ARTICLE 1
PREMISES, BUILDING, PROJECT, AND COMMON AREAS; RIGHT OF FIRST
OFFER
1.1 Premises, Building, Project and Common Areas.
1.1.1 The Premises. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant
hereby leases from Landlord the premises set forth in Section 2.2 of the
Summary (the “Premises”). The outline of the Premises is set forth in
Exhibit A attached hereto and each floor or floors of the Premises has
the number of rentable square feet as set forth in Section 2.2 of the
Summary. Landlord and Tenant hereby stipulate and agree that the rentable area
of the Premises is as set forth in Section 2.2 of the Summary, and such square
footage shall not be subject to remeasurement or modification. The parties
hereto agree that the lease of the Premises is upon and subject to the terms,
covenants and conditions herein set forth, and Tenant covenants as a material
part of the consideration for this Lease to keep and perform each and all of such
terms, covenants and conditions by it to be kept and performed and that this
Lease is made upon the condition of such performance. The parties hereto
hereby acknowledge that the purpose of Exhibit A is to show the
approximate location of the Premises in the “Building,” as that term
is defined in Section 1.1.2, below, only, and such Exhibit is not meant to
constitute an agreement, representation or warranty as to the construction of
the Premises, the precise area thereof or the specific location of the “Common
Areas,” as that term is defined in Section 1.1.3, below, or the elements
thereof or of the accessways to the Premises or the “Project,” as that term is defined
in Section 1.1.2, below. Except as specifically set forth in this Lease and in
the Tenant Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Tenant Work
Letter”), Landlord shall not be obligated to provide or pay for any
improvement work or services related to the improvement of the Premises.
Xxxxxx also acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has
made any representation or warranty regarding the condition of the Premises,
the Building or the Project or with respect to the suitability of any of the
foregoing for the conduct of Xxxxxx’s business, except as specifically set
forth in this Lease and the Tenant Work Letter. The taking of possession of the Premises by Tenant
shall conclusively establish that the Premises and the Building were at such
time in good and sanitary order, condition and repair, subject to
Tenant’s punchlist items. Subject to Landlord’s reasonable access control
systems and procedures, the “Rules and Regulations,” as that term is defined
in Section 5.2, below, and the terms of this Lease, Landlord shall allow
Tenant access to the Premises twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days
per week.
1.1.2 The Building and The Project. The Premises are a part of the
building set forth in Section 2.1 of the Summary (the “Building”). The
Building is part of an office project known as “China Basin Landing.” The
term “Project,” as used in this Lease, shall mean (i) the Building and the
Common Areas, (ii) the land (which is improved with landscaping, subterranean
parking facilities and other improvements) upon which the Building and
the Common Areas are located, (iii) the other office building located adjacent
to the Building and the land upon which such adjacent office building is
located, and (iv) at Landlord’s discretion, any additional real property,
areas, land, buildings or other improvements added thereto outside of the
Project.
1.1.3 Common Areas. Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use
in common with other tenants in the Project, and subject to the rules and
regulations referred to in Article 5 of this Lease, those portions of the
Project which are provided, from time to time, for use in common by Landlord,
Tenant and any other tenants of the Project (such areas, together with such
other portions of the Project designated by Landlord, in its discretion, including
certain areas designated for the exclusive use of certain tenants, or to be
shared by Landlord and certain tenants, are collectively referred to herein as
the “Common Areas”). The Common Areas shall consist of the “Project Common
Areas” and the “Building Common Areas.” The term “Project Common Areas,” as
used in this Lease, shall mean the portion of the Project reasonably designated
as such by Landlord. The term “Building Common Areas,” as used in this
Lease, shall mean the portions of the Common Areas located within the Building
reasonably designated as such by Landlord. The Common Areas shall be
maintained and operated in a manner consistent with the “Comparable Buildings,”
as that term is defined in Section 2.2.5 of this Lease, and the use thereof
shall be subject to such rules, regulations and restrictions as Landlord may
make from time to time. Landlord reserves the right to close temporarily, make
alterations or additions to, or change the location of elements of the Project
and the Common Areas;
CHINA BASIN LANDING | ||||
-4- | [LoopNet] |
provided, however, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts not to
materially interfere with Xxxxxx’s use of or access to the Premises in
connection with such closures,
alterations, additions and/or changes.
1.2 Right of First Offer. Landlord hereby grants to the Tenant named in
the Summary (the “Original Tenant”) or an “Affiliate” of Tenant, as that term
is defined in Section 14.8, below, which is an assignee of the Original
Tenant (an “Affiliate Assignee”), a right of first offer with respect to
certain space located on the fourth (4th) floor of the Building,
as designated on Exhibit A-1, attached hereto (the “First Offer Space”).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, such first offer right of Tenant shall
commence only following the expiration or earlier termination of the existing
lease (including renewals) of the First Offer Space, and such right of first
offer shall be subordinate to all rights of which are set forth in leases of space in
the Project as of the date hereof, including any renewal, extension or
expansion rights set forth as of the date hereof in such leases, regardless
of whether such renewal, extension or expansion rights are executed strictly
in accordance with their terms, or are commemorated pursuant to a
lease amendment or a new lease (collectively, the “Superior Right Holders”)
with respect to such First Offer Space. Tenant’s right of first offer shall
be on the terms and conditions set forth in this
Section 1.2.
1.2.1 Procedure for Offer. Landlord shall notify Tenant (the “First Offer
Notice”) from time to time when the First Offer Space becomes available for lease to
third parties, provided that no Superior Right Holder wishes to lease such
space. Pursuant to such First Offer Notice, Landlord shall offer to lease to
Tenant the First Offer Space. The First Offer Notice shall set forth the
“First Offer Rent,” as that term is defined in Section 1.2.3 below,
and the other economic terms upon which Landlord is willing to lease such
space to Tenant.
1.2.2 Procedure for Acceptance. If Tenant wishes to exercise Xxxxxx’s right
of first offer with respect to the space, then within five (5) business days
of delivery of the First Offer Notice to Tenant, Tenant shall deliver notice
to Landlord of Tenant’s election to exercise its right of first offer with
respect to the entire space described in the First Offer Notice on the terms
contained in such notice. If Tenant does not so notify Landlord within the five
(5) business day period, then Landlord shall be free to lease the space
described in the First Offer Notice to anyone to whom Landlord desires on any
terms Landlord desires. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, Tenant must elect to exercise its right of first offer, if at all,
with respect to all of the First Offer Space, and Tenant may not elect to lease only
a portion thereof.
1.2.3 First Offer Space Rent. The “Rent,” as that term is defined in
Section 4.1, below, payable by Tenant for the First Offer Space (the “First
Offer Rent”) shall be equal to the “Fair Rental Value,” as that term is
defined in Section 2.2.2 of this Lease, as of the “First Offer Commencement
Date,” as that term is defined in Section 1.2.5, below.
1.2.4 Construction In First Offer Space. Tenant shall take the First
Offer Space in its “as is” condition, subject to the payment of a tenant
improvement allowance, if any, as a part of the Fair Rental Value
determination, and the construction of improvements in the First Offer Space
shall comply with the terms of Article 8 of this Lease.
1.2.5 Amendment to Lease. If Tenant timely exercises Tenant’s right to
lease the First Offer Space as set forth herein, Landlord and Tenant shall
within fifteen (15) days thereafter execute an amendment to this Lease for
such First Offer Space upon the terms and conditions as set forth in the First
Offer Notice and this Section 1.2. Tenant shall commence payment of
Rent for the First Offer Space, and the term of the First Offer Space shall
commence upon the date of delivery of the First Offer Space to Tenant (the
“First Offer Commencement Date”) and terminate on the date set forth in the
First Offer Notice.
1.2.6 Termination of Right of First Offer. The rights contained in
this Section 1.2 shall be personal to the Original Tenant or its Affiliate
Assignee, and may only be exercised by the Original Tenant or its Affiliate
Assignee (and not any other assignee, sublessee or other transferee of the
Original Tenant’s interest in this Lease) if the Original Tenant or
its Affiliate Assignee occupies the entire Premises. The right of first
offer granted herein shall terminate as to particular First Offer Space upon
the failure by Tenant to exercise its right of first offer with respect to
such First Offer Space as offered by Xxxxxxxx; provided, however, that
if Landlord fails to lease such First Offer Space to a third party during the
one hundred eighty
CHINA BASIN LANDING | ||||
-5- | [LoopNet] |
(180) day period immediately following Tenant’s failure to exercise its right of first offer,
then Tenant shall again have a right of first offer to lease such space in
accordance with the terms of this Section 1.2. Further, in the event
Tenant fails to lease such First Offer Space, and Landlord consummates a
lease with a third party for such First Offer Space (an “Interim
Lease”), following the expiration (including renewals) or earlier termination
of the Interim Lease (provided the Lease Term has not expired), Tenant shall
again have a right of first offer to lease such space in accordance with the
terms of this Section 1.2. Tenant shall not have the right to lease First
Offer Space, as provided in this Section 1.2. if, as of the date of the attempted
exercise of any right of first offer by Xxxxxx, or as of the scheduled date
of delivery of such First Offer Space to Tenant, Tenant is in default under
this Lease or Tenant has previously been in default under this Lease more
than once.
ARTICLE 2
INITIAL LEASE TERM; OPTION TERM
2.1 Initial Lease Term. The terms and provisions of this Lease shall be effective
as of the date of this Lease. The term of this Lease (the “Lease Term”) shall
be as set forth in Section 3.1 of the Summary, shall commence on the date set
forth in Section 3.2 of the Summary (the “Lease Commencement Date”), and shall
terminate on the date set forth in Section 3.3 of the Summary (the “Lease
Expiration Date”) unless this Lease is sooner terminated as hereinafter
provided. For purposes of this Lease, the term “Lease Year” shall mean
each consecutive twelve (12) month period during the Lease Term; provided,
however, that the first Lease Year shall commence on the Lease Commencement
Date and end on the last day of the eleventh month thereafter and the second
and each succeeding Lease Year shall commence on the first day of the next
calendar month; and further provided that the last Lease Year shall end on the
Lease Expiration Date. At any time during the Lease Term, Landlord may deliver
to Tenant a notice in the form as set forth in Exhibit C, attached hereto, as a
confirmation only of the information set forth therein, which Tenant shall
execute and return to Landlord within five (5) days of receipt thereof.
2.2 Option Term.
2.2.1 Landlord hereby grants the original Tenant named in the Summary
(the “Original Tenant”) or an Affiliate Assignee”), one (1) option to extend
the Lease Term for a period of five (5) years (the “Option Term”), which
option shall be exercisable only by written notice delivered by Tenant to
Landlord as provided below, provided that, as of the date of delivery of such
notice, Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond any applicable
cure period set forth in this Lease, and has not previously been in default
under this Lease beyond any applicable cure period set forth in this Lease
more than once. Upon the proper exercise of such option to extend, and
provided that, as of the end of the initial Lease Term, Tenant is not
in default under this Lease, beyond any applicable cure period set forth in
this Lease, and has not previously been in default under this Lease beyond any
applicable cure period set forth in this Lease more than once, the Lease Term,
as it applies to the Premises, shall be extended for a period of five (5)
years. The rights contained in this Section 2.2 shall be personal to the
Original Tenant and any Affiliate Assignee and may only be exercised by the
Original Tenant or an Affiliate Assignee (and not any other assignee,
sublessee or transferee of the Original Tenant’s interest in this Lease) if
the Original Tenant or an Affiliate Assignee occupies the entire Premises. In
the event Tenant fails to timely exercise the right set forth in this Section 2.2,
this Section 2.2 shall be null and void and of no further force or effect.
2.2.2 Option Rent. The annual rent payable by Tenant during the Option
Term (the “Option Rent”) shall be equal to the “Fair Rental Value” for the
Premises as of the commencement date of the Option Term. The “Fair Rental
Value” shall be equal to the annual rent (including additional rent and
considering any “base year” or “expense stop” applicable thereto), including
all escalations, at which tenants are leasing non-sublease,
non-encumbered, non-equity, non-renewal commercial office space comparable in
size, location and quality to the Premises, for a comparable lease term, in an
arm’s length transactions consummated during the ten (10) month period (the
“Rent Review Period”) prior to the date Landlord delivers the “Option Rent
Notice,” as that term is defined in Section 2.2.3, below, or the First
Offer Commencement Date, as the case may be, which comparable commercial
office space is located in the Project, or if there are not a sufficient
number of comparable transactions in the Project than in “Comparable
Buildings,” as that term is defined in Section 2.2.5, below, taking into
CHINA BASIN LANDING | ||||
-6- | [LoopNet] |
consideration only the following concession: any tenant improvements or allowances
(the “Allowances”) provided or to be provided for such comparable space,
taking into account, and deducting, the value of the existing improvements in
the Premises or the First Offer Space, as the case may be, such value to be
based upon the age, quality and layout of the improvements and the extent to
which the same can be utilized by a general office user. If in determining
the Option Rent a tenant improvement allowance is granted as set forth
hereinabove, Landlord may, at Landlord’s sole option, elect any or a portion
of the following: (A) to grant some or all of the Allowances to Tenant in the
form as described above (i.e., as an improvement allowance), and (B) to
adjust the rental rate component of the Option Rent to be an effective rental rate
which takes into consideration the total dollar value of the Allowances (in
which case the Allowances evidenced in the effective rental rate shall not be
granted to Tenant).
2.2.3 Exercise of Options. The option contained in this Section 2.2 shall
be exercised by Tenant, if at all, and only by Xxxxxx delivering irrevocable
written notice of its exercise thereof to Landlord not less than seven (7)
months prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term. In the event that
Tenant timely exercises the renewal option, then Landlord shall deliver notice
(the “Option Rent Notice”) to Tenant not less than five (5) months prior to
the expiration of the initial Lease Term, setting forth the Option Rent.
Tenant may, at Tenant’s option, object to the Option Rent contained in the
Option Rent Notice, by written notice to Landlord (the “Objection Notice”)
within thirty (30) days following Tenant’s receipt of the Option Rent Notice,
in which case the parties shall follow the procedure, and the Option Rent shall
be determined, as set forth in Section 2.2.4, below. In the event that Tenant shall fail
to timely deliver an Objection Notice, the Option Rent set forth in the Option
Rent Notice shall be the Option Rent due during the Option Term and Tenant
shall have no right to contest the same. Landlord and Tenant shall execute an
amendment setting forth the terms and conditions of the Option Term.
2.2.4 Determination of Option Rent. In the event Tenant timely
and appropriately objects to the Option Rent or the First Offer Rent, as the
case may be, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon the Option Rent or
the First Offer Rent, as the case may be, using their best good-faith efforts.
If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement within ten (10) business days
following Tenant’s objection to the Option Rent or the First Offer Rent, as
the case may be (the “Outside Agreement Date”), then each party shall make a
separate determination of the Option Rent or the First Offer Rent, as the case
may be, within five (5) business days after the applicable Outside Agreement
Date, and such determinations shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance
with Sections 2.2.4.1 through 2.2.4.7 below.
2.2.4.1 Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one arbitrator who shall
be a real estate broker who shall have been active over the five (5) year
period ending on the date of such appointment in the leasing of first class
commercial office projects in the South of Market Street area of San
Francisco, California. The determination of the arbitrators shall be
limited solely to the issue of whether Xxxxxxxx’s or Tenant’s submitted Option
Rent or the First Offer Rent, as the case may be, is the closest to the actual
Option Rent or the First Offer Rent, as the case may be, as determined by the
arbitrators, taking into account the requirements of Section 2.2.2 (and
1.2.3, as applicable) of this Lease. Each such arbitrator shall be appointed
within fifteen (15) days after the applicable Outside Agreement Date.
2.2.4.2 The two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall within ten (10) days
of the date of the appointment of the last appointed arbitrator agree upon
and appoint an independent third arbitrator who shall be qualified under the
same criteria set forth hereinabove
for qualification of the initial two (2) arbitrators.
2.2.4.3 The three (3) arbitrators shall within thirty (30) days of
the appointment of the third arbitrator reach a decision as to whether the
parties shall use Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Option Rent or the First
Offer Rent, as the case may be, and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof.
2.2.4.4 The decision of the majority of the three (3) arbitrators shall
be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.
2.2.4.5 If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an arbitrator
within fifteen (15) days after the applicable Outside Agreement Date, then the
arbitrator appointed by
CHINA BASIN LANDING | ||||
-7- | [LoopNet] |

