THIS AGREEMENT OF SUBLEASE (this “Sublease”), is dated as of the day of January, 2004, between Lightbridgc, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Sublandlord”), and Primal Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation having an office at 00000 Xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxx, XX 00000, as subtenant (“Subtenant”).
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, pursuant to a certain Indenture of Office Building Lease dated as of October 31, 2000, as amended by the First Amendment to Lease, dated March 26, 2001 (collectively, the “Lease”) between CA-Tower 17 Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (as successor in interest to Xxxxxxx Properties, L.P), (the “Landlord”), and Sublandlord, as tenant, a redacted copy of which Lease is annexed hereto as Exhibit A and made a part hereof and which Subtenant represents having received and reviewed prior to the execution of this Sublease, Sublandlord does presently lease certain premises (the “Premises”) located on the seventh floor in the building (the “Building”) located at 00000 Xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, for the term, at the rentals and upon the other terms, covenants and conditions more fully described in the Lease;
WHEREAS, Subtenant desires to sublease from Sublandlord and Sublandlord desires to sublease to Subtenant the portion of the Premises on the seventh floor of the Building known as suite 750, consisting of 6,851 rental square feet (the “Sublet Premises”) upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the sum of One Dollar ($1.00) and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Sublandlord and Subtenant hereby covenant and agree as follows:
A G R E E M E N T:
Article 1. Term
A. Sublandlord hereby subleases to Subtenant, and Subtenant hereby hires from Sublandlord, the Sublet Premises for a term (the “Sublease Term”) commencing on the Sublease Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined) and expiring at 11:00 p.m. on May 31, 2006 (the “Sublease Expiration Date”), or on such earlier date upon which the Sublease Term shall be cancelled or terminated pursuant to any of the provisions, conditions or covenants of this Sublease. Subtenant hereby acknowledges and agrees Sublet Premises shall be deemed to contain approximately 6,851 rentable square feet. The “Sublease Commencement Date” shall mean February 1, 2004 or the date of final Landlord consent, subject to receipt of Landlord’s consent to this Sublease. Subtenant agrees to execute any consent reasonably proposed by Landlord and to otherwise fully cooperate with any reasonable requests of Landlord in connection with obtaining its consent; provided however, Subtenant shall not be required to
amend the terms and conditions of this Sublease as a requirement to obtain such consent. Sublandlord shall give Subtenant prompt notice of the Sublease Commencement Date.
B. Promptly after execution and delivery of the Sublease by both parties, Sublandlord shall submit a copy of the Sublease to Landlord in order to obtain its consent but Sublandlord shall not be obligated to incur any costs in seeking said consent (except to pay reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord in connection therewith) nor be obligated to incur any obligations not set forth in the Lease. If Landlord does not give its consent to this Sublease prior to Sublease Commencement Data, this Sublease shall terminate without further obligation of either party to the other except for Sublandlord’s obligation to refund any prepaid Base Rental and the Deposit (both as hereinafter defined). If such consent is obtained within such period, this Sublease shall remain in full force and effect.
Article 2. Base Rental; Additional Rental
A. Subtenant covenants and agrees to pay to Sublandlord rent (“Base Rental”) in equal monthly installments of $8,563.75 on the first day of every calendar month during the Sublease Term (except that Sublandlord waives Base Rental due for the second calendar month during the Sublease Term) at an annual rate of $102,765.00 from the Sublease Commencement Date through and including the Sublease Expiration Date. Base Rental shall be payable in advance, without notice, set-off, deduction, counterclaim or abatement. In the event the Sublease Commencement Date occurs on any day other than the first day of a month and insofar as the Sublease Expiration Date does occur on a day that is not the last day of a month, the Base Rental due for such partial months shall be prorated. Subtenant agrees to pay the Base Rental together with all other sums payable hereunder to Sublandlord in U.S. legal tender in good funds at the office of Sublandlord above stated or at such other place or to such other person(s) or party as Sublandlord may designate in writing.
B. Any amounts other than Base Rental payable by Subtenant to or on behalf of Sublandlord are herein referred to as “Additional Rental.” Any Additional Rental shall be due and payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord within twenty (20) days following invoice.
