COMMERCIAL OFFICE LEASE
THIS LEASE, dated as of the date set forth in the Basic Lease
Information, which Basic Lease Information is attached hereto and hereby
incorporated herein by this reference, is made and entered into by and between
each of the persons or entities specified in the Basic Lease Information as
Landlord ("Landlord") and Tenant ("Tenant"), respectively.
1. PREMISES.
(a) Lease of Premises. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant,
and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, the entire Crossover Space (as defined
in Section 2(c)), the entire second through seventeenth floors, the entire
Penthouse and a portion of the parking garage located beneath the ground floor
of the Building (the "Garage"), being the premises more particularly described
in the floor plans set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto (the "Premises"),
comprised of 396,107 rentable square feet, as more particularly described in
Exhibit B attached hereto, located within the Building as specified in the Basic
Lease Information (the "Building") for the Term and subject to the terms,
covenants, agreements and conditions hereinafter set forth, to each and all of
which Landlord and Tenant hereby mutually agree. The Building is located within
the Project as specified in the Basic Lease Information (the "Project").
(b) Garage. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant for the
Term (i) the right of ingress and egress in and over that portion of the Garage
which is not included in the Premises and which portion is more particularly
described in Exhibit A hereto, (ii) the right of ingress and egress in and over
the ramp from Spear Street to the Garage, and (iii) should Tenant exercise one
of the Extension Options (as hereinafter defined), the right of ingress and
egress in and over that portion of the Garage shown on Exhibit A hereto as shall
be necessary to enable Tenant to access the portion of the Garage included in
the Premises and to use the loading area and freight elevator. Tenant shall have
the right to park vehicles in that portion of the Garage included in the
Premises (whether by valet, which shall be at Tenant's sole cost, or otherwise)
and there shall be no change in the rental for the Garage by reason of valet
parking.
2. TERM; COMPLETION OF IMPROVEMENTS.
(a) Term. The Term of this Lease (excluding only
Tenant's obligation to pay Base Rent and Additional Charges, which obligation
shall commence as provided in Section 3 below) shall commence with respect to
each respective floor of the Premises upon the date that Landlord delivers
possession of such floor to Tenant in accordance with the terms of, and in the
condition required by, Section 2(b) below (the "Commencement Date"). For
purposes of this Section 2, the Garage is deemed to be a floor unless the
context requires otherwise. The respective target delivery date (the "Target
Delivery Date") for each floor of the Premises is set forth in Column A of
Exhibit B attached hereto. Unless sooner terminated or extended as hereinafter
provided, the Term of this Lease with respect to all floors shall end on the
Term Expiration date specified in the Basic Lease Information. Landlord shall
deliver possession of each floor of the Premises to Tenant on its respective
Target Delivery Date in the condition required by Section 2(b). If Landlord
cannot deliver possession of any portion of the Premises to Tenant on the Target
Delivery Date set forth for such portion of the Premises shown in Column A of
Exhibit B due to Force Majeure (as hereinafter defined), Landlord's obligation
to deliver such floor to Tenant shall be extended one day for each day of delay
due to Force Majeure. In such event, this Lease shall not be void or voidable,
the Term of this Lease shall not be extended by such delay, and Landlord shall
not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom. For purposes
of this Lease, "Force Majeure" shall mean any delay caused by strikes, lockouts,
labor disputes, shortages of material or labor, fire or other casualty, acts of
God or any other event beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, and shall not
include any inability of Landlord to make payments when due. If Landlord fails
to deliver possession of any portion of the Premises to Tenant in the condition
required by Section 2(b) within fifteen (15) days following the Target Delivery
Date set forth for such portion of the Premises shown in Column A of Exhibit B
(such fifteen (15) day period to be extended by one day for each day of delay
caused by Tenant or Force Majeure), Tenant shall receive a credit against Base
Rent and Additional Charges in an amount equal to Base Rent and Additional
Charges for Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes allocated to such portion
of the Premises for two (2) days for each day beyond the Target Delivery Date
such floor is not delivered to Tenant in the condition required by Section 2(b).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Lease, in the event
that Landlord fails to deliver possession of a floor to Tenant within one
hundred eighty (180) days after the Target Delivery Date for such floor, as such
number of days is extended by one day for each day of delay caused by Tenant or
Force Majeure, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease with
respect to such floor only by delivering written notice to Landlord after such
one hundred eightieth (180th) day but prior to Landlord's delivery of such floor
to Tenant, in which event neither Tenant nor Landlord shall have any further
obligations or liabilities to the other with respect to such floor.
(b) Delivery of Premises. Landlord shall deliver to
Tenant possession of each floor of the Premises with Landlord's Work (as defined
in the Work Letter attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit C (the
"Work Letter")) Substantially Completed (as hereinafter defined), vacant, broom
clean, free of occupancies and ready for Tenant to begin construction of
Tenant's Initial Improvements (as defined in the Work Letter). "Substantially
Completed" or "Substantial Completion" shall, whenever used in this Lease with
respect to Landlord's Work, be deemed to mean that stage of completion of
Landlord's Work as shall enable Landlord and Tenant to agree, in good faith,
that Landlord's Work has been completed except for minor punchlist items, and
Tenant is able to have or obtain (i) all services to be provided to Tenant
pursuant to Section 5 hereof, except for chilled water and hot water for the air
conditioning and heating systems serving the Premises, which services shall be
provided on or before November 1, 1997, and (ii) access to the Premises to
commence Tenant's construction of Tenant's Initial Improvements without
interference by reason of the completion of unfinished details of Landlord's
Work (i.e., only minor punchlist items remain to be completed). "Substantial
Completion Date" shall mean the date that Landlord's Work shall be Substantially
Completed. Landlord shall give Tenant not less than seven (7) days' notice of
the Substantial Completion Date (the requirement of which notice being waived by
Tenant taking actual possession of the portion of the Premises which has been
Substantially Completed). Promptly after such notice shall have been given by
Landlord and prior to the Substantial Completion Date, Landlord's architect and
Tenant shall conduct a joint inspection of the Premises in order to jointly
determine whether Landlord's Work has been Substantially Completed and to
prepare a joint punchlist of items to be completed, which items shall be
completed promptly (but in no event beyond thirty (30) days after preparation of
the punchlist, subject to Force Majeure) by Landlord following delivery of such
punchlist to Tenant.
(c) Early Occupancy. If the floor of the Premises
described in Exhibit A as the Exit Crossover (the "Crossover Space") is ready
for occupancy prior to the Target Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined) for
such Crossover Space, Tenant shall have the right to take early occupancy of the
Crossover Space on such date (but in no event prior to January 1, 1998), and,
notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2(a) above, the Term of this Lease
with respect to the Crossover Space (excluding only the obligation to pay Base
Rent and Additional Charges) shall commence upon such occupancy and shall end on
the date specified in the Basic Lease Information as the Term Expiration.
(d) Change of Order of Delivery of Premises. With regard
to floors 10 through the Penthouse of the Building, Tenant shall have the right
to change the Target Delivery Date (with a corresponding change in the related
Target Commencement Date) for any or all of such floors, thereby changing the
order of Tenant's occupancy of such floors, provided that Landlord has
Substantially Completed, or will be able to have Substantially Completed, at no
incremental cost to Landlord and without requiring any modification to
Landlord's existing contract with its general contractor, Landlord's Work with
respect to each of such floors prior to the revised Target Delivery Date for
such floors.
(e) Commencement Date Agreement. Promptly following the
Commencement Date for each floor, Landlord will execute and deliver to Tenant a
notice in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D identifying the
Commencement Date, a copy of which notice, if accurate, shall be executed by
Tenant and promptly returned to Landlord.
(f) Damage Prior to Rent Commencement Date.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if an event of
damage or destruction covered by Section 10 occurs after the Commencement Date
with respect to a floor, but prior to the Rent Commencement Date (as hereinafter
defined) for such floor, then Base Rent and Additional Charges for Real Estate
Taxes and Operating Expenses shall not be due on the Rent Commencement Date, but
shall commence on the Rent Recommencement Date (as hereinafter defined).
(g) Permitting Delay Caused by Failure to Complete
Landlord's Work. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Lease, if Tenant is delayed in obtaining "finalled" building permits for
Tenant's Initial Improvements on any floor of the Premises previously delivered
by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to Section 2(b) on account of Landlord's failure
to complete Landlord's Work, then (i) Landlord shall promptly, using reasonable
diligence, correct such failure (or cause such failure to be corrected) at its
cost, as soon as possible in order to minimize any delay in obtaining such
"finalled" building permits and (ii) the Rent Commencement Date for such floor
of the Premises shall be delayed by one day for each day of delay in obtaining
such "finalled" building permits caused by such failure by Landlord.
3. Rental.
Tenant shall pay to Landlord throughout the Term of this Lease
the following sums as rental for the Premises, commencing with respect to each
respective floor of the Premises, upon the date (the "Rent Commencement Date")
which is the earlier of (i) Tenant's occupancy of such floor for the conduct of
its business and (ii) the later of (A) the date which is the number of days
shown in Column C of Exhibit B for such floor after the actual date of delivery
of possession of such floor to Tenant in the condition required by Section 2(b)
or (B) the Target Commencement Date for such floor shown in Column B of Exhibit
B (the "Target Commencement Date"), as the same date may be revised pursuant to
Section 2(d) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant's obligation to pay
rental for the Crossover Space shall commence upon the later of April 1, 1998 or
the actual date of delivery of possession of the Crossover Space to Tenant in
the condition required by Section 2(b).

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, but without limiting its generality, and

charged, directly or indirectly (through Operating Expenses or otherwise), for
the replacement of the boilers and cooling towers for the Building, HVAC pumps,
domestic water pumps and sprinkler pumps, electrical switch gear and bus ducts
and HVAC air handling units and related motors, unless such replacement is
necessitated as a result of the negligence or wrongful act or omission of Tenant
or any of Tenant's Agents (as defined in Section 12(a) below). None of the
foregoing, however, shall preclude Landlord from including in Operating Expenses
the cost of Landlord's HVAC service contract, which contract shall be subject to
Tenant's approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and
which may provide for air handling unit motor replacement, and that portion, if
any, of the cost of such service contract that is attributable to such motor
replacement shall be includible as Operating Expenses. If such motor replacement
is not included in the service contract, or if any motor replacement results in
one-time charges under such contract, Landlord will pay for the cost of such
replacements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the
definition of Operating Expenses, Operating Expenses shall not include, or shall
have deducted from them, as the case may be, expenses for: (1) Real Estate
Taxes; (2) legal, accounting or other professional fees incurred in connection
with negotiating, preparing or enforcing leases or lease terms, amendments of
leases, terminations of leases or extensions of leases, proceedings against any
tenant (including Tenant) relating to the collection of rent or other sums due
Landlord from such tenant or any other disputes with any tenant (including
Tenant); (3) depreciation, except as expressly set forth in clause (ix) above;
(4) except as a component of amortization as set forth in clauses (xii), (xiii)
or (xiv) above, interest, including interest on debt, debt service or
amortization payments on any mortgage encumbering the Building (or any portion
thereof) and any financing and refinancing costs with respect thereto; (5)

Lease. Real Estate Taxes shall not include franchise, inheritance, or capital

sources unless, due to a change in the method of taxation, any of such taxes is

Tax, but any such tax shall be computed as if Landlord's sole asset were the
Building and the land upon which it is situated. Real Estate Taxes shall also
include reasonable legal fees, costs, and disbursements incurred by Landlord in
connection with proceedings to contest, determine, or reduce Real Estate Taxes
to the extent Tenant would be required to pay under this Lease Additional
Charges for Real Estate Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Real Estate Taxes
shall not include, or shall have deducted therefrom, as appropriate, the
following: (i) any 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 or receipts), (ii) except as provided in Section

Building is located or an interest of Landlord in the Building or such land.
Real Estate Taxes shall also exclude any tax for which Tenant is responsible

"Reference Year" means each twelve (12) consecutive
month period commencing January 1st of each year during the Term of this Lease,
including any partial year during which the Term of the Lease commences.

