PREMISES; TERM
Landlord hereby leases and demises to Tenant and Tenant hereby takes and leases from Landlord the Premises identified in Article 1 for a term (“Term”) commencing on the Commencement Date and ending on the Expiration Date set forth in Article 1, unless sooner terminated as provided herein, subject to the provisions herein contained. Upon either party’s request, the Commencement Date, the Rent Commencement Date and the Expiration Date shall be confirmed by execution of the Commencement Date Confirmation in the form as set forth in Exhibit C. For all purposes of this Lease, Landlord and Tenant stipulate that the rentable square footage of the
-5-
Premises and each portion thereof is as set forth in Article 1. If Landlord, for any reason whatsoever, does not deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on the scheduled Delivery Date, this Lease shall not be void or voidable and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, but in such event, the Delivery Date shall be postponed until the date on which Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant in the condition required by Section 5.A below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord does not deliver the Premises to Tenant with Landlord’s Work substantially completed: (i) on or before July 1, 2014 (the “First Delivery Deadline”) (which date is subject to extension for force majeure events pursuant to the terms of Article 25 below), then Tenant shall be entitled to a credit against the Rent due hereunder in an amount equal to one (1) day of Monthly Rent for each day after the First Delivery Deadline until the earlier of July 31, 2014 or the day the Premises are delivered to Tenant with Landlord’s Work substantially completed, (ii) on or before August1, 2014 (the “Second Delivery Deadline”) (which date is subject to extension for force majeure events pursuant to the terms of Article 25 below), then Tenant shall be entitled to a credit against the Rent due hereunder in an amount equal to two (2) days of Monthly Rent for each day after the Second Delivery Deadline until the earlier of August 31, 2014 or the day the Premises are delivered to Tenant with Landlord’s Work substantially completed, and (iii) on or before September 1, 2014 (the “Termination Date”) (which date is subject to extension for force majeure events pursuant to the terms of Article 25 below), then Tenant, as Tenant’s sole remedy, may terminate this Lease upon written notice thereof to Landlord at least fifteen (15) days in advance of Tenant’s proposed termination date, and this Lease shall terminate as of such termination date unless Landlord substantially completes Landlord’s Work and delivers the Premises to Tenant on or before Tenant’s proposed termination date. Subject to any temporary shutdown for repairs, for security purposes, for compliance with any Laws (as defined below), or due to strikes, lockouts, labor disputes, fire or other casualty, acts of God, acts of terror, or other causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, Tenant shall have access to the Premises twenty-four (24) hours a day, each day of the Term. Any space in the Premises used for shafts, stacks, pipes, conduits, ducts, electric or other utilities, sinks or other Building facilities, and the use thereof and access thereto through the Premises for the purposes of operation, maintenance and repairs, are reserved to Landlord. During the period between the Delivery Date and the Commencement Date (the “Early Access Period”), Tenant shall have access to the Premises for the purposes of the design, construction and installation of Tenant’s Work and Tenant’s furniture, fixtures and equipment in the Premises. Tenant’s possession of the Premises during the Early Access Period shall be on all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease which are applicable after the Commencement Date, except that Tenant shall not be required to pay Monthly Rent or Tenant’s Share of Taxes and Operating Expenses during the Early Access Period.
ARTICLE 3.
RENT
A. Monthly Rent. Commencing as of the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay Monthly Rent in the amount set forth in Schedule 1 attached hereto in advance on or before the first day of each calendar month of the Term. If the Rent Commencement Date shall occur on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, or if the Term shall end on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, the Monthly Rent for the partial month shall be prorated on a per diem basis.
-6-
B. Additional Rent. All costs and expenses which Tenant assumes or agrees to pay and any other sum payable by Tenant pursuant to this Lease (other than Monthly Rent), including, without limitation, Tenant’s Share of Taxes and Operating Expenses, shall be deemed Additional Rent, and all remedies applicable to the nonpayment of Monthly Rent shall be applicable thereto.
C. Rent. Monthly Rent and Additional Rent are herein referred to collectively as “Rent”. Landlord may apply payments received from Tenant to any obligations of Tenant then accrued, without regard to such obligations as may be designated by Tenant. Upon signing this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to the Monthly Rent for the first full calendar month of the Term in which Monthly Rent is payable, which amount Landlord shall apply to the Monthly Rent for such first full calendar month.
D. Place of Payment, Late Charge, Default Interest. Rent and other charges required to be paid under this Lease, no matter how described, shall be paid by Tenant to the lockbox location designated by Landlord, or to such other person or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing, without any prior notice or demand therefor and without deduction or set-off or counterclaim or, except as expressly provided in this Lease, abatement. At Tenant’s election, Tenant’s payment of Rent and other charges required to be paid under this Lease may be made by means of wire transfer to an account designated by Landlord for such purpose. In the event Tenant fails to pay any Rent due under this Lease when due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge of five percent (5) on the amount overdue. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall waive the first such late charge in any calendar year, so long as Tenant pays such overdue amount within five (5) days following Landlord’s written notice to Tenant that the same is past due. Any Rent not paid when due shall also bear interest at the Default Rate from the date due until the date received by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall waive the first such interest charge in any calendar year, so long as Tenant pays such overdue amount within five (5) days following Landlord’s written notice to Tenant that the same is past due.
ARTICLE 4.
TAXES AND OPERATING EXPENSES
A. Payment of Taxes and Operating Expenses. Commencing as of the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Taxes (collectively, “Expenses”) incurred by Landlord during each Lease Year. To implement the foregoing, promptly following the commencement of the Term and prior to the commencement of each subsequent Lease Year (or as soon thereafter as practicable), Landlord shall estimate the Expenses payable by Tenant for such Lease Year pursuant to this Section. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on the first day of each month, in advance, one-twelfth (1/12) of Landlord’s estimated amount. If at any time during the course of the year Landlord determines that the Expenses payable by Tenant will vary from the then estimated amount, by notice to Tenant Landlord may revise the amount payable by Tenant during the balance of the Lease Year such that the total estimated additional amount due from Tenant for such Lease Year is paid by Tenant during the
-5-
balance of the Lease Year in equal monthly amounts. Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the close of each Lease Year, or as soon thereafter as practicable, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a statement to account for any difference between the actual and the estimated Expenses for the previous Lease Year. If such statement is not given for any Lease Year, Tenant shall continue to pay on the basis of the prior Lease Year’s estimate until the month after such notice is given. Landlord’s annual statement shall be final and binding upon Tenant unless, within ninety (90) days after delivery thereof to Tenant, Tenant shall contest any item therein by written notice to Landlord, specifying each item contested and the reason therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Taxes included in any such annual statement may be modified by any subsequent adjustment or retroactive application of Taxes affecting the calculation of Expenses. If Tenant has overpaid the amount of Expenses owing pursuant to this Article, Landlord shall credit the overpayment against Tenant’s next payments due under this Article. If Tenant has underpaid the amount of Expenses owing pursuant to this Article, Tenant shall pay the amount of the underpayment to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s statement. If the rentable area of the Building or the Project is not fully occupied during any Lease Year, Expenses for such Lease Year shall be adjusted to equal Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the Expenses which would have been incurred during such Lease Year if the total rentable area of the Building and Project were occupied. Landlord’s delay in submitting any statement contemplated herein for any Lease Year shall not affect the provisions of this Article, nor constitute a waiver of Landlord’s rights as set forth herein for said Lease Year or any subsequent Lease Years during the Term or any extensions thereof. If the Term ends on a day other than the last day of a Lease Year, the amounts payable by Tenant under this Article 4 applicable to the Lease Year in which the end of the Term occurs shall be prorated on the basis which the number of days from the commencement of such Lease Year to and including the date on which the end of the Term occurs bears to three hundred sixty-five (365).
B. Tenant Audit Right. If Tenant desires to dispute or question an amount shown on the annual statement, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of such desire within ninety (90) days after Tenant’s receipt of the annual statement. If Tenant does not give Landlord such notice within such time, Tenant shall have waived its right to dispute or question the annual statement. Promptly after the receipt of such written notice from Tenant, Landlord and Tenant shall endeavor in good faith to resolve such dispute or address Tenant’s questions, as the case may be. Regardless of whether any such dispute or question shall exist, Tenant shall have the right to cause a nationally or regionally recognized independent certified public accountant designated by Tenant, to be paid on an hourly and not a contingent fee basis, to audit the annual statement or any amounts shown thereon, provided that Tenant (i) notifies Landlord in writing of Tenant’s intention to exercise such audit right within ninety (90) days after Tenant’s receipt of the annual statement, (ii) actually begins such audit within forty-five (45) days after the notice from Tenant to Landlord advising Landlord that Tenant will require an audit (provided that such forty-five (45) day period within which the audit must be commenced shall be extended by the length of any delay in the commencement of the audit that is caused by Landlord) and (iii) diligently pursues such audit to completion as quickly as reasonably possible. Landlord agrees to make available to Tenant’s auditors, at Landlord’s office in the Building or at such other location in the San Francisco Bay Area as Landlord shall determine, the books and records relevant to the audit for review and copying (including accounting records on magnetic tape or diskette), but such books and records (and tapes and diskettes) may not be removed from Landlord’s offices.
-6-
Tenant shall bear all costs of such audit, including Landlord’s actual copying costs and personnel costs, if any incurred in connection with such audit (provided that, prior to incurring any personnel costs in connection with any such audit, Landlord shall advise Tenant of Landlord’s anticipated personnel costs so that Tenant may, at Tenant’s option, modify Tenant’s activities with regard to such audit in order to preclude the need for Landlord to incur such personnel costs), except that, if the audit (as conducted and certified by the auditor) shows an aggregate overstatement of Expenses of five percent (5%) or more, and Landlord’s auditors concur in such findings (or, in the absence of such concurrence, such overstatement is confirmed by a court of competent jurisdiction or such other dispute resolution mechanism as to which the parties mutually agree in writing), then Landlord shall bear all costs of the audit. If the agreed or confirmed audit shows an underpayment of Expenses by Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after the audit is agreed to or confirmed, the amount owed to Landlord, and, if the agreed or confirmed audit shows an overpayment of Expenses by Tenant, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for such overpayment within thirty (30) days after the audit is agreed to or confirmed.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, Tenant’s audit rights under this Section 4.B. shall be conditioned upon (i) Tenant having paid the total amounts billed by Landlord under this Article 4 within the time stipulated herein for payment (including, without limitation, the contested amounts) and (ii) Tenant and its auditor executing, prior to the commencement of the audit, a confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord in which Tenant and its auditor shall agree to keep confidential, and not disclose to any other party, except as required by applicable Law, the results of any such audit or any action taken by Landlord in response thereto.
C. Personal Property and Other Taxes. Tenant shall pay, at least ten (10) days before delinquency, any and all taxes, fees, charges or other governmental impositions levied or assessed against Landlord or Tenant (a) upon Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures, and other personal property located in the Premises, (b) by virtue of any Alterations made by Tenant to the Premises, and (c) upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises. If any such fee, charge or other governmental imposition is paid by Landlord, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s payment upon demand.
D. Net Lease. This shall be a Net Lease and Monthly Rent shall be paid to Landlord absolutely net of all costs and expenses except as expressly herein provided. The provisions for Tenant’s payment of Tenant’s Share of Expenses are intended to pass on to Tenant and reimburse Landlord for Tenant’s Share of all costs and expenses associated with the Project, except as expressly provided in this Lease.
-7-
ARTICLE 5.
CONDITION OF PREMISES ON COMMENCEMENT
DATE; ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS
A. Condition of Premises on Commencement Date. Prior to the Delivery Date, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense Landlord shall substantially complete Landlord’s Work as set forth in Section 5.E. below. Except for Landlord’s Work, the Ground Floor Lobby Work (as defined in Section 5.E. below), the Ceiling and Carpet Work (as defined in Section 5.E.), and the Meter Installation Work (as defined in Section 7.A.), Tenant shall accept the Premises on the Delivery Date in its then “as-is” condition, and Landlord shall have no obligation to make or, except as provided in Section 5.B below, pay for any alterations, additions or improvements to prepare the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy pursuant to this Lease. Neither Landlord nor Landlord’s agents have made any representations or warranties with respect to the condition of the Building, the Project, the Land, the present or future suitability or fitness of the Premises, the Building or the Project for the conduct of Tenant’s particular business, or any other matter or thing affecting or related to the Premises, the Building or the Project, and no rights, easements or licenses are acquired by Tenant by implication or otherwise except as expressly set forth in this Lease. Any improvements or personal property located in the Premises are delivered without any representation or warranty from Landlord, either express or implied, of any kind, including, without limitation, title, merchantability, or suitability or a particular purpose.
