B. The
interior improvements to the Premises will include offices, conference
rooms, manufacturing area, warehouse area, and restrooms, located and
sized as set forth in Exhibit C.
Tenant
will cooperate with Landlord in regard to any needed decisions relating to
the design and construction of the interior improvements. If
Tenant delays any needed decisions or cooperation, and this causes the
delivery of the Premises with interior improvements substantially complete
to be delayed beyond July 1, 2008, all Rent payments hereunder shall
nonetheless commence on that date.
Landlord
warrants for 120 days from delivery of the interior improvements that they
will be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner of new materials, and
will be free from defects in materials and workmanship. Said
warranty applies only to matters of which Landlord is given written notice
within the 120 day warranty period. If timely notified,
Landlord shall promptly make any repairs and/or replacements at its own
cost and expense. Repair/replacement by Landlord is Tenant’s
sole remedy for breach of this warranty. Landlord’s warranty
excludes damages or defects caused by the acts or omissions of
Tenant. Landlord will assign (on a non-exclusive basis until
the expiration of Landlord's warranty), any and all vendor’s and
manufacturer’s warranties applicable to the Premises and the fixtures and
equipment therein to Tenant.
2.4 Delivery and
Acceptance of Possession: If this Lease provides that
Landlord must deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on a certain
date, then if Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the
Premises |
2
LEASE
|
|
to
Tenant on or before such date for any reason whatsoever, this Lease shall
not be void or voidable for a period of 180 days thereafter, and Landlord
shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting
therefrom. Tenant shall accept possession and enter into good
faith occupancy of the entire Premises and commence the operation of its
business therein within 30 days after the Commencement
Date. Tenant acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to
conduct, and has conducted, such inspections of the Premises as it deems
necessary to evaluate its condition. Except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, Tenant agrees to accept possession of the
Premises in its then existing condition, "as-is", including all patent and
latent defects. Except as otherwise specifically provided
herein, Tenant's taking possession of any part of the Premises shall be
deemed to be an acceptance by Tenant of any work of improvement done by
Landlord in such part as complete and in accordance with the terms of this
Lease except for defects of which Tenant has given Landlord written notice
prior to the time Tenant takes possession or within one hundred
twenty (120) days thereafter. At the time Landlord
delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant, Landlord and Tenant shall
together execute an acceptance agreement in the form attached as Exhibit D,
appropriately completed. Landlord shall have no obligation to
deliver possession, nor shall Tenant be entitled to take occupancy, of the
Premises until such acceptance agreement has been executed, and Tenant's
obligation to pay Base Monthly Rent and Additional Rent shall not be
excused or delayed because of Tenant's failure to execute such acceptance
agreement.
2.5 Early
Occupancy: Starting as soon as feasible on
or after June 1, 2008, Landlord will make reasonable efforts to make
selected portions of the Premises available for Tenant to move in its
furniture, fixtures, and equipment. The time from the first
such occupancy to the Commencement Date shall be referred to as the “Early
Occupancy Period.”
Landlord will provide such
portions of the Premises when they can reasonably be provided within
Landlord’s construction schedule, and without disturbing Landlord’s
construction progress. Tenant understands and agrees that the
space to be made available will largely or entirely be space identified on
the plans as “manufacturing” or “warehouse”, and that the portions of the
Premises which Landlord is finishing as office and meeting space will
likely be the last completed and the least available prior to July 1,
2008. Although Landlord will make reasonable efforts to make
space available, both parties understand that Landlord is on a tight
construction schedule to meet all of Tenant’s needs, and that such may not
allow for as much availability of space or as early availability, as
needed by Tenant, and it is understood and agreed that Landlord shall not
under any circumstances have any liability to Tenant for holdover rent
paid by tenant or any other form of damages suffered by Tenant in regard
to any failure to provide space prior to the Commencement
Date.
Occupancy during the Early
Occupancy Period shall be subject to all of the terms, covenants and
conditions of the Lease provided, however, that the Rent shall not be
charged nor payable during the Early Occupancy Period, so long as Tenant
does not commence operations in the Premises (i.e., begin stationing
employees in the Premises for their regular |
work,
as opposed to a move-in function). Once operations are
commenced, however, Tenant will commence to make all payments required
hereunder, and in such event, the “Commencement Date” shall be moved up
from July 1, 2008 to the date on which Tenant commences
operations. The Expiration Date of the Lease shall remain the
same, however, notwithstanding this earlier Commencement
Date.
Prior to entering for Early
Occupancy, Tenant will provide Landlord with documentation of insurance
required under the Lease. All indemnity obligations of the
parties will apply to the Early Occupancy Period.
Tenant agrees to and will
cooperate with construction personnel completing the interior improvements
in the Premises and not to cause any delay in the completion of these
improvements. Any delay in construction caused
by Tenant’s early occupancy of the Premises will not delay the
Commencement Date.
Tenant waives any claims, and
will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Landlord against any claims of
injury or death to person or damage to property resulting from Tenant’s
entry into the Premises prior to the completion of Landlord’s construction
work.

RENT
3.1 Base Monthly
Rent: Commencing on the Commencement Date and continuing
throughout the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Base Monthly
Rent set forth in Section K of
the Summary.
3.2 Additional
Rent: Commencing on the Commencement Date and continuing
throughout the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay the following as additional
rent (the "Additional Rent"): (i) any late charges or interest due
Landlord pursuant to §3.4;
(ii) Tenant's Share of Common Operating Expenses as provided in §8.1;
(iii) Landlord's share of any Subrent received by Tenant upon certain
assignments and sublettings as required by §14.1;
(iv) any legal fees and costs due Landlord pursuant to §15.9;
and (v) any other charges due Landlord pursuant to this
Lease.
3.3 Payment of
Rent: Concurrently with the execution of this Lease by
both parties, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount set forth in Section L of
the Summary as prepayment of rent for credit against the first
installment(s) of Base Monthly Rent. All rent required to be
paid in monthly installments shall be paid in advance on the first day of
each calendar month during the Lease Term. If Section K of
the Summary provides that the Base Monthly Rent is to be increased during
the Lease Term and if the date of such increase does not fall on the first
day of a calendar month, such increase shall become effective on the first
day of the next calendar month. All rent shall be paid in
lawful money of the United States, without any abatement, deduction or
offset whatsoever (except as specifically provided in §11.4
and §12.3),
and without any prior demand therefor. Rent shall be paid to
Landlord at its address set forth in Section Q of
the Summary, or at such other place as Landlord may designate from time to
time. Tenant's obligation to pay Base Monthly Rent and Tenant's
Share of Common Operating Expenses shall be prorated at the commencement
and expiration |
3
LEASE
|
|
of
the Lease Term.
3.4 Late Charge and
Interest on Rent in Default: If any Base Monthly Rent or
Additional Rent is not received by Landlord from Tenant within ten (10)
calendar days after Landlord has notified Tenant in writing that payment
of such rent has not been received by Landlord, then Tenant shall
immediately pay to Landlord a late charge equal to 5% of such delinquent
rent as liquidated damages for Tenant's failure to make timely
payment. In no event shall this provision for a late charge be
deemed to grant to Tenant a grace period or extension of time within which
to pay any rent or prevent Landlord from exercising any right or remedy
available to Landlord upon Tenant's failure to pay any rent due under this
Lease in a timely fashion, including any right to terminate this Lease
pursuant to §13.2C. If
any rent remains delinquent for a period in excess of 30 days then, in
addition to such late charge, Tenant shall pay to Landlord interest on any
rent that is not paid when due at the Agreed Interest Rate following the
date such amount became due until paid.
3.5 Security
Deposit: On the Effective Date, Tenant shall deposit
with Landlord the amount set forth in Section M of
the Summary as security for the performance by Tenant of its obligations
under this Lease, and not as prepayment of rent (the "Security
Deposit"). Landlord may from time to time apply such portion of
the Security Deposit as is reasonably necessary for the following
purposes: (i) to remedy any default by Tenant in the payment of rent or
any other sum due from Tenant to Landlord; (ii) to repair damage to the
Premises caused by Tenant; (iii) to clean the Premises upon termination of
the Lease; and (iv) to remedy any other default of Tenant to the extent
permitted by Law and, in this regard, Tenant hereby waives any restriction
on the uses to which the Security Deposit may be put contained in
California Civil Code Section 1950.7. In the event the Security
Deposit or any portion thereof is so used, Tenant agrees to pay to
Landlord promptly upon demand (not later than seven (7) days after such
demand is made) an amount in cash sufficient to restore the Security
Deposit to the full original amount (or at Tenant’s election, to increase
the letter of credit used as a Security Deposit to the requisite
amount. Landlord shall not be deemed a trustee of the Security
Deposit, may use the Security Deposit in business, and shall not be
required to segregate it from its general accounts. Tenant
shall not be entitled to any interest on the Security
Deposit. If Landlord transfers the Premises during the Lease
Term, Landlord may pay the Security Deposit to any transferee of
Landlord's interest in conformity with the provisions of California Civil
Code Section 1950.7 and/or any successor statute, in which event the
transferring Landlord will be released from all liability for the return
of the Security Deposit. The Security Deposit is not an advance
payment of Rent or a measure or limit of Landlord’s damages upon an Event
of Default. If Tenant (a) has not committed any Event of
Tenant’s Default under the Lease, nor any act which, with the passage of
time or the giving of notice or both would be an Event of Tenant’s
Default: and (b) Tenant has achieved two consecutive fiscal quarters
wherein Tenant’s reviewed and publicly available income and expense
statement shows a positive net income as determined according
to generally accepted accounting principals, consistently applied, as
reviewed by Tenant’s certified public accountants, the letter of credit or
cash security deposit, as the case may be, shall
be |
reduced
to the amount of the base rent for the last month of the Lease
Term. If Landlord is holding a cash deposit, Landlord shall
refund the balance of the Security Deposit to Tenant, or if Landlord is
holding a letter of credit, Landlord shall authorize the bank on which the
letter of credit is drawn to reduce the amount of the letter of credit, in
either case within fifteen (15) days after Tenant makes written request
for such refund/reduction, accompanied by adequate proof that the above
standards have been achieved. Under no circumstances shall the
Security Deposit be less than the base rent for the last month of the
Lease Term.
3.6 Optional Use of Letter
of Credit. In lieu of a cash deposit in
satisfaction of all or any part of the Security Deposit required by the
Lease, Tenant may provide all or any portion of the Security Deposit, at
Tenant's sole cost and option, by way of the deposit of an irrevocable
letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) in favor of Landlord, to be
held, applied, and returned subject to the provisions of this Lease and
the following additional provisions.
A. Terms. The
Letter of Credit shall be: (i) for an initial term which ends at least one
(1) year after the Commencement Date and shall provide on its face that it
will be automatically renewed unless the bank on which it is drawn gives
written notice to Landlord at least thirty (30) days before expiration
that it will not be renewed; (ii) drawn upon a local commercial bank
reasonably acceptable to Landlord and payable when presented at a location
within Santa Xxxxx County, California; (iii) in an amount elected by
Tenant (provided that if the amount is less than the total Security
Deposit, Tenant provides the remainder by a cash deposit); (iv) in a form
satisfactory to Landlord in Landlord’s sole discretion; and (v) drafted
such that it may be drawn on by Landlord solely upon submission of a
written certification of Landlord that there exists an Event of Tenant's
Default (as defined in this Lease), that Tenant has not cured such Event
of Tenant’s Default, and that the amount drawn on the Letter of Credit is
the net amount due Landlord as a result of such Event of Tenant’s
Default. The Letter of Credit shall (vi) name Landlord
(or Landlord’s agent, as Landlord shall direct) as beneficiary; and (vii)
allow Landlord to make partial and multiple draws thereunder up to the
face amount, as determined by Landlord.
B. Keeping Letter of
Credit In Force. Unless and solely to the extent
that Tenant elects to and does replace part or all of the Letter of Credit
with a further cash deposit, Tenant shall keep the Letter of Credit in
effect during the entire Lease term plus a period of sixty (60) days
thereafter.
C. Notice of Cancellation
of Letter of Credit. If the bank on which the
Letter of Credit is drawn gives written notice that the Letter of Credit
will not be renewed, this shall be deemed an Event of Tenant's Default
under this Lease, without Landlord being required to give any notice or
opportunity to cure. Upon such an Event of Tenant’s Default,
Landlord shall be immediately entitled to draw all of the funds available
under the Letter of Credit; provided, that Landlord shall give Tenant five
(5) days written notice of its intent to draw the Letter of Credit because
of non-renewal, and shall not draw on the Letter of Credit for this
particular Event of Tenant’s Default if, within such five (5) day period,
Tenant cures such Event of Tenant’s Default by renewing or replacing the
Letter of |
4
LEASE
|
|
Credit
with another meeting all the requirements hereof and providing
documentation thereof as required hereunder or providing a cash security
deposit in the amount of the required Security Deposit, or some
combination of the two, in each event sufficient to restore the Security
Deposit to the amount set forth herein as required at that
time.
D. Expiration of Letter
of Credit. If Tenant shall allow the Letter of
Credit to expire at any time when it is required to be maintained
hereunder, this shall constitute an independent Event of Tenant’s Default,
without Landlord being required to give any notice or formal opportunity
to cure (but reserving the Tenant’s right, prior to the time Landlord
takes action on the Event of Tenant’s Default, to cure it by putting up
some combination of letter of credit and cash sufficient to restore the
Security Deposit to the amount set forth herein as required at that
time).
E. Failure to Replenish
Cash Security Deposit. Tenant's failure to replenish any cash
Security Deposit which is applied by Landlord, within ten (10) days after
notice that it has been applied, shall be an immediate independent and
separate Event of Tenant's Default, without further notice or opportunity
to cure, which shall entitle Landlord to resort to and draw
on the Letter of Credit to replenish the cash portion of the
Security Deposit.
F. Effect of Draw on
Letter of Credit. When a draw is made on the
Letter of Credit, the sum received shall become and remain a part of the
Security Deposit until and unless applied by Landlord pursuant to the
provisions of the Lease. Any proceeds received by Landlord by
drawing upon the Letter of Credit shall be applied in accordance with the
provisions of this Lease relating to the Security
Deposit. Tenant waives the provisions of California Code
§1950.7 (which restricts application of a security deposit only to those
sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of rent, to
repair damage caused by Tenant, or to clean premises) and all similar Laws
now in force or subsequently adopted which restrict application of
security deposits to specific purposes.
G. Replenishing Security
Deposit After Draw. If Landlord draws upon the Letter of Credit,
Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after receiving notice of such draw,
provide Landlord with an increased cash Security Deposit or a further
Letter of Credit (which meets all requirements hereof) in the amount of
the draw. Failure to do so shall constitute an independent and
separate Event of Tenant’s Default without notice or opportunity to
cure.
H. Transfer of Premises
by Landlord. If Landlord transfers the Premises
during the Lease Term, and if a Letter of Credit is still posted as part
of the Security Deposit, Tenant agrees to take such actions as are
necessary to have the Letter of Credit redrawn in favor of the new owner
of the Premises, at Tenant's sole cost and expense.
I. Transfer of Lease by
Tenant. If there is any Transfer of the Lease by
Tenant (as defined herein), Tenant shall take such action, at Tenant’s
sole cost and expense, as Landlord shall reasonably request in writing to
cause the Letter of Credit to be reissued or amended or otherwise handled
such that Landlord’s interests are protected, and Landlord may reasonably
make |
compliance
with this provision a condition of Landlord’s approval of a
Transfer.
J. Payment of Landlord’s
Costs and Expenses. All additional costs and expenses
incurred by Landlord in regard to the Letter of Credit, including but not
limited to any reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by Landlord in the
administration of this Paragraph, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord as
Additional Rent within ten (10) days after Landlord provides its written
invoice for such costs and expenses. It is the intent of the
parties that the use of a Letter of Credit should not increase Landlord’s
expenses or obligations at any time, in any way.
K. Lender’s
Rights. At Landlord’s option, Landlord may require
that the Letter of Credit be made in favor of Landlord’s Lender, directly
or conditionally, in order to satisfy Landlord’s Lender’s
requirements. If any Lender requires that the Letter of Credit
be in favor of Lender or otherwise demands changes in the Letter of
Credit, at any time, Tenant agrees that it will, at its sole cost and
expense, cause the Letter of Credit to be so reissued or amended that this
is accomplished, or if unable to accomplish same within thirty (30) days,
to replace the Letter of Credit with an equal amount of cash Security
Deposit.