"Transfer" means a sale, transfer or other event

Estate Taxes.
(b) Base Rent.
(i) Landlord and Tenant have established for calendar
year 1998 an initial annual base rent ("Base Rent") equal to Twenty-One Dollars
($21.00) per rentable square foot, which for each floor of the Premises
(excluding the Garage and Crossover Space) totals to the figure set forth in
Column E of Exhibit B, which Base Rent shall be payable in equal monthly
installments commencing on the Rent Commencement Date for each floor and ending
on December 31, 1998, which monthly installments shall be as specified with
respect to each floor of the Premises in Column F of Exhibit B, subject to the
further provisions hereof.
(ii) Base Rent as set forth in Column E of Exhibit B
for each floor (excluding the Garage and Crossover Space) shall be adjusted one
time, subject to Section 3(b)(iii) below, which adjustment shall occur following
the end of calendar year 1998 in accordance with the following provisions:
(A) With reasonable promptness following the
end of calendar year 1998, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a Landlord's
Statement (as hereinafter defined) setting forth Landlord's determination of the
actual component costs during the 1998 calendar year for each item of the
services set forth on Exhibit E (the "Standard Building Services"). Landlord
shall then determine the cost attributable to each floor of the Premises (the
"Standard Cost Per Premises Floor") for the provision of such Standard Building
Services, which determination shall include an allocation of such costs in
accordance with Section 3(c)(vi) below. Landlord shall then determine the cost
attributable per rentable square foot (the "Standard Cost Per Rentable Square
Foot") for each of the floors two through the Penthouse of the Premises for the
provision of such Standard Building Services, by dividing the Standard Cost Per
Premises Floor for each floor by the number of rentable square feet comprising
such floor as set forth in Column D of Exhibit B. Landlord's determination of
the actual component costs during 1998, the adjustments to Base Rent referred to
in clause (B) following, and in Section 3(b)(iii) shall be subject to review and
audit by Tenant in accordance with Section 3(c)(iv).
(B) The Base Rent shall be adjusted with
respect to each floor of the Premises (excluding the Garage and Crossover
Space), effective from the Rent Commencement Date for such floor through the end
of the Term of this Lease with respect to such floor, to be equal to the product
of (I) Thirty-One Dollars ($31.00) less the Standard Cost Per Rentable Square
Foot for such floor multiplied by (II) the number of rentable square feet
contained in such floor (as specified in Column D of Exhibit B). The Base Rent
as so adjusted shall be payable in equal calendar monthly installments. In the
event that, based on such adjustment of Base Rent, Tenant has underpaid Base
Rent for the period preceding such adjustment, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the
amount of such shortfall within thirty (30) days of receiving written
notification from Landlord of such adjustment of Base Rent, which notification
shall include a Landlord's Statement and reasonable documentation setting forth
the basis of such determination. In the event that, based on such adjustment of
Base Rent, Tenant has overpaid Base Rent for the period preceding the adjustment
of Base Rent, Landlord shall credit the amount of such overpayment to Base Rent
next becoming due. Until such adjustment is made by Landlord and Landlord
notifies Tenant thereof, Tenant shall continue to pay Landlord the amount of the
initial monthly Base Rent as set forth in Section 3(b)(i) above. Annexed as
Exhibit F are examples of the application of the adjustments described in this
Section 3(b)(ii) and in Section 3(b)(iii).
(iii) The Base Rent as adjusted pursuant to Section
3(b)(ii) above shall constitute the Base Rent for the balance of the Term of
this Lease, subject to further adjustment based on receipt of information
received after the adjustment date with respect to any increase in Real Estate
Taxes assessed on the basis of Landlord's Work and Tenant's Initial Improvements
(up to the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance (as defined in the Work
Letter).
(c) Additional Charges. In addition to Base Rent, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord as additional charges ("Additional Charges") the amounts
set forth in this Section 3(c). All monetary obligations of Tenant under this
Lease other than Base Rent shall constitute "Additional Charges" and, in the
event of nonpayment thereof, Landlord shall have all of the rights and remedies
provided hereunder and by law as provided for the nonpayment of rent as if such
Additional Charges constituted rent under applicable law.
(i) Landlord and Tenant agree that, commencing on the
Rent Commencement Date with respect to each respective floor of the Premises
(excluding the Garage and the Crossover Space), and continuing through December
31, 1998, Tenant shall pay as Additional Charges an estimated amount of Tenant's
Pro Rata Share of Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses for Reference Year
1998 which amount shall be deemed to be Ten Dollars ($10.00) per rentable square
foot for floors two through the Penthouse of the Building, to be paid monthly,
in advance, on or before the first day of each month during such Reference Year.
Upon adjustment of the Base Rent pursuant to Sections 3(b)(ii) and 3(b)(iii),
Landlord shall determine Tenant's actual Pro Rata Share of Real Estate Taxes and
Operating Expenses for Reference Year 1998. In the event that, based on such
determination, Tenant has underpaid Additional Charges for the period preceding
such adjustment, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of such shortfall
within thirty (30) days of receiving written notification from Landlord of such
determination, which notification shall include a Landlord's Statement and
reasonable documentation setting forth the basis of such determination. In the
event that, based on such determination, Tenant has overpaid Additional Charges
for the period preceding such determination, Landlord shall credit the amount of
such overpayment to Additional Charges next becoming due. Each of Landlord and
Tenant hereby agrees that it shall not take any action to reduce or increase
Operating Expenses in 1998 which would artificially or unfairly increase or
reduce the Base Rent adjustment, respectively.
(ii) Commencing January 1, 1999, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord as Additional Charges one twelfth (1/12) of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of
the Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses for each Reference Year or portion
thereof during the Term, determined in accordance with Section 3(c)(vi) below,
in advance, on or before the first day of each month during such Reference Year,
in an amount, in the case of Operating Expenses, reasonably estimated by
Landlord in a writing delivered to Tenant explaining in reasonable detail the
basis of such Additional Charges, provided that such estimate of Operating
Expenses for any Reference Year shall not be in an amount in excess of five
percent (5%) higher than the amount of Operating Expenses actually incurred
during the immediately preceding Reference Year unless Tenant approves such
estimate, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed. Landlord may revise such estimates from time to time subject to the
five percent (5%) limitation in the immediately preceding sentence with respect
to each such revision (but in no event shall Landlord increase the estimate more
than twice during any Reference Year) and Tenant will thereafter make payments
on the basis of such revised estimates. Landlord agrees that the intent of this
Section 3(c)(ii) is solely to enable Landlord to pay over the course of the
Reference Year Operating Expenses incurred by Landlord and not to permit
Landlord to make an unreasonably high estimate so as to use Tenant's monies
beyond what is necessary to pay Operating Expenses over the course of the
Reference Year.
With reasonable promptness after the expiration of each Reference Year,
including the Reference Year during which this Lease expires, Landlord will
furnish Tenant with a statement audited by an independent certified public
accountant (herein called "Landlord's Statement") setting forth in reasonable
detail the amount of Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses for the Building
for such Reference Year and Tenant's Pro Rata Share thereof, which statement
shall be broken down into at least the categories described on Exhibit G
attached hereto. Each Landlord's Statement shall be prepared by Landlord to
reflect the terms of Section 3 of this Lease.
If Landlord fails to render a Landlord's Statement with respect to a
Reference Year within nine (9) months after the end of such Reference Year,
Landlord shall have no right thereafter to deliver to Tenant any Landlord's
Statement for such Reference Year or to otherwise charge Tenant for amounts
which would have otherwise appeared on such Landlord's Statement. Additionally,
Landlord shall not have the right to include in Operating Expenses for a
Reference Year any cost or expense the xxxx for which is received by Landlord
earlier than the Reference Year immediately preceding such Reference Year.
In the event that in any Reference Year the Building is less than
ninety-five percent (95%) occupied, Operating Expenses which are of a variable
nature shall be appropriately and reasonably adjusted to reflect a ninety-five
percent (95%) occupancy level for the Building throughout such Reference Year
and, in such event, Landlord shall set forth the basis for its calculations and
estimations of such Operating Expenses in reasonable detail. In connection with
conducting an audit pursuant to Section 3(c)(iv), Tenant may contest such
calculations and estimations applicable to the Reference Year with respect to
which such audit is being conducted. Landlord shall not recover through
Operating Expenses any item of cost or expense more than once.
If Landlord shall use personnel who provide services in one or more
buildings in addition to the Building, then for purposes of including the costs
of such personnel in Operating Expenses, Landlord shall allocate the costs of
such personnel based on the time devoted by such personnel to the Building and
to other buildings based on records to be maintained by Landlord for such
purpose.
(iii) If Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the actual Real
Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses for a Reference Year exceeds the estimated
Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses paid by Tenant for such Reference Year,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord (whether or not this Lease has terminated, but
subject to the limitation contained in Section 3(c)(ii)) the difference between
the amount paid by Tenant and Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the actual Real Estate
Taxes and Operating Expenses within thirty (30) days after the receipt of
Landlord's Statement; and if the total amount of estimated Real Estate Taxes and
Operating Expenses paid by Tenant for such Reference Year exceeds Tenant's Pro
Rata Share of the actual Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses for such
Reference Year, such excess shall be credited against the next installment of
Base Rent and Additional Charges due from Tenant hereunder, or, if this Lease
has terminated and no amounts are due or to become due to Landlord from Tenant
hereunder, any excess shall be paid to Tenant by check within thirty (30) days
after such final determination of the actual Real Estate Taxes and Operating
Expenses.
(iv) Within eleven (11) months after receipt of each
Landlord's Statement, including the Landlord's Statement issued pursuant to
Section 3(b)(ii) and Section 3(b)(iii) setting forth the Base Rent adjustment,
Tenant shall have the right to notify Landlord that Tenant wishes to have
Landlord's accounts and records relating to the calculation of Additional
Charges for Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes audited. If Tenant so
notifies Landlord, Tenant shall have the right, at its sole expense (unless
otherwise provided below), to have Landlord's accounts and records relating to
the calculation of Additional Charges audited by any designated representative
at reasonable hours during the business day at Landlord's offices in San
Francisco, California. If Tenant fails so to notify Landlord within such eleven
(11) month period, Landlord's Statement shall be conclusive and binding upon
Tenant except as provided in the final two sentences of this Section 3(c)(iv).
Landlord agrees to provide to Tenant reasonable, unfettered and relatively
continuous access to such books and records to enable Tenant to conduct such
audit. Tenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, and in its
reasonable discretion, to make copies of portions of such books and records,
provided that in no event shall Tenant have the right to remove such books and
records from Landlord's offices. Any exercise by Tenant of its audit rights
pursuant to this Section 3(c)(iv) is subject to Tenant's delivery to Landlord of
a confidentiality agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
H. Under no circumstances shall Tenant engage any person to conduct such audit
whose compensation is determined, in whole or in part, on any contingency basis.
If such audit reflects that Tenant has overpaid either Operating Expenses for
such Reference Year or Real Estate Taxes for such Reference Year by more than
four percent (4%) calculated separately, and Landlord concurs with such
determination (or in the absence of such concurrence, such overpayment is
established by arbitration conducted pursuant to Section 3(c)(viii) below), then
Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable cost of such audit within
thirty (30) days after written demand therefor (together with reasonably
detailed supporting documentation). In the event that it is determined that
there has been an underpayment of Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes by
Tenant for such Reference Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30)
days after such determination is made, the amount of such underpayment, and, in
the event that it is determined that there has been an overpayment of Operating
Expenses and Real Estate Taxes by Tenant for such Reference Year, Landlord shall
credit the excess to the next succeeding installment(s) of Base Rent and
Additional Charges due under this Lease or, if this Lease has expired or been
terminated and no amounts are due or to become due to Landlord from Tenant
hereunder, any overpayment shall be paid to Tenant by check within thirty (30)
days after such determination is made. In the event that Tenant exercises such
right to conduct such an audit and Tenant's audit results in a variance from
Landlord's Statement, Landlord and Tenant will endeavor in good faith to reach a
mutually agreeable resolution regarding such variance between Landlord and
Tenant's respective audits. If the parties are unable to reach such a mutually
agreeable resolution within thirty (30) days after arising, the parties shall
resolve such dispute pursuant to Section 3(c)(viii) below, to the extent
applicable; provided that, prior to any proceeding by Tenant under the
arbitration provisions of Section 3(c)(viii), if Tenant has not previously done
so, Tenant shall be required to retain the services of an independent certified
public accountant for the purposes of reevaluating Tenant's prior audit. Under
no circumstances shall Tenant engage any accountant whose compensation is
determined, in whole or in part, on any contingency basis. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if in the course of an audit, Tenant determines that any cost was
improperly included as Operating Expenses (as opposed to a mathematical error)
and Landlord concurs with such determination (or in the absence of such
concurrence, such improper inclusion is established by arbitration conducted
pursuant to Section 3(c)(viii) below), then Tenant may audit the two Reference
Years preceding the Reference Year in question solely in order to determine if
such improper inclusion occurred in either of such two preceding Reference Years
(unless Tenant has previously audited such years). If such improper inclusion
incurred in either of such two preceding Reference Years, then Landlord shall
promptly refund to Tenant the amount of overpayment of Operating Expenses
resulting from such inclusion.
(v) Notwithstanding any provision in this Lease to
the contrary, in the event that either (x) a Transfer occurs during the first
ten (10) years of the Term of this Lease, and such Transfer does not constitute
a Booth Family Transfer or (y) a Transfer occurs during the first five (5) years
of the Term of this Lease, and such Transfer does constitute a Booth Family
Transfer, Tenant shall be liable for Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the increase in
Real Estate Taxes attributable to such Transfer (determined in accordance with
Section 3(c)(vi) below) in accordance with the following schedule:
(A) For the first twelve (12) months after
such Transfer, Tenant shall have no obligation for payment of any portion of the
Transfer Increase (as hereinafter defined).
(B) For months thirteen (13) through
twenty-four (24), after such Transfer, Tenant shall pay 33-1/3% of Tenant's Pro
Rata Share of the Transfer Increase.
(C) For months twenty-five (25) through
thirty-six (36), after such Transfer, Tenant shall pay 66-2/3% of Tenant's Pro
Rata Share of the Transfer Increase.
(D) For the period following thirty-six (36)
months after such Transfer and continuing until the expiration of the Term,
Tenant shall pay the entire amount of Tenant's share of the Transfer Increase.
In the event of any other Transfer, Tenant shall pay Tenant's Pro Rata Share of
the Transfer Increase in accordance with the terms of this Section 3(c). In the
event of any Transfer, Landlord shall provide to Tenant reasonably detailed
information showing the calculation by the tax assessor of the increase in Real
Estate Taxes attributable to such Transfer ("Transfer Increase"), including the
supplemental assessment pursuant to which such assessor determined such
increase, and, in the case of a Booth Family Transfer, evidence that the
Transfer constituted a Booth Family Transfer.
(vi) Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that all Real
Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses relating to Landlord's operation of the
Building shall be allocated to and payable by Tenant as follows:
(A) Except as otherwise provided in clauses
(C) and (D) below, any and all Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses incurred
for insurance and security provided by Landlord for the Building shall be
allocated pro rata to floors two through the Penthouse of the Building, the
Retail Space and the mezzanine area of the Building as more particularly set
forth in Column G of Exhibit B;
(B) Any and all Operating Expenses other
than those referred to in clause (A) above shall be allocated pro rata to floors
two through the Penthouse of the Building as more particularly set forth in
Column H of Exhibit B;
(C) Any Real Estate Taxes attributable to
the cost of Tenant's Initial Improvements in excess of the amount of the Tenant
Improvement Allowance; and
(D) Any and all Real Estate Taxes
attributable to the construction of any Alterations (as defined in Section 7
below).
Tenant's obligations on account of Real Estate Taxes and Operating
Expenses as set forth in this Section 3(c)(vi) shall be deemed to constitute
"Tenant's Pro Rata Share" thereof for all purposes of this Lease. Nothing in
this Section 3(c)(vi) shall be construed to require Tenant to pay more than one
hundred percent (100%) of taxes otherwise payable by Tenant pursuant to Section
6.
(vii) If the Rent Commencement Date or Term
Expiration date of this Lease shall occur on a date other than the first or last
day, respectively, of a Reference Year, Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Real Estate
Taxes and Operating Expenses for such Reference Year shall be prorated based on
a 365-day year, but subject to the limitation contained in Section 3(c)(ii),
shall remain subject to adjustment based on receipt of information after the
Term Expiration date.
(viii) Any dispute regarding either the cost of
Operating Expenses or any increases in Real Estate Taxes, up to the amount of
Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000), shall be settled by
arbitration conducted and determined in the City and County of San Francisco, in
accordance with this Section 3(c)(viii) and the applicable rules of the American
Arbitration Association. Any disputes regarding either the cost of Operating
Expenses or any increases in Real Estate Taxes exceeding such limit shall not be
subject to arbitration. In the event that Landlord delivers written notice to
Tenant demanding arbitration in accordance with the provisions of this Section
3, Landlord shall, together with such notice, provide to Tenant the name of one
of the "Big Six" accounting firms identified in Section 38(d) below or a
successor thereof to act as the arbitrator hereunder, which firm shall be
subject to Tenant's reasonable approval. In the event that Tenant delivers
written notice of arbitration to Landlord, Landlord shall, within fifteen (15)
business days after its receipt of Tenant's notice, provide to Tenant the name
of one of the aforementioned "Big Six" accounting firms or a successor thereof
to act as the arbitrator hereunder, which firm shall be subject to Tenant's
reasonable approval. The parties shall have a right to submit to the arbitrator
such information as they deem relevant, and the arbitrator shall be instructed
to make a determination within forty-five (45) days after the date of his or her
selection. The determination of the arbitrator shall be conclusive, final and
binding on the parties hereto, and the judgment or award rendered in any such
arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
(ix) Tenant shall have the right, at its sole cost
and expense, to institute tax reduction proceedings to contest Real Estate Taxes
at any time and from time to time assessed during the Term, whether or not such
contest occurs during or after the Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all
decisions by either Tenant or Landlord to institute or to settle tax reduction
proceedings contesting Real Estate Taxes assessed during the Term shall be
subject to the approval of the other party hereto, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and such other party shall
cooperate reasonably with the contesting party in prosecuting such contest,
executing such documents and instruments as may be reasonably necessary or
appropriate for such contesting party to pursue such contest, including delivery
by Landlord to Tenant of an income and expense statement for the Building and
making available to Tenant any material and information in Landlord's possession
or control relating to the cost of the Building, Landlord's Work and any other
improvements to the Building and any other facts that Tenant may reasonably
require. If Tenant determines to contest any such Real Estate Taxes and receives
Landlord's approval, Tenant may prosecute such contest in Tenant's name, or in
Landlord's name if required by applicable law. Landlord's cooperation hereunder
shall, however, be without cost or expense to Landlord, and Tenant shall bear
all costs and expense of any contest initiated and conducted by Tenant
hereunder, including, without limitation, any and all penalties and fees
incurred as a result thereof. If Real Estate Taxes shall be reduced by reason of
appropriate administrative or legal proceedings or otherwise instituted by
Tenant after payment of all or part of Real Estate Taxes for the applicable
Reference Year, all reasonable costs, expenses and fees (including reasonable
experts' and attorneys' fees) incurred by Tenant in obtaining said reduction of
Real Estate Taxes, shall first be deducted from the amount of any refund and
paid to Tenant to reimburse it for such costs, expenses and fees and then Tenant
shall receive Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the balance of such refund. If Real
Estate Taxes (or the assessed valuation of the Land and/or Building) shall be
reduced as a result of appropriate administrative or legal proceedings or
otherwise instituted by Tenant prior to the payment of Real Estate Taxes for the
applicable Reference Year, Landlord shall pay to Tenant all reasonable costs,
expenses and fees (including reasonable experts' and attorneys' fees) incurred
by Tenant in obtaining said Real Estate Tax (or assessment) reduction, less
Tenant's Pro Rata Share of such costs, expenses and fees.
(x) In the event of the imposition by any taxing
authority of any interest or penalties as a result of the nonpayment by Landlord
of any amount of Real Estate Taxes payable by Landlord with respect to the
Building or the land upon which it is situated, including any such interest or
penalties incurred as a result of any Transfer, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the
amount of such interest and penalties within ten (10) business days of receiving
a written demand from Landlord therefor, if such interest and penalties are
incurred as a result of Tenant's failure to make any payment when due to
Landlord of Real Estate Taxes required to be paid by Tenant hereunder, provided
that Landlord shall have billed Tenant for such amount of Real Estate Taxes due
from Tenant. Except as provided in the immediately foregoing sentence, Tenant
shall not be responsible to pay any interest or penalties assessed as a result
of the nonpayment by Landlord of any amount of Real Estate Taxes payable with
respect to the Building or the land upon which it is situated.
(d) Rental Commencement. Base Rent and Additional Charges
shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord with respect to each calendar month of the
Term for which rent is payable, on or before the first day of each such calendar
month. If the obligation to pay Base Rent or Additional Charges commences on
other than the first day of a calendar month or ends on other than the last day
of a calendar month, the first and last installments of Base Rent or Additional
Charges shall be pro-rated for the partial months involved based on the actual
number of days in such month.
(e) No Deduction or Offset; Interest. All Base Rent and
Additional Charges shall be paid to Landlord, without abatement (except as
otherwise provided in this Lease), deduction or offset, in lawful money of the
United States at Landlord's address for notices or to such other person or at
such other place as Landlord, from time to time, may designate in writing.
Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Base Rent or
Additional Charges will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this
Lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and
impracticable to fix. Such costs include, without limitation, processing and
accounting charges, and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the
terms of any encumbrance and note secured by any encumbrance covering the
Building and/or the Premises. Therefore, if any installment of Base Rent or
Additional Charges due and payable by Tenant to Landlord is not paid to Landlord
within five (5) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant of the failure
of Tenant to pay such sum when due (or, if Landlord has notified Tenant in
writing on three occasions during the twelve (12) months preceding the due date
that Tenant has failed to pay Base Rent or Additional Charges on the due date
thereof, then, if Tenant fails to pay Base Rent or Additional Charges on the due
date thereof), Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional sum of two percent
(2%) of the overdue amount as a late charge. The parties agree that this late
charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will
incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. In addition, if any installment of
Base Rent or Additional Charges due and payable by Tenant to Landlord is not
paid to and received by Landlord within thirty (30) days after the due date
thereof, then such sums due and payable shall bear interest from the date due
until paid at the highest rate legally permitted by applicable law.
Acceptance of any late charge or interest shall not constitute a waiver
of Tenant's default on the overdue amount, or prevent Landlord from exercising
any of the other rights and remedies available to Landlord.
(f) Calculation Requirements. Landlord agrees that since one
of the purposes of Operating Expenses and the gross up provision set forth in
Section 3(c)(ii) is to allow Landlord to require Tenant to pay for the costs
attributable to its Premises, (i) Landlord will not collect or be entitled to
collect from Tenant with respect to Operating Expenses, an amount greater than
Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the Operating Expenses actually paid by Landlord in
connection with the operation of the Building, grossed up to 95% occupancy in
accordance with Section 3(c)(ii), (ii) Landlord shall make no profit from
Landlord's collections of Operating Expenses (exclusive of the management fee),
(iii) all assessments and premiums which are not specifically charged to Tenant
because of what Tenant has done, which can be paid by Landlord in installments,
shall be paid by Landlord in the maximum number of installments permitted by law
and not included as Operating Expenses except in the Reference Year in which the
assessment or premium installment is actually paid and (iv) Landlord shall
reduce the amount of Operating Expenses by any refund or discount Landlord
receives in connection with any costs or expenditures previously included in
Operating Expenses.
4. Use.