B. Tenant’s Work; Landlord’s Allowance; Test Fit Allowance. Landlord acknowledges that Tenant intends to perform certain initial Alterations (as defined in Section 5.C. below) to the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy pursuant to this Lease. Such initial Alterations are referred to herein as ‘Tenant’s Work”. Tenant shall complete all of Tenant’s Work in good and workmanlike manner, by a general contractor (the “Contractor”) and subcontractors approved by Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, fully paid for and free from liens, in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by Landlord and Tenant, and in compliance with the provisions of Section 5.C. below. Subject to Landlord’s approval and the provisions of Section 5.C. below, Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall have the right to install its own security system within the Premises, so long as such security system is compatible with the fire and life safety systems of the Building, as determined by Landlord, and as part of its security system work described above, Tenant may install key card readers in locations approved by Landlord. If Tenant installs any of the security features described above, Tenant shall provide Landlord with key cards to access such areas.
Landlord shall contribute toward the reasonable cost of the construction and installation of Tenant’s Work an aggregate amount not to exceed Landlord’s Allowance set forth in the Basic Provisions of Article 1; provided, however, that no portion of Landlord’s Allowance may be used for Monthly Rent, Additional Rent or other amounts payable pursuant to this Lease, personal property, equipment, or trade fixtures (except as hereinafter provided) or otherwise applied on account of amounts owing by Tenant to Landlord hereunder; provided, however, that a portion of the Landlord’s Allowance not in excess of Seven Dollars ($7.00) per rentable square foot of the Premises may be used by Tenant for the purchase, delivery and installation of Tenant’s furniture, fixtures, equipment and trade fixtures to be used by Tenant in the Premises.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.B., Landlord’s Allowance shall be available for disbursement pursuant to the terms hereof only until March 31, 2015. Accordingly, if any portion of Landlord’s Allowance is not requested by Tenant, together with Tenant’s delivery to Landlord of all lien releases and other documents required hereunder as a condition to Landlord’s disbursement thereof, prior to March 31, 2015, such unused portion shall be forfeited by Tenant.
-8-
If the cost of construction of Tenant’s Work exceeds the funds available therefor from Landlord’s Allowance, then Tenant shall pay all such excess (the “Excess Cost”). Based on the estimated cost (the “Estimated Costs”) of the construction of Tenant’s Work, the prorata share of the Estimated Costs payable by Landlord and Tenant shall be determined and an appropriate percentage share established for each (a “Share of Costs”). Tenant and Landlord shall fund the cost of such work as the same is performed, in accordance with their respective Share of Costs for such work. At such time as Landlord’s Allowance with respect to Tenant’s Work has been entirely disbursed, Tenant shall pay the remaining Excess Cost, if any, which payments shall be made in installments as construction progresses in the same manner as Tenant’s payments of Tenant’s Share of Costs were paid.
Landlord shall disburse Landlord’s Allowance directly to Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of (A) invoices of Contractor furnished to Landlord by Tenant covering work actually performed, construction in place and materials delivered to the site (as may be applicable) describing in reasonable detail such work, construction and/or materials, (B) conditional lien waivers executed by Contractor, subcontractors or suppliers, as applicable, for their portion of the work covered by the requested disbursement, and (C) unconditional lien waivers executed by Contractor, subcontractors or suppliers, as applicable, for those performing the work or supplying the materials covered by Landlord’s previous disbursements for the work or materials covered by such previous disbursements (all such waivers to be in the forms prescribed by California Civil Code Sections 8132 and 8134). No payment will be made for materials or supplies not incorporated into the construction, regardless of whether the materials or supplies are located on the Premises. Landlord may withhold the amount of any and all retentions provided for in original contracts or subcontracts until expiration of the applicable lien periods or Landlord’s receipt of unconditional lien waivers and full releases upon final payment (in the form prescribed by California Civil Code Section 8138) from Tenant’s Contractor and all subcontractors and suppliers involved in Tenant’s Work. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall Landlord be obligated to disburse any portion of Landlord’s Allowance (i) during any period that Tenant is in breach of or in default under this Lease, or (ii) for any Tenant’s Work (or other permitted associated costs) in space Tenant intends to sublease prior to Tenant’s initial occupancy of such space for the conduct of Tenant’s business.
The Reimbursable Costs pursuant to Section 5.C. below shall be payable to Landlord with respect to Tenant’s Work; provided, however, that the Reimbursable Costs payable by Tenant to Landlord with respect to Tenant’s Work shall not exceed two percent (2%) of the total “hard” construction cost of Tenant’s Work (i.e., excluding architectural, engineering and permit fees). At the time Landlord makes any disbursement of Landlord’s Allowance, Landlord shall retain from Landlord’s Allowance, as a partial payment of the Reimbursable Costs, the Reimbursable Costs incurred to date by Landlord with respect to Tenant’s Work. At such time as Landlord’s Allowance has been entirely disbursed, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s written demand from time to time, pay to Landlord the remainder, if any, of the Reimbursable Costs theretofore due and not yet paid to Landlord. Upon completion of Tenant’s Work, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with invoices and other documentation reasonably required by Landlord to evidence the total cost of Tenant’s Work.
-9-
In addition to Landlord’s Allowance, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant up to $0.10 per rentable square foot of the Premises (i.e., $6,471.90) towards the architectural costs incurred by Tenant for a “test-fit” preliminary plan of the Premises. Landlord shall make such reimbursement to Tenant promptly after Landlord’s receipt from Tenant of the test-fit drawings.
C. Alterations. Tenant shall make no alterations, additions or improvements (“Alterations”; which term shall include Tenant’s Work) to the Premises without the prior written consent of the Landlord, which consent Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay. Landlord shall either approve or disapprove any proposed contractors and plans and specifications for the Tenant Work and any Alterations within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of Tenant’s request therefor together with all information reasonably required by Landlord with respect thereto. All Alterations shall be made at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (including the expense of complying with all Laws, including those regarding Hazardous Materials, if applicable, and the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, as heretofore amended and as amended from time to time (the “ADA”) and Title 24 requirements), in a good and workmanlike manner, by a contractor reasonably approved by Landlord. Tenant, at Tenant’s expense (or, at Landlord’s election, Landlord at Tenant’s expense) shall perform any work required to be performed in areas outside the Premises by reason of the Alterations. Tenant shall submit to Landlord, for Landlord’s prior written approval, complete plans and specifications for all work to be done by Tenant. Such plans and specifications shall be prepared by responsible licensed architect(s) and engineer(s) approved in writing by Landlord, shall comply with all applicable Laws, shall not adversely affect the Base Building Components (as defined in Section 12.B. below), shall be in a form sufficient to secure the approval of all government authorities with jurisdiction over the approval thereof, and shall be otherwise satisfactory to Landlord in Landlord’s reasonable discretion. Tenant shall provide Landlord advance written notice of the licensed architect(s) and engineer(s) whom Tenant proposes to engage to prepare such plans and specifications. Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing whether Landlord approves or disapproves such architect(s) and engineer(s). Landlord’s approval or consent to any such work shall not impose any liability upon Landlord, and no action taken by Landlord in connection with such approval, including, without limitation, attending construction meetings of Tenant’s contractors, shall render Tenant the agent of Landlord for purposes of constructing any Alterations. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s written demand for Landlord’s reasonable out of pocket expenses in connection with any Alterations, such as additional cleaning expenses, additional security services, fees and charges paid to third party architects, engineers and other consultants for review of the work and the plans and specifications with respect thereto, and to monitor contractor compliance with Building or Project construction requirements, and for other miscellaneous reasonable out of pocket costs incurred by Landlord as result of the work (collectively, “Reimbursable Costs”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Reimbursable Costs for any Alteration exceed two percent (2%) of the total hard costs of such Alteration. Any Alterations, including, without limitation, moveable partitions that are affixed to the Premises (but excluding moveable, free standing partitions) and all carpeting, shall at once become part of the Building and the property of Landlord. Except as Landlord shall otherwise agree in writing as respects any particular Alterations, at Landlord’s sole election made in writing at the time the Alterations in question are consented to by Landlord (or, with respect to Cosmetic Alterations, within ten (10) Business Days after Tenant gives Landlord notice thereof), any or all Alterations made for or by Tenant shall be removed by Tenant from the Premises at the expiration or sooner termination of this
-10-
Lease and the Premises shall be restored by Tenant to their condition prior to the making of the Alterations, ordinary wear and tear excepted; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be required to remove any Alterations that are of a type and quantity that would reasonably be installed by or for a typical tenant using space for general office purposes in a normal and customary manner.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right, without Landlord’s consent, to make any Alteration that meets all of the following criteria (a “Cosmetic Alteration”): (a) the Alteration is decorative in nature (such as paint, carpet or other wall or floor finishes, movable partitions or other such work), (b) at least ten (10) days prior to commencement of work with respect to such Alteration, Tenant provides Landlord with plans with respect thereto or, if the Alteration is of such a nature that formal plans will not be prepared for the work, Tenant provides Landlord with a reasonably specific written description of the work, (c) such Alteration does not affect the Base Building Components or any structural components of the Building, and such Alteration is not visible from the exterior of the Premises, (d) the work will not decrease the value of the Premises, does not require a building permit or other governmental permit, uses only new materials comparable in quality to those being replaced and is performed in a workmanlike manner and in accordance with all Laws, (e) the work does not involve opening the ceiling of the Premises, (f) the work does not involve any Hazardous Materials other than incidental quantities of the same in normal and customary construction materials, such as paint, and (g) the total cost of the Alteration, including architectural and engineering fees, if any, does not exceed Sixty-Six Thousand Dollars ($66,000.00).
Tenant hereby acknowledges that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Landlord is not and shall not be deemed to be a “participating owner” with respect to any Alterations (including, without limitation, Tenant’s Work). Prior to commencement of any work at the Premises, Tenant shall obtain from all contractors, subcontractors, laborers, materialmen, and suppliers performing work in the Premises for Tenant a writing or writings duly executed by authorized representatives of such contractors, subcontractors, laborers, materialmen, or suppliers containing the following language or substantially identical provisions:
“Contractor acknowledges and agrees that it is performing a work of improvement on a Tenant’s leasehold interest and agrees to limit any right to impose a mechanic’s or materialman’s lien to Tenant’s leasehold interest. Contractor further agrees that the work of improvement is not being performed at Landlord’s insistence, is not being performed for the benefit of Landlord or Landlord’s ownership (fee) interest, and that Landlord is not directing Contractor’s work. Contractor further agrees that Landlord is not participating in the work of improvement or in Tenant’s enterprise. Contractor further agrees that it will provide Landlord with written notice of commencement of work within three (3) business days following commencement, so that Landlord may timely post a Notice of Non-Responsibility. Contractor waives and relinquishes the benefit of the “participating owner” doctrine as stated in California law, and further waives and relinquishes any right it may otherwise have had to impose any mechanic’s or materialman’s lien on Landlord’s ownership interest in the property.”
-11-
D. Liens. Tenant shall give Landlord at least ten (10) days prior written notice (or such additional time as may be necessary under applicable Laws) of the commencement of any Tenant’s Work or any other Alterations, to afford Landlord the opportunity of posting and recording notices of non-responsibility. Tenant shall not cause or permit any mechanic’s, materialman’s or similar liens or encumbrances to be filed or exist against the Premises or the Building or Tenant’s interest in this Lease in connection with work done by Tenant under this Article or in connection with any other work done by Tenant. Tenant shall remove any such lien or encumbrance by bond or otherwise within ten (10) days from the date of their existence. If Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may pay the amount or take such other action as Landlord deems necessary to remove any such lien or encumbrance, without being responsible to investigate the validity thereof. The amounts so paid and costs incurred by Landlord shall be deemed Additional Rent under this Lease and payable in full upon demand.