ARTICLE 3
BASE RENT
Tenant shall pay, without prior notice or demand, to Landlord or Landlord’s agent at
the management office of the Project, or, at Landlord’s option, at such other
place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing, by a check for
currency which, at the time of payment, is legal tender for private or public
debts in the United States of America, base rent (“Base Rent”) as set forth in
Section 4 of the Summary, payable in equal monthly installments as set forth
in Section 4 of the Summary in advance on or before the first day of each and
every calendar month during the Lease Term, without any setoff or deduction
whatsoever, except as specifically set forth in this Lease. The Base Rent for
the first full month of the Lease Term shall be paid at the time of Xxxxxx’s
execution of this Lease. If any Rent payment date (including the
Lease Commencement Date) falls on a day of the month other than the first day
of such month or if any payment of Rent is for a period which is shorter than
one month, the Rent for any fractional month shall accrue on a daily basis for
the period from the date such payment is due to the end of such calendar month
or to the end of the Lease Term at a rate per day which is equal to 1/365
of the applicable annual Rent. All other payments or adjustments required to
be made under the terms of this Lease that require proration on a time basis
shall be prorated on the same basis.
ARTICLE 4
ADDITIONAL RENT
4.1
General Terms. In addition to paying the Base Rent specified in Article 3 of
this Lease, Tenant shall pay, commencing after the expiration of the “Base
Year”, “Tenant’s Share” of the annual “Direct Expenses,” as those terms are
defined in Sections 4.2.1, 4.2.6 and 4.2.2 of this Lease, respectively, which
are in excess of the amount of Direct Expenses applicable to the Base Year;
provided, however, that in no event shall any decrease in Direct Expenses for
any “Expense Year,” as that term is defined in Section 4.2.6 below, below
Direct Expenses for the Base Year entitle Tenant to any decrease in Base Rent
or any credit against sums due under this Lease. Such payments by Xxxxxx,
together with any and all other amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant
to the terms of this Lease, are hereinafter collectively referred to as
the “Additional Rent”, and the Base Rent and the Additional Rent are herein
collectively referred to as “Rent.” All amounts due under this Article 4 as
Additional Rent shall be payable for the same periods and in the same manner
as the Base Rent. Without limitation on other obligations of Tenant which
survive the expiration of the Lease Term, the obligations of Tenant to pay the
Additional Rent provided for in this Article 4 shall survive the expiration of the Lease
Term; provided, however, that other than “Tax Expenses,” as that term is
defined in Section 4.2.5.1, below, levied by a governmental authority, or
utility charges, Tenant shall not be responsible for Tenant’s Share of any
Direct Expenses attributable to any “Expense Year” which are first billed to
Tenant more than two (2) years after the Lease Expiration Date.

the Expense Year from time to time to any other twelve (12) consecutive month
period, and, in the event of any such change, Xxxxxx’s Share of Direct Expenses
shall be equitably adjusted for any Expense Year involved in any such change.
4.2.4 “Operating Expenses” shall mean all expenses, costs and amounts
of every kind and nature which Landlord pays or accrues during any Expense Year
because of or in connection with the ownership, management, maintenance,

any portion thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Operating Expenses shall specifically include any and all of the following: (i)
the cost of supplying all utilities, the cost of operating, repairing,
maintaining, and renovating the utility, telephone, mechanical, sanitary, storm

company with a general reputation for excellence and integrity), consulting
fees, reasonable legal fees and accounting fees, of all contractors and
consultants in connection with the management, operation, maintenance

the unamortized cost) of the cost of acquiring or the rental expense of
personal property used in the maintenance, operation and repair of the Project,
or any portion thereof; (xiii) the cost of capital improvements or other
costs incurred in connection with the Project (A) which are intended as a labor
savings device or to effect other economies in the operation or maintenance of
the Project, or any portion thereof, (B) that are required to comply with
present or anticipated conservation programs, (C) which are replacements or
modifications of nonstructural items located in the Common Areas required
to keep the Common Areas in good order or condition, or (D) that are required
under any governmental law or regulation, except for capital improvements or
costs to remedy a condition existing as of the Lease Commencement Date which a
federal, state or municipal governmental authority, if it had knowledge of such
condition existing as of the Lease Commencement Date, would have then required
to be xxxxxx
xx pursuant to governmental laws or regulations in their form
existing as of the Lease Commencement Date; provided, however, that any
capital expenditure shall be amortized with interest (at a commercially
reasonable rate incurred by Landlord) over its useful life as Landlord shall
reasonably determine; (xiv) costs, fees, charges or assessments
imposed by, or resulting from any mandate imposed on Landlord by, any federal, state or local
government for fire and police protection, trash removal, community services,
or other services which do not constitute “Tax Expenses” as that term is
defined in Section 4.2.5, below; and (xv) payments under any easement,
license, operating agreement, declaration, restrictive covenant, or instrument
pertaining to the sharing of costs by the Building. If Landlord is not
furnishing any particular work or service (the cost of which, if performed by
Xxxxxxxx, would be included in Operating Expenses) to a tenant who has
undertaken to perform such work or service in lieu of the performance thereof
by Landlord, Operating Expenses shall be deemed to be increased by an amount
equal to the additional Operating Expenses which would
CHINA BASIN LANDING | ||||
-9- | [LoopNet] |
reasonably have been incurred during such period by Landlord if it had at its own
expense furnished such work or service to such tenant. If the Project is not
at least ninety-five percent (95%) occupied during all or a portion of the
Base Year or any Expense Year, Landlord shall elect to make an appropriate
adjustment to the components of Operating Expenses for such year to determine
the amount of Operating Expenses that would have been incurred had the
Project been ninety-five percent (95%) occupied; and the amount so determined
shall be deemed to have been the amount of Operating Expenses for such year.
Operating Expenses for the Base Year shall not include market-wide labor-rate
increases due to extraordinary circumstances, including, but not limited to,
boycotts and strikes, and utility rate increases due to
extraordinary circumstances including, but not limited to, conservation
surcharges, boycotts, embargoes or other shortages, or amortized costs
relating to capital improvements. In no event shall the components of Direct
Expenses for any Expense Year related to electrical costs be less than
the components of Direct Expenses related to electrical costs in the Base
Year. Landlord shall not collect Operating Expenses from Tenant and all other
tenants in the Building in an amount in excess of what Landlord incurs for the
items included in Operating Expenses. If Landlord does not carry earthquake
insurance for the Building during the Base Year but subsequently
obtains earthquake insurance for the Building during the Lease Term, then from
and after the date upon which Landlord obtains such earthquake insurance and
continuing throughout the period during which Landlord maintains such
insurance, Operating Expenses for the Base Year shall be deemed to be
increased by the amount of the premium Landlord would have incurred
had Landlord maintained such insurance for the same period of time during the
Base Year as such insurance is maintained by Landlord during such subsequent
Expense Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Operating Expenses for purposes
of this Lease shall not include the following:
(i) costs of leasing commissions, attorneys’ fees and other costs
and expenses incurred in connection with negotiations or disputes with present
or prospective tenants or other occupants of the Building;
(ii) costs (including permit, license and inspection costs) incurred
in renovating or otherwise improving, decorating or redecorating rentable

“Renovations” as that term is defined in Section 29.30 of this Lease, to the
extent such Renovations are considered to be capital improvements);
(iv) costs of services or other benefits which are either not offered
to Tenant or for which Tenant is charged directly, but which are provided to
other tenants of the Building without a separate charge;
(v) except for a property management fee, costs of overhead or
profit increment paid to Landlord or to subsidiaries or affiliates of
Landlord for services in connection with the Building to the extent the same
unreasonably exceeds the cost of such services rendered by qualified, first
class unaffiliated third parties on a competitive basis;
(vi) except as otherwise specifically provided in this Section
4.2.4, costs of interest on debt or amortization on any mortgages, and
principal payments and other charges, costs and expenses payable under any

loss;
(x) tax penalties incurred as a result of Landlord’s negligence, inability
or unwillingness to make payments or file returns when due;

(xi) all items and services for which Tenant or any other tenant in
the Building reimburses Landlord or which Landlord provides selectively to
one or more tenants (other than Tenant) without reimbursement;
(xii) fees and reimbursements payable to Landlord (including its
parent organization, subsidiaries and/or affiliates) or by Landlord for
management of the Building which unreasonably exceeds the amount which would
normally be paid to a company, in connection with the management of
comparable buildings, with a general reputation for excellence and integrity,
at “arms length” and which is not, directly or indirectly, affiliated
with Landlord;
(xiii) costs arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of Landlord;
(xiv) costs incurred to comply with laws relating to the removal
of hazardous material (as defined under applicable law) and asbestos
containing material (collectively, “Hazardous Material”) which was in
existence in the Building or on the Project prior to the Lease Commencement
Date, and was of such a nature that a federal, State or municipal governmental
authority, if it had then had knowledge of the presence of such Hazardous
Material, in the state, and under the conditions that it then existed in the Building
or on the Project, would have then required the removal of such Hazardous
Material or other remedial or containment action with respect thereto; costs
incurred with respect to any Hazardous Material which was in existence in the
Building or on the Project prior to the Lease Commencement Date, and which
Landlord is obligated to xxxxx or remediate after the Lease Commencement Date
in accordance with an abatement or remediation plan which was in effect prior
to the Lease Commencement Date; and costs incurred to remove, remedy, contain, or
treat Hazardous Material, which Hazardous Material is brought into the
Building or onto the Project after the date hereof by Landlord or any other
tenant of the Project and is of such a nature, at that time, that a federal,
State or municipal governmental authority, if it had then had knowledge of the
presence of such Hazardous Material, in the state and under the conditions, that it then
exists in the Building or on the Project, would have then required the removal
of such Hazardous Material or other remedial or containment action with
respect thereto;
(xv) any liability, damage, award or judgment for injury or death
to persons, or for property damage;
(xvi) costs, other than those incurred in ordinary maintenance and
repair, for sculpture, paintings, fountains or other objects of art; and
(xvii) costs associated with the operation of the business of Landlord,
as the same are distinguished from the costs of operation of the Premises or
Project, including company accounting and legal matters, costs of defending
any lawsuits with any mortgagee, costs of selling, syndicating, financing,
mortgaging or hypothecating any of Landlord’s interest in the Premises or
Project, costs (including attorney fees and costs of settlement judgments
and payments in lieu thereof) arising from claims, disputes or potential

rent, including gross receipts or sales taxes applicable to the receipt of rent,
unless required to be paid by Tenant, personal property taxes imposed upon the
fixtures, machinery, equipment, apparatus, systems and equipment,