C. Any installment of Base Rental, Additional Rental or other charge not paid within ten (10) days after it is due and payable shall be subject to a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the overdue amount, and if not received within ten (10) days after the due date the amount due shall bear interest at the rate of nine percent (9%) per annum from the date it originally became due until it is paid and such amount(s) shall be deemed to be Additional Rental payable hereunder. Nothing contained in this Section is intended to grant Subtenant any extension of time in respect of the due dates for any payments under this Sublease, nor shall same be construed to be in limitation of or in substitution for any other rights, remedies and privileges of Sublandlord under this Sublease or otherwise.
Article 3. Condition of Sublet Premises; Use
Subtenant hereby represents, warrants, confirms and agrees that it has inspected the Sublet Premises, knows the condition thereof, and agrees to accept the same on the Sublease
2
Commencement Date “as is” subject to any and all defects therein, latent or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to Sublandlord’s knowledge, Sublandlord represents and warrants to Subtenant that the Sublet Premises comply with all applicable laws as of the Sublease Commencement Date. Subtenant acknowledges that Sublandlord has made no warranties or representations whatsoever with respect to the Building, the Premises, the Sublet Premises or the fixtures therein contained or therein to be contained on the Sublease Commencement Date. Subtenant agrees that except as otherwise expressly provided herein to the contrary, Sublandlord has no obligation to alter or repair the Building, the Premises, the Sublet Premises or any fixtures therein contained or therein to be contained on the Sublease Commencement Date or to prepare the same in any way for Subtenant’s occupancy or use other than to deliver the Sublet Premises to Subtenant in a “broom-clean” condition. In addition, Sublandlord agrees that as of the Sublease Commencement Date, there will remain in the Sublet Premises without representation or warranty of any kind by Sublandlord, Sublandlord’s existing furniture and data room, all as more particularly described on the inventory list attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit B (“Sublandlord’s Property”). Sublandlord’s Property shall remain the property of Sublandlord throughout the Sublease Term but shall be used, maintained and repaired by Subtenant, as Subtenant’s sole cost, expense and risk, throughout the Sublease Term. Upon Request by Subtenant and during the term of the Sublease, Sublandlord shall provide written authorization to any service provider required to maintain Sublandlord’s Property. Upon the Sublease Expiration Date and to the extent permitted under the Lease, ownership of said Property shall be transferred to Subtenant at Subtenant’s cost. As of the Sublease Expiration Date, Sublandlord represents that the Sublandlord Property detailed in Exhibit B is not encumbered by any party and it is “free and clear” from any lease, lien and UCC filing.
A. The Sublet Premises shall be used solely as permitted under the Lease and for no other use or purpose.
Article 4. Incorporation of Lease Provisions; Matters Affecting Sublandlord and Landlord
A. Subtenant hereby assumes performance of and agrees to perform all of the terms, obligations, covenants and conditions on the part of Sublandlord, as tenant, to be kept, observed and performed under the Lease with respect to the Sublet Premises during the Sublease Term. The terms of the Lease are hereby incorporated herein by this reference thereto so that, except to the extent that they are modified by the provisions of this Sublease, each and every term, covenant and condition of the Lease binding Sublandlord, as tenant, and inuring to the benefit of Landlord, shall, in respect of this Sublease, bind Subtenant and inure to the benefit of Sublandlord, with the same force and effect as if such terms, covenants and conditions were completely set forth in this Sublease, and as if the word(s): (i) “Landlord” appearing in the Lease was construed to mean “Sublandlord”; (ii) “Tenant” appearing in the Lease was construed to mean “Subtenant”; (iii) “this Lease” or words of similar import appearing in the Lease were construed to mean “this Sublease”; and (iv) Fixed Rent appearing in the Lease was construed to mean “Base Rental”. It is the intention of the parties hereto that, except as otherwise provided by the specific provisions of this Sublease, the respective obligations of Sublandlord and Subtenant hereunder shall be governed by the provisions of the Lease as incorporated herein by this reference thereto.
