COMMERCIAL LEASE
This lease, dated for reference purposes only this 30 day of November,
1995, is made between NINE-C CORPORATION (the "Landlord") and BAY AREA BANK (the
"Tenant").
1. PREMISES.
1.01 Description. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hires
from Landlord on the terms, covenants and conditions set forth herein, those
premises specifically known as Suite 530 designated and identified by
crosshatching on Exhibit "A" attached hereto, (the "Leased Premises"), and
incorporated by reference herein. The Leased Premises, approximately 1873 square
feet of usable space, and approximately 2119 square feet of rentable space (by
BOMA Modified Standards), is located at 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxx,
Xxxxxxxxxx (the "Building"). The Building is a part of a commercial project
which includes the Building, an adjacent parking lot and parking structure and
the underlying real property (the "Project").
1.02 Confirmation of Terms. Within thirty (30) days after Landlord
delivers a fully executed copy of this Lease to Tenant, Tenant's architect may,
at Tenant's expense, verify the rentable area contained in the Leased Premises.
The term "rentable area" as used in this Lease means the rentable area as
determined by the most recent version of the BOMA (Building Owners and Managers
Association International) American National Standard. If tenant's verification
of the rentable area differs from the rentable area specified in Paragraph 1.01,
then the parties shall immediately execute "Confirmation of Lease Terms" to
confirm the rentable area, the Base Rent, Tenant's Pro Rata Share and other
changes that are based on the rentable area of the Premises.
2. BASE RENT.
2.01 Tenant agrees to pay Landlord as base rent (Base Rent), without
notice, demand, deduction, or offset, the monthly sum of $3729.44 for the first
12 months, adjusted as provided in Paragraph 2.03 for all months thereafter, in
advance on or before the first day of each and every successive calendar month
during the term hereof, except that last month's deposit shall be paid upon
execution hereof. Credit will be given for Tenant's current deposit. The rent
shall commence on the First day of January, 1996 (the "Commencement Date"). All
payments to Landlord under this Lease shall be paid to Landlord at the address
for notice set forth in paragraph 32.15, or at such other address provided to
Tenant by Landlord in writing from time to time.
1
2.02 Rent for any period which is for less than one month shall be a
prorated portion of the monthly rental based upon a thirty (30) day month.
Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of rent or other
sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur certain costs not contemplated
by this Lease, the exact amount of which would be extremely difficult and
impractical to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing
and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by the
terms of any trust deed covering the Leased Premises. Therefore, in the event
Tenant shall fail to pay any installments of rent or any sum due hereunder
within five (5) days after receiving notice of such delinquency, Tenant shall
pay to Landlord as additional rent a late charge equal to TEN percent (10%) of
each such installment or other sum. A $15.00 charge will be paid by the Tenant
to the Landlord for each returned check, in addition to the late charge.
2.03 The base Rent set forth in Paragraph 2.01 shall be increased in
all years after the first year of the term if the Consumer Price Index - San
Francisco - All Items (Index) as published by the United States Department of
Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics, increases over the base period Index. The
base period Index for any year shall be the Index for the calendar month which
is the fourth month preceding the month in which any lease year commences. The
base period Index shall be compared with the Index for the same calendar month
for each subsequent year (comparison month). If the Index for any comparison
month is higher than the base period Index, then the rental for the next year
shall be increased by the identical percentage commencing with the next rental
commencement month; provided, however, that no such rental increase shall be
less than 4% or more than 8%, of the rental for the previous year. In no event
shall the rental be less than that set forth in Paragraph 2.01. (By way of
illustration only, if Tenant commenced paying rent in July 1991, then the base
period Index for the second year is that for April 1992 (assume 130) and that
Index shall be compared with the Index for April 1991 (assume 136), and because
the Index for April 1992 is 4.61% higher, the rental commencing July 1992 shall
be 4.61% higher; likewise the Index for April 1993 shall be compared with the
Index for April 1992.)
Should the Bureau revise or discontinue the publication of the above
Index. Landlord and Tenant shall convert to the revised index or adopt the
successor index in accordance with the guidelines therefor issued by the federal
government.
3. PROJECT OPERATING COSTS.

(b) If, during any Calendar year during the Term, Project Operating
Costs exceed the Project Operating Costs for the first year of the Term, Tenant