Premises or the Project any sale of any kind, including any public or
private auction, fire sale, going out-of-business sale, distress sale or
other liquidation sale. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease
to the contrary but conditioned upon the accuracy of the last sentence of
this Section 4.1 and subject to Landlord’s obligations under Section 6.2
below, as between Landlord and Tenant: (a) Tenant shall bear the risk of
complying with Title III of the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990,
any state laws governing handicapped access or architectural barriers, and
all rules, regulations, and guidelines promulgated under such laws, as
amended from time to time (the “Disabilities Acts”) in the Premises; and
(b) Landlord shall bear the risk of complying with the Disabilities Acts
in the Common Areas (subject to reimbursement as set forth in Article 8,
other than compliance that is necessitated by the use of the Premises for
other than the Permitted Use or as a result of any alterations or
additions made by Tenant (which risk and responsibility shall be borne by
Tenant). Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and
Landlord’s Agents and associated parties from and against any and all
claims which result from Tenant’s failure to comply with its obligations
under this Paragraph. Landlord hereby represents and warrants
that the Premises, as of the Lease Reference Date and as of the
Commencement Date (after completion of the improvements contemplated by
Section 2.3), fully complies with the Disabilities Acts as in effect on
those dates according to the interpretation and approval of the City of
Milpitas.
4.2 Compliance with
Regulations: Tenant shall not use the Premises in any
manner which violates any Laws or Private Restrictions which affect the
Premises. Tenant shall abide by and promptly observe and comply
with all Laws and Private Restrictions. Tenant shall not use
the Premises in any manner which will cause a cancellation of any
insurance policy covering Tenant's Alternations or any improvements
installed by Landlord at its expense or which poses an unreasonable risk
of damage or injury to the Premises. Tenant shall not sell, or
permit to be kept, used, or sold in or about the Premises any article
which may be prohibited by the standard form of fire insurance

purpose and have been approved in writing by Landlord for such use by
Tenant.
4.4 Signs: Tenant
shall not place on any portion of the Premises any sign, placard,
lettering in or on windows, banner, displays or other advertising or
communicative material which is visible from the |
exterior
of the Building without the prior written approval of
Landlord. All such approved signs shall strictly conform to all
Laws, Private Restrictions, and shall be installed at the expense of
Tenant. Tenant shall maintain such signs in good condition and
repair. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall designate
and approve a location on the Premises for one (1) monument sign for
Tenant. The size, design and graphics of any permitted signage
shall be subject to Landlord’s approval and compliance with Landlord’s
signage program for the three adjacent buildings owned by Landlord, and

maintenance and ultimate removal shall be the responsibility of
Tenant. Tenant shall remove the sign at the expiration or
earlier termination of the Lease, if Landlord shall so request at any time

4.5 Parking: Tenant

than the number so allocated to Tenant or park its vehicles or the
vehicles of others in any portion of the Project not designated by
Landlord as a non-exclusive parking area. Tenant shall not have the
exclusive right to use any specific parking space. If Landlord
grants to any other tenant the exclusive right to use any particular
parking space(s), Tenant shall not use such spaces. Landlord
reserves the right, after having given Tenant reasonable notice, to have
any vehicles owned by Tenant or Tenant's Agents utilizing parking spaces
in excess of the parking spaces allowed for Tenant's use to be towed away
at Tenant's cost. All trucks and delivery vehicles shall be (i)
parked at the rear of the Building, (ii) loaded and unloaded in a manner
which does not interfere with the businesses of other occupants of the

parking in the Project, whether by validation of parking tickets or any
other method of assessment, Tenant agrees to participate in such
validation or assessment program under such reasonable rules and
regulations as are from time to time established by Landlord.
4.6 Rules and
Regulations: Landlord may from time to time promulgate
reasonable and nondiscriminatory rules and regulations applicable to all
occupants of the Project for the care and orderly management of the
Project and the safety of its tenants and invitees. Such rules
and regulations shall be binding upon Tenant upon delivery of a copy
thereof to Tenant, and Tenant agrees to abide by such rules and
regulations. If there is a conflict between the rules and
regulations and any of the provisions of this Lease, the provisions of
this Lease shall prevail. Landlord shall not be responsible for
the violation by any other tenant of the Project of any such rules and
regulations.

TRADE FIXTURES AND
ALTERATIONS
5.1 Trade

required in the conduct of its business in the Premises. All
Trade |
6
LEASE
|
|
Fixtures
shall remain Tenant's property.
5.2 Tenant's
Alterations: Construction by Tenant of Tenant's
Alterations shall be governed by the following:
A. Tenant
shall not construct any Tenant's Alterations or otherwise alter the
Premises without Landlord's prior written approval. Tenant
shall be entitled, without Landlord's prior approval, to make Tenant's
Alterations (i) which do not affect the structural or exterior parts or
water tight character of the Building, and (ii) the reasonably estimated
cost of which, plus the original cost of any part of the Premises removed
or materially altered in connection with such Tenant's Alterations,
together do not exceed the Permitted Tenant Alterations Limit specified in
Section O
of the Summary per work of improvement. In the event Landlord's
approval for any Tenant's Alterations is required, Tenant shall not
construct the Leasehold Improvement until Landlord has approved in writing
the plans and specifications therefore, and such Tenant's Alterations
shall be constructed substantially in compliance with such approved plans
and specifications by a licensed contractor first approved by
Landlord. All Tenant's Alterations constructed by Tenant shall
be constructed by a licensed contractor in accordance with all Laws using
new materials of good quality.
B. Tenant
shall not commence construction of any Tenant's Alterations until (i) all
required governmental approvals and permits have been obtained, (ii) all
requirements regarding insurance imposed by this Lease have been
satisfied, (iii) Tenant has given Landlord at least five days' prior
written notice of its intention to commence such construction, and (iv) if
reasonably requested by Landlord, Tenant has obtained contingent liability
and broad form builders' risk insurance in an amount reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord if there are any perils relating to the proposed
construction not covered by insurance carried pursuant to Article
9.
C. All
Tenant's Alterations shall remain the property of Tenant during the Lease
Term but shall not be altered or removed from the Premises. At
the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term, all Tenant's
Alterations shall be surrendered to Landlord as part of the realty and
shall then become Landlord's property, and Landlord shall have no
obligation to reimburse Tenant for all or any portion of the value or cost
thereof; provided, however, that if Landlord requires Tenant to remove any
Tenant's Alterations, Tenant shall so remove such Tenant's Alterations
prior to the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease
Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be
obligated to remove any Tenant's Alterations with respect to which the
following is true: (i) Tenant was required, or elected, to obtain the
approval of Landlord to the installation of the Leasehold Improvement in
question; (ii) at the time Tenant requested Landlord's approval, Tenant
requested of Landlord in writing that Landlord inform Tenant of whether or
not Landlord would require Tenant to remove such Leasehold Improvement at
the expiration of the Lease Term; and (iii) at the time Landlord granted
its approval, it did not inform Tenant that it would require Tenant to
remove such Leasehold Improvement at the expiration of the Lease
Term.
5.3 Alterations Required
by Law: Tenant shall make any alteration, addition or
change of any sort to the |
Premises
that is required by any Law because of (i) Tenant's particular use or
change of use of the Premises; (ii) Tenant's application for any permit or
governmental approval; or (iii) Tenant's construction or installation of
any Tenant's Alterations or Trade Fixtures. Any other
alteration, addition, or change required by Law which is not the
responsibility of Tenant pursuant to the foregoing shall be made by
Landlord (subject to Landlord's right to reimbursement from Tenant
specified in §5.4).
5.4 Amortization of
Certain Capital Improvements: Tenant
shall pay Additional Rent in the event Landlord reasonably elects or is
required to make any of the following kinds of capital improvements to the
Project and the cost thereof is not reimbursable as a Common Operating
Expense: (i) capital improvements required to be constructed in order to
comply with any Law (excluding any Hazardous Materials Law) not in effect
or applicable to the Project as of the Effective Date; (ii) modification
of existing or construction of additional capital improvements or building
service equipment for the purpose of reducing the consumption of utility
services or Common Operating Expenses of the Project; (iii) replacement of
capital improvements or building service equipment existing as of the
Effective Date when required because of normal wear and tear; and (iv)
restoration of any part of the Project that has been damaged by any peril
to the extent the cost thereof is not covered by insurance proceeds
actually recovered by Landlord up to a maximum amount per occurrence of
10% of the then replacement cost of the Project. The amount of
Additional Rent Tenant is to pay with respect to each such capital
improvement shall be determined as follows:
A. All
costs paid by Landlord to construct such improvements (including financing
costs) shall be amortized over the useful life of such improvement (as
reasonably determined by Landlord in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles) with interest on the unamortized balance at the
then prevailing market rate Landlord would pay if it borrowed funds to
construct such improvements from an institutional lender, and Landlord
shall inform Tenant of the monthly amortization payment required to so
amortize such costs, and shall also provide Tenant with the information
upon which such determination is made.
B. As
Additional Rent, Tenant shall pay at the same time the Base Monthly Rent
is due an amount equal to Tenant's Share of that portion of such monthly
amortization payment fairly allocable to the Building (as reasonably
determined by Landlord) for each month after such improvements are