Tenant's Affiliates (as hereinafter defined) and the employees of Tenant's
Business Partners (as hereinafter defined) who are permitted occupants of the
Premises. Tenant shall neither do nor permit to be done in or about the
Premises, the Building, or the Project, nor bring or permit to be brought or
kept therein, anything which is prohibited by or will in any way conflict with
any law, statute, ordinance or governmental rule or regulation now in force or
which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated, or which now or hereafter is
prohibited by any insurance policy carried by Landlord or will cause a
cancellation of any insurance policy covering any part of the Building or the
Project. Tenant, in its own respect and in respect of Tenant's Agents, shall
neither do nor permit anything to be done in or about the Premises, the Building
or the Project which in any way will obstruct or unreasonably interfere with the
rights of any other tenants of the Project (including any noise audible or any
odor or vibrations observable from outside the Premises), or injure or annoy
them, or use or allow the Premises, the Building or the Project to be used for
any unlawful purpose, nor shall Tenant cause, maintain or permit any nuisance
in, on or about any of the same, or commit or suffer to be committed any waste
or damage in or about any of the same. Tenant shall not permit any materials to

not permit debris to be placed therein, except in appropriate receptacles
provided therefor. Tenant and Tenant's Agents shall have the right on a 24 hour

with the reasonable security procedures for the Building, to the (a)
non-exclusive use of the outside common areas of the Project, (b) the exclusive
use of the entrance lobby of the Building (provided that such use shall be
non-exclusive during any period for which Tenant leases a portion, but not all,
of the Premises), (c) the exclusive use of the Building passenger and freight
elevators (provided that such use shall be non-exclusive during any period for
which Tenant leases a portion, but not all, of the Premises), and (d) the
exclusive use of the Premises. Tenant shall not use any portion of the Building
(including, without limitation, the Building roof or portions of the Building
leased to other tenants) other than the Premises, excepting only as set forth in
this Section 4, in Section 41, and such other portions of the Building and
outside common areas of the Project as are necessary for fire and other
emergency ingress and egress purposes in accordance with applicable law. Tenant
shall not place any equipment in or otherwise utilize the Premises in a manner
that would exceed one hundred (100) pounds per square foot (including live and
dead loads), the floor load for which each floor was designed to carry, provided
that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold,
condition or delay its consent to Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense,
reinforcing the floor of any portion of the Premises pursuant to plans and
specifications reasonably approved by Landlord, and otherwise in compliance with
Section 7. Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, shall have the right to
prescribe the weight, size and position of all safes and other heavy property
brought into the Building, and also the manner of moving the same in and out of
the Building. Landlord will not be responsible for loss of or damage to any such
safe or property from any cause, and all damage done to the Building by moving
or maintaining any such safe or property shall be repaired at the expense of
Tenant.

throughout the Premises.
(c) Non-Liability. Except as otherwise provided in Section
5(f) and Section 12 below, Landlord shall not be in default hereunder or be
liable for any damage directly or indirectly resulting from, nor shall Base Rent
or Additional Charges herein reserved be abated by reason of, (i) interruption,
failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any services as provided in this

