's consent to or approval of any subsequent
act by Lessee. The acceptance of rent hereunder
by Lessor shall not be a waiver of any preceding breach at the time of
acceptance of such rent. No payment by Lessee or receipt
by Lessor of a lesser amount than the monthly rent herein stipulated shall
be
deemed to be other than on account of the earliest
stipulated rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any
letter accompanying any check or payment as rent
be
deemed an accord and satisfaction and Lessor may accept such check or payment
without prejudice to Lessor's right to recover
the balance of such rent or pursue any other remedy in this Lease
provided.
16.10
Recording.
Lessee
shall not record this Lease or a short form memorandum thereof without Lessor's
prior consent, and any
such
recordation without Lessor's prior consent shall, at the option of Lessor,
constitute a non-curable default of Lessee hereunder.
Lessee and Lessor shall execute and acknowledge a short form memorandum of
this
Lease for recording purposes in form
and
content acceptable to both parties.
16.11
Holding Over.
If
Lessee remains in possession of the Premises or any part thereof after the
expiration of the term hereof without
the express consent of Lessor, such occupancy shall be a tenancy from
month-to-month at a rental equal to one and one-half (1 1/2) the amount of
the
last monthly rental plus all other charges payable hereunder, and upon all
the
terms hereof applicable to a month-to-month
tenancy.
16.12
Cumulative Remedies.
No
remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed exclusive but shall, wherever
possible, be cumulative
with all other remedies at law or in equity.
16.13
Covenants and Conditions.
Each
provision of this Lease performable by Lessee shall be deemed both a covenant
and a condition.
16.14
Binding Effect; Choice of Law.
Subject
to any provisions hereof restricting assignment, encumbrancing or subletting
by
Lessee and subject to the provisions of Paragraph 16.2, this Lease shall
bind
the parties, their personal representatives, successors and assigns. This
Lease
shall be governed by the laws of the State in which the Premises are
located.
12
16.15
Subordination.
(a) This
Lease, at Lessor’s option, shall be subordinate or superior to any ground lease,
mortgage, deed of trust, or any other hypothecation
for security now or hereafter placed upon the real property of which the
Premises is a part and to any and all advances made
on
the security thereof and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations,
replacements and extensions thereof.
(b) Lessee
agrees to execute any documents required to effectuate such subordination
or to
make this Lease prior to the lien of any
mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, as the case may be, provided Lessor
shall furnish Lessee with a reasonably acceptable
non-disturbance agreement.
(c) Subject
to all of the provisions of this Lease, including without limitations this
Paragraph 16.15, Lessee agrees to attorn to a lender or any other party who
acquires ownership of the Premises by reason of a foreclosure.
16.16
Attorneys' Fees.
(a) In
the
event that Lessor should bring suit for the possession of the Premises, for
the
recovery of any sum due under this Lease, or because of the breach of any
provision of this Lease, or for any other relief against Lessee hereunder,
then
all costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Lessor therein shall be paid by Lessee,
which obligation on the part of Lessee shall be deemed to have accrued on
the
date of the commencement of such action and shall be enforceable
whether or not the action is prosecuted to judgement.
(b) Should
Lessor be named as a defendant in any suit brought against Lessee in connection
with or arising out of Lessee's occupancy
hereunder, Lessee shall pay to Lessor its costs and expenses incurred in
such
suit, including reasonable attorneys' fees.
(c) Lessor
and Lessee covenant and agree that in any suit or proceeding arising out
of,
under, or by virtue of this Lease, Lessor and
Lessee do hereby waive trial by jury.
16.17
Lessor's Access. (See Addendum-Paragraph 34.)
Lessor
and Lessors agents shall have the right to enter the Premises at
reasonable times for the purpose of inspecting the same, showing the same
to
prospective purchasers, or lenders, or lessees, and making
such alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises or to
the
building of which they are a part as may be reasonable
required pursuant hereto. Lessor may at any time place on or about the Premises
any ordinary "For Sale" signs and Lessor
may at any time during the last 120 days of the term hereof place on or about
the Premises any ordinary "For Lease" signs, all without
rebate of rent or liability to Lessee.
16.18
Signs and Auctions. (See Addendum-Paragraph 28.)
Lessee
shall not place any sign upon the Premises or conduct any auction
thereon without Lessors prior consent.
16.19
Merger.
The
voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, or a mutual cancellation
hereof, or a termination by Lessor,
shall not work as a merger, and shall, at the option of Lessor, terminate
all or
any existing subtenancies or may, at the option of
Lessor, operate as an assignment to Lessor of any or all of such
subtenancies.
16.20

behalf of said corporation in accordance with a duly adopted resolution of
the
Board of Directors of said corporation or in accordance with the Bylaws of
said
corporation, and that this
Lease is binding upon said corporation in accordance with its terms. If Lessee

after execution of this Lease, deliver to Lessor a certified copy of a
resolution of the Board of Directors of said corporation authorizing or
ratifying the execution of this Lease.