REPAIR AND
MAINTENANCE
6.1 Tenant's Obligation to
Maintain: Except as otherwise provided in §6.2,
§11.1,
and §12.3,
Tenant shall be responsible for the following during the Lease Term
(provided, however, that any items which are stated to be Tenant’s
responsibility under this Section 6.1 where replacement is required and
which replacement is a capital expense under generally accepted accounting
principles, and where the need for such replacement did not result from
Tenant’s failure to carry out its maintenance and repair duties under this
Lease, will be replaced by Landlord rather than Tenant and will be
amortized as set forth in Section 5.4 and Tenant will pay the amortized
cost thereof during the Term as set forth in Section 5.4):
A.
Tenant shall clean and maintain in good order, condition, and repair and
replace when necessary the Premises and every part thereof, through
regular inspections and servicing, including, but not limited to: (i) all
plumbing and sewage facilities (including all sinks, toilets, faucets and
drains), and all ducts, pipes, vents or other parts of the HVAC or
plumbing system; (ii) all fixtures, interior walls, floors, carpets and
ceilings; (iii) all windows, doors, entrances, plate glass, showcases and
skylights (including cleaning both interior and exterior surfaces); (iv)
all electrical facilities and all equipment (including all lighting
fixtures, lamps, bulbs, tubes, fans, vents, exhaust equipment and
systems); and (v) any automatic fire extinguisher equipment in the
Premises
B. With
respect to utility facilities serving the Premises (including electrical
wiring and conduits, gas lines, water pipes, and plumbing and sewage
fixtures and pipes), Tenant shall be responsible for the maintenance and
repair of any such facilities which serve only the Premises, including all
such facilities that are within the walls or floor, or on the roof of the
Premises, and any part of such facility that is not within the Premises,
but only up to the point where such facilities join a main or other
junction (e.g., sewer main or electrical transformer) from which such
utility services are distributed to other parts of the Project as well as
to the Premises. Tenant shall replace any damaged or broken
glass in the Premises (including all interior and exterior doors and
windows) with glass of the same kind, size and quality. Tenant
shall repair any damage to the Premises (including exterior doors and
windows) caused by vandalism or any unauthorized entry.
C.
Tenant shall (i) maintain, repair and replace when necessary all HVAC
equipment which services only the Premises, and shall keep the same in
good |
condition
through regular inspection and servicing, and (ii) maintain continuously
throughout the Lease Term a service contract for the maintenance of all
such HVAC equipment with a licensed HVAC repair and maintenance contractor
approved by Landlord, which contract provides for the periodic inspection
and servicing of the HVAC equipment at least once every 60 days during the
Lease Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may elect
at any time to assume responsibility for the maintenance, repair and
replacement of such HVAC equipment which serves only the
Premises. Tenant shall maintain continuously throughout the
Lease Term a service contract for the washing of all windows (both
interior and exterior surfaces) in the Premises with a contractor approved
by Landlord, which contract provides for the periodic washing of all such
windows at least once every 6 months during the Lease
Term. Upon Landlord’s written request, Tenant shall furnish
Landlord with copies of all such service contracts, which shall provide
that they may not be cancelled or changed without at least 30 days' prior
written notice to Landlord, and shall provide Landlord with the written
inspection report(s) upon written request by Landlord.
D. All
repairs and replacements required of Tenant shall be promptly made with
new materials of like kind and quality. If the work affects the
structural parts of the Building or if the estimated cost of any item of
repair or replacement is in excess of the Permitted Tenant's Alterations
Limit, then Tenant shall first obtain Landlord's written approval of the
scope of the work, plans therefore, materials to be used, and the
contractor.
E. It
is understood that mold spores are present essentially everywhere and that
mold can grow in any moist location. To prevent mold as best
possible, requires prevention of moisture and good housekeeping and
ventilation practices. Tenant acknowledges the necessity of
housekeeping, ventilation, and moisture control (especially in kitchens,
janitor’s closets, bathrooms, break rooms and around outside walls) for
mold prevention, all to be conducted by Tenant. In signing this
Lease, Tenant has first inspected the Premises and certifies that it has
not observed mold, mildew or moisture within the
Premises. Tenant agrees to immediately notify Landlord if it
observes mold/mildew and/or moisture conditions (from any source,
including leaks), and allow Landlord to evaluate and make recommendations
and/or take appropriate corrective action if required
hereunder. Tenant relieves Landlord from any liability for any
bodily injury or damages to property or any other damage whatsoever caused
by, alleged to be caused by, or associated with moisture or the growth of
or occurrence of mold or mildew on the Premises. In addition,
execution of this Lease constitutes acknowledgement by Tenant that control
of moisture and mold prevention are integral to its Lease
obligations.
6.2 Landlord'’s Obligation
to Maintain: Landlord shall repair, maintain and operate
the Common Area and repair and maintain the roof, exterior and structural
parts of the building(s) located on the Project so that the same are kept
in good order and repair. If there is central HVAC or other
building service equipment and/or utility facilities serving portions of
the Common Area and/or both the Premises and other parts of the Building,
Landlord shall maintain and operate (and replace when necessary) such
equipment. Landlord |
8
LEASE
|
|
shall
not be responsible for repairs required by an accident, fire or other
peril or for damage caused to any part of the Project by any act or
omission of Tenant or Tenant's Agents except as otherwise required by
Article 11. Landlord may engage contractors of its choice to
perform the obligations required of it by this Article, and the necessity
of any expenditure to perform such obligations shall be at the sole
discretion of Landlord.
6.3 Control of Common
Area: Landlord shall at all times have exclusive control
of the Common Area. Landlord shall have the right, without the
same constituting an actual or constructive eviction and without entitling
Tenant to any abatement of rent, to: (i) close any part of the Common Area
to whatever extent required in the opinion of Landlord's counsel to
prevent a dedication thereof or the accrual of any prescriptive rights
therein; (ii) temporarily close the Common Area to perform maintenance or
for any other reason deemed sufficient by Landlord; (iii) change the
shape, size, location and extent of the Common Area; (iv) eliminate from
or add to the Project any land or improvement, including multi-deck
parking structures; (v) make changes to the Common Area including, without
limitation, changes in the location of driveways, entrances, passageways,
doors and doorways, elevators, stairs, restrooms, exits, parking spaces,
parking areas, sidewalks or the direction of the flow of traffic and the
site of the Common Area; (vi) remove unauthorized persons from the
Project; and/or (vii) change the name or address of the Building or
Project. Tenant shall keep the Common Area clear of all
obstructions created or permitted by Tenant. If in the opinion
of Landlord unauthorized persons are using any of the Common Area by
reason of the presence of Tenant in the Building, Tenant, upon demand of
Landlord, shall restrain such unauthorized use by appropriate
proceedings. In exercising any such rights regarding the Common
Area, (i) Landlord shall make a reasonable effort to minimize any
disruption to Tenant's business, and (ii) Landlord shall not exercise its
rights to control the Common Area in a manner that would materially
interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises without first obtaining
Tenant's consent. Landlord shall have no obligation to provide
guard services or other security measures for the benefit of the
Project. Tenant assumes all responsibility for the protection
of Tenant and Tenant's Agents from acts of third parties; provided,
however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent Landlord, at its sole
option, from providing security measures for the Project.

WASTE DISPOSAL AND
UTILITIES
7.1 Waste
Disposal: Tenant shall store its waste either inside the
Premises or within outside trash enclosures that are fully fenced and
screened in compliance with all Private Restrictions, and designed for
such purpose. All entrances to such outside trash enclosures
shall be kept closed, and waste shall be stored in such manner as not to
be visible from the exterior of such outside enclosures. Tenant
shall cause all of its waste to be regularly removed from the Premises at
Tenant's sole cost. Tenant shall keep all fire corridors and
mechanical equipment rooms in the Premises free and clear of all
obstructions at all times.
7.2 Hazardous
Materials: Tenant acknowledges receipt of Landlord’s
environmental study by XXXXX |
International,
Inc. dated December 5, 2006, as Landlord’s disclosure of the environmental
condition of the Property. Landlord and Tenant agree as follows
with respect to the existence or use of Hazardous Materials on the
Project:
A. Any handling,
transportation, storage, treatment, disposal or use of Hazardous Materials
by Tenant and Tenant's Agents after the Effective Date in or about the
Project shall strictly comply with all applicable Hazardous Materials
Laws. Tenant shall indemnify, defend upon demand with counsel
reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and hold harmless Landlord from and
against any liabilities, losses, claims, damages, lost profits,
consequential damages, interest, penalties, fines, monetary sanctions,
attorneys' fees, experts' fees, court costs, remediation costs,
investigation costs, and other expenses which result from or arise in any
manner whatsoever out of the use, storage, treatment, transportation,
release, or disposal of Hazardous Materials on or about the Project by
Tenant or Tenant's Agents after the Effective Date.
B. If
the presence of Hazardous Materials on the Project caused or permitted by
Tenant or Tenant's Agents after the Effective Date results in
contamination or deterioration of water or soil resulting in a level of
contamination greater than the levels established as acceptable by any
governmental agency having jurisdiction over such contamination, then
Tenant shall promptly take any and all action necessary to investigate and
remediate such contamination if required by Law or as a condition to the
issuance or continuing effectiveness of any governmental approval which
relates to the use of the Project or any part thereof. Tenant
shall further be solely responsible for, and shall defend, indemnify and
hold Landlord and its agents harmless from and against, all claims, costs
and liabilities, including attorneys' fees and costs, arising out of or in
connection with any investigation and remediation required hereunder to
return the Project to its condition existing prior to the appearance of
such Hazardous Materials.
C. Landlord and Tenant
shall each give written notice to the other as soon as reasonably
practicable of (i) any communication received from any governmental
authority concerning Hazardous Materials which relates to the Project, and
(ii) any contamination of the Project by Hazardous Materials which
constitutes a violation of any Hazardous Materials Law. Tenant
may use small quantities of household chemicals such as adhesives,
lubricants, and cleaning fluids in order to conduct its business at the
Premises and such other Hazardous Materials as are necessary for the
operation of Tenant's business of which Landlord receives notice prior to
such Hazardous Materials being brought onto the Premises and which
Landlord consents in writing may be brought onto the
Premises. At any time during the Lease Term, Tenant shall,
within five days after written request therefor received from Landlord,
disclose in writing all Hazardous Materials that are being used by Tenant
on the Project, the nature of such use, and the manner of storage and
disposal.
D Landlord may cause
testing xxxxx to be installed on the Project, and may cause the ground
water to be tested to detect the presence of Hazardous Material by the use
of such tests as are then customarily used for such
purposes. If Tenant so requests,
Landlord |
9
LEASE
|
|
shall
supply Tenant with copies of such test results. The cost of
such tests and of the installation, maintenance, repair and replacement of
such xxxxx shall be paid by Tenant if such tests disclose the existence of
facts which give rise to liability of Tenant pursuant to its indemnity
given in §7.2A
and/or §7.2B.
E. As used herein, the
term "Hazardous Material," means any hazardous or toxic substance,
material or waste which is or becomes regulated by any local governmental
authority, the State of California or the United States
Government. The term "Hazardous Material," includes, without
limitation, petroleum products, asbestos, PCB's, and any material or
substance which is (i) listed under Article 9 or defined as hazardous or
extremely hazardous pursuant to Article 11 of Title 22 of the California
Administrative Code, Division 4, Chapter 20, (ii) defined as a "hazardous
waste" pursuant to Section 1004 of the Federal Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq. (42 U.S.C. 6903), or (iii) defined as
a "hazardous substance" pursuant to Section 101 of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response; Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. 9601 et
seq. (42 U.S.C. 9601). As used herein, the term "Hazardous
Material Law" shall mean any statute, law, ordinance, or regulation of any
governmental body or agency (including the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, and the
California Department of Health Services) which regulates the use,
storage, release or disposal of any Hazardous Material.
F. The obligations of
Landlord and Tenant under this §7.2
shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease
Term. The rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant with
respect to issues relating to Hazardous Materials are exclusively
established by this §7.2. In
the event of any inconsistency between any other part of this Lease and
this §7.2,
the terms of this §7.2
shall control.
7.3 Utilities: Tenant
shall promptly pay, as the same become due, all charges for water, gas,
electricity, telephone, sewer service, waste pick-up and any other
utilities, materials or services furnished directly to or used by Tenant
on or about the Premises during the Lease Term, including, without
limitation, (i) meter, use and/or connection fees, hook-up fees, or
standby fee (excluding any connection fees or hook-up fees which relate to
making the existing electrical, gas, and water service available to the
Premises as of the Commencement Date), and (ii) penalties for discontinued
or interrupted service. If any utility service is not
separately metered to the Premises, then Tenant shall pay its pro rata
share of the cost of such utility service with all others served by the
service not separately metered. However, if Landlord determines
that Tenant is using a disproportionate amount of any utility service not
separately metered, then Landlord at its election may (i) periodically
charge Tenant, as Additional Rent, a sum equal to Landlord's reasonable
estimate of the cost of Tenant's excess use of such utility service, or
(ii) install a separate meter (at Tenant's expense) to measure the utility
service supplied to the Premises.
7.4 Compliance with
Governmental Regulations: Landlord and Tenant shall
comply with all rules, regulations and requirements promulgated by
national, state or local governmental agencies or utility
suppliers |
concerning
the use of utility services, including any rationing, limitation or other
control. Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease
nor to any abatement in rent by reason of such compliance.