the Project, or any portion thereof), which shall be paid or accrued during
any Expense Year (without regard to any different fiscal year used by
such governmental or municipal authority) because of or in connection with the
ownership, leasing and operation of the Project, or any portion thereof.
4.2.5.2 Tax Expenses shall include, without limitation: (i) Any tax on
the rent, right to rent or other income from the Project, or any portion
thereof, or as against the
CHINA BASIN LANDING | ||||
-11- | [LoopNet] |
business of leasing the Project, or any portion thereof; (ii) Any assessment, tax, fee, levy
or charge in addition to, or in substitution, partially or totally, of any
assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge previously included within the
definition of real property tax, it being acknowledged by Xxxxxx and Landlord
that Proposition 13 was adopted by the voters of the State of California
in the June 1978 election (“Proposition 13”) and that assessments, taxes,
fees, levies and charges may be imposed by governmental agencies for such
services as fire protection, street, sidewalk and road maintenance, refuse
removal and for other governmental services formerly provided without charge
to property owners or occupants, and, in further recognition of the decrease in
the level and quality of governmental services and amenities as a result of
Proposition 13, Tax Expenses shall also include any governmental or private
assessments or the Project’s contribution towards a governmental
or private
cost-sharing agreement for the purpose of augmenting or improving the quality
of services and amenities normally provided by governmental agencies; (iii)
Any assessment, tax, fee, levy, or charge allocable to or measured by the area of
the Premises or the Rent payable hereunder, including, without limitation,
any business or gross income tax or excise tax with respect to the receipt of
such rent, or upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operating,
management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of
the Premises, or any portion thereof; and (iv) Any assessment, tax, fee, levy or
charge, upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party,
creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises.
4.2.5.3 Any costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in attempting to protest, reduce or
minimize Tax Expenses shall be included in Tax Expenses in the Expense Year
such expenses are paid. Tax refunds shall be credited against Tax Expenses
and refunded to Tenant regardless of when received, based on the Expense Year
to which the refund is applicable, provided that in no event shall the amount to
be refunded to Tenant for any such Expense Year exceed the total amount paid by
Xxxxxx as Additional Rent under this Article 4 for such Expense Year. If Tax
Expenses for any period during the Lease Term or any extension thereof are
increased after payment thereof for any reason, including, without limitation,
error or reassessment by applicable governmental or municipal authorities,
Tenant shall pay Landlord within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s written
demand therefore (which written demand shall include reasonable,
back-up documentation of such increase) Tenant’s Share of any such increased
Tax Expenses included by Landlord as Building Tax Expenses pursuant to the
terms of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Section 4.2.5 (except as set forth in Section 4.2.5.1, above), there shall
be excluded from Tax Expenses (i) all excess profits taxes, franchise
taxes, gift taxes, capital stock taxes, inheritance and succession taxes,
estate taxes, federal and state income taxes, and other taxes to the extent
applicable to Landlord’s general or net income (as opposed to rents, receipts
or income attributable to operations at the Project), (ii) any items included
as Operating Expenses, (iii) any items paid by Tenant under Section 4.5 of this
Lease, (iv) tax penalties incurred as a result of Landlord’s negligence,
inability or unwillingness to make payments or file returns when due, and (v)
taxes on tenant improvements in the Building based upon an assessed level in
excess of the Building standard set forth in Section 4.5.2, below.
4.2.5.4 The amount of Tax Expenses for the Base Year attributable to
the valuation of the Project, inclusive of tenant improvements, shall be known
as “Base Taxes”. If in any comparison year subsequent to the Base Year, the
amount of Tax Expenses decreases below the amount of Base Taxes, then for
purposes of all subsequent comparison years, including the comparison year in
which such decrease in Tax Expenses occurred, the Base Taxes, and therefore the
Base Year, shall be decreased by an amount equal to the decrease in Tax Expenses.
4.2.6 “Tenant’s Share” shall mean the percentage set forth in Section 6 of
the Summary, and is based on the ratio of the square footage of the Premises
to the total square footage of the Project.
4.3
Allocation of Direct Expenses.
4.3.1
Method of Allocation. The parties acknowledge that the Building is
a
part of a multi-building project and that the costs and expenses incurred in connection with
the Project (i.e. the Direct Expenses) are an aggregate of the Building and
the other buildings in the Project.
4.3.2
Cost Pools. Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, to
equitably allocate some or all of the Direct Expenses for the Project among
different portions or occupants
CHINA BASIN LANDING | ||||
-12- | [LoopNet] |
of the Project (the “Cost Pools”), in Landlord’s discretion, which allocation shall be
consistently applied. Such Cost Pools may include, but shall not be limited
to, the office space tenants of a building of the Project or of the Project,
and the retail space tenants of a building of the Project or of the Project.
The Direct Expenses within each such Cost Pool shall be allocated and
charged to the tenants as determined by Landlord in accordance with sound
real estate management principles, consistently applied. Landlord shall not
allocate Direct Expenses into Cost Pools as provided in this Section 4.3.2 as
a subterfuge to increase the amount of Direct Expenses payable by Tenant
hereunder.
4.4
Calculation and Payment of Additional Rent. If for any Expense Year
ending or commencing within the Lease Term, Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses
for such Expense Year exceeds Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses applicable to
the Base Year, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in the manner set forth in
Section 4.4.1, below, and as Additional Rent, an amount equal to the excess
(the “Excess”).
4.4.1
Statement of Actual Direct Expenses and Payment by Tenant.
Landlord shall endeavor to give to Tenant following the end of each Expense Year, a
statement (the “Statement”) which shall state in general major categories the
Direct Expenses incurred or accrued for such preceding Expense Year, and
which shall indicate the amount of the Excess. Upon receipt of the Statement
for each Expense Year commencing or ending during the Lease Term, if an
Excess is present, Tenant shall pay, within thirty (30) days following Tenant’s
receipt of the Statement, the full amount of the Excess for such Expense
Year, less the amounts, if any, paid during such Expense Year as “Estimated
Excess,” as that term is defined in Section 4.4.2, below. The failure of
Landlord to timely furnish the Statement for any Expense Year shall
not prejudice Landlord or Tenant from enforcing its rights under this Article
4. Even though the Lease Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the
Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant’s Share of Direct
Expenses for the Expense Year in which this Lease terminates, if an Excess if
present, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days following Tenant’s receipt of
the Statement, pay to Landlord such amount, and if Tenant paid more as
Estimated Excess than actual Excess, Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days
following Landlord’s determination, deliver a check to Tenant in the amount
of such overpayment. The provisions of this Section 4.4.1 shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.
4.4.2
Statement of Estimated Direct Expenses. In addition, Landlord
shall endeavor to give Tenant a yearly expense estimate statement (the
“Estimate Statement”) which shall set forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate (the
“Estimate”) of what the total amount of Direct Expenses for the then-current
Expense Year shall be and the estimated excess (the “Estimated Excess”) as
calculated by comparing the Direct Expenses for such Expense Year, which shall
be based upon the Estimate, to the amount of Direct Expenses for the Base Year.
The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Estimate Statement for any
Expense Year shall not preclude Landlord from enforcing its rights to collect
any Estimated Excess under this Article 4, nor shall Landlord be prohibited
from revising any Estimate Statement or Estimated Excess theretofore delivered
to the extent necessary; provided that Landlord shall not revise any Estimate
Statement or Estimated Excess more than once per year. Thereafter, Tenant
shall pay, within thirty (30) days following Xxxxxx’s receipt of the Estimate
Statement, a fraction of the Estimated Excess for the then-current Expense Year
(reduced by any amounts paid pursuant to the next to last sentence of this
Section 4.4.2). Such fraction shall have as its numerator the number of
months which have elapsed in such current Expense Year, including the month of
such payment, and twelve (12) as its denominator. Until a new Estimate
Statement is furnished (which Landlord shall have the right to deliver to
Tenant at any time), Tenant shall pay monthly, with the monthly Base Rent
installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the total Estimated Excess
set forth in the previous Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant.
4.5
Taxes and Other Charges for Which Tenant Is Directly Responsible.
4.5.1 Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay ten (10) business days
before delinquency, taxes levied against Tenant’s equipment, furniture,
fixtures and any other personal property located in or about the Premises. If
any such taxes on Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and any other
personal property are levied against Landlord or Landlord’s property or if the
assessed value of Landlord’s property is increased by the inclusion therein of a value
placed upon such equipment, furniture, fixtures or any other personal property
and if Landlord pays the taxes based upon such increased assessment, which
Landlord shall have the right to do regardless of the validity thereof but
only under proper protest if requested by Tenant, Tenant shall upon
CHINA BASIN LANDING | ||||
-13- | [LoopNet] |
demand repay to Landlord the taxes so levied against Landlord or the proportion of such
taxes resulting from such increase in the assessment, as the case may be.
4.5.2 If the tenant improvements in the Premises, whether installed and/or
paid for by Landlord or Tenant and whether or not affixed to the real property
so as to become a part thereof, are assessed for real property tax purposes at
a valuation higher than the valuation at which tenant improvements conforming
to Landlord’s “building standard” in other space in the Building are assessed,
then the Tax Expenses levied against Landlord or the property by reason of such
excess assessed valuation shall be deemed to be taxes levied against personal property
of Tenant and shall be governed by the provisions of Section 4.5.1, above.
4.5.3 Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, Tenant shall pay prior
to delinquency any (i) rent tax or sales tax, service tax, transfer tax or
value added tax, or any other applicable tax on the rent or services herein or
otherwise respecting this Lease, (ii) taxes assessed upon or with respect to the
possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair,
use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion of the Project, including
the Project parking facility; or (iii) taxes assessed upon this transaction or
any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or
an estate in the Premises.

laws now or hereafter in effect. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be