E. Landlord’s Work; Ground Floor Lobby Work; Ceiling and Carpet Work. Landlord, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, shall substantially complete the following improvements to the Building prior to delivery of the Premises to Tenant (collectively, “Landlord’s Work”): (i) restrooms on both floors refreshed to include new vanities, mirrors, lighting and paint, including a shower; and (ii) such work, if any, as shall be required to put the Base Building Components (as defined in Section 12.B. below) in good working order. In addition, after delivery of the Premises to Tenant but prior to the Commencement Date, Landlord, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, shall substantially complete a finished ground floor lobby in the Building with an adjacent unisex restroom (the “Ground Floor Lobby Work”). In addition, after delivery of the Premises to Tenant and within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s notice to Landlord requesting that Landlord perform the following work, Landlord, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, shall substantially complete the following improvements to the Premises: (x) new 2’ x 2’ suspended ceiling on both floors of the Premises, with 2’ x 4’ LED lights, and with approximately 30% of the ceiling on the second floor open to the structure above with pendant LED lights; and (y) installation of carpet tile on approximately 100% of the flooring on both floors of the Premises (collectively, the “Ceiling and Carpet Work”). Landlord’s Work, the Ground Floor Lobby Work and the Ceiling and Carpet Work shall be constructed using Building standard materials and finishes (or such other materials and finishes as Landlord and Tenant shall agree), in a good and workmanlike manner, and in compliance with all Laws, including, without limitation, ADA and Title 24 requirements. Landlord’s Work, the Ground Floor Lobby Work, and the Ceiling and Carpet Work shall be deemed “substantially complete” when it has been completed substantially in accordance with the plans applicable thereto, subject only to completion of any incomplete or defective work or materials in Landlord’s Work, the Ground Floor Lobby Work or the Ceiling and Carpet Work, as applicable, which do not materially impair Tenant’s construction of Tenant’s Work. Tenant acknowledges that the Ground Floor Lobby Work, the Ceiling and Carpet Work, and any remaining items of Landlord’s Work may be performed by Landlord following the Delivery Date during and/or after Normal Business Hours, as Landlord shall elect. Landlord and Tenant agree to cooperate with each other in order to enable the Ground Floor Lobby Work, the Ceiling and Carpet Work and any remaining items of Landlord’s Work to be performed in a timely manner and with as little inconvenience to Tenant’s completion of the Tenant’s Work as is reasonably possible. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any delay in the completion of the Ground Floor Lobby Work, Landlord’s Work, or the Ceiling and Carpet Work or inconvenience suffered by Tenant in the Premises during the performance of the Ground Floor Work, Landlord’s Work,
-12-
or the Ceiling and Carpet Work shall not subject Landlord to any liability for any loss or damage resulting therefrom or entitle Tenant to any credit, abatement or adjustment of rent or other sums payable under the Lease, except that (I) the Rent Commencement Date shall be delayed one (1) day for each day that Tenant is actually delayed in substantial completion of Tenant’s Work as a result of Landlord’s performance of the Ground Floor Lobby Work after the Commencement Date, other than such delays attributable to Tenant Delay, and (II) the Rent Commencement Date shall be delayed one (1) day for each day that Tenant is actually delayed in substantial completion of Tenant’s Work as result of Landlord’s failure to substantially complete the Ceiling and Carpet Work within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s request that Landlord perform the same, other than delays in substantial completion of the Ceiling and Carpet Work attributable to Tenant Delay; provided that in each case of clauses (I) and (II) above Tenant shall give Landlord at least two (2) Business Days’ notice of the delay in Tenant’s Work so claimed by Tenant and Landlord shall fail to alleviate the circumstances giving rise to such delay by the expiration of such two (2) Business Day period. Tenant shall upon demand reimburse Landlord for any expenses incurred by Landlord as the result of a Tenant Delay. As used herein, “Tenant Delay” means Tenant’s interference with Landlord’s performance of the Ground Floor Lobby Work or the Ceiling and Carpet which continues for more than two (2) Business Days after Landlord’s notice thereof to Tenant.
ARTICLE 6.
USE
A. Use. Subject to and to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, Tenant shall use the Premises for general office and administrative purposes, for research and development purposes, including computer labs, light assembly, shipping and receiving purposes, and for such other purposes as shall be permitted by applicable Laws and shall be consistent with the first class character of the Building and the Project, and for no other purpose whatsoever, subject to and in compliance with all other provisions of this Lease, including, without limitation, the Building’s Rules and Regulations attached as Exhibit B hereto. In the event of any conflict between the Rules and Regulations and the balance of this Lease, the balance of this Lease shall control. Landlord makes no representation or warranty that applicable Laws permit the Premises to be used for any of the foregoing specified purposes, and any restrictions or prohibitions on any such uses of the Premises shall not diminish Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent or perform Tenant’s other obligations under this Lease. Tenant and its invitees shall also have the non-exclusive right, along with other tenants of the Building and others authorized by Landlord, to use the Common Areas subject to such rules and regulations as Landlord in its discretion may impose from time to time. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to give Tenant any exclusive use rights with respect to the Buildings or any other portion of the Project.
B. Restrictions. Tenant shall not at any time use or occupy or permit anyone to use or occupy, the Premises or do or permit anything to be done in the Premises which: (a) causes or is liable to cause injury to persons, to the Building or its equipment, facilities or systems; (b) impairs or tends to impair the character, reputation or appearance of the Building as a first class office building or the Project as a first class office project; (c) impairs or tends to impair the proper and economic maintenance, operation and repair of the Building or its equipment, facilities or systems; or (d) annoys or inconveniences or tends to annoy or inconvenience other tenants or occupants of the Building or the Project.
-13-
C. Compliance with Laws. Tenant shall not permit the Premises to be used in violation of or in conflict with, and at its sole cost and expense shall promptly comply with, all Laws (including, without limitation, the ADA and Title 24 requirements) insofar as any thereof relate to or affect the condition, use or occupancy of the Premises (including Alterations therein), and Tenant shall perform all work to the Premises and other portions of the Project required to effect such compliance (or, at Landlord’s election, Landlord may perform such work to portions of the Project outside of the Premises at Tenant’s expense). Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Tenant shall not be required to perform or pay for any changes to the Base Building Components (as defined in Article 12 below) unless such changes are related to or affected or triggered by (i) Tenant’s Alterations, including Tenant’s Work, (ii) Tenant’s particular use of the Premises (as opposed to Tenant’s use of the Premises as permitted hereunder in a normal and customary manner), (iii) Tenant’s particular employees or employment practices, The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Tenant in any actions against Tenant, whether Landlord be a party thereto or not, that Tenant has so violated any Law, shall be conclusive of such violation as between Landlord or Tenant.
ARTICLE 7.
SERVICES
A. Utilities and Services. Subject to the final three sentences of this Section 7. A., Landlord shall furnish the Premises with sufficient quantities of water, electricity and gas required for the normal and customary use of the Premises as permitted hereunder, twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning services (“HVAC”) during Normal Business Hours or such extended hours as Tenant shall request (including twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week if so requested by Tenant) from time to time upon reasonable prior notice to Landlord. There shall be no after-hours charge or other charge to Tenant for HVAC service after Normal Business Hours, other than Tenant’s obligation to pay for the utilities consumed by reason thereof as hereinafter set forth. Prior to the Commencement Date, Landlord, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, shall cause the Premises to be separately sub-metered for electricity and gas (the “Meter Installation Work”), and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s demand from time to time (which may be on a monthly basis), for the cost of electricity and gas consumed at the Premises as measured by such sub-meters. Such sub-meters shall exclude electricity and gas consumed by the cafeteria described in Section 7.B. below, and the costs of electricity, gas, water, and other utilities consumed by the cafeteria shall be included in Operating Expenses as set forth in said Section 7.B. below. Tenant acknowledges that water serving each of the Buildings is not separately metered, but rather measured by one water meter for all of the Buildings, and the costs of water so measured shall be allocated to each Building as an Operating Expense as provided in Section 29.L. below. Except as set forth above, Tenant shall arrange for all telephone, janitorial services, and other utilities and services which it shall require in connection with its use or occupancy of the Premises and shall pay for the same by direct payment to the provider thereof, together with any taxes, penalties, surcharges or the like pertaining thereto. Except as expressly provided above, Landlord shall have no obligation to furnish any utilities or services to the
-14-
Premises or any equipment providing for the same. Tenant shall be solely responsible for any supplemental HVAC to the Premises as Tenant shall require for the comfortable occupancy thereof, and Tenant shall also be responsible for the installation, maintenance and repair of any supplemental life safety systems required by reason of Tenant’s particular equipment or particular use or manner of use of the Premises. Except as provided pursuant to Section 12.B. below, Tenant shall maintain, repair and replace all such items, operate the same, and keep the same in good working order and condition. Tenant shall not install any equipment or fixtures, or use the same, so as to exceed the safe and lawful capacity of any utility equipment or lines serving the same. The installation, alteration, replacement or connection of any utility equipment and lines, and any other equipment or systems or Alterations which Tenant shall require in order to supply supplemental HVAC or other services, shall be subject to the provisions of Section 5.C. above. Tenant shall ensure that all Tenant’s supplemental HVAC equipment, is installed and operated at all times in a manner to prevent roof leaks, damage, or noise due to vibrations or improper installation, maintenance or operation. Tenant shall obtain, at its expense all electric light bulbs, ballasts and tubes as it shall require for the Premises. Landlord shall not be liable for any damages directly or indirectly resulting from nor shall the Monthly Rent, Operating Expenses or any other monies owed by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease be abated or reduced by reason of (a) the installation, use or interruption of use of any equipment used in connection with the furnishing of any of the foregoing utilities and services, (b) failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any such utilities or services for any reason whatsoever, or (c) the limitation, curtailment, rationing or restriction on use of water, electricity, gas or any other form of energy or any other service or utility whatsoever serving the Premises or the Project. Landlord shall be entitled to cooperate voluntarily and in a reasonable manner with the efforts of national, state or local government agencies or utility suppliers in reducing energy or other resource consumption. Tenant’s utilization of utilities and services shall be subject to the limitations of any such voluntary, reasonable program that Landlord shall implement for the Project that does not require Tenant to spend any additional monies or modify Tenant’s business within the Premises as a result thereof.
B. Cafeteria. A cafeteria located in the Building is made available to Tenant and other tenants of the Project. The cafeteria is operated by a third party operator. The costs (including, without limitation, rental subsidies, if any, costs of electricity, gas, water and other utilities) associated with the cafeteria, whether operated by Landlord or a third party operator, shall in any event be included in Operating Expenses. The provisions of Article 9 shall fully apply in connection with use of the cafeteria by Tenant or any other Tenant Party (as defined in Article 9). Without limitation of the preceding sentence, Tenant shall hold Landlord and its agents, successors and assigns, including its Project Manager, harmless from and indemnify Landlord and its agents, successors and assigns, including its Project Manager, against any and all Claims (as defined in Article 9) to the extent arising from (a) the acts or omissions of Tenant or any other Tenant Party in, on or about the cafeteria, or (b) any accident, injury or damage, howsoever and by whomsoever caused, to any Tenant Party, occurring in, on or about the cafeteria, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord. Landlord may prescribe rules and regulations for the use of the cafeteria, including, without limitation, with respect to reservations for meetings and other functions. Tenant’s use of the cafeteria shall be conditioned upon Tenant’s observance of such rules and regulations. Tenant acknowledges that the cafeteria may, from time to time, be temporarily closed during the Term including, without limitation, closures due to (i) remodeling, improvement work or repair work, (ii) changes in the
-15-
cafeteria operator, (iii) cessation of operations by the cafeteria operator, (iv) compliance with applicable Law, (v) casualty or condemnation and (vi) matters beyond Landlord’s reasonable control. Landlord shall use its good faith efforts to reasonably address and remediate any reasonable complaints by Tenant with respect to odors emitting from the cafeteria.