(3) Project Operating Costs shall not include costs

(d) Tenant's Proportionate Share of Project Operating
Costs shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord as follows:
(1) Beginning with the second year of the term and
for each year thereafter ("Comparison Year"), Tenant shall pay Landlord an
amount equal to Tenant's Proportionate Share of the Project Operating Costs
incurred by Landlord in the Comparison Year which exceeds the total amount of
Project Operating Costs payable by Landlord for the first year of the term. This
excess is referred to as the "Excess Expenses."
(2) To provide for current payments of Excess
Expenses, Tenant shall, at landlord's request, pay as additional rent during
each Comparison Year, an amount equal to Tenant's Proportionate Share of the
Excess Expenses payable during such Comparison Year, as estimated by Landlord
from time to time. Such payments shall be made in monthly installments,
commencing on the first day of the month following the month in which Landlord
notifies Tenant of the amount it is to pay hereunder and continuing until the
first day of the month following the month in which Landlord gives Tenant a new
notice of estimated Excess Expenses. It is the intention hereunder to estimate
from time to time the amount of the Excess Expenses for each Comparison Year and
Tenant's Proportionate Share thereof, and then to make an adjustment in the
following year based on the actual Excess Expenses incurred for that Comparison
Year.
(e) On or before the 90th day of each Comparison Year after
the first Comparison Year (or as soon thereafter as is practical), Landlord
shall deliver to Tenant a statement setting forth Tenant's Proportionate Share
of the Excess Expenses for the preceding Comparison Year. If Tenant's
Proportionate Share of the actual Excess Expenses for the previous Comparison
Year exceeds the total of the estimated monthly payments made by Tenant for such
year, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of the deficiency within ten (10)
days of the receipt of the statement. If such total exceeds Tenant's
Proportionate Share of the actual Excess Expenses for such Comparison Year, then
Landlord shall credit against Tenant's next ensuing monthly installment(s) of
additional rent an amount equal to the difference until the credit is exhausted.
If
4
a credit is due from Landlord on the Expiration Date, Landlord shall pay Tenant
the amount of the credit. The obligations of Tenant and Landlord to make
payments required under this Paragraph 3.01 shall survive the Expiration Date.
(f) Tenant's Proportionate Share of Excess Expenses in any
Comparison Year having less than 365 days shall be appropriate ly prorated.
(g) If any dispute arises as to the amount of any additional
rent due hereunder, Tenant shall have the right after reasonable notice and at
reasonable times to inspect Landlord's accounting records at Landlord's
accounting office and, if after such inspection Tenant still disputes the amount
of additional rent owed, Landlord and Tenant shall refer the dispute to an
independent certified public accountant selected by them for certification of
the proper amount. Such accountant's certification of the amount and direction
as to the allocation between Landlord and Tenant of the cost of certification
shall be final and conclusive.
3.02 Tenant's Proportionate share shall be 3.9%, the usable area of the
Leased Premises divided by the useable area of the Building, times 100, computed
as follows:
Premises Usable Area: 1,873__ = .039 x 100 =3.9%
--------
Building Usable Area: 47,692 sq. ft.
3.03 All costs and expenses which Tenant assumes or agrees to pay to
Landlord under this Lease shall be deemed additional rent (which, together with
the Base Rent, is sometimes referred to as the "Rent"). The Rent shall be paid
to the Building manager (or other person) and at such place, as Landlord may
from time to time designate in writing, without any prior demand therefor and
without deduction or offset, in lawful money of the United States of America.
3.04 In addition to the Rent and any other charges to be paid by Tenant
hereunder, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for any and all taxes
payable by Landlord (other than net income taxes) which are not otherwise
reimbursable under this Lease, whether or not now customary or within the
contemplation of the parties, where such taxes are upon, measured by or
reasonably attributable to (a) the cost or value of Tenant's equipment,
furniture, fixtures and other personal property located in the Premises, or the
cost or value of any leasehold improvements made in or to the Premises by or for
Tenant, other than standard tenant improvements made by Landlord, regardless of
whether title to such improvements is held by Tenant or Landlord; (b) the gross
or net Rent payable under this Lease, including, without limitation, any rental
or gross receipts tax levied by any taxing authority with respect to the receipt
of the Rent hereunder; (c) the possession, leasing, operation, management,
maintenance, alteration, repair,
5
use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion thereof; or (d) this
transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring
an interest or an estate in the Premises. If it becomes unlawful for Tenant to
reimburse Landlord for any costs as required under this Lease, the Base Rent
shall be revised to net Landlord the same net Rent after imposition of any tax
or other charge upon Landlord as would have been payable to Landlord but for the
reimbursement being unlawful.
3.05 Landlord agrees to operate the Project in a prudent manner with a
view to controlling costs in a manner consistent with the sound operation of the
Project.