3
B. For the purposes of this Sublease, the following portions of the Lease, as incorporated herein pursuant to Section A of this Article, are subject to the following modifications:
(1) All provisions containing time limitations shall be deemed amended so that for each and every provision in the Lease pursuant to the terms of which Sublandlord, as tenant under the Lease, has a time limitation for the giving of notice, the making of demand, the keeping, observance or performance of any act, obligation, condition or covenant, or the exercise of any right, remedy or option, the corresponding provision of this Sublease (as incorporated herein and modified) in regard to Subtenant’s time limitation shall be further modified such that Subtenant shall give such notice, make such demand, keep, observe and perform any such act, obligation, condition or covenant to be kept, observed and performed by Sublandlord, or exercise any such right, remedy or option, within a time period which: (i) in the event the time period set forth in the Lease to do the same is less than or equal to five (5) days, then within a time period which is one (1) days shorter than the time period set forth in the Lease, but in no event shall Subtenant be afforded less than two (2) business days to comply; (ii) in the event the time period set forth in the Lease to do the same is more than five (5) days but less than or equal to fifteen (15) days, then within a time period which is two (2) days shorter than the time period set forth in the Lease (but in no event less than 5 days); and (iii) otherwise, within a time period which is five (5) days shorter than the time period set forth in the Lease for Sublandlord, as tenant thereunder, to do the same; provided, however, that in no event shall Subtenant permit a default to occur under the Lease (other than a default caused by Sublandlord not arising out of Subtenant’s acts or failures to act).
(2) Subtenant hereby expressly acknowledges and confirms that all rights of Landlord under the Lease may also be exercised by Sublandlord, and that in any circumstance in which Landlord’s consent is required, Landlord’s and Sublandlord’s consent shall be required and that such consent may be withheld, but not unreasonably withheld, in the sole and absolute discretion of either or both of Landlord or Sublandlord. If this Sublease is assigned, or if the Sublet Premises or any part thereof be underlet or occupied by anybody other than Subtenant, Sublandlord may, after default by Subtenant, collect rent from the assignee, undertenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the rent herein reserved, but no such assignment, underletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant, or the acceptance of the assignee, undertenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Subtenant from the further performance by Subtenant of any of the covenants on the part of Subtenant herein contained. The consent by Sublandlord to an assignment or underletting shall not in any wise be construed to relieve Subtenant from obtaining the express consent in writing of Sublandlord to any further assignment or underletting.
(3) In the event that the whole of the Sublet Premises shall be lawfully condemned or taken in any manner for any public or quasi-public use, this Sublease and the term and estate hereby granted shall forthwith cease and terminate as of the date of vesting of title. In the event that only a part of the Sublet Premises shall be so condemned or taken and neither Landlord or Sublandlord, as tenant under the Lease, terminates the Lease, as of the date of termination of the Lease, the Base Rental and Additional Rental payable under Article 2 hereof shall be abated proportionately according to the reduction in rentable area of the Sublet Premises resulting from such condemnation or taking.
4
C. Subtenant shall be entitled to receive the services, repairs and utilities, if any, to be supplied to the Sublet Premises under the Lease by Landlord. The foregoing notwithstanding, and notwithstanding the incorporation by reference herein of any of the terms and provisions of the Lease, Sublandlord shall have absolutely no obligation whatsoever to supply any services or utilities or make any repairs in or to the Sublet Premises or otherwise, and Subtenant shall not look to Sublandlord to provide same. Subtenant agrees to look solely to Landlord for any services, repairs, utilities, and/or work of any kind whatsoever to be furnished in or to the Sublet Premises and to seek such services, repairs, utilities, and/or work exclusively by requesting from Sublandlord that Sublandlord request same from Landlord on Subtenant’s behalf. Sublandlord shall have no responsibility of any kind whatsoever for any default of or by Landlord under the Lease or for the furnishing or failing to furnish to Subtenant or to the Sublet Premises any services of any kind whatsoever which Landlord is required to furnish to Sublandlord or to the Sublet Premises under the Lease. In furtherance (and without limitation) of the foregoing, Subtenant agrees that Sublandlord shall have no obligation to furnish heat, air conditioning, electricity, water, elevator service, cleaning service and/or any other services of any kind whatsoever, and that Sublandlord shall not be obligated to make any repairs or restorations of any kind whatsoever in or to the Sublet Premises, whether as a result of a casualty, condemnation or otherwise. If Landlord fails or refuses to comply with any of the provisions of the Lease insofar as they affect Subtenant’s occupancy of the Sublet Premises during the Sublease Term, Sublandlord, upon the request of Subtenant, shall exercise reasonable efforts (without thereby being required to expend any monies or incur any expense or liability or commence any action or proceeding) to cause Landlord to so comply. If, notwithstanding Sublandlord’s reasonable efforts, however, Subtenant’s use of the Sublet Premises is substantially impaired due to Landlord’s failure to perform any obligations under the Lease, Subtenant may, after ten (10) days’ written Notice to Sublandlord, at Subtenant’s sole expense, attempt to enforce Landlord’s performance of such obligations (provided Subtenant in each instance contemporaneously copies Sublandlord on any and all correspondence and other communications to Landlord and its counsel, if applicable). Nothing herein shall permit Subtenant to take any action which could reasonably jeopardize the status of the Lease. However, Sublandlord shall not be liable to Subtenant, and Subtenant’s obligations hereunder shall not be impaired nor the performance thereof be excused, because of any failure or delay by Landlord in performing its obligations under the Lease (or because Sublandlord fails in any way to enforce such obligations). To the extent permitted by law and contract, Subtenant shall be subrogated to Sublandlord’s rights against Landlord for Landlord’s failure to perform its terms and conditions under the Lease. Subtenant agrees to indemnify and hold Sublandlord harmless from and against any claim, liability, cost and expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with or resulting from any action of Subtenant pursuant to this Article.