C. Interruptions. Any interruption or discontinuance of utilities or the services and appurtenances described in this Article 7 or otherwise in this Lease shall not be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises, or any part thereof, nor render Landlord liable to Tenant for damages by abatement of the Rent or otherwise, nor relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1932(1) or any other applicable existing or future Law permitting the termination of this Lease due to such interruption or discontinuance.
ARTICLE 8.
INSURANCE
A. Tenant’s Required Insurance. Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall maintain the following insurance coverages with responsible companies licensed to do business in the state where the Building is located and reasonably satisfactory to Landlord: (i) “special form” property insurance which shall be primary (and non-contributory) on any Alterations performed by or on behalf of Tenant and Tenant’s property, including, but not limited to, its goods, equipment and inventory, in an amount adequate to cover their full replacement cost; (ii) business interruption insurance for a period of not less than two hundred seventy (270) days, (iii) commercial general liability insurance on an as occurrence basis with limits of liability in an amount not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) combined single limit for each occurrence and Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) annual aggregate, in each case for bodily injury and property damage liability and personal injury liability, (iv) employer’s liability coverage of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence, (v) Worker’s Compensation Insurance as required by Law, and (vi) any other form of forms of insurance as any Lender of Landlord may reasonably require from time to time in form, in amounts and for insurance risks against which a prudent tenant would protect itself and which is customarily required by lenders of landlords of similar buildings located in the vicinity of the Premises. The commercial general liability policy shall include contractual liability which includes the provisions of Article 9 herein, and contain severability of interest and cross liability clauses.
On or before the Commencement Date, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord and its Project Manager, certificates and/or policies of insurance evidencing the aforesaid insurance coverages. All such policies and certificates (other than Worker’s Compensation Insurance) shall name as additional insureds Landlord, Landlord’s Project Manager, Tenant, any Lender of Landlord, and such other parties as Landlord shall reasonably require, as their respective interests may appear. Renewal certificates must be furnished to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of such insurance policies showing the above coverage to be in full force and effect.
All such insurance shall be in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and provide that it cannot be canceled or reduced in coverage except upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord. Tenant shall comply with all rules and directives of any insurance board, company or agency determining rates of hazard coverage for the Premises, including but not limited to the installation of any equipment and/or the correction of any condition necessary to prevent any increase in such rates.
-16-
B. Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant each agree that neither Landlord nor Tenant will have any claim against the other for any loss or damage to property which is covered by the insurance carried by either party and for which recovery from such insurer is made (or for which recovery would be made if the party had carried the insurance required of it pursuant to this Lease), notwithstanding the negligence of either party in causing the loss. Each party hereto shall cause each property damage insurance policy obtained by it to provide that the insurance company waives all rights of recovery by way of subrogation against the other respective party in connection with any matter covered by such policy. For purposes hereof, any deductible amount shall be treated as though it were recoverable under such policies.
C. Waiver of Claims. Except for claims arising from Landlord’s willful misconduct (but subject, as to such excepted claims, to Section 8.B. above), Tenant waives all claims against Landlord for injury or death to persons, damage to property or to any other interest of Tenant sustained by Tenant or any party claiming, through Tenant resulting from: (i) any occurrence in or upon the Premises, (ii) leaking of roofs, bursting, stoppage or leaking of water, gas, sewer or steam pipes or equipment, including sprinklers, (iii) wind, rain, snow, ice, flooding, freezing, fire, explosion, earthquake, excessive heat or cold, or other casualty, (iv) the Building, Premises, or the operating and mechanical systems or equipment of the Building, being defective, or failing, and (v) vandalism, malicious mischief, theft or other acts or omissions of any other parties including without limitation, other tenants, contractors and invitees at the Building. Tenant agrees that Tenant’s property loss risks shall be borne by its insurance, and Tenant agrees to look solely to and seek recovery only from its insurance carriers in the event of such losses.
D. Landlord’s Required Insurance. Landlord shall obtain and keep in full force and effect during the Term, at its own cost and expense (i) commercial general liability insurance to afford protection against any and all claims for personal injury, death or property damage occurring in or upon the Common Areas or any part thereof, in such amounts as Landlord shall reasonably determine; and (ii) insurance covering the Project, excluding footings and foundations, against loss or damage by fire and such other risks and hazards as are insured under then available standard forms of fire insurance policies (excluding, at Landlord’s option, perils such as earthquake, terrorism, flood and other standard “special form” policy exclusions), for the full insurable value thereof as determined by Landlord; in each such case with deductible amounts reasonably determined by Landlord.
ARTICLE 9.
INDEMNIFICATION
Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord and its agents, successors and assigns, including its Project Manager, from and against all injury, loss, costs, expenses, claims or damage (including attorney’s fees and disbursements) (collectively, “Claims”) to any person or property arising from, related to, or in connection with any use or occupancy of the Premises by, or any act or omission (including, without limitation, construction and repair of the Premises
-17-
arising out of Tenant’s Work any subsequent Alterations) of, Tenant, its agents, contractors, employees, customers, and invitees (together with Tenant, collectively, “Tenant Parties”), which indemnity also extends to any and all claims arising from any breach or default in the performance of any obligation on Tenant’s part to be performed under the terms of this Lease. This indemnification shall survive the expiration or termination of the Term.
Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any damage by or from any act or negligence of any co-tenant or other occupant of the Building, or by any owner or occupants of adjoining or contiguous property. Landlord shall not be liable for any injury or damage to persons or property resulting in whole or in part from the criminal activities or willful misconduct of others. To the extent not covered by Landlord’s special form property insurance, Tenant agrees to pay for all damage to the Building, as well as all damage to persons or property of other tenants or occupants thereof, caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any Tenant Parties. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to relieve Landlord from liability for any personal injury resulting from its gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, Landlord shall not be liable for any consequential damages or interruption or loss of business, income or profits, nor shall Landlord be liable for loss of or damage to artwork, currency, jewelry, unique or valuable documents, securities or other valuables, or for other property not in the nature of ordinary fixtures, furnishings and equipment. Wherever in this Lease Tenant (a) releases Landlord from any claim or liability, (b) waives or limits any right of Tenant to assert any claim against Landlord or to seek recourse against any property of Landlord or (c) agrees to indemnify Landlord against any matters, the relevant release, waiver, limitation or indemnity shall run in favor of and apply to Landlord, the constituent shareholders, partners or other owners of Landlord, and the directors, officers, employees and agents of Landlord and each such constituent shareholder, partner or other owner.
ARTICLE 10.
CASUALTY DAMAGE
Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord or the Project Manager of any fire or other casualty to the Premises or to the extent it knows of damage, to the balance of the Building. In the event the Premises or any substantial part of the Building is wholly or partially damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty which is fully covered by Landlord’s insurance and for which such insurance proceeds are made available to Landlord by its Lender, Landlord will proceed to restore the same to substantially the same condition existing immediately prior to such damage or destruction unless such damage or destruction is incapable of repair or restoration within two hundred ten (210) days from the date of the fire or other casualty (or ninety (90) days if the fire or other casualty occurs during the final one hundred eighty (180) days of the Term), as determined by Landlord, in which event Landlord may, at Landlord’s option and by written notice given to Tenant within sixty (60) days of such damage or destruction, declare this Lease terminated as of the happening of such damage or destruction. If in Landlord’s reasonable opinion the net insurance proceeds recovered by Landlord and made available by Landlord’s Lender by reason of the damage or destruction will not be adequate to complete the restoration of the Building, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease and all unaccrued obligations
-18-
of the parties hereto by sending a notice of such termination to Tenant. To the extent that, after the fire or other casualty, Tenant shall be deprived of the use and occupancy of the Premises or any portion thereof as a result of any such damage, destruction or the repair thereof, Tenant shall be relieved of the same ratable portion of the Monthly Rent hereunder as the amount of damaged or useless space in the Premises bears to the rentable square footage of the Premises until such time as the Premises may be restored; provided, however, that if Tenant or any Tenant Party caused the fire or other casualty, Monthly Rent shall not be reduced unless Tenant pays the deductible amount, if any, under Landlord’s rental loss insurance. Landlord shall reasonably determine the amount of damaged or useless space and the square footage of the Premises referenced in the prior sentence.
In the event that (i) the Premises or any of the Common Areas necessary for Tenant to use and occupy the Premises are damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, (ii) Landlord reasonably determines that such damage or destruction is incapable of repair or restoration within two hundred seventy (270) days from the date of the fire or other casualty (or ninety (90) days if the fire or other casualty occurs during the final one hundred eighty (180) days of the Term), and (iii) Landlord does not exercise its right to terminate this Lease pursuant to the foregoing provisions, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease as respects the applicable Building(s) by written notice to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s written notice setting forth Landlord’s estimate of the repair and restoration period. Tenant hereby waives California Civil Code Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4), providing for termination of hiring upon destruction of the thing hired and Sections 1941 and 1942, providing for repairs to and of premises.
ARTICLE 11.
CONDEMNATION
In the event of a condemnation or taking of the entire Premises by a public or quasi-public authority, this Lease shall terminate as of the date title vests in the public or quasi-public authority. In the event of a taking or condemnation of fifteen percent (15%) or more of the Building and without regard to whether the Premises are part of such taking or condemnation, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease by giving notice to Tenant within sixty (60) days of Landlord receiving notice of such condemnation. All compensation awarded for any condemnation or taking shall be the property of Landlord, whether such damages shall be awarded as a compensation for diminution in the value of the leasehold or to the fee of the Premises, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of Tenant’s right, title and interest in and to any and all such compensation; provided, however that in the event this Lease is terminated as to any portion of the Premises, Tenant shall be entitled to make a separate claim for the taking of Tenant’s personal property (including fixtures paid for by Tenant), and for costs of moving. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any condemnation or taking award to Tenant shall be available only to the extent such award is payable separately to Tenant and does not diminish the award available to Landlord or any Lender of Landlord and such award shall be limited to the amount of Rent actually paid by Tenant to Landlord for the period of time for which the award is given. Any additional portion of such award shall belong to Landlord. In the event of a partial taking of the Premises which does not result in a termination of this Lease in its entirety, the Monthly Rent, Tenant’s Share and Project Share hereunder shall be equitably reduced.
-19-
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all or any portion of the Premises is taken for a period of time of ninety (90) days or less ending prior to the end of the Term of this Lease, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Tenant shall continue to pay all rent and to perform all of its obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to all compensation, damages, income, rent awards and interest thereon that is paid or made in connection with such temporary taking of the Premises (or portion thereof), except that any such compensation in excess of the rent or other amounts payable to Landlord hereunder shall be promptly paid over to Landlord as received. Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1265.130 and any other applicable existing or future Law providing for, or allowing either party to petition the courts of the state in which the Project is located for, a termination of this Lease upon a partial taking of the Premises and/or the Building.
ARTICLE 12.
REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE
A. Tenant’s Obligations. Except as provided in Section 12.B. below, Tenant shall keep the Premises in good working order, repair and condition (which condition shall be neat, clean and sanitary, and free of pests and rodents) and shall make all necessary repairs thereto, normal wear and tear and damage by fire or other casualty excepted. Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall include but not be limited to Tenant’s trade fixtures and equipment, security systems, signs, interior decorations, floor-coverings, wall-coverings, entry and interior doors, interior glass, light fixtures and bulbs, keys and locks, and Alterations to the Premises whether installed by Tenant or Landlord, including Tenant’s supplemental HVAC and fire and life safety systems, if any. Tenant waives all rights to make repairs at the expense of Landlord as provided by any Laws now or hereafter in effect. It is specifically understood and agreed that, except as specifically set forth in this Lease, Landlord has no obligation and has made no promises to alter, remodel, improve, repair, decorate or paint the Premises or any part thereof, and that no representations respecting the condition of the Premises or the Building have been made by Landlord to Tenant. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of California Civil Code Sections 1932(1), 1941 and 1942 and of any similar Law now or hereafter in effect.