COMMON OPERATING
EXPENSES
8.1 Tenant's Obligation to
Reimburse: As Additional Rent, Tenant shall pay Tenant's
Share (specified in Section G of
the Summary) of all Common Operating Expenses; provided, however, if the
Project contains more than one building, then Tenant shall pay Tenant's
Share of all Common Operating Expenses fairly allocable to the Building,
including (i) all Common Operating Expenses paid with respect to the
maintenance, repair, replacement and use of the Building, and (ii) a
proportionate share (based on the Building Gross Leasable Area as a
percentage of the Project Gross Leasable Area) of all Common Operating
Expenses which relate to the Project in general are not fairly allocable
to any one building that is part of the Project. Tenant shall
pay such share of the actual Common Operating Expenses incurred or paid by
Landlord but not theretofore billed to Tenant within 10 days after receipt
of a written xxxx therefor from Landlord, on such periodic basis as
Landlord shall designate, but in no event more frequently than once a
month. Alternatively, Landlord may from time to time require
that Tenant pay Tenant's Share of Common Operating Expenses in advance in
estimated monthly installments, in accordance with the following: (i)
Landlord shall deliver to Tenant Landlord's reasonable estimate of the
Common Operating expenses it anticipates will be paid or incurred for the
Landlord's fiscal year in question; (ii) during such Landlord's fiscal
year Tenant shall pay such share of the estimated Common Operating
Expenses in advance in monthly installments as required by Landlord due
with the installments of Base Monthly Rent; and (iii) within 90 days after
the end of each Landlord's fiscal year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a
statement in reasonable detail of the actual Common Operating Expenses
paid or incurred by Landlord during the just ended Landlord's fiscal year
and thereupon there shall be an adjustment between Landlord and Tenant,
with payment to Landlord or credit by Landlord against the next
installment of Base Monthly Rent, as the case may require, within 10 days
after delivery by Landlord to Tenant of said statement, so that Landlord
shall receive the entire amount of Tenant's Share of all Common Operating
Expenses for such Landlord's fiscal year and no more. Tenant
shall have the right at its expense, exercisable upon reasonable prior
written notice to Landlord, to inspect at Landlord's office during normal
business hours Landlord's books and records as they relate to Common
Operating Expenses. Such inspection must be within 60 days of
Tenant's receipt of Landlord's annual statement for the same, and shall be
limited to verification of the charges contained in such
statement. Tenant may not withhold payment of such xxxx pending
completion of such inspection.
8.2 Common Operating
Expenses Defined: The term "Common Operating Expenses"
shall mean the following:
A. All costs and
expenses paid or incurred by Landlord in doing the following (including
payments to independent contractors providing services related
to |

providing utilities to the Common Area (including lighting, trash removal
and water for landscaping irrigation); (v) complying with all applicable

(ii) the amount of any "deductible" paid by Landlord with respect to
damage caused by any Insured Peril; (iii) the cost to repair damage caused
by an Uninsured Peril up to a maximum amount in any 12 month period equal
to 2% of the replacement cost of the buildings or other improvements
damaged; and (iv) that portion of all compensation (including benefits and
premiums for workers' compensation and other insurance) paid to or on
behalf of employees of Landlord but only to the extent they are involved
in the performance of the work described by §8.2A
that is fairly allocable to the Project;
C. Fees for management
services rendered by either Landlord or a third party manager engaged by
Landlord (which may be a party affiliated with Landlord), except that the
total amount charged for management services and included in Tenant's
Share of Common Operating Expenses shall not exceed the monthly rate of
four percent (4%) of the Base Monthly Rent.
D. All additional
costs and expenses incurred by Landlord with respect to the operation,
protection, maintenance, repair and replacement of the Project which would
be considered a current expense (and not a capital expenditure) pursuant
to generally accepted accounting principles; provided, however, that
Common Operating Expenses shall not include any of the following: (i)
payments on any loans or ground leases affecting the Project; (ii)
depreciation of any buildings or any major systems of building service
equipment within the Project; (iii) leasing commissions; (iv) the cost of
tenant improvements installed for the exclusive use of other tenants of
the Project; and (v) any cost incurred in complying with Hazardous
Materials Laws, which subject is governed exclusively by §7.2.
Notwithstanding
any of the foregoing, to the extent that Landlord is required to replace
any items which are a capital expense under generally accepted accounting
principles, the cost of such replacement will be amortized and paid for
during the term of the Lease on an amortized basis by Tenant under the
provisions of Section 5.4, and such expenses by Landlord will
not be made part of Common Operating Expenses;
provided, |
however,
that this does not apply if the need for such replacement resulted from
Tenant’s failure to carry out its maintenance and repair duties under this
Lease, in which case, such expense shall be a Common Operating
Expense.
8.3 Real Property Taxes
Defined: The term "Real Property Taxes" shall mean all
taxes, assessments, levies, and other charges of any kind or nature
whatsoever, general and special, foreseen and unforeseen (including all
installments of principal and interest required to pay any existing or
future general or special assessments for public improvements, services or
benefits, and any increases resulting from reassessments resulting from a
change in ownership, new construction, or any other cause), now or
hereafter imposed by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority or
special district having the direct or indirect power to tax or levy
assessments, which are levied or assessed against, or with respect to the
value, occupancy or use of all or any portion of the Project (as now
constructed or as may at any time hereafter be constructed, altered, or
otherwise changed) or Landlord's interest therein, the fixtures, equipment
and other property of Landlord, real or personal, that are an integral
part of and located on the Project, the gross receipts, income, or rentals
from the Project, or the use of parking areas, public utilities, or energy
within the Project, or Landlord's business of leasing the
Project. If at any time during the Lease Term the method of
taxation or assessment of the Project prevailing as of the Effective Date
shall be altered so that in lieu of or in addition to any Real Property
Tax described above there shall be levied, assessed or imposed (whether by
reason of a change in the method of taxation or assessment, creation of a
new tax or charge, or any other cause) an alternate or additional tax or
charge (i) on the value, use or occupancy of the Project or Landlord's
interest therein, or (ii) on or measured by the gross receipts, income or
rentals from the Project, on Landlord's business of leasing the Project,
or computed in any manner with respect to the operation of the Project,
then any such tax or charge, however designated, shall be included within
the meaning of the term "Real Property Taxes" for purposes of this
Lease. If any Real Property Tax is based upon property or rents
unrelated to the Project, then only that part of such Real Property Tax
that is fairly allocable to the Project shall be included within the
meaning of the term "Real Property Taxes". Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the term "Real Property Taxes" shall not include estate, inheritance,
transfer, gift or franchise taxes of Landlord or the federal or state net
income tax imposed on Landlord's income from all sources.

INSURANCE
9.1
Tenant's
Insurance: Tenant shall maintain insurance complying
with all of the following:
A. Tenant
shall procure, pay for and keep in full force and effect the
following:
(1). Commercial
general liability insurance, including property damage, against
liability for personal injury, bodily injury, death and damage
to property occurring in or about, or resulting from an occurrence in or
about, the Premises with combined single limit coverage of not less than
the amount of |
11
LEASE
|
|
Tenant's
Liability Insurance Minimum specified in Section P of
the Summary, which insurance shall contain a "contractual liability"
endorsement insuring Tenant's performance of Tenant's obligation to
indemnify Landlord contained in §10.3;
(2). Fire
and property damage insurance in so-called "all risk" form insuring
Tenant's Trade Fixtures and Tenant's Alterations for the full actual
replacement cost thereof;
(3). Such
other insurance that is either (i) required by any Lender, or (ii)
reasonably required by Landlord and customarily carried by tenants of
similar property in similar businesses.
B. Where
applicable and required by Landlord, each policy of insurance required to
be carried by Tenant pursuant to this §9.1:
(i) shall name Landlord and such other parties in interest as Landlord
reasonably designates as additional insured; (ii) shall be primary
insurance which provides that the insurer shall be liable for the full
amount of the loss up to and including the total amount of liability set
forth in the declarations without the right of contribution from any other
insurance coverage of Landlord; (iii) shall be in a form satisfactory to
Landlord; (iv) shall be carried with companies reasonably acceptable to
Landlord; (v) shall provide that such policy shall not be subject to
cancellation, lapse or change except after at least 30 days prior written
notice to Landlord so long as such provision of 30 days notice is
reasonably obtainable, but in any event not less than 10 days prior
written notice; (vi) shall not have a "deductible" in excess of such
amount as is approved by Landlord; (vii) shall contain a cross liability
endorsement; and (viii) shall contain a "severability"
clause. If Tenant has in full force and effect a blanket policy
of liability insurance with the same coverage for the Premises as
described above, as well as other coverage of other premises and
properties of Tenant, or in which Tenant has some interest, such blanket
insurance shall satisfy the requirements of this §9.1.
C. A
copy of each paid-up policy evidencing the insurance required to be
carried by Tenant pursuant to this §9.1
(appropriately authenticated by the insurer) or a certificate of the
insurer, certifying that such policy has been issued, providing the
coverage required by this §9.1,
and containing the provisions specified herein, shall be delivered to
Landlord prior to the time Tenant or any of its Agents enters the Premises
and upon renewal of such policies, but not less than 5 days prior to the
expiration of the term of such coverage. Landlord may, at any
time, and from time to time, inspect and/or copy any and all insurance
policies required to be procured by Tenant pursuant to this §9.1.
If any Lender or insurance advisor reasonably determines at any time that
the amount of coverage required for any policy of insurance Tenant is to
obtain pursuant to this §9.1
is not adequate, then Tenant shall increase such coverage for such
insurance to such amount as such Lender or insurance advisor reasonably
deems adequate, not to exceed the level of coverage for such insurance
commonly carried by comparable businesses similarly situated.
9.2 Landlord's
Insurance: Landlord shall have the following obligations
and options regarding insurance: |
A. Landlord
shall maintain a policy or policies of fire and property damage insurance
in so-called "all risk" form insuring Landlord (and such others as
Landlord may designate) against loss of rents for a period of not less
than 12 months and from physical damage to the Project with coverage of
not less than the full replacement cost thereof. Landlord may
so insure the Project separately, or may insure the Project with other
property owned by Landlord which Landlord elects to insure together under
the same policy or policies. Such fire and property damage
insurance (i) may be endorsed to cover loss caused by such additional
perils against which Landlord may elect to insure, including earthquake
and/or flood, and to provide such additional coverage as Landlord
reasonably requires, and (ii) shall contain reasonable "deductibles"
which, in the case of earthquake and flood insurance, may be up to 15% of
the replacement value of the property insured or such higher amount as is
then commercially reasonable. Landlord shall not be required to
cause such insurance to cover any Trade Fixtures or Tenant's Alterations
of Tenant.
B. Landlord
may maintain a policy or policies of commercial general liability
insurance insuring Landlord (and such others as are designated by
Landlord) against liability for personal injury, bodily injury, death and
damage to property occurring or resulting from an occurrence in, on or
about the Project, with combined single limit coverage in such amount as
Landlord from time to time determines is reasonably necessary for its
protection.
9.3 Tenant's Obligation to
Reimburse: If Landlord's insurance rates for the
Building are increased at any time during the Lease Term as a result of
the nature of Tenant's use of the Premises, Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord for the full amount of such increase immediately upon receipt of
a xxxx from Landlord therefore.
9.4 Release and Waiver of
Subrogation: The parties hereto release each other, and
their respective agents and employees, from any liability for injury to
any person or damage to property that is caused by or results from any
risk insured against under any valid and collectible insurance policy
carried by either of the parties which contains a waiver of subrogation by
the insurer and is in force at the time of such injury or damage; subject
to the following limitations: (i) the foregoing provision shall
not apply to the commercial general liability insurance described by
subparagraphs §9.1A
and §9.2B;
(ii) such release shall apply to liability resulting from any risk insured
against or covered by self-insurance maintained or provided by Tenant to
satisfy the requirements of §9.1
to the extent permitted by this Lease; and (iii) Tenant shall not be
released from any such liability to the extent any damages resulting from
such injury or damage are not covered by the recovery obtained by Landlord
from such insurance, but only if the insurance in question permits such
partial release in connection with obtaining a waiver of subrogation from
the insurer. This release shall be in effect only so long as
the applicable insurance policy contains a clause to the effect that this
release shall not affect the right of the insured to recover under such
policy. Each party shall use reasonable efforts to cause each
insurance policy obtained by it to provide that the insurer waives all
right of recovery by way of subrogation against the other party and its
agents and employees in connection
with |
12
LEASE
|
|
any
injury or damage covered by such policy. However, if any
insurance policy cannot be obtained with such a waiver of subrogation, or
if such waiver of subrogation is only available at additional cost and the
party for whose benefit the waiver is to be obtained does not pay such
additional cost, then the party obtaining such insurance shall notify the
other party of that fact and thereupon shall be relieved of the obligation
to obtain such waiver of subrogation rights from the insurer with respect
to the particular insurance involved.