of Section 6.1 of this Lease. If such consent is given, Landlord shall have
the right to install supplementary air conditioning units or other facilities
in the Premises, including supplementary or additional metering devices, and
the cost thereof, including the cost of installation, operation and
maintenance, increased wear and tear on existing equipment and other similar charges,
shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon billing by Landlord. In the event, in
Landlord’s reasonable discretion, Tenant uses water, electricity, heat or air
conditioning in excess of that supplied by Landlord pursuant to Section 6.1 of
this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon billing, the cost of such
excess consumption, the cost of the installation, operation, and maintenance
of equipment which is installed in order to supply such excess consumption,
and the cost, if any, of the increased wear and tear on existing equipment
caused by such excess consumption; and Landlord may, upon reasonable prior
notice to Tenant, install devices to separately meter any increased use and in
such event Tenant shall pay the increased cost directly to Landlord,
within ten (10) days following demand by Landlord (which demand shall include
reasonable back-up documentation), at the rates charged by the public utility
company furnishing the same, including the cost of such additional metering
devices, In the event Tenant delivers to Landlord detailed specifications for
any equipment Tenant intends to install in the Premises, Landlord shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Tenant within ten (10) business
days following such receipt whether Landlord believes such equipment shall
cause excess consumption as set forth in this Section 6.2. To the extent
Landlord delivers a bill for excess water and/or electricity, following a
request by Xxxxxx, Landlord shall meet with Tenant to discuss
Landlord’s determination of such excess usage. Tenant’s use of electricity
shall never exceed the capacity of the feeders to the Project or the risers or
wiring installation. If Tenant desires to use heat, ventilation or air
conditioning during hours other than those for which Landlord is obligated
to supply such utilities pursuant to the terms of Section 6.1 of this Lease,
Tenant shall give
CHINA BASIN LANDING | ||||
-15- | [LoopNet] |
Landlord such prior notice, if any, as Landlord shall from time to time reasonably establish
as appropriate, to the extent such additional utilities can be made
available, and Landlord shall supply such utilities to Tenant at such hourly
cost to Tenant (which shall be treated as Additional Rent and which may
include an administrative fee) as Landlord shall from time to time reasonably
establish.
6.3
Interruption of Use. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable
for damages, by abatement of Rent (except as set forth in Section 6.4, below)
or otherwise, for failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any service
(including telephone and telecommunication services), or for any diminution in
the quality or quantity thereof, when such failure or delay or diminution is
occasioned, in whole or in part, by breakage, repairs, replacements,
or improvements, by any strike, lockout or other labor trouble, by inability to
secure electricity, gas, water, or other fuel at the Building or Project after
reasonable effort to do so, by any riot or other dangerous condition,
emergency, accident or casualty whatsoever, by act or default of Tenant
or other parties, or by any other cause; and such failures or delays or
diminution shall never be deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of
Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises or relieve Tenant from paying Rent
(except as set forth in Section 6.4, below) or performing any of its
obligations under this Lease. Furthermore, Landlord shall not be liable under
any circumstances for a loss of, or injury to, property or for injury to, or
interference with, Xxxxxx’s business, including, without limitation, loss of
profits, however occurring, through or in connection with or incidental to a
failure to furnish any of the services or utilities as set forth in this
Article 6. Landlord may comply with voluntary controls or guidelines promulgated by
any governmental entity relating to the use or conservation of energy, water,
gas, light or electricity or the reduction of automobile or other emissions
without creating any liability of Landlord to Tenant under this Lease, provided
that the Premises are not thereby rendered untenantable.
6.4
Rent Abatement. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, in
the event that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises
or any portion thereof, as a result of any failure of Landlord to provide any
services, utilities or access to the Premises as required by this Lease (other
than for a reason beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, including, but not
limited to, loss of electricity due to black-outs) (an “Abatement Event”), then
Tenant shall give Landlord notice of such Abatement Event, and if such
Abatement Event continues for three (3) consecutive business days after
Landlord’s receipt of any such notice (the “Eligibility Period”), then the Base
Rent and Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses shall be abated or reduced, as the
case may be, after expiration of the Eligibility Period for such time that Tenant
continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or a
portion thereof, in the proportion that the rentable area of the portion of the
Premises that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, bears to the
total rentable area of the Premises. Such right to xxxxx Base Rent and Xxxxxx’s
Share of Direct Expenses shall be Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy at law or
in equity for an Abatement Event. Except as provided in this Section 6.4, nothing
contained herein shall be interpreted to mean that Tenant is excused from
paying Rent due hereunder.
ARTICLE 7
REPAIRS
Tenant shall, at Xxxxxx’s own expense, pursuant to the terms of this Lease,
including without limitation Article 8 hereof, keep the Premises, including
all improvements, fixtures and furnishings therein, in good order, repair and
condition at all times during the Lease Term. In addition, Tenant shall, at
Xxxxxx’s own expense, but under the supervision and subject to the prior
approval of Landlord, and within any reasonable period of time specified by
Landlord, pursuant to the terms of this Lease, including without limitation
Article 8 hereof, promptly and adequately repair all damage to the Premises
and replace or repair all damaged, broken, or worn fixtures and appurtenances,
except for damage caused by ordinary wear and tear or beyond the reasonable
control of Tenant; provided however, that, at Landlord’s option, or if Tenant fails
to make such repairs, Landlord may, after written notice to Tenant and
Tenant’s failure to commence repair within five (5) days thereafter and to
diligently pursue the same to completion (except in the event of an emergency,
when no notice shall be required) but need not, make such repairs and
replacements, and Tenant shall pay Landlord the cost thereof, including a
percentage of the cost thereof (to be uniformly established for the Building
and/or the Project) sufficient to reimburse Landlord for all overhead, general
conditions, fees and other costs or expenses arising from Landlord’s
involvement with such repairs and replacements forthwith within thirty
(30) days after being billed for same. Landlord shall be responsible for
repairs to the exterior walls,
CHINA BASIN LANDING | ||||
-16- | [LoopNet] |
foundation and roof of the Building, the structural portions of the floors of the Building,
the systems and equipment of the Building, and the Common Areas, except to
the extent that such repairs are required due to the negligence or willful
misconduct of Tenant; provided, however, that if such repairs are due to the
negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, Landlord shall nevertheless make
such repairs, but at Tenant’s expense, or, if covered by Landlord’s
insurance, Tenant shall only be obligated to pay any deductible in connection
therewith. Subject to Article 27, below, Landlord may, but shall not be
required to, enter the Premises at all reasonable times to make such repairs
to the Premises or repairs, alterations, improvements or additions to the
Project or to any equipment located in the Project as Landlord shall deem
reasonably necessary or as Landlord may be required to do by governmental or
quasi-governmental authority or court order or decree. Tenant hereby waives
any and all rights under and benefits of subsection 1 of Section 1932 and
Sections 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code or under any similar law,
statute, or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.
ARTICLE 8
ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS
8.1 Landlord’s Consent to Alterations. Tenant may not make any
improvements, alterations, additions or changes to the Premises or any
mechanical, plumbing or HVAC facilities or systems pertaining to the Premises
(collectively, the “Alterations”) without first procuring the prior written
consent of Landlord to such Alterations, which consent shall be requested by
Tenant not less than thirty (30) days prior to the commencement thereof, and
which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s reasonable discretion.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be permitted to make Alterations
following ten (10) business days-notice to Landlord, but without Landlord’s
prior approval, to the extent such Alterations are merely cosmetic in nature
(i.e. re-painting and re-carpeting), and provided that such Alterations do
not (a) affect the exterior of the Building, (b) affect the structure of the
Building or the systems and equipment of the Building, and/or (c) interfere
with Building services or the use of the Project or the Building by other
tenants or occupants. The construction of the initial improvements to
the Premises shall be governed by the terms of the Tenant Work Letter and not
the terms of this Article 8.
8.2 Manner of Construction. Landlord may impose, as a condition of its consent
to any and all Alterations or repairs of the Premises or about the Premises,
such requirements as Landlord in its reasonable discretion may deem desirable,
including, but not limited to, the requirement that Tenant utilize for such
purposes only contractors, subcontractors, materials, mechanics and materialmen
selected by Tenant from a list provided and approved by
Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event such Alterations or
repairs (i) affect the exterior of the Building, (ii) affect the structure of
the Building, or the systems and equipment of the Building, or (iii) may
interfere with Building services or the use of the Building or Project by other
tenants or occupants, then Landlord may condition its approval in Landlord’s
sole discretion. Prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease,
Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, remove any Alteration designated by Landlord
for removal by notice to Tenant prior to the expiration or earlier termination
of this Lease, and shall repair any damage to the Premises or the Building
caused by such removal; provided, however, in the event that in Tenant’s request
for approval of such Alterations or the “Final Working Drawings” for the
“Tenant Improvements,” as those terms are defined in the Tenant Work Letter,
attached hereto as Exhibit B, constructed pursuant to the terms of the Tenant
Work Letter, as the case may be, Tenant requests a determination by Landlord
(the “Designation Notice”) as to whether or not Tenant shall be required to
remove such Alteration or Tenant Improvements upon the expiration or
earlier termination of the Lease, in accordance with the terms hereof, then
Landlord shall include in its consent (if granted) notice as to whether such
Alteration or Tenant Improvements shall be required to be removed prior to the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, and corresponding repairs
made. If such Alterations will involve the use of or disturb
hazardous materials or substances existing in the Premises, Tenant shall comply
with Landlord’s rules and regulations concerning such hazardous materials or
substances. Tenant shall construct such Alterations and perform such repairs
in a good and workmanlike manner, in conformance with any and all applicable
federal, state, county or municipal laws, rules and regulations and pursuant to
a valid building permit, issued by the City of San Francisco, all in conformance
with Xxxxxxxx’s construction rules and regulations. In the event Tenant
performs any Alterations in the Premises which require or give rise to
governmentally required changes to the “Base Building,” as that term is defined
below, then Landlord shall, at Tenant’s expense, make such
CHINA BASIN LANDING | ||||
-17- | [LoopNet] |
changes to the Base Building. The “Base Building” shall include the structural portions of
the Building, and the public restrooms and the systems and equipment located
in the internal core of the Building on the floor or floors on which the
Premises are located. In performing the work of any such Alterations, Tenant
shall have the work performed in such manner so as not to obstruct access to
the Project or any portion thereof, by any other tenant of the Project, and so as not
to obstruct the business of Landlord or other tenants in the Project. Tenant
shall not use (and upon notice from Landlord shall cease using) contractors,
services, workmen, labor, materials or equipment that, in Landlord’s
reasonable judgment, would disturb labor harmony with the workforce or trades
engaged in performing other work, labor or services in or about the
Building or the Common Areas. In addition to Tenant’s obligations under
Article 9 of this Lease, upon completion of any Alterations, Tenant agrees to
cause a Notice of Completion to be recorded in the office of the Recorder of
the County of San Francisco in accordance with Section 3093 of the Civil Code
of the State of California or any successor statute, and Tenant shall deliver to
the Project management office a reproducible copy of the “as built” drawings
of the Alterations (to the extent such Alterations are of the type and scope
for which such plans are typically prepared) as well as all permits,
approvals and other documents issued by any governmental agency in connection
with the Alterations.
8.3 Payment for Improvements. If payment is made directly to contractors,
Tenant shall comply with Landlord’s requirements for final lien releases and
waivers in connection with Tenant’s payment for work to contractors. If
Tenant orders any work directly from Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a
percentage of the cost of such work sufficient to compensate Landlord for all
overhead, general conditions, fees and other costs and expenses arising
from Landlord’s involvement with such work. If Xxxxxx does not order the
work directly from Landlord, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s
actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred in connection with
Xxxxxxxx’s review of such work.
8.4 Construction Insurance. In addition to the requirements of Article 10 of
this Lease, in the event that Tenant makes any Alterations, prior to the
commencement of such Alterations, Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence
that Tenant carries “Builder’s All Risk” insurance in an amount approved by
Landlord, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, covering the construction of
such Alterations, and such other insurance as Landlord may require, it
being understood and agreed that all of such Alterations shall be insured by
Tenant pursuant to Article 10 of this Lease immediately upon completion
thereof. In addition, to the extent any Alteration is reasonably anticipated
to cost in excess of $100,000.00, Landlord may, in its discretion, require
Tenant to obtain a lien and completion bond or some alternate form of security
satisfactory to Landlord in an amount sufficient to ensure the lien-free completion
of such Alterations and naming Landlord as a co-obligee.
8.5 Landlord’s Property. All Alterations, improvements, fixtures, equipment
and/or appurtenances which may be installed or placed in or about the Premises,
from time to time, shall be at the sole cost of Tenant and shall be and become
the property of Landlord, except that Tenant may remove any Alterations,
improvements, fixtures and/or equipment which Tenant can substantiate to
Landlord have not been paid for with any Tenant improvement allowance
funds provided to Tenant by Landlord, provided Tenant repairs any damage to the
Premises and Building caused by such removal and returns the affected portion
of the Premises to a building standard tenant improved condition as determined
by Landlord. Furthermore, prior to the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, remove any Alterations or
improvements in the Premises designated by Landlord and restore the same to
the condition existing prior to the installation of such Alteration (provided
such previous condition did not require any repair, in which event Tenant shall
restore the same to the condition existing as of the completion of the initial
Tenant Improvements), subject to the terms of Section 8.2, above. If Tenant
fails to complete such removal and/or to repair any damage caused by
the removal of any Alterations or improvements in the Premises, and return the
affected portion of the Premises to the condition required hereunder, as
reasonably determined by Landlord, Landlord may do so and may charge the
reasonable cost thereof to Tenant. Tenant hereby protects, defends,
indemnifies and holds Landlord harmless from any liability, cost,
obligation, expense or claim of lien in any manner relating to the
installation, placement, removal or financing of any such Alterations,
improvements, fixtures and/or equipment in, on or about the Premises placed
there by or on behalf of Tenant, which obligations of Tenant shall survive
the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

ARTICLE 9
COVENANT AGAINST LIENS
Tenant shall keep the Project and Premises free from any liens or encumbrances
arising out of the work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred
by or on behalf of Tenant, and shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold
Landlord harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, judgments or costs
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising
out of same or in connection therewith. Tenant shall give Landlord notice at least
ten (10) days prior to the commencement of any such work on the Premises (or
such additional time as may be necessary under applicable laws) to afford
Landlord the opportunity of posting and recording appropriate notices of
non-responsibility. Tenant shall remove any such lien or encumbrance by bond
or otherwise within ten (10) days after notice by Landlord, and if
Tenant shall fail to do so, Landlord may pay the amount necessary to remove
such lien or encumbrance, without being responsible for investigating the
validity thereof. The amount so paid shall be deemed Additional Rent under
this Lease payable upon demand, without limitation as to other remedies
available to Landlord under this Lease. Nothing contained in this Lease shall
authorize Tenant to do any act which shall subject Landlord’s title to the
Building or Premises to any liens or encumbrances whether claimed by operation
of law or express or implied contract. Any claim to a lien or encumbrance upon
the Building or Premises arising in connection with any such work or
respecting the Premises not performed by or at the request of Landlord shall be null
and void, or at Landlord’s option shall attach only against Xxxxxx’s interest
in the Premises and shall in all respects be subordinate to Landlord’s title
to the Project, Building and Premises.
ARTICLE 10
INSURANCE
10.1 Indemnification and Waiver.
10.1.1 Tenant Indemnification and Waiver. Except to the extent caused by
the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or “Landlord Parties,” as that
term is defined hereinbelow, Tenant hereby assumes all risk of damage to
property or injury to persons in, upon or about the Premises from any cause
whatsoever and agrees that Landlord, its partners, subpartners and their
respective officers, agents, servants, employees, and
independent contractors (collectively, “Landlord Parties”) shall not be liable
for, and are hereby released from any responsibility for, any damage either to
person or property or resulting from the loss of use thereof, which damage is
sustained by Tenant or by other persons claiming through Tenant. Tenant shall
indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless the Landlord Parties from any and
all loss, cost, damage, expense and liability (including without limitation
court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with or
arising from any cause in the Premises, any acts, omissions or negligence of
Tenant or of any person claiming by, through or under Tenant, or of the
contractors, agents, servants, employees, invitees, guests or licensees of Tenant or any
such person, in, on or about the Project or any breach of the terms of this
Lease, either prior to, during, or after the expiration of the Lease Term,
provided that the terms of the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to the
negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or the Landlord Parties. Should
Landlord be named as a defendant in any suit brought against Tenant in connection
with or arising out of Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord its costs and expenses incurred in such suit, including without
limitation, its actual and reasonable professional fees such as
appraisers’, accountants’ and attorneys’ fees. Further, Tenant’s agreement
to indemnify Landlord pursuant to this Section 10.1.1 is not intended and shall
not relieve any insurance carrier of its obligations under policies required to
be carried by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, to the extent
such policies cover the matters subject to Tenant’s indemnification
obligations; nor shall they supersede any inconsistent agreement of the parties
set forth in any other provision of this Lease. The provisions of this Section 10.1.1
shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease with respect
to any claims or liability arising in connection with any event occurring prior
to such expiration or termination.
10.1.2 Landlord Indemnification. Xxxxxxxx agrees to indemnify Tenant
and hold it harmless from any and all loss, cost, damage, expense and liability
(including without limitation court costs,and reasonable attorneys’ fees)
incurred in connection with or arising from any loss, including, without
limitation, any loss by reason of injury to person or property, caused by
Landlord’s or its agents’ gross negligence or willful misconduct. In case any action, suit or
CHINA BASIN LANDING | ||||
-19- | [LoopNet] |
proceeding is brought against Tenant by reason of any such occurrence, Landlord, upon
Xxxxxx’s request, will, at Xxxxxxxx’s expense, resist and defend such action,
suit or proceeding, itself or through counsel designated by the applicable
insurer, or otherwise reasonably approved by Xxxxxx. The obligations of
Landlord under this Section 10.1.2 shall survive the termination of this
Lease with respect to any claims or liability arising in connection with any event
occurring prior to such termination.
10.2 Landlord’s Fire and Casualty Insurance. Landlord shall carry
commercial general liability insurance with respect to the Building during the
Lease Term, and shall further insure the Building during the Lease Term
against loss or damage due to fire and other casualties covered within the
classification of fire and extended coverage, vandalism coverage and malicious
mischief, sprinkler leakage, water damage and special extended coverage.
Such coverage shall be in such amounts, from such companies, and on such other
terms and conditions, as Landlord may from time to time reasonably determine.
Additionally, at the option of Landlord, such insurance coverage may include
the risks of earthquakes and/or flood damage and additional hazards, a rental
loss endorsement and one or more loss payee endorsements in favor of the
holders of any mortgages or deeds of trust encumbering the interest of Landlord
in the Building or the ground or underlying lessors of the Building, or any
portion thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
10.2, the coverage and amounts of insurance carried by Landlord in connection
with the Building shall, at a minimum, be comparable to the coverage and
amounts of insurance which are carried by reasonably prudent landlords of
Comparable Buildings (provided that in no event shall Landlord be required to
carry earthquake insurance). Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, comply with
all insurance company requirements pertaining to the use of the Premises. If
Tenant’s conduct or use of the Premises causes any increase in the premium for
such insurance policies then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord within thirty
(30) days following Landlord’s request therefor (which request shall include
reasonable back-up documentation) for any such increase. Tenant, at Tenant’s
expense, shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations or requirements of
the American Insurance Association (formerly the National Board of Fire
Underwriters) and with any similar body.
10.3 Tenant’s Insurance. Tenant shall maintain the following coverages in
the following amounts.
10.3.1 Commercial General Liability Insurance covering the insured
against claims of bodily injury, personal injury and property damage
(including loss of use thereof) arising out of Tenant’s operations, and
contractual liabilities (covering the performance by Tenant of its indemnity
agreements) including a Broad Form endorsement covering the
insuring provisions of this Lease and the performance by Tenant of the
indemnity agreements set forth in Section 10.1 of this Lease, for limits of
liability not less than:

Personal Injury Liability
|
$5,000,000 each occurrence | |
$5,000,000 annual aggregate | ||

10.3.2 Physical Damage Insurance covering (i) all office furniture, business
and trade fixtures, office equipment, free-standing cabinet work, movable
partitions, merchandise and all other items of Tenant’s property on the
Premises installed by, for, or at the expense of Tenant, (ii) the “Tenant
Improvements,” as that term is defined in Section 2.1 of the Tenant Work
Letter, and any other improvements which exist in the Premises as of the
Lease Commencement Date (excluding the Base Building) (the “Original
Improvements”), and (iii) all other improvements, alterations and additions to
the Premises. Such insurance shall be written on an “all risks” of physical
loss or damage basis, for the full replacement cost value (subject to
reasonable deductible amounts) new without deduction for depreciation of
the covered items and in amounts that meet any co-insurance clauses of the
policies of insurance and shall include coverage for damage or other loss
caused by fire or other peril including, but not limited to, vandalism and