B. Landlord’s Obligations. Landlord shall maintain in good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted, the roof, foundations, floor slabs and exterior walls of the Building, and all Building systems, including, without limitation, elevator, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, security, fire and life safety and power, and the electrical and gas sub-meters serving the Premises and the balance of the Building (collectively, the “Base Building Components”), except that Base Building Components shall exclude, and Tenant shall be obligated to maintain and repair, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, any supplemental systems (including supplemental air-conditioning systems and supplemental fire and life safety systems), and equipment used in connection therewith, installed specifically for Tenant, as part of Tenant’s initial Alterations to the Premises or any subsequent Alterations. The term walls as used herein shall not include windows, glass or plate glass, doors, special store fronts or office entries. The term roof as used
-20-
herein shall not include skylights, smoke hatches or roof vents. Landlord shall also maintain in good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted, the Common Areas, including, but not limited to, the landscaped areas, parking areas, driveways and the cafeteria. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s costs of complying with its obligations under this Section 12.B. in accordance with Article 4 above. Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to make repairs or to perform any maintenance unless such failure shall persist for an unreasonable time after written notice of the need for such repairs or maintenance is received by Landlord from Tenant. For the purposes of this Section 12.B., Landlord shall be deemed to have let such failure persist for an unreasonable time if: Landlord does not commence to cure such failure within ten (10) Business Days of written notice thereof from Tenant (or, in the case of any failure which creates an emergency condition at the Premises and is prominently characterized as such in Tenant’s notice to Landlord, within three (3) Business Days of receipt of such notice, which may be verbal in such a case of emergency) and which is not then cured by Landlord within thirty (30) days of the date of such written notice (or in such shorter period as may be reasonably possible in the case of an emergency); provided, however, that such failure shall not be deemed an unreasonable time period if the failure cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day time period and Landlord diligently pursues such cure to completion following the expiration of such thirty (30) day period. Landlord shall make every reasonable effort to perform all such repairs or maintenance in such a manner (in its judgment) so as to cause minimum interference with Tenant and the Premises but Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any interruption or loss of business pertaining to such activities. Subject to Section 8.b. above, Landlord shall have the right to require that any damage caused by the willful misconduct of Tenant or any of Tenant’s agents, contractors, employees, invitees or customers, be paid for and performed by Tenant (without limiting Landlord’s other remedies herein).
C. Signs and Obstructions. Tenant shall not obstruct or permit the obstruction of light, halls, Common Areas, roofs, parapets, stairways or entrances to the Building or the Premises and will not affix, paint, erect or inscribe any sign, projection, awning, signal or advertisement of any kind to any part of the Building or the Premises, including the inside or outside of the windows or doors, without the written consent of Landlord. Landlord shall have the right to withdraw such consent at any time and to require Tenant to remove any sign, projection, awning, signal or advertisement to be affixed to the Building or the Premises.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (including, without limitation, costs and expenses to construct any such signage to the extent the same does not exist as of the date of this Lease), and subject to Tenant’s compliance with applicable Laws, shall be entitled to the following signage: (i) Tenant’s name and logo on the Project standard monument sign at the street by the Building’s driveway; (ii) directional signage outside of the Building; (iii) building signage for Tenant’s name and logo on the exterior of the Building at a mutually agreed upon location; and (iv) lobby signage in the lobby of the Building (collectively, “Tenant’s Signage”). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Landlord shall have the right to institute a new signage program for the Project that replaces all or any portion of Tenant’s Signage provided that Landlord pays for the cost of changing out such signage, in which event the term Tenant’s Signage as used herein shall mean such replacement signage and shall not include the signage that Landlord replaced. Tenant’s right to use Tenant’s Signage shall remain in place only so long as (l)the Tenant hereunder shall be the Tenant originally named in this Lease, (2) no default has occurred and is continuing under this Lease,
-21-
and (3) Tenant shall be in occupancy of at least eighty percent (80%) of the portion of the Premises located in the applicable Building to which the signage applies. Except for Tenant’s Signage, Tenant shall have no other right to maintain any signage at any other location in, on or about the Premises or the Project and shall not display or erect any sign, display or other advertising material that is visible from the exterior of the Premises, unless such signage is approved by Landlord in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion.
Tenant’s Signage, and any changes to Tenant’s Signage, shall be subject to Landlord’s approval (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) as to the design, size, color, material, content, location and illumination, shall be appropriate for a first class office building in the Project, shall be in conformity with the overall design and ambiance of the Project, and shall comply with all applicable Laws. Tenant shall be responsible for obtaining any governmental permits or approvals required for Tenant’s Signage (and, if approved by Landlord, any new Tenant signage), all at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant’s repair, maintenance, construction and/or improvement of Tenant’s Signage (and, if approved by Landlord, any new Tenant signage) shall be at its sole cost and expense and shall comply with all applicable Laws, the requirements applicable to construction of Alterations pursuant to this Lease, and such other reasonable rules, procedures and requirements as Landlord shall impose with respect to such work, including insurance coverage in connection therewith. Any cost or reimbursement obligations of Tenant under this Section 12.C, including with respect to the installation, maintenance or removal of Tenant’s Signage, shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, or the earlier termination of Tenant’s right to have Tenant’s Signage by Landlord’s written notice to Tenant by reason of Tenant’s failure to meet the occupancy or other requirements applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing, Tenant shall remove Tenant’s Signage (and any other signage subsequently installed by Tenant) at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, and repair and restore to good condition the areas of the Building or Project on which the signage was located or that were otherwise affected by such signage or the removal thereof, or at Landlord’s election, Landlord may perform any such removal and/or repair and restoration and Tenant shall pay Landlord the reasonable cost thereof within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s demand. If any signs, projections, awnings, signals or advertisements is installed by Tenant in violation of this Section 12.C, or done by Tenant through any person, firm or corporation not approved by Landlord, Landlord shall have the right to remove such signs, projections, awnings, signals or advertisements without being liable to the Tenant by reason thereof and to charge the cost of such removal to Tenant as Additional Rent, payable within ten (10) days of Landlord’s demand therefor.
D. Outside Services. Tenant shall not permit, except by Landlord or a person or company satisfactory to and approved by Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed: (i) the extermination of vermin in, on or about the Premises; (ii) the servicing of heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment; (iii) the collection of rubbish and trash other than in compliance with local government health requirements and in accordance with the rules and regulations established by Landlord, which shall minimally provide that Tenant’s rubbish and trash shall be kept in containers located so as not to be visible to members of the public and in a sanitary and neat condition; or (iv) window cleaning, janitorial services or similar work in the Premises.

ARTICLE 13.
INSPECTION OF PREMISES
Landlord may, at any and all reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice (provided that no advance notice need be given if an emergency (as determined by Landlord in its good faith judgment) necessitates an immediate entry or prior to entry to provide routine services), enter the Premises to (a) inspect the same and to determine whether Tenant is in compliance with its obligations hereunder, (b) supply any service Landlord is required to provide hereunder, (c) show the Premises to prospective lenders, purchasers or tenants, (d) post notices of non-responsibility, and (e) alter, improve or repair the Premises or any other portion of the building or Project. In connection with any such alteration, improvement or repair, Landlord may erect in the Premises or elsewhere in the Project scaffolding and other structures reasonably required for the work to be performed. In no event shall such entry or work entitle Tenant to an abatement of rent, constitute an eviction of Tenant, constructive or otherwise, or impose upon Landlord any liability whatsoever, including, but not limited to, liability for consequential damages or loss of business or profits by Tenant. Landlord shall use good faith efforts to cause all such work to be done in such a manner as to cause as little interference to Tenant as reasonably possible without incurring additional expense. Landlord shall at all times retain a key with which to unlock all of the doors in the Premises, except Tenant’s vaults and safes. If an emergency necessitates immediate access to the Premises, Landlord may use whatever force is necessary to enter the Premises and any such entry to the Premises shall not constitute a forcible or unlawful entry into the Premises, a detainer of the Premises, or an eviction of Tenant from the Premises, or any portion thereof.
ARTICLE 14.
SURRENDER OF PREMISES
Upon the expiration of the Term, or sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall quit and surrender to Landlord the Premises, broom clean, in good order and condition, normal wear and tear and damage by fire and other casualty excepted, and prior to the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease Tenant shall remove from the Premises any Alterations that Tenant is required by Landlord to remove under the provisions of this Lease, and all of Tenant’s furniture, equipment and other personal property (including, without limitation, all voice and data and other wiring and cabling) and trade fixtures. Any property not removed shall be deemed to have been abandoned by Tenant and may be retained or disposed of by Landlord at Tenant’s expense free of any and all claims of Tenant, as Landlord shall desire. All property not removed from the Premises by Tenant may be handled or stored by Landlord at Tenant’s expense and Landlord shall not be liable for the value, preservation or safekeeping thereof At Landlord’s option all or part of such property may be conclusively deemed to have been conveyed by Tenant to Landlord as if by xxxx of sale without payment by Landlord. Neither the provisions of this Article 14 nor any other provision of this Lease shall impose upon Landlord any obligation to care for or preserve any of Tenant’s property left upon the Premises, and Tenant hereby waives and releases Landlord from any claim or liability in connection with the removal of such property from the Premises and the storage thereof and specifically waives the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542 with respect to such release. Tenant hereby waives to the maximum extent allowable the benefit of all laws now or hereafter in force in this state or elsewhere exempting property from liability for rent or for debt.
-23-
ARTICLE 15.
HOLDING OVER
Tenant shall pay Landlord one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Monthly Rent and one hundred percent (100%) of the Additional Rent payable under this Lease during the last full month prior to the date of the expiration of this Lease, prorated on a per diem basis, for each day Tenant shall retain possession of the Premises or any part thereof after expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, together with all damages sustained by Landlord on account thereof. The foregoing provisions shall not serve as permission for Tenant to hold-over, nor serve to extend the Term (although Tenant shall remain bound to comply with all provisions of this Lease until Tenant vacates the Premises) and Landlord shall have the right at any time thereafter to enter and possess the Premises and remove all property and persons therefrom. Without limitation of the foregoing, if Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against the following Claims incurred by or asserted against Landlord and arising from Tenant’s failure to timely surrender the Premises or any portion thereof: (i) the amount of any delayed delivery rent abatements and/or rent credits granted by Landlord to any successor tenant of the Premises or any portion thereof, and/or any amounts payable by Landlord to any such successor tenant by reason of such successor tenant’s termination of its lease as a result of Landlord’s failure to timely deliver the Premises or any portion thereof by reason of such failure by Tenant to timely surrender the Premises, and (ii) Landlord’s damages (including lost rent) as a result of such successor tenant rescinding or terminating its lease of the Premises or any portion thereof, or any prospective successor tenant refusing to enter into the prospective lease of the Premises or any portion thereof, by reason of such failure by Tenant to timely surrender the Premises; provided, however, as a condition to Tenant’s obligations under the foregoing indemnity, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of the existence of a successor tenant or prospective successor tenant for the Premises or any portion thereof, at least thirty (30) days prior to the date Landlord shall require Tenant’s surrender of the Premises, and Tenant shall not be responsible to Landlord under the foregoing indemnity if Tenant shall surrender the Premises on or prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period or, if later, the Expiration Date (it being agreed, however, that Landlord need not identify the successor tenant or prospective successor tenant by name in its notice, and it being further agreed that such notice may be given by Landlord prior to the Expiration Date).
ARTICLE 16.
SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT
A. Landlord’s and Tenant’s agreement with regard to Tenant’s right to transfer all or part of its interest in the Premises is as expressly set forth in this Article 16. Tenant agrees that, except upon Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not (subject to Landlord’s rights below) be unreasonably withheld, neither this Lease nor all or any part of the leasehold interest created hereby shall, directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or
-24-
otherwise, be assigned, mortgaged, pledged, encumbered or otherwise transferred by Tenant or Tenant’s legal representatives or successors in interest (collectively, an “assignment”) and neither the Premises nor any part thereof shall be sublet or be used or occupied for any purpose by anyone other than Tenant (collectively, a “sublease”). Any assignment or subletting without Landlord’s prior written consent shall, at Landlord’s option, be void and shall constitute a default by Tenant hereunder entitling Landlord to terminate this Lease and to exercise all other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease and at law.