16. DESTRUCTION OR DAMAGE.
16.01 If the Premises or the portion of the Building necessary for
Tenant's occupancy is damaged by fire, earthquake, act of God, the elements or
other casualty, Landlord shall, subject to the provisions of this Article,
promptly repair the damage, if such repairs can, in Landlord's opinion, be
completed within (90) ninety days. If Landlord determines that repairs can be
completed within ninety (90) days, this Lease shall remain in full force and
effect, except that if such damage is not the result of the negligence or
willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant's agents, employees, contractors,
licensees or invitees, the Base Rent shall be abated to the extent Tenant's use
of the Premises is impaired, commencing with the date of damage and continuing
until completion of the repairs required of Landlord under Paragraph 16.04.
16.02. If in Landlord's opinion, such repairs to the Premises or
portion of the Building necessary for Tenant's occupancy cannot be completed
within ninety (90) days, Landlord shall notify Tenant of that opinion in writing
within thirty (30) days after the date of such fire or other casualty. In such
event, Landlord and Tenant may each terminate this Lease unilaterally by giving
the other party written notice of such termination within 15 days of the
effective date of the notice described above, and this Lease shall terminate as
of the date of such fire or casualty. If neither party notifies the other of
such termination, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, but the
Base Rent shall be partially abated as provided in Paragraph 16.01.
16.03(a) If any other portion of the Building or Project is totally
destroyed or damaged to the extent that in Landlord's opinion repair thereof
cannot be completed within ninety (90) days,
10
Landlord may elect upon notice to Tenant given within thirty (30) days after the
date of such fire or other casualty, to repair such damage, in which event this
Lease shall continue in full force and effect, but the Base Rent shall be
partially abated as provided in Paragraph 16.01. If Landlord does not elect to
make such repairs, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such fire or
other casualty.
16.03(b) If any other such portion of the Building or Project is
totally destroyed or damaged to the extent that in Landlord's opinion repair
thereof cannot be completed within ninety (90) days, and Tenant's business
operations are substantially and adversely impacted by such damage, and Landlord
elects to repair such damage, then, nevertheless, Tenant shall have the right to
terminate this Lease if the substantial adverse impact is not cured by Landlord
within one hundred fifty (150) days of the date of such fire or casualty. Tenant
shall exercise this right by giving written notice to Landlord no later than one
hundred fifty-five (155) days after the date of such fire or casualty.
16.04 If the Premises are to be repaired under this Article, Landlord
shall repair at its cost any injury or damage to the Building and standard
tenant improvements in the Premises. Tenant shall be responsible at its sole
cost and expense for the repair, restoration and replacement of any other
Leasehold improvements and Tenant's Property. Landlord shall not be liable for
any loss of business, inconvenience or annoyance arising from any repair or
restoration of any portion of the Premises or Building as a result of any damage
from fire or other casualty.
16.05 This Lease shall be considered an express agreement governing any
case of damage to or destruction of the Premises or Building by fire or other
casualty, and any present or future law which purports to govern the rights of
Landlord and Tenant in such circumstances in the absence of express agreement,
shall have no application. The opinions and determinations of Landlord under
this Section 16 shall be reasonable.
17. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. Tenant shall not either voluntarily, or
by operation of law, assign, transfer, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or encumber
this Lease or any interest therein, and shall not sublet the Leased Premises or
any part thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, or allow any
other person (the employees, agents, servants and invitees or Tenant excepted)
to occupy or use the Leased Premises, or any portion thereof, without the
written consent of Landlord first had and obtained, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. A consent to one assignment, subletting, occupation or
use by any other person shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent
assignment, subletting, occupation or use by another persona. Consent to any
such assignment or subletting shall not relieve Tenant of any liability under
this Lease. Any such assignment or
11
subletting without such consent shall be void, and shall, at the option of the
Landlord, constitute a default under the terms of this Lease.
In the event that Landlord shall consent to a sublease or
assignment hereunder, Tenant shall pay Landlord reasonable fees, not to exceed
One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00), incurred in connection with the processing of
documents necessary to giving of such consent and assumption by the assignee.
18. TENANT'S DEFAULT. The occurrence of any one or more of
the following events shall constitute a default and breach of this
Lease by Tenant:
A. The vacating or abandonment of the Premises by
Tenant.
B. The failure by Tenant to make any payment or rent or
any other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder, as and
when due.
C. The failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the
covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by
the Tenant, other than described in B, above, where such failure shall continue
for a period of fifteen (15) days after written notice thereof by Landlord to
Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of Tenant's default is such that
more than fifteen (15) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant
shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant commences such cure within said
fifteen (15) days period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to
completion.
D. The making by Tenant of any general assignment or general
arrangement for the benefit of creditors; or the filing by or against Tenant of
a petition to have Tenant adjudged a bankrupt, or a petition or reorganization
or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a
petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days); or
the appointment of a trustee or a receiver to take possession of substantially
all of Tenant's assets located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this
Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or
the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of
Tenant's assets located at the Leased Premises or of Tenant's interest in this
Lease, where such seizure is not discharged in thirty (30) days.
19. REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. In the event of any such default or
breach by Tenant, Landlord may at any time thereafter, with or
without notice or demand and without limiting Landlord in the
exercise of a right or remedy which Landlord may have by reason of
such default or breach:
12
A. Terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises by
any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall
immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. In such event
Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all damages incurred by
Landlord by reason of Tenant's default including, but not limited to: the cost
of recovering possession of the Premises; expenses of reletting, including
necessary renovation and alteration of the Premises; reasonable attorney's fees;
the worth at the time of award by the court having jurisdiction thereof of the
amount by which the unpaid rent and other charges and adjustments called for
herein for the balance of the term after the time of such award exceeds the
amount of such loss for the same period that Tenant proves could be reasonably
avoided; and that portion of any leasing commission paid by Landlord and
applicable to the unexpired term of this Lease. Unpaid installments of rent or
other sums shall bear interest from the date due at the rate of ten percent
(10%) per annum. "Worth" as used in this provision, is computed by discounting

does not remain a portion reasonably suitable for Tenant's purposes hereunder,
this Lease shall thereupon terminate.

or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term,
covenant, or condition or any subsequent breach of the 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 rental so accepted, regardless of
Landlord's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such
rent.