LIMITATION ON
LANDLORD'S
LIABILITY AND
INDEMNITY
10.1 Limitation on
Landlord's Liability: Landlord shall not be liable to
Tenant, nor shall Tenant be entitled to terminate this Lease or to any
abatement of rent (except as expressly provided otherwise herein), for any
injury to Tenant or Tenant's Agents, damage to the property of Tenant or
Tenant's Agents, or loss to Tenant's business resulting from any cause,
including without limitation any: (i) failure, interruption or
installation of any HVAC or other utility system or service; (ii) failure
to furnish or delay in furnishing any utilities or services when such
failure or delay is caused by fire or other peril, the elements, labor
disturbances of any character, or any other accidents or other conditions
beyond the reasonable control of Landlord; (iii) limitation, curtailment,
rationing or restriction on the use of water or electricity, gas or any
other form of energy or any services or utility serving the Project; (iv)
vandalism or forcible entry by unauthorized persons or the criminal act of
any person; or (v) penetration of water into or onto any portion of the
Premises or the Building through roof leaks or
otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to §9.4,
the provision above under which it is stated that Landlord shall not be
liable shall not apply in case of any any such injury, damage or loss
which is proximately caused by Landlord's willful misconduct or gross
negligence or active negligence where Landlord has had actual notice of
the cause and a reasonable time to cure, but does not cure..
10.2 Limitation on Tenant's
Recourse: If Landlord is a corporation, trust,
partnership, joint venture, unincorporated association or other form of
business entity: (i) the obligations of Landlord shall not constitute
personal obligations of the officers, directors, trustees, partners, joint
venturers, members, owners, stockholders, or other principals or
representatives of such business entity; and (ii) Tenant shall not have
recourse to the assets of such officers, directors, trustees, partners,
joint venturers, members, owners, stockholders, principals or
representatives except to the extent of their interest in the
Project. Tenant shall have recourse only to the interest of
Landlord in the Project for the satisfaction of the obligations of
Landlord and shall not have recourse to any other assets of Landlord for
the satisfaction of such obligations.
10.3 Indemnification of
Landlord: Tenant shall hold harmless, indemnify and
defend Landlord, and its employees, agents and contractors, with competent
counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord (and Landlord agrees to accept
counsel that any insurer requires be used), from all liability, penalties,
losses, damages, costs, expenses, causes of action,
claims |
and/or
judgments arising by reason of any death, bodily injury, personal injury
or property damage resulting from (i) any cause or causes whatsoever
(other than the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Landlord or
Landlord’s active negligence where Landlord has had actual notice of the
cause and a reasonable time to cure, but does not cure) occurring in or
about or resulting from an occurrence in or about the Premises during the
Lease Term; (ii) the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or its
agents, employees and contractors, wherever the same may occur; or (iii)
an Event of Tenant's Default. The provisions of this §10.3
shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this
Lease.

DAMAGE TO
PREMISES
11.1 Landlord's Duty to
Restore: If the Premises are damaged by any peril after
the Effective Date, Landlord shall restore the Premises unless the Lease
is terminated by Landlord pursuant to §11.2
or by Tenant pursuant to §11.3. All
insurance proceeds available from the fire and property damage insurance
carried by Landlord pursuant to §9.2
shall be paid to and become the property of Landlord. If this
Lease is terminated pursuant to either §11.2
or §11.3,
then all insurance proceeds available from insurance carried by Tenant
which covers loss to property that is Landlord's property or would become
Landlord's property on termination of this Lease shall be paid to and
become the property of Landlord. If this Lease is not so
terminated, then upon receipt of the insurance proceeds (if the loss is
covered by insurance) and the issuance of all necessary governmental
permits, Landlord shall commence and diligently prosecute to completion
the restoration of the Premises, to the extent then allowed by Law, to
substantially the same condition in which the Premises were immediately
prior to such damage. Landlord's obligation to restore shall be
limited to the Premises and interior improvements constructed by Landlord
as they existed as of the Commencement Date, excluding any Tenant's
Alterations, Trade Fixtures and/or personal property constructed or
installed by Tenant in the Premises. Tenant shall forthwith
replace or fully repair all Tenant's Alterations and Trade Fixtures
installed by Tenant and existing at the time of such damage or
destruction, and all insurance proceeds received by Tenant from the
insurance carried by it pursuant to §9.1A(2)
shall be used for such purpose.
11.2 Landlord's Right to
Terminate: Landlord shall have the right to terminate
this Lease in the event any of the following occurs, which right may be
exercised only by delivery to Tenant of a written notice of election to
terminate within 30 days after the date of such damage:
A. Either
the Project or the Building is damaged by an Insured Peril to such an
extent that the estimated cost to restore exceeds 33% of the then actual
replacement cost thereof;
B. Either
the Project or the Building is damaged by an Uninsured Peril to such an
extent that the estimated cost to restore exceeds 2% of the then actual
replacement cost thereof; provided, however, that Landlord may not
terminate this Lease pursuant to this §11.2B
if one or more tenants of the Project agree
in |
13
LEASE
|
|
writing
to pay the amount by which the cost to restore the damage exceeds such
amount and subsequently deposit such amount with Landlord within 30 days
after Landlord has notified Tenant of its election to terminate this
Lease;
C. The
Premises are damaged by any peril within 12 months of the last day of the
Lease Term to such an extent that the estimated cost to restore equals or
exceeds an amount equal to six times the Base Monthly Rent then due;
provided, however, that Landlord may not terminate this Lease pursuant to
this §11.2C
if Tenant, at the time of such damage, has a then valid express written
option to extend the Lease Term and Tenant exercises such option to extend
the Lease Term within 15 days following the date of such damage;
or
D. Either
the Project or the Building is damaged by any peril and, because of the
Laws then in force, (i) cannot be restored at reasonable cost to
substantially the same condition in which it was prior to such damage, or
(ii) cannot be used for the same use being made thereof before such damage
if restored as required by this Article.
E. As
used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings: (i)
the term "Insured Peril" shall mean a peril actually insured against for
which the insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord are sufficient
(except for any "deductible" amount specified by such insurance) to
restore the Project under then existing building codes to the condition
existing immediately prior to the damage; and (ii) the term "Uninsured
Peril" shall mean any peril which is not an Insured
Peril. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the "deductible" for
earthquake or flood insurance exceeds 2% of the replacement cost of the
improvements insured, such peril shall be deemed an "Uninsured
Peril".
11.3 Tenant's Right to
Terminate: If the Premises are damaged by any peril and
Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease or is not entitled to
terminate this Lease pursuant to §11.2,
then as soon as reasonably practicable, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with
the written opinion of Landlord's architect or construction consultant as
to when the restoration work required of Landlord may be
completed. Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease
in the event any of the following occurs, which right may be exercised
only by delivery to Landlord of a written notice of election to terminate
within 10 days after Tenant receives from Landlord the estimate
of the time needed to complete such restoration.
A. The
Premises are damaged by any peril and, in the reasonable opinion of
Landlord's architect or construction consultant, the restoration of the
Premises cannot be substantially completed within 180 days after the date
of such damage; or
B. The
Premises are damaged by any peril within 12 months of the last day of the
Lease Term and, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord's architect or
construction consultant, the restoration of the Premises cannot be
substantially completed within 90 days after the date of such damage and
such damage renders unusable more than 30% of the Premises.
11.4 Abatement of
Rent: In the event of damage to |
the
Premises which does not result in the termination of this Lease, the Base
Monthly Rent and the Additional Rent shall be temporarily abated during
the period of restoration in proportion to the degree to which Tenant's
use of the Premises is impaired by such damage. Tenant shall
not be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of
Tenant's business or property or for any inconvenience or annoyance caused
by such damage or restoration. Tenant hereby waives the
provisions of California Civil Code Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) and the
provisions of any similar law hereinafter enacted.

CONDEMNATION
12.1 Landlord's Termination
Right: Landlord shall have the right to terminate this
Lease if, as a result of a taking by means of the exercise of the power of
eminent domain (including a voluntary sale or transfer by Landlord to a
condemnor under threat of condemnation), (i) all or any part of the
Premises is so taken, (ii) more than 10% of the Building Leasable Area is
so taken, or (iii) more than 50% of the Common Area is so
taken. Any such right to terminate by Landlord must be
exercised within a reasonable period of time, to be effective as of the
date possession is taken by the condemnor.
12.2 Tenant's Termination
Right: Tenant shall have the right to terminate this
Lease if, as a result of any taking by means of the exercise of the power
of eminent domain (including any voluntary sale or transfer by Landlord to
any condemnor under threat of condemnation), (i) 10% or more of the
Premises is so taken and that part of the Premises that remains cannot be
restored within a reasonable period of time and thereby made reasonably
suitable for the continued operation of the Tenant's business, or (ii)
there is a taking affecting the Common Area and, as a result of such
taking, Landlord cannot provide parking spaces within reasonable walking
distance of the Premises equal in number to at least 80% of the number of
spaces allocated to Tenant by §2.1,
whether by rearrangement of the remaining parking areas in the Common Area
(including construction of multi-deck parking structures or restriping for
compact cars where permitted by Law) or by alternative parking facilities
on other land. Tenant must exercise such right within a
reasonable period of time, to be effective on the date that possession of
that portion of the Premises or Common Area that is condemned is taken by
the condemnor.
12.3 Restoration and
Abatement of Rent: If any part of the Premises or the
Common Area is taken by condemnation and this Lease is not terminated,
then Landlord shall restore the remaining portion of the Premises and
Common Area and interior improvements constructed by Landlord as they
existed as of the Commencement Date, excluding any Tenant's Alterations,
Trade Fixtures and/or personal property constructed or installed by
Tenant. Thereafter, except in the case of a temporary taking,
as of the date possession is taken the Base Monthly Rent shall be reduced
in the same proportion that the floor area of that part of the Premises so
taken (less any addition thereto by reason of any reconstruction) bears to
the original floor area of the Premises.
12.4 Temporary
Taking: If any portion of
the |
14
LEASE
|
|
Premises
is temporarily taken for one year or less, this Lease shall remain in
effect. If any portion of the Premises is temporarily taken by
condemnation for a period which exceeds one year or which extends beyond
the natural expiration of the Lease Term, and such taking materially and
adversely affects Tenant's ability to use the Premises for the Permitted
Use, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease, effective
on the date possession is taken by the condemnor.
12.5 Division of
Condemnation Award: Any award made as a result of any
condemnation of the Premises or the Common Area shall belong to and be
paid to Landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of its right,
title and interest in any such award; provided, however, that Tenant shall
be entitled to receive any condemnation award that is made directly to
Tenant for the following so long as the award made to Landlord is not
thereby reduced: (i) for the taking of personal property or Trade Fixtures
belonging to Tenant; (ii) for the interruption of Tenant's business or its
moving costs; (iii) for loss of Tenant's goodwill; or (iv) for any
temporary taking where this Lease is not terminated as a result of such
taking. The rights of Landlord and Tenant regarding any
condemnation shall be determined as provided in this Article, and each
party hereby waives the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure
Section 1265.130 and the provisions of any similar law hereinafter enacted
allowing either party to petition the Superior Court to terminate this
Lease in the event of a partial taking of the Premises.