B. In the event that during the Term, Tenant desires to assign this Lease or sublease the Premises or any portion thereof, Tenant shall give notice thereof to Landlord, which notice shall name the proposed assignee or subtenant and include all material information with respect thereto, including (i) an executed copy of the assignment or sublease agreement and any agreements ancillary thereto, (ii) current financial statements of the assignee or subtenant covering the preceding three (3) years, and (iii) a statement detailing all consideration to be given on account of the assignment or sublease as well as the proposed assignment or sublease agreement, and such other information as Landlord shall reasonably require. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed assignment or subletting. Landlord shall notify Tenant within ten (10) Business Days of Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice, the above information and any other information as Landlord shall reasonably require and request of Tenant within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of Tenant’s notice, as to which of the following actions Landlord elects to take:
(1) Landlord consents to the proposed assignment or subleasing, subject to execution of Landlord’s reasonable consent form by Tenant and the proposed assignee or subtenant;
(2) Landlord declines to consent to such assignment or subletting, and stating the reasonable reasons for Landlord’s decision, such as, without limitation, insufficient or unsatisfactory documentation furnished to Landlord to establish Tenant’s reputation, financial strength and/or proposed use of and operations upon the Premises; or
(3) Landlord, (i) in the event of an assignment of this Lease, elects to terminate this Lease effective as of the date such assignment would have become effective (and such termination date shall become the Expiration Date for purposes of this Lease), or (ii) in the event of a sublease, to terminate this Lease as it pertains to the portion of the Premises so proposed by Tenant to be sublet effective as of the date such sublease would have become effective (and such termination date shall become the Expiration Date for purposes of this Lease with respect to such portion of the Premises).
By way of example and without limitation, the failure to satisfy any of the following conditions or standards shall be deemed to constitute reasonable grounds for Landlord to refuse to grant its consent to a proposed assignment or subletting (“Transfer”):
(i) The proposed assignee or sublessee (“Transferee”) must expressly assume all of the provisions, covenants and conditions of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be kept and performed as they apply to the transferred space.
-25-
(ii) The proposed Transferee must satisfy Landlord’s then-current credit and other standards for tenants of the Building and, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, have the financial strength and stability to perform all of the obligations of the Tenant under this Lease (as they apply to the transferred space) as and when they fall due, taking into account for purposes of the foregoing that Tenant shall not be released or discharged from any liability under this Lease following such Transfer.
(iii) The proposed Transferee must be reasonably satisfactory to Landlord as to character and professional standing.
(iv) The proposed use of the Premises by the proposed Transferee must be, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion: (a) lawful; (b) in compliance with Article 6 of this Lease; (c) unlikely to cause an increase in insurance premiums for insurance policies applicable to the Building; (d) a use not requiring any new tenant improvements that Landlord would be entitled to disapprove pursuant to Article 5 hereof; (e) unlikely to cause any material increase in services to be provided to the Premises; (f) unlikely to create any materially increased burden in the operation of the Building, or in the operation of any of its facilities or equipment; (g) unlikely to impair the dignity, reputation or character of the Building; and (h) in the case of any Building not then configured for multi-tenant occupancy, not require the Building to be reconfigured as a multi-tenant Building and not require creation of any new Common Areas or multi-tenant corridors in the Building.
(v) At the time of the proposed Transfer, a default (as defined in Article 19 below) shall not have occurred and be continuing, and no event may have occurred that with notice, the passage of time, or both, would become a default.
(vi) The proposed Transferee shall not be a governmental entity or hold any exemption from the payment of ad valorem or other taxes that would prohibit Landlord from collecting from such Transferee any amounts otherwise payable under this Lease.
(vii) The proposed Transferee shall not be a then present tenant or affiliate or subsidiary of a then present tenant in the Building unless there is no other suitable space available in the Building.
(viii) Landlord shall not be negotiating with, and shall not have at any time within the past ninety (90) days negotiated with, the proposed Transferee or any affiliate or subsidiary thereof for space in the Project, unless there is no other suitable space available in the Project. For purposes of this subjection (viii), “negotiations” shall mean the exchange of draft letters of intent or a proposal and counter-proposal.
(ix) The proposed Transferee is an entity or related to an entity with whom Landlord or any affiliate of Landlord has had adverse dealings or is a competitor of Landlord or any affiliate of Landlord.
-26-
C. In the event that Landlord shall consent to any assignment or sublease, Landlord shall be entitled to receive, as Rent hereunder, fifty percent (50%) of any consideration (including, without limitation, payment for leasehold improvements) paid by the assignee or subtenant for the assignment or sublease and, in the case of a sublease, the excess of the amount of rent paid for the sublet space by the subtenant over the amount of Monthly Rent, Taxes and Operating Expenses payable by Tenant and attributable to the sublet space for the corresponding month; except that Tenant may first recapture any reasonable brokerage commissions paid by Tenant in connection with the subletting or assignment, reasonable marketing costs paid by Tenant in connection with the subletting or assignment, reasonable attorneys’ fees in connection with the subletting or assignment, any improvement allowance paid by Tenant to the subtenant or assignee and any improvement costs incurred by Tenant specifically to prepare the space for such assignment or subletting. Upon Landlord’s request during the continuance of any default by Tenant under this Lease, Tenant shall assign to Landlord all amounts to be paid to Tenant by any such subtenant or assignee and that belong to Landlord and shall direct such subtenant or assignee to pay the same directly to Landlord. If there is more than one sublease under this Lease, the amounts (if any) to be paid by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Article 16 shall be separately calculated for each sublease and amounts due Landlord with regard to any one sublease may not be offset against rental and other consideration pertaining to or due under any other sublease.
D. For purposes of this Article 16 (subject to Section 16.G. below), the following events shall be deemed an assignment or sublease, as appropriate: (i) the issuance of equity interests (whether stock, partnership interests or otherwise) in Tenant or any subtenant or assignee, or any entity controlling any of them, to any person or group of related persons, in a single transaction or a series of related or unrelated transactions, such that, following such issuance, such person or group shall have Control (as defined below) of Tenant or any subtenant or assignee; (ii) a transfer of Control of Tenant or any subtenant or assignee, or any entity controlling any of them, in a single transaction or a series of related or unrelated transactions (including, without limitation, by consolidation, merger, acquisition or reorganization), except that the transfer of outstanding capital stock or other listed equity interests through the “over the counter” market or any recognized national or international securities exchange (including transfers and issuances as part of an initial public offering of Tenant’s stock), shall not be included in determining whether Control has been transferred; (iii) a reduction of Tenant’s assets to the point that this Lease is substantially Tenant’s only asset; (iv) a change or conversion in the form of entity of Tenant, any subtenant or assignee, or any entity controlling any of them, which has the effect of limiting the liability of any of the partners, members or other owners of such entity; or (v) the agreement by a third party to assume, take over, or reimburse Tenant for, any or all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, in order to induce Tenant to lease space with such third party. For purposes of this paragraph, “Control” shall mean direct or indirect ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of all of the voting stock of a corporation or more than fifty percent (50%) of the legal or equitable interest in any other business entity, or the power to direct the operations of any entity (by equity ownership, contract or otherwise).
E. Whether or not Landlord shall consent to any proposed assignment or sublease, upon demand Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the proposed assignment or sublease. If Tenant claims or asserts that Landlord has failed to grant any approval required of it pursuant to this Article 16 or otherwise violated or failed to perform its obligations under this Article 16, Tenant’s sole remedy shall be an action for specific performance, declaratory judgment or injunction and in no event shall Tenant be entitled to any money damages in any action or by way of set off, defense or counterclaim and Tenant hereby specifically waives the right to any money damages or other such remedies for any such failure or violation.
-27-
F. In no case may Tenant assign Tenant’s Signage, any renewal, expansion, rights of first offer or other options under this Lease to any sublessee(s) hereunder or assignees hereof, all such options being deemed personal to the Tenant originally named under this Lease. Consent by Landlord hereunder shall in no way operate as a waiver by Landlord of, or to release or discharge Tenant from, any liability under this Lease or be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining Landlord’s consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting, transfer, use or occupancy.
G. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 16, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or any portion thereof, without Landlord’s consent, to any partnership, corporation or other entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Tenant or Tenant’s parent (control being defined for such purposes as ownership of at least fifty percent (50%) of the equity interests in, and the power to direct the management of, the relevant entity) or to any partnership, corporation or other entity resulting from a merger or consolidation with Tenant or Tenant’s parent, or to any person or entity that acquires substantially all the assets (including by means of a purchase of all or substantially all of Tenant’s stock, any such purchaser being a “Stock Purchaser”) of Tenant as a going concern (collectively, an “Affiliate”), provided that (i) Landlord receives at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of an assignment or subletting, together with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that the requirements of this paragraph have been met (and if such assignment or subletting is subject to a confidentiality obligation on Tenant’s part, upon Tenant’s request Landlord shall execute a reasonable form of confidentiality agreement with respect thereto), (ii) the Affiliate’s tangible net worth (other than in the case of an Affiliate that is a Stock Purchaser, in which case the following net worth test shall be applied to Tenant rather than the Affiliate) is not less than Ninety-Five Million Dollars ($95,000,000.00), (iii) except in the case of an assignment where the assignor is dissolved as a matter of law following the series of transactions of which the assignment is a part and where such assignor makes sufficient reserves for contingent liabilities (including its obligations under this Lease) as required by applicable Law, the Affiliate remains an Affiliate for the duration of the subletting or the balance of the Term in the event of an assignment, (iv) the Affiliate assumes (in the event of an assignment) in writing all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, (v) Landlord receives a fully executed copy of an assignment or sublease agreement between Tenant and the Affiliate at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of such assignment or sublease (and if such assignment or subletting is subject to a confidentiality obligation on Tenant’s part, upon Tenant’s request Landlord shall execute a reasonable form of confidentiality agreement with respect thereto) or, in the case of an assignment by merger or stock purchase, such later date (but no later than the effective date of the assignment) on which the assignment agreement (which may be the merger agreement or the stock purchase agreement if the assignment is effected by means thereof) is executed by the parties thereto, and (vi) in the case of an assignment, the essential purpose of such assignment is to transfer an active, ongoing business with substantial assets in addition to this Lease, and in the case of an assignment or sublease the transaction is for legitimate business purposes unrelated to this Lease and the transaction is not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Lease or the restrictions on assignment and subletting contained herein.
-28-
ARTICLE 17.
SUBORDINATION, ATTORNMENT AND MORTGAGEE PROTECTION
This Lease is subject and subordinate to all Mortgages now or hereafter placed upon the Building, and all other encumbrances and matters of public record applicable to the Building, including without limitation, any reciprocal easement or operating agreements, covenants, conditions and restrictions and Tenant shall not act or permit the Premises to be operated by Tenant or any Tenant Parties in violation thereof. If any foreclosure or power of sale proceedings are initiated by any Lender or a deed in lieu is granted (or if any ground lease is terminated), Tenant agrees, if any such Lender or any purchaser at such foreclosure sale shall acquire and accept the Building subject to this Lease, to attorn and pay Rent to such party and to execute and deliver any instruments necessary or appropriate to evidence or effectuate such attornment. In the event of attornment, no Lender shall be: (i) liable for any act or omission of Landlord, or subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against Landlord (prior to such Lender becoming Landlord under such attornment), (ii) liable for any security deposit or bound by any prepaid Rent not actually received by such Lender, or (iii) obligated to complete any alterations or improvements to be performed by Landlord or Tenant hereunder, or to pay for or otherwise disburse any tenant improvement allowance or other funds towards any alterations or improvements to be performed by Tenant hereunder, or (iv) bound by any modification of this Lease after the date of the Lender’s Mortgage not consented to by such Lender. Any Lender may elect to make this Lease prior to the lien of its Mortgage, and if the Lender under any prior Mortgage shall require, this Lease shall be prior to any subordinate Mortgage; such elections shall be effective upon written notice to Tenant. Upon request of any such Lender or purchaser, including any such request made by reason of the termination of this Lease as a result of such foreclosure or other proceedings, Tenant shall enter into a new lease with such Lender or purchaser on the terms and conditions of this Lease applicable to the remainder of the term hereof. Tenant agrees to give any Lender by certified mail, return receipt requested, or overnight delivery service, a copy of any notice of default served by Tenant upon Landlord, provided that prior to such notice Tenant has been notified in writing (by way of service on Tenant of a copy of an assignment of leases, or otherwise) of the name and address of such Lender. Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within the time permitted Landlord for cure under this Lease, any such Lender whose address has been so provided to Tenant shall have an additional period of thirty (30) days in which to cure (or such additional time as may be required due to causes beyond such Lender’s control, including time to obtain possession of the Building by power of sale or judicial action or deed in lieu of foreclosure). The provisions of this Article shall be self-operative; however, Tenant shall execute such documentation as Landlord or any Lender may request from time to time in order to confirm the matters set forth in this Article in recordable form. To the extent not expressly prohibited by Law, Tenant waives the provisions of any Law now or hereafter adopted which may give or purport to give Tenant any right or election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease or Tenant’s obligations hereunder if such foreclosure or power of sale proceedings are initiated, prosecuted or completed.