16.21

Upon
Lessee paying the fixed rent reserved hereunder and observing and performing
all
of the covenants,
conditions and provisions on Lessee's part to be observed and performed

13
16.24
Common Areas and Building Costs.
As used
herein, "Common Areas" shall mean all areas within the building and grounds
which are not specifically leased or held for lease by Lessor, including,
without limiting the foregoing, parking areas, driveways,
sidewalks, loading areas, access and egress roads, corridors, landscaped
and
planted areas and all other improvements provided by Lessor for the common
use
of lessees. Lessor may from time to time change the size, location, nature,
and
use of any of the Common Areas including converting any portion of the Common
Areas to leasable areas and increasing or decreasing common area land and/or
facilities.
Lessee,
its employees, agents, customers, and business invitees shall have the
non-exclusive right (in common with other lessees and
all
others whom Lessor has granted or may grant such rights) to use the Common
Areas
for the purposes intended, subject to such reasonable rules and regulations
relating to such use as Lessor may from time to time establish. Lessee agrees,
after notice thereof, to abide by such rules and regulations and to use its
best
efforts to cause its officers, employees, agents, customers, and business
invitees to conform thereto. Lessor may at any time close any Common Areas
to
effect construction, repairs, or changes thereto,
or to prevent the acquisition of public rights in such areas, and may do
such
other acts in and to the Common Areas as in its judgement
may be desirable to improve the convenience thereof. Lessee shall not at
any
time interfere with the rights of Lessor, or other lessees, or of any person
entitled to use the Common Areas or to use any part thereof.
Lessor
shall operate, manage, equip, clean, sweep, remove refuse, light, patrol,
repair, replace, and maintain the Common Areas for
their
intended purposes in such manner as Lessor shall in its sole discretion
determine to be reasonably appropriate.
Lessee
shall pay to Lessor, in the manner provided in the following paragraph hereof,
Lessee's pro-rata share of all the costs of operating, managing, leasing,
maintaining, repairing, and replacing the Common Areas and the building of
which
the Premises forms a part. Such costs shall include all costs and expenses
incurred by Lessor for the operation and maintenance of the Common Areas
and
the
building of which the Premises forms a part during the Lease term (including
appropriate reserves) including, without limiting the
foregoing: costs and expenses of gardening and landscaping; water and sewage
charges; maintenance and signs (other than Lessee's
signs); premiums for liability, property damage, fire and other types of
casualty and worker's compensation insurance (including,
but not limited to, liability insurance procured by Lessor pursuant to Paragraph
8.2); all taxes levied on or attributable to the
Common Areas and the building of which the Premises forms a part (including,
but
not limited to, "real property taxes" as defined in
Paragraph 10.2 and 10.4); fees for required licenses and permits; management
and similar
administrative fees; costs and expenses
of repairs, resurfacing, repaving, maintenance, painting, lighting, cleaning,
refuse removal, security, parking attendants, and other items.
Lessee's
pro-rata share of the costs referred to in the previous subparagraph shall
be
reasonably determined by Lessor and such reasonable
determination made in good faith shall be conclusive. Lessee's annual pro-rata
share as estimated by Lessor shall be paid
as
additional rent in monthly installments, in advance, on the first day of
each
calendar month of the Lease term after commencement
thereof (pro-rated for any fractional month). Lessor shall deliver to Lessee
within sixty (60) days after the expiration of
each
calendar year a reasonably detailed statement showing Lessee's share of the
actual costs incurred during the preceding year. If Lessee's payments under
this
Paragraph 16.24 during said preceding year exceed Lessee's pro-rata share
as
indicated on said statement,
Lessee shall be entitled to credit the amount of such overpayment against
Lessee's pro-rata share of such costs next falling
due. If Lessee's payments under this Paragraph during said preceding year
were
less than Lessee's pro-rata share as indicated on
said
statement, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the amount of the deficiency as additional
rent within ten (10) days after delivery by Lessor to Lessee of said
statement.
17. Hazardous
Materials. (See Addendum-Paragraph 28.)
17.1
Reportable Uses Require Consent.
The term
"Hazardous Substance" as used in this Lease shall mean any product, substance,
chemical, material or waste whose presence, nature, quantity and/or intensity
of
existence, use, manufacture, disposal, transportation,
spill, release or effect, either by itself or in combination with other
materials expected to be on the Premises, is either: (i)
potentially injurious to the public health, safety or welfare, the environment,
or the Premises; (ii) regulated or monitored by any governmental
authority; or (iii) a basis for potential liability of Lessor to any
governmental agency or third party under any applicable statute
or common law theory. Hazardous Substance shall include, but not be limited
to,
hydrocarbons, petroleum, gasoline, crude oil or any products or by-products
thereof. Lessee shall not engage in any activity in or about the Premises
which
constitutes a Reportable
Use (as hereinafter defined) of Hazardous Substances without the express
prior
written consent of Lessor and compliance in a timely manner (at Lessee's
sole
cost and expense) with all Applicable Requirements (as defined In Paragraph
17.4). "Reportable Use"
shall mean (i) the installation or use of any above or below ground storage
tank, (ii) the generation, possession, storage, use, transportation,
or disposal of a Hazardous Substance that requires a permit from, or with
respect to which a report, notice, registration
or business plan is required to be filed with, any governmental authority,
and
(iii) the presence in, on or about the Premises
of a Hazardous Substance with respect to which any applicable laws require
that
a notice be given to persons, entering or occupying the Premises or neighboring
properties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee may, without Lessor's prior
consent, but upon notice to Lessor and in compliance with all Applicable
Requirements, use any ordinary and customary materials reasonably required
to be
used by Lessee
in
the normal course of the Permitted Use, so long as such use is not a Reportable
Use and does not expose the Premises
or neighboring properties to any meaningful risk of contamination or damage
or
expose Lessor to any liability therefor.
