Provided that Subtenant is not otherwise in default under this Sublease beyond any applicable cure period, Sublandlord hereby agrees to xxxxx the basic rent for the first 4 months of the Term beginning on the Commencement Date and ending on the date that is 4 months following the Commencement Date. In addition, provided that Subtenant is not otherwise in default under this Sublease beyond any applicable cure period, monthly basic rent payments for the following months will also be abated: April 2017, April 2018, April 2019 and April 2020. For the avoidance of doubt, only payments of basic rent and not payments of additional rent or other amounts payable by Subtenant under this Sublease may be abated in accordance with the foregoing sentence.
Rent shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America in advance on the first day of each calendar month, except that a proportionately lesser sum may be paid for the first and last months of the Term of this Sublease if the Term commences on a date other than the first day of the month or ends on other than the last day of a month.

(b)In addition to the basic rent set forth in subparagraph 7(a) above, Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord (as and when due under the terms of the Prime Lease), as additional rent, Subtenant’s proportionate share of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses pursuant to Section 5.2 of the Prime Lease and Subtenant’s proportionate share of Tenant’s Tax Share pursuant to Section 5.6 of the Prime Lease. Subtenant’s proportionate share of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Tenant’s Tax Share shall be 21.25%. Accordingly, for each year, Subtenant shall be responsible for paying to Sublandlord an amount equal to 21.25% of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Tenant’s Tax Share payable under Sections 5.2 and 5.6 of the Prime Lease. The estimated annual amount of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Tenant’s Tax Share for 2015 is $3,418,987, resulting in a monthly payment by Sublandlord of $284,916. Accordingly, by way of illustration, the monthly amount of Subtenant’s portion of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Tenant’s Tax Share for 2015 would be $60,544.56.

If any portion of said deposit is so used or applied, Subtenant shall, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, deposit cash with Sublandlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount, and Subtenant's failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Sublease.

Subtenant shall not make any alterations, improvements or installations in or to the Subleased Premises without the prior written consent of Sublandlord, which Sublandlord will not unreasonably
withhold, condition or delay (subject to Prime Landlord’s approval rights). All alterations and improvements shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Prime Lease, and in those instances, if required, shall be subject to the Prime Landlord's approval in the manner provided in the Prime Lease. Any alterations, improvements or installations consented to by Sublandlord shall be made at the sole cost and expense of Subtenant. Upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Sublease, Subtenant shall not be required to restore the Subleased Premises to the condition as was originally delivered by Sublandlord to Subtenant, but Subtenant may be required to restore the Subleased Premises to the condition existing immediately after Subtenant’s completion of the Subtenant Improvements which will require the removal of Subtenant’s alterations made after completion of the Subtenant Improvements, at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, unless Prime Landlord agrees that no restoration is required.
14. | REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE |
Any repair and maintenance obligations with respect to the Subleased Premises which are the responsibility of the Sublandlord, as tenant under the Prime Lease, shall be performed bySubtenant at Subtenant's sole cost and expense. Subtenant agrees that it will notify Sublandlord promptly of the need for any repair to the Subleased Premises, even if Sublandlord is not responsible for any such repair. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event that a condition exists in the Subleased Premises that Prime Landlord is obligated to repair under the terms of the Prime Lease, Subtenant shall so advise Sublandlord, and Sublandlord, in turn, shall promptly advise Prime Landlord thereof. Sublandlord shall have no liability to Subtenant for Prime Landlord's failure to make any such repair.
15. | UTILITIES AND SERVICES |
Subtenant shall be entitled to all those services and utilities which Prime Landlord is required to provide under the terms of the Prime Lease or otherwise provides to or for other tenants of the Building. Subtenant shall reimburse Sublandlord, within 15 business days following Subtenant’s receipt of an invoice for any excess or abnormal amounts of electricity or other utilities or services consumed by Subtenant and the cost of all after-hours HVAC usage. Sublandlord shall use reasonable efforts to enforce the provisions of the Prime Lease with regard to Prime Landlord’s obligations to provide services and utilities to the Subleased Premises and common areas of the Building to the extent required of the Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease. Sublandlord shall not be responsible for Prime Landlord's failure to provide the same nor shall any such failure constitute an abrogation of any other terms or conditions of this Sublease, but Subtenant shall be entitled to an abatement of Rent hereunder to the same extent that Sublandlord is entitled to Rent abatement under Section 6.7 of the Prime Lease. To the extent that Prime Landlord charges Sublandlord for any increases in the cost of such services or utilities and such charge or increase is due solely to Subtenant's use of the Subleased Premises or such utilities or services, Subtenant agrees to pay the charges therefore promptly upon receipt of Sublandlord's xxxx.
16. | ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASING |
(a)Subtenant shall not have the right to assign this Sublease or sublet the Subleased Premises, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Sublandlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and Prime Landlord if required under the Prime Lease. The consent by Sublandlord to any assignment or to any sublease or occupancy of the Subleased Premises by any other party than Subtenant, or any part thereof, shall not be deemed to relieve or release (i) Subtenant from the full performance and observance by Subtenant of all of its obligations under this Sublease, or (ii) Subtenant or any assignee or sublessee of Subtenant from the obligation of obtaining the consent in writing of Sublandlord and Prime Landlord to any further assignment, sublease or occupancy. Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord upon demand, (x) any cost, expense or fee of Prime Landlord charged to Sublandlord or to Subtenant which is required to be paid in connection with any assignment, subletting or occupancy pursuant to this Paragraph 16, and (y) any reasonable cost or expense of Sublandlord which is incurred by Sublandlord from non-related third parties in connection with any request for consent to any assignment, subletting or occupancy pursuant to this Paragraph, provided that the aggregate of such costs and expenses does not exceed $3,000.
(c)In the event that Subtenant shall desire Sublandlord’s consent to an assignment of this Sublease or to a subletting of all or any part of the Subleased Premises, Subtenant shall request such consent by submitting to Sublandlord a proposal setting forth the terms and conditions of the assignment or sublease and financial information with respect to the assignee or sublessee, and such other information as Sublandlord may reasonably require.
(d)In the event that Sublandlord and Prime Landlord shall grant their consent to subletting all or part of the Subleased Premises or an assignment of this Sublease, Subtenant shall, in consideration therefore, promptly pay to Sublandlord as additional rent, as and when received by Subtenant, the amounts that would be due under Section 18.4 of the Prime Lease provided that in addition to the specific costs that are deductible from rent under the sublease or assignment pursuant to Section 18.4 of the Prime Lease, Subtenant shall also be entitled to deduct its legal fees, marketing expenses and any other costs or expenses that are directly related to the subletting or assignment.
(e)If this Sublease shall be assigned or if the Subleased Premises, or any part thereof, shall be sublet or occupied by any person or persons other than Subtenant, whether or not such assignment, sublet or occupancy was made with the consent of Sublandlord, Sublandlord may after default by Subtenant, collect rent from the assignee, subtenant or occupant and apply the net amount collected to the rent herein reserved, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection of rent shall be deemed a waiver of any of the covenants, terms or provisions contained in this Section, nor shall it be deemed an acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as subtenant hereunder, or a release or Subtenant from the full performance and observance by Subtenant of all of the covenants and obligations contained in this Sublease on the part of Subtenant to be performed or observed.
17. | INSURANCE |
Subtenant agrees to comply with all of the insurance requirements and obligations of Sublandlord as set forth in the Prime Lease and to name both Sublandlord and Prime Landlord as
additional insureds on any required insurance policies. With respect to the release of claims and waiver of subrogation contained in Section 13.4 of the Prime Lease, such release and waiver shall be deemed to be modified to constitute an agreement by and among Prime Landlord, Sublandlord and Subtenant to release claims and waive subrogation rights as provided therein (and Prime Landlord’s consent to this Sublease shall expressly confirm its approval of this modification).
18. | NON-BINDING MEDIATION |
(a)If a dispute arises out of or relates to this Sublease, or its breach, and the parties have not been successful in resolving such dispute through negotiation, the parties agree to attempt to resolve the dispute through non-binding mediation by submitting the dispute to a sole mediator selected by the parties or, at the option of a party, to mediation by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). If such dispute is not resolved by such non-binding mediation, the parties shall have the right to resort to any remedies permitted by law. All defenses based on passage of time shall be tolled during the mediation.
19.The direct expenses of the mediation, including the compensation and expenses of the mediator and the fees of the AAA, shall be borne equally by the parties. All other costs incurred by the parties to this Sublease, including the parties' legal expenses and their witnesses' expenses, shall be borne by the party incurring the expense. The parties, their representatives, other participants and the mediator shall hold the existence, content and result of the mediation in confidence.
20. | COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS |
(a)In addition to any obligations under the Prime Lease, Subtenant shall promptly comply with all statutes, ordinances, rules, orders, regulations and requirements of the Federal, State and municipal Governments and of any and all their Departments and Bureaus applicable to the use and occupancy of the Subleased Premises by Subtenant or any subtenant or assignee of Subtenant, for the correction, prevention and abatement of nuisances, violations or other grievances, in, upon or connected with the Subleased Premises during the Term or any renewal thereof, including without limitation all laws relating to environmental matters and the Americans with Disabilities Act, and shall also promptly comply with, and execute all rules, orders and regulations of the Board of Fire Underwriters for the prevention of fires (collectively referred to as “Legal Requirements”) at its own cost and expense, except if such non-compliance with such Legal Requirements pre-dates the Commencement Date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to be Sublandlord’s consent to the alteration, subletting or assignment of all or any portion of the Subleased Premises or of all or any of Subtenant's interests in this Sublease.
(b)If Subtenant shall fail or neglect to comply with the aforesaid Legal Requirements, or if Subtenant shall fail or neglect to make any repairs required by the terms of this Sublease, then Sublandlord or its agents may (but shall not be obligated to) enter the Subleased Premises and take such actions as necessary to cure the breach and comply with any and all of the said Legal Requirements, at the cost and expense of Subtenant; and, in case of Subtenant's failure to pay therefor, the said cost and expense shall be added to the next month's Rent and be due and payable as such.
21. | LIMITATIONS ON SUBLANDLORD'S LIABILITY |
(a)Subtenant acknowledges that Sublandlord has made no representations or warranties with respect to the Building or the Subleased Premises except as provided in this Sublease and Subtenant accepts the Subleased Premises in its “AS IS” condition.
(b)If Sublandlord assigns its leasehold estate in the Building, Sublandlord shall have no obligation to Subtenant arising after the date of such assignment. Subtenant shall then recognize Sublandlord's assignee as Sublandlord of this Sublease so long as Sublandlord’s assignee recognizes Subtenant as Subtenant of this Sublease.
(d)Except as specifically provided herein, Sublandlord shall not be required to perform any of the covenants and obligations of the Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease, and insofar as any of the obligations of the Sublandlord hereunder are required to be performed under the Prime Lease by the Prime Landlord thereunder, Subtenant shall rely on and look solely to the Prime Landlord for the performance thereof. If the Prime Landlord shall default in the performance of any of its obligations under the Prime Lease or breach any provision of the Prime Lease pertaining to the Subleased Premises, Subtenant shall have the right, at Subtenant's expense and upon prior notice to Sublandlord, and in the name of Sublandlord to make any demand or institute any action or proceeding, in accordance with and not contrary to any provision of the Prime Lease, against the Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease for the enforcement of the Prime Landlord's obligations thereunder. Subtenant shall defend, indemnify and hold Sublandlord harmless from and against any suit, action, cost, expense, damage or liability which arises out of or results from or is alleged to arise out of or result from Subtenant's exercise of its rights under this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise set forth in this Sublease, as between Subtenant and Sublandlord, Sublandlord shall be entitled to all of the rights, privileges and remedies of Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease as if Sublandlord were “Landlord” under the Prime Lease.
(e)Except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Sublandlord, its agents, contractors or employees, Subtenant shall indemnify Sublandlord, its owners, officers, agents and employees and save them harmless from and against all claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses in connection with loss of life, personal injury and/or damage to property caused by (i) the negligence or willful misconduct of the Subtenant, its agents, employees, contractors, invitees or licensees; or (ii) any failure on the part of Subtenant to perform its obligations under the Sublease.
(f)Except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Subtenant, its agents, contractors or employees, Sublandlord shall indemnify Subtenant, its owners, officers, agents and employees and save them harmless from and against all claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses in connection with loss of life, personal injury and/or damage to property caused by (i) the negligence or willful misconduct of the Sublandlord, its agents, employees, contractors, invitees or licensees; or (ii) any failure on the part of Sublandlord to perform its obligations under the Sublease.

23. | CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION |
If the Prime Lease is terminated with respect to the Subleased Premises pursuant to the provisions of the Prime Lease, this Sublease shall automatically terminate at the same time and Subtenant shall have no claim against Sublandlord or Prime Landlord for the loss of its subleasehold interest or any of Subtenant's property. If the Prime Lease is not terminated with respect to the Subleased Premises upon the occurrence of a casualty or condemnation, the provisions of the Prime Lease with respect to casualty or condemnation shall apply to this Sublease and the Subleased Premises.

If Subtenant holds over after the Termination Date or the earlier termination of the Term of this Sublease without the express written consent of Sublandlord, Subtenant shall become a tenant of sufferance only, at a rental rate determined as follows: (i) if such holdover does not cause Sublandlord to hold over under the Prime Lease, then such rental rate shall be 150% of the Rent payable to Sublandlord for the immediately preceding calendar month, and (ii) if such holdover causes Sublandlord to hold over under the Prime Lease, then such rental rate shall be 100% of all holdover rent that Sublandlord is required to pay to Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease. Nothing in this Sublease to the contrary shall limit Sublandlord’s remedies hereunder or Sublandlord’s right to recover damages from Subtenant accruing to Sublandlord as tenant under the Prime Lease, in the event Subtenant holds over in the Subleased Premises after the expiration of the Term of this Sublease.

40. | FORCE MAJEURE |
In the event Sublandlord or Subtenant shall be delayed, hindered or prevented from the performance of any act required hereunder, by reason of governmental restrictions, scarcity of labor or materials, delay in obtaining governmental approvals or permits, strikes, fire, or any other reasons beyond its reasonable control (“Force Majeure”), the performance of such act shall be excused for the period of delay, and the period for performance of any such act shall be extended as necessary to complete performance after the delay period.