10.3.3 Worker’s Compensation and Employer’s Liability or other
similar insurance pursuant to all applicable state and local statutes and
regulations.
10.3.4 Business Interruption Insurance in the amount necessary to
insure payment of Tenant’s obligations to pay Rent hereunder for a period of
not less than twelve (12) months.
10.4 Form of Policies. The minimum limits of policies of insurance required
of Tenant under this Lease shall in no event limit the liability of Tenant
under this Lease. Such insurance shall (i) name Landlord, and any other party
the Landlord reasonably specifies, in writing, as an additional insured,
including Xxxxxxxx’s managing agent, if any; (ii) specifically cover the
liability assumed by Tenant under this Lease, including, but not limited to,
Tenant’s obligations under Section 10.1 of this Lease; (iii) be issued by an
insurance company having a rating of not less than A-X in Best’s Insurance
Guide or which is otherwise acceptable to Landlord and licensed to do business
in the State of California; (iv) be primary insurance as to all claims
thereunder and provide that any insurance carried by Landlord is excess and is
non-contributing with any insurance requirement of Tenant; (v) be in form and
content reasonably acceptable to Landlord; and (vi) provide that said insurance
shall not be canceled or coverage changed unless thirty (30) days’ prior
written notice shall have been given to Landlord and any mortgagee of Landlord.
Tenant shall deliver said policy or policies or, at Tenant’s
option, certificates (including endorsements) thereof to Landlord on or before
the Lease Commencement Date and at least thirty (30) days before the expiration
dates thereof. In the event Tenant shall fail to procure such insurance, or to
deliver such policies or certificate, Landlord may, at its option, within live
(5) days following written notice from Landlord to Tenant, procure
such policies for the account of Tenant, and the cost thereof shall be paid to
Landlord within five (5) days after delivery to Tenant of bills therefor.
10.5 Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant intend that, notwithstanding any
other provision of this Lease to the contrary, their respective property loss
risks shall be borne by reasonable insurance carriers to the extent above
provided, and Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to look solely to, and seek
recovery only from, their respective insurance carriers in the event of a
property loss to the extent that such coverage is agreed to be provided
hereunder. Accordingly, notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to
the contrary, the parties each hereby waive all rights and claims against each
other for such losses, and waive all rights of subrogation of their respective
insurers, provided such waiver of subrogation shall not affect the right of the
insured to recover thereunder. The parties agree that their respective
insurance policies are now, or shall be, endorsed such that the waiver of
subrogation shall not affect the right of the insured to recover thereunder, so
long as no material additional premium is charged therefor.
10.6 Additional Insurance Obligations. Tenant shall carry and maintain during
the entire Lease Term, as the same may be extended, at Tenant’s sole cost and
expense, increased amounts of the insurance required to be carried by Tenant
pursuant to this Article 10 and such other reasonable types of insurance
coverage and in such reasonable amounts covering the Premises and Tenant’s
operations therein, as may be reasonably requested by Landlord, but in no event
shall such increased amounts of insurance or such other reasonable types of insurance be
in excess of that generally requested by landlords of Comparable Buildings.
ARTICLE
11
DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION
11.1 Repair of Damage to Premises by Landlord. Tenant shall promptly
notify Landlord of any damage to the Premises resulting from fire or any other
casualty. If the Premises or any Common Areas serving or providing access to
the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall
promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustment
or other matter’s beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, and subject to
all other terms of this Article 11, restore the Base Building and such Common
Areas. Such restoration shall be to substantially the same condition of the
Base Building and the Common Areas prior to the casualty, except for
modifications required by zoning and building codes and other laws or by the
holder of a mortgage on the Building or Project or any other modifications to
the Common Areas deemed desirable by Landlord, provided that access to the Premises
and any common restrooms serving the Premises shall not be materially
impaired. Upon the
CHINA BASIN LANDING | ||||
-21- | [LoopNet] |
occurrence of any damage to the Premises, upon notice (the “Landlord Repair Notice”) to
Tenant from Landlord, Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or to any party designated by
Landlord) all insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant’s insurance
required under Section 10.3.2 (ii) and (iii) of this Lease, and Landlord shall
repair any injury or damage to the Tenant Improvements, the Original
Improvements installed in the Premises all other improvements, alterations and
additions to the Premises and shall return such Tenant Improvements,
Original Improvements and all other improvements, alterations and additions to
the Premises to their original condition; provided that if the cost of such
repair by Landlord exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds received by
Landlord from Tenant’s insurance carrier, as assigned by Tenant, the cost of
such repairs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord prior to Landlord’s
commencement of repair of the damage, or as soon as such additional costs are
known. In the event that Landlord does not deliver the Landlord Repair Notice
within sixty (60) days following the date the casualty becomes known to
Landlord, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, repair any injury or
damage to the Tenant Improvements and the Original Improvements installed in
the Premises and shall return such Tenant Improvements and Original
Improvements to their original condition. Whether or not Landlord delivers a
Landlord Repair Notice, prior to the commencement of construction, Tenant
shall, upon receipt of written request from Landlord, submit to Landlord, for
Landlord’s review and approval, all plans, specifications and working drawings
relating thereto, and Landlord shall select the contractors to perform such
improvement work. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or
annoyance to Tenant or its visitors, or injury to Tenant’s business resulting
in any way from such damage or the repair thereof; provided however, that if
such fire or other casualty shall have damaged the Premises or Common Areas
necessary to Tenant’s occupancy, Landlord shall allow Tenant an
equitable, proportionate abatement of Rent to the extent Landlord is
reimbursed from the proceeds of rental interruption insurance purchased by
Landlord as part of Operating Expenses, during the time and to the extent the
Premises are unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this
Lease, and not occupied by Tenant as a result thereof; provided, further,
however, that to the extent the damage or destruction is due to the negligence
or wilful misconduct of Tenant or any of its agents, employees or contractors,
Tenant shall be responsible for any reasonable, applicable insurance
deductible (which shall be payable to Landlord upon demand). In the event
that Landlord shall not deliver the Landlord Repair Notice, Xxxxxx’s right to
rent abatement pursuant to the preceding sentence shall terminate as of the
date which is reasonably determined by Landlord to be the date Tenant should
have completed repairs to the Premises assuming Tenant used reasonable due
diligence in connection therewith.
11.2 Landlord’s Option to Repair. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 11.1 of
this Lease, Landlord may elect not to rebuild and/or restore the Premises,
Building and/or Project, and instead terminate this Lease, by notifying Tenant
in writing of such termination within sixty (60) days after the date of damage,
such notice to include a termination date giving Tenant sixty (60) days to
vacate the Premises, but Landlord may so elect only if the Building or Project
shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or cause, whether or not the
Premises are affected, and one or more of the following conditions is present:
(i) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, repairs cannot reasonably be completed
within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of discovery of the damage
(when such repairs are made without the payment of overtime or other premiums);
(ii) the holder of any mortgage on the Building or Project or ground lessor
with respect to the Building or Project shall require that the insurance
proceeds or any portion thereof be used to retire the mortgage debt, or shall
terminate the ground lease, as the case may be, and Landlord elects to
terminate the leases of all other tenants of the Project similarly affected by
the damage and destruction; (iii) the damage is not fully covered by Landlord’s
insurance policies or the coverage which would have been afforded had Landlord
maintained the insurance required under this Lease, and Landlord elects to
terminate the leases of all other tenants of the Project similarly affected by
the damage and destruction; or (iv) Landlord decides to rebuild the Building or
Common Areas so that they will be substantially different structurally
or architecturally or (v) the damage occurs during the last eighteen (18)
months of the Lease Term. If Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease
pursuant to Landlord’s termination right as provided above, and the repairs
cannot, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, be completed within one hundred
eighty days (180) days after being commenced (which one hundred eighty days
(180) day period shall be subject to execution as a result of any “Force Majeure” as
that term is defined in Section 29.16, below), Tenant may elect, within thirty
(30) days after the date of Xxxxxxxx’s notice, to terminate this Lease by
written notice to Landlord effective as of the date specified in the notice,
which date shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60)
days after the date such notice is given by Xxxxxx. Furthermore, if neither Landlord nor
CHINA BASIN LANDING | ||||
-22- | [LoopNet] |
Tenant has terminated this Lease, and the repairs to be made by Landlord are not
actually completed within two hundred forty (240) day period (which period
may be extended up to ninety (90) days for an event of Force Majeure), then
Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease during the first five (5)
business days of each calendar month following the end of such period until
such time as the repairs to be made by Landlord are complete, by notice to
Landlord (the “Damage Termination Notice”), effective as of a date set forth
in the Damage Termination Notice (the “Damage Termination Date”), which
Damage Termination Date shall not be less than ten (10) business days
following the end of each such month. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if Tenant delivers a Damage Termination Notice to Landlord, then Landlord
shall have the right to suspend the occurrence of the Damage Termination Date
for a period ending thirty (30) days after the Damage Termination Date set
forth in the Damage Termination Notice by delivering to Tenant, within five
(5) business days of Landlord’s receipt of the Damage Termination Notice,
a certificate of Landlord’s contractor responsible for the repair of the
damage certifying that it is such contractor’s good faith judgment that the
repairs to be made by Landlord shall be substantially completed within thirty
(30) days after the Damage Termination Date. If such repairs shall be
substantially completed prior to the expiration of such thirty-day period, then
the Damage Termination Notice shall be of no force or effect, but if such
repairs shall not be substantially completed within such thirty-day period,
then this Lease shall terminate upon the expiration of such thirty-day
period.
11.3 Waiver of Statutory Provisions. The provisions of this Lease, including
this Article 11, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant
with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of
the Premises, the Building or the Project, and any statute or regulation of
the State of California, including, without limitation, Sections 1932(2) and
1933(4) of the California Civil Code, with respect to any rights
or obligations concerning damage or destruction in the absence of an express
agreement between the parties, and any other statute or regulation, now or
hereafter in effect, shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or
destruction to all or any part of the Premises, the Building or the Project.
ARTICLE 12
NONWAIVER
No provision of this Lease shall be deemed waived by either party hereto
unless expressly waived in a writing signed thereby. The waiver by either
party hereto of any breach of any term, covenant or condition herein
contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of same
or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained. The subsequent
acceptance of Rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of
any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this
Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular Rent so
accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the
time of acceptance of such Rent. No acceptance of a lesser amount than the
Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to receive the
full amount due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or
payment or any letter accompanying such check or payment be deemed an accord
and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without
prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the full amount due. No receipt of
monies by Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease shall
in any way alter the length of the Lease Term or of Tenant’s right of
possession hereunder, or after the giving of any notice shall reinstate,
continue or extend the Lease Term or affect any notice given Tenant prior to
the receipt of such monies, it being agreed that after the service of notice
or the commencement of a suit, or after final judgment for possession of the
Premises, Landlord may receive and collect any Rent due, and the payment of
said Rent shall not waive or affect said notice, suit or judgment.
ARTICLE 13
CONDEMNATION
If the whole or any part of the Premises, Building or Project shall be taken by power
of eminent domain or condemned by any competent authority for any public or
quasi-public use or purpose, or if any adjacent property or street shall be so
taken or condemned, or reconfigured or vacated by such authority in such
manner as to require the use, reconstruction or remodeling of any part of the
Premises, Building or Project, or if Landlord shall grant a deed or other
CHINA BASIN LANDING | ||||
-23- | [LoopNet] |
instrument in lieu of such taking by eminent domain or condemnation, Landlord shall have
the option to terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is
required to be surrendered to the authority. If more than twenty-five percent
(25%) of the rentable square feet of the Premises is taken, or if access to
the Premises is substantially impaired, in each case for a period in
excess of one hundred eighty (180) days, Tenant shall have the option to
terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be
surrendered to the authority. Tenant shall not because of such taking assert
any claim against Landlord or the authority for any compensation because of
such talcing and Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award or payment in
connection therewith, except that Tenant shall have the right to file any
separate claim available to Tenant for any taking of Tenant’s personal
property and fixtures belonging to Tenant and removable by Tenant upon
expiration of the Lease Term pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and for
moving expenses, so long as such claims do not diminish the award available
to Landlord, its ground lessor with respect to the Building or Project or its
mortgagee, and such claim is payable separately to Tenant. All Rent shall be
apportioned as of the date of such termination. If any part of the Premises
shall be taken, and this Lease shall not be so terminated, the Rent shall
be proportionately abated. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it might
otherwise have pursuant to Section 1265.130 of The California Code of Civil
Procedure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article
13, in the event of a temporary taking of all or any portion of the Premises
for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days or less, then this Lease
shall not terminate but the Base Rent and the Additional Rent shall be abated for
the period of such taking in proportion to the ratio that the amount of
rentable square feet of the Premises taken bears to the total rentable square
feet of the Premises. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award
made in connection with any such temporary taking.
ARTICLE 14
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
14.1 Transfers. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of
Landlord, assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, or permit any lien
to attach to, or otherwise transfer, this Lease or any interest hereunder,
permit any assignment, or other transfer of this Lease or any interest
hereunder by operation of law, sublet the Premises or any part thereof,
or enter into any license or concession agreements or otherwise permit the
occupancy or use of the Premises or any part thereof by any persons other than
Tenant and its employees and contractors (all of the foregoing are hereinafter
sometimes referred to collectively as “Transfers” and any person to whom any
Transfer is made or sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes referred to as a
“Transferee”). If Tenant desires Landlord’s consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall
notify Landlord in writing, which notice (the “Transfer Notice”) shall include
(i) the proposed effective date of the Transfer, which shall not be less than
twenty (20) days nor more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of
delivery of the Transfer Notice, (ii) a description of the portion of the
Premises to be transferred (the “Subject Space”), (iii) all of the terms of
the proposed Transfer and the consideration therefor, including calculation of
the “Transfer Premium”, as that term is defined in Section 14.3 below, in
connection with such Transfer, the name and address of the proposed Transferee,
and a copy of all existing executed and/or proposed documentation pertaining to
the proposed Transfer, including all existing operative documents to be
executed to evidence such Transfer or the agreements incidental or related
to such Transfer, (iv) current financial statements of the proposed Transferee
certified by an officer, partner or owner thereof, business credit and personal
references and history of the proposed Transferee and any other information
reasonably required by Landlord (provided such information is requested by
Landlord within ten (10) days following Tenant’s submission to Landlord of the
Transfer Notice) which will enable Landlord to determine the
financial responsibility, character, and reputation of the proposed Transferee,
nature of such Transferee’s business and proposed use of the Subject Space, and
(v) an executed estoppel certificate from Tenant in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit E (which estoppel certificate shall be modified, as appropriate, to
contain accurate information). Landlord shall approve or disapprove of
the proposed transfer within twenty (20) days following Landlord’s receipt of
the applicable Transfer Notice and all documents requested by Landlord pursuant
to this Section 14.1 (the “Review Period”). In the event Landlord fails to
respond to any request for consent to a Transfer within the Review Period, then
Tenant shall have the right to provide Landlord with a second (2nd)
request for consent (the “Second Request”). The Second Request shall specify the terms
of the first request, and specifically state that Landlord’s failure to respond
within ten (10) days following Landlord’s receipt of the Second Request shall
be deemed Landlord’s approval of such
CHINA BASIN LANDING | ||||
-24- | [LoopNet] |
proposed Transfer. In the event Landlord fails to respond to Xxxxxx’s Second Request with
ten (10) days following Xxxxxxxx’s receipt of the Second Request, the
Proposed Transfer shall be deemed to have been approved by Landlord. Any
Transfer made without Landlord’s prior written consent shall, at Landlord’s
option, be null, void and of no effect, and shall, at Landlord’s option,
constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease. Whether or not Landlord consents to
any proposed Transfer, Tenant shall pay Landlord’s commercially reasonable
review and processing fees, as well as any reasonable professional fees
(including, without limitation, attorneys’, accountants’, architects’,
engineers’ and consultants’ fees) incurred by Xxxxxxxx, within thirty
(30) days after written request by Landlord.
14.2 Landlord’s Consent. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent
to any proposed Transfer of the Subject Space to the Transferee on the terms
specified in the Transfer Notice. In the event Landlord withholds its consent
to the proposed Transfer, in its notice to Tenant, Landlord shall set forth
in reasonable detail the basis for its determination. Without limitation as
to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent, the parties hereby agree
that it shall be reasonable under this Lease and under any applicable law for Landlord
to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer where one or more of the
following apply:
14.2.1 The Transferee is of a character or reputation or engaged in a
business which is not consistent with the quality of the Building or the
Project;
14.2.2 The Transferee intends to use the Subject Space for purposes which