In addition, Lessor may (but without any obligation to do so) condition its
consent to any Reportable Use of any Hazardous Substance
by Lessee upon Lessee's giving Lessor such additional assurances as Lessor,
in
its reasonable discretion, deems necessary
to protect itself, the public, the Premises and the environment against damage,
contamination or injury and/or liability therefor,
including but not limited to the installation (and,
at
Lessor's option, removal on or before Lease expiration or earlier termination)
of reasonably necessary protective modifications to the Premises (such as
concrete encasements) and/or the deposit of an
additional Security Deposit under Paragraph 5 hereof.
14
17.2
Duty to Inform Lessor.
If
Lessee knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, that a Hazardous Substance
has
come to be located
in, on, under or about the Premises or the Building, other than as previously
consented to by Lessor, Lessee shall immediately
give Lessor written notice thereof, together with a copy of any statement,
report, notice, registration, application, permit, business plan, license,
claim, action, or proceeding given to, or received from, any governmental
authority or private party concerning the
presence, spill, release, discharge of, or exposure to, such Hazardous Substance
including but not limited to all such documents as may be involved in any
Reportable Use involving the Premises. Lessee shall not cause or permit any
Hazardous Substance to be spilled
or released in, on, under or about the Premises (including, without limitation,
through the plumbing or sanitary sewer system).
17.3
Indemnification.
Lessee
shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold Lessor, its agents, employees,
lenders
and ground lessor, if any, and the Premises, harmless from and against any
and
all damages, liabilities, judgements, costs, claims, liens, expenses, penalties,
loss of permits and attorneys' and consultants' fees arising out of or involving
any Hazardous Substance brought onto the Premises by or for Lessee or by
anyone
under Lessee's control. Lessee's obligations under this Paragraph 17.3 shall
include, but not be
limited to, the effects of any contamination or injury to person, property
or
the environment created or suffered by Lessee,
and the cost
of
investigation (including consultants' and attorneys' fees and testing), removal,
remediation, restoration and/or abatement thereof,
or of any contamination therein involved, and shall survive the expiration
or
earlier termination of this Lease. No termination, cancellation
or release agreement entered into by Lessor and Lessee shall release Lessee
from
its obligations under this Lease with respect to Hazardous Substances, unless
specifically so agreed by Lessor in writing at the time of such
agreement.
17.4 Lessee's
Compliance with Requirements.
Lessee
shall, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, fully, diligently and in a timely
manner,
comply with all "Applicable Requirements," which term is used in this Lease
to
mean all laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, directives, covenants, easements
and restrictions of record, permits, the requirements of any applicable fire
insurance underwriter or rating bureau, and the recommendations of Lessor's
engineers and/or consultants, relating in any manner to the Premises (including
but
not
limited to matters pertaining to (i) industrial hygiene, (ii) environmental
conditions on, in, under or about the Premises, including
soil and groundwater conditions, and (iii) the use, generation, manufacture,
production, installation, maintenance, removal, transportation, storage,
spill,
or release of any Hazardous Substance), now in effect or which may hereafter
come into effect. Lessee shall,
within five (5) days after receipt of Lessor's written request, provide Lessor
with copies of all documents and information, including but not
limited to permits, registration, manifests, applications, reports and
certificates, evidencing Lessee's compliances, reports
and certificates, evidencing Lessee's compliance with any Applicable
Requirements specified by Lessor, and shall immediately
upon receipt, notify Lessor in writing (with copies of any documents involved)
of any threatened or actual claim, notice, citation,
warning, complaint or report pertaining to or involving failure by Lessee
or the
Premises to comply with any Applicable Requirements
18.
Examination Lease. Submission
of this instrument for examination or signature by Lessee does not constitute
a
reservation of or option
for lease, and it is not effective as a lease or otherwise until execution
and
delivery by both Lessor and Lessee. The parties hereto
have executed this Lease as of the date first set forth above. The Addendum
attached containing Paragraphs 19-38 is incorporated
as a part of this Lease. In the event of any conflict between the printed
portion of the Lease and the typed Addendum, the typed Addendum provisions
shall
prevail. (See Addendum-Paragraphs 19-37.)