misconduct, or (ii) the mandatory limitation, curtailment, rationing or
restrictions imposed by law on use of or the failure of the supply by the
relevant utility to Tenant of, water, electricity, gas, or any other form of
utility services serving the Premises or the Building. Except as otherwise
provided in Section 5(f) below, Tenant expressly acknowledges that all utility
services are provided by the relevant utility involved, and Landlord is to have
no responsibility for the amount or quality of utility services provided by the
utility to the Building, including without limitation, the improper operation of
Tenant's equipment utilizing the same, but Landlord shall be responsible as
hereinafter set forth in this Section 5(c) if its wires, pipes or other
facilities and equipment distributing such service throughout the Building shall
fail to meet the specifications therefor or where there is no specification,
shall fail to function as such system normally functions in comparable office
buildings in the area. Landlord shall promptly remedy any failure or
interruption in the furnishing of such service, except that if Tenant's use of,
or access to, the Premises, or a portion thereof, is impaired due to any such
failure or interruption, Landlord shall employ such measures (including the use
of premium time) in order to cure such failure or interruption at the earliest
feasible time, and the cost of such measures shall be included in Operating
Expenses to the extent permitted by Section 3(c).
(d) Excess Electricity and Water. Tenant shall not use any
apparatus or device in the Premises which alone or collectively uses,
electricity and/or water in excess of the current capacity of the systems
serving the Premises. If Tenant shall require electric current in excess of the
capacity of the systems serving the Premises, Tenant shall first obtain
Landlord's consent to the installation of such increased capacity in accordance
with Section 7(j). If Tenant shall require water in excess of the capacity of
the systems serving the Premises, Tenant shall first obtain Landlord's consent,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(e) Right to Install Generator. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall have the right to install in the
portion of the Premises located in the Garage, at its sole cost and expense, a
generator to support Tenant's electrical requirements for the Premises and
Tenant's UPS System. Tenant shall have the right, subject to Landlord's prior
written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), to
run wires between the generator and the Premises in appropriate locations and
through conduits in the Building. Tenant hereby indemnifies, defends and holds
Landlord harmless from any and all costs, damages, liabilities and losses
hereof) incurred by Landlord in connection with such generator, including,
without limitation, in connection with the use, maintenance, installation and
removal thereof (except to the extent any such costs, damages, liabilities or
losses are caused by Landlord, its agents, contractors or employees).
(f) Abatement. If Tenant, as a result of any default by
Landlord in performing any of its obligations under this Section 5, is not
reasonably capable of conducting its business in the Premises or a portion
thereof for a period of more than two (2) consecutive business days (subject to
extension on a day-by-day basis as a result of Force Majeure) and in fact fails
to occupy the Premises or such portion for more than two (2) consecutive
business days (subject to extension on a day-by-day basis as a result of Force
Majeure), Tenant shall, commencing on the third (3rd) consecutive business day
(or the next business day following such extension period, if later), be
entitled to an abatement of Base Rent and Additional Charges for Real Estate
Taxes and Operating Expenses, which abatement shall be based on the portion of
the Premises to which Landlord fails to provide services required under this
Section 5 (which portion shall not include any other portion of the Premises
indirectly affected by any of such failure), and which portion Tenant is unable
to use for Tenant's business purposes, and which abatement shall continue until
the earlier of the date on which Tenant is reasonably capable of conducting its
business in the Premises (or such portion thereof) or the date on which Tenant
actually conducts business in the Premises or such portion thereof.
(g) Tenant's Right to Cure. If Landlord shall default in the
performance of any of its obligations under this Section 5, which default
affects Tenant's ability to use and enjoy the Premises in the manner
contemplated by this Lease in any material respect, and in the event that
Landlord fails to cure such default within ten (10) days after Landlord's
receipt of written notice from Tenant describing in reasonable detail the nature
of such default (or such longer period of time as may reasonably be required to
cure such default in the event that Landlord commences to cure such default
within such ten (10) day period and diligently pursues the cure of such default
thereafter to completion), then, upon the giving of an additional three (3)
business days' prior written notice of its election to do so (which notice shall
state in capital letters at the top of such notice: "IN THE EVENT THAT LANDLORD
FAILS TO CURE THE BELOW DESCRIBED DEFAULT WITHIN THREE (3) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER
LANDLORD RECEIVES THIS NOTICE, TENANT INTENDS TO CURE SUCH DEFAULT AT LANDLORD'S
EXPENSE"), and if Landlord fails to cure such default within such three (3)
business day period (or such longer period of time as reasonably may be required
to cure such default in the event Landlord commences to cure such default within
such three (3) business day period and diligently pursues the cure of such
default thereafter to completion), Tenant may at any time thereafter and prior
to Landlord's cure thereof remedy such default for Landlord's account and at
Landlord's expense without thereby waiving such default or any rights or
remedies of Tenant on account of such default. Landlord shall pay to Tenant
within thirty (30) days after demand all reasonable sums expended by Tenant, or
other costs, damages, expenses or liabilities reasonably incurred by Tenant,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, in
remedying or attempting to remedy such default, and interest on all such sums at
the Effective Rate, which obligation shall survive the termination of this
Lease.
(h) Alternative Suppliers of Utility Services. At Tenant's
sole cost and expense, Tenant shall have the right to pursue and apply for lower
cost alternatives to any utilities furnished to the Premises. Upon Tenant's
written request to obtain an alternative supplier, Landlord shall, if such
supplier is approved by Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed, enter into an arrangement with such alternative supplier
to obtain such alternative utility through Landlord's facilities and equipment,
and all payments in connection therewith shall be billed by such supplier to
Landlord and be charged to Tenant by Landlord as Operating Expenses at the same
rate as charged to Landlord by such alternative supplier.
(i) Replacement of Third Party Service Providers. In the event
that Tenant shall be dissatisfied with any independent vendor supplying any
service to the Premises on behalf of Landlord, Tenant shall have the right to
provide Landlord with a written notice specifying the nature of Tenant's
dissatisfaction with such vendor, which notice shall provide Landlord with
forty-five (45) days to cause such vendor to remedy the condition specified in
such notice causing Tenant's dissatisfaction. In the event that such vendor
fails to remedy such condition within such forty-five (45) day period, Tenant
shall have the right to deliver to Landlord a second written notice, which
notice shall identify such vendor and the condition giving rise to Tenant's
dissatisfaction and shall state in capital letters at the top of such notice:
"LANDLORD'S AGREEMENT TO REPLACE THE UTILITY SUPPLIER SPECIFIED BELOW SHALL BE
DEEMED TO BE GIVEN IF SUCH SUPPLIER FAILS TO REMEDY THE CONDITION STATED IN THIS
NOTICE WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER LANDLORD RECEIVES THIS NOTICE." If vendor
shall fail to remedy such condition within such additional thirty (30) day
period, Landlord shall replace such vendor with an alternative vendor selected
by Tenant and subject to Landlord's approval, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed.
6. Taxes Payable By Tenant.
(a) In addition to the Base Rent and Additional Charges
payable by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord within thirty (30)
days after demand for any and all taxes payable by Landlord whether or not now
customary or within the contemplation of the parties hereto which are upon,
measured by, or reasonably attributable to the cost or value of Tenant's
equipment, furniture, fixtures, and other personal property located in the
Premises, which taxes are now or hereafter levied or assessed against Landlord
by the United States of America, the State of California, or any political
subdivision thereof, public corporation, district, or any other political or
public entity, and shall also include any other tax, fee or other excise,
however described, that may be levied or assessed as a substitute for, or as an
addition to, in whole or in part, any such taxes, whether or not now customary
or in the contemplation of the parties on the date of this Lease (collectively,
the "Personal Property Taxes").
(b) Tenant shall have the right, upon the terms and conditions
of this Section 6, to contest any Personal Property Taxes payable by Tenant
under this Lease. If Tenant determines to contest any such Personal Property
Taxes, Tenant shall so notify Landlord and either make payment of such Personal
Property Taxes under protest directly to the levying authority prior to the due
date therefor, and in all events in a manner that will prevent foreclosure of
any tax lien on any portion of the Project, or, if such Personal Property Taxes
are included in the tax xxxx to Landlord and paid by Tenant to Landlord pursuant
to this Section 6, require that Landlord make payment of such Personal Property
Taxes under protest. Tenant may prosecute such contest in Tenant's name, or in
Landlord's name if required by applicable law, and Landlord shall cooperate
reasonably with Tenant in prosecuting such contest, executing, furnishing and
making available to Tenant such documents, instruments and information as may be
reasonably necessary or appropriate for Tenant to pursue such contest.
Landlord's cooperation hereunder shall, however, be without cost or expense to
Landlord and Tenant shall bear all costs and expense of any contest initiated
and conducted by Tenant hereunder, including, without limitation, any and all
penalties and fees incurred as a result thereof.
7. Alterations, Additions Or Improvements.
(a) General. Except for Landlord's Work and Tenant's Initial
Improvements, which shall be governed by the provisions of the Work Letter, and
Decorative Work (as hereinafter defined), Tenant shall not make or suffer to be
made any alterations, additions, or improvements to or of the Premises or any
part thereof, or attach any fixtures or equipment thereto (collectively,
"Alterations"), without Landlord's prior written consent, which may be withheld
in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding any of the
foregoing, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its
consent to Alterations in the Premises, which (i) are not of a structural
nature, (ii) except as otherwise provided in Section 5(d), do not adversely
affect the base building mechanical, electrical, sanitary, heating, air
conditioning, ventilating, elevator, plumbing, life-safety or any other service
systems of the Building (collectively, the "Building Systems") and (iii) except
as otherwise provided in Section 40 and Section 41, do not change the Building
exterior. In addition, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or
delay its consent to Alterations in the Premises which (A) entail the
construction of any internal stairway, core drilling (not to exceed three inches
in diameter) or horizontal beam penetrations in the Premises or (B) increase the
live load or electrical capacity of any floor of the Premises in accordance with
Section 7(j). Landlord shall approve or refuse to approve (and in the case of
refusal, Landlord shall specify Landlord's reason therefor) any Alterations
proposed to be undertaken by Tenant hereunder and requiring Landlord's approval
within fifteen (15) business days with respect to Alterations that affect
Building Systems or are structural in nature and within ten (10) business days
for all other Alterations, in each case after Tenant's delivery of plans and
specifications therefor, and any other information concerning the proposed
Alterations reasonably required by Landlord, together with a written notice
requesting approval thereof.
(b) Permitted Alterations and Decorative Work. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary provided herein, Tenant shall have the right, upon at
least five (5) days prior written notice to Landlord, but without the necessity
of obtaining Landlord's consent, to make Alterations in the Premises consisting
of any of the following (collectively, the "Permitted Alterations"): the
installation, alteration or removal, as the case may be, of electrical outlets,
partitions, doors, HVAC zones, light fixtures, hung ceilings, wall plugs,
sprinklers and data and communications wiring and cabling, provided that each
such Alteration (i) does not adversely affect the Building Systems and (ii) does
not cost in excess of $75,000; provided further that the cost of data and
communications wiring and cabling shall not be included in the calculation of
the cost of each such Alteration. Further, Tenant may make decorative or
cosmetic improvements or Alterations ("Decorative Work") in the Premises (such
as hanging pictures, touch up painting, carpeting, wall covering, rearrangement
of movable work stations, modular units or similar items) without first
obtaining Landlord's consent and without giving Landlord notice and without
obligation to provide "as-built" plans and specifications.
(c) Removal. All such Alterations shall become Landlord's
property immediately and, at the end of the Term hereof, shall remain on the
Premises without compensation to Tenant, unless Landlord elects by notice to
Tenant to have Tenant remove the same, in which event Tenant shall promptly
remove such Alterations, repair any damage to the Premises, and restore the area
of the Premises affected by such removal to its condition immediately prior to
the installation of such Alterations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord
shall not require Tenant to restore or remove any Alterations for which Tenant
is required to obtain Landlord's approval and which Landlord has previously
approved unless Landlord notifies Tenant at the time of granting Landlord's
approval for such Alterations that Landlord shall require such restoration or
removal upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease because the
Alterations (i) are materially inconsistent with typical office use or (ii)
affect the structure of the Building.
(d) Tenant's Property. All furniture, furnishings, trade
fixtures, equipment and articles of movable personal property installed in the
Premises by or for the account of Tenant and which can be removed without
structural or other material damage to the Building (all of which are herein
called "Tenant's Property") shall be and remain the property of Tenant and may
be removed by it at any time during the Term. Upon the Term Expiration date or
the termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove from the Premises all of
Tenant's Property.
(e) Regulatory Requirements. Tenant at its expense shall
obtain any and all permits and consents of applicable governmental authorities
in respect of such Alterations and shall comply with the requirements of all
governmental authorities in connection therewith, including all building codes.
In addition, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord and shall reimburse Landlord for
the reasonable costs of any improvements to the Building (whether or not within
the Premises) which may be required by governmental authority as a consequence
of Tenant's Alterations, which reimbursement shall not constitute Operating
Expenses and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after
Landlord's delivery to Tenant of a written invoice therefor with supporting
documentation therefor.
(f) Construction of Alterations. All Alterations made by
Tenant with the prior written consent of Landlord shall be effected through the
use of contractors approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided that such contractors
shall maintain a commercial general liability policy of insurance of not less
than $1,000,000 with a carrier having a rating of A minus VIII or better in
Best's Insurance Guide and shall provide Landlord with a certificate of
insurance evidencing the same. Landlord shall approve or refuse to approve (and
in the case of refusal, Landlord shall specify Landlord's reason therefor) any
contractor proposed by Tenant within ten (10) days after Tenant's delivery of
such contractors' name, address and trade, together with a written notice
requesting approval thereof. With respect to any and all Alterations, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord an administrative fee equal to Landlord's actual and
reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with the review of
Tenant's plans and the coordination with Tenant and its contractors for the
construction of such Alterations. Tenant will not be required to use any
Building standard or Building stocked materials.
(g) Compliance by Landlord. If Tenant is delayed in making
Alterations on account of Landlord's failure to comply with, or cause compliance
with, requirements pursuant to Section 13(b) below, then Landlord shall
promptly, using reasonable diligence, correct such failure (or cause such
failure to be corrected) as soon as reasonably possible in order to minimize any
delay in the making by Tenant of such Alterations. If Tenant is delayed in
making Alterations on account of Landlord's failure to have removed from the
Premises any asbestos which is specifically required to be removed as a part of
Landlord's Work, then Landlord shall promptly, using reasonable diligence,
correct such failure (or cause such failure to be corrected) at its cost, as
soon as possible in order to minimize any delay in the making by Tenant of such
Alterations.
(h) Field Changes to Alterations. Tenant may make changes in
the field to Alterations previously approved by Landlord without first obtaining
Landlord's prior consent so long as such field change (A) is not of a structural
nature, (B) does not adversely affect the Building Systems, (C) does not change
the exterior of the Building, (D) is necessitated by field conditions as
encountered during the construction of the Alterations and is required to be
made in order to conform the Alterations to such condition, (E) is consistent
with the purpose and intent of plans and specifications for the Alterations
approved by Landlord, and (F) does not cost in excess of Fifteen Thousand
Dollars ($15,000.00) for a single field change, or Forty-Five Thousand Dollars
($45,000.00) in the aggregate for all field changes, with respect to the
Alterations under construction; provided that the cost of data and
communications wiring and cabling shall not be included in the calculation of
the cost of each such field change. Tenant shall use reasonable efforts to
provide Landlord notice in accordance with Section 33 prior to making any field
change for which Landlord's consent is not required hereunder, and in the event
that Tenant is unable to provide such prior written notice, Tenant in all events
shall provide to Landlord written notice of such field change as promptly as
reasonably possible. Such written notice shall set forth Tenant's reasonable
estimate of both the cost of the particular field change being made, as well as
the aggregate cost of all field changes made to such date with respect to the
Alterations under construction.
(i) Additional Cooling Tower. Landlord agrees to consider in
its reasonable judgment any reasonable request by Tenant to permit Tenant to
install, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, an additional cooling tower in a
location approved by Landlord on the roof of the Building or in the mechanical
space in the Building to supply additional chilled or condenser water to the
Premises. In the event that Landlord consents to such request, the parties shall
enter into a Lease amendment memorializing the terms and conditions under which
Tenant may install such additional cooling tower.
(j) Increase in Live Load and Electrical Capacity. Subject to
the terms and conditions of this Section 7, Tenant shall have the right, at
Tenant's sole expense at any time during the Term, (I) to increase the live load
capacity for each floor in the Premises, provided that any such increase shall
not in any way diminish the live load capacity for any other floor of the
Building, which floor does not comprise a part of the Premises, and provided
further that upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of this
Lease with respect to any floor of the Premises for which Tenant has increased,
or caused a decrease in, the live load capacity, Tenant shall restore the live
load capacity of such floor to the live load capacity existing on the
Commencement Date for such floor; (II) to increase the electrical capacity of
one or more floors in the Premises by the installation of additional panels, bus
taps, wiring, risers and/or transformers, provided that any such increase shall
not in any way diminish the electrical capacity for any other floor of the
Building, which floor does not comprise a part of the Premises, and provided
further that upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of this
Lease with respect to any floor of the Premises for which Tenant has increased,
or caused a decrease in, the electrical capacity, Tenant shall restore the
electrical capacity to the electrical capacity existing on the Commencement Date
for such floor; (III) to install raised flooring in the Premises; (IV) to
install a supplemental air conditioning system in the Premises; (V) to install
executive bathrooms in the Premises, and (VI) to remove steel braces or columns
in the Crossover Space that are not components of the structural design of the
Building. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Lease to the contrary,
Tenant shall have no obligation to restore or replace any such steel braces or
columns removed by Tenant in accordance with clause (VI) of the sentence
immediately preceding.
(k) As-Builts. Tenant shall provide "as-built" plans and
specifications to Landlord for any and all of the work performed by Tenant
pursuant to this Section 7, as the same may be modified from time to time by
field changes specifically permitted pursuant to this Section 7, as well as any
and all building permits and "finalled" permits required in connection with such
work, as the same may be modified from time to time. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to provide "as-built" plans and
specifications in connection with performing any Decorative Work, Permitted
Alterations or individual field changes specifically permitted herein without
Landlord's consent; however, throughout the Term of this Lease, as the same may
be extended pursuant to the terms hereof, Tenant shall be required to maintain
"as-built" plans and specifications covering the Premises, including any and all
Permitted Alterations and field changes made thereto prior to such date, and
Tenant shall provide to Landlord copies of the same upon Landlord's request
therefor.
8. Liens.
Tenant shall keep the Premises and the Building free and clear
of and from, and shall promptly remove if asserted, any and all mechanics',
materialmen's and other liens for work or labor done, services performed and for
materials used or furnished in or about the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant
(other than work performed by or materials furnished by Landlord). Tenant shall
save, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord, the Premises and the Building free
and harmless of and from any and all such liens or claims of liens or suits or
other proceedings pertaining thereto.
9. Repairs.
(a) Tenant. By taking possession of a portion of the Premises,
Tenant accepts such portion as being in the condition in which Landlord is
obligated to deliver the Premises, subject only to the joint punchlist items as
contemplated by Section 2(b) hereof and except for any latent defects, which
Landlord shall promptly repair. Tenant, at all times during the Term hereof and
at Tenant's sole cost and expense, shall keep the Premises and every part
thereof in good condition and repair, excepting damage due to casualty with
respect to which the provisions of Sections 10 and 12 shall apply and repairs to
be performed by Landlord pursuant to Section 9(b) below. Except to the extent
provided in Section 9(d) below, Tenant hereby waives all right to make repairs
at the expense of Landlord or in lieu thereof to vacate the Premises as provided
by California Civil Code Section 1941 and 1942 or any other law, statute or
ordinance now or hereafter in effect. Landlord has no obligation and has made no
promise to alter, remodel, improve, repair, decorate, or paint the Premises or
any part thereof except as specifically set forth in this Lease and in the Work
Letter. Except as specifically set forth in this Lease and the Exhibits,
Landlord has not made any representations respecting the condition of the
Premises to Tenant.
(b) Landlord. Landlord shall manage and operate the Building
consistent with the management and operation of a first class office building
located in San Francisco, California. Landlord will repair and maintain in good
working order and condition consistent with the condition of a first class
office building the structural portions of the Building, the Building Systems,
the exterior windows, the exterior walls and Building roof, the common areas,
and, to the extent that Landlord is required by the City and County of San
Francisco to maintain the sidewalks abutting the Building, such sidewalks,
provided that Tenant shall be obligated to reimburse Landlord for any repair or
maintenance if necessitated or occasioned by the wrongful acts or negligence of
or breach of this Lease by Tenant or any of Tenant's Agents.
(c) Abatement. If Tenant, as a result of any default by
Landlord in performing any of its obligations under Section 9(b), is not
reasonably capable of conducting its business in the Premises or a portion
thereof for a period of more than two (2) consecutive business days (subject to
extension on a day-by-day basis as a result of Force Majeure) and in fact fails
to occupy the Premises or such portion for more than two (2) consecutive
business days (subject to extension on a day-by-day basis as a result of Force
Majeure), Tenant shall, commencing on the third (3rd) consecutive business day
(or the next business day following such extension period, if later), be
entitled to an abatement of Base Rent and Additional Charges for Real Estate
Taxes and Operating Expenses, which abatement shall be based on the portion of
the Premises with respect to which Landlord has failed to perform repairs
required under Section 9(b) (which portion shall not include any other portion
of the Premises indirectly affected by any of such failure), and which portion
Tenant is unable to use for Tenant's business purposes, and which abatement
shall continue until the earlier of the date on which Tenant is reasonably
capable of conducting its business in the Premises (or such portion thereof) or
the date on which Tenant actually conducts business in the Premises or such
portion thereof.
(d) Tenant's Right to Cure. If Landlord shall default in the
performance of any of its obligations under Section 9(b), which default affects
Tenant's ability to use and enjoy the Premises in the manner contemplated by
this Lease in any material respect, and in the event that Landlord fails to cure
such default within ten (10) days after Landlord's receipt of written notice
from Tenant describing in reasonable detail the nature of such default (or such
longer period of time as may reasonably be required to cure such default in the
event that Landlord commences to cure such default within such ten (10) day
period and diligently pursues the cure of such default thereafter to
completion), then, upon the giving of an additional three (3) business days'
prior written notice of its election to do so (which notice shall state in
capital letters at the top of such notice: "IN THE EVENT THAT LANDLORD FAILS TO
CURE THE BELOW DESCRIBED DEFAULT WITHIN THREE (3) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER LANDLORD
RECEIVES THIS NOTICE, TENANT INTENDS TO CURE SUCH DEFAULT AT LANDLORD'S
EXPENSE"), and if Landlord fails to cure such default within such three (3)
business day period (or such longer period of time as reasonably may be required
to cure such default in the event Landlord commences to cure such default within
such three (3) business day period and diligently pursues the cure of such
default thereafter to completion), Tenant may at any time thereafter and prior
to Landlord's cure thereof remedy such default for Landlord's account and at
Landlord's expense without thereby waiving such default or any rights or
remedies of Tenant on account of such default. Landlord shall pay to Tenant
within thirty (30) days after demand all reasonable sums expended by Tenant, or
other costs, damages, expenses or liabilities reasonably incurred by Tenant,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, in
remedying or attempting to remedy such default, and interest on all such sums at
the Effective Rate, which obligation shall survive the termination of this
Lease.
(e) Landlord to Minimize Interference. Landlord shall use
reasonable diligence to minimize interference with Tenant's use and occupancy of
the Premises in making any repairs; provided, however, that Landlord shall have
no obligation to employ contractors or labor at so-called overtime or other
premium pay rates or to incur any other overtime costs in connection with such
repairs unless same shall adversely affect the health or safety of occupants of
the Premises or impair Tenant's use of or access to the Premises in more than a
de minimis amount, in which event Landlord shall perform such repairs as