are not permitted under this Lease;
14.2.3 The Transferee is either a governmental agency or instrumentality thereof;
14.2.4 The Transferee is not a party of reasonable financial worth
and/or financial stability in light of the responsibilities to be undertaken in
connection with the Transfer
on the date consent is requested;
14.2.5 The proposed Transfer would cause a violation of another lease for
space in the Project, or would give an occupant of the Project a right to
cancel its lease;
14.2.6 The terms of the proposed Transfer will allow the Transferee to exercise a
right of renewal, right of expansion, right of first offer, or other similar
right held by Tenant (or will allow the Transferee to occupy space leased by
Tenant pursuant to any such right); or
14.2.7 Either the proposed Transferee, or any person or entity which directly
or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the
proposed Transferee, is negotiating or has negotiated within the past three (3)
months with Landlord to lease space in the Project, provided that Landlord has
space in the Project reasonably consistent with the Transferee’s rentable area
requirements.
14.2.8 The Transferee does not intend to occupy the Subject Space and
conduct its business therefrom for a substantial portion of the term of the
Transfer.
If Landlord consents (or is deemed to have consented) to any Transfer pursuant to
the terms of this Section 14.2 (and does not exercise any recapture rights
Landlord may have under Section 14.4 of this Lease), Tenant may within six
(6) months after Landlord’s consent, but not later than the expiration of
said six-month period, enter into such Transfer of the Premises or portion
thereof, upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the
Transfer Notice furnished by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Section 14.1 of
this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if Tenant
or any proposed Transferee claims that Landlord has unreasonably withheld or
delayed its consent under Section 14.2 or otherwise has breached or acted
unreasonably under this Article 14, their sole remedies shall be a declaratory
judgment and an injunction for the relief sought without any monetary
damages, and Tenant hereby waives all other remedies, including, without
limitation, any right at law or equity to terminate this Lease, on its own
behalf and, to the extent permitted under all applicable laws, on behalf of
the proposed Transferee.
14.3 Transfer Premium. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, as a condition
thereto which the parties hereby agree is reasonable, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord fifty percent (50%) of any “Transfer Premium,” as that term is
defined in this Section 14.3, received by Tenant from such Transferee;
provided, however, that Tenant shall not be required to pay to Landlord any
CHINA BASIN LANDING | ||||
-25- | [LoopNet] |
Transfer Premium until such time as Tenant has recovered all applicable “Subleasing Costs,”
as that term is defined hereinbelow. “Transfer Premium” shall mean all rent,
additional rent or other consideration payable by such Transferee in
connection with the Transfer in excess of the Rent and Additional Rent
payable by Tenant under this Lease during the term of the Transfer on a per
rentable square foot basis if less than all of the Premises is transferred, after deducting
the reasonable expenses incurred by Tenant for (i) any changes, alterations
and improvements to the Premises in connection with the Transfer, (ii) any
commercially reasonable brokerage commissions in connection with the
Transfer, (iii) reasonable legal fees in connection with the Transfer, and
(iv) reasonable out-of-pocket costs of advertising the Subject Space related to
the Transfer (items (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) collectively referred to herein
as the “Subleasing Costs”). “Transfer Premium” shall also include, but not be
limited to, key money, bonus money or other cash consideration paid by
Transferee to Tenant in connection with such Transfer, and any payment in
excess of fair market value for services rendered by Tenant to Transferee or
for assets, fixtures, inventory, equipment, or furniture transferred by
Tenant to Transferee in connection with such Transfer. In the calculations of
the Rent (as it relates to the Transfer Premium calculated under this
Section 14.3), the Rent paid during each annual period for
the Subject Space, shall be computed after adjusting such rent to the actual
effective rent to be paid, taking into consideration any and all leasehold
concessions granted in connection therewith, including, but not limited to,
any rent credit and tenant improvement allowance.
14.4 Landlord’s Option as to Subject Space. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Article 14, and except as set forth in Section
14.8, below, with respect to a Transfer (i) for not less than twenty-five
percent (25%) of the Premises, and/or (ii) for the entire remaining Lease Term,
Landlord shall have the option, by giving written notice to Tenant within
twenty (20) days after receipt of any Transfer Notice, to recapture the Subject
Space. Such recapture notice shall cancel and terminate this Lease with respect
to the Subject Space as of the date stated in the Transfer Notice as the
effective date of the proposed Transfer until the last day of the term of the
Transfer as set forth in the Transfer Notice (or at Landlord’s option, shall
cause the Transfer to be made to Landlord or its agent, in which case the parties
shall execute the Transfer documentation promptly thereafter). In the event
of a recapture by Landlord, if this Lease shall be canceled with respect to
less than the entire Premises, the Rent reserved herein shall be prorated on
the basis of the number of rentable square feet retained by Tenant in
proportion to the number of rentable square feet contained in the Premises, and
this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect,
and upon request of either party, the parties shall execute written
confirmation of the same. If Landlord declines, or fails to elect in a timely
manner to recapture the Subject Space under this Section 14.4, then,
provided Landlord has consented to the proposed Transfer, Tenant shall be
entitled to proceed to transfer the Subject Space to the proposed Transferee,
subject to provisions of this Article 14.
14.5 Effect of Transfer. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, (i) the terms
and conditions of this Lease shall in no way be deemed to have been waived or
modified, (ii) such consent shall not be deemed consent to any further Transfer
by either Tenant or a Transferee, (iii) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord,
promptly after execution, an original executed copy of all documentation
pertaining to the Transfer in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (iv)
Tenant shall furnish upon Landlord’s request a complete statement, certified by
an independent certified public accountant, or Tenant’s chief financial
officer, setting forth in detail the computation of any Transfer Premium Tenant
has derived and shall derive from such Transfer, and (v) no Transfer relating
to this Lease or agreement entered into with respect thereto, whether with
or without Landlord’s consent, shall relieve Tenant or any guarantor of the
Lease from any liability under this Lease, including, without limitation, in
connection with the Subject Space. Landlord or its authorized representatives
shall have the right at all reasonable times to audit the books, records and
papers of Tenant relating to any Transfer, and shall have the right to make
copies thereof. If the Transfer Premium respecting any Transfer shall be
found understated, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after demand, pay the
deficiency, and if understated by more than two percent (2%), Tenant shall pay
Landlord’s reasonable costs of such audit.
14.6 Additional Transfers. Except as set forth in Section 14.8, below, for purposes
of this Lease, the term “Transfer” shall also include (i) if Tenant is a
partnership, the withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation
of law, of fifty percent (50%) or more of the partners, or transfer of fifty
percent (50%) or more of partnership interests, within a twelve (12)- month
period, or the dissolution of the partnership without immediate reconstitution thereof,
and (ii) if Tenant is a closely held corporation (i.e., whose stock is not
publicly held and not traded through an exchange or over the counter), (A) the
dissolution, merger, consolidation or other
CHINA BASIN LANDING | ||||
-26- | [LoopNet] |
reorganization of Tenant or (B) the sale or other transfer of an aggregate of fifty percent
(50%) or more of the voting shares of Tenant (other than to immediate family
members by reason of gift or death), within a twelve (12)-month period, or
(C) the sale, mortgage, hypothecation or pledge of an aggregate of fifty
percent (50%) or more of the value of the unencumbered assets of Tenant
within a twelve (12)-month period.
14.7 Occurrence of Default. Any Transfer hereunder shall be subordinate and
subject to the provisions of this Lease, and if this Lease shall be terminated
during the term of any Transfer, Landlord shall have the right to: (i) treat
such Transfer as cancelled and repossess the Subject Space by any lawful means,
or (ii) require that such Transferee attorn to and recognize Landlord as its
landlord under any such Transfer. If Tenant shall be in default under this
Lease, Landlord is hereby irrevocably authorized, as Xxxxxx’s agent and
attorney-in-fact, to direct any Transferee to make all payments under or in
connection with the Transfer directly to Landlord (which Landlord shall apply
towards Tenant’s obligations under this Lease) until such default is cured.
Such Transferee shall rely on any representation by Landlord that Tenant is in
default hereunder, without any need for confirmation thereof by Xxxxxx. Upon
any assignment, the assignee shall assume in writing all obligations and
covenants of Tenant thereafter to be performed or observed under this Lease. No
collection or acceptance of rent by Landlord from any Transferee shall be
deemed a waiver of any provision of this Article 14 or the approval of any
Transferee or a release of Tenant from any obligation under this Lease, whether
theretofore or thereafter accruing. In no event shall Landlord’s enforcement
of any provision of this Lease against any Transferee be deemed a waiver of
Landlord’s right to enforce any term of this Lease against Tenant or any other
person. If Xxxxxx’s obligations hereunder have been guaranteed, Xxxxxxxx’s
consent to any Transfer shall not be effective unless the guarantor also consents
to such Transfer.
14.8 Non-Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Article 14, neither (i) an assignment to an entity which acquires all or
substantially all of the stock or assets of Tenant, (ii) an assignment of the
Premises to a transferee which is the resulting entity of a merger or
consolidation of Tenant with another entity, nor (iii) an assignment
or subletting of all or a portion of the Premises to an affiliate of Tenant (an
entity which is controlled by, controls, or is under common control with,
Tenant) (collectively, “Affiliates”), shall be deemed a Transfer under this
Article 14, provided that Tenant notifies Landlord of any such assignment or
sublease and promptly supplies Landlord with any documents or
information reasonably requested by Landlord regarding such assignment or
sublease or such Affiliate (excluding any documentation regarding the economic
terms of the merger or sale transaction, but including documentation regarding
the assignment or subletting), and further provided that such assignment or
sublease is not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under
this Lease. “Control,” as used in this Section 14.8, shall mean the
ownership, directly or indirectly, of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the
voting securities of, or possession of the right to vote, in the ordinary
direction of its affairs, of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting interest
in, any person or entity.
ARTICLE 15
SURRENDER OF PREMISES; OWNERSHIP AND
REMOVAL OF TRADE FIXTURES
REMOVAL OF TRADE FIXTURES
15.1
Surrender of Premises. No act or thing done by Landlord or any agent
or employee of Landlord during the Lease Term shall be deemed to constitute an
acceptance by Landlord of a surrender of the Premises unless such intent is
specifically acknowledged in writing by Landlord. The delivery of keys to the
Premises to Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord shall not constitute
a surrender of the Premises or effect a termination of this Lease, whether or
not the keys are thereafter retained by Landlord, and notwithstanding such
delivery Tenant shall be entitled to the return of such keys at any reasonable
time upon request until this Lease shall have been properly terminated. The
voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Xxxxxx, whether accepted by
Landlord or not, or a mutual termination hereof, shall not work a merger, and
at the option of Landlord shall operate as an assignment to Landlord of all
subleases or subtenancies affecting the Premises or terminate any or all such
sublessees or subtenancies.
15.2 Removal of Tenant Property by Xxxxxx. Upon the expiration of the
Lease Term, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall,
subject to the provisions of this Article 15, quit and surrender possession of
the Premises to Landlord in as good order and
CHINA BASIN LANDING | ||||
-27- | [LoopNet] |
condition as when Xxxxxx took possession and as thereafter improved by Landlord
and/or Tenant, reasonable wear and tear, damage from a casualty which is
Xxxxxxxx’s obligation to repair under Article 11 of this Lease, and repairs
which are specifically made the responsibility of Landlord hereunder excepted.
Upon such expiration or termination, Tenant shall, without expense to Landlord,
remove or cause to be removed from the Premises all debris and rubbish, and
such items of furniture, equipment, business and trade fixtures, free-standing cabinet
work, movable partitions and other articles of personal property owned by
Tenant or installed or placed by Tenant at its expense in the Premises (the
“Tenant Personal Property”), and such similar articles of any other persons
claiming under Tenant, as Landlord may, in its sole discretion, require to be
removed, and Tenant shall repair at its own expense all damage to the Premises
and Building resulting from such removal. Landlord shall have the right, at
Xxxxxx’s sole cost and expense, to dispose of any Tenant Personal Property
remaining in the Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease in any manner Landlord sees fit.
CHINA BASIN LANDING | ||||
-28- | [LoopNet] |
ARTICLE 16
HOLDING OVER
If Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Lease Term or earlier termination
thereof, with or without the express or implied consent of Landlord, such
tenancy shall be from month-to-month only, and shall not constitute a
renewal hereof or an extension for any further term, and in such case Rent
shall be payable at a monthly rate equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%)
of the Rent applicable during the last rental period of the Lease Term under
this Lease for the first two (2) months following the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease, and two hundred percent (200%) thereafter. Such
month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other applicable term,
covenant and agreement contained herein. Nothing contained in this Article
16 shall be construed as consent by Landlord to any holding over by Xxxxxx,
and Landlord expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender
possession of the Premises to Landlord as provided in this Lease upon the
expiration or other termination of this Lease. The provisions of this
Article 16 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or
remedies of Landlord provided herein or at law. If Xxxxxx fails to surrender
the Premises upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, in addition to
any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall protect,
defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, costs (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees) and liability resulting from such failure,
including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claims made
by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to surrender and any lost
profits to Landlord resulting therefrom.
ARTICLE 17
ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES
Within five (5) business days following a request in writing by Landlord, Tenant
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate,
which, as submitted by Landlord, shall be substantially in the form
of Exhibit E, attached hereto (or such other form as may be required by any prospective
mortgagee or purchaser of the Project, or any portion thereof), indicating
therein any exceptions thereto that may exist at that time, and shall
also contain any other information reasonably requested by Landlord or
Landlord’s mortgagee or prospective mortgagee. Any such certificate may be
relied upon by any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of all or any portion of
the Project. Tenant shall execute and deliver whatever other instruments may
be reasonably required for such purposes. At any time during the Lease
Term (but no more than once per a calendar year), Landlord may require Tenant
to provide Landlord with a current financial statement and financial
statements of the two (2) years prior to the current financial statement year.
Such statements shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and, if such is the normal practice of Tenant, shall be audited
by an independent certified public accountant. Failure of Tenant to timely
execute, acknowledge and deliver such estoppel certificate or other
instruments shall constitute an acceptance of the Premises and an
acknowledgment by Tenant that statements included in the estoppel
certificate are true and correct, without exception. In connection with an
assignment of the Lease by Tenant pursuant to Section 14.8, above, Landlord
hereby agrees to provide to Tenant an estoppel certificate signed by Landlord,
containing the same types of information, and within the same time periods set
forth above, with such changes to the Estoppel certificate as are
reasonably necessary to reflect that the estoppel certificate is being given
by Landlord to Tenant rather than from Tenant to Landlord or a lender.
ARTICLE 18
SUBORDINATION
This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to all present and future ground or
underlying leases of the Building or Project and to the lien of any mortgage,
trust deed or other encumbrances now or hereafter in force against the
Building or Project or any part thereof, if any, and to all renewals,
extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof, and to all
advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security of such mortgages or trust
deeds, unless the holders of such mortgages, trust deeds or other
encumbrances, or the lessors under such ground lease or underlying leases,
require in writing that this Lease be superior thereto. In consideration of,
and as a condition precedent to, Xxxxxx’s agreement to permit its
interest pursuant to this Lease to be subordinated to any particular future
ground or underlying lease of
CHINA BASIN LANDING | ||||
-29- | [LoopNet] |
the Building or the Project or to the lien of any mortgage or trust deed, first encumbering
the Building or the Project following the date hereof, and to any renewals,
extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof, Landlord
shall deliver to Tenant a commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement
executed by the landlord under such ground lease or underlying lease or the
holder of such mortgage or trust deed, as appropriate. Tenant covenants and
agrees in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any such mortgage
or deed in lieu thereof (or if any ground lease is terminated), to attorn,
without any deductions or set-offs whatsoever, to the lienholder or purchaser
or any successors thereto upon any such foreclosure sale or deed in lieu
thereof (or to the ground lessor), if so requested to do so by such purchaser
or lienholder or ground lessor, and to recognize such purchaser or lienholder or
ground lessor as the lessor under this Lease, provided such lienholder or
purchaser or ground lessor shall agree to accept this Lease and not disturb
Tenant’s occupancy, so long as Tenant timely pays the rent and observes and
performs the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be observed and
performed by Xxxxxx. Xxxxxxxx’s interest herein may be assigned as security at any time
to any lienholder. Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days of request by
Landlord, execute such further instruments or assurances as Landlord may
reasonably deem necessary to evidence or confirm the subordination or
superiority of this Lease to any such mortgages, trust deeds, ground leases or
underlying leases. Tenant waives the provisions of any current or future statute, rule
or law which may give or purport to give Tenant any right or election to
terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of the
Tenant hereunder in the event of any foreclosure proceeding or sale. Tenant
shall, within five (5) business days of request by Landlord from time to time,
(i) execute a commercially reasonable Nondisturbance and Attornment Agreement
in the form reasonably approved by Xxxxxxxx’s mortgagee in favor of
any mortgagee of the Building or Project, and (ii) execute any other
commercially reasonable form of nondisturbance and attornment agreement (or
subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement, or subordination of
the applicable mortgagee’s lien) reasonably required by any mortgagee of the
Building or Project which provides comparable nondisturbance protection
to Tenant in the event of a foreclosure. Following the full execution and
delivery of this Lease, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain from the holder of the deed of trust encumbering the property as of the
date hereof (the “Lender”), a commercially reasonable subordination,
non-disturbance and attornment agreement in favor of Tenant.
ARTICLE 19
DEFAULTS; REMEDIES