The property shown on Exhibit A to this Lease and all improvements thereon and appurtenances on that land thereto, including, but not limited to, the Building, an additional office building ("the "Adjacent Building"), a cafeteria/auditorium/meeting room building (the "Amenities Facility"), access roadways, and all other related areas, shall be collectively hereinafter referred to as the "Project." The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that the purpose of Exhibit A and Exhibit B are to show the approximate location of the Premises in the Building and the general layout of the Project and such Exhibits are not meant to constitute an agreement, representation or warranty as to the construction of the Premises, the Buildings or the Project, the precise area of the Premises, the Project Buildings or the Project or the specific location of the Project Buildings, "Common Areas," as that term is defined in Section 1.3, below, or the elements thereof or of the accessways to the Premises, or the Project.
1.2 For purposes of this Lease, (1) "rentable area" and "usable area" shall be calculated pursuant to the Standard Method for Measuring Floor Area in Office Buildings (ANSJJBOMA Z65.1, 1996); (2) "rentable square feet" and "rentable footage" shall have the same meaning as the term "rentable area;" and (3) "usable square feet" and "usable square footage" shall have the same meaning as the term "usable area." Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, the recital of the rentable area herein above set forth is for descriptive purposes only.
Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease or receive any adjustment or rebate of any Base Rent or Additional Rent (as hereinafter defined) payable hereunder if said recital is incorrect. Tenant has inspected the Premises and is fully familiar with the scope and size thereof and agrees to pay the full Base Rent and Additional Rent set forth herein in consideration for the use and occupancy of said space, regardless of the actual number of square feet contained therein.
1.3 Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use in common with other tenants in the Project, and subject to the rules and regulations referred to in Article 27 of this Lease, those portions of the Project which are provided, from time to time, for use in common by Landlord, Tenant and any other tenants of the Project (such areas, together with such other portions of the Project designated by Landlord, in its discretion, including certain areas designated for the exclusive use of certain tenants, or to be shared by Landlord and certain tenants, are collectively referred to herein as the "Common Areas"). The Common Areas shall consist of the "Project Common Areas" and the "Building Common Areas." The term "Project Common Areas," as used in this Lease, shall mean the portion of the Project reasonably designated as such by Landlord. The term "Building Common Areas," as used in this Lease, shall mean the portions of the Common Areas located within the Building reasonably designated as such by Landlord. The manner in which the Common Areas are maintained and operated shall be at the reasonable discretion of Landlord and the use thereof shall be subject to such rules, regulations and restrictions as Landlord may make from time to time. Landlord reserves the right to close temporarily, make alterations or additions to, or change the location of elements of the Project and the Common Areas. Subject to "Applicable Laws," as that term is defined in Section 5.1(a) of this Lease, except when and where Tenant's right of access is specifically excluded in this Lease, and except in the event of an emergency, Tenant shall have the right of access to the Premises, the Building, and the parking facilities servicing the Building twenty four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week during the "Term," as that term is defined in Section 2.1, below. Use of the Amenities Facility shall be subject to such rules and regulations as Landlord may establish from time to time. The square footage of the Amenities Facility shall be included in the load factor to be used to determine the rentable area of the Project, but shall not be separately measured and added to the rentable area of the Project for any lease for space at the Project. The cost to maintain the Amenities Facility shall be included in Operating Expenses for the Project.
ARTICLE2.
TERM AND CONDITION OF PREMISES
2.1 The term of this Lease (the "Term") shall commence on the Commencement Date and end on the Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated (the "Termination Date") as hereinafter provided. The Commencement Date of this Lease and the obligation of Tenant to pay Base Rent, Additional Rent and all other charges hereunder shall not be delayed or postponed by reason of any delay by Tenant in performing changes or alteration in the Premises not required to be performed by Landlord.
2.2 Tenant acknowledges that Tenant will be in possession of a portion of the Premises prior to the Commencement Date pursuant to a sublease dated December 18, 2009 (the "Nortel Sublease") with Nortel Networks, Inc. Landlord shall deliver possession of the portion of
the Premises not covered b the Nortel Sublease, which is approximately 50% of the 2nd, 50% of the 3rd and 50% of the 4th floor of the Building (the "Partial Premises") no later than the Commencement Date. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has no obligation and has made no promise to alter, remodel, improve or repair the Premises, or any part thereof, or to repair, bring into compliance with applicable laws, or improve any condition existing in the Premises except as provided in Section 2.3, below. Any improvements or personal property located in the Premises are delivered without any representation or warranty from Landlord, either express or implied, of any kind, including without limitation title, merchantability or suitability for a particular purpose. The taking of possession of the Premises by Tenant shall be conclusive evidence that the Premises and the Building were in good and satisfactory condition at the time possession was taken by Tenant. Neither Landlord nor Landlord's agents have made any representations or promises with respect to the condition of the Building, the Premises, the land upon which the Building is constructed, or any other matter or thing affecting or related to the Building or the Premises, except as herein expressly set forth, and no rights, easements or licenses are acquired by Tenant by implication or otherwise except as expressly set forth in this Lease. If Landlord does not deliver possession of the portion of the Premises not covered by the Nortel Sublease to Tenant on or before the Commencement Date, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability nor shall the validity of this Lease nor the obligations of Tenant hereunder be affected. Landlord shall deliver the Partial Premises to Tenant "broom-clean" provided that Landlord shall have no obligation to remove the existing workstations or furniture in the Partial Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord fails to deliver any portion of the Partial Premises to Tenant by the Outside Delivery Date (as defined below), then Tenant shall be entitled to a rent credit equal to one day's Base Rent for the applicable portion of the Partial Premises not delivered for each one full day in the period from the Outside Delivery Date until the date upon which Landlord delivers possession of the applicable portion of the Partial Premises to Tenant. The term "Outside Delivery Date" initially means June 7, 2012, which shall be extended by one day for every one day of delay in delivery of the applicable portion of the Partial Premises caused by Tenant
2.3 By the date which is ninety (90) days after the Commencement Date (the "Surrender Date"), Tenant shall vacate and surrender the 6th floor in the same condition which Tenant is required to surrender the 6th floor at the end of the term of the Nortel Sublease pursuant to the Nortel Sublease, and Tenant's failure to do so shall be deemed a holdover with respect to the 6th floor and subject to the provisions of Article 31 below in connection therewith. In the event Landlord does not deliver the Partial Premises by the Outside Delivery Date, the Surrender Date shall be extended by one full day for each one full day in the period from the Outside Delivery Date until the date upon which Landlord delivers possession of the Partial Premises to Tenant.
2.4 Within six (6) months after the Surrender Date, Landlord, at Landlord's sole cost and expense, shall (a) demise the 6th floor of the Building so that it is separate from the Premises (including but not limited to installation of any required submeters at Landlord's cost and expense) and (b) perform work on the first floor to create a multi-tenant lobby area using building standard materials.. Landlord shall have the right to enter the Premises for purposes of performing such work and Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord to accommodate Landlord's contractor as necessary for the performance and completion of such work. Landlord shall use commercially
reasonable effort not to unreasonably interfere with the business of Tenant during the performance of such work.
ARTICLE3.
USE, NUISANCE, OR HAZARD
3.1 The Premises shall be used and occupied by Tenant solely for general office and lab purposes and for no other purposes without the prior written consent of Landlord.
3.2 Tenant shall not use, occupy, or permit the use or occupancy of the Premises for any purpose which Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, deems to be illegal, immoral, or dangerous; permit any public or private nuisance; do or permit any act or thing which may disturb the quiet enjoyment of any other tenant of the Project; keep any substance or carry on or permit any operation which might introduce offensive odors or conditions into other portions of the Project, use any apparatus which might make undue noise or set up vibrations in or about the Project; permit anything to be done which would increase the premiums paid by Landlord for fire and extended coverage insurance on the Project or its contents or cause a cancellation of any insurance policy covering the Project or any part thereof or any of its contents; or permit anything to be done which is prohibited by or which shall in any way conflict with any law, statute, ordinance, or governmental rule, regulation or covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting the Project, including without limitation the CC&R's (as defined below) now or hereinafter in force. Should Tenant do any of the foregoing without the prior written consent of Landlord, and the same is not cured within ten (10) business days after notice from Landlord (which ten (10) business day period shall be subject to extension if the nature of the breach is such that it is not possible to cure the same within such ten (10) business day period so long as the Tenant commences the cure of such breach within such ten (10) day period and diligently prosecutes the same to completion) it shall constitute an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) and shall enable Landlord to resort to any of its remedies hereunder.
3.3 The ownership, operation, maintenance and use of the Project shall be subject to certain conditions and restrictions contained in an instrument ("CC&R's") recorded or to be recorded against title to the Project. The current form of the CC&R's is attached to this Lease as Exhibit I. Tenant agrees that regardless of when those CC&R's are so recorded, this Lease and all provisions hereof shall be subject and subordinate thereto. Accordingly, as a consequence of that subordination, during any period in which the entire Project is not owned by Landlord, (a) the portion of Operating Expenses and Taxes (each as defined below) for the Common Areas shall be allocated among the owners of the Project as provided in the CC&R's, and (b) the CC&R's shall govern the maintenance and insuring of the portions of the Project not owned by Landlord. Tenant shall, promptly upon request of Landlord, sign all documents reasonably required to carry out the foregoing into effect.
ARTICLE4.
RENT
4.1 Tenant hereby agrees to pay Landlord the Base Rent. For purposes of Rent adjustment under the Lease, the number of months is measured from the first day of the calendar month in which the Commencement Date falls. Each monthly installment (the "Monthly Rent") shall be payable by check or by money order on or before the first day of each calendar month. In addition to the Base Rent, Tenant also agrees to pay Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses and Taxes (each as hereinafter defined), and any and all other sums of money as shall become due and payable by Tenant as hereinafter set forth, all of which shall constitute additional rent under this Lease (the "Additional Rent"). Landlord expressly reserves the right to apply any payment received to Base Rent or any other items of Rent that are not paid by Tenant. The Monthly Rent and the Additional Rent are sometimes hereinafter collectively called "Rent" and shall be paid when due in lawful money of the United States without demand, deduction, abatement, or offset to the addresses for the rental payment set forth in the Basic Lease Information, or as Landlord may designate from time to time.
4.2 In the event any Monthly or Additional Rent or other amount payable by Tenant hereunder is not paid within five (5) days after its due date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge (the "Late Charge"), as Additional Rent, in an amount of five percent (5%) of the amount of such late payment. Failure to pay any Late Charge shall be deemed a Monetary Default (as hereinafter defined). Provision for the Late Charge shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Landlord hereunder, at law or in equity, and shall not be construed as liquidated damages or limiting Landlord's remedies in any manner. Failure to charge or collect such Late Charge in connection with any one (1) or more such late payments shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord's right to charge and collect such Late Charges in connection with any other similar or like late payments.
4.3 Simultaneously with the execution hereof, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the Rent Payable on Execution as payment of the first installment of Monthly Rent due hereunder.
4.4 If the Term commences on a date other than the first day of a calendar month or expires or terminates on a date other than the last day of a calendar month, the Rent for any such partial month shall be prorated to the actual number of days in such partial month.
4.5 All Rents and any other amount payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, if not paid when due pursuant to Section 4.2 above, shall bear interest from the date due until paid at a rate equal to the prime commercial rate established from time to time by Bank of America, plus four percent (4%) per annum; but not in excess of the maximum legal rate permitted by law. Failure to charge or collect such interest in connection with any one (1) or more delinquent payments shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord's right to charge and collect such interest in connection with any other or similar or like delinquent payments.
4.6 If Tenant fails to make when due two (2) consecutive payments of Monthly Rent or makes two (2) consecutive payments of Monthly Rent which are returned to Landlord by Tenant's financial institution for insufficient funds, Landlord may require, by giving written notice
to Tenant, that all future payments of Rent shall be made in cashier's check or by money order. The foregoing is in addition to any other remedy of Landlord hereunder, at law or in equity.

"Tenant's Share" shall be determined by multiplying Operating Expenses applicable to each category of Tenant's Share Percentage for any Lease Year or pro rata portion thereof, by the applicable Tenant's Share Percentage. Landlord shall, in advance of each Lease Year, estimate what Tenant's Share will be for each category for such Lease Year based, in part, on Landlord's operating budget for such Lease Year, and Tenant shall pay Tenant's Share as so estimated each month (the "Monthly Escalation Payments"). The Monthly Escalation Payments shall be due and payable at the same time and in the same manner as the Monthly Rent. Landlord shall not include an Operating Expense in more than one category of Tenant's Share Percentage.
5.3 Landlord shall, within one hundred fifty (150) days after the end of each Lease Year, or as soon thereafter as reasonably possible, provide Tenant with a written statement of the actual Operating Expenses incurred during such Lease Year for the Project and such statement shall set forth Tenant's Share of such Operating Expenses. Tenant shall pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, the difference between Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses and the amount of Monthly Escalation Payments made by Tenant attributable to said Lease Year, such payment to be made within thirty (30) days of the date of Tenant's receipt of said statement (except as provided in Section 5.4 below); similarly, Tenant shall receive a credit if Tenant's Share is less than the amount of Monthly Escalation Payments collected by Landlord during said Lease Year, such credit to be applied to future Monthly Escalation Payments to become due hereunder. If utilities, janitorial services or any other components of Operating Expenses increase during any Lease Year, Landlord may revise Monthly Escalation Payments due during such Lease Year by giving Tenant written notice to that effect; and thereafter, Tenant shall pay, in each of the remaining months of such Lease Year, a sum equal to the amount of the revised difference in Operating Expenses multiplied by Tenant's Building Percentage divided by the number of months remaining in such Lease Year.
5.4 If, within sixty (60) days following Tenant's receipt of the Operating Expense statement or Taxes statement, neither party hereto delivers to the other party a notice referring in reasonable detail to one (1) or more errors in such statement, it shall be deemed conclusively that the information set forth in such statement(s) is correct. Tenant shall, however, be entitled to conduct or require an audit to be conducted, provided that (a) not more than one (1) such audit may be conducted during any Lease Year of the Term, (b) the records for each Lease Year may be audited only once, (c) such audit is commenced within sixty (60) days following Tenant's receipt of the applicable statement, and (d) such audit is completed and a copy thereof is delivered to Landlord within one hundred eighty (180) days following Tenant's receipt of the applicable statement. If Landlord responds to any such audit with an explanation of any issues raised in the audit, such issues shall be deemed resolved unless Tenant responds to Landlord with further written objections within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord's response to the audit. In no event shall payment of Rent ever be contingent upon the performance of such audit. For purposes of any audit, Tenant or Tenant's duly authorized representative, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, shall have the right, upon fifteen (15) days' written notice to Landlord, to inspect Landlord's books and records pertaining to Operating Expenses and Taxes at the offices of Landlord or Landlord's managing agent during ordinary business hours, provided that such audit must be conducted so as not to interfere with Landlord's business operations and must be reasonable as to scope and time. Alternatively, at Landlord's sole discretion, Landlord may provide an audit of such books and records prepared by a certified public accountant of Landlord's selection, prepared at Tenant's expense, which shall be deemed to be conclusive for the purposes of this Lease. If actual Operating Expenses or Taxes are determined to have been overstated or understated by Landlord for any calendar year, then the parties shall within thirty (30) days thereafter make such adjustment payment or refund as is applicable, and if actual Operating Expenses and Taxes are determined to have been overstated by Landlord for any calendar year by in excess of five percent (5%), then Landlord shall pay the actual and reasonable cost of Tenant's audit, not to exceed $5,000.00.
5.5 If the occupancy of the Building during any part of any Lease Year is less than one hundred percent (100%), Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment of the variable components of Operating Expenses for that Lease Year, as reasonably determined by Landlord using sound accounting and management principles, to determine the amount of Operating Expenses that would have been incurred had the Building been one hundred percent (100%) occupied. This amount shall be considered to have been the amount of Operating Expenses for that Lease Year. For purposes of this Section 5.5, "variable components" include only those component expenses that are affected by variations in occupancy levels.
5.6 Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, "Tenant's Tax Share" (as hereinafter defined) of the Taxes. "Tenant's Tax Share" shall be determined by multiplying Taxes for any Lease Year or pro rata portion thereof, by Tenant's Tax Percentage. Landlord shall, in advance of each Lease Year, estimate what Tenant's Tax Share will be for such Lease Year and Tenant shall pay Tenant's Tax Share as so estimated each month (the "Monthly Tax Payments"). The Monthly Tax Payments shall be due and payable at the same time and in the same manner as the Monthly Rent.
5.7 Landlord shall, within one hundred fifty (150) days after the end of each Lease Year, or as soon thereafter as reasonably possible, provide Tenant with a written statement of the actual Taxes incurred during such Lease Year for the tax parcel on which the Building is located and such statement shall set forth Tenant's Tax Share of such Taxes. Tenant shall pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, the difference between Tenant's Tax Share of any increases in Taxes and the amount of Monthly Tax Payments made by Tenant attributable to said Lease Year, such payment to be made within thirty (30) days of the date of Tenant's receipt of said statement; similarly, Tenant shall receive a credit if Tenant's Tax Share is less than the amount of Monthly Tax Payments collected by Landlord during said Lease Year, such credit to be applied to future Monthly Tax Payments to become due hereunder. If Taxes increase during any Lease Year, Landlord may revise Monthly Tax Payments due during such Lease Year by giving Tenant written notice to that effect; and, thereafter, Tenant shall pay, in each of the remaining months of such Lease Year, a sum equal to the amount of revised difference in Taxes multiplied by Tenant's Tax Percentage divided by the number of months remaining in such Lease Year.
5.8 If the Taxes for any Lease Year are changed as a result of protest, appeal or other action taken by a taxing authority, the Taxes as so changed shall be deemed the Taxes for such Lease Year. Any expenses incurred by Landlord in attempting to protest, reduce or minimize Taxes shall be included in Taxes in the Lease Year in which those expenses are paid. Landlord shall have the exclusive right to conduct such contests, protests and appeals of the Taxes as Landlord shall determine is appropriate in Landlord's sole discretion.
5.9 Tenant's obligation with respect to Additional Rent and the payment of Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses and Tenant's Tax Share of Taxes shall survive the Expiration Date or Termination Date of this Lease and Landlord shall have the right to retain the Security Deposit, or so much thereof as it deems necessary, to secure payment of Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses and Tenant's Tax Share of Taxes for the final year of the Lease, or part thereof, during which Tenant was obligated to pay such expenses.
ARTICLE6.