DEFAULT AND
REMEDIES
13.1 Events of Tenant's
Default: Tenant shall be in default of its obligations
under this Lease if any of the following events occurs (an "Event of
Tenant's Default"):
A. Tenant
shall have failed to pay Base Monthly Rent or Additional Rent when due,
and such failure is not cured within 3 days after delivery of written
notice from Landlord specifying such failure to pay; or
B. Tenant
shall have failed to perform any term, covenant, or condition of this
Lease except those requiring the payment of Base Monthly Rent or
Additional Rent, and Tenant shall have failed to cure such breach within
30 days after written notice from Landlord specifying the nature of such
breach where such breach could reasonably be cured within said 30 day
period, or if such breach could not be reasonably cured within said 30 day
period, Tenant shall have failed to commence such cure within said 30 day
period and thereafter continue with due diligence to prosecute such cure
to completion within such time period as is reasonably needed but not to
exceed 90 days from the date of Landlord's notice; or
C. Tenant
shall have sublet the Premises or assigned its interest in the Lease in
violation of the provisions contained in Article 14; or
D. Tenant
shall have abandoned the Premises or left the Premises substantially
vacant; or
E. The
occurrence of the following: (i) the |
making
by Tenant of any general arrangements or assignments for the benefit of
creditors; (ii) Tenant becomes a "debtor" as defined in 11 USC 101 or
any successor statute thereto (unless, in the case of a petition filed
against Tenant, the same is dismissed within 60 days); (iii) the
appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially
all of Tenant's assets located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in
this Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within 30 days; or
(iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially
all of Tenant's assets located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in
this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within 30 days; provided,
however, in the event that any provision of this Section 13.1E is contrary
to any applicable Law, such provision shall be of no force or effect;
or
F. Tenant
shall have failed to deliver documents required of it pursuant to §15.4
or §15.6
within the time periods specified therein.
13.2 Landlord's
Remedies: If an Event of Tenant's Default occurs,
Landlord shall have the following remedies, in addition to all other
rights and remedies provided by any Law or otherwise provided in this
Lease, to which Landlord may resort cumulatively or in the
alternative:
A. Landlord
may keep this Lease in effect and enforce by an action at law or in equity
all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including (i) the right
to recover the rent and other sums as they become due by appropriate legal
action,;(ii) the right to make payments required of Tenant or perform
Tenant's obligations and be reimbursed by Tenant for the cost thereof with
interest at the Agreed Interest Rate from the date the sum is paid by
Landlord until Landlord is reimbursed by Tenant; and (iii) the remedies of
injunctive relief and specific performance to compel Tenant to perform its
obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding anything
contained in this Lease, in the event of a breach of an obligation by
Tenant which results in a condition which poses an imminent danger to
safety of persons or damage to property, an unsightly condition visible
from the exterior of the Building, or a threat to insurance coverage, then
if Tenant does not cure such breach within 3 days after delivery to it of
written notice from Landlord identifying the breach, Landlord may cure the
breach of Tenant and be reimbursed by Tenant for the cost thereof with
interest at the Agreed Interest Rate from the date the sum is paid by
Landlord until Landlord is reimbursed by Tenant.
B. Landlord
may enter the Premises and release them to third parties for Tenant's
account for any period, whether shorter or longer than the remaining Lease
Term. Tenant shall be liable immediately to Landlord for all
costs Landlord incurs in releasing the Premises, including brokers'
commissions, expenses of altering and preparing the Premises required by
the releasing. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the rent and other
sums due under this Lease on the date the rent is due, less the rent and
other sums Landlord received from any releasing. No act by
Landlord allowed by this subparagraph shall terminate this Lease unless
Landlord notifies Tenant in writing that Landlord elects to terminate this
Lease. Notwithstanding any releasing without termination,
Landlord may later elect to terminate this Lease because of the default by
Tenant.

LEASE
|
|
C. Landlord
may terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice of termination,
in which event this Lease shall terminate on the date set forth for
termination in such notice. Any termination under this §13.2C
shall not relieve Tenant from its obligation to pay sums then due Landlord
or from any claim against Tenant for damages or rent previously accrued or
then accruing. In no event shall any one or more of the
following actions by Landlord, in the absence of a written
election by Landlord to terminate this Lease, constitute a termination of
this Lease: (i) appointment of a receiver or keeper in order to protect
Landlord's interest hereunder; (ii) consent to any subletting of the
Premises or assignment of this Lease by Tenant, whether pursuant to the
provisions hereof or otherwise; or (iii) any other action by Landlord or
Landlord's Agents intended to mitigate the adverse effects of any breach
of this Lease by Tenant, including without limitation any action taken to
maintain and preserve the Premises or any action taken to relet the
Premises or any portions thereof to the extent such actions do not affect
a termination of Tenant's right to possession of the
Premises.
D. In
the event Tenant breaches this Lease and abandons the Premises, this Lease
shall not terminate unless Landlord gives Tenant written notice of its
election to so terminate this Lease. No act by or on behalf of
Landlord intended to mitigate the adverse effect of such breach, including
those described by §13.C,
shall constitute a termination of Tenant's right to possession unless
Landlord gives Tenant written notice of termination. Should
Landlord not terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice,
Landlord may enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease,
including the right to recover the rent as it becomes due under the Lease
as provided in California Civil Code Section 1951.4.
E. In
the event Landlord terminates this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled, at
Landlord's election, to damages in an amount as set forth in California
Civil Code Section 1951.2 as in effect on the Effective
Date. For purposes of computing damages pursuant to California
Civil Code Section 1951.2, (i) an interest rate equal to the Agreed
Interest Rate shall be used where permitted, and (ii) the term "rent"
includes Base Monthly Rent and Additional Rent. Such damages
shall include:
(1). The
worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the
balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such
rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided, computed by
discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank
of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%);
and
(2). Any
other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all 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 the following: (i) expenses for
cleaning, repairing or restoring the Premises; (ii) expenses for altering,
remodeling or otherwise improving the Premises for the purpose of
reletting, including installation of leasehold improvements (whether such
installation be funded by a reduction of rent,
direct |
payment
or allowance to a new tenant, or otherwise); (iii) broker's fees,
advertising costs and other expenses of reletting the Premises; (iv) costs
of carrying the Premises, such as taxes, insurance premiums, utilities and
security precautions; (v) expenses in retaking possession of the Premises;
and (vi) attorneys' fees and court costs incurred by Landlord in retaking
possession of the Premises and in releasing the Premises or otherwise
incurred as a result of Tenant's default.
F. Nothing
in this §13.2
shall limit Landlord's right to indemnification from Tenant as provided in
§7.2
and §10.3. Any
notice given by Landlord in order to satisfy the requirements of §13.1A
or §13.1B
above shall also satisfy the notice requirements of California Code of
Civil Procedure Section 1161 regarding unlawful detainer
proceedings.
13.3 Waiver: One
party's consent to or approval of any act by the other party requiring the
first party's consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render
unnecessary the first party's consent to or approval of any subsequent
similar act by the other party. The receipt by Landlord of any
rent or payment with or without knowledge of the breach of any other
provision hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of any such breach unless
such waiver is in writing and signed by Landlord. No delay or
omission in the exercise of any right or remedy accruing to either party
upon any breach by the other party under this Lease shall impair such
right or remedy or be construed as a waiver of any such breach theretofore
or thereafter occurring. The waiver by either party of any
breach of any provision of this Lease shall not be deemed to be a waiver
of any subsequent breach of the same or of any other provisions herein
contained.
13.4 Limitation On Exercise
of Rights: At any time that an Event of Tenant's Default
has occurred and remains uncured, (i) it shall not be unreasonable for
Landlord to deny or withhold any consent or approval requested of it by
Tenant which Landlord would otherwise be obligated to give, and (ii)
Tenant may not exercise any option to extend, right to terminate this
Lease, or other right granted to it by this Lease which would otherwise be
available to it.
13.5 Waiver by Tenant of
Certain Remedies: Tenant waives the provisions of
Sections 1932(1), 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code and any
similar or successor law regarding Tenant's right to terminate this Lease
or to make repairs and deduct the expenses of such repairs from the rent
due under this Lease. Tenant hereby waives any right of
redemption or relief from forfeiture under the laws of the State of
California, or under any other present or future law, including the
provisions of Sections 1174 and 1179 of the California Code of Civil
Procedure.