D. If Sublandlord is unable to deliver possession of the Sublet Premises to Subtenant on the Sublease Commencement Date, except for reason of Sublandlord wrongful delay, Sublandlord shall not be subject to any liability for failure to give possession on said date and the validity of this Sublease shall not be impaired under such circumstances, nor shall the same be construed in any wise to extend the Sublease Term, nor shall there be any abatement of the Base Rental or Additional Rental payable hereunder except that the
5
obligation to pay the same shall not commence until possession of the Sublet Premises is delivered.
E. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of the Lease (as incorporated herein) including, without limitation Paragraph 12 thereof, Subtenant hereby agrees that Subtenant shall not perform and/or make any alterations, additions, improvements or installations of any kind or nature in or to the Sublet Premises (whether structural, nonstructural or otherwise) without in each instance obtaining the prior written consent of Sublandlord and, to the extent required under the Lease, the prior consent of Landlord. Any alterations to the Sublet Premises shall be undertaken by Subtenant strictly in accordance with the terms of Article 12 of the Lease, as modified hereby.
F. The following provisions of the Lease shall not be applicable to this Sublease or the Sublet Premises: 2B, 3, 6, 7A-7C and 12A (but only with respect to any restoration obligation for existing alterations on the date hereof), 19 and Exhibit C.
Article 5. Sublandlord’s Right to Cure
It is expressly noted, acknowledged and confirmed by Subtenant that a breach, default or failure to observe, perform or otherwise comply with all or any of the terms, obligations, covenants, conditions, rules and regulations in this Sublease on Subtenant’s part to be observed, performed or complied with shall be and be deemed to be a violation by Subtenant of a substantial and material obligation of the tenancy created by this Sublease entitling Sublandlord to pursue any and all rights, remedies and privileges provided under this Sublease, at law, in equity or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to immediately terminate said tenancy and recover possession of the Sublet Premises and/or to seek injunctive relief. Further, Sublandlord, as landlord, shall have all of the rights, privileges and remedies with respect to a default under this Sublease by Subtenant as Landlord, as landlord, has with respect to a default by Sublandlord, as tenant, under the Lease, with the same force and effect as if such rights, privileges and remedies were fully set forth herein at length, and Sublandlord shall have, with respect to Subtenant, this Sublease and the Sublet Premises, all of the rights, powers, privileges, immunities and remedies as are reserved by or granted to Landlord under the Lease as if the same were fully set forth herein at length; such rights, powers, privileges, immunities and remedies shall be in addition to all of those available to Sublandlord at law, in equity and otherwise. Subtenant hereby waives each and every right waived by Sublandlord, as tenant, under the Lease. Sublandlord shall not be responsible for any breach of the Lease by Landlord nor for any nonperformance or noncompliance with any provision thereof by Landlord regardless of the alleged cause thereof. In the event of any inconsistencies between or among provisions of this Sublease and the Lease, the terms of this Sublease shall govern.