constitute a default of this Lease by Tenant:
19.1.1 Any failure by Tenant to pay any Rent or any other charge required to
be paid under this Lease, or any part thereof, when due unless such failure is
cured within three (3) business days after written notice that the same was
not paid when due; or
19.1.2 Except where a specific time period is otherwise set forth for
Tenant’s performance in this Lease, in which event the failure to perform by
Tenant within such time period shall be a default by Tenant under this Section
19.1.2, any failure by Tenant to observe or perform any other provision,
covenant or condition of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant
where such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof
from Landlord to Tenant; provided that if the nature of such default is such
that the same cannot reasonably be cured within a thirty (30) day period,
Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if it diligently commences such
cure within such period and thereafter diligently proceeds to rectify and cure
such default, but in no event exceeding a period of time in excess of thirty (30)
days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; or
19.1.3 To the extent permitted by law, a general assignment by Tenant or
any guarantor of the Lease for the benefit of creditors, or the taking of any
corporate action in furtherance of bankruptcy or dissolution whether or not
there exists any proceeding under an insolvency or bankruptcy law, or the
filing by or against Tenant or any guarantor of any proceeding under an
insolvency or bankruptcy law, unless in the case of a proceeding filed against
Tenant or any guarantor the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days, or the
appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of all or

located upon the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, unless such seizure is
discharged within thirty (30) days; or
19.1.4 Abandonment or vacation of all or a substantial portion of the Premises by Tenant; or
19.1.5 The failure by Xxxxxx to observe or perform according to the provisions
of Articles 5, 17 or 18 of this Lease where such failure continues for more
than five (5) business days after notice from Landlord.
The notice periods provided herein are in lieu of, and not in addition to, any
notice periods provided by law.
19.2 Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of any event of default
by Tenant, Landlord shall have, in addition to any other remedies available
to Landlord at law or in equity (all of which remedies shall be distinct,
separate and cumulative), the option to pursue any one or more of the
following remedies, each and all of which shall be cumulative and
nonexclusive, without any notice or demand whatsoever.
19.2.1 Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately
surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord
may, without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for possession or
arrearages in rent, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel
or remove Xxxxxx and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any
part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim or damages
therefor; and Landlord may recover from Tenant the following:
(i) The worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which has
been earned at the time of such termination; plus
(ii) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the
unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of
award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have
been reasonably avoided; plus
(iii) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the
unpaid rent for the balance of the Lease Term after the time of award exceeds
the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably
avoided; plus
(iv) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all
the detriment proximately caused by Xxxxxx’s failure to perform its
obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would
be likely to result therefrom, specifically including but not limited to,
brokerage commissions and advertising expenses incurred, expenses
of remodeling the Premises or any portion thereof for a new tenant, whether
for the same or a different use, and any special concessions made to obtain a
new tenant; and
(v) At Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in
lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable law.
The term “rent” as used in this Section 19.2 shall be deemed to be and to mean all sums of
every nature required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this
Lease, whether to Landlord or to others. As used in Paragraphs 19.2.1(i) and
(ii), above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing
interest at the rate set forth in Article 25 of this Lease, but in no
case greater than the maximum amount of such interest permitted by law. As
used in Paragraph 19.2.1(iii) above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be
computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal
Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).
19.2.2 Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil
Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after xxxxxx’s
breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if xxxxxx has the
right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations).
Accordingly, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of
any default by Tenant, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating
this Lease, enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease,
including the right to recover all rent as it becomes due.

-31- | [LoopNet] |
19.2.3 Landlord shall at all times have the rights and remedies (which shall
be cumulative with each other and cumulative and in addition to those rights
and remedies available under Sections 19.2.1 and 19.2.2, above, or any law or
other provision of this Lease), without prior demand or notice except as
required by applicable law, to seek any declaratory, injunctive or other
equitable relief, and specifically enforce this Lease, or restrain or enjoin a violation
or breach of any provision hereof.
19.3 Subleases of Tenant. Whether or not Landlord elects to terminate this Lease
on account of any default by Xxxxxx, as set forth in this Article 19,
Landlord shall have the right to terminate any and all subleases, licenses,
concessions or other consensual arrangements for possession entered into by
Xxxxxx and affecting the Premises within ten (10) days of notice from Landlord,
or may, in Landlord’s sole discretion, succeed to Xxxxxx’s interest in such
subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements. In the event of Xxxxxxxx’s
election to succeed to Xxxxxx’s interest in any such subleases, licenses,
concessions or arrangements, Tenant shall, as of the date of notice by Landlord
of such election, have no further right to or interest in the rent or
other consideration receivable thereunder.
19.4 Form of Payment After Default. Following the occurrence of an event
of default by Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to require that any or all
subsequent amounts paid by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, whether to cure the
default in question or otherwise, be paid in the form of money order, cashier’s
or certified check drawn on an institution acceptable to Landlord, or by other
means reasonably approved by Landlord, notwithstanding any prior practice of
accepting payments in any different form.
19.5 Efforts to Relet. No re-entry or repossession, repairs, maintenance,
changes, alterations and additions, reletting, appointment of a receiver to
protect Landlord’s interests hereunder, or any other action or omission by
Landlord shall be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease
or Tenant’s right to possession, or to accept a surrender of the Premises, nor
shall same operate to release Tenant in whole or in part from any of
Tenant’s obligations hereunder, unless express written notice of such intention
is sent by Landlord to Tenant. Tenant hereby irrevocably waives any right
otherwise available under any law to redeem or reinstate this Lease.

COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT
Landlord covenants that Tenant, on paying the Rent, charges for services and
other payments herein reserved and on keeping, observing and performing all
the other terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements herein

its obligations under this Lease. If Tenant defaults with respect to any
provisions of this Lease, including, but not limited to, the provisions
relating to the payment of Rent, the removal of property and the repair of
resultant damage, Landlord may, without notice to Tenant, but shall not be
required to apply all or any part of the Security Deposit necessary for the

(10) days following demand therefor, restore the Security Deposit to its
original amount. Any unapplied portion of the Security Deposit shall be returned to
Tenant, or, at Landlord’s option, to the last assignee of Xxxxxx’s interest
hereunder, within sixty (60) days following the expiration of the Lease Term.

INTENTIONALLY DELETED
ARTICLE 23
SIGNS
23.1 Full Floors. Subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, in its sole
discretion, and provided all signs are in keeping with the quality, design and
style of the Building and Project, Tenant, if the Premises comprise an entire
floor of the Building, at its sole cost and expense, may install identification
signage anywhere in the Premises including in the elevator lobby of the
Premises, provided that such signs must not be visible from the exterior of
the Building.
23.2 Multi-Tenant Floors. If other tenants occupy space on the floor on which
the Premises is located, Tenant’s identifying signage shall be provided by
Landlord, at Tenant’s cost, and such signage shall be comparable to that used
by Landlord for other similar floors in the Building and shall comply with
Landlord’s Building standard signage program.
23.3
Prohibited Signage and Other Items. Any signs, notices, logos, pictures,
names or advertisements which are installed and that have not been separately
approved by Landlord may be removed without notice by Landlord at the sole
expense of Tenant. Tenant may not install any signs on the exterior or roof
of the Project or the Common Areas. Any signs, window coverings, or blinds
(even if the same are located behind the Landlord-approved window coverings for
the Building), or other items visible from the exterior of the Premises or
Building, shall be subject to the prior approval of Landlord, in its sole
discretion.
23.4 Building Directory. Tenant shall be provided one (1) line on the