ASSIGNMENT AND
SUBLETTING
14.1 Transfer By
Tenant: The following provisions shall apply to any
assignment, subletting or other transfer by Tenant or any subtenant or
assignee or other successor in interest of the original Tenant
(collectively referred to in this §14.1
as "Tenant"):
A. Tenant
shall not do any of the following (collectively referred to herein as a
"Transfer"), whether
|
16
LEASE
|
|
voluntarily,
involuntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of
Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned,
or delayed: (i) sublet all or any part of the Premises or allow it to be
sublet, occupied or used by any person or entity other than Tenant; (ii)
assign its interest in this Lease; (iii) mortgage or encumber the Lease
(or otherwise use the Lease as a security device) in any manner; or (iv)
materially amend or modify an assignment, sublease or other transfer that
has been previously approved by Landlord. Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord for all reasonable costs and attorneys' fees incurred
by Landlord in connection with the evaluation, processing, and/or
documentation of any requested Transfer, whether or not Landlord's consent
is granted. Landlord's reasonable costs shall include the cost
of any review or investigation performed by Landlord or consultant acting
on Landlord's behalf of (i) Hazardous Materials (as defined in Section
7.2E of this Lease) used, stored, released, or disposed of by the
potential Subtenant or Assignee, and/or (ii) violations of Hazardous
Materials Law (as defined in Section 7.2E of this lease) by the Tenant or
the proposed Subtenant or Assignee. Any Transfer so approved by
Landlord shall not be effective until Tenant has delivered to Landlord an
executed counterpart of the document evidencing the Transfer which (i) is
in a form reasonably approved by Landlord; (ii) contains the same terms
and conditions as stated in Tenant's notice given to Landlord pursuant to
§14.1B;
and (iii) in the case of an assignment of the Lease, contains the
agreement of the proposed transferee to assume all obligations of Tenant
under this Lease arising after the effective date of such Transfer and to
remain jointly and severally liable therefore with Tenant. Any attempted
Transfer without Landlord's consent shall constitute an Event of Tenant's
Default and shall be voidable at Landlord's option. Landlord's
consent to any one Transfer shall not constitute a waiver of the
provisions of this §14.1
as to any subsequent Transfer or a consent to any subsequent
Transfer. No Transfer, even with the consent of Landlord, shall
relieve Tenant of its personal and primary obligation to pay the rent and
to perform all of the other obligations to be performed by Tenant
hereunder. The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any person
shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this
Lease nor to be a consent to any Transfer.
B. At
least 30 days before a proposed Transfer is to become effective, Tenant
shall give Landlord written notice of the proposed terms of such Transfer
and request Landlord's approval, which notice shall include the following:
(i) the name and legal composition of the proposed transferee; (ii) a
current financial statement of the transferee, financial statements of the
transferee covering the preceding three years if the same exist, and (if
available) an audited financial statement of the transferee for a period
ending not more than one year prior to the proposed effective date of the
Transfer, all of which statements are prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles; (iii) the nature of the proposed
transferee's business to be carried on in the Premises; (iv) all
consideration to be given on account of the Transfer; (v) a current
financial statement of Tenant; and (vi) an accurately filled out response
to Landlord's standard Hazardous Materials
Questionnaire. Tenant shall provide to Landlord such other
information as may be reasonably requested by Landlord within seven days
after Landlord's receipt of such notice from Tenant. |
Landlord
shall respond in writing to Tenant's request for Landlord's consent to a
Transfer within the later of (i) 15 days of receipt of such request
together with the required accompanying documentation, or (ii) seven days
after Landlord's receipt of all information which Landlord reasonably
requests within seven days after it receives Tenant's first notice
regarding the Transfer in question. If Landlord fails to
respond in writing within said period, Landlord will be deemed to have
withheld its consent to such Transfer. Tenant shall
immediately notify Landlord of any material modification to the proposed
terms of such Transfer.
C. In
the event that Tenant seeks to make any Transfer of the Lease by
assignment, or by a Sublease of all or substantially all of the Premises
for all or substantially all of the remaining term of the
Lease, then,
Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease, either (i)
on the condition that the proposed transferee immediately enter into a
direct lease of the Premises with Landlord on the same terms and
conditions contained in Tenant's notice, or (ii) so that Landlord is
thereafter free to lease the Premises to whomever it pleases on whatever
terms are acceptable to Landlord. In the event Landlord elects
to so terminate this Lease, then (i) if such termination is conditioned
upon the execution of a lease between Landlord and the proposed
transferee, Tenant's obligations under this Lease shall not be terminated
until such transferee executes a new lease with Landlord, enters into
possession and commences the payment of rent, and (ii) if Landlord elects
simply to terminate this Lease, the Lease shall so terminate in its
entirety fifteen (15) days after Landlord has notified Tenant in writing
of such election. Upon such termination, Tenant shall be
released from any further obligation under this Lease. Landlord
and Tenant shall execute a cancellation and release with respect to the
Lease to effect such termination. If Landlord elects to
terminate the Lease under the provisions of this Section 14.1C, it shall
give Tenant written notice of such election; upon receipt of such notice,
Tenant shall have the right to rescind it’s proposed Transfer by a notice
in writing to Landlord given within seven (7) days of receipt of
Landlord’s notice, and if Tenant gives such notice of rescission, Landlord
shall not have a right to terminate as to the rescinded
Transfer.
C1. If
Tenant sells its business and satisfies the conditions of Section
14.1F(3), the foregoing recapture provision of Section 14.1C shall not be
applicable.
D. If
Landlord consents to a Transfer proposed by Tenant, Tenant may enter into
such Transfer, and if Tenant does so, the following shall
apply:
(1). Tenant
shall not be released of its liability for the performance of all of its
obligations under the Lease.
(2). If
Tenant assigns its interest in this Lease, then Tenant shall pay to
Landlord 50% of all Subrent (as defined in §14.1D(5))
received by Tenant over and above (i) the assignee's agreement to assume
the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, and (ii) all Permitted
Transfer Costs related to such assignment. In the case of
assignment, the amount of Subrent owed to Landlord shall be paid to
Landlord on the same basis, whether periodic or in lump sum, that such
Subrent is |
17
LEASE
|
|
paid
to Tenant by the assignee.
(3). If
Tenant sublets any part of the Premises, then with respect to the space so
subleased, Tenant shall pay to Landlord 50% of the positive difference, if
any, between (i) all Subrent paid by the subtenant to Tenant, less (ii)
the sum of all Base Monthly Rent and Additional Rent allocable to the
space sublet and all Permitted Transfer Costs related to such
sublease. Such amount shall be paid to Landlord on the same
basis, whether periodic or in lump sum, that such Subrent is paid to
Tenant by its subtenant. In calculating Landlord's share of any
periodic payments, all Permitted Transfer Costs shall be first recovered
by Tenant.
(4). Tenant's
obligations under this §14.1D
shall survive any Transfer, and Tenant's failure to perform its
obligations hereunder shall be an Event of Tenant's Default. At
the time Tenant makes any payment to Landlord required by this §14.1D,
Tenant shall deliver an itemized statement of the method by which the
amount to which Landlord is entitled was calculated, certified by Tenant
as true and correct. Landlord shall have the right at
reasonable intervals to inspect Tenant's books and records relating to the
payments due hereunder. Upon request therefor, Tenant shall
deliver to Landlord copies of all bills, invoices or other documents upon
which its calculations are based. Landlord may condition its
approval of any Transfer upon obtaining a certification from both Tenant
and the proposed transferee of all Subrent and other amounts that are to
be paid to Tenant in connection with such Transfer.
(5). As
used in this §14.1D,
the term "Subrent" shall mean any consideration of any kind received, or
to be received, by Tenant as a result of the Transfer, if such sums are
related to Tenant's interest in this Lease or in the Premises, including
payments from or on behalf of the transferee (in excess of the book value
thereof) for Tenant's assets, fixtures, leasehold improvements, inventory,
accounts, goodwill, equipment, furniture, and general
intangibles. As used in this §14.1D,
the term "Permitted Transfer Costs" shall mean (i) all reasonable leasing
commissions paid to third parties not affiliated with Tenant in order to
obtain the Transfer in question; and (ii) all reasonable attorneys' fees
incurred by Tenant with respect to the Transfer in question.
E. If

Tenant is not the surviving corporation; and (ii) if the capital stock of
Tenant is not publicly traded, the sale or transfer to one person or
entity (or to any group of related persons or entities) stock possessing
more than 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of
Tenant's capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote for the
election of directors. If Tenant is a partnership, any
withdrawal or substitution (whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation
of law, and whether occurring at one time or over a period of time) of any
partner owning 25% or more (cumulatively) of any interest in the capital
or profits of the partnership, or the dissolution of the partnership,
shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of Tenant's interest in this
Lease.

F. Notwithstanding
anything contained in §14.1,
so long as Tenant otherwise complies with the provisions of §14.1
Tenant may enter into any of the following transfers (a "Permitted
Transfer") without Landlord's prior written consent, and Landlord shall
not be entitled to terminate the Lease pursuant to §14.1C
or to receive any part of any Subrent resulting therefrom that would
otherwise be due it pursuant to §14.1D:
(1). Tenant
may sublease all or part of the Premises or assign its interest in this
Lease to any corporation which controls, is controlled by, or is under
common control with the original Tenant to this Lease by means of an
ownership interest of more than 50%;
(2). Tenant
may assign its interest in the Lease to a corporation which results from a
merger, consolidation or other reorganization in which Tenant is not the
surviving corporation, so long as the surviving corporation has a net
worth at the time of such assignment that is equal to or greater than the
net worth of Tenant immediately prior to such transaction;
and
(3). Tenant
may assign this Lease to a corporation which purchases or otherwise
acquires all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, so long as such
acquiring corporation has a net worth at the time of such assignment that

14.2 Transfer By
Landlord: Landlord and its successors in interest shall
have the right to transfer their interest in this Lease and the Project at
any time and to any person or entity. In the event of any such

subsequent transfer, the transferror) from the date of such transfer,
shall be automatically relieved, without any further act by any person or
entity, of all liability for the performance of the obligations of the
Landlord hereunder which may accrue after the date of such
transfer. After the date of any such transfer, the term
"Landlord" as used herein shall mean the transferee of such interest in
the Premises.