expeditiously as possible, including the use of overtime or premium pay rates if
necessary to perform such work during hours other than Tenant's normal business
hours. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant shall so request in writing,
Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to employ contractors or labor at
so-called overtime or other premium pay rates or incur other overtime costs in
making any repairs requested by Tenant, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within
thirty (30) days after demand therefor, which demand shall be accompanied by
supporting documentation, an amount equal to the excess costs incurred by
Landlord to comply with Tenant's request.
10. Destruction Or Damage.
(a) Damage To Building. If the Premises and/or other portion
of the Building are damaged by fire, earthquake, act of God, the elements or
other casualty, Landlord shall forthwith repair the same, excluding any tenant
improvements contained therein, subject to the provisions of this Section
hereinafter set forth, provided that Landlord actually receives sufficient
insurance proceeds to cover the cost thereof, unless the reason Landlord did not
receive sufficient proceeds is due to Landlord's failure to carry insurance
required under this Lease, and, provided further, that in the written opinion of
a reputable independent contractor retained by Landlord (the "Contractor's
Opinion"), such repairs can be completed within eighteen (18) months after the
date of such damage (the "Rebuilding Period") under the laws and regulations of
the federal, state and local governmental authorities having jurisdiction
thereof. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to apply for and
obtain all insurance proceeds promptly after the occurrence of any casualty.
Within sixty (60) days after the date of such damage, Landlord shall deliver a
copy of the Contractor's Opinion to Tenant which opinion shall state how long,
in the opinion of such independent contractor, it will take to make such repairs
after the date of such damage, and such opinion shall be binding on Tenant and
Landlord. If the repairs can be completed within the Rebuilding Period, this
Lease shall remain in full force and effect, except that if Tenant shall not
have been able to occupy the Premises or any portion thereof for the conduct of
its business, Tenant shall be entitled to a proportional abatement of Base Rent
and Additional Charges for Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes (based upon
rentable square footage) for such part of the Premises as shall be rendered
unusable by Tenant in the conduct of its business as a result of (i) damage
sustained to such part as a result of such casualty, (ii) lack of access to such
part as a result of such casualty or (iii) failure by Landlord to supply
services required to be supplied by Landlord pursuant to Section 5 to such part
as a result of such casualty, which abatement shall commence upon the date of
such damage and continue until the Rent Recommencement Date (as hereinafter
defined). As used herein, the term "Rent Recommencement Date" shall mean the
earliest to occur of (A) the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days after
the date that Landlord has completed any and all repairs required under this
Section 10 and redelivered to Tenant the portion of the Premises that was
damaged in a condition such that Tenant is then able to commence restoration and
repair of the Tenant's Initial Improvements and any other improvements in such
portion of the Premises without interference of more than an insignificant
amount, (B) the date on which Tenant first reoccupies such portion of the
Premises for its business purposes, or (C) the date on which Tenant would have
been able to reoccupy such portion of the Premises had Tenant used reasonably
diligent efforts to restore and repair the Tenant's Initial Improvements and any
other improvements in such portion of the Premises constructed by or on the
behalf of Tenant following the redelivery of such portion of the Premises by
Landlord to Tenant in the condition described in clause (A) above. For purposes
of this Section 10, "repair" or "repairs" shall include all repair and
restorative work Landlord in Landlord's good faith but nevertheless sole
discretion deems advisable to restore the Building to the condition it was in on
the Commencement Date, including without limitation, all work and improvements
Landlord deems advisable to improve the condition and quality of the Building,
whether in the form of government mandated building code upgrades or otherwise,
but excluding any obligation of Landlord to demolish, repair or restore Tenant's
Initial Improvements or Alterations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Section 10, in the event that a casualty shall occur at any time prior to
April 1, 2013, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect (except that
Base Rent and Additional Charges for Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes
shall be abated as hereinabove provided) and Landlord shall repair and restore
the casualty damage with reasonable diligence, provided that (I) Landlord
actually receives sufficient insurance proceeds to cover the cost thereof,
unless the reason Landlord did not receive sufficient proceeds is due to
Landlord's failure to carry insurance required under this Lease, (II) the
Contractor's Opinion indicates that repairs can be completed within twenty-four
(24) months after the date of such damage and (III) Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord written notice, given within thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of
the Contractor's Opinion, that Tenant elects to require Landlord to repair or
restore such damage pursuant to this Section 10(a), and such notice by Tenant
shall be deemed to be Tenant's agreement that any abatement of Base Rent and
Additional Charges for Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes will terminate
at the end of the eighteenth (18th) month following the date of such damage, and
commencing upon the nineteenth (19th) month and continuing through the
twenty-fourth (24th) month following the date of such damage, Tenant shall pay
to Landlord Base Rent and Additional Charges for Operating Expenses and Real
Estate Taxes as such amounts become due pursuant to the terms of this Lease, as
if such casualty had not occurred.
(b) Damage To Tenant's Improvements And Property. If the
Premises are damaged by fire, earthquake, act of God, the elements or other
casualty, Tenant shall forthwith repair or replace Tenant's Initial
Improvements, Tenant's Alterations, Tenant's trade fixtures, Tenant's personal
property and any other tenant improvements in the Premises, to the extent
damaged by such casualty, after Landlord shall have completed its repairs to the
Building as required by Section 10(a), provided that, subject to compliance by
Tenant with the provisions of Section 7 hereof, Tenant may make such other or
additional or new Alterations to the Premises as Tenant may deem appropriate for
its occupancy, and nothing in this Section shall be deemed to require Tenant to
reinstall Tenant's Initial Improvements.
(c) Repair. If Landlord does not actually receive sufficient
insurance proceeds to cover the cost of such repairs (where such failure is not
the result of Landlord's failure to maintain insurance required under this
Lease), or if such repairs cannot be made within the Rebuilding Period, as
determined in Section 10(a), Landlord shall elect, by notice to Tenant given
within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Contractor's Opinion of
Landlord's intention: (i) to repair or restore such damage, in which event
(subject to Tenant's right to terminate set forth in the immediately following
sentence) this Lease shall continue in full force and effect (except that Base
Rent and Additional Charges for Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes shall
be partially abated as hereinabove provided) and Landlord shall repair and
restore such damage with reasonable diligence, or (ii) to terminate this Lease
as of a date specified in such notice, which date shall be not less than sixty
(60) nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days after notice is given (or, if
earlier, the last day of the Term), provided that, as a condition of such
termination, Landlord shall have concurrently terminated any other leases
covering any of floors two (2) through seventeen (17) or the Penthouse of the
Building, with respect to which leases Landlord has a comparable termination
right, it being the intent of the parties that Landlord not be able to use the
provisions of this Section 10 to terminate "below market" leases. If such
repairs cannot be completed within eighteen (18) months from the date of such
damage, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease by delivering
written notice of termination to Landlord within thirty (30) days after
Landlord's notice to Tenant of Landlord's determination set forth in the
preceding sentence shall have been given, which termination shall be effective
as of the date set forth in such notice of termination, which date shall be not
less than sixty (60) nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days after notice is
given (or, if earlier, the last day of the Term). In the event that such notice
to terminate is given by Landlord or Tenant as provided above, this Lease shall
terminate on the date specified in such notice. Landlord agrees to refund to
Tenant any Base Rent and Additional Charges for Real Estate Taxes and Operating
Expenses previously paid for any period of time subsequent to such date of
termination. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord any Base Rent and Additional
Charges accrued and unpaid as of such date of termination.
(d) Repairs Not Timely Completed. If neither Landlord nor
Tenant shall have exercised its option to terminate pursuant to this Section 10,
but Landlord shall not have, within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the
date by which the Contractor's Opinion indicated repairs could be made,
completed the repair of the Building and redelivered to Tenant the portion of
the Premises that was damaged in the condition required by Section 10(a), then
Tenant may notify Landlord (with a copy of such notice to be concurrently
delivered by Tenant to Landlord's Lender (as hereinafter defined), provided
Landlord shall have provided to Tenant written notice of the name and address of
Landlord's Lender) that unless Landlord or Landlord's Lender shall cause the
delivery to Tenant of such portion of the Premises in the condition required
above within fifteen (15) days following the giving of such notice by Tenant,
this Lease shall terminate upon the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period.
If this Lease shall be terminated pursuant to this Section 10, Landlord shall
promptly refund to Tenant any Base Rent and Additional Charges for Operating
Expenses and Real Estate Taxes paid by Tenant with respect to any period after
the effective date of termination less any sums due and owing Landlord by Tenant
under this Lease.
(e) Waiver. Tenant waives California Civil Code Sections
1932(2) and 1933(4) providing for termination of hiring upon destruction of the
thing hired in lieu of the provisions of this Section 10 which shall govern.
(f) Costs of Repair. If the Premises are to be repaired under
this Section 10, Landlord shall pay the cost of any injury or damage to the
Building itself, excluding any tenant improvements contained therein, and
Landlord's proportionate share of the cost of any injury or damage to tenant
improvements in the Premises paid for by Landlord hereunder, which proportionate
share shall be based on the ratio of (i) the amount of the Tenant Improvement
Allowance actually expended by Landlord to (ii) the aggregate cost (including
hard and soft costs) of Tenant's Initial Improvements and Alterations. Upon any
event of casualty causing injury or damage to tenant improvements in the
Premises for which Tenant seeks contribution from Landlord for the cost of
repair, Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with the information set forth in
the immediately preceding clause (ii), together with reasonably detailed
supporting documentation. Tenant shall pay the cost of repairing Tenant's
Alterations, Tenant's improvements (subject only to the two immediately
preceding sentences), Tenant's trade fixtures, Tenant's personal property and
any other tenant improvements in the Premises and shall be responsible for
carrying such casualty insurance as it deems appropriate with respect to such
other tenant improvements.
(g) Damage at End of Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Section 10, if any event of casualty occurs during the last
twelve (12) months of the Term of this Lease, as the same may have been extended
pursuant to Section 36, which event of casualty shall cause such damage or
destruction to the Building that Landlord determines, in its sole and absolute
discretion, that the cost of repairing any floor of the Premises damaged by such
event to the condition required by Section 10(a) shall cost at least the
equivalent of three (3) month's Base Rent and Additional Charges for Operating
Expenses and Real Estate Taxes for such floor, then either Landlord or Tenant
shall have the right to terminate this Lease with respect to such floor of the
Premises upon written notice to the other within thirty (30) days following the
event of damage or destruction. In the event that such notice to terminate this
Lease with respect to any floor of the Premises is given by Landlord or Tenant
as provided above, this Lease shall terminate on the date specified in such
notice, which date shall be not less than sixty (60) nor more than one hundred
twenty (120) days after notice is given (or, if earlier, the last day of the
Term). Landlord agrees to refund to Tenant any Base Rent and Additional Charges
for Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses previously paid for any period of
time subsequent to such date of termination. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord
any Base Rent and Additional Charges accrued and unpaid as of such date of
termination.
(h) No Extensions. None of the time periods contained in this
Section 10 shall be extended by reason of Force Majeure.
11. Insurance; Waiver Of Subrogation.
(a) Tenant's Liability Insurance. Tenant, at Tenant's expense,
shall maintain in full force during the Term hereof a policy or policies of
commercial general liability insurance insuring against claims and liability for
personal injury, death and property damage arising in or about the Premises, the
Building and adjoining areas or ways, with a carrier or carriers reasonably
acceptable to Landlord and Landlord's Lender. Landlord agrees that any carrier
or carriers having a rating of not less than A minus VIII or better by Best's
Insurance Guide is reasonably acceptable to Landlord. The liability under such
insurance shall not be less than $10,000,000 combined single limit and with a
deductible amount reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Landlord's Lender,
provided that any deductible within the self insurance limits provided in
Section 11(b) below shall be deemed reasonably acceptable. Such policy or
policies of insurance shall (i) name Landlord and Landlord's Lender as
additional insureds, provided Landlord shall have given Tenant written notice of
the name and address of Landlord's Lender, (ii) be non-assessable, primary and
non-contributory with any policies carried by Landlord, (iii) provide that the
same may not be canceled or materially amended except upon thirty (30) days
prior written notice to Landlord and (iv) be issued on an occurrence basis. Such
coverage may be provided by a combination of commercial general liability and
excess umbrella policies. Any insurance policy may be maintained by a "blanket
policy" insuring other parties and other locations so long as the amount and
coverage required to be provided hereunder is not thereby diminished. Tenant at
all times shall maintain with Landlord a current certificate or certificates of
said policy or policies. The amount of insurance coverage provided for in this
Section 11 shall be increased from time to time during the Term hereof, but not
more frequently than every five (5) years, upon thirty (30) days' prior notice
from Landlord to the extent reasonably required by circumstances then existing
if and when Landlord reasonably determines that such increase is required to
adequately protect the parties named as insureds and the limits of liability for
tenants leasing comparable amounts of space in comparable office buildings in
downtown San Francisco are at such amounts or if Landlord is required to
implement such increase by Landlord's Lender.
(b) Tenant's Self-Insurance. Tenant (but not any successor or
assignee of Tenant, without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent
Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion) shall have the right
to self-insure for up to a maximum amount of $1,000,000, including the
deductible, any of the insurance required to be carried by Tenant under this
Section 11 if and so long as (i) the net worth of Tenant is not less than Two
Hundred Million Dollars ($200,000,000), and (ii) the current assets of Tenant
are not less than Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000), as shown by Tenant's
separate, unconsolidated audited financial statements delivered to Landlord
within thirty (30) days after written request from time to time while such
self-insurance is in effect (which audited financial statements shall have been
issued not more than fifteen (15) months prior to the applicable date). Whenever
Tenant elects to self-insure pursuant to this Section 11(b), Tenant shall, for
all purposes of this Lease (including Section 11(a) above), be deemed to be
carrying the insurance required to be carried by Tenant under this Section 11.
Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing when Tenant elects to self-insure
pursuant to this Section 11(b) and, if Tenant shall have made such election,
Tenant shall notify Landlord when Tenant is not self-insuring at any time
thereafter. In addition, during any time that Tenant elects to self-insure as
permitted hereunder with respect to the liability insurance required to be
carried pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Lease, a third party claims
administrator shall perform the claims management and loss adjustment of all
claims within the scope of such coverage but for self-insurance.
(c) Landlord's Property Insurance. Landlord shall maintain, or
cause to be maintained, at its cost and expense but subject to reimbursement as
Additional Charges for Operating Expenses throughout the Term, a policy or
policies of All Risk or Special Form property insurance insuring the full
replacement cost of the Building (exclusive of foundations and excavations). If
available, Landlord shall carry earthquake insurance on the Building, and the
amount of such insurance policy shall be the greater of (i) Thirteen Million
Dollars ($13,000,000.00) or (ii) based on a probable maximum loss as determined
from time to time by a reputable structural engineer with experience in
evaluating seismic risks of high use office building structures and as selected
by Landlord and reasonably satisfactory to Tenant (which probable maximum loss
shall in no event be less than 18%) with not less than a five percent (5%)
deductible based on the full replacement cost of the Building.
(d) Landlord's Liability Insurance. Landlord, with respect to
the Premises, at its cost and expense but subject to reimbursement as Additional
Charges for Operating Expenses, shall maintain or cause to be maintained,
throughout the Term, a policy or policies of commercial general liability
insurance with limits of liability not less than Ten Million Dollars
($10,000,000.00) combined single limit. Such coverage (i) may be provided by a
combination of commercial general liability and excess umbrella policies; (ii)
shall be issued on an occurrence basis; (iii) all insurance required by this
Section 11 shall be issued by companies having a rating of A minus VIII or
better by Best's Insurance Guide; and (iv) may be maintained under a "blanket
policy", insuring other parties and other locations, so long as the amount and
coverage required to be provided hereunder is not thereby diminished. Landlord
shall provide to Tenant certificates of insurance certifying that the policies
contain the provisions required hereunder. Landlord's insurance shall provide
that the insurer agrees not to cancel or materially amend the policy without at
least thirty (30) days prior written notice to all additional insureds or loss
payees.
(e) Deductibles. All deductibles under policies of insurance
required to be carried by either party under this Section 11 shall be
commercially reasonable under the circumstances, subject to any deductibles
specifically set forth in this Section 11.
(f) Waiver; Subrogation. To the extent lawful and without
adversely affecting any insurance carried by such party, Landlord and Tenant
each releases and waives any right to recover against the other party for any
liability for any loss or damage to property and any other loss or damage to the
extent of coverage under any "All Risk" or "Special Form" policy of insurance
maintained by such party, irrespective of any negligent act or omission of such
other party which may have caused such loss or damage in whole or in part. Each
party shall obtain, for the benefit of the other party, from the relevant
insurer, if available, a waiver of any right of subrogation which the insurer of
such party may acquire against the other party by reason of the payment of any
such loss covered by such insurance.
12. Waiver; Indemnity.
(a) Except to the extent due to the negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord and except to the extent otherwise provided in this
Lease, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or Tenant's agents, employees,
contractors and invitees (collectively, "Tenant's Agents") for, and Tenant
waives as against and releases Landlord and Landlord's Lender from, all claims
for loss or damage to any property or injury, illness or death of any person in,
upon or about the Premises and/or any other portion of the Building and the
Project, arising at any time and from any cause whatsoever, including such
claims caused in whole or in part by the act, omission, or neglect of other
tenants, contractors, invitees or other occupants of the Building or Project or
their agents or employees. The foregoing waiver and release extends to
Landlord's officers, directors, partners, members, employees and agents.
(b) Except to the extent due to the negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord and subject to Section 11(f), Tenant shall indemnify,
defend, protect and hold Landlord harmless of and from any and all loss, liens,
liability, claims, causes of action, damage, injury, cost or expense arising out
of or in connection with, or related to injury to or death of persons or damage
to property occurring or resulting directly or indirectly from (i) the use or
occupancy of, or any occurrence in or the conduct of business in, the Premises,
and/or (ii) the negligent acts or omissions of Tenant or any of Tenant's Agents
in or about any portion of the Project. Tenant's indemnity obligation includes
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, reasonable investigation costs and all
other reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord. Landlord shall have
the right of reasonable approval of legal counsel proposed by Tenant for defense
of any claim indemnified against hereunder or under any other provision of this
Lease, except that if such counsel is appointed by an insurance company
providing a defense to Landlord and/or Tenant, then such counsel shall be deemed
approved by Landlord. The foregoing indemnification shall extend to Landlord's
officers, directors, partners and members.
(c) Except to the extent due to the negligence or willful
misconduct of Tenant and subject to Section 11(f), Landlord shall indemnify,
defend, protect and hold Tenant harmless of and from any and all loss, liens,
liability, claims, causes of action, damage, injury, cost or expense arising out
of or in connection with, or related to injury to or death of persons or damage
to property occurring or resulting directly or indirectly from (i) the negligent
acts or omissions of Landlord, its agents, employees, contractors and invitees,
in or about the Premises or any other portion of the Project and (ii) the use,
generation, storage, handling, release, transport or disposal by Landlord or
Landlord's agents, employees and contractors of any Hazardous Materials in or
about the Premises or any other portion of the Project. Landlord's indemnity
obligation includes reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, reasonable
investigation costs and all other reasonable costs and expenses incurred by
Tenant. Tenant shall have the right of reasonable approval of legal counsel
proposed by Landlord for defense of any claim indemnified against hereunder or
under any other provision of this Lease, except that if such counsel is
appointed by an insurance company providing a defense to Landlord and/or Tenant,
then such counsel shall be deemed approved by Tenant. The foregoing
indemnification shall extend to Tenant's directors, officers, partners,
shareholders, members, employees and agents.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Lease to the
contrary, including without limitation Section 5(g), Section 9(d) and this
Section 12, Landlord in no event shall be liable for any consequential or
incidental damages, lost profits, lost business or other economic loss, except
to the extent due to Landlord's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(e) The provisions of this Section 12 shall survive the
termination of this Lease with respect to any indemnified obligations occurring
prior to such termination. The insurance policy or policies required pursuant to
the provisions of Section 11 by their terms shall cover the indemnity
obligations of the parties under this Section 12.
(f) As used in this Lease, "Landlord's Lender" at any time
shall mean any unaffiliated holder of a mortgage or deed of trust on all or a
portion of the Building or any interest therein at such time.
13. Compliance With Legal Requirements.
(a) General. During the Term of this Lease, Tenant, with
respect to the Premises, at its sole cost and expense, shall comply promptly
with (i) all laws, statutes, regulations, ordinances, building codes,
governmental rules, or requirements now in force or which may hereafter and
during the Term be in force, (ii) the requirements of any board of fire
underwriters or other similar body now or hereafter constituted, and (iii) any
direction or occupancy certificate issued pursuant to any law by any public
officer or officers (collectively, "Requirements"), insofar as any of clauses
(i) through (iii) relate to or affect the condition, use or occupancy of the
Premises, excluding changes, alterations or improvements not necessitated by
Alterations made by or for Tenant pursuant to Section 7. Any such mandated
changes, alterations or improvements or other work not necessitated by
Alterations made by or for Tenant shall be performed and paid for by Landlord,
and the cost thereof shall be subject to inclusion as on Operating Expense to
the extent permitted under clause (xiii) of the definition of Operating Expense
in Section 3(a) of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant agrees and
acknowledges that, during the Term, except with respect to Landlord's Work and
Tenant's Initial Improvements, for which Landlord shall be responsible to cause
compliance with respect only to the elevator lobbies and restrooms located in
the Premises, Tenant shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, to
ensure compliance of the Premises with the Americans with Disabilities Act (the
"ADA") and with any and all other codes, rules and regulations, including,
without limitation, those relating to life safety issues. The judgment of any
court of competent jurisdiction or the admission by Tenant in any action or
proceeding against Tenant (whether Landlord be a party thereto or not) that
Tenant has violated any law, statute or governmental rule, regulation, or
requirement, shall be conclusive of such violation as between Landlord and
Tenant.
(b) Landlord's Compliance. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary provided in Section 13(a) above, Landlord shall, at its sole cost and
expense, perform all work to the Building (excluding the Premises) and to the
elevator lobbies and restrooms located in the Premises required by Requirements
(including the ADA and those relating to life safety issues) as a result of
Tenant's Initial Improvements or Landlord's Work, and Landlord shall not pass
such costs to Tenant as Operating Expenses or otherwise. Additionally, and
except to the extent required of Tenant in Section 7 and Section 13(a), Landlord
shall comply with all Requirements relating to the Building (excluding the
Premises) at the time such compliance is required to be performed to the extent
that such non-compliance would adversely affect Tenant's use and occupancy of
the Premises or preclude Tenant from installing Tenant's Initial Improvements or
from installing any other Alterations; and if Landlord has failed to effect such
compliance at the time Tenant wishes to perform, or obtain a permit to perform,
any Alterations, Landlord shall, at its expense, promptly cause the Building to
comply with such Requirements. Any costs expended by Landlord pursuant to this
Section 13(b) shall be subject to inclusion as an Operating Expense to the
extent permitted by the terms of Section 3(a). In complying with the ADA or any
other applicable building codes during the Term, Landlord shall not reduce the
number of toilet or lavatory fixtures existing on any floor comprising a portion
of the Premises as of the Term Commencement, provided that Landlord shall have
the right in such circumstance to enlarge any restroom area to the extent
reasonably necessary to do so.
(c) Environmental Matters.
(i) As used herein, the following items shall have
the following meanings:
"Environmental Activity" means any actual,
proposed or threatened use, storage, treatment, existence, release, emission,
discharge, generation, manufacture, disposal or transportation of any Hazardous
Materials from, into, on, under or about the Project, or any other activity or
occurrence that causes or would cause any such event to exist.
"Environmental Requirements" means all