6.6 At all times during the Term Landlord shall have the right to select the utility company or companies that shall provide electric, telecommunication and/or other utility services to the Premises and, subject to all Applicable Requirements, Landlord shall have the right at any time and from time to time during the Term to either (a) contract for services from electric, telecommunication and/or other utility service provider(s) other than the provider with which Landlord has a contract as of the date of this Lease (the "Current Provider"), or (b) continue to contract for services from the Current Provider. The cost of such utility services and any energy management and procurements services in connection therewith shall be Operating Expenses.
6.7 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.2 or elsewhere in this Lease, if (a) Landlord fails to provide Tenant with the electrical service or elevator service described in Section 6.1, (b) such failure is not due to any one or more Force Majeure Events, to Tenant's default, or to an event covered by Article 19, (c) Tenant has given Landlord reasonably prompt
written notice of such failure, and (d) as a result of such failure all or any part of the Premises are rendered untenantable (and, as a result, all or such part of the Premises are not used by Tenant during the applicable period) for more than five (5) consecutive business days, then Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of Rent proportional to the extent to which the Premises are thereby rendered unusable by Tenant, commencing with the later of (i) the sixth business day during which such untenantability continues or (ii) the sixth business day after Landlord receives such notice from Tenant, until the Premises (or part thereof affected) are again usable or until Tenant again uses the Premises (or part thereof rendered unusable) in its business, whichever first occurs. The foregoing rental abatement shall be Tenant's exclusive remedy therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Article 19 below and not the provisions of this subsection shall govern in the event of casualty damage to the Premises or Project and the provisions of Article 20 below and not the provisions of this subsection shall govern in the event of condemnation of all or a part of the Premises or Project.

TENANT'S EQUIPMENT AND INSTALLATIONS
9.1 If heat-generating machines or equipment, including telephone equipment, cause the temperature in the Premises, or any part thereof, to exceed the temperatures the Building's air conditioning system would be able to maintain in such Premises were it not for such heat-generating equipment, then Landlord reserves the right to install supplementary air conditioning units in the Premises at Tenant's sole cost and expenses; provided Tenant may, subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, including without limitation Article 15, install supplemental air conditioning units in the Premises to address such issue.