Notwithstanding the above, concurrently with the parties execution of this Lease, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a “non-disturbance agreement” in favor of Tenant, executed by Landlord’s current Lender, providing that if Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond any applicable
-29-
grace period, such party will recognize this Lease and Tenant’s rights hereunder and will not disturb Tenant’s possession hereunder, and if this Lease is by operation of law terminated in a foreclosure, that a new lease will be entered into on the same terms as this Lease for the remaining term hereof.
ARTICLE 18.
ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE
Tenant shall from time to time, upon written request by Landlord or Lender, deliver to Landlord or Lender, within ten (10) days after Tenant’s receipt of such request, a statement in writing certifying the commencement date of this Lease, stating that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect as modified and the date and nature of each such modification), that to the best of Tenant’s knowledge Landlord is not in default under this Lease (or, if Landlord is in default, specifying the nature of such default), that to the best of Tenant’s knowledge Tenant is not in default under this Lease (or if Tenant is in default, specifying the nature of such default), the current amounts of and the dates to which the Monthly Rent and Additional Rent has been paid, the current outstanding amounts of any tenant improvement allowances and setting forth such other matters as may be reasonably requested by Landlord. Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by a prospective purchaser of the Premises or by a lender obtaining a lien on the Premises as security. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that its failure to execute such certificate may cause Landlord serious financial damage by causing the failure of a sale or financing transaction and giving Landlord all of its rights and remedies under Article 20 below, including its right to damages caused by the loss of such sale or financing.
ARTICLE 19.
DEFAULTS
If Tenant: (i) fails to pay when due any installment or other payment of Monthly Rent, Taxes, Operating Expenses, or other Rent, and such failure continues for five (5) days after written notice thereof from Landlord, except that Landlord shall only be required to give two (2) such notices in any calendar year, and after such two (2) notices are given any failure by Tenant in such calendar year to pay any such amount when due shall itself constitute a default, without the requirement of notice from Landlord of such failure, or Tenant fails to keep in effect any insurance required to be maintained hereunder and such failure continues for five (5) days after notice thereof from Landlord; or (ii) abandons the Premises (Tenant’s mere vacating of the Premises during the Term shall not constitute a default under this Lease so long as Tenant continues to pay Monthly Rent, Taxes, Operating Expenses, and other Rent due Landlord under this Lease, maintains the insurance coverage required of it pursuant to this Lease and Tenant otherwise continues to perform its obligations under this Lease, and so long as Tenant provides Landlord with written notice of an alternate address for notices to Tenant under this Lease (other than the Premises) if such vacancy exceeds thirty (30) consecutive days); or (iii) assigns this Lease or subleases all or any portion of the Premises in violation of Article 16 above; or (iv) becomes insolvent, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, files a voluntary bankruptcy or an involuntary petition in bankruptcy is filed against Tenant which petition is not
-30-
dismissed within forty-five (45) days of its filing, or a trustee or receiver is appointed to take possession of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interests in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or (v) fails to perform or observe any of the other covenants, conditions or agreements contained herein on Tenant’s part to be kept or performed and such failure shall continue for twenty (20) days after notice thereof given by or on behalf of Landlord (or if the noncompliance cannot by its nature be cured within the twenty (20) day period, if Tenant fails to commence to cure such noncompliance within the twenty (20) day period and thereafter diligently prosecute such cure to completion, and completes such cure within an additional ninety (90) days thereafter); or (vi) if the interest of Tenant hereunder shall be offered for sale or sold under execution or other legal process, or if Tenant makes any transfer, assignment, conveyance, sale, pledge, disposition of all or a substantial portion of Tenant’s property; then any such event or conduct shall constitute a “default” hereunder.
In no event shall Landlord be deemed to be in default under this Lease unless Landlord fails to perform its obligations under this Lease, Tenant delivers to Landlord written notice specifying the nature of Landlord’s alleged default, and Landlord fails to cure such default within thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice (or, if the default cannot reasonably be cured within such period, to commence action within such thirty (30)-day period and proceed diligently thereafter to cure such default). In addition, Tenant shall send notice of such default by certified mail, return receipt request, or overnight delivery service, to the holder of any Mortgage whose address Tenant has been notified of in writing, and shall afford the holder of any such Mortgage the period specified in Article 17 above to cure any alleged default on Landlord’s behalf.
ARTICLE 20.
REMEDIES OF LANDLORD
Upon the occurrence of a default by Tenant, Landlord shall have the following remedies, which shall not be exclusive but shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other remedies now or hereafter allowed by law or equity:
(1) Landlord may terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises at any time by written notice to Tenant. Tenant expressly acknowledges that in the absence of such written notice from Landlord, no other act of Landlord, including, but not limited to, its re-entry into the Premises, its efforts to relet the Premises, its reletting of the Premises for Tenant’s account, its storage of Tenant’s personal property and trade fixtures, its acceptance of keys to the Premises from Tenant, its appointment of a receiver, or its exercise of any other rights and remedies under this Article 20 or otherwise at law, shall constitute an acceptance of Tenant’s surrender of the Premises or constitute a termination of this Lease or of Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises.
-31-
Upon such termination in writing of Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, this Lease shall terminate and Landlord shall be entitled to recover damages from Tenant as provided in California Civil Code Section 1951.2 or any other applicable existing or future Law providing for recovery of damages for such breach, including but not limited to the following:
(i) The reasonable cost of recovering the Premises; plus
(ii) The reasonable cost of removing Tenant’s alterations, trade fixtures and improvements; plus
(iii) All unpaid rent due or earned hereunder prior to the date of termination, less the proceeds of any reletting or any rental received from subtenants prior to the date of termination applied as provided in Section 2 below, together with interest at the Default Rate, on such sums from the date such rent is due and payable until the date of the award of damages; plus
(iv) The amount by which the rent which would be payable by Tenant hereunder, including Additional Rent under Article 4 above, as reasonably estimated by Landlord, from the date of termination until the date of the award of damages, exceeds the amount of such rental loss as Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided, together with interest at the Default Rate on such sums from the date such rent is due and payable until the date of the award of damages; plus
(v) The amount by which the rent which would be payable by Tenant hereunder, including Additional Rent under Article 4 above, as reasonably estimated by Landlord, for the remainder of the then Term, after the date of the award of damages exceeds the amount such rental loss as Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided, discounted at the discount rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco for member banks at the time of the award plus one percent (1%); plus

(2) Landlord has the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (a landlord may continue the lease in effect after the tenant’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if the tenant has the right to sublet and assign subject only to reasonable limitations), and may continue this Lease in full force and effect and may enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including, but not limited to, the right to recover rent as it becomes due. After the occurrence of a default, Landlord may enter the Premises without terminating this Lease and sublet all or any part of the Premises for Tenant’s account to any person, for such term (which may be a period beyond the remaining term of this Lease), at such rents and on such other terms and conditions as Landlord deems advisable. In the event of any such subletting, rents received by Landlord from such subletting shall be applied (i) first, to the payment of the costs of maintaining, preserving, altering and preparing the Premises for subletting, the other costs of subletting, including but not limited to brokers’ commissions, attorneys’ fees and expenses of removal of Tenant’s personal property, trade fixtures and Alterations; (ii) second, to the payment of rent then due and payable hereunder; (iii) third, to the payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder; (iv) fourth, the balance, if any, shall be paid to Tenant upon (but not before) expiration of the term of this Lease.
-32-
If the rents received by Landlord from such subletting, after application as provided above, are insufficient in any month to pay the rent due and payable hereunder for such month, Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord monthly upon demand. Notwithstanding any such subletting for Tenant’s account without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter, by written notice to Tenant, elect to terminate this Lease by virtue of a previous default.
(3) During the continuance of a default, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, Landlord may enter the Premises without terminating this Lease and remove all Tenant’s personal property, Alterations and trade fixtures from the Premises and store them at Tenant’s risk and expense. If Landlord removes such property from the Premises and stores it at Tenant’s risk and expense, and if Tenant fails to pay the cost of such removal and storage after written demand therefor and/or to pay any rent then due, then after the property has been stored for a period of thirty (30) days or more Landlord may sell such property at public or private sale, in the manner and at such times and places as Landlord deems commercially reasonable following reasonable notice to Tenant of the time and place of such sale. The proceeds of any such sale shall be applied first to the payment of the expenses for removal and storage of the property, the preparation for and the conducting of such sale, and for attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, and the balance shall be applied as provided in Section 2 above.
Tenant hereby waives all claims for damages that may be caused by Landlord’s reentering and taking possession of the Premises or removing and storing Tenant’s personal property pursuant to this Article, and Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, liability or expense resulting from any such act. No reentry by Landlord shall constitute or be construed as a forcible entry by Landlord.
(4) Upon termination of Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, Landlord may require Tenant to remove any and all Alterations from the Premises that Tenant is otherwise required to remove pursuant to this Lease, or, if Tenant fails to do so within ten (10) days after Landlord’s request, Landlord may do so at Tenant’s expense.
(5) Landlord may cure the default at Tenant’s expense, it being understood that such performance shall not waive or cure the subject default. If Landlord pays any sum or incurs any expense in curing the default, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for the amount of such payment or expense with interest at the Default Rate from the date the sum is paid or the expense is incurred until Landlord is reimbursed by Tenant. Any amount due Landlord under this subsection shall constitute additional rent hereunder.
Tenant hereby waives, for itself and all persons claiming by and under Tenant, all rights and privileges which it might have under any present or future Law to redeem the Premises or to continue this Lease after being dispossessed or ejected from the Premises.

LETTER OF CREDIT
As security for the performance by Tenant of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, Tenant shall cause to be delivered to Landlord concurrently with the execution of this Lease by Tenant, an original irrevocable standby letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) in the amount specified in Article 1 above, naming Landlord as beneficiary, which Landlord may draw upon to cure any default under this Lease or to compensate Landlord for any damage Landlord incurs as a result of Tenant’s failure to perform any of its obligations hereunder. Any such draw on the Letter of Credit shall not constitute a waiver of any other rights of Landlord with respect to such default or failure to perform. The Letter of Credit shall be issued by a major commercial bank reasonably acceptable to Landlord, with a San Francisco, California, or New York, New York, service and claim point for the Letter of Credit, have an expiration date not earlier than the sixtieth (60th) day after the Expiration Date (or, in the alternative, have a term of not less than one (1) year and be automatically renewable for an additional one (1) year period unless notice of non-renewal is given by the issuer to Landlord not later than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration thereof) and shall provide that Landlord may make partial and multiple draws thereunder, up to the face amount thereof.