in compliance with all Environmental Requirements and prudent industry
practices. Tenant shall, at its own expense, procure, maintain in effect and
comply with all conditions of any and all permits, licenses, and other
governmental and regulatory approvals required under any Environmental
Requirements for any Environmental Activity by Tenant, including, without
limitation, the discharge of (appropriately treated) materials or wastes into or
through any sanitary sewer serving the Premises, and upon termination of this
Lease shall cause all of its Hazardous Materials to be removed from the Premises
in accordance with and in compliance with all applicable Environmental
Requirements.
(iii) Upon having actual knowledge thereof, Tenant
shall notify Landlord in writing:
(A) promptly of any regulatory action that
has been instituted, or threatened by any governmental agency or court with
respect to Tenant that relates to any Environmental Activity;
(B) promptly of any claim relating to any
Environmental Activity by Tenant; or
(C) immediately of any actual or threatened
material release on, under or about the Project of any Hazardous Material,
except any Hazardous Material whose discharge or emission is authorized by and
in compliance with a permit issued by a federal, state, regional or local
governmental agency pursuant to Environmental Requirements.
(iv) Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of any
communications with federal, state, regional or local governments, agencies or
courts with respect to any Environmental Activity or Environmental Requirement
relating to the Premises and any communications with any third party relating to
any claim made or threatened with respect to any Environmental Activity by
Tenant in, on or about the Premises.
(v) Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold
Landlord, Landlord's Lender and each of Landlord's members, partners, employees
and agents, free and harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities,
penalties, forfeitures, losses or expenses (including reasonable attorneys'
fees) arising from or caused in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by (A)
an Environmental Activity by Tenant; or (B) Tenant's failure to comply with any
Environmental Requirement applicable to Tenant or the Premises. Landlord shall
have the right of reasonable approval of legal counsel proposed by Tenant for
defense of any claim indemnified against hereunder or under any other provision
of this Lease, except that if such counsel is appointed by an insurance company
providing a defense to Tenant and/or Landlord, then such counsel shall be deemed
approved by Landlord. Tenant's obligations under this Section 13(c) shall
include, without limitation, all costs of any repair or cleanup, removal or
remediation action, or detoxification or decontamination of the Building or
Premises, or the preparation and implementation of any closure, remedial action
or other plans in connection therewith that are required as a result of any
Environmental Activity by Tenant, and shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of the Term of this Lease.
(vi) Landlord shall not engage in any Environmental
Activity in the Building (other than an Environmental Activity that is
customarily undertaken by owners of office buildings similar to the Building and
that are undertaken in accordance with Environmental Requirements) nor shall
Landlord authorize or knowingly permit any tenant in or other occupant of the
Building or any other person to engage in any Environmental Activity other than
in compliance with Environmental Requirements. Landlord shall, as an Operating
Expense, procure, maintain in effect and comply with all conditions of any and
all permits, licenses, and other governmental and regulatory approvals required

respect to Landlord that relates to any Environmental Activity relating to the
Building;
(C) promptly of any claim relating to any
Environmental Activity by Landlord in, on or about the Building; or
(vii) immediately of any actual or threatened material
release on, under or about the Building of any Hazardous Material, except any
Hazardous Material whose discharge or emission is authorized by and in
compliance with a permit issued by a federal, state, regional or local
governmental agency pursuant to Environmental Requirements.
(viii) Landlord shall provide Tenant with copies of
any communications with federal, state, regional or local governments, agencies
or courts with respect to any Environmental Activity or Environmental
Requirement relating to the Building and any communications with any third party
relating to any claim made or threatened with respect to any Environmental
Activity by Landlord in, on or about the Building.
(ix) Landlord shall indemnify, defend, protect, and
hold Tenant and each of Tenant's partners, employees and agents free and
harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, penalties,
forfeitures, losses or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) to the
extent arising from or caused in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by
(A) an Environmental Activity by Landlord or (B) Landlord's failure to comply
with any Environmental Requirement applicable to Landlord in respect to the
Project. Tenant shall have the right of reasonable approval of legal counsel
proposed by Landlord for defense of any claim indemnified against hereunder or
under any other provision of this Lease, except that if such counsel is
appointed by an insurance company providing a defense to Landlord and/or Tenant,
then such counsel shall be deemed approved by Tenant. Landlord's obligations
under this Section 13(c) shall include, without limitation, all costs of any
repair or cleanup, removal or remediation action, or detoxification or