ARTICLE 13.
INSURANCE
INSURANCE
13.1 Landlord shall maintain, as a part of Operating Expenses, special causes of loss form insurance on the Project in an amount equal to the full replacement cost of the Project, subject to such deductibles as Landlord may determine. Landlord shall not be obligated to insure, and shall not assume any liability of risk of loss for, any of Tenant's furniture, equipment, machinery, goods, supplies, improvements or alterations upon the Premises. Such insurance shall be maintained with an insurance company selected, and in amounts desired, by Landlord or Landlord's mortgagee, and payment for losses thereunder shall be made solely to Landlord subject to the rights of the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust which may now or hereafter encumber the Project. Additionally Landlord may maintain such additional insurance, including, without limitation, earthquake insurance, flood insurance, liability insurance and/or rent insurance, as Landlord may in its sole discretion elect. The cost of all such additional insurance shall also be part of the Operating Expenses. Any or all of Landlord's insurance may be provided by blanket coverage maintained by Landlord or any affiliate of Landlord under its insurance program for its portfolio of properties or by Landlord or any affiliate of Landlord's program of self insurance, and in such event Operating
Expenses shall include the portion of the reasonable cost of blanket insurance or self-insurance that is allocated to the Project.
13.2 Tenant, at its own expense, shall maintain with insurers authorized to do business in the State of California and which are rated A- and have a financial size category of at least VIII in the most recent Best's Key Rating Guide, or any successor thereto (or if there is none, an organization having a national reputation), (a) commercial general liability insurance with the following minimum limits: General Aggregate $3,000,000.00; Products/Completed Operations Aggregate $2,000,000.00; Each Occurrence $2,000,000.00; Personal and Advertising Injury $1,000,000.00; Medical Payments $5,000.00 per person, (b) Umbrella/Excess Liability on a following form basis with the following minimum limits: General Aggregate $5,000,000.00; Each Occurrence $5,000,000.00; (c) Workers' Compensation with statutory limits; (d) Employer's Liability insurance with the following limits: Bodily injury by disease per person $1,000,000.00; Bodily injury by accident policy limit $1,000,000.00; Bodily injury by disease policy limit $1,000,000.00; (e) property insurance on special causes of loss insurance form covering any and all personal property of Tenant including but not limited to alterations, improvements (inclusive of the initial improvements (if any) constructed pursuant to Exhibit C), betterments, furniture, fixtures and equipment in an amount not less than their full replacement cost, with a deductible not to exceed $500,000.00; and (t) business auto liability insurance having a combined single limit of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence and insuring Tenant against liability for claims arising out of ownership, maintenance or use of any owned, hired or non-owned automobiles. At all times during the Term, such insurance shall be maintained, and Tenant shall cause a current and valid certificate of such policies to be deposited with Landlord. If Tenant fails to have a current and valid certificate of such policies on deposit with Landlord at all times during the Term and such failure is not cured within three (3) business days following Tenant's receipt of notice thereof from Landlord, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to obtain such an insurance policy, and Tenant shall be obligated to pay Landlord the amount of the premiums applicable to such insurance within ten (10) days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's request for payment thereof. Said policy of liability insurance shall name Landlord and Landlord's managing agent as additional insureds and Tenant as the insured and shall be noncancellable with respect to Landlord except after thirty (30) days' written notice from the insurer to Landlord.
13.3 Tenant shall adjust annually the amount of coverage established in Section 13.2 hereof to such amount as in Landlord's reasonable opinion, adequately protects Landlord's interest; provided the same is consistent with the amount of coverage customarily required of comparable tenants in Comparable Buildings.
13.4 Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord and Tenant each hereby waives any and all rights of recovery, claim, action, or cause of action against the other, its agents, employees, licensees, or invitees for any loss or damage to or at the Premises or the Project or any personal property of such party therein or thereon by reason of fire, the elements, or any other cause which would be insured against under the terms of (i) fire and extended coverage insurance, or (ii) the liability insurance referred to in Section 13.2, to the extent of such insurance, regardless of cause or origin, including omission of the other party hereto, its agents, employees, licensees, or invitees. Landlord and Tenant covenant that no insurer shall hold any right of subrogation against either of such parties with respect thereto. This waiver shall be ineffective
against any insurer of Landlord or Tenant to the extent that such waiver is prohibited by the laws and insurance regulations of the State of California. The parties hereto agree that any and all such insurance policies required to be carried by either shall be endorsed with a subrogation clause, substantially as follows: "This insurance shall not be invalidated should the insured waive, in writing prior to a loss, any and all right of recovery against any party for loss occurring to the property described therein, " and shall provide that such party's insurer waives any right of recovery against the other party in connection with any such loss or damage.
13.5 In the event Tenant's occupancy or conduct of business in or on the Premises, whether or not Landlord has consented to the same, results in any increase in premiums for the insurance carried from time to time by Landlord with respect to the Building, Tenant shall pay any such increase in premiums as Rent within ten (10) days after bills for such additional premiums shall be rendered by Landlord. In determining whether increased premiums are a result of Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises, a schedule issued by the organization computing the insurance rate on the Building showing the various components of such rate, shall be conclusive evidence of the several items and charges which make up such rate. Tenant shall promptly comply with all reasonable requirements of the insurance authority or of any insurer now or hereafter in effect relating to the Premises.
ARTICLE 14.
QUIET ENJOYMENT
QUIET ENJOYMENT
14.1 Provided Tenant is not in default under this Lease after the expiration of any period for cure in the performance of all its obligations under this Lease, including, but not limited to, the payment of Rent and all other sums due hereunder, Tenant shall peaceably and quietly hold and enjoy the Premises for the Term, without hindrance by Landlord, subject to the provisions and conditions set forth in this Lease.
ARTICLE 15.
ALTERATIONS
ALTERATIONS
15.1 Tenant agrees that it shall not make or allow to be made any alterations, physical additions, or improvements in or to the Premises without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord in each instance. As used herein, the term "Minor Alteration" refers to an alteration that (a) does not affect the outside appearance of the Building and is not visible from the Common Areas, (b) is non-structural and does not impair the strength or structural integrity of the Building, and (c) does not affect the mechanical, electrical, HVAC or other systems of the Building. Landlord agrees not to unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to any Minor Alterations, but shall have the right to withhold and condition its consent to any other form of alterations in Landlord sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord consents to any repainting, recarpeting, or other purely cosmetic changes or upgrades to the Premises, so long as (i) the aggregate cost of such work is less than $10,000 in any twelve-month period, (ii) such work constitutes a Minor Alteration (iii) no building permit is required in connection therewith, and (iv) such work conforms to the then existing Building standards. At the time of said request, Tenant shall submit to Landlord plans and specifications of the proposed alterations, additions, or improvements; and Landlord shall have a period of not less than twenty (20) days therefrom in which to review and approve
or disapprove said plans; provided that if Landlord determines in good faith that Landlord requires a third party to assist in reviewing such plans and specifications, Landlord shall instead have a period of not less than forty-five (45) days in which to review and approve or disapprove said plans. Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand third party cost and expense incurred by Landlord in (A) reviewing said plans and specifications, and (B) inspecting the alterations, additions, or improvements to determine whether the same are being performed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications and all laws and requirements of public authorities, including, without limitation, the actual reasonable fees of any architect or engineer employed by Landlord for such purpose. In any instance where Landlord grants such consent, and permits Tenant to use its own contractors, laborers, materialmen, and others furnishing labor or materials for Tenant's construction (collectively, "Tenant's Contractors"), Landlord's consent shall be deemed conditioned upon each of Tenant's Contractors (1) not interfering with any laborer utilized by Landlord, Landlord's contractors, laborers, or materialmen; and (2) furnishing Landlord with evidence of acceptable liability insurance, worker's compensation coverage and if required by Landlord, completion bonding, and if at any time such entry by one or more persons furnishing labor or materials for Tenant's work shall cause such interference, the consent granted by Landlord to Tenant may be withdrawn immediately upon written notice from Landlord to Tenant. Tenant, at its expense, shall obtain all necessary governmental permits and certificates for the commencement and prosecution of alterations, additions, or improvements and for final approval thereof upon completion, and shall cause any alterations, additions, or improvements to be performed in compliance therewith and with all applicable laws and requirements of public authorities and with all applicable requirements of insurance bodies. All alterations, additions, or improvements shall be diligently performed in a good and workmanlike manner, using new materials and equipment at least equal in quality and class to be better than (a) the original installations of the Building, or (b) the then standards for the Comparable Building. Upon the completion of work and upon request by Landlord, Tenant shall provide Landlord copies of all waivers or releases of lien from each of Tenant's Contractors. No alterations, modifications, or additions to the Project or the Premises shall be removed by Tenant either during the Term or upon the Expiration Date or the Termination Date without the express written approval of Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Tenant may remove any emergency generator which has been installed by the Tenant during the Term; provided that Tenant shall perform that removal work in compliance with all Applicable Laws.. For the sake of clarification, Tenant acknowledges that any generators existing in or serving the Premises as of the date of this Lease, or which are installed by Landlord after the date of this Lease, are the sole property of Landlord, and shall not be removed by Tenant. Tenant shall not be entitled to any reimbursement or compensation resulting from its payment of the cost of constructing all or any portion of said improvements or modifications thereto unless otherwise expressly agreed by Landlord in writing. Tenant agrees specifically that no food, soft drink, or other vending machine shall be installed within the Premises, without the prior written consent of Landlord.
15.2 Landlord's approval of Tenant's plans for work shall create no responsibility or liability on the part of Landlord for their completeness, design sufficiency, or compliance with all laws, rules, and regulations of governmental agencies or authorities, including, but not limited to, the Americans with Disabilities Act. Landlord may, at its option, at Tenant's expense, require that Landlord's contractors be engaged for any work upon the integrated Building mechanical or electrical systems.
15.3 At least five (5) days prior to the commencement of any work permitted to be done by persons requested by Tenant on the Premises, Tenant shall notify Landlord of the proposed work and the names and addresses of Tenant's Contractors. During any such work on the Premises, Landlord, or its representatives, shall have the right to go upon and inspect the Premises at all reasonable times, and shall have the right to post and keep posted thereon building permits or to take any further action which Landlord may deem to be proper for the protection of Landlord's interest in the Premises. Tenant may elect to have a representative accompany Landlord during any such inspections but such accompaniment shall not be required for Landlord to exercise its rights hereunder.
ARTICLE 16.
FURNITURE, FIXTURES, AND PERSONAL PROPERTY
16.1 Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, may remove its trade fixtures, office supplies and moveable office furniture and equipment not attached to the Project or Premises provided:
(a) Such removal is made prior to the Expiration Date or the Termination Date; and
(b) | Tenant promptly repairs all damage caused by such removal. |
16.2 If Tenant does not remove its trade fixtures, office supplies, and moveable furniture and equipment as herein above provided prior to the Expiration Date or the Termination Date (unless prior arrangements have been made with Landlord and Landlord has agreed in writing to permit Tenant to leave such items in the Premises for an agreed period), then, in addition to its other remedies, at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the right to have such items removed and stored at Tenant's sole cost and expense and all damage to the Project or the Premises resulting from said removal shall be repaired at the cost of Tenant; Landlord may elect that such items automatically become the property of Landlord upon the Expiration Date or the Termination Date, and Tenant shall not have any further rights with respect thereto or reimbursement therefor subject to the provisions of applicable law. Subject to Article 15.1 above, all other property in the Premises, any alterations, or additions to the Premises (including wall-to-wall carpeting, paneling, wall covering, specially constructed or built-in cabinetry or bookcases), and any other article attached or affixed to the floor, wall, or ceiling of the Premises shall become the property of Landlord and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises as a part thereof at the Expiration or Termination Date regardless of who paid therefor, and Tenant hereby waives all rights to any payment or compensation therefor. If, however, Landlord so requests, in writing, Tenant shall remove, prior to the Expiration Date or the Termination Date, any and all alterations, additions, fixtures, equipment, and property placed or installed in the Premises and shall repair any damage caused by such removal. In addition, if any alterations performed by Tenant do not use materials that conform to the building standards used by Landlord at the time of the particular alteration or if Tenant requests any initial improvements to the Premises pursuant to Exhibit C. if any, that use materials that do not conform to the building standards used by Landlord at the time of that work, Tenant shall (a) at Tenant's sole cost and expense, no later than the expiration of the
Term (or no later than thirty (30) days after the earlier termination of the Term) cause the improvements in the Premises to be restored to conform to Landlord's building standard at Tenant's sole cost and expense, or (b) if Landlord so elects in writing, Tenant shall pay Landlord a lump-sum amount determined by Landlord in its reasonable judgment sufficient to pay the cost of restoring the improvements in the Premises to building standard. Prior to commencing any alteration, Tenant may request that Landlord notify Tenant whether or not the proposed alteration will be required by Landlord to be removed or restored to conform to Landlord's Building standard at the end of the Term.
16.3 All the furnishings, fixtures, equipment, effects, and property of every kind, nature, and description of Tenant and of all persons claiming by, through, or under Tenant which, during the continuance of this Lease or any occupancy of the Premises by Tenant or anyone claiming under Tenant, may be on the Premises or elsewhere in the Project shall be at the sole risk and hazard of Tenant, and if the whole or any part thereof shall be destroyed or damaged by fire, water, or otherwise, or by the leakage or bursting of water pipes, steam pipes, or other pipes, by theft, or from any other cause, no part of said loss or damage is to be charged to or be borne by Landlord unless due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its employees, agents or contractors.
ARTICLE 17.
PERSONAL PROPERTY AND OTHER TAXES
17.1 During the Term hereof, Tenant shall pay, prior to delinquency, all business and other taxes, charges, notes, duties, and assessments levied, and rates or fees imposed, charged, or assessed against or in respect of Tenant's occupancy of the Premises or in respect of the personal property, trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment, and all other personal and other property of Tenant contained in the Project (including without limitation taxes and assessments attributable to the cost or value of any leasehold improvements made in or to the Premises by or for Tenant (to the extent that the assessed value of those leasehold improvements exceeds the assessed value of standard office improvements in other space in the Project regardless of whether title to those improvements is vested in Tenant or Landlord)), and shall hold Landlord harmless from and against all payment of such taxes, charges, notes, duties, assessments, rates, and fees, and against all loss, costs, charges, notes, duties, assessments, rates, and fees, and any and all such taxes. Tenant shall cause said fixtures, furnishings, equipment, and other personal property to be assessed and billed separately from the real and personal property of Landlord. In the event any or all of Tenant's fixtures, furnishings, equipment, and other personal property shall be assessed and taxed with Landlord's real property, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant's share of such taxes within thirty (30) days after delivery to Tenant by Landlord of a statement in writing setting forth the amount of such taxes applicable to Tenant's property.
ARTICLE 18.
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
18.1 Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (except that Landlord shall in no event be obligated to consent to an encumbrance of this Lease or any transfer by operation of law): (a) assign, convey, mortgage or otherwise transfer this Lease or any interest hereunder, or sublease the Premises, or any part thereof, whether voluntarily or by operation of law; or (b) permit the use of the Premises or any part thereof by any person other than Tenant and its employees. Any such transfer, sublease or use described in the preceding sentence (a "Transfer") occurring without the prior written consent of Landlord shall, at Landlord's option, be void and of no effect. Landlord's consent to any Transfer shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord's right to withhold its consent to any future Transfer. Landlord may require as a condition to its consent to any assignment of this Lease that the assignee execute an instrument in which such assignee assumes the remaining obligations of Tenant hereunder; provided that the acceptance of any assignment of this Lease by the applicable assignee shall automatically constitute the assumption by such assignee of all of the remaining obligations of Tenant that accrue following such assignment. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant or a mutual cancellation hereof shall not work a merger and shall, at the option of Landlord, terminate all or any existing sublease or may, at the option of Landlord, operate as an assignment to Landlord of Tenant's interest in any or all such subleases.
For purposes of this Lease, the term "Transfer" shall also include (i) if a Tenant is a partnership or limited liability company, the withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, of fifty percent (50%) or more of the partners, members or managers thereof, or transfer of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of partnership or membership interests therein within a twelve (12) month period, or the dissolution of the partnership or the limited liability company without immediate reconstitution thereof, and (ii) if Tenant is a corporation whose stock is not publicly held and not traded through an exchange or over the counter or any other form of entity, (A) the dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant, the sale or other transfer of more than an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) of the voting shares or other interests of or in Tenant (other than to immediate family members by reason of gift or death), within a twelve (12) month period, or (B) the sale, mortgage, hypothecation or pledge of more than an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) of the value of the unencumbered assets of Tenant within a twelve (12) month period; provided that clause (B) shall not apply to bona fide financing transactions entered into by Avaya Inc.
18.2 If Tenant desires the consent of Landlord to a Transfer, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, at least thirty (30) business days prior to the proposed effective date of the Transfer, a written notice (the "Transfer Notice") which includes (a) the name of the proposed sublessee or assignee, (b) the nature of the proposed sublessee's or assignee's business, (c) the terms and provisions of the proposed sublease or assignment, and (d) current financial statements and information on the proposed sublessee or assignee. Upon receipt of the Transfer Notice, Landlord, acting reasonably and in good faith, may request additional information concerning the Transfer or the proposed sublessee or assignee (the "Additional Information"). Subject to Landlord's rights under Section 18.6, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any assignment or sublease (excluding an encumbrance or transfer by operation of law), which consent or lack thereof shall be provided within thirty (30) business days of receipt of Tenant's Transfer Notice; provided, however, Tenant hereby agrees that it shall be a reasonable basis for Landlord to withhold
its consent if Landlord has not received the Additional Information requested by Landlord. Without limiting any other reasonable basis for Landlord to withhold its consent to the proposed Transfer, Landlord and Tenant agree that for purposes of this Lease and any Applicable Law, Landlord shall not be deemed to have unreasonably withheld its consent if, in the judgment of Landlord: (i) the transferee is of a character or engaged in a business which is not in keeping with the standards or criteria used by Landlord in leasing the Project, or the general character or quality of the Project; (ii) the financial net worth of the assignee or sublesee as of the time of the proposed transfer is equal to or greater than the financial net worth of the Tenant upon the Commencement Date and is sufficient for such assignee or sublease to fulfill its obligation pursuant to such assignment or; (iii) the transferee, or any person or entity which directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the transferee, is a tenant of or negotiating for space in the Project occupies space in the Project or has negotiated with Landlord within the preceding one hundred twenty(120) days (or is currently negotiating with Landlord) to lease space in the Project, (iv) the transferee has the power of eminent domain, is a governmental agency or an agency or subdivision of a foreign government; (v) an Event of Default by Tenant has occurred and is uncured at the time Tenant delivers the Transfer Notice to Landlord; (vi) in the judgment of Landlord, such a Transfer would violate any term, condition, covenant, or agreement of Landlord involving the Project or any other tenant's lease within it or would give an occupant of the Project a right to cancel or modify its lease; (vii) in Landlord's judgment, the use of the Premises by the proposed transferee would not be comparable to the types of office use by other tenants in the Project, would entail any alterations which would lessen the value of the tenant improvements in the Premises, would result in more than a reasonable density of occupants per square foot of the Premises, would increase the burden on elevators or other Building systems or equipment over the burden thereon prior to the proposed Transfer, would require increased services by Landlord or would require any alterations to the Project to comply with applicable laws; (viii) the transferee intends to use the space for purposes which are not permitted under this Lease; (ix) the terms of the proposed Transfer would allow the transferee to exercise a right of renewal, right of expansion, right of first offer, or other similar right held by Tenant; (x) the proposed Transfer would result in more than three subleases per each full floor of the Premises being in effect at any one time during the Term; or (xi) any ground lessor or mortgagee whose consent to such Transfer is required fails to consent thereto;. Tenant hereby waives any right to terminate the Lease and/or recover damages as remedies for Landlord wrongfully withholding its consent to any Transfer and agrees that Tenant's sole and exclusive remedy therefor shall be to seek specific performance of Landlord's obligation to consent to such Transfer.
18.3 Landlord and Tenant agree that, in the event of any approved assignment or subletting, the rights of any such assignee or sublessee of Tenant herein shall be subject to all of the terms, conditions, and provisions of this Lease, including, without limitation, restriction on use, assignment, and subletting and the covenant to pay Rent. Landlord may collect the rent owing by the assignee or sublessee directly from such assignee or sublessee and apply the amount so collected to the Rent herein reserved. No such consent to or recognition of any such assignment or subletting shall constitute a release of Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant's performance hereunder from further performance by Tenant or such guarantor of covenants undertaken to be performed by Tenant herein. Tenant and any such guarantor shall remain liable and responsible for all Rent and other obligations herein imposed upon Tenant, and Landlord may condition its consent to any
Transfer upon the receipt of a written reaffirmation from each such guarantor in a form acceptable to Landlord (which shall not be construed to imply that the occurrence of a Transfer without such a reaffirmation would operate to release any guarantor). Consent by Landlord to a particular assignment, sublease, or other transaction shall not be deemed a consent to any other or subsequent transaction. In any case where Tenant desires to assign, sublease or enter into any related or similar transaction, whether or not Landlord consents to such assignment, sublease, or other transaction, Tenant shall pay any reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord in connection with such assignment, sublease or other transaction, including, without limitation, fees incurred in reviewing documents relating to, or evidencing, said assignment, sublease, or other transaction. All documents utilized by Tenant to evidence any subletting or assignment for which Landlord's consent has been requested and is required hereunder, shall be subject to prior approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) by Landlord or its attorney.
18.4 Tenant shall be bound and obligated to pay Landlord a portion of any sums or economic consideration payable to Tenant by any sublessee, assignee, licensee, or other transferee, within ten (10) days following the date the same is payable to Tenant from such sublessee, assignee, licensee, or other transferee, as the case might be, as follows:
(a) In the case of an assignment, fifty percent (50%) of any sums or other economic consideration payable to Tenant as a result of such assignment shall be paid to Landlord after first deducting the unamortized cost of reasonable leasehold improvements paid for by Tenant in connection with such assignment and reasonable cost of any real estate commissions incurred by Tenant in connection with such assignment.
(b) In the case of a subletting, fifty percent (50%) of any sums or economic consideration payable to Tenant as a result of such subletting shall be paid to Landlord after first deducting (i) the Rent due hereunder prorated to reflect only Rent allocable to the sublet portion of the Premises, (ii) the reasonable cost of tenant improvements made to the sublet portion of the Premises by Tenant for the specific benefit of the sublessee, which shall be amortized over the term of the sublease, and
(iii) the reasonable cost of any real estate commissions incurred by Tenant in connection with such subletting, which shall be amortized over the term of the sublease.
(c) Tenant shall provide Landlord with a detailed statement setting forth any sums or economic consideration Tenant either has or will derive from such Transfer, the deductions permitted under (a) and (b) of this Section 18.5, and the calculation of the amounts due Landlord under this Section 18.5, and upon Landlord's request, shall provide Landlord with all applicable documents related to such Transfer which may contain information related to the foregoing, and an Officer's Certificate from an Officer of Tenant certifying that such information is true, correct, and complete in all material respects.
18.5 If this Lease is assigned to any person or entity pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. Section 101 et seq. or any successor or substitute therefor (the "Bankruptcy Code"), any and all monies or other consideration payable or otherwise to be delivered in connection with such assignment shall be paid or delivered to Landlord, shall be and remain the exclusive property of Landlord, and shall not constitute property of Tenant or of the estate of
Tenant within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code. Any such monies or other consideration not paid or delivered to Landlord shall be held in trust for the benefit of Landlord and shall be promptly paid or delivered to Landlord. Any person or entity to whom this Lease is so assigned shall be deemed, without further act or deed, to have assumed all of the remaining obligations arising under this Lease as of the date of such assignment. Any such assignee shall, upon demand therefor, execute and deliver to Landlord an instrument confirming such assumption.
18.6 Landlord shall have the following option with respect to any assignment or subletting proposed by Tenant:
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, Landlord has the option, by written notice to Tenant (the "Recapture Notice") within thirty (30) days after receiving any Transfer Notice to recapture the Space covered by the proposed sublease or the entire Premises in the case of an assignment (the "Subject Space") by terminating this Lease for the Subject Space or taking an assignment or a sublease of the Subject Space from Tenant. A timely Recapture Notice terminates this Lease or creates an assignment or a sublease for the Subject Space for the same term as the proposed Transfer, effective as of the date specified in the Transfer Notice. After such termination, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to) enter into a lease with the party to the sublease or assignment proposed by Tenant.
(b) To determine the new Base Rent under this Lease in the event Landlord recaptures the Subject Space without terminating this Lease, the original Base Rent under the Lease shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the rentable square feet of the Premises retained by Tenant after Landlord's recapture and the denominator of which is the total rentable square feet in the Premises before Landlord's recapture. The Additional Rent, to the extent that it is calculated on the basis of the rentable square feet within the Premises, shall be reduced to reflect Tenant's proportionate share based on the rentable square feet of the Premises retained by Tenant after Landlord's recapture. This Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and affect. Either party may require a written confirmation of the amendments to this Lease necessitated by Landlord's recapture of the Subject Space. If Landlord recaptures the Subject Space, Landlord shall, at Landlord's sole expense, construct any partitions required to segregate the Subject Space from the remaining Premises retained by Tenant. Tenant shall, however, pay for painting, covering or otherwise decorating the surfaces of the partitions facing the remaining Premises retained by Tenant.
18.7 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 18, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet the Premises without the need for Landlord's prior consent if such assignment or sublease is to any parent, subsidiary or affiliate business entity which the initially named Tenant controls, is controlled by or is under common control with (each, an "Affiliate") provided that: (i) at least thirty (30) days prior to such assignment or sublease, Tenant delivers to Landlord the financial statements or other financial and background information of the assignee or sublessee as required for other transfers; (ii) if the transfer is an assignment, the assignee assumes, in full, the obligations of Tenant under this Lease (or if a sublease, the sublessee of a portion of
the Premises or term assumes, in full, the obligations of Tenant with respect to such portion); (iii) the financial net worth of the assignee or sublessee as of the time of the proposed transfer is equal to or greater than the financial net worth of the Tenant upon the Commencement Date and is sufficient for such assignee or sublessee to fulfill its obligations pursuant to such assignment or sublease; (iv) Tenant remains fully liable under this Lease; and (v) unless Landlord consents to the same, the use of the Premises set forth herein remains unchanged in all material respects. As used in this section, "control" (including, with its correlative meanings, "controlled by" and "under common control with") shall mean possession, directly or indirectly, of power to direct or cause the direction of management or policies through ownership of at least fifty-one (51%) of the securities or partnership or other ownership interests of the entity subject to control.
18.8 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 18, Tenant may engage in Approved Reorganizations (as defined below), without the express consent of Landlord; provided that (a) at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of the Approved Reorganization, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with the name of the transferee and a written certification from an officer of Tenant certifying that the assignment or sublease qualifies as an Approved Reorganization, (b) no Event of Default exists under this Lease during the period commencing on the date of Tenant's request and ending on the effective date of the Approved Reorganization, and (c) there is no change in use of the Premises. To the extent that legal requirements or confidentiality requirements do not permit Tenant to give Landlord prior notice of an Approved Reorganization, then Tenant may in lieu of the prior notice required under this Section give Landlord notice within ten (10) days after the effective date of the Approved Reorganization, together with the name of the transferee and a written certification from an officer of Tenant certifying that the assignment or sublease qualifies as an Approved Reorganization. As used herein, the term "Approved Reorganizations" means any merger, reorganization or consolidation of Tenant (whether or not Tenant is the surviving entity), or the sale of substantially all of the assets or stock of Tenant, in each case as a going concern, where (1) Tenant's successor (together with Tenant, so long as Tenant remains liable under this Lease) shall have a net worth following consummation of such transaction, as reasonably determined by Landlord in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, that is at least equal to the net worth, on the Commencement Date, of the original named Tenant, and (2) Tenant's successor shall have a net worth following consummation of such transaction, as reasonably determined by Landlord in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, that is sufficient to meet the remaining obligations of Tenant under this Lease.
ARTICLE 19.
DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
19.1 Casualty. If the Premises or Building should be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall give immediate written notice to Landlord. Within thirty (30) days after receipt from Tenant of such written notice, Landlord shall notify Tenant whether the necessary repairs can reasonably be made: (a) within ninety (90) days; (b) in more than ninety (90) days but in less than one hundred eighty (180) days; or (c) in more than one hundred eighty (180) days, in each case after the date of the issuance of permits for the necessary repair or reconstruction of the portion of the Premises or Building which was damaged or destroyed.
19.1.1 Less Than 90 Days. If the Premises or Building should be damaged only to such extent that rebuilding or repairs can reasonably be completed within
ninety (90) days after the issuance of permits the necessary repair or reconstruction of the portion of the Premises which was damaged or destroyed, this Lease shall not terminate and, provided that insurance proceeds are available to pay for the full repair of all damage, Landlord shall repair the Premises or Building, except that Landlord shall not be required to rebuild, repair or replace Tenant's furniture, fixtures, furnishings, or equipment (collectively, "Tenant's Property") which may have been placed in, on or about the Premises by or for the benefit of Tenant. If Tenant is required to vacate all or a portion of the Premises during Landlord's repair thereof, the Base Rent payable hereunder shall be abated proportionately on the basis of the size of the area of the Premises that is damaged (i.e., the number of square feet of floor area of the Premises that is damaged compared to the total square footage of the floor area of the Premises) from the date Tenant vacates all or a portion of the Premises that was damaged only to the extent rental abatement insurance proceeds are received by Landlord and only during the period the Premises are unfit for occupancy.
19.1.2 Greater Than 90 Days. If the Premises or Building should be damaged only to such extent that rebuilding or repairs can reasonably be completed in more than ninety (90) days but in less than one hundred eighty (180) days after the issuance of permits for the necessary repair or reconstruction of the portion of the Premises which was damaged or destroyed, then Landlord shall have the option of (a) terminating the Lease effective upon the occurrence of such damage, in which event the Base Rent shall be abated from the date Tenant vacates the Premises; or (b) to repair the Premises, provided insurance proceeds are available to pay for the full repair of all damage (except that Landlord shall not be required to rebuild, repair or replace Tenant's Property). If Tenant is required to vacate all or a portion of the Premises during Landlord's repair thereof, the Base Rent payable hereunder shall be abated proportionately on the basis of the size of the area of the Premises that is damaged (i.e., the number of square feet of floor area of the Premises that is damaged compared to the total square footage of the floor area of the Premises) from the date Tenant vacates all or a portion of the Premises that was damaged only to the extent rental abatement insurance proceeds are received by Landlord and only during the period the Premises are unfit for occupancy. In the event that Landlord should fail to substantially complete such repairs within one hundred eighty (180) days after the issuance of permits for the necessary repair or reconstruction of the portion of the Premises which was damaged or destroyed (such period to be extended for delays caused by Tenant or because of any Force Majeure Events, as hereinafter defined), and Tenant has not reoccupied the Premises, Tenant shall have the right, as Tenant's exclusive remedy, within ten (10) days after the expiration of such one hundred eighty (180) day period, and provided that such repairs have not been substantially completed within such ten (10) day period, to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to Landlord as Tenant's exclusive remedy, whereupon all rights of Tenant hereunder shall cease and terminate thirty (30) days after Landlord's receipt of such notice.
19.1.3 Greater Than 180 Days. If the Premises or Building should be so damaged that rebuilding or repairs cannot be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the issuance of permits for the necessary repair or reconstruction of the portion of the
Premises or Building which was damaged or destroyed, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving written notice within ten (10) days after notice from Landlord specifying such time period of repair, and this Lease shall terminate and the Rent shall be abated from the date Tenant vacates the Premises. In the event that neither party elects to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall commence and prosecute to completion the repairs to the Premises or Building, provided insurance proceeds are available to pay for the repair of all damage (except that Landlord shall not be required to rebuild, repair or replace Tenant's Property). If Tenant is required to vacate all or a portion of the Premises during Landlord's repair thereof, the Base Rent payable hereunder shall be abated proportionately on the basis of the size of the area of the Premises that is damaged (i.e., the number of square feet of floor area of the Premises that is damaged compared to the total square footage of the floor area of the Premises), from the date Tenant vacates all or a portion of the Premises that was damaged only to the extent rental abatement insurance proceeds are received by Landlord and only during the period that the Premises are unfit for occupancy.
19.1.4 Casualty During the Last Year of the Lease Term. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, if the Premises or Building shall be damaged within the last year of the Lease Term, and if the cost to repair or reconstruct the portion of the Premises or Building which was damaged or destroyed shall exceed $250,000.00, then, irrespective of the time necessary to complete such repair or reconstruction, Landlord shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to terminate the Lease effective upon the occurrence of such damage, in which event the Rent shall be abated from the date Tenant vacates the Premises. The foregoing right shall be in addition to any other right and option of Landlord under this Article 19.
19.1.5 Tenant's Termination Right. If the Building or the Premises is destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty such that Tenant is deprived of access to the Premises or the use and occupancy thereof and a reputable contractor or architect designated by Landlord ("Landlord's Architect or Contractor") estimates in a notice (the "Reconstruction Estimate") provided to Tenant by Landlord within ninety (90) days after the casualty that the Building or the Premises is damaged to such an extent that Tenant will be deprived of access to the Premises or use and occupancy of the Premises for a period in excess of two hundred seventy days, then Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving Landlord notice within thirty (30) days after delivery of such contractor's or architect's estimate, whereupon this Lease shall terminate as of the date of the casualty. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Reconstruction Estimate to Tenant within 60 days after the casualty. If the Building or the Premises is destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty and Landlord's Architect or Contractor has estimated (in a notice delivered to Tenant pursuant to the previous sentence) that Tenant will be deprived of access to the Premises or use and occupancy of the Premises for a period of two hundred seventy (270) days or less, but the Premises and access thereto and the use and occupancy thereof are not actually restored within two hundred seventy (270) days from the date (the "Untenantability Date") that Tenant is first deprived of such access or use and occupancy due to such casualty (the "Outside Date"), Tenant may terminate this Lease as of the Untenantability Date by giving Landlord notice within thirty (30) days after the Outside Date.
19.2 Uninsured Casualty. Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay to Landlord Tenant's Share of any deductible or retention amount payable under the property insurance for the Building as part of Operating Expenses. In the event that the Premises or any portion of the Building is damaged to the extent Tenant is unable to use the Premises and such damage is not covered by insurance proceeds received by Landlord or in the event that the holder of any indebtedness secured by the Premises requires that the insurance proceeds be applied to such indebtedness, then Landlord shall have the right at Landlord's option, in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion, either (i) to repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible at Landlord's expense, or (ii) to give written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date of the occurrence of such damage of Landlord's intention to terminate this Lease as of the date of the occurrence of such damage. In the event Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice to give written notice to Landlord of Tenant's commitment to pay the cost of repair of such damage, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and Landlord shall make such repairs as soon as reasonably possible subject to the following conditions: Tenant shall deposit with Landlord Landlord's estimated cost of such repairs not later than fifteen (15) business days prior to Landlord's commencement of the repair work. If the cost of such repairs exceeds the amount deposited, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such excess cost within thirty (30) business days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord. Any amount deposited by Tenant in excess of the cost of such repairs shall be refunded within thirty (30) days of Landlord's final payment to Landlord's contractor. If Tenant does not give such notice within the ten (10) day period, or fails to make such deposit as required, Landlord shall have the right, in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion, to immediately terminate this Lease to be effective as of the date of the occurrence of the damage.
19.3 Waiver. The provisions of this Lease, including this Article 19, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to damage to, or destruction of, all or any portion of the Premises or the Project, and any statute or regulation of the State of California, including without limitation Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) of the California Civil Code, with respect to any rights or obligations concerning damage or destruction in the absence of an express agreement between the parties (and any other statute or regulation now or hereafter in effect with respect to such rights or obligations), shall have no application to this Lease or to any damage or destruction to all or any portion of the Premises or the Project.
ARTICLE20.
CONDEMNATION
CONDEMNATION
20.1 Total Condemnation. If all of the Premises is condemned by eminent domain, inversely condemned or sold under threat of condemnation for any public or quasi public use or purpose ("Condemned"), this Lease shall terminate as of the earlier of the date the condemning authority takes title to or possession of the Premises, and Rent shall be adjusted to the date of termination.
20.2 Partial Condemnation. If any portion of the Premises or Building is condemned and such partial condemnation materially impairs Tenant's ability to use the Premises for Tenant's business as reasonably determined by both parties, Landlord shall have the option in
Landlord's sole and absolute discretion of either (i) relocating Tenant to comparable space within the Project or (ii) terminate this Lease as of the earlier of the date title vests in the condemning authority or as of the date an order of immediate possession is issued and Rent shall be adjusted to the date of termination. If such partial condemnation does not materially impair Tenant's ability to use the Premises for the business of Tenant, Landlord shall promptly restore the Premises to the extent of any condemnation proceeds recovered by Landlord, excluding the portion thereof lost in such condemnation, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect except that after the date of such title vesting or order of immediate possession Rent, and the square footage shall be adjusted as reasonably determined by Landlord.
20.3 Award. If the Premises are wholly or partially condemned, Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award paid for such condemnation, and Tenant waives any claim to any part of the award from Landlord or the condemning authority; provided, however, Tenant shall have the right to recover from the condemning authority such compensation as may be separately awarded to Tenant in connection with costs in removing Tenant's merchandise, furniture, fixtures, leasehold improvements and equipment to a new location. No condemnation of any kind shall be construed to constitute an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant or a breach of any express or implied covenant of quiet enjoyment. Tenant hereby waives the effect of Sections 1265.120 and 1265.130 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.
20.4 Temporary Condemnation. In the event of a temporary condemnation not extending beyond the Term, this Lease shall remain in effect, Tenant shall continue to pay Rent and Tenant shall receive any award made for such condemnation except damages to any of Landlord's property. If a temporary condemnation is for a period which extends beyond the Term, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of initial occupancy by the condemning authority and any such award shall be distributed in accordance with the preceding section. If a temporary condemnation remains in effect at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord the reasonable cost of performing any obligations required of Tenant with respect to the surrender of the Premises.