Article 6. Compliance with Lease: Indemnification
A. Subtenant agrees not to do or permit to be done any act or thing or neglect to take any action which: (i) will constitute a default under, or breach or violation of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, the Lease; or (ii) will make Sublandlord liable for any damages, claims, fines, costs or penalties under the Lease; or (iii)
6
cause Sublandlord to lose any rights or remedies it may otherwise have under the Lease. Subtenant agrees to indemnify Sublandlord and hold Sublandlord harmless from and against all loss, liability, obligation, damage, penalty, cost, charge and expense of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees), whensoever asserted or occurring, which Sublandlord may incur or pay out, or which may be asserted against Sublandlord by reason of: (a) any breach or violation by Subtenant of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this Sublease; (b) any breach or violation by (or caused by) Subtenant of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of the Lease; (c) any work or thing of whatsoever kind done or not done in, on, or about the Building or the Sublet Premises (including, but not limited to, construction, alterations, repairs or acts of any kind whatsoever, and whether or not authorized by this Sublease) by Subtenant or Subtenant’s employees, contractors, agents, or any party under control or acting at its direction or on its behalf, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Sublandlord, its employees or agents; (d) any negligence, act or omission of Subtenant or Subtenant’s employees, contractors, agents or any party under Subtenant’s control or acting at Subtenant’s direction or on Subtenant’s behalf; or (e) any injuries to persons or property occurring in the Sublet Premises, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Sublandlord, its employees or agents.
B. In case Sublandlord shall be made a party to any litigation commenced against Subtenant with respect to this Sublease (other than any litigation resulting from any wrongful act or omission by Sublandlord), Subtenant shall protect and hold Sublandlord forever harmless and shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred or paid by Sublandlord in connection with such litigation. In furtherance of Subtenant’s obligations under this Article and this Sublease (and not in limitation thereof) Subtenant covenants and agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to carry and maintain in force throughout the Sublease Term all insurance policies required to be maintained pursuant to Paragraph 8 of the Lease, with limits of not less than those required of Sublandlord, as tenant, is required to obtain by Landlord, and otherwise upon all the terms of said Paragraph 8, with respect to the Sublet Premises. In addition, Subtenant shall also maintain in force throughout the Sublease Term casualty insurance in an amount not less than the total replacement value of Sublandlord’s Property. Without limiting Subtenant’s responsibilities hereunder or under the Lease (as incorporated herein), each of Sublandlord, Landlord and any other parties required under the Lease shall be named as additional insureds under all insurance policies and certificates required to be obtained by Subtenant hereunder (including the insurance required to be obtained by Subtenant on behalf of Sublandlord as tenant under the Lease); and such policies and certificates, if applicable, shall be delivered to Sublandlord prior to the Sublease Commencement Date and at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of any such policies, evidencing the renewal thereof.
C. Without in any way limiting any of Subtenant’s covenants, obligations and agreements contained in this Sublease (including, but not limited to, Sections A and B of this Article 6), the parties hereto, including but not limited to their respective employees, agents, partners, officers, shareholders and directors, release each other from all liability, whether for negligence or otherwise, in connection with all losses covered by any insurance policies which are carried by Sublandlord and Subtenant, as the case may be, or that Subtenant is required under this Sublease to carry with respect to the Sublet Premises.
7
Article 7. Subordination
This Sublease and all rights of Subtenant hereunder are and shall be subject and subordinate to the Lease and to all mortgages, ground leases, leasehold mortgages, encumbrances, condominium declarations, covenants, restrictions and other rights, if any, to which the Lease and Sublandlord’s interest therein are subject and to all subsequent amendments and modifications thereof, provided, however, such subsequent amendments and modifications with respect to the Lease which reduce Subtenant’s rights or increase Subtenant’s obligations under this Sublease (in each case other than in an immaterial manner) shall be subject to Subtenant’s prior written approval, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The provisions of the preceding sentence shall be self-operative, but Subtenant shall execute and deliver such confirmatory instruments of subordination as Sublandlord, Landlord or any mortgagee or ground lessor of the Building or any part thereof may require, as well as any instrument of attornment providing for the continued efficacy of the Lease or of this Sublease in the event of the foreclosure of any mortgage or the termination of the Lease, or any ground or other underlying lease.