implementation of any closure, remedial action or other plans in connection
therewith that are required as a result of any Environmental Activity by
Landlord, and shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of
this Lease.
14. Assignment And Subletting.
(a) Assignment and Subletting. Except as expressly permitted
pursuant to this Section, Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of
Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed, assign this Lease or any interest herein (by operation of law or
otherwise), or sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use or
occupancy of the Premises (or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto) by any
party other than Tenant. Landlord shall consent or refuse to consent (and in the
case of refusal, Landlord shall specify Landlord's reason therefor) to any
proposed assignment or sublease within fifteen (15) business days after Tenant's
delivery of a written notice requesting approval thereof, together with the
information required under Section 14(b) below. If Landlord fails to respond to
any proposed assignment or sublease within such fifteen (15) business day
period, Tenant shall have the right to deliver to Landlord a notice, which
notice shall state in capital letters at the top of such notice: "LANDLORD'S
APPROVAL SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE GIVEN IF LANDLORD DOES NOT REFUSE APPROVAL WITHIN
FOUR (4) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER LANDLORD RECEIVES THIS NOTICE", and Landlord's
failure to consent or to consent within said additional four (4) business day
period from Landlord's receipt of such notice shall be deemed Landlord's
approval thereof. For purposes hereof, where Tenant is (i) a partnership, a
limited liability company or a limited liability partnership, "assignment" shall
include a transfer of more than fifty percent (50%) of the equity interest
therein or (ii) a corporation "assignment" shall include any (A) merger,
consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant, (B) liquidation, dissolution or
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant or (C) change in
ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the equity interest therein
(except with respect to a corporation whose stock is publicly owned or whose
stock will be issued, transferred or sold as part of public offering of stock).
Any of the foregoing acts without the consent of Landlord, except as provided
below, shall be void and, at the option of Landlord, shall give Landlord the
right to terminate this Lease unless such act shall be cured. Notwithstanding
any provision of this Lease to the contrary, (I) the merger, consolidation or
other reorganization of Tenant and any assignment of this Lease in connection
with a sale of all or substantially all of Tenant's assets shall not be deemed
to be an assignment of this Lease requiring Landlord's consent, provided that,
in each of the foregoing instances, Tenant shall notify Landlord of the
occurrence of any event referred to in the preceding sentence, and Tenant, or in
the case of a sale of Tenant's assets, Tenant's assignee, continues as an
existing entity with substantially the same net worth as the net worth of Tenant
immediately prior to such transfer, assignment or subletting, and (II) the sale
or transfer of stock of Tenant shall not be considered an assignment of this
Lease.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Tenant
shall be permitted, without the consent of, but with written notice to,
Landlord, to assign or sublet all or any part of the Premises to any entity
controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, Tenant (each, an
"Affiliate").
Without limiting the other instances in which it may be reasonable for
Landlord to withhold its consent to an assignment or subletting, Landlord and
Tenant acknowledge that it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its
consent to a proposed assignment or subletting in the following instances:
(i) in Landlord's reasonable judgment, the use of the
Premises by the proposed assignee or sublessee would violate Section 4 of this
Lease;
(ii) in Landlord's reasonable judgment, in the case
of an assignment, the proposed assignee does not have a net worth of at least
Seventy-Five Million Dollars ($75,000,000.00), and, in the case of a sublease,
the financial condition of the proposed subtenant is such that it cannot meet
its obligations as they come due under the proposed sublease;
(iii) Landlord has reasonably demonstrated to Tenant
that the proposed assignee or sublessee has an unfavorable reputation as a
tenant of property;
(iv) Landlord or another landlord has experienced
previous lease defaults by, or is then in litigation as a landlord and as an
adverse party against, the proposed assignee or sublessee, and such proposed
assignee or sublessee is a tenant in such litigation; and
(v) if the use of the Premises by the proposed
assignee or subtenant will violate any applicable law, ordinance or regulation,
or any use permit issued for the use and occupancy of the Premises.
(b) Information; Landlord's Options. If at any time, or from
time to time, during the Term, Tenant desires to assign this Lease or sublet or
permit the occupancy or use by another of all or any part of the Premises,
except where otherwise permitted without Landlord's consent, Tenant shall give
notice to Landlord setting forth the following: (i) the name, address, and type
of entity of the proposed assignee, sublessee, occupier or user; (ii) the nature
of the business proposed to be carried on in the Premises; (iii) a copy of the
proposed assignment or sublease agreement; and (iv) any other documentation or
information reasonably requested by Landlord, including financial information
covering the proposed assignee, sublessee, occupier or user with respect to such
proposed subletting. All such information may be considered by Landlord in
making Landlord's permitted determinations hereunder, including the granting or
withholding of consent in respect of a proposed assignment or subletting.
(c) Assignment or Subletting Conditions. Subject to the other
provisions of this Section 14, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet such space
to any third party on the following conditions:
(i) In the case of a sublease, the same shall be
subject and subordinate to all of the provisions, terms and conditions of this
Lease,
(ii) No assignment or sublease shall be valid and no
assignee or sublessee shall take possession of the Premises assigned or
subleased until an executed counterpart of such assignment or sublease, in form
and substance satisfactory to Landlord, shall have been delivered to Landlord,
and Landlord shall have expressly consented thereto in writing,
(iii) No assignee or sublessee shall have a further
right to assign or sublet, except with Landlord's prior written consent which
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, as provided in this
Section 14,
(iv) An amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of all
sums or other economic consideration actually received by Tenant as a result of
such assignment or subletting to any entity which is not (A) an Affiliate, (B) a
successor by merger, consolidation, other reorganization or an assignment to a
person to which Tenant has sold all or substantially all of Tenant's assets, or
(C) a Business Partner (as hereinafter defined), however denominated (whether as
consideration for the assignment, rentals under a sublease, or otherwise), which
exceed in the aggregate the total sums which Tenant is obligated to pay Landlord
under this Lease, after deducting Tenant's actual out-of-pocket costs of such
assignment or subletting, including without limitation, Tenant's reasonable
architectural, engineering and legal fees, brokerage commissions, free rent or
other economic concessions, construction costs and cost of rent for any actual
construction period not exceeding sixty (60) days, and attorney's fees of
Landlord payable pursuant to Section 14(e), and which total costs shall be
deducted by Tenant and fully recovered before sharing the same with Landlord,
prorated to reflect obligations allocable to that portion of the Premises
subject to such assignment or sublease, shall be payable to Landlord as
Additional Charges under this Lease without affecting or reducing any other
obligations of Tenant hereunder.
(d) Primary Liability. Regardless of Landlord's consent, no
subletting or assignment shall release Tenant of Tenant's obligation or alter
the primary liability of Tenant to pay the rental and to perform all other
obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of rental by
Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of
any provision hereof. Consent to one assignment or subletting shall not be
deemed consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. In the event of
default by any assignees of Tenant or any successor in interest of Tenant in the
performance of any of the terms hereof, Landlord may proceed directly against
Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against such assignee or
successor. Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments of this Lease or
sublettings or amendments to this Lease with assignees of Tenant, without
notifying Tenant, or any successor of Tenant, and without obtaining its or their
consent thereto, and such action shall not relieve Tenant of liability under
this Lease, provided that Tenant's liability under this Lease shall be no
greater than it would have been but for such amendment.
(e) Attorneys' Fees. If Tenant shall request the consent of
Landlord to any assignment or subletting, then Tenant shall pay Landlord's
actual out-of-pocket and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection with
the review of the assignment or sublease instrument.
(f) Conflicting Provisions. The provisions of this Section
shall prevail and govern over any conflicting provision in any assignment or
subletting to which Landlord gives written consent. Any modification of the
terms of this Lease as between Tenant and Sublessee will not be binding on
Landlord.
(g) Brokerage. Tenant shall save, indemnify and hold Landlord
harmless from any and all claims for real estate brokerage of persons claiming
by or through Tenant arising from any assignment or subletting.
(h) Use or Occupancy by Affiliates and Business Partners.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall be
permitted from time to time to allow its Affiliates to use or occupy all or any
portion of the Premises without obtaining Landlord's consent and without notice
to Landlord. In addition, Tenant shall be permitted from time to time to allow
entities with whom Tenant has an ongoing contractual relationship with regard to
the conduct by such entity of a portion of Tenant's financial services business
(each, a "Business Partner", and collectively, "Business Partners"), to use or
occupy one or more portions of the Premises, provided that, (i) the aggregate
amount of space in the Premises to be occupied by all such Business Partners
shall be less than 22,116 rentable square feet, (ii) such occupancies shall be
for a period of time less than one (1) year in duration and (iii) Tenant
notifies Landlord in advance of each such occupancy, which notice shall include
the identity of such Business Partner, the number of rentable square feet and
location of the portion of Premises to be occupied by such Business Partner and
the commencement and duration of such occupancy. In the event that any Affiliate
and/or Business Partner shall use or occupy any portion of the Premises, each
such Affiliate and/or Business Partner shall be subject to all terms and
conditions of this Lease, including, without limitation, Section 4 hereof.
15. Rules.
Landlord shall have the right to implement reasonable rules
and regulations for the Building and/or the Project at any time during which
Tenant shall not be the sole office tenant in the Building. In addition,
Landlord shall have the right to implement reasonable rules and regulations for
the Building and/or the Project upon Tenant's subletting of any portion of the
Premises, provided that any such rules and regulations shall be subject to
Tenant's approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed. Tenant shall faithfully observe and comply with such rules and
regulations and all reasonable modifications thereof and reasonable additions
thereto from time to time promulgated in writing by Landlord, after notice
thereof given in accordance with Section 33 of this Lease. Landlord shall not be
responsible to Tenant for the nonperformance by any other tenant or occupant of
the Building of any of said rules and regulations, provided that Landlord shall
apply, enact and enforce the rules and regulations in its good faith discretion
and a non-discriminating fashion. If there shall be any conflict or
inconsistency between the provisions of this Lease or any of the rules and
regulations, the provisions of this Lease shall prevail.
16. Entry By Landlord.
(a) Landlord may enter the Premises (other than areas
reasonably designated by Tenant in a notice to Landlord as constituting "Secure
Areas") and common areas as to which Tenant has exclusive use pursuant to
Section 4, at reasonable hours during normal business hours on at least
twenty-four (24) hours' prior notice to Tenant (except as otherwise specifically
provided in clause (iv) below or in emergencies, in which case Landlord shall
give Tenant such notice, if any, as shall be reasonable under the
circumstances), to (i) inspect the same (other than Secure Areas), (ii) exhibit
the same (other than Secure Areas) to prospective purchasers or lenders of the
Building or Project, or during the last eighteen (18) months of the Term, to
prospective tenants, (iii) determine whether Tenant is complying with all its
obligations hereunder, (iv) with no prior notice, supply janitor service and
with notice for any other service required or permitted to be provided by
Landlord to Tenant hereunder, (v) post notices of non-responsibility where
Tenant has notified Landlord that, or Landlord otherwise is aware that, Tenant
will perform work (vi) to the extent permitted or required by this Lease, make
repairs in the Premises (vii) make repairs and improvements to any Building
Systems, including the installation of pipes and conduits in the plenum and
(viii) where it is impractical to do so without entering the Premises, make
repairs, alterations or improvements to any portion of the Building other than
the Premises, provided that (A) the entrances to the Premises shall not be
blocked thereby or access impaired, (B) Tenant's ability to conduct its business
in the Premises is not unreasonably impaired or interfered with, and (C) Tenant
shall have the right to have a representative accompany Landlord during any such
entry, except in case of emergency, where notice to Tenant is not reasonable
under the circumstances, or in case of clause (iv) above. In addition to the
foregoing, Landlord and third parties leasing space on the roof of Building (and
their respective contractors) shall have the right to enter the common areas of
the Building during Tenant's normal business hours (except in case of emergency
in which case such entry may be made at any time) and upon compliance with
Tenant's reasonable security procedures for purposes of access to the roof in
order to install, test, maintain and remove equipment located on the roof.
(b) Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord may, at any time
or from time to time during the Term and subject to the provisions of this
Section 16, perform substantial renovation work in and to the Building or the
Building Systems (which work may include, but need not be limited to, the repair
or replacement of the Building's exterior facade, exterior window glass,
elevators, electrical systems, air conditioning and ventilating systems,
plumbing system, telecommunications system, common hallways, or lobby), any of
which work may require access to the same from within the Premises. If Landlord
needs to shut down a Building System, Landlord shall give Tenant at least thirty
(30) days' notice (other than in the event of an emergency, in which case
Landlord shall give Tenant such notice, if any, as shall be reasonable under the
circumstances), which notice shall also set forth the estimated duration of such
shutdown. Tenant agrees that (i) Landlord shall have access to the Premises
(except Secure Areas) at all reasonable times during business hours, upon not
less than twenty-four (24) hours' prior notice, and otherwise subject to the
provisions of this Section 16(b), for the purpose of performing such work, and
(ii) except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Landlord shall incur no
liability to Tenant, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any abatement of rent on
account of any noise, vibration, or other disturbance to Tenant's business at
the Premises (provided that (A) the entrances to the Premises shall not be
blocked thereby or access impaired, and (B) Tenant's ability to conduct its
business in the Premises is not unreasonably impaired or interfered with, and
(C) Tenant shall have the right to have a representative accompany Landlord
during any such entry) which shall arise out of said access by Landlord or by
the performance by Landlord of the aforesaid renovations at the Building.
Landlord shall use reasonable efforts (which may include an obligation to employ
labor at overtime rates) to avoid disruption to Tenant's business during any
such entry upon the Premises by Landlord. Landlord shall promptly repair any
damage caused by its entry in the Premises and restore the same to the condition
existing immediately preceding Landlord's entry.
(c) Subject to Landlord's compliance with the provisions of
Sections 16(a) and (b), Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages for any
injury or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant's business, any loss of
occupancy of the Premises or any other loss occasioned by any such entry or
entries made by Landlord pursuant to any of the foregoing. Landlord shall at all
times have and retain keys with which to unlock all of the doors in, on or about
the Premises, excluding Tenant's vaults, safes and Secure Areas. Alternatively,
Tenant may use a card key system on all locks for all of the doors in, upon or
about the Premises, provided that Landlord shall be provided by Tenant with a
reasonable number of card keys for access consistent with the preceding
sentence. Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means which Landlord
may deem proper to open any doors in an emergency in order to obtain entry to
the Premises, and any entry to the Premises obtained by Landlord by any of said
means, or otherwise, shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to
be a forcible or unlawful entry into or a detainer of the Premises or an
eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant from the Premises, or any portion
thereof, provided that Landlord shall use reasonable care in entering the
Premises. Keys and card keys retained by Landlord hereunder shall be used solely
for access to the Premises for any purpose permitted under this Section 16 and
for access to the Premises in cases of an emergency, including entry by
Landlord's security personnel. Landlord shall establish, and use commercially
reasonable efforts to enforce, procedures to ensure that any such keys are
maintained in the exclusive possession and control of Landlord and its
designated representatives and are not lost or copied. When not in use, keys
retained by Landlord hereunder shall be kept in the office of the chief engineer
of the Building, janitorial supervisor's office and/or fire control center.
(d) Any work performed or installations made pursuant to this
Section 16 shall be made with reasonable diligence and otherwise pursuant to
Sections 9(b) and (e).
17. Events Of Default.
The occurrence of any one or more of the following events (an
"Event of Default") shall constitute a breach of this Lease by Tenant: (a) if
Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of Base Rent or Additional Charges on
account of Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses when and as the same becomes
due and payable, and such failure shall continue for more than five (5) business
days following notice from Landlord to Tenant of such failure (except that if
Landlord has notified Tenant in writing on two occasions during the twelve (12)
months immediately preceding the due date that Tenant has failed to pay any
installment of Base Rent or Additional Charges on account of Real Estate Taxes
and Operating Expenses on the due date, then the failure to pay such Base Rent
or Additional Charges on account of Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses on
the due date shall constitute an Event of Default); or (b) if Tenant shall fail
to pay any other Additional Charges when and as the same becomes due and payable
and such failure shall continue for more than ten (10) days after Landlord shall
have given Tenant written notice of such default; or (c) if Tenant shall default
in the performance or observance of any other term hereof, and within thirty
(30) days following written notice from Landlord to Tenant of such default,
Tenant shall have failed to cure such default, or if the nature of such default
is such that it cannot reasonably be cured within such 30 day period, Tenant
shall not within such 30 day period have commenced with prompt diligence the
curing of such default, or, having so commenced, shall thereafter have failed to
prosecute with prompt diligence the curing of such default; or (d) if Tenant
shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in
writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due, or shall file a
petition in bankruptcy, or shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or as insolvent, or
shall file a petition in any proceeding seeking any reorganization, arrangement,
composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or similar relief under any
present or future statute, law, or regulation, or shall file an answer
admitting, or fail to protest timely the material allegations of a petition
filed against it in any such proceeding, or shall seek or consent to or
acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver, or liquidator of Tenant
or any material part of its properties; or (e) if within sixty (60) days after
the commencement of any proceeding against Tenant seeking any reorganization,
arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or similar
relief under any present or future statute, law, or regulation, such proceeding
shall not have been dismissed, or if, within sixty (60) days after the
appointment without the consent or acquiescence of Tenant, of any trustee,
receiver, or liquidator of Tenant or of a substantial part of its properties,
such appointment shall not have been vacated; or (f) if this Lease or any estate
of Tenant hereunder shall be levied upon under any attachment or execution and
such attachment or execution is not vacated within sixty (60) days; or (g) if
Tenant shall abandon the Premises or be dispossessed by process of law or
otherwise.
18. Landlord's Right To Terminate.
If an Event of Default shall occur, then, in addition to any
notice required to be given by Landlord pursuant to Section 17, Landlord at any
time thereafter may give a written termination notice to Tenant (the
"Termination Notice"), and on the date specified in such notice (which shall be
not less than ten (10) days after the giving of such notice, which notice shall
constitute the notice required for all statutory purposes) Tenant's right to
possession shall terminate, unless on or before such date all delinquent rent
and all other sums payable by Tenant under this Lease and all costs and expenses
incurred by or on behalf of Landlord hereunder shall have been paid by Tenant
and all other breaches of this Lease by Tenant at the time existing shall have
been fully remedied to the satisfaction of Landlord. Landlord may remove all
persons and property located therein and hold, administer and dispose of any or
all of such properties in accordance with applicable California law, including
California Civil Code Section 1980 et seq. and California Code of Civil
Procedure Section 1174. Landlord may do all things Landlord deems necessary in
order to relet the Premises, including, without limitation any alterations,
repair and/or restoration of the Premises. Upon such termination, Landlord may
recover from Tenant: (a) the worth at the time of award of the unpaid rental
which had been earned at the time of termination; (b) the worth at the time of
award of the amount by which the unpaid rental 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; (c) the worth at the time
of award of the amount by which the unpaid rental for the balance of the Term of
this Lease after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that
Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; and (d) any other amount necessary to
compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure
to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of
things would be likely to result therefrom. The "worth at the time of award" of
the amounts referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above is computed by allowing
interest at the highest rate legally permitted under applicable law. The "worth
at the time of award" of the amount referred to in clause (c) above is computed
by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of
San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%). Notwithstanding any
other provisions hereof, any efforts by Landlord to mitigate damages caused by
Tenant's breach of this Lease shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord's right
to recover damages hereunder and shall not affect the right of Landlord to
indemnification pursuant to the provisions of Section 12 hereof.
19. Continuation Notwithstanding Default.
In the event that Tenant breaches this Lease and abandons the
Premises, this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as Landlord does not
terminate Tenant's right to possession, and Landlord may enforce all its rights
and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the rental as it
becomes due under this Lease. Landlord's remedies shall include, without
limitation, the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4
(Landlord may continue the Lease in effect after Tenant's breach and abandonment
and recover rent as it becomes due, if Tenant has the right to sublet or assign,
subject only to reasonable limitations). Acts of maintenance or preservation or
efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of a receiver upon the
initiative of Landlord to protect Landlord's interest under this Lease shall not
constitute a termination of Tenant's right to possession.
20. Additional Remedies.
The remedies provided for in this Lease are in addition to any
other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity by statute or
otherwise.
21. Landlord's Right To Cure Defaults.
Except as otherwise provided under this Lease, all agreements
and provisions to be performed by Tenant under any of the terms of this Lease
shall be at its sole cost and expense and without any abatement of rental. If
Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money required to be paid by it hereunder,
other than Base Rent and Additional Charges for Real Estate Taxes and Operating
Expenses, or shall fail to perform any other act on its part to be performed
hereunder and such failure shall continue for a period of ten (10) days after
notice thereof by Landlord (except in the event of a default which Landlord
reasonably determines to pose a risk of imminent harm to person or property, in
which event Landlord shall have the right to act immediately), Landlord may, but
shall not be obligated to do so, and without waiving or releasing Tenant from
any obligations of Tenant, make any such payment or perform any such other act
on Tenant's part to be made or performed as in this Lease provided. All sums so
paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs shall be deemed Additional
Charges hereunder and shall be payable to Landlord within thirty (30) days
following Landlord's demand therefor, and Landlord shall have (in addition to
any other right or remedy of Landlord) the same rights and remedies in the event
of the nonpayment thereof by Tenant as in the case of default by Tenant in the
payment of Base Rent.
22. Litigation Expenses.
If either party brings any legal action or proceeding against
the other (including any cross-complaint, counterclaim or third party claim) to
enforce or interpret this Lease or otherwise arising out of this Lease, the
prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be entitled to its costs and
expenses of suit and enforcing the judgment awarded to it, including reasonable
attorneys' fees.
23. Eminent Domain.
If any part of the Premises shall be taken as a result of the
exercise of the power of eminent domain, this Lease shall terminate as to the
part of the Premises so taken as of the date of taking, and either Landlord or
Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease as to the balance of the
Premises remaining after a partial taking by written notice to the other within
sixty (60) days after such date, provided, however, that a condition to the
exercise by Tenant of such right to terminate shall be that such partial taking
shall be to such extent and nature as to substantially and permanently handicap,
impede, or impair the conduct of Tenant's business therein. If all of the
Premises are taken as a result of the exercise of the power of eminent domain,
this Lease shall terminate upon the date of taking. If any part of the Building
(other than the Premises) shall be taken as a result of the exercise of the
power of eminent domain, which renders the operation of the remaining portion of
the Building economically infeasible, as determined by Landlord in its
reasonable discretion, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by
written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days from the date of such taking;
in the event that Landlord does not so elect, this Lease shall continue in full
force and effect, provided that Tenant is afforded continuous access to the
Premises. Landlord agrees to refund to Tenant any Base Rent and Additional
Charges for Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses previously paid for any
period of time subsequent to such date of termination. Tenant agrees to pay to
Landlord any Base Rent and Additional Charges accrued and unpaid as of such date
of termination.
Landlord shall be entitled to any and all compensation, damages,
income, rent, awards, or any interest therein whatsoever which may be paid or
made in connection with any exercise of the power of eminent domain, and Tenant
shall have no claim against Landlord for the value of any unexpired term of this
Lease or otherwise, except that Tenant shall be entitled to any separate award
made in favor of Tenant covering Tenant's trade fixtures and relocation
expenses. In the event of a partial taking of the Premises which does not result
in a termination of this Lease, the Base Rent and Additional Charges for
Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes thereafter to be paid shall xxxxx in
proportion to that portion of the Premises that is taken as a result of the
exercise of the power of eminent domain, and Landlord, at Landlord's expense,
shall undertake such improvements in and about the Premises so as to make any
affected portion of the Premises a self-contained unit.
It is understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions of this
Section are intended to and do fully define and set forth the respective rights
and obligations of the parties in the event of a taking of the Premises or a
part thereof, including without limitation the circumstances under which this
Lease shall or may be terminated, and the disposition of any proceeds of any
insurance or award, and Landlord and Tenant each expressly waives the benefit
and effect of any rights and/or obligations whether purporting to arise by law,
by governmental order, under any insurance contract, or otherwise (including the
provisions of the California Code of Civil Procedure ss.1265.130), which are
inconsistent with the rights and obligations set forth herein.
For purposes hereof the "date of taking" shall be deemed to be the date
that physical possession of the property taken is delivered to the condemning
authority.
24. Subordination.
Concurrent with the execution of this Lease, Landlord and
Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver a subordination, non-disturbance
and attornment agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J (the "SNDA"),
and, in the event that Landlord's Lender has not executed and delivered the SNDA
on or before such date, Landlord shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain from
Landlord's Lender as soon as possible thereafter the SNDA executed and
acknowledged by Landlord's Lender. In the event Landlord fails to deliver to
Tenant an original counterpart of the SNDA executed and acknowledged by
Landlord's Lender within fifteen (15) days after the date of this Lease, Tenant
shall have the option to terminate this Lease by and effective upon five (5)
business days' written notice delivered to Landlord, provided that if Landlord
delivers to Tenant such SNDA executed and acknowledged by Landlord's Lender
prior to the expiration of such five (5) business day period, such notice of
termination shall be void and of no further force or effect and this Lease shall
continue in effect, subject to the terms and conditions hereof.
Subject to the foregoing, this Lease shall be subject and subordinate
at all times to (i) all ground or underlying leases which may hereafter be
executed affecting the Building and (ii) the liens of all mortgages and deeds of
trust hereafter placed on or against the Building or on or against Landlord's
interest or estate therein or on or against all such ground or underlying
leases, all without the necessity of having further instruments executed on the
part of Tenant to effect such subordination; provided, however, that any such
future subordination of this Lease shall be conditioned upon concurrent delivery
to Tenant of a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement on such
future lender's or ground lessor's standard form, which Tenant hereby covenants
to execute as long as such agreement contains terms consistent with the
provisions of the SNDA and is otherwise consistent with then customary industry
and commercially reasonable practices of institutional encumbrancers.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such lender or ground lessor shall have the
right by written notice to Tenant, to subordinate its deed of trust, mortgage or
ground lease, as applicable, to this Lease, and upon such notice, this Lease
shall be deemed prior to such deed of trust, mortgage or ground lease. Tenant
agrees to execute and deliver upon demand such further instruments evidencing
such subordination of this Lease to such ground or underlying leases, and to the
liens of any such mortgages or deeds of trust, as may be requested by Landlord
and/or in such form as is reasonably required by such future lessor or lender,
respectively (including provisions waiving as against lender claims of, and
giving to lender notice of and the right to cure, Landlord defaults under the
Lease).
Landlord authorizes Tenant to comply with any notice from Landlord's
Lender directing Tenant to forward all future rents and other sums payable by
Tenant under the Lease to such address specified in any such notice from
Landlord's Lender. In no event shall Tenant be charged by Landlord for, or be
required by Landlord to incur any costs for, or in connection with, the
execution or delivery of any SNDA (except for Tenant's own legal expenses), and
Landlord shall not pass through as an Operating Expense any cost paid or
incurred by Landlord in connection therewith.
Landlord warrants and represents that as of the date hereof, there
exist no liens or encumbrances on the Building, the Project or the Premises
superior to this Lease (other than liens for Real Estate Taxes) and the lien of
a deed of trust in favor of Universal American Mortgage Company of California,
which if enforced or foreclosed would result in the termination of this Lease.
25. No Merger.
The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a
mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger, and, at the option of
Landlord, either shall operate (a) to terminate all or any existing subleases or
subtenancies under the Lease or (b) as an assignment to Landlord of any or all
such subleases and subtenancies.
26. Sale.
If the original Landlord hereunder, or any successor owner of
the Building, shall sell or convey the Building, all liabilities and obligations
on the part of the original Landlord, or such successor owner, under this Lease
accruing thereafter shall terminate, provided that the transferee shall have
assumed all liabilities and obligations thereafter accruing, and thereupon all
such liabilities and obligations shall be binding upon the new owner. Tenant
agrees to attorn to such new owner.
27. Estoppel Certificates.
(a) Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord,
within ten (10) business days following request by Landlord, a certificate
certifying (i) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if
there have been modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect as
modified and stating the date and nature of each modification), (ii) the date,
if any, to which rental and other sums payable hereunder have been paid, (iii)
that no notice has been received by Tenant of any default which has not been
cured, except as to defaults specified in said certificate and (iv) such other
matters as may be reasonably requested by Landlord or Landlord's Lender. Any
such certificate may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser, mortgagee, or
beneficiary under any deed of trust on the Building or any part thereof.
(b) Landlord shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Tenant,
within ten (10) business days following request by Tenant a certificate
certifying (i) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if
there have been modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect as
modified and stating the date and nature of each modification), (ii) the date,
if any, to which rental and other sums payable hereunder have been paid, (iii)
that no notice has been received by Landlord of any default which has not been
cured, except as to defaults specified in said certificate and (iv) such other
matters as may be reasonably requested by Tenant or Tenant's assignee or
sublessee. Any such certificate may be relied upon by any prospective assignee
of this Lease or sublessee of all or a portion of the Premises.
28. No Light, Air, Or View Easement.
Any diminution or shutting off of light air or view by any
structure which may be erected on lands adjacent to the Building shall in no way
affect this Lease or impose any liability on Landlord, provided that Landlord
shall not cause the construction of any building in the Project which will shut
off light or air to, or view from, the Building.
29. Holding Over.
(a) General. If, without objection by Landlord, Tenant holds
possession of any portion of the Premises after expiration of the Term of this
Lease, Tenant shall become a tenant from month to month upon the terms,
conditions and provisions herein specified but at a monthly rental equivalent to
one hundred and twenty-five percent (125%) of the then prevailing fair market
month-to-month rental for the Premises as reasonably determined by Landlord but
in no event less than the Base Rent and Additional Charges for Operating
Expenses and Real Estate Taxes being paid by Tenant in the last month of the
Term of this Lease, payable in advance on or before the first day of each month.
(b) Single Floor or Contiguous Floors. Notwithstanding Section
29(a) above, in the event that Tenant shall hold possession of (i) all or any
portion of a single floor of the Premises or (ii) all or any portion of a number
of contiguous floors of the Premises, then Tenant shall become a tenant from
month to month, with respect only to such single floor or contiguous floors of
the Premises (and not the entire Premises), as the case may be, on the terms,
conditions and provisions herein specified but at a monthly rental equivalent to
one hundred and twenty-five percent (125%) of the then prevailing fair market
month-to-month rental for such floor or contiguous floors, as the case may be,
of the Premises as reasonably determined by Landlord but in no event less than
the Base Rent and Additional Charges for Operating Expenses and Real Estate
Taxes being paid by Tenant in the last month of the Term of this Lease for such
floor or contiguous floors of the Premises, as the case may be, payable in
advance on or before the first day of each month. Each party shall give the
other notice at least one month prior to the date of termination of such monthly
tenancy of its intention to terminate such tenancy.
30. Abandonment.
If Tenant shall vacate, abandon, or surrender the Premises, or