21.1 Tenant agrees to defend all actions against Landlord, any member, partner, trustee, stockholder, officer, director, employee, or beneficiary of Landlord (collectively, "Landlord Parties"), holders of mortgages secured by the Premises or the Project and any other party having an interest therein (collectively with Landlord Parties, the "Indemnified Parties") with respect to, and to pay, protect, indemnify, and save harmless, to the extent permitted by law, all Indemnified Parties from and against, any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), causes of action, suits, claims, demands, or judgments of any nature to which any Indemnified Party is subject because of its estate or interest in the Premises or the Project (provided, however, that Tenant's indemnity shall, in no event, extend to loss of profits, loss of business or other consequential damages incurred by any Indemnified Party) arising from (a) injury to or death of any person, or damage to or loss of property on the Premises, the Project, except to the extent, if any, caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its employees, contractors or agents, (b) any violation of this Lease by or attributable
to Tenant, or (c) subject to Section 13.4, any act, fault, omission or other misconduct of Tenant or its agents, contractors, licensees, sublessees, or invitees. Tenant agrees to use and occupy the Premises and other facilities of the Project at its own risk, and hereby releases the Indemnified Parties from any and all claims for any damage or injury to the fullest extent permitted by law.
21.2 Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be responsible or liable to Tenant, its agents, employees, or invitees for fatal or non-fatal bodily injury or property damage occasioned by the acts or omissions of any other tenant, or such other tenant's agents, employees, licensees, or invitees, of the Project and (ii) Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for losses due to theft, burglary, or damages done by persons on the Project.
21.3 To the extent permitted by law, and not insured (or required to be insured) by Tenant under this Lease, Landlord shall indemnify Tenant and hold it harmless from and against any and all liability for any loss of or damage or injury to any person (including death resulting therefrom) or property occurring in, on or about the Project, caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its employees or agents (provided, however, that Landlord's indemnity shall, in no event, extend to loss of profits, loss of business or other consequential damages incurred by Tenant). Landlord's obligation to indemnify Tenant hereunder shall include the duty to defend against any claims asserted by reason of such loss, damage or injury and to pay any judgments, settlements, costs, fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection therewith.
ARTICLE 22.
DEFAULT BY TENANT
22.1 The term "Event of Default" refers to the occurrence of any one (1) or more of the following:
(a) Failure of Tenant to pay when due any sum required to be paid hereunder which is not received by Landlord within seven (7) days after the date due (the "Monetary Default");
(b) Failure of Tenant, after thirty (30) days written notice thereof, to perform any of Tenant's obligations, covenants, or agreements except a Monetary Default, provided that if the cure of any such failure is not reasonably susceptible of performance within such thirty (30) day period, then an Event of Default of Tenant shall not be deemed to have occurred so long as Tenant has promptly commenced and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion and completes that cure within sixty (60) days;
(c) Tenant, or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations under this Lease (the "Guarantor"), admits in writing that it cannot meet its obligations as they become due; or is declared insolvent according to any law; or assignment of Tenant's or Guarantor's property is made for the benefit of creditors; or a receiver or trustee is appointed for Tenant or Guarantor or its property; or the interest of Tenant or Guarantor under this Lease is levied on under execution or other legal process; or any petition is filed by or against Tenant or Guarantor to declare Tenant bankrupt or to delay, reduce, or modify Tenant's debts or
obligations; or any petition filed or other action taken to reorganize or modify Tenant's or Guarantor's capital structure if Tenant is a corporation or other entity. Any such levy, execution, legal process, or petition filed against Tenant or Guarantor shall not constitute a breach of this Lease provided Tenant or Guarantor shall vigorously contest the same by appropriate proceedings and shall remove or vacate the same within ninety (90) days from the date of its creation, service, or filing;
(d) The abandonment of the Premises by Tenant for more than 15 days after written notice from Landlord, if the notice is served personally (or, if the notice is mailed, for more than 18 days after written notice from Landlord) while Tenant is in default in the payment of Rent;
(e) The discovery by Landlord that any financial statement given by Tenant or any of its assignees, subtenants, successors-in-interest, or Guarantors was materially false; or
(f) If Tenant or any Guarantor shall die, cease to exist as a corporation or partnership, or be otherwise dissolved or liquidated or become insolvent, or shall make a transfer in fraud of creditors.
22.2 In the event of any Event of Default by Tenant, Landlord, at its option, may pursue one or more of the following remedies without notice or demand in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for at law or in equity:
(a) Landlord may continue this Lease in full force and effect, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant's right to possession, and Landlord shall have the right to collect Rent when due. Landlord may enter the Premises and relet it, or any part of it, to third parties for Tenant's account, provided that any Rent in excess of the Rent due hereunder shall be payable to Landlord. Tenant shall be liable immediately to Landlord for all costs Landlord incurs in reletting the Premises, including, without limitation, brokers' commissions, expenses of cleaning and reasonably redocorating the Premises required by the reletting and like costs. Reletting may be for a period shorter or longer than the remaining Term of this Lease. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Rent and other sums due under this Lease on the dates the Rent is due, less the Rent and other sums Landlord receives from any reletting. No act by Landlord allowed by this Section 22.2(a) shall terminate this Lease unless Landlord notifies Tenant in writing that Landlord elects to terminate this Lease.
"The lessor has the remedy described in Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue the lease in effect after lessee's breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign subject only to reasonable limitations)."
(b) Landlord may terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises at any time by giving written notice to that effect. No act by Landlord other than giving
written notice to Tenant shall terminate this Lease. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of a receiver on Landlord's initiative to protect Landlord's interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant's right to possession. On termination, Landlord shall have the right to remove all personal property of Tenant and store it at Tenant's cost and to recover from Tenant as damages: the worth at the time of award of unpaid Rent and other sums due and payable which had been earned at the time of termination; plus (ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent and other sums due and payable which would have been payable after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of the Rent loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (iii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent and other sums due and payable for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of the Rent loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform Tenant's obligations under this Lease, or which, in the ordinary course of things, would be likely to result therefrom, including, without limitation, actual costs or expenses incurred by Landlord: (A) in retaking possession of the Premises, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs therefor; (B) maintaining or preserving the Premises for reletting to a new tenant, including repairs or alterations to the Premises for the reletting; (C) leasing commissions; (D) any other costs necessary or appropriate to relet the Premises; and (E) at Landlord's election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by the laws of the State of California.
The "worth at the time of award" of the amounts referred to in Sections 22.2(b)(i) and 22.2(b)(ii) shall be calculated by allowing interest at the lesser of twelve percent (12%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law, on the unpaid Rent and other sums due and payable from the termination date through the date of award. The "worth at the time of award" of the amount referred to in Section 22.2(b)(iii) shall be calculated by discounting the amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award, plus one percent ( 1%). Tenant waives redemption or relief from forfeiture under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1174 and 1179, or under any other present or future law, if Tenant is evicted or Landlord takes possession of the Premises by reason of any Event of Default by Tenant.
22.3 If Landlord shall exercise any one or more remedies hereunder granted or otherwise available, it shall not be deemed to be an acceptance or surrender of the Premises by Tenant whether by agreement or by operation of law; it is understood that such surrender can be effected only by the written agreement of Landlord and Tenant. No alteration of security devices and no removal or other exercise of dominion by Landlord over the property of Tenant or others in the Premises shall be deemed unauthorized or constitute a conversion, Tenant hereby consenting to the aforesaid exercise of dominion over Tenant's property within the Premises after any Event of Default.
22.4 Each right and remedy provided for in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right or remedy provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, including, but not limited to, suits for injunctive relief and specific performance. The exercise or beginning of the exercise by Landlord of any one or more of the rights or remedies provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, or by statute or otherwise shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Landlord for any or all other rights or remedies provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at or in equity or by statute or otherwise. All such rights and remedies shall be considered cumulative and non-exclusive. All costs incurred by Landlord in connection with collecting any Rent or other amounts and damages owing by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, or to enforce any provision of this Lease, including reasonable attorneys' fees from the date such matter is turned over to an attorney, whether or not one or more actions are commenced by Landlord, shall also be recoverable by Landlord from Tenant. If any notice and grace period required under subparagraphs 22.1(a) or (b) was not previously given, a notice to pay rent or quit, or to perform or quit, as the case may be, given to Tenant under any statute authorizing the forfeiture of leases for unlawful detainer shall also constitute the applicable notice for grace period purposes required by subparagraphs 22.1(a) or (b). In such case, the applicable grace period under subparagraphs 22.1(a) or (b) and under the unlawful detainer statute shall run concurrently after the one such statutory notice, and the failure of Tenant to cure the default within the greater of the two (2) such grace periods shall constitute both an unlawful detainer and an Event of Default entitling Landlord to the remedies provided for in this Lease and/or by said statute.
22.5 If Tenant should fail to make any payment or cure any default hereunder within the time herein permitted and such failure constitutes an Event of Default (except in the case where if Landlord in good faith believes that action prior to the expiration of any cure period under Section 22.1 is necessary to prevent damage to persons or property, in which case Landlord may act without waiting for such cure period to expire), Landlord, without being under any obligation to do so and without thereby waiving such default, may make such payment and/or remedy such default for the account of Tenant (and enter the Premises for such purpose), and thereupon, Tenant shall be obligated and hereby agrees to pay Landlord, upon demand, all reasonable costs, expenses, and disbursements, plus five percent (5%) thereof as partial reimbursement of Landlord's overhead and administrative costs likely to be incurred.
22.6 In addition to Landlord's rights set forth above, if Tenant fails to pay its Rent or any other amounts owing hereunder on the due date thereof more than two (2) times during any calendar year during the Term, then upon the occurrence of the third or any subsequent default in the payment of monies during said calendar year, Landlord, at its sole option, shall have the right to require that Tenant, as a condition precedent to curing such default, pay to Landlord, in check or money order, in advance, the Rent and Landlord's estimate of all other amounts which will become due and owing hereunder by Tenant for a period of two (2) months following said cure. All such amounts shall be paid by Tenant within thirty (30) days after notice from Landlord demanding the same. All monies so paid shall be retained by Landlord, without interest, for the balance of the Term and any extension thereof, and shall be applied by Landlord to the last due amounts owing hereunder by Tenant. If, however, Landlord's estimate of the Rent and other amounts for which Tenant is responsible hereunder are inaccurate, when such error is discovered, Landlord shall pay to Tenant, or Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof, the excess or deficiency, as the case may be, which is required to reconcile the amount on deposit with Landlord with the actual amounts for which Tenant is responsible.
22.7 Nothing contained in this Article 22 shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove and obtain as damages in any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, or dissolution proceeding, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law governing such a proceeding and in effect at the time when such damages are to be proved, whether or not such amount be greater, equal, or less than the amounts recoverable, either as damages or Rent, referred to in any of the preceding provisions of this Article 22. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article to the contrary, any such proceeding or action involving bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, assignment for the benefit of creditors, or appointment of a receiver or trustee, as set forth above, shall be considered to be an Event of Default only when such proceeding, action, or remedy shall be taken or brought by or against the then holder of the leasehold estate under this Lease.
22.8 Landlord is entitled to accept, receive, in check or money order, and deposit any payment made by Tenant for any reason or purpose or in any amount whatsoever, and apply them at Landlord's option to any obligation of Tenant, and such amounts shall not constitute payment of any amount owed, except that to which Landlord has applied them. No endorsement or statement on any check or letter of Tenant shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction or recognized for any purpose whatsoever. The acceptance of any such check or payment shall be without prejudice to Landlord's rights to recover any and all amounts owed by Tenant hereunder and shall not be deemed to cure any other default nor prejudice Landlord's rights to pursue any other available remedy, Landlord's acceptance of partial payment of Rent does not constitute a waiver of any rights, including without limitation any right Landlord may have to recover possession of the Premises.
22.9 In the event that Tenant's right of possession of the Premises is terminated prior to the end of the initial Term by reason of an Event of Default by Tenant, then immediately upon such termination, an amount shall be due and payable by Tenant to Landlord equal to the unamortized portion as of that date (which amortization shall be based on an interest rate of ten percent (10%) per annum) of the sum of (a) the cost of Landlord's Work (if any), (b) the Allowance (if any), (c) the value of any free Base Rent (i.e., the Base Rent stated in this Lease to be abated as an inducement to Tenant's entering into this Lease) enjoyed as of that date by Tenant, and (d) the amount of all commissions paid by Landlord in order to procure this Lease.
22.10 Tenant waives the right to terminate this Lease due to Landlord's default hereunder, and Tenant's sole remedy on Landlord's default is an action for damages or injunctive or declaratory relief. Landlord's failure to perform any of its obligations under this Lease shall constitute a default by Landlord under this Lease if the failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice of the failure from Tenant to Landlord. If the required performance cannot be completed within thirty (30) days, Landlord's failure to perform shall constitute a default under the Lease unless Landlord undertakes to cure the failure within thirty (30) days and diligently and continuously attempts to complete this cure as soon as reasonably possible. All obligations of each party hereunder shall be construed as covenants, not conditions.