ARTICLE 24
COMPLIANCE WITH LAW
Tenant shall not do anything or suffer anything to be done in or about the Premises or
the Project which will in any way conflict with any law, statute, ordinance or
other governmental rule, regulation or requirement now in force or which may
hereafter be enacted or promulgated (collectively, the “Applicable Laws”). At
its sole cost and expense, Tenant shall promptly comply with all such
Applicable Laws which relate to (i) Tenant’s use of the Premises, (ii)
the Alterations or “Tenant Improvements,” as that term is defined in Section
2.1 of the Tenant Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit B, in the Premises,
or (iii) the Base Building, but as to the Base Building, only to the extent
such obligations are triggered by Tenant’s Alterations, the
Tenant Improvements, or Xxxxxx’s use of the Premises for non-general office
use. Should any standard or regulation now or hereafter be imposed on Landlord
or Tenant by a state, federal or local governmental body charged with the
establishment, regulation and enforcement of occupational, health or safety
standards for employers, employees, landlords or tenants, then Tenant agrees,
at its sole cost and expense, to comply promptly with such standards or
regulations. Tenant shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, to
make all alterations to the Premises as are required to comply with the
governmental rules, regulations, requirements or standards described in
this Article 24. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the
admission of Tenant in any judicial action, regardless of whether Landlord is
a party thereto, that Xxxxxx has violated any of said governmental measures,
shall be conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant. Landlord
shall comply with all Applicable Laws relating to the Base Building and
the Common Areas, provided that compliance with such Applicable Laws is not
the responsibility of Tenant under this Lease, and provided further that
Landlord’s failure to comply therewith would prohibit Tenant from obtaining or
maintaining a certificate of occupancy for the Premises, or would unreasonably
and materially affect the safety of Tenant’s employees or create a
significant health hazard for Tenant’s employees. Landlord shall be permitted
to include in Operating Expenses any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord
under this Article 24, but only to the extent consistent with the terms of
Section 4.2.4, above.
ARTICLE 25
LATE CHARGES
If any installment of Rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received
by Landlord or Landlord’s designee within five (5) days after said amount is
due, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to (i) with respect
to the first occurrence, three percent (3%) of the overdue amount; and (ii)
thereafter, five percent (5%) of the overdue amount, plus, in each instance,
any attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s failure to pay
Xxxx and/or other charges when due hereunder. The late charge shall be deemed
Additional Rent and the right to require it shall be in addition to all of
Landlord’s other rights and remedies hereunder or at law and shall not be
construed as liquidated damages or as limiting Landlord’s remedies in any
manner. In addition to the late charge described above, any Rent or other amounts
owing hereunder which are not paid within ten (10) days after the date they
are due shall bear interest from the date when due until paid at a rate per
annum equal to the highest rate permitted by applicable law.
ARTICLE 26
LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULT; PAYMENTS BY TENANT
26.1 Landlord’s Cure. All covenants and agreements to be kept or performed
by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost
and expense and without any reduction of Rent, except to the extent, if any,
otherwise expressly provided herein. If Tenant shall fail to perform any
obligation under this Lease, and such failure shall continue in excess of the
time allowed under Section 19.1.2, above, unless a specific time period is
otherwise stated in this Lease, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to,
make any such payment or perform any such act on Tenant’s part without waiving
its rights based upon any default of Tenant and without releasing Tenant from
any obligations hereunder.
26.2 Tenant’s Reimbursement. Except as may be specifically provided to
the contrary in this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30)
days following delivery
CHINA BASIN LANDING | ||||
-34- | [LoopNet] |
by Landlord to Tenant of statements therefor: (i) sums equal to expenditures reasonably
made and obligations incurred by Landlord in connection with the remedying by
Landlord of Tenant’s defaults pursuant to the provisions of Section 26.1;
(ii) sums equal to all losses, costs, liabilities, damages and expenses
referred to in Article 10 of this Lease; and (iii) sums equal to
all expenditures made and obligations incurred by Landlord in collecting or
attempting to collect the Rent or in enforcing or attempting to enforce any
rights of Landlord under this Lease or pursuant to law, including, without
limitation, all legal fees and other amounts so expended.
Tenant’s obligations under this Section 26.2 shall survive the expiration or
sooner termination of the Lease Term.
ARTICLE 27
ENTRY BY LANDLORD
Landlord reserves the right at all reasonable times and upon reasonable notice to
Tenant (except in the case of an emergency) to enter the Premises to (i)
inspect them; (ii) show the Premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagees
or, during the last nine (9) months of the Lease Term, to tenants, or to
current or prospective mortgagees, ground or underlying lessors or insurers;
(iii) post notices of nonresponsibility; or (iv) alter, improve or repair the Premises,
the premises of other tenants in the Building, or the Building, or for
structural alterations, repairs, additions, or improvements to the Building
or the Building’s systems and equipment. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Article 27, Landlord may enter the Premises at any
time to (A) perform services required of Landlord, including janitorial service;
(B) take possession due to any breach of this Lease in the manner provided herein; and
(C) perform any covenants of Tenant which Xxxxxx fails to perform. Landlord may make
any such entries without the abatement of Rent (except as provided in Section
6.4 of this Lease) and may take such reasonable steps as required to accomplish
the stated purposes; provided, however, except for (i) emergencies, (ii)
repairs, alterations, improvements or additions required by governmental or
quasi-governmental authorities or court order or decree, or (iii) repairs
which are the obligation of Tenant, hereunder, Landlord shall use commercially
reasonable efforts not to adversely interfere with Tenant’s use or access to
the Premises. Tenant hereby waives any claims for damages or for any injuries
or inconvenience to or interference with Xxxxxx’s business, lost profits, any
loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any other
loss occasioned thereby. For each of the above purposes, Landlord shall at all
times have a key with which to unlock all the doors in the Premises, excluding
Tenant’s vaults, safes and special security areas designated in advance by
Tenant. In an emergency, Landlord shall have the right to use any means that
Landlord may deem proper to open the doors in and to the Premises. Any entry
into the Premises by Landlord in the manner hereinbefore described shall not be deemed
to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an
actual or constructive eviction of Tenant from any portion of the Premises.
No provision of this Lease shall be construed as obligating Landlord to perform
any repairs, alterations or decorations except as otherwise expressly agreed to
be performed by Landlord herein.
ARTICLE 28
TENANT PARKING
Tenant shall have the right to rent from Landlord, commencing on the
Lease Commencement Date, up to the amount of parking passes set forth in
Section 9 of the Summary, on a monthly basis throughout the Lease Term, which
parking passes shall pertain to the Project parking facility. Tenant may
change the number of unreserved parking passes rented pursuant to this Article
28 upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord, provided that in
no event shall Tenant be entitled to rent more than the amount of unreserved
parking passes set forth in Section 9 of the Summary. Tenant shall pay to
Landlord for automobile parking passes on a monthly basis the prevailing rate
charged from time to time at the location of such parking passes. In addition,
Tenant shall be responsible for the full amount of any taxes imposed by
any governmental authority in connection with the renting of such parking
passes by Tenant or the use of the parking facility by Tenant. Tenant’s
continued right to use the parking passes is conditioned upon Tenant abiding
by all rules and regulations which are prescribed from time to time for the
orderly operation and use of the parking facility where the parking passes
are located, including any sticker or other identification system established
by Landlord, Tenant’s cooperation in seeing that Tenant’s employees and
visitors also comply with such rules and regulations and Tenant not being in
default under this Lease beyond any applicable cure period
CHINA BASIN LANDING | ||||
-35- | [LoopNet] |
set forth herein. Landlord specifically reserves the right to change the location,
size, configuration, design, layout and all other aspects of the Project
parking facility at any time and Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord
may, without incurring any liability to Tenant and without any abatement of
Rent under this Lease, from time to time, close-off or restrict access to the
Project parking facility for purposes of permitting or facilitating any
such construction, alteration or improvements or cease providing the parking
passes if space is no longer available. Landlord may delegate its
responsibilities hereunder to a parking operator in which case such parking
operator shall have all the rights of control attributed hereby to
the Landlord. The parking passes rented by Tenant pursuant to this Article 28
are provided to Tenant solely for use by Xxxxxx’s own personnel and such
passes may not be transferred, assigned, subleased or otherwise alienated by
Tenant without Xxxxxxxx’s prior approval. Tenant may validate visitor parking
by such method or methods as the Landlord may establish, at the validation
rate from time to time generally applicable to visitor parking.
ARTICLE 29
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
29.1 Terms; Captions. The words “Landlord” and “Tenant” as used herein
shall include the plural as well as the singular. The necessary grammatical
changes required to make the provisions hereof apply either to corporations or
partnerships or individuals, men or women, as the case may require, shall in
all cases be assumed as though in each case fully expressed. The captions of

any assignment by Tenant contrary to the provisions of Article 14 of this Lease.
29.3 No Air Rights. No rights to any view or to light or air over any
property, whether belonging to Landlord or any other person, are granted to
Tenant by this Lease. If at any time any windows of the Premises are

any repairs, improvements, maintenance or cleaning in or about the Project, the
same shall be without liability to Landlord and without any reduction or
diminution of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.
29.4 Modification of Lease. Should any current or prospective mortgagee or
ground lessor for the Building or Project reasonably require a modification of
this Lease, which modification will not cause an increased cost or expense to
Tenant or in any other way materially and adversely change the rights and
obligations of Tenant hereunder, then and in such event, Xxxxxx agrees that
this Lease may be so modified and agrees to execute whatever documents
are reasonably required therefor and to deliver the same to Landlord within
twenty (20) days following a request therefor. Landlord agrees that Landlord
shall reimburse Tenant its reasonable costs in connection with Xxxxxx’s review
and approval of such modifications (provided that reimbursement by Landlord
shall in no event exceed $1,000.00). At the request of Landlord or any
mortgagee or ground lessor, Xxxxxx agrees to execute a short form of Lease
and deliver the same to Landlord within ten (10) days following the request
therefor.
29.5 Transfer of Landlord’s Interest. Tenant acknowledges that Xxxxxxxx has
the right to transfer all or any portion of its interest in the Project or
Building and in this Lease, and Xxxxxx agrees that in the event of any such
transfer, Landlord shall automatically be released from all liability under
this Lease not accrued as of the date of the transfer, and Xxxxxx agrees
to look solely to such transferee for the performance of Landlord’s
obligations hereunder after the date of transfer upon agreement by such
transferee to fully assume and be liable for all obligations of this Lease to
be performed by Xxxxxxxx, including the return of any Security Deposit, and
Tenant shall attorn to such transferee. Tenant further acknowledges that
Landlord may assign its interest in this Lease to a mortgage lender as
additional security and agrees that such an assignment shall not release
Landlord from its obligations hereunder and that Tenant shall continue to look
to Landlord for the performance of its obligations hereunder.

every provision of this Lease in which time of performance is a factor.

unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each and every other
term, provision and condition of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable to
the fullest extent possible permitted by law.
29.12 No Warranty. In executing and delivering this Lease, Tenant has not relied
on any representations, including, but not limited to, any representation as to

Additional Rent in the aggregate or that Landlord is furnishing the same
services to other tenants, at all, on the same level or on the same basis, or
any warranty or any statement of Landlord which is not set forth herein or in one
or more of the exhibits attached hereto.
29.13 Landlord Exculpation. The liability of Landlord or the Landlord Parties
to Tenant for any default by Landlord under this Lease or arising in connection
herewith or with Landlord’s operation, management, leasing, repair, renovation,
alteration or any other matter relating to the Project or the Premises shall be
limited solely and exclusively to an amount which is equal to the interest of
Landlord in the Building, provided that in no event shall such liability extend
to any sales or insurance proceeds received by Landlord or the Landlord Parties
in connection with the Project, Building or Premises. Neither Landlord, nor
any of the Landlord Parties shall have any personal liability therefor, and

of itself and all persons claiming by, through or under Tenant. The
limitations of liability contained in this Section 29.13 shall inure to the benefit
of Landlord’s and the Landlord Parties’ present and future partners,
beneficiaries, officers, directors, trustees, shareholders, agents and

arrangements, brochures, agreements and understandings, if any, between the
parties hereto or displayed by Landlord to Tenant with respect to the subject
matter thereof, and none thereof shall be used to interpret or construe this

29.15 Right to Lease. Landlord reserves the absolute right to effect such
other tenancies in the Project as Landlord in the exercise of its sole business
judgment shall determine to best promote the interests of the Building or
Project. Tenant does not rely on the fact, nor does Landlord represent, that
any specific tenant or type or number of tenants shall, during the Lease Term,
occupy any space in the Building or Project.
29.16 Force Majeure. Any prevention, delay or stoppage due to strikes, lockouts,
labor disputes, acts of God, inability to obtain services, labor, or materials
or reasonable substitutes therefor, governmental actions, civil commotions,
fire or other casualty, and other causes beyond the reasonable control of the
party obligated to perform, except with respect to the obligations imposed with
regard to Rent and other charges to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease
and except as to Tenant’s obligations under Articles 5 and 24 of this
Lease (collectively, a “Force Majeure”), notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Lease, shall excuse the performance of such party
for a period equal to any such prevention, delay or stoppage and, therefore, if
this Lease specifies a time period for performance of an obligation of either
party, that time period shall be extended by the period of any delay in such
party’s performance caused by a Force Majeure.
29.17 Waiver of Redemption by Xxxxxx. Tenant hereby waives, for Tenant and for
all those claiming under Tenant, any and all rights now or hereafter existing
to redeem by order or judgment of any court or by any legal process or writ,

other communications (collectively, “Notices”) given or required to be given by
either party to the other hereunder or by law shall be in writing, shall be (A)
sent by United States certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return
receipt requested ( “Mail”), (B) transmitted by telecopy, if such telecopy is
promptly followed by a Notice sent by Mail, (C) delivered by a
nationally recognized overnight courier, or (D) delivered personally. Any
Notice shall be sent, transmitted, or delivered, as the case may be, to Tenant
or Landlord at the appropriate address set forth in Section 10 or 11 of the

relating to the design and construction of Tenant’s improvements which are

costs relating to the initial design and construction of the Tenant
Improvements. In the event Tenant exercises its right to use all or any
EXHIBIT B | CHINA BASIN LANDING | |||
-1- | [LoopNet] |
portion of the Additional Allowance, the monthly Base Rent for the Premises shall be
increased by an amount equal to the “Additional Monthly Base Rent,” as that
term is defined below, in order to repay the Additional Allowance to Landlord.
The “Additional Monthly Base Rent” shall be determined as the missing component
of an annuity, which annuity shall have (i) the amount of the Additional
Allowance which Tenant elects to utilize as the present value amount, (ii)
sixty (60) as the number of payments, (iii) seventy-five one-hundredths (.75),

parties shall promptly execute an amendment (the “Amendment”) to this Lease
setting forth the new amount of the Base Rent and Tenant Improvement Allowance
computed in accordance with this Section 2.1, and (c) the additional amount of

month of the Lease Term which occurs after the expiration of any free rent
period shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord at the time of Tenant’s execution of

pursuant to this Tenant Work Letter in a total amount which exceeds the Tenant
Improvement Allowance and the Additional Allowance. All Tenant Improvements for
which the Tenant Improvement Allowance has been made available shall be deemed
Landlord’s property under the terms of the Lease. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, upon Xxxxxx’s request, at the expiration or earlier termination
of this Lease, Landlord shall negotiate with Tenant in good faith towards the

between Landlord and Tenant.
2.2 Disbursement of the Tenant Improvement Allowance. Except as otherwise

of any changes in the Base, Shell and Core when such changes are required by
the Construction Drawings; (iii) the cost of any changes to the
Construction Drawings or Tenant Improvements required by all applicable

this Section 3, shall be for its sole purpose and shall not imply Landlord’s
review of the same, or obligate Landlord to review the same, for

permits as set forth in Section 3.4, below, if the Final Working Drawings do
not comply with the Final Space Plan or contain a design problem, or (iii)
disapprove and return the Final Working Drawings to Tenant with detailed
requested revisions if the Final Working Drawings do not comply with the Final
Space Plan or contain a design problem. If Landlord disapproves the Final
Working Drawings, Tenant shall resubmit the Final Working Drawings to Landlord
within five (5) business days, and Landlord shall approve or disapprove of
the resubmitted Final Working Drawings within five (5) business days after
Xxxxxxxx receives such resubmitted Final Working Drawings.

(the “Approved Working Drawings”) prior to the commencement of the
construction of the Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall immediately submit
the Approved Working Drawings to the appropriate municipal authorities for
all applicable building permits necessary to allow “Contractor,” as that term

5.1 of this Tenant Work Letter; provided that Landlord shall give Tenant notice of
any such anticipated delays and the cost of such change to the Approved Working
Drawings; and provided further that if Tenant agrees that any resulting delay would
constitute a Tenant delay pursuant to Section 5 below and if Tenant agrees to pay
any additional costs which arise as a result of such changes, modifications or
alterations, then Landlord will not withhold its consent to such changes,
modifications or alterations, unless a design problem exists.