be dispossessed by process of law or otherwise, any personal property belonging
to Tenant and left on the Premises shall be deemed to be abandoned, at the
option of Landlord, except such property as may be mortgaged to Landlord.
31. Surrender.
Tenant shall at the end of the Term hereof surrender to
Landlord the Premises and all alterations, additions and improvements thereto in
good order and condition, ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire, earthquake,
other casualty, act of God, or the elements excepted. Subject to Landlord's
right to require removal pursuant to Section 7 hereto, all improvements
installed in the Premises by Tenant, shall, without compensation to Tenant, then
become Landlord's property free and clear of all claims to or against them by
Tenant or any third person claiming through Tenant, and Tenant shall defend and
indemnify Landlord against all liability and loss arising from such claims.
In the event that Tenant at any time shall lease a portion, but not
all, of the Premises for any reason, including, without limitation, pursuant to
Section 2(a), Section 10(g), Section 23, Section 29 or Section 36, Tenant agrees
to execute, within ten (10) business days of the expiration or other termination
of the Lease with respect to any floor or floors of the Premises, an amendment
to this Lease in a form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and Tenant
relinquishing Tenant's exclusive access to any common areas of the Building,
including, without limitation, elevators, as well as Tenant's rights to install
and maintain Building security systems pursuant to Section 39 (other than in the
Premises).
32. Waiver.
The waiver by either party of any term, agreement, condition,
or provision herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any
subsequent breach of the same or any other term, agreement, condition, or
provision herein contained, nor shall any custom or practice which may grow
between the parties in the administration of the terms hereof be construed to
waive or to lessen the right of such party to insist upon the performance by the
other party in strict accordance with said terms. The subsequent acceptance of
Base Rent or Additional Charges hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be
a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, agreement, condition, or
provision of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular
Base Rent or Additional Charges so accepted, regardless of Landlord's knowledge
of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such Base Rent or
Additional Charges.
33. Notice.
All notices and demands provided in this Lease to be given or
made or sent, or which may be given or made or sent by one party to another
party, and all other writings to be given or made or which may be given or made
by one party to the other, shall be given by hand delivery, reputable overnight
courier or United States mail, registered or certified, postage prepaid, return
receipt required, and addressed to such party at the address specified in the
Basic Lease Information, or to such other place as such party may from time to
time designate in a notice to the other party or parties. Any notice given in
accordance with this Section 33 shall be deemed to have been given (a) on the
date of hand delivery if sent by hand delivery or (b) on the date of actual
delivery (or refusal thereof), as shown on the return receipt or other delivery
record if sent by any other means permitted hereunder. Landlord shall have the
right to serve any and all dispossessory or distraint proceedings and notices in
any manner permitted by law.
34. Complete Agreement.
There are no oral agreements between Landlord and Tenant
affecting this Lease, and this Lease supersedes and cancels any and all previous
negotiations, arrangements, brochures, agreements, and understandings, if any,
between Landlord and Tenant or displayed by Landlord to Tenant with respect to
the subject matter of this Lease. There are no representations between Landlord
and Tenant other than those contained in this Lease, and all reliance with
respect to any representations is solely upon such representations.
35. Corporate Authority.
(a) If Tenant signs as a corporation, each of the persons
executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant does hereby covenant and warrant that
Tenant is a duly authorized and existing corporation, that Tenant has and is
qualified to do business in California, that the corporation has full right and
authority to enter into this Lease, and that the person(s) signing on behalf of
the corporation were authorized to do so. Upon Landlord's request, Tenant shall
provide Landlord with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord confirming
the foregoing covenants and warranties.
(b) Each person executing this Lease on behalf of Landlord
does hereby covenant and warrant that Landlord is a duly authorized and existing
limited liability company, that Landlord has and is qualified to do business in
California, that Landlord has full right and authority to enter into this Lease,
and that such person signing on behalf of Landlord is authorized to do so. Upon
Tenant's request, Landlord shall provide Tenant with evidence reasonably
satisfactory to Tenant confirming the foregoing covenants and warranties.
36. Options to Extend.
Tenant shall have the option to extend this Lease with respect
to all or a portion of the Premises for two additional consecutive terms (each,
an "Extension Period"), in accordance with the terms of this Section 36.
(a) First Extension Options. Upon the expiration of the
initial Term of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to exercise either of
the following extension options (collectively, the "First Extension Options"):
(i) Tenant shall have the option to extend this Lease
with respect the entire Premises, for a term commencing May 1, 2018 and ending
(A) with respect to floors three through
seven of the Building and that designated portion of the Garage being shown as
"Area A" on Exhibit K, on April 30, 2023;
(B) with respect to floors eight through
twelve of the Building and that designated portion of the Garage being shown as
"Area B" on Exhibit K, on April 30, 2024;
(C) with respect to floors two and thirteen
through the Penthouse of the Building, the Crossover Space and that designated
portion of the Garage being shown as "Area C" on Exhibit K, on April 30, 2025;
and otherwise upon the same terms and conditions as this Lease except for Base
Rent (the "Entire Premises Extension Option"); or
(ii) Tenant shall have the option to extend this
Lease with respect to either (A) floors two through eight of the Building or (B)
floors two through nine of the Building, in either case for a term commencing
May 1, 2018 and ending on April 30, 2025, and otherwise upon the same terms and
conditions as this Lease except for Base Rent (the "Partial Premises Extension
Option"). In the event that Tenant exercises the Partial Premises Extension
Option, Tenant shall have the additional option to extend this Lease with
respect to those portions of the Garage and/or Crossover Space being shown as
the "Garage Premises" and "Crossover Premises", respectively, on Exhibit L, for
a term commencing May 1, 2018 and ending on April 30, 2025, and otherwise upon
the same terms and conditions as this Lease except for Base Rent.
(b) Second Extension Options. Provided that Tenant shall have
exercised either of the First Extension Options, upon the expiration of the
first Extension Period, Tenant shall have the right to exercise either of the
following additional extension options (collectively, the "Second Extension
Options"):
(i) If Tenant shall have previously exercised the
Entire Premises Extension Option, then Tenant shall have the right:
(A) to further extend this Lease with
respect to the entire Premises for a Term commencing, as to each respective
floor of the Premises, on the date immediately following the final day of the
first Extension Period with respect to such floor, and ending on the date seven
(7) years from such date, and otherwise upon the same terms and conditions as
this Lease except for Base Rent; or
(B) to further extend this Lease with
respect to either (I) floors two through eight of the Building or (II) floors
two through nine of the Building, in either case for a Term commencing, as to
each respective floor of the Premises, on the date immediately following the
final day of the first Extension Period with respect to such floor, and ending
on April 30, 2032, and otherwise upon the same terms and conditions as this
Lease except for Base Rent. In the event that Tenant further extends this Lease
as set forth in this Section 36(b)(i)(B), Tenant shall have the additional
option to extend this Lease with respect to those portions of the Garage and/or
Crossover Space being shown as the "Garage Premises" and "Crossover Premises",
respectively, on Exhibit L, for a term coterminous with the term of the Second
Extension Option being exercised pursuant to this Section 36(b)(i)(B), and
otherwise upon the same terms and conditions as this Lease except for Base Rent.
(ii) If Tenant shall have previously exercised the
Partial Premises Extension Option, then Tenant shall have the right to further
extend this Lease with respect to the same such floors of the Building with
respect to which Tenant shall have previously exercised the Partial Premises
Extension Option, for a term commencing May 1, 2025 and ending on April 30,
2032, and otherwise upon the same terms and conditions as this Lease except for
Base Rent. In addition, in the event that Tenant shall have previously exercised
its option to extend this Lease with respect to a portion of the Garage and/or
to a portion of the Crossover Space in connection with its exercise of the
Partial Premises Extension Option, then Tenant shall have the right to further
extend this Lease with respect to the same such portion or portions, as the case
may be, of the Premises for a term commencing May 1, 2025 and ending on April
30, 2032, and otherwise upon the same terms and conditions as this Lease except
for Base Rent.
(c) Conditions. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, Tenant's
right to exercise any of the Extension Options shall be subject to the following
conditions:
(i) At the time of exercising each such Extension
Option, Tenant shall occupy, and shall not have assigned or sublet more than
one-half of the aggregate rentable area then constituting the Premises.
(ii) Each Extension Option shall be exercised, if at
all, by written notice of exercise given to Landlord by Tenant not more than
thirty-six (36) months nor less than eighteen (18) months prior to the
expiration date of this Lease, as extended, if applicable. Such notice, once so
given, shall not be withdrawn or rescinded by Tenant. Tenant hereby expressly
acknowledges and agrees that time is of the essence for purposes of notice of
exercise of such option and that Tenant's failure to do so within the time
period set forth above will relieve Landlord of any obligation under this
Section 36.
(iii) Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, if, on the date Tenant exercises the Extension Option, (a) an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Lease, (b) any
monetary default not constituting an Event of Default exists under the Lease, or
(c) Tenant shall have made a general assignment for the benefit of creditors,
shall have admitted in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become
due, shall have filed a petition in bankruptcy, or been adjudicated a bankrupt
or as insolvent, shall have filed or had filed against it a petition in any
proceeding seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment,
liquidation, dissolution, or similar relief under any present or future statute,
law, or regulation, or shall have sought or suffered the appointment of any
trustee, receiver, or liquidator of Tenant or any material part of its
properties, or this Lease or any estate of Tenant hereunder shall have been
levied upon under any attachment or execution, then Landlord shall have, in
addition to all of Landlord's other rights and remedies provided in this Lease,
the right to terminate such Extension Option upon notice to Tenant and this
Lease shall thereafter terminate in accordance with its terms as if such
Extension Option were never exercised, provided, that, in the event that a
monetary default not constituting an Event of Default by Tenant exists under the
Lease at the time Tenant exercises the Extension Option, Landlord shall so
notify Tenant within ten (10) days of receiving Tenant's notice of exercise of
such Extension Option that Landlord is terminating such Extension Option. If
Landlord fails to so notify Tenant, then Tenant's Extension Option shall be
valid and effective notwithstanding that Tenant was in monetary default not
constituting an Event of Default on the date of exercising the Extension Option.
Nothing in this Section 36(c)(iii) shall preclude Tenant from exercising its
Extension Option after Tenant cures a default under clause (b) of the first
sentence hereof if the conditions set forth in Section 36(c)(ii) are satisfied.
(iv) The Base Rent payable during any Extension
Period shall be an amount equal to the greater of the Base Rent payable for the
last month of the Term of the Lease immediately preceding the commencement of
such Extension Period or one hundred percent (100%) of the Prevailing Market
Rent (as hereinafter defined), which greater amount shall be prorated on a
rentable square foot basis as necessary in the event that the Extension Option
shall be exercised with respect to a portion, but not all, of the Premises.
"Prevailing Market Rent" shall mean such net rents as constitute the prevailing
net rents agreed to be paid generally by new and renewing tenants, which tenants
are strong credit tenants which occupy a minimum of 100,000 square feet in other
comparable buildings in the south of Market Street, San Francisco financial
district (collectively, "Comparable Tenants"), for comparable space and for
comparable terms pursuant to new leases entered into by such other tenants on or
about the commencement of the relevant Extension Period. Determination of
Prevailing Market Rent shall take into consideration all relevant lease terms,
effective rental rates, the Additional Charges for Real Estate and Operating
Expenses being paid by Tenant at the commencement of the relevant Extension
Period, building identification and signage, any tenant concessions (any such
concessions to include, without limitation, free rent, tenant improvement
allowances, construction time, leasing commissions paid to tenants' brokers,
lease assumptions and relocation allowances), location of floors within the
Building in the case of a partial exercise, and other economic factors being
obtained by such other Comparable Tenants. In the event that the prevailing
market for leases to Comparable Tenants includes any tenant concessions,
Landlord shall either make comparable concessions to Tenant or reduce Tenant's
Base Rent by the amount required to fully amortize the aggregate amount of such
concessions over the term of the relevant Extension Period at Landlord's then
cost of funds (or, in the event that Landlord does not borrow funds, the
Effective Rate).
(v) The parties shall attempt in good faith to
mutually determine Prevailing Market Rent for the purposes of determining the
Base Rent payable during an Extension Period. If they do so, such rental as so
determined shall be the rental for such Extension Period. If they are unable to
do so within thirty (30) days after Landlord's receipt of Tenant's notice of
exercise of any Extension Option, either party hereto shall have the right to
elect to arbitrate the determination of Prevailing Market Rent in accordance
with the terms set forth in this Section 36. To the extent that arbitration has
not been completed prior to the expiration of any preceding period for which
Base Rent has been determined, Tenant shall continue to pay Base Rent at the
rate in effect immediately prior to such expiration, with an appropriate
adjustment being made once Prevailing Market Rent is ultimately determined by
arbitration.
(vi) In the event of arbitration, the judgment or the
award rendered in any such arbitration may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction and shall be final and binding between the parties. The arbitration
shall be conducted and determined in the City and County of San Francisco in
accordance with the then prevailing rules of the American Arbitration
Association or its successor for arbitration of commercial disputes except to
the extent that the procedures mandated by said rules shall be modified herein.
(vii) The party making demand for arbitration shall
do so in writing, specifying in such demand the name and address of the person
to act as the arbitrator on its behalf. The arbitrator shall be qualified as a
real estate appraiser familiar with the Prevailing Market Rent of first-class
commercial office space in the south of Market Street, San Francisco financial
district area who would qualify as an expert witness over objection to give
opinion testimony addressed to the issue in a court of competent jurisdiction.
Within fifteen (15) days after the service of the demand for arbitration, the
non-demanding party shall give notice to such demanding party, specifying the
name and address of the person designated by the non-demanding party to act as
arbitrator on its behalf who shall be similarly qualified. If the non-demanding
party shall fail to notify the demanding party of the appointment of its
arbitrator, within or by the time above specified, then the arbitrator appointed
by the demanding party shall be the arbitrator to determine the issue.
(viii) In the event that two arbitrators are chosen
as set forth above, the arbitrators so chosen shall, within fifteen (15) days
after the second arbitrator is appointed appoint a third arbitrator, who shall
be a competent and impartial person with qualifications similar to those
required of the first two arbitrators. In the event they are unable to agree
upon such appointment within seven (7) days after expiration of said fifteen
(15) day period, the third arbitrator shall be selected by the then Presiding
Judge of the Superior Court of the State of California, having jurisdiction over
the City and County of San Francisco.
(ix) The issue shall be resolved by the three
arbitrators within fifteen (15) days of the appointment of the third arbitrator
in accordance with the following procedure. The arbitrator selected by each of
the parties shall state in writing his or her determination of the Prevailing
Market Rent supported by the reasons therefor with counterpart copies to each
party. The arbitrators shall arrange for a simultaneous exchange of such
proposed resolutions. The role of the third arbitrator shall be to select which
of the two proposed resolutions more closely approximates his or her
determination of Prevailing Market Rent. The third arbitrator shall have no
right to propose a middle ground or any modification of either of the two
proposed resolutions. The resolution such third arbitrator chooses as more
closely approximating his or her determination shall constitute the decision of
the arbitrators and be final and binding upon the parties.
(x) In the event of a failure, refusal or inability
of any arbitrator to act, such arbitrator's successor shall be appointed in the
same manner as provided for the initial appointment of such arbitrator. Each
party shall pay the fee and expenses of its respective arbitrator and both shall
share the fee and expenses of the third arbitrator, and the attorneys' fees and
expenses of counsel for the respective parties and of witnesses shall be paid by
the respective party engaging such counsel or calling such witnesses.
(xi) Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment
to this Lease, setting forth the lease terms to apply during the relevant
Extension Period, within fifteen (15) business days of the final determination
of Prevailing Market Rent with respect to such Extension Period.
37. Right of First Offer.
(a) Landlord hereby grants to Tenant, on the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth, the continuing right of first offer (the
"Right of First Offer") to lease any retail space located in the Building (the
"Retail Space"), as any such Retail Space shall become available for lease from
time to time both before Landlord shall lease it to third parties and after the
initial leasing of the Retail Space. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant written
notice (the "Retail Space Offer Notice"), upon learning of the upcoming
availability of any Retail Space for lease (the "Available Retail Space"), which
Retail Space Offer Notice shall set forth the following information with respect
to such Available Retail Space: the rentable area, the location, the date of
availability and the terms upon which Landlord is willing to lease the Available
Retail Space. Tenant shall have the right, within ten (10) business days after
receipt of such Retail Space Offer Notice, to deliver to Landlord written notice
that Tenant either (i) elects to lease the Available Retail Space upon such
terms included in the Retail Space Offer Notice or (ii) rejects the Right of
First Offer. In the event that Tenant shall have rejected the Right of First
Offer or shall fail to timely exercise such Right of First Offer within such ten
(10) business days, Tenant shall be deemed to have rejected the Right of First
Offer, and Landlord shall be free to lease the Available Retail Space to any
other prospective tenant, within a period of nine (9) months from Tenant's
receipt of the Retail Space Offer Notice, on terms not Materially More Favorable
(as hereinafter defined) than those offered to Tenant in the Retail Space Offer
Notice. In the event that either Landlord desires to enter a lease with a
prospective tenant upon terms Materially More Favorable than those set forth in
the Retail Space Offer Notice or Landlord does not enter into a binding
commitment to lease the Available Retail Space within nine (9) months from
Tenant's receipt of the Retail Space Offer Notice, then, prior to leasing the
Available Retail Space to any prospective tenant, Landlord shall deliver to
Tenant an updated Retail Space Offer Notice containing the terms Landlord is
willing to accept from the prospective tenant, or if there is no prospective
tenant, upon such revised terms Landlord would like to propose, and the rights
and obligations of Landlord and Tenant with respect to such updated Retail Space
Offer Notice shall be the same as for the initial Retail Space Offer Notice.
(b) In the event that Tenant shall timely exercise the Right
of First Offer with respect to any Available Retail Space in accordance with the
terms hereof, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Lease with
respect to such Available Retail Space upon the terms set forth in the Retail
Space Offer Notice within fifteen (15) business days of such exercise by Tenant,
but the parties' failure so to execute such agreement shall not affect the
validity or enforceability of Tenant's exercise.
(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant
shall have no Right of First Offer with respect to any Available Retail Space in
the event that an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under
this Lease at the time such Retail Space becomes available for lease.
(d) As used herein, "Materially More Favorable" shall mean
terms having a Net Present Value (as hereinafter defined) that is less than the
Net Present Value of the terms set forth in the Retail Space Offer Notice by ten
(10) percent or more. The "Net Present Value" of a proposed lease shall mean the
present value (using a discount factor of nine percent (9%) per annum) of the
net rental payable under such proposed lease less the present value of all lease
concessions granted thereunder (including, without limitation, tenant
improvement allowances, lease buy-out payments, move-in allowances and similar
concessions other than free rent).
(e) Tenant's Right of First Offer with respect to any of the
Retail Space is subject to all existing rights of tenants of such Retail Space
during the Term of this Lease. So long as Tenant leases all of the office space
in the Building under this Lease, in the event that any tenant in any of the
Retail Space whose lease contains an option to extend (each, a "Retail Tenant")
negotiates an extension of its lease on terms other than those specifically set
forth in its option to extend contained in its lease, Landlord shall deliver to
Tenant written notice of the terms offered by such Retail Tenant. Tenant shall
have the right, within ten (10) business days after receipt of such notice from
Landlord, to deliver to Landlord written notice that Tenant elects to lease such
Retail Space upon the same terms offered by the Retail Tenant. If Tenant shall
not timely deliver such notice of election, Landlord shall be free thereafter to
lease such Retail Space to the Retail Tenant.
38. First Right of Purchase.
(a) Landlord hereby grants to Tenant, on the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth, a one-time first right of purchase (the "First
Right of Purchase") with respect to the Building or any interest therein.
Landlord shall deliver to Tenant written notice (the "Right of Purchase Notice")
of any intention by Landlord to sell the Building or any interest therein
(except in connection with a Booth Family Transfer), which Right of Purchase
Notice shall set forth the price and material terms upon which Landlord is
willing to sell the Building or such interest. Tenant shall have the right,
within fifteen (15) business days after such delivery, to deliver to Landlord
written notice that Tenant elects to negotiate for the purchase of the Building
or such other interest offered by Landlord (the "Election to Negotiate"). If
Tenant shall have rejected the First Right of Purchase or in the event that
Tenant shall fail to timely deliver the Election to Negotiate within such
fifteen (15) business days, Tenant shall be deemed to have elected not to
negotiate for the purchase of the Building or such other interest, and Landlord
shall be free thereafter to sell the Building or such interest therein described
in the Right of Purchase Notice upon any terms and conditions acceptable to
Landlord.
(b) In the event that Tenant shall timely deliver the Election
to Negotiate in accordance with the terms hereof, Tenant shall submit a written
counter-proposal to Landlord within thirty (30) business days of delivering the
Election to Negotiate, which counter-proposal shall set forth the terms upon
which Tenant is willing to purchase the Building or such interest therein
described in the Right of Purchase Notice. Upon the timely delivery of such
counter-proposal to Landlord, Tenant shall have the exclusive right, for a
period of one hundred and twenty (120) days from Tenant's receipt of the Right
of Purchase Notice (the "Negotiation Period"), to negotiate and execute a
purchase and sale agreement with Landlord for the purchase of the Building or
such interest therein described in the Right of Purchase Notice. Landlord and
Tenant hereby agree to negotiate in good faith during such Negotiation Period,
unless the parties shall mutually agree to earlier terminate such negotiations.
(c) In the event that Landlord and Tenant fail to execute a
purchase and sale agreement within the Negotiation Period, Landlord shall be
free thereafter to sell the Building or such interest therein described in the
Right of Purchase Notice upon any terms and conditions acceptable to Landlord;
provided, however, that in the event that, following the expiration of the
Negotiation Period, Landlord desires to accept a third party bona fide offer to
purchase the Building, then prior to accepting such offer, Landlord shall
deliver to Tenant written notice of the terms offered by such third party (the
"Third Party Buyer"). If Landlord shall notify Tenant that the Third Party Buyer
has offered to purchase the Building for a price more than seven percent (7%)
below the lowest price offered by Landlord to Tenant during the Negotiation
Period, as determined on a cash-equivalent basis, then Tenant shall have the
right, within fifteen (15) business days of such notice from Landlord, to
deliver to Landlord written notice that it elects to purchase the Building on
the exact terms proposed by such Third Party Buyer, in which case, Tenant and
Landlord shall execute a mutually binding purchase and sale agreement evidencing
such terms within thirty (30) days of Landlord's receipt of such election by
Tenant, and Landlord and Tenant shall consummate such purchase and sale
transaction in accordance with the terms of such agreement. If Tenant shall not
timely deliver such notice of election, Landlord shall be free thereafter to
sell the Building to such Third Party Buyer.
(d) In the event of any dispute with regard to the
determination of whether any offer by the Third Party Buyer falls more than
seven percent (7%) below the lowest offer made by Landlord to Tenant during the
Negotiation Period (each such offer being determined on a cash-equivalent
basis), Landlord and Tenant mutually shall designate one of the following
so-called "Big Six" accounting firms, which firm shall not then be, or have been
previously at any time during the immediately preceding five (5) year period,
engaged by either party in any capacity, to make such evaluation, which
evaluation shall be final and binding upon Landlord and Tenant: Price
Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Xxxxx, Coopers & Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP, Deloitte &
Touche and KPMG Peat Marwick LLP. If none of the foregoing firms shall be duly
qualified, or if Landlord and Tenant shall fail to agree on a firm within three
(3) business days of written notification by the contesting party of the subject
dispute, the dispute shall be resolved by such independent certified public
accounting firm of national reputation as selected by the then presiding
President of the Bar Association of San Francisco, upon the written request of
either party. The accounting firm selected pursuant to the terms hereof shall
make its final determination within ten (10) business days of its retention.
(e) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, subject
only to the immediately following sentence, at Landlord's sole option, any
exercise of the First Right of Purchase shall not be effective in the event that
either (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under this
Lease on the date Landlord would have delivered the Right of Purchase Notice,
but for the existence such Event of Default, or (ii) an Event of Default shall
occur at any time after the date Landlord delivers the Right of Purchase Notice.
In either of such events, at Landlord's sole option, Landlord shall have the
right to sell the Building or any interest therein on any terms and conditions
acceptable to Landlord, provided that, in the event of clause (i) only, Landlord
shall have provided Tenant with written notice (A) stating that such Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, (B) containing such information as set
forth in a Right of Purchase Notice and (C) providing that Tenant's First Right
of Purchase shall thereafter terminate unless Tenant shall cure such outstanding
Event of Default within ten (10) days (the "Right of Purchase Default Notice").
In the event that Tenant fails to cure such Event of Default within such ten
(10) day period, Tenant's First Right of Purchase shall terminate, and Landlord
shall be free thereafter to sell the Building or such interest therein described
in the Right of Purchase Notice upon any terms and conditions acceptable to
Landlord. In the event that Tenant shall cure such Event of Default within such
ten (10) day period, Tenant shall have until the fifteenth (15th) business day
from the date of the Right of Purchase Default Notice to deliver to Landlord the
Election to Negotiate in accordance with the terms of Section 38(a). If Tenant
shall reject the Right of Purchase Default Notice or shall fail to timely
deliver the Election to Negotiate within the relevant fifteen (15) business day
period, Tenant shall be deemed to have elected not to negotiate for the purchase
of the Building or such other interest, and Landlord shall be free thereafter to
sell the Building or such interest therein described in the Right of Purchase
Notice upon any terms and conditions acceptable to Landlord. Notwithstanding any
of the foregoing, Tenant shall have no First Right of Purchase pursuant to this
Section 38(e), and Landlord shall have no obligation to deliver a Right of
Purchase Default Notice, in the event that pursuant to the occurrence of an
Event of Default Landlord shall have given Tenant a Termination Notice in
accordance with Section 18 hereof.
(f) Except as specifically set forth herein, Tenant's First
Right of Purchase hereunder shall be a one-time right.
(g) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, Tenant's First Right
of Purchase hereunder shall not arise upon, and Tenant shall have no right to
exercise the First Right of Purchase with respect to, (i) any Booth Family
Transfer, (ii) any transfer of the Premises to the Landlord's Lender or to any
affiliate of Landlord's Lender through foreclosure proceedings or deed-in-lieu
of foreclosure and (iii) any transfer of the Premises to a third party
immediately succeeding a transfer described in the immediately preceding clause
(ii).
(h) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, Tenant's First Right
of Purchase hereunder shall apply only in the event of a disposition involving
solely all or a portion of the Building or any interest therein, and Tenant's
First Right of Purchase hereunder shall not arise, and Tenant shall have no
right to exercise the First Right of Purchase, in the event that any interest in
any other building owned by Landlord is included together with the interest in
the Building in a single sale to a single purchaser.
39. Building Security.
(a) Tenant shall be permitted to install, maintain and
operate, so long as Tenant occupies the entirety of the Premises as tenant under
this Lease, at its sole cost and expense, card readers, turnstiles, closed
circuit television or other security devices and wiring related thereto in the
main lobby of the Building to control entry to and exit from the Premises, all
without charge by Landlord. In addition, Tenant may, at its own expense,
install, maintain and operate its own card key, closed circuit television and
other security systems and wiring related thereto in the Premises and in the
elevators serving the Premises, all without charge by Landlord. Landlord shall
not be responsible for monitoring any such systems. At all times that Landlord
and its other permitted users shall park in the Garage or use the maintenance
shop in the Garage during the Term, Landlord shall comply and cause its
permitted users to comply with Tenant's reasonable security arrangements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord and its permitted users shall have
reasonable access to the portion of the Garage not included in the Premises
seven (7) days per week, twenty-four (24) hours per day, subject to Tenant's
reasonable security requirements.
(b) Each party and its security personnel shall cooperate with
the other party and its security personnel in implementing the parties'
respective security requirements within or about the Building. Landlord's and
Tenant's security personnel shall communicate from time to time with respect to
security issues and give each to the other such notices as may be necessary or
appropriate from time to time, or at any time, under the circumstances with
respect to emergencies and other security-related matters as soon as possible
after the occurrence thereof.
(c) If at any time during the Term, the Building and the
building known by the address 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx ("000 Xxxx Xxxxxx") are not both
owned or managed by an entity controlled by any member or members of the Booth
Family, then Tenant may at any time lock or seal the doorway between the
Building and 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx.
40. Signage.
(a) Landlord agrees that Tenant's signage rights (the "Major
Signage Rights") shall include the following: exclusive signage rights in the
main lobby of the Building, as well as exclusive monument signage in the plaza
adjacent to the Building and within the property line of the Building, with the
exact location and type of signage to be mutually and reasonably agreed to by
the parties hereto. In addition, Tenant shall have the exclusive right, at its
option, to name the Building "The Xxxxxx Building" or another similar name,
using prominent exterior building signage on the faces of the Building and on
the roof thereof and to install an electro-lux (lighted stock market ticker) in
the main lobby of the Building. Tenant's foregoing signage rights shall be
subject only to compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, ordinances,
rules or requirements now in force or which may hereafter be in force,
including, without limitation, obtaining all necessary permits and approvals
from the City and County of San Francisco. Landlord shall cooperate reasonably
with and assist Tenant in securing any and all such necessary permits and
approvals. All costs incurred with respect to Tenant's signage, including,
without limitation, all costs of design, fabrication, installation and removal
thereof, and of obtaining approval therefor, shall be paid solely by Tenant, and
Tenant hereby indemnifies, defends and holds Landlord, harmless from any and all
costs, damages, liabilities and losses incurred in connection with such signage,
including, without limitation, in connection with the use, maintenance,
installation and removal thereof. Tenant shall not be charged any rent or
additional fee by Landlord for the signage rights provided herein, provided that
the market value of Tenant's signage shall be considered in determining the
Prevailing Market Rent for the Premises applicable during any Extension Period.
If Tenant changes its trade name to a name other than Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, or if
Tenant shall assign this Lease, Tenant may change the Building signs and any
other signs installed by Tenant to reflect its name, and if Tenant determines to
change the type-face and style of such sign (in addition to the name), such
change in typeface and style shall be subject to Landlord's approval (which
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
(b) In the event that Tenant exercises any Extension Option
with respect to either floors two through eight of the Building or floors two
through nine of the Building, Tenant shall retain the Major Signage Rights
during the relevant Extension Period.
(c) Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, remove all of
its signage upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease and repair
any and all damage caused by such removal.
(d) Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 40, no sign,
placard, picture, advertisement, name or notice shall be inscribed, displayed,
printed or affixed on or to any part of the outside or inside (if visible from
the outside) of the Building without the written consent of Landlord first had
and obtained, and Landlord shall have the right to remove any such sign,
placard, picture, advertisement, name or notice, without notice to and at the
expense of Tenant, if Tenant fails to promptly remove such sign or the like upon
notice from Landlord to do so.
41. Satellite Dish.
Landlord shall permit Tenant to install one or more
communications satellite dishes in an area of approximately one hundred (100)
square feet located on the roof of the Penthouse of the Building in such
location as (a) shall be available for such installation at the time of
Landlord's receipt of a written request from Tenant for the designation of such
area, (b) shall be designated by Landlord, subject to Tenant's reasonable
approval, and (c) shall not interfere with the transmission of any other
communications devices located prior thereto on the roof of the Building by
Landlord or any third parties leasing space from Landlord. No rent or Additional
Charges shall be payable by Tenant or charged by Landlord for the placement or
use of the dish or dishes. Tenant shall be granted reasonable access to the roof
of the Building to the extent reasonably necessary to enable Tenant to install,
maintain, repair and operate the dish or dishes, and Tenant shall have the
right, subject to Landlord's prior written approval (not to be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned), to run wires between the roof and the
Premises in appropriate locations and through conduits in the Building. The
physical specifications and manner of installation of any such satellite dishes
shall be subject to Landlord's prior written approval, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant hereby indemnifies,
defends and holds Landlord harmless from any and all costs, damages, liabilities
and losses incurred in connection with any such satellite dishes, including,
without limitation, in connection with the use, maintenance, installation and
removal thereof and access thereto.