ATTORNEYS' FEES
ATTORNEYS' FEES
25.1 All costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees (whether or not legal proceedings are instituted), involved in collecting rents, enforcing the obligations of Tenant, or protecting the rights or interests of Landlord in each case under and in accordance with the terms of this Lease, whether or not an action is filed, including without limitation the cost and expense of instituting and prosecuting legal proceedings or recovering possession of the Premises after default by Tenant or upon expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, shall be due and payable by Tenant on demand, as Additional Rent. In addition, and notwithstanding the foregoing, if either party hereto shall file any action or bring any proceeding against the other party arising out of this Lease or for the declaration of any rights hereunder, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to recover from the other party all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by the prevailing party, as determined by the trier of fact in such legal proceeding. For purposes of this provision, the terms "attorneys' fees" or "attorneys' fees and costs," or "costs and expenses" shall mean the fees and expenses of external legal counsel of the parties hereto, which include printing, photocopying, duplicating, mail, overnight mail, messenger, court filing fees, costs of discovery, and fees billed for law clerks, paralegals, investigators and other persons not admitted to the bar for performing services under the supervision and direction of an attorney. In addition, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in enforcing any judgment arising from a suit or proceeding under this Lease, including without limitation post-judgment motions, contempt proceedings, garnishment, levy and debtor and third party examinations, discovery and bankruptcy litigation, without regard to schedule or rule of court purporting to restrict such award. This post-judgment award of attorneys' fees and costs provision shall be severable from any other provision of this Lease and shall survive any judgment/award on such suit or arbitration and is not to be deemed merged into the judgment/award or terminated with the Lease.
ARTICLE26.
NON-WAIVER
26.1 Neither acceptance of any payment by Landlord from Tenant nor, failure by Landlord to complain of any action, non-action, or default of Tenant shall constitute a waiver of any of Landlord's rights hereunder. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of every obligation of each party under this Lease in which time of performance is a factor. Waiver by either party of any right or remedy arising in connection with any default of the other party shall not constitute a waiver of such right or remedy or any other right or remedy arising in connection with either a subsequent default of the same obligation or any other default. No right or remedy of either party hereunder or covenant, duty, or obligation of any party hereunder shall be deemed waived by the other party unless such waiver is in writing, signed by the other party or the other party's duly authorized agent.
ARTICLE27.
RULES AND REGULATIONS
27.1 Such reasonable rules and regulations applying to all lessees in the Project for the safety, care, and cleanliness of the Project and the preservation of good order thereon are hereby made a part hereof as Exhibit D, and Tenant agrees to comply with all such rules and regulations. Landlord shall have the right at all times to change such rules and regulations or to amend them in any reasonable and non-discriminatory manner as may be deemed advisable by Landlord, all of which changes and amendments shall be sent by Landlord to Tenant in writing and shall be thereafter carried out and observed by Tenant. Landlord shall not have any liability to Tenant for any failure of any other lessees of the Project to comply with such rules and regulations.
ARTICLE28.

ARTICLE29.
LIABILITY OF LANDLORD
LIABILITY OF LANDLORD
29.1 It is expressly understood and agreed that the obligations of Landlord under this Lease shall be binding upon Landlord and its successors and assigns and any future owner of the Project only with respect to events occurring during its and their respective ownership of the Project. In addition, Tenant agrees to look solely to Landlord's interest in the Project for recovery of any judgment against Landlord arising in connection with this Lease, it being agreed that neither Landlord nor any successor or assign of Landlord nor any future owner of the Project, nor any partner, shareholder, member, or officer of any of the foregoing shall ever be personally liable for any such judgment. The limitations of liability contained in this Section 29.1 shall inure to the benefit of Landlord's and the Landlord Parties' present and future partners, beneficiaries, officers, directors, trustees, shareholders, agents and employees, and their respective partners, heirs, successors and assigns. Under no circumstances shall any present or future partner of Landlord (if Landlord is a partnership), or trustee or beneficiary (if Landlord or any partner of Landlord is a trust), have any liability for the performance of Landlord's obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, neither Landlord nor the Landlord Parties shall be liable under any circumstances for any indirect or consequential damages or any injury or damage to, or interference with, Tenant's business, including but not limited to, loss of profits, loss of rents or other revenues, loss of business opportunity, loss of goodwill or loss of use, in each case, however occurring.

SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT
SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT
30.1 This Lease, at Landlord's option, shall be subordinate to any present or future mortgage, ground lease or declaration of covenants regarding maintenance and use of any areas contained in any portion of the Building, and to any and all advances made under any present or future mortgage and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, and extensions of any or all of same. Tenant agrees, with respect to any of the foregoing documents, that no documentation other than this Lease shall be required to evidence such subordination. If any holder of a mortgage shall elect for this Lease to be superior to the lien of its mortgage and shall give written notice thereof to Tenant, then this Lease shall automatically be deemed prior to such mortgage whether this Lease is dated earlier or later than the date of said mortgage or the date of recording thereof. Tenant agrees to execute such documents as may be further required to evidence such subordination or to make this Lease prior to the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust, as the case may be, and by failing to do so within fifteen (15) days after written demand. Tenant hereby attorns to all successor owners of the Building, whether or not such ownership is acquired as a result of a sale through foreclosure or otherwise.
30.2 Each party shall, at such time or times as the other party may request, upon not less than fifteen (15) days' prior written request by the requesting party, sign and deliver to the requesting party a certificate stating whether this Lease is in full force and effect; whether any amendments or modifications exist; whether any Monthly Rent has been prepaid and, if so, how much; whether to the knowledge of the certifying party there are any defaults hereunder; and in the circumstance where Landlord is the requesting party, such other information and agreements as may be reasonably requested, it being intended that any such statement delivered pursuant to this Article may be relied upon by the requesting party and by any prospective purchaser of all or any portion of the requesting party's interest herein, or a holder or prospective holder of any mortgage encumbering the Building. Tenant's failure to deliver such statement within five (5) business days after Landlord's second written request therefor shall conclusively be deemed to be an admission by Tenant of the matters set forth in the request for an estoppel certificate.
30.3 Tenant shall deliver to Landlord prior to the execution of this Lease and thereafter at any time upon Landlord's request, Tenant's current audited financial statements, including a balance sheet and profit and loss statement for the most recent prior year (collectively, the "Statements"), which Statements shall accurately and completely reflect the financial condition of Tenant. Landlord shall have the right to deliver the same to any proposed purchaser of the Building or the Project, and to any encumbrancer of all or any portion of the Building or the Project.
30.4 Tenant acknowledges that Landlord is relying on the Statements in its determination to enter into this Lease, and Tenant represents to Landlord, which representation shall be deemed made on the date of this Lease and again on the Commencement Date, that no material change in the financial condition of Tenant, as reflected in the Statements, has occurred since the date Tenant delivered the Statements to Landlord. The Statements are represented and warranted by Tenant to be correct and to accurately and fully reflect Tenant's true financial condition as of the date of submission of any Statements to Landlord.
ARTICLE31.
HOLDING OVER
HOLDING OVER
31.1 In the event Tenant, or any party claiming under Tenant, retains possession of the Premises after the Expiration Date or Termination Date, without the expressed prior written approval of Landlord, then such possession shall be that of a holdover tenant and an unlawful detainer. No tenancy or interest shall result from such possession, and such parties shall be subject to eviction and removal. Tenant or any such party shall pay Landlord, as Base Rent for the period of such holdover, an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent otherwise provided for herein, during the time of holdover together with all other Additional Rent and other amounts payable pursuant to the terms of this Lease. Tenant shall also be liable for any and all damages sustained by Landlord as a result of such holdover. Tenant shall vacate the Premises and deliver same to Landlord immediately upon Tenant's receipt of notice from Landlord to so vacate. The Rent during such holdover period shall be payable to Landlord on demand. No holding over by Tenant, whether with or without consent of Landlord, shall operate to extend the Term of this Lease.
ARTICLE 32.
SIGNS
32.1 Subject to Landlord's prior written approval, in its reasonable discretion, and provided all signs are in keeping with the quality and nature of the Building and Project, Tenant, if the Premises comprise an entire floor of the Building, at its sole cost and expense, may install identification signage anywhere in the Premises, provided that such signs must not be visible from the exterior of the Building and any elevator lobby sign shall comply with Landlord's then-current Building standard signage program. Any signs within an elevator lobby or visible from an elevator lobby shall be subject to Landlord's reasonable approval.
32.2 If other tenants occupy space on the floor on which a portion of the Premises is located, Tenant's identifying signage with respect to such floor shall be provided by Landlord, at Landlord's cost, and such signage shall be comparable to that used by Landlord for other similar floors in the Building and shall comply with Landlord's then-current Building standard signage program.
32.3 Any signs, notices, logos, pictures, names or advertisements which are installed and that have not been separately approved by Landlord or permitted pursuant to Section 32.4 below may be removed, upon not less than five (5) business days prior written notice to Tenant, at the sole expense of Tenant. Except as provided in Section 32.4, below, Tenant may not install any signs on the exterior or roof of the Building or the Common Areas. Any signs, window coverings, blinds or other items visible from the exterior of the Premises or the Building, shall be subject to the prior approval of Landlord, in its sole discretion.
32.4 Tenant shall be entitled to install the following signage (collectively, the "Tenant's Signage"):
(a) So long as Tenant leases and occupies at least five (5) full floors in the Building, to the extent allowed pursuant to Applicable Laws and the provisions of any CC&Rs affecting the Project, exclusive signage on the Building identifying Tenant's
name or logo located in the same location as Tenant's Building top sign as of the date of
this Lease (the "Building Top Signage").
(b) So long as Tenant leases and occupies at least one (1) full floor in the Building, space on the existing monument sign located on Great America Parkway adjacent to the Building equal to one-sixth of the total signage area for each full floor of the Building leased and occupied by Tenant, not to exceed 50% of the total signage are on that monument sign.
32.4.1 Tenant's Signage shall set forth Tenant's name and logo as determined by Tenant in its sole discretion; provided, however, in no event shall Tenant's Signage include an "Objectionable Name," as that term is defined in Section 32.4.2, of this Lease. The graphics, materials, color, design, lettering, lighting, size, illumination, specifications and exact location of Tenant's Signage (collectively, the "Sign Specifications") shall be subject to the prior written approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and shall be consistent and compatible with the quality and nature of the Project. Landlord hereby approves Tenant's Building Top Signage and monument signage existing on the date of this Lease. For purposes of this Section 32.4.1, the reference to "name" shall mean name and/or logo. In addition, Tenant's Signage shall be subject to Tenant's receipt of all required governmental permits and approvals and shall be subject to all Applicable Laws and to any CC&Rs affecting the Project. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Tenant in obtaining all necessary governmental permits and approvals for Tenant's Signage. Tenant hereby acknowledges that, notwithstanding Landlord's approval of Tenant's Signage, Landlord has made no representation or warranty to Tenant with respect to the probability of obtaining all necessary governmental approvals and permits for Tenant's Signage. In the event Tenant does not receive the necessary governmental approvals and permits for Tenant's Signage, Tenant's and Landlord's rights and obligations under the remaining provisions of this Lease shall be unaffected.
32.4.2 To the extent Tenant desires to change the name and/or logo set forth on Tenant's Signage, such name and/or logo shall not have a name which relates to an entity which is of a character or reputation, or is associated with a political faction or orientation, which is inconsistent with the quality of the Project, or which would otherwise reasonably offend a landlord of the Comparable Buildings (an "Objectionable Name").
32.4.3 The rights contained in this Section 32.4 shall be personal to Original Tenant and its Permitted Transferees, and may only be exercised and maintained by such parties (and not any other assignee, sublessee or other transferee of the Original Tenant's interest in this Lease) to the extent (i) they are not in monetary or material non-monetary default under this Lease (beyond any applicable notice and cure period) and (ii) if they lease the required amounts of space in the Building set forth above (i.e., at least five (5) full floors in the Building with respect to the Building Top Signage, and at least one full floor in the Building, with respect to the monument signage, as applicable).
32.4.4 In the event Tenant vacates the entire Premises for a period of time longer than three (3) months, then Landlord shall have the right upon sixty (60) days' written
notice to Tenant to either remove Tenant's Signage or require Tenant to remove Tenant's Signage. In the event Landlord gives that notice, Tenant's rights to Tenant's Signage shall terminate and Tenant's Signage shall be removed unless Tenant reoccupies at least fifty percent (50%) of the rentable area of the Premises for bona fide purposes of conducting business therein prior to the expiration of that 60-day period.
32.4.5 The costs of the actual signs comprising Tenant's Signage and the installation, design, construction, and any and all other costs associated with Tenant's Signage, including, without limitation, utility charges and hook-up fees, permits, and maintenance and repairs, shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant. Should Tenant's Signage require repairs and/or maintenance, as determined in Landlord's reasonable judgment, Landlord shall have the right to provide notice thereof to Tenant and Tenant (except as set forth above) shall cause such repairs and/or maintenance to be performed within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of such notice from Landlord, at Tenant's sole cost and expense; provided, however, if such repairs and/or maintenance are reasonably expected to require longer than fifteen (15) business days to perform, Tenant shall commence such repairs and/or maintenance within such fifteen (15) business day period and shall diligently prosecute such repairs and maintenance to completion. Should Tenant fail to perform such repairs and/or maintenance within the periods described in the immediately preceding sentence, Landlord shall, upon the delivery of an additional five (5) business days' prior written notice, have the right to cause such work to be performed and to charge Tenant as Additional Rent for the cost of such work. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or the earlier termination of Tenant's signage rights pursuant to this Section 32, Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, cause Tenant's Signage to be removed and shall cause the areas in which such Tenant's Signage was located to be restored to the condition existing immediately prior to the placement of such Tenant's Signage. If Tenant fails to timely remove such Tenant's Signage or to restore the areas in which such Tenant's Signage was located, as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, then Landlord, upon the delivery of an additional five (5) business days' prior written notice, may perform such work, and all actual out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred by Landlord in so performing shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of an invoice therefor. Tenant shall be solely responsible for any damage caused as a result of the Building Top Signage and (i) any additional maintenance costs with respect to the roof arising out of the installation, maintenance, repair, replacement or removal of the Building Top Signage. The provisions of this Section 32.4.5 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES

Tenant shall complete and certify to disclosure statements as requested by Landlord from time to time relating to Tenant's transportation, storage, use, generation, manufacture, or release of Hazardous Materials on the Premises, and Tenant shall promptly deliver to Landlord a copy of any notice of violation relating to the Premises or the Project of any Environmental Requirement.
33.2 The term "Environmental Requirements" means all applicable present and future statutes, regulations, ordinances, rules, codes, judgments, permits, authorizations, orders, policies or other similar requirements of any governmental authority, agency or court regulating or relating to health, safety, or environmental conditions on, under, or about the Premises or the environment, including without limitation, the following: the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act; the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act; the Clean Air Act; the Clean Water Act; the Toxic Substances Control Act and all state and local counterparts thereto; all applicable California requirements, including, but not limited to, Sections 25115, 25117, 25122.7, 25140, 25249.8, 25281, 25316 and 25501 of the California Health and Safety Code and Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations, Division 4.5, Chapter 11, and any policies or rules promulgated thereunder as well as any County or City ordinances that may operate independent of, or in conjunction with, the State programs, and any common or civil law obligations including, without limitation, nuisance or trespass, and any other requirements of Article 3 of this Lease. The term "Hazardous Materials" means and includes any substance, material, waste, pollutant, or contaminant that is or could be regulated under any Environmental Requirement or that may adversely affect human health or the environment, including, without limitation, any solid or hazardous waste, hazardous substance, asbestos, petroleum (including crude oil or any fraction thereof, natural gas, synthetic gas, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and radioactive material). For purposes of Environmental Requirements, to the extent authorized by law, Tenant is and shall be deemed to be the responsible party, including without limitation, the "owner" and "operator" of Tenant's "facility" and the "owner" of all Hazardous Materials brought on the Premises by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees, and the wastes, by-products, or residues generated, resulting, or produced therefrom.
33.3 Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall remove all Hazardous Materials stored, disposed of or otherwise released by Tenant, its assignees, subtenants, agents, employees, contractors or invitees onto or from the Premises, in a manner and to a level satisfactory to Landlord taking into consideration the level and manner which complies with all Environmental Requirements and does not limit any future uses of the Premises or require the recording of any deed restriction or notice regarding the Premises. Tenant shall perform such work at any time during the Term of the Lease upon written request by Landlord or, in the absence of a specific request by Landlord, before Tenant's right to possession of the Premises terminates or expires. If Tenant fails to perform such work within the time period specified by Landlord or before Tenant's right to possession terminates or expires (whichever is earlier), Landlord may at its discretion, and without waiving any other remedy available under this Lease or at law or equity (including without limitation an action to compel Tenant to perform such work), perform such work at Tenant's cost. Tenant shall pay all costs incurred by Landlord in performing such work within ten (10) days after Landlord's request therefor. Such work performed by Landlord is on behalf of Tenant and Tenant
remains the owner, generator, operator, transporter, and/or arranger of the Hazardous Materials for purposes of Environmental Requirements. Tenant agrees not to enter into any agreement with any person, including without limitation any governmental authority, regarding the removal of Hazardous Materials that have been disposed of on the Premises or otherwise released onto or from the Premises without the written approval of Landlord.

The obligations of Tenant under this Article 33 shall survive any termination of this Lease.
33.5 Landlord shall have access to, and a right to perform inspections and tests of, the Premises to determine Tenant's compliance with Environmental Requirements, its obligations under this Article 33, or the environmental condition of the Premises. Access shall be granted to Landlord upon Landlord's prior notice to Tenant and at such times so as to minimize, so far as may be reasonable under the circumstances, any disturbance to Tenant's operations. Such inspections and tests shall be conducted at Landlord's expense, unless such inspections or tests reveal that Tenant has not complied with any Environmental Requirement, in which case Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable cost of such inspection and tests. Landlord's receipt of or satisfaction with any environmental assessment in no way waives any rights that Landlord holds against Tenant. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any communication or report that Tenant makes to any governmental authority regarding any possible violation of Environmental Requirements or release or threat of release of any Hazardous Materials onto or from the Premises. Tenant shall, within five (5) days of receipt thereof, provide Landlord with a copy of any documents or correspondence received from any governmental agency or other party relating to a possible violation of Environmental Requirements or claim or liability associated with the release or threat of release of any Hazardous Materials onto or from the Premises.

Fair Market Rental Value
shall be determined by Landlord considering the most recent new direct leases (and market renewals and extensions, if applicable) in the Building and in Comparable Buildings owned or managed by Landlord in the Market Area. If there are no such direct leases that are recent, consideration shall be given to the most recent new direct leases (and market renewals and extensions, if applicable) in other Comparable Buildings in the Market Area.

(i) Rental abatement concessions, if any, being granted to tenants in connection with the comparable space;
(ii) Tenant improvements or allowances provided or to be provided for the comparable space, taking into account the value of the existing improvements in the Premises, based on the age, quality, and layout of the improvements.
(c) If in determining the Fair Market Rental Value the parties determine that the economic terms of leases of comparable space include a tenant improvement allowance, Landlord may, at Landlord's sole option, elect to do the following:
(i) Grant some or all of the value of the tenant improvement allowance as an allowance for the refurbishment of the Premises; and
(ii) Reduce the Base Rent component of the Fair Market Rental Value to be an effective rental rate that takes into consideration the total dollar value of that portion of the tenant improvement allowance that Landlord has elected not to grant to Tenant (in which case that portion of the tenant improvement allowance evidenced in the effective rental rate shall not be granted to Tenant).
51.3 Determination of Fair Market Rental Value. The determination of Fair Market Rental Value shall be as provided in this Section 51.3.

(iv) One Determination. If Landlord or Tenant fails to make a determination of the Fair Market Rental Value within the five (5) day period, that failure shall be conclusively considered to be that party's approval of the Fair Market Rental Value submitted within the five (5) day period by the other party.
(c) Arbitration. If both parties make timely individual determinations of the Fair Market Rental Value under subsection (b), the Fair Market Rental Value shall be determined by arbitration under this subsection (c).
(i) Scope of Arbitration. The determination of the arbitrators shall be limited to the sole issue of whether Landlord's or Tenant's submitted Fair Market Rental Value is the closest to the actual Fair Market Rental Value as determined by the arbitrators, taking into account the requirements of Section 51.2.
(ii) Qualifications of Arbitrator(s). The arbitrators must be licensed real estate brokers who have been active in the leasing of commercial multi-story properties in the Market Area over the five-year period ending on the date of their appointment as arbitrator(s).