GENERAL
PROVISIONS
15.1 Landlord's Right to
Enter: Landlord and its agents may enter the Premises at
any reasonable time after giving at least 24 hours' prior notice to Tenant
(and immediately in the case of emergency) for the purpose of: (i)
inspecting the same; (ii) posting notices of non-responsibility; (iii)
supplying any service to be provided by Landlord to Tenant; (iv) showing
the Premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagees or tenants; (v) making
necessary alterations, additions or repairs; (vi) performing Tenant's
obligations when Tenant has failed to do so after written notice from
Landlord; (vii) placing upon the Premises ordinary "for lease" signs or
"for sale" signs; and (viii) responding to an
emergency. Landlord shall have the right to use any and all
means Landlord may deem necessary and proper to enter the Premises in an
emergency. Any entry into the Premises obtained by Landlord in
accordance with this §15.1
shall not be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the
Premises, or an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant from the
Premises.
15.2 Surrender of the
Premises: Upon the
expiration |
18
LEASE
|
|
or
sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall vacate and surrender the
Premises to Landlord in the same condition as existed at the Commencement
Date, except for (i) reasonable wear and tear, (ii) damage caused by any
peril or condemnation, and (iii) contamination by Hazardous Materials for
which Tenant is not responsible pursuant to §7.2A
or §7.2B. In
this regard, normal wear and tear shall be construed to mean wear and tear
caused to the Premises by the natural aging process which occurs in spite
of prudent application of the best standards for maintenance, repair and
janitorial practices, and does not include items of neglected or deferred
maintenance. In any event, Tenant shall cause the following to
be done prior to the expiration or the sooner termination of this Lease:
(i) all interior walls shall be painted or cleaned so that they appear
freshly painted; (ii) all tiled floors shall be cleaned and waxed; (iii)
all carpets shall be cleaned and shampooed; (iv) all broken, marred,
stained or nonconforming acoustical ceiling tiles shall be replaced; (v)
all windows shall be washed; (vi) the HVAC system shall be serviced by a
reputable and licensed service firm and left in good operating condition
and repair as so certified by such firm; and (vii) the plumbing and
electrical systems and lighting shall be placed in good order and repair
(including replacement of any burned out, discolored or broken light
bulbs, ballasts, or lenses). Tenant shall be excused
from the foregoing duties if and to the extent they require
Tenant to perform capital expense replacements which this Lease requires
Landlord to perform and which would, if Landlord had performed them, have
been subject to the amortization and payment during the Lease Term
provisions of Section 5.4. If Landlord so requests, Tenant
shall, prior to the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, (i)
remove any Tenant's Alterations which Tenant is required to remove
pursuant to §5.2
and repair all damage caused by such removal, and (ii) return the Premises
or any part thereof to its original configuration existing as of the time
the Premises were delivered to Tenant to the extent required under Section
5.2. If the Premises are not so surrendered at the termination
of this Lease, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all costs incurred
by Landlord in returning the Premises to the required condition, plus
interest on all costs incurred at the Agreed Interest
Rate. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against loss or liability
resulting from delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Premises, including,
without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant or losses to
Landlord due to lost opportunities to lease to succeeding
tenants. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to
the contrary, Tenant shall not be required to remove, upon expiration or
sooner termination of the Lease, any Ethernet or telephone cables
previously installed or installed by it.
15.3 Holding
Over: This Lease shall terminate without further notice
at the expiration of the Lease Term. Any holding over by Tenant
after expiration of the Lease Term shall not constitute a renewal or
extension of the Lease or give Tenant any rights in or to the Premises
except as expressly provided in this Lease. Any holding over
after such expiration with the written consent of Landlord shall be
construed to be a tenancy from month to month on the same terms and
conditions herein specified insofar as applicable except that Base Monthly
Rent shall be increased to an amount equal to 150% of the Base Monthly
Rent payable during the last full calendar month of the Lease
Term. |
15.4 Subordination: The
following provisions shall govern the relationship of this Lease to any
Security Instrument:
A. The
Lease is subject and subordinate to all Security Instruments existing as
of the Effective Date. However, if any Lender so requires, this
Lease shall become prior and superior to any such Security
Instrument.
B. At
Landlord's election, this Lease shall become subject and subordinate to
any Security Instrument created after the Effective
Date. Notwithstanding such subordination, Tenant's right to
quiet possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed so long as Tenant
is not in default and performs all of its obligations under this Lease,
unless this Lease is otherwise terminated pursuant to its
terms.
C. Tenant
shall upon request execute any document or instrument reasonably required
by any Lender to make this Lease either prior or subordinate to a Security
Instrument, which may include such other matters as the Lender customarily
and reasonably requires in connection with such agreements, including
provisions that the Lender not be liable for (i) the return of any
security deposit unless the Lender receives it from Landlord, and (ii) any
defaults on the part of Landlord occurring prior to the time the Lender
takes possession of the Project in connection with the enforcement of its
Security Instrument. Tenant's failure to execute any such
document or instrument within 10 days after written demand therefore shall
constitute an Event of Tenant's Default. Tenant approves as
reasonable the form of subordination agreement attached to this Lease as
Exhibit
G.
15.5 Mortgagee Protection
and Attornment: In the event of any default on the part
of the Landlord, Tenant will use reasonable efforts to give notice by
registered mail to any Lender whose name has been provided to Tenant and
shall offer such Lender a reasonable opportunity to cure the default,
including time to obtain possession of the Premises by power of sale or
judicial foreclosure or other appropriate legal proceedings, if such
should prove necessary to effect a cure. Tenant shall attorn to
any purchaser of the Premises at any foreclosure sale or private sale
conducted pursuant to any Security Instrument encumbering the Premises, or
to any grantee or transferee designated in any deed given in lieu of
foreclosure.
15.6 Estoppel Certificates
and Financial Statements: At all times during the Lease
Term, each party agrees, following any request by the other party,
promptly to execute and deliver to the requesting party within 10 days
following delivery of such request an estoppel certificate: (i) certifying
that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect or, if
modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this
Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect, (ii) stating the date
to which the rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, (iii)
acknowledging that there are not, to the certifying party's knowledge, any
uncured defaults on the part of any party hereunder or, if there are
uncured defaults, specifying the nature of such defaults, and (iv)
certifying such other information about the Lease as may be reasonably
required by the requesting party. A failure to deliver an
estoppel certificate within 10 days after delivery of a request therefor
shall be a conclusive admission that, as of
the |
19
LEASE
|
|
date
of the request for such statement: (i) this Lease is unmodified except as
may be represented by the requesting party in said request and is in full
force and effect, (ii) there are no uncured defaults in the requesting
party's performance, and (iii) no rent has been paid more than 30 days in
advance. At any time during the Lease Term Tenant shall, upon
10 days' prior written notice from Landlord, provide Tenant's most recent
financial statement and financial statements covering the 24 month period
prior to the date of such most recent financial statement to any existing
Lender or to any potential Lender or buyer of the
Premises. Such statements shall be prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and, if such is the normal
practice of Tenant, shall be audited by an independent certified public
accountant. Unless otherwise required by Landlord’s Lender or a
prospective purchaser or mortgagee of the Building, the initial form of
estoppel certificate to be signed by Tenant is attached hereto as Exhibit
I.
15.7 Reasonable
Consent: Whenever any party's approval or consent is
required by this Lease before an action may be taken by the other party,
such approval or consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned,
or delayed.
15.8 Notices: Any
notice required or desired to be given regarding this Lease shall be in
writing and may be given by personal delivery, by facsimile telecopy, by
courier service, or by mail. A notice shall be deemed to have
been given (i) on the third business day after mailing if such notice was
deposited in the United States mail, certified or registered, postage
prepaid, addressed to the party to be served at its Address for Notices
specified in Section Q or
Section R
of the Summary (as applicable), (ii) when delivered if given by personal
delivery, and (iii) in all other cases when actually received at the
party's Address for Notices. Either party may change its
address by giving notice of the same in accordance with this §15.8,
provided, however, that any address to which notices may be sent must be a
California address.
15.9 Attorneys'
Fees: In the event either Landlord or Tenant shall bring
any action or legal proceeding for an alleged breach of any provision of
this Lease, to recover rent, to terminate this Lease or otherwise to
enforce, protect or establish any term or covenant of this Lease, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover as a part of such action or
proceeding, or in a separate action brought for that purpose, reasonable
attorneys' fees, court costs, and experts' fees as may be fixed by the
court.
15.10 Corporate
Authority: If Tenant is a corporation (or partnership),
each individual executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant represents and
warrants that he is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on
behalf of such corporation in accordance with the by-laws of such
corporation (or partnership in accordance with the partnership agreement
of such partnership) and that this Lease is binding upon such corporation
(or partnership) in accordance with its terms. Each of the
persons executing this Lease on behalf of a corporation does hereby
covenant and warrant that the party for whom it is executing this Lease is
a duly authorized and existing corporation, that it is qualified to do
business in California, and that the corporation has full right and
authority to enter into this Lease. |
15.11 Miscellaneous: Should
any provision of this Lease prove to be invalid or illegal, such
invalidity or illegality shall in no way affect, impair or invalidate any
other provision hereof, and such remaining provisions shall remain in full
force and effect. Time is of the essence with respect to the
performance of every provision of this Lease in which time of performance
is a factor. The captions used in this Lease are for
convenience only and shall not be considered in the construction or
interpretation of any provision hereof. Any executed copy of
this Lease shall be deemed an original for all purposes. This
Lease shall, subject to the provisions regarding assignment, apply to and
bind the respective heirs, successors, executors, administrators and
assigns of Landlord and Tenant. "Party" shall mean Landlord or
Tenant, as the context implies. If Tenant consists of more than
one person or entity, then all members of Tenant shall be jointly and
severally liable hereunder. This Lease shall be construed and
enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of
California. The language in all parts of this Lease shall in
all cases be construed as a whole according to its fair meaning, and not
strictly for or against either Landlord or Tenant. When the
context of this Lease requires, the neuter gender includes the masculine,
the feminine, a partnership or corporation or joint venture, and the
singular includes the plural. The terms "shall", "will" and
"agree" are mandatory. The term "may" is
permissive. When a party is required to do something by this
Lease, it shall do so at its sole cost and expense without right of
reimbursement from the other party unless a provision of this Lease
expressly requires reimbursement. Landlord and Tenant agree
that (i) the gross leasable area of the Premises includes any atriums,
depressed loading docks, covered entrances or egresses, and covered
loading areas, (ii) each has had an opportunity to determine to its
satisfaction the actual area of the Project and the Premises, (iii) all
measurements of area contained in this Lease are conclusively agreed to be
correct and binding upon the parties, even if a subsequent measurement of
any one of these areas determines that it is more or less than the amount
of area reflected in this Lease, and (iv) any such subsequent
determination that the area is more or less than shown in this Lease shall
not result in a change in any of the computations of rent, improvement
allowances, or other matters described in this Lease where area is a
factor. Where a party hereto is obligated not to perform any
act, such party is also obligated to restrain any others within its
control from performing said act, including the Agents of such
party. Landlord shall not become or be deemed a partner or a
joint venturer with Tenant by reason of the provisions of this
Lease.
15.12 Termination by
Exercise of Right: If this Lease is terminated pursuant
to its terms by the proper exercise of a right to terminate specifically
granted to Landlord or Tenant by this Lease, then this Lease shall
terminate 30 days after the date the right to terminate is properly
exercised (unless another date is specified in that part of the Lease
creating the right, in which event the date so specified for termination
shall prevail), the rent and all other charges due hereunder shall be
prorated as of the date of termination, and neither Landlord nor Tenant
shall have any further rights or obligations under this Lease except for
those that have accrued prior to the date of termination or those
obligations which this Lease specifically provides are to survive
termination. This §15.12
does not apply to a |
20
LEASE
|
|
termination
of this Lease by Landlord as a result of an Event of Tenant's
Default.
15.13 Brokerage
Commissions: Each party hereto (i) represents and
warrants to the other that it has not had any dealings with any real
estate brokers, leasing agents or salesmen, or incurred any obligations
for the payment of real estate brokerage commissions or finder's fees
which would be earned or due and payable by reason of the execution of
this Lease, other than to the Retained Real Estate Brokers described in
Section S
of the Summary, and (ii) agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless
the other party from any claim for any such commission or fees which
result from the actions of the indemnifying party. Landlord
shall be responsible for the payment of any commission owed to the
Retained Real Estate Brokers if there is a separate written commission
agreement between Landlord and the Retained Real Estate Brokers for the
payment of a commission as a result of the execution of this
Lease.
15.14 Force
Majeure: Any prevention, delay or stoppage due to
strikes, lock-outs, inclement weather, labor disputes, inability to obtain
labor, materials, fuels or reasonable substitutes therefore, governmental
restrictions, regulations, controls, action or inaction, civil commotion,
fire or other acts of God, and other causes beyond the reasonable control
of the party obligated to perform (except financial inability) shall
excuse the performance, for a period equal to the period of any said
prevention, delay or stoppage, of any obligation hereunder except the
obligation of Tenant to pay rent or any other sums due
hereunder.
15.15 Entire
Agreement: This Lease constitutes the entire agreement
between the parties, and there are no binding agreements or
representations between the parties except as expressed
herein. Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor
Landlord's Agents has made any legally binding representation or warranty
as to any matter except those expressly set forth herein, including any
warranty as to (i) whether the Premises may be used for Tenant's intended
use under existing Law, (ii) the suitability of the Premises or the
Project for the conduct of Tenant's business, or (iii) the condition of
any improvements. There are no oral agreements between Landlord
and Tenant affecting this Lease, and this Lease supercedes and cancels any
and all previous negotiations, arrangements, brochures, agreements and
understandings, if any, between Landlord and Tenant or displayed by
Landlord to Tenant with respect to the subject matter of this
Lease. This instrument shall not be legally binding until it is
executed by both Landlord and Tenant. No subsequent change or
addition to this Lease shall be binding unless in writing and signed by
Landlord and Tenant.
15.16 USA Patriot Act
and Anti-Terrorism Laws.
(j) Tenant
represents and warrants to, and covenants with, Landlord that neither

FIRST
ADDENDUM TO LEASE
THIS FIRST ADDENDUM is dated
for reference purposes as April 15, 2008, and is made a part of that Lease
Agreement (the "Lease") dated April 15, 2008, by and between OA OAKCREEK,
L.L.C., a Delaware
limited liability company ("Landlord") and Proxim Wireless Corporation, a
Delaware corporation ("Tenant") affecting certain real property commonly known
as 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx. Capitalized terms used in this First
Addendum to Lease without definition shall have the meanings given to those
terms in the Lease. Landlord and Tenant agree to the following
Addendum to the Lease, which shall be a part of the Lease:
1. Condition of
Premises: Landlord shall deliver the Premises and
building systems (including, without limitation, all HVAC equipment and other
utility facilities, and fire extinguisher equipment) in good working condition,
including the roof in watertight condition. All mechanical,
electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and other utility equipment and roll up doors shall
be in good working condition and operable. Tenant’s sole remedy and Landlord’s
sole responsibility under this warranty shall be to rectify any defective item
of which Tenant supplies written notification, specifying the manner in which
this warranty has been breached, within 120 days after the
Commencement Date, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense (and not as a part of
Common Operating Expenses). Except as otherwise provided in the
Lease, Landlord makes no other warranties regarding condition of the Premises,
and requiring Landlord to repair defects to return the said matters to the
represented condition shall be Tenant’s sole remedy for any breach of this
provision. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the warranty on the
watertight condition of the roof shall extend until the later of 120 days after
the Commencement Date or five (5) days after the first significant rain of 2008
occuring after the Commencement Date, but not in any event after December 31,
2008. A “significant” rain shall be a day during which sufficient
rain falls that it would be reasonably likely that any existing leaks would
result in water penetration of the roof membrane, provided further, that no roof
leak or other failure of condition of any system or equipment which occurs due
to the acts or omissions of the Tenant shall be covered under this
warranty.
2. Landlord
Default. Without limiting its other rights set forth in the
Lease, if Landlord shall have failed to perform any term, covenant, or condition
of the Lease and Landlord shall have failed to cure such breach within 30 days
after written notice from Tenant specifying the nature of such breach where such
breach could reasonably be cured within said 30 day period, or if such breach
could not be reasonably cured within said 30 day period, Landlord shall have
failed to commence such cure within said 30 day period and thereafter continue
with due diligence to prosecute such cure to completion within such time period
as is reasonably needed, Tenant shall have the right to pursue legal remedies
for damages. At Tenant’s option before pursuing a damage remedy,
Tenant may give Landlord a second notice after the time for performance of the
initial notice has run out, in which Tenant shall notify Landlord that it
intends to use self-help to cure Landlord’s failure to perform identified in the
initial notice, shall specify what it is that Tenant proposes to do to cure the
failure to perform, and states the cost thereof. Tenant shall have
the right to perform such self help to cure Landlord’s failure to perform if
Landlord fails to perform within fifteen (15) days after said second notice (or
if Landlord’s failure to perform cannot reasonably be cured within said 15 day
period, Landlord shall have failed to commence such cure within said 15 day
period and thereafter continue with due diligence to prosecute such cure to
completion within such time period as is reasonably needed, not to exceed a
further thirty (30) days.
3. Tenant Payment for Items
listed in Section B of Exhibit C: Section B of Exhibit C
contains a list of items which are excluded from Landlord’s scope of work but
may nevertheless be desired by Tenant. Landlord will obtain costs for
each of these items from Landlord’s general contractor and present the list of
costs to Tenant. In the event that Tenant requests that Landlord have
its contractor construct and/or provide any of these items, Tenant shall do so
in writing, agree in writing to pay the cost thereof, and pay to Landlord, at
the time of the request, the cost of each additional item
requested. Upon receipt of such request and of advance payment of the
costs thereof, Landlord shall cause same to be constructed. Landlord
shall not be obligated to construct any of the Section B items unless payment is
received from Tenant in advance.
4. Additional HVAC Capacity in
Room Labeled “Manufacturing Area” on Exhibit C-1. Under
Heading “B” in Exhibit C, Tenant and Landlord have listed items which, upon
Tenant’s request, Landlord will provide costs for and then construct if Tenant
agrees to pay such costs. Tenant and Landlord have already agreed
that No. 11 under Heading B will be constructed by Landlord for Tenant on the
following basis: The “Manufacturing Area” will be supplied with a
total of 35 tons of HVAC capacity. As indicated in Exhibit C,
Landlord, at Landlord’s cost, will pay for 25 tons of
capacity. Tenant, at Tenant’s cost, shall pay for 10 tons of capacity
at a fixed cost of $25,000. Tenant’s payment of $25,000 for this
additional capacity shall be tendered to Landlord within five (5) business days
of execution of this Lease.