If Landlord draws on the Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms hereof, Tenant shall immediately replenish the Letter of Credit or provide Landlord with an additional letter of credit conforming to the requirement of this paragraph so that the amount available to Landlord from the Letter of Credit(s) provided hereunder is the amount specified in Article 1 above. Tenant’s failure to deliver any replacement, additional or extension of the Letter of Credit, or evidence of renewal of the Letter of Credit, within the time specified under this Lease shall entitle Landlord to draw upon the Letter of Credit then in effect and, at Landlord’s election, constitute a default under this Lease. If Landlord liquidates the Letter of Credit as provided in the preceding sentence, Landlord shall hold the funds received from the Letter of Credit as security for Tenant’s performance under this Lease, and Landlord shall not be required to segregate such security deposit from its other funds and no interest shall accrue or be payable to Tenant with respect thereto.

If Tenant is not in default at the expiration or termination of this Lease, Landlord shall return to Tenant the Letter of Credit or the balance of the security deposit then held by Landlord, as applicable; provided, however, that in no event shall any such return be construed as an admission by Landlord that Tenant has performed all of its covenants and obligations hereunder. Tenant hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives the benefits and protections of California Civil Code Section 1950.7, and, without limitation of the scope of such waiver, acknowledges that Landlord may use all or any part of the Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof to compensate Landlord for damages resulting from termination of this Lease and the tenancy created hereunder (including, without limitation, damages recoverable under California Civil Code Section 1951.2).

In making any computations contemplated hereby, Landlord shall also be permitted to make such adjustments and modifications to the provisions of this paragraph and Article 4 as shall be reasonable and necessary to achieve the intention of the parties hereto, provided that Tenant is not required to pay any material additional amount by reason thereof.
M. “Rent” shall have the meaning specified therefor in Article 3.
N. “Rent Commencement Date” shall mean the date that Tenant’s obligation to pay Monthly Rent shall commence for the applicable portion of the Premises, as set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto.
O. “Tax” or “Taxes” shall mean:
1.1 all real property taxes and assessments levied against the Project by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority. The foregoing shall include all federal, state, county, or local governmental, special district, improvement district, municipal or other political subdivision taxes, fees, levies, assessments, charges or other impositions of every kind and nature, whether general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, respecting the Project, including without limitation, real estate taxes, general and special assessments, interest on any special assessments paid in installments, transit taxes, water and sewer rents, taxes based upon the receipt of rent, personal property taxes imposed upon the fixtures, machinery, equipment, apparatus, appurtenances, furniture and other personal property used in connection with the Project which Landlord shall pay during any calendar year, any portion of which occurs during the Term (without regard to any different fiscal year used by such government or municipal authority except as provided below). Any taxes which shall be levied on the rentals of the Project shall be determined as if the Project were Landlord’s only property, and provided further that in no event shall the term “taxes or assessment,” as used herein, include any net federal or state income taxes levied or assessed on Landlord, unless such taxes are a specific substitute for real property taxes. Such term shall, however, include gross taxes on rentals. Expenses incurred by Landlord for tax consultants and in contesting the amount or validity of any such taxes or assessments shall be included in such computations. Taxes shall not include any penalties incurred by Landlord as a result of Landlord’s failure to timely pay Taxes or file tax returns, unless Tenant shall fail to timely pay the Taxes payable by Tenant pursuant to this Lease.

1.2 all “assessments”, including so-called special assessments, license tax, business license fee, business license tax, levy, charge, penalty or tax imposed by any authority having the direct power to tax, including any city, county, state or federal government, or any school, agricultural, lighting, water, drainage, or other improvement or special district thereof, against the Premises of the Project or any legal or equitable interest of Landlord therein. For the purposes of this Lease, any special assessments shall be deemed payable in such number of installments as is permitted by Law, whether or not actually so paid. If as of the Commencement Date the Project has not been fully assessed as a completed project, for the purpose of computing the Expenses for any adjustment required herein or under Article 4, the Tax shall be adjusted by Landlord, as of the date on which the adjustment is to be made, to reflect full completion of the Project including all standard tenant finish work if the method of taxation of real estate prevailing to the time of execution hereof shall be, or has been altered, so as to cause the whole or any part of the taxes now, hereafter or theretofore levied, assessed or imposed on real estate to be levied, assessed or imposed on Landlord, wholly or partially, as a capital levy or otherwise, or on or measured by the rents received therefrom, then such new or altered taxes attributable to the Project shall be included within the term Taxes, except that the same shall not include any enhancement of said tax attributable to other income of Landlord. All of the preceding clauses O (1.1 and 1.2) are collectively referred to as the “Tax” or “Taxes”.
All other capitalized terms shall have the definition set forth in the Lease.

D. TRANSFERS.
The term “Landlord” appearing herein shall mean only the owner of the Building from time to time and, upon a sale or transfer of its interest in the Building, the then Landlord and transferring party shall have no further obligations or liabilities for matters accruing after the date of transfer of that interest, the successor owner and transferee shall be deemed to have assumed Landlord’s obligations thereafter arising under this Lease, and Tenant, upon such sale or transfer, shall look solely to the successor owner and transferee of the Building for performance of Landlord’s obligations hereunder.
E. MODIFICATION FOR LENDER.
If any Lender that intends to acquire an interest in, or holds a Mortgage encumbering any portion of the Project should require either the execution by Tenant of an agreement requiring Tenant to send such lender written notice of any default by Landlord under this Lease, giving such lender the right to cure such default until such lender has completed foreclosure, and preventing Tenant from terminating this Lease (to the extent such termination right would otherwise be available) unless such default remains uncured after foreclosure has been completed, and/or any modification of the agreements, covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease, then Tenant agrees that it shall, within ten (10) days after Landlord’s request, execute and deliver such agreement and modify this Lease as required by such lender or ground lessor; provided, however, that no such modification shall affect the length of the term or increase the Rent payable by Tenant or otherwise materially adversely affect Tenant’s rights or materially increase Tenant’s obligations (other than notice requirements and other similar ministerial obligations).

Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed by the parties hereto, or by any third party, as constituting the parties as principal and agent, partners or joint venturers, nor shall anything herein render either party (other than a guarantor) liable for the debts and obligations of any other party, it being understood and agreed that the only relationship between Landlord and Tenant is that of Landlord and Tenant.
-46-
H. ENTIRE AGREEMENT: MERGER.
This Lease embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the parties respecting the Lease and the Premises and supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements and understandings between the parties, all of which are merged herein. No provision of this Lease may be modified, waived or discharged except by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of such modification, waiver or discharge is sought.
I. NO REPRESENTATION BY LANDLORD.
Neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representations, warranties, or promises with respect to the Premises or the Building except as expressly set forth herein.
J. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
Notwithstanding any provision in this Lease to the contrary, under no circumstances shall Landlord’s liability for failure to perform any obligations arising out of or in connection with this Lease or for any breach of the terms or conditions of this Lease (whether written or implied) exceed Landlord’s equity interest in the Building, and, subject to the prior rights of any Lenders and to the extent still in Landlord’s possession or not yet received (but still receivable), the revenues, insurance proceeds and condemnation awards therefrom, and no personal liability shall at any time be asserted or enforceable against any other assets of Landlord or against the constituent shareholders, partners, members, or other owners of Landlord, or the directors, officers, employees and agents of Landlord or such constituent shareholder, partner, member or other owner, on account of any of Landlord’s obligations or actions under this Lease. Any judgments rendered against Landlord shall be satisfied solely out of proceeds of sale of Landlord’s interest in the Building and, subject to the prior rights of any Lenders and to the extent still in Landlord’s possession or not yet received (but still receivable), the revenues, insurance proceeds and condemnation awards therefrom. No personal judgment shall lie against Landlord upon extinguishment of its rights in the Building and, subject to the prior rights of any Lenders and to the extent still in Landlord’s possession or not yet received (but still receivable), the revenues, insurance proceeds and condemnation awards therefrom, and any judgments so rendered shall not give rise to any right of execution or levy against Landlord’s assets. The provisions hereof shall inure to Landlord’s successors and assigns including any Lender. The foregoing provisions are not intended to relieve Landlord from the performance of any of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease, but only to limit the personal liability of Landlord in case of recovery of a judgment against Landlord; nor shall the foregoing be deemed to limit Tenant’s rights to obtain injunctive relief or specific performance or other remedy which may be accorded Tenant by law or under this Lease.
K. MEMORANDUM OF LEASE.
Neither party, without the written consent of the other, will execute or record this Lease or any summary or memorandum of this Lease in any public recorder’s office.

M. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.
The conditions, covenants and agreements contained herein shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

Q. ATTORNEYS’ FEES; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
In the event of any action or proceeding between Landlord and Tenant (including an action or proceeding between Landlord and the trustee or debtor in possession while Tenant is a debtor in a proceeding under any bankruptcy law) to enforce any provision of this Lease, the losing party shall pay to the prevailing party all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred in such action and in any appeal in connection therewith by such prevailing party. The “prevailing party” will be determined by the court before whom the action was brought based upon an assessment of which party’s major arguments or positions taken in the suit or proceeding could fairly be said to have prevailed over the other party’s major arguments or positions on major disputed issues in the court’s decision. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Landlord shall be deemed the prevailing party in any unlawful detainer or other action or proceeding instituted by Landlord based upon any default or alleged default of Tenant hereunder if (i) judgment is entered in favor of Landlord, or (ii) prior to trial or judgment Tenant pays all or any portion of the rent claimed by Landlord, vacates the Premises, or otherwise cures the default claimed by Landlord.
-48-
IF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BETWEEN LANDLORD AND TENANT TO ENFORCE THE PROVISIONS OF THIS LEASE (INCLUDING AN ACTION OR PROCEEDING BETWEEN LANDLORD AND THE TRUSTEE OR DEBTOR IN POSSESSION WHILE TENANT IS A DEBTOR IN A PROCEEDING UNDER ANY BANKRUPTCY LAW) PROCEEDS TO TRIAL, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY IN SUCH TRIAL. Landlord and Tenant agree that this paragraph constitutes a written consent to waiver of trial by jury within the meaning of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 631(d)(2), and Tenant does hereby authorize and empower Landlord to file this paragraph and/or this Lease, as required, with the clerk or judge of any court of competent jurisdiction as a written consent to waiver of jury trial.
R. COUNTERPARTS.
This Lease may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
S. CONFIDENTIALITY.
Tenant agrees that the terms of this Lease are confidential and constitute proprietary information of Landlord, and that disclosure of the terms hereof could adversely affect the ability of Landlord to negotiate with other tenants. Tenant hereby agrees that Tenant and its partners, officers, directors, employees, agents, real estate brokers and sales persons and attorneys shall not disclose the terms of this Lease to any other person without Landlord’s prior written consent, except to any accountants of Tenant in connection with the preparation of Tenant’s financial statements or tax returns, to an assignee of this Lease or sublessee of the Premises, or to an entity or person to whom disclosure is required by applicable law or in connection with any action brought to enforce this Lease.
ARTICLE 31.
ROOFTOP SPACE; GENERATOR SPACE
Landlord recognizes that Tenant may, during the Term, desire to install, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, antennae and/or communication dishes on the roof of the Building, and/or a back-up power generator in or about the Building. Upon Tenant’s request, Landlord will endeavor in good faith to provide suitable space to Tenant for such purpose, provided that such space is available to Landlord, and that such use is permitted by all applicable Laws, and provided further that Landlord and Tenant agree, after good faith negotiations, as to the terms, covenants and conditions applicable to Tenant’s lease of any such space. In the event any such space is leased by Tenant, Tenant will not be charged any additional rent for the use of such space and the other terms, covenants and conditions applicable thereto shall be set forth in an amendment to this Lease approved and executed by Landlord and Tenant.

Landlord reserves the right at any time to reasonably change or rescind any one or more of these Rules and Regulations, or to make such other and further reasonable and nondiscriminatory Rules and Regulations as in Landlord’s judgment may from time to time be necessary for the management, safety, care and cleanliness of the Project, and for the preservation of good order therein, as well as for the convenience of other occupants and tenants therein. Landlord may waive any one or more of these Rules and Regulations for the benefit of any particular tenant, but no such waiver by Landlord shall be construed as a waiver of such Rules and Regulations in favor of any other tenant, nor prevent Landlord from thereafter enforcing any such Rules or Regulations against any or all tenants of the Project.