(iv) Appointment of Third Arbitrator. If each party timely appoints an arbitrator, the two (2) arbitrators shall, within ten (10) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator, agree on and appoint a third arbitrator (who shall be qualified under the same criteria set forth above for qualification of the initial two (2) arbitrators) and provide notice to Landlord and Tenant of the arbitrator's name and business address.
(v) Arbitrators' Decision. Within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the third arbitrator, the three (3) arbitrators shall decide whether the parties will use Landlord's or Tenant's submitted Fair Market Rental Value and shall notify Landlord and Tenant of their decision. The decision of the majority the three (3) arbitrators shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant.
(vi) If Only One Arbitrator is Appointed. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after the Outside Agreement Date, the arbitrator timely appointed by one of them shall reach a decision and notify Landlord and Tenant of that decision within thirty (30) days after the arbitrator's appointment. The arbitrator's decision shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant.
(vii) If Only Two Arbitrators Are Appointed. If each party appoints an arbitrator in a timely manner, but the two (2) arbitrators fail to agree on
and appoint a third arbitrator within the required period, the arbitrators shall be dismissed without delay and the issue of Fair Market Rental Value shall be submitted to binding arbitration under the real estate arbitration rules of JAMS, subject to the provisions of this section.
(viii) If No Arbitrator Is Appointed. If Landlord and Tenant each fail to appoint an arbitrator in a timely manner, the matter to be decided shall be submitted without delay to binding arbitration under the real estate arbitration rules of JAMS subject the provisions of this Section 5l.3(c).

ARTICLE 55.
TENANT'S RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
55.1 Landlord hereby grants to Original Tenant or a Permitted Transferee a one-time right of first refusal (the "First Refusal Right") with respect to the space on the 6th floor of the Building (the "First Refusal Space"). Tenant's right of first refusal shall be on the terms and conditions set forth in this Article 55.
55.2 If at any time Landlord receives a good faith written offer (the "Good Faith Offer") to lease any portion of the First Refusal Space which Landlord desires to accept, then, subject to Section 55.8, below, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a written notice (the "First Refusal Notice") setting forth the terms of such Good Faith Offer and providing Tenant with the right to exercise its First Refusal Right as set forth herein. The First Refusal Notice shall describe the space so offered to Tenant and shall set forth the "First Refusal Rent," as that term is defined in Section 55.4 below, and the other economic terms upon which Landlord is willing to lease such space to Tenant (collectively, the "Economic Terms"), which Economic Terms shall be consistent with the terms of the Good Faith Offer.
55.3 If Tenant wishes to exercise its First Refusal Right, then within ten (10) business days of delivery of the First Refusal Notice to Tenant (the "Exercise Period"), Tenant shall deliver notice to Landlord of Tenant's exercise of its First Refusal Right with respect to all of the space described in the First Refusal Notice on the terms contained in such First Refusal Notice with a copy of Tenant's then current financial statements certified as true and correct by an officer of Tenant. If Tenant does not notify Landlord prior to the expiration of the Exercise Period, then Landlord shall be free to lease all or any part of the First Refusal Space describe in the First Refusal Notice to anyone to whom Landlord desires on any terms that Landlord desires.
55.4 The Rent payable by Tenant for the First Refusal Space (the "First Refusal Rent") shall be equal to the Economic Terms set forth in the First Refusal Notice.
55.5 Tenant shall take the First Refusal Space in its "as is" condition, and the construction of improvements in the First Refusal Space shall be performed by Tenant and shall comply with the terms of Article 15 of this Lease.
55.6 If Tenant timely exercises Tenant's right to lease the First Refusal Space as set forth herein, Tenant's exercise shall be binding. Landlord and Tenant shall endeavor to execute within fifteen (15) days thereafter an amendment to this Lease for such First Refusal Space upon the terms and conditions as set forth in the First Refusal Notice and this Article 55, but failure of either Landlord or Tenant to execute that amendment shall not limit the binding nature Tenant's exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord, by written notice to Tenant, within ten (10) days after receipt of Tenant's exercise of its right to lease the First Refusal Space and Tenant's certified financial statements shall have the right to withdraw the First Refusal Notice if Landlord in its sole discretion determines that Tenant's financial condition is not sufficient to support the lease of such First Refusal Space. The term of the First Refusal Space shall commence upon the date of delivery of the First Refusal Space to Tenant (the "First Refusal Commencement Date"), and terminate on the date set forth in the First Refusal Notice (the "First Refusal Term"), subject to the Economic Terms agreed upon for the lease of the First Refusal Space.
55.7 The rights of Tenant contained in this Article 55 shall be personal to the Original Tenant and its Permitted Transferees and may only be exercised by the Original Tenant or its Permitted Transferees (and not any other assignee or any sublessee or other transferee of the Original Tenant's interest in this Lease). Tenant shall not have the right to lease First Refusal Space, as provided in this Article 55, if, as of the date of the attempted exercise of any First Refusal Right by Tenant, or, at Landlord's option, as of the scheduled date of delivery of such First Refusal Space to Tenant, an uncured Event of Default by Tenant exists under this Lease. In addition, Tenant's right to lease each portion of the First Refusal Space shall terminate and be of no further force or effect in the event Tenant fails to lease such portion of the First Refusal Space following Tenant's receipt of a First Refusal Notice from Landlord.
55.8 Landlord shall not be obligated to give a First Refusal Notice, and Tenant shall have no rights under this Lease, with respect to any extension of a lease of the First Refusal Space that existed as of the date of this Lease, whether the extension is pursuant to the terms of that lease or in lieu of the any right to extend contained in that lease.
ARTICLE 56.
LETTER OF CREDIT
LETTER OF CREDIT
56.1 Letter of Credit. No later than October 1, 2011, Tenant shall provide, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, a Letter of Credit (as defined below) in the Letter of Credit Required Amount (as defined in the Basic Lease Information) as additional security for the faithful performance and observance by Tenant of all of the provisions of this Lease, on the terms and conditions set forth below. Tenant's failure to deliver the Letter of Credit by that date shall be an immediate Event of Default under this Lease, without any notice or cure rights. The use, application or retention of the Letter of Credit, or any portion thereof, by Landlord shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided by this Lease or by law, it being intended that Landlord shall not first be required to proceed against the Letter of Credit and the Letter of Credit shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Landlord may otherwise be entitled. As used herein the term "Letter of Credit Required Amount" initially means $2,500,000.00. Subject to the remaining terms of this Article 56, and provided the Reduction Conditions (as defined below) have been satisfied at the particular reduction effective date, Tenant shall have the right to reduce the Required Amount so that the new Required Amount shall be $2,000,000.00 effective as of the first day of the (37th) month of the Term and $1,000,000.00 effective as of the first day of the sixty-first (61st) month of the Term. If Tenant is not entitled to reduce the Required Amount as of a particular reduction effective date due to the failure of one or more of the Reduction Conditions, then any subsequent reduction(s) Tenant is entitled to hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of the reduction Tenant would have been entitled to had all of the Reduction Conditions been satisfied. If Tenant is entitled to a reduction in the Required Amount, Tenant shall provide Landlord with written notice requesting that the Required Amount be reduced as provided above (the "Reduction Notice"). The Reduction Notice must include copies of Tenant's financial statements, including its most recent 10-K filing and 10-Q filings covering at least the 12-month period ending on the most recent completed fiscal quarter prior to the date the Reduction Conditions must be
satisfied (collectively, the "Required Financial Statements") in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant's calculation of EBITDA Margin (as defined below) and the Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined below) based on those Required Financial Statements showing that the applicable Reduction Conditions have been satisfied. If Tenant provides Landlord with a Reduction Notice, and Tenant is entitled to reduce the Required Amount as provided herein, the reduction shall be effectuated by Tenant replacing the Letter of Credit then being held by Landlord with a new Letter of Credit in the new Required Amount or amending the then-existing Letter of Credit to that new Required Amount. The term "Reduction Conditions" means the following conditions which have been satisfied in the Required Financial Statements as determined by Landlord:
(a) | EBITDA Margin for the prior twelve months is not less than 15%. |
(b) | Interest Coverage Ratio for the prior twelve months is not less than 1.6X. |
(c) | No Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Lease. |
As used in this Section 56.1, the following terms shall have the following meanings.
(i)"EBITDA" means Income (Loss) before income taxes plus interest expense plus depreciation and amortization plus any write-downs of goodwill or intangibles, all as disclosed in Tenant's financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America;
(ii) | "EBITDA Margin" means EBITDA as a percentage of Revenue; and |
(iii) | "Interest Coverage Ratio" means (A) EBITDA, divided by (B) interest expense. If |
Tenant makes an acquisition during the period of time for which the Interest Coverage Ratio is being calculated which requires the issuance of additional debt, then the Tenant will also provide a proforma Interest Coverage Ratio calculation which assumes the debt issued for the acquisition was done so at the beginning of the 12 month period for which the Interest Coverage Ratio is being calculated .
56.2 Delivery of Letter of Credit. (a) Tenant shall cause a Letter of Credit, in the amount of the Letter of Credit Required Amount to be issued by the UC Bank (b) Tenant will cause the Letter of Credit to remain in full force and effect during the entire Term and thereafter until thirty (30) days after expiration or earlier termination of the Lease; and (c) the initial Letter of Credit will be delivered to Landlord no later than October 1, 2011. Tenant's failure to deliver the Letter of Credit by that date shall be an immediate Event of Default under this Lease, without any notice or cure rights. Tenant shall provide Landlord with a draft of the Letter of Credit prior to its issuance by the UC Bank, and in no event later than September 20, 2011. So long as no Event of Default then exists, Landlord shall return the Letter of Credit to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the Expiration Date. The specific requirements for the Letter of Credit and the rights of Landlord to make draws thereon will be as set forth in this Article 56. All of Tenant's rights and all of
Landlord's obligations under this Lease are strictly contingent on Tenant's delivering and thereafter causing the Letter of Credit to remain in full force and effect during the entire Term.
56.3 Draws on the Letter of Credit. Immediately upon, and at any time or from time to time after, the occurrence of any one or more Draw Events (as defined below), Landlord will have the unconditional right to draw on the Letter of Credit in accordance with this Article 56. Upon the payment to Landlord of the Draw Proceeds, Landlord will hold the Draw Proceeds in its own name and for its own account, without liability for interest, to use and apply any and all of the Draw Proceeds only (a) to cure any Event of Default by Tenant; (b) to pay any other sum to which Landlord becomes obligated by reason of Tenant's failure to carry out its obligations under this Lease; or (c) to compensate Landlord for any monetary loss or damage which Landlord suffers thereby arising from Tenant's failure to carry out its obligations under this Lease. In addition, if the Draw Event is the failure of Tenant to renew the Letter of Credit as required hereunder, then Landlord shall be entitled to draw the entire Letter of Credit as a cash security deposit, held as a pledge under the California Uniform Commercial Code to secure Tenant's obligations under this Lease. Among other things, it is expressly understood that the Draw Proceeds will not be considered an advance payment of Base Rent or Additional Rent or a measure of Landlord's damages resulting from any Event of Default hereunder (past, present or future). Further, immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any one or more Draw Events, Landlord may, from time to time and without prejudice to any other remedy, use the Draw Proceeds (whether from a contemporaneous or prior draw on the Letter of Credit) to the extent necessary to make good any arrearages of Base Rent or Additional Rent, to pay to Landlord any and all amounts to which Landlord is entitled in connection with the pursuit of any one or more of its remedies hereunder, and to compensate Landlord for any and all other damage, injury, expense or liability caused to Landlord by any and all such Events of Default. Any delays in Landlord's draw on the Letter of Credit or in Landlord's use of the Draw Proceeds as provided in this Article 56 will not constitute a waiver by Landlord of any of its rights hereunder with respect to the Letter of Credit or the Draw Proceeds. Following any such application of the Draw Proceeds, Tenant will either pay to Landlord on demand the cash amount so applied in order to restore the Draw Proceeds to the full amount thereof immediately prior to such application or cause the Letter of Credit to be replenished to its full amount thereunder. Failure to either pay that cash amount or cause the Letter of Credit to be replenished to its full amount thereunder within five (5) business days after that application of the Draw Proceeds shall constitute an Event of Default without the right to any notice or cure period. Landlord will not be liable for any indirect, consequential, special or punitive damages incurred by Tenant arising from a claim that Landlord violated the bankruptcy code's automatic stay in connection with any draw by Landlord of any Draw Proceeds, Landlord's liability (if any) under such circumstances being limited to the reimbursement of direct costs as and to the extent expressly provided in this Section 56.3. Nothing in this Lease or in the Letter of Credit will confer upon Tenant any property rights or interests in any Draw Proceeds; provided, however, that upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, and so long as there then exist no Draw Events or Events of Default hereunder, Landlord agrees to return of any remaining unapplied balance of the Draw Proceeds then held by Landlord to Tenant, and the Letter of Credit itself (if and to the extent not previously drawn in full) to the UC Bank. Landlord may draw on the Letter of Credit and/or apply any Deposit in any order.
56.4 | Applicable Definitions. |
"Draw Event" means each of the following events:

(b) the failure of Tenant, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the stated expiration date of the Letter of Credit then in effect, to cause an extension, renewal or replacement issuance of the Letter of Credit, to be effected, which extension, renewal or replacement issuance will be made by the UC Bank, will otherwise meet all of the requirements of the initial Letter of Credit hereunder, which failure will be an Event of Default under this Lease;
(c) the failure of Tenant to make when due any payment of Base Rent, of any monthly installment of any Additional Rent, or pay any other monetary obligation within seven (7) days after the amount is due; and

"Draw Proceeds" means the proceeds of any draw or draws made by Landlord under the Letter of Credit, together with any and all interest accruing thereon.
“L/C Bank" means, initially, Citibank, N .A., any other United States bank having a credit rating on the date the Letter of Credit is issued that is equal to or better than the credit rating of Citibank, N.A., as of the date of this Lease, or any other United States bank which is approved

56.5 Transfer of Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit shall not be mortgaged, assigned or encumbered in any manner whatsoever by Tenant. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has the right to transfer or mortgage its interest in the Premises and the Building and in this Lease and Tenant agrees that in the event of any such transfer or mortgage, Landlord shall have the right to transfer or assign the Letter of Credit and/or the Draw Proceeds to the transferee or mortgagee, and in such event, Tenant shall look solely to such transferee or mortgagee for return of the Letter of Credit and/or the Draw Proceeds so transferred. Tenant shall pay all fees and charges of the UC Bank with respect to any transfer of the Letter of Credit . Tenant shall, within five (5) business days of request by Landlord, execute such further instruments or assurances as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary to evidence or confirm Landlord's transfer or assignment of the Letter of Credit and/or the Draw Proceeds to such transferee or mortgagee.
56.6 Letter of Credit is Not Security Deposit. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that in no event or circumstance shall the Letter of Credit, any renewal thereof or substitute therefor or the proceeds thereof be (i) deemed to be or treated as a "security deposit" within the meaning of California Civil Code Section 1950.7, (ii) subject to the terms of such Section 1950.7, or (iii) intended to serve as a "security deposit" within the meaning of such Section 1950.7.