Article 8. Quiet Enjoyment
Upon observing the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this Sublease, Subtenant shall and may lawfully and quietly hold and enjoy the Sublet Premises during the Sublease Term without hindrance, ejection, molestation or interruption by Sublandlord, subject to the terms and conditions of the Lease and this Sublease and all things and matters to which the Lease and this Sublease are subject or subordinate. The foregoing notwithstanding, if the Lease terminates or is terminated or forfeited for any reason whatsoever (other than as a result of Sublandlord’s surrender, wrongful acts or omissions) prior to the date on which this Sublease is scheduled to expire, this Sublease shall thereupon terminate. Sublandlord shall not be liable to Subtenant by reason of any such termination and thereafter shall have no further obligations to Subtenant hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublandlord agrees that, as long as Subtenant is not in default hereunder beyond any applicable notice and cure period, Sublandlord shall not voluntarily surrender or cancel the Lease (other than in accordance with the terms of the Lease) without the prior written consent of Subtenant, which may be granted or denied in Subtenant’s sole discretion, unless such surrender of cancellation is subordinate to or preserves Subtenant’s rights under this Sublease.
Article 9. Surrender of Sublet Space; Holdover
A. Upon the scheduled expiration or termination of this Sublease, or upon any earlier termination of this Sublease, Subtenant shall peaceably and quietly leave and surrender to Sublandlord the Sublet Premises together with Sublandlord’s Property, broom clean and in the condition and state of repair in which the Sublet Premises must be surrendered to Landlord under the Lease, provided, however, Subtenant shall not have any responsibility to remove any permanent Alterations made by Sublandlord which were existing in the Sublet Premises as of the Sublease Commencement Date.
8
B. Subtenant agrees and acknowledges that if the Sublet Premises are not surrendered and vacated as and at the time required by this Sublease (time being of the essence), Subtenant shall be liable to Sublandlord for: (i) all losses and damages which Sublandlord may incur or sustain by reason thereof, including, without limitation, all amounts due from Sublandlord to Landlord as well as reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and Subtenant shall indemnify Sublandlord against all claims made by Landlord and/or any succeeding tenants against Sublandlord or otherwise arising out of or resulting from the failure of Subtenant timely to surrender and vacate the Sublet Premises in accordance with the provisions of this Sublease; and (ii) per diem use and occupancy in respect of the Sublet Premises equal to two (2) times the Base Rental and Additional Rental payable hereunder (which amount Sublandlord and Subtenant presently agree is the minimum to which Sublandlord would be entitled and is presently contemplated by them as being fair and reasonable under such circumstances and not a penalty). In no event shall any provision hereof be construed as permitting Subtenant to hold over in possession of the Sublet Premises after the expiration or termination of the Sublease Term or to acquire any right or interest in the Sublet Premises by any such holding over beyond the Sublease Term.
Article 10. Broker
Subtenant and Sublandlord each represents, warrants and confirms to the other that it has not dealt with any real estate broker other than Xxxxxxx Realty and Xxxxx & Xxxxx (collectively, the “Broker”) in connection with this Sublease or any matter pertaining hereto. Subtenant and Sublandlord agree to indemnify and hold each other harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, damage or expense which the indemnitee may incur by reason of or in connection with any claim made by any party (other than the Broker) claiming to act for or on behalf of the indemnitor or to have dealt with the indemnitor or its employees, agents or representatives in connection with this Sublease or any matter pertaining hereto. This indemnity shall cover also any and all expenses which either party incurs to defend against any such claim, including, but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees. Sublandlord agrees to pay the Broker such commission as may be due to it pursuant to a separate agreement between Sublandlord and the Broker.

10
C. Sublandlord shall not be required so to use, apply or retain the whole or any part of the Deposit, but if the whole or any part thereof is so used, applied or retained, Subtenant shall within ten (10) days after demand immediately deposit with Sublandlord a sum equal to the amount so used, applied or retained. If Subtenant shall fully and faithfully comply with all the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements of this Sublease and other agreements between Subtenant and Sublandlord prior to the expiration of any applicable cure period, the Deposit or any balance thereof remaining shall be returned to Subtenant after the date fixed as the end of this Sublease and after delivery to Sublandlord of possession of the Sublet Premises in the condition required hereunder and under the Lease.

Article 13. Miscellaneous

All prior understandings and agreements between the parties hereto are merged in this Sublease, which alone fully and completely sets forth and embodies the entire agreement and understanding between Sublandlord and Subtenant relating to the subject matter hereof. This Sublease may not be modified or amended or any term or provision hereof waived or discharged except in a writing, signed by the party against whom such amendment, modification, waiver or discharge is sought to be enforced. All of the terms of this Sublease, whether so expressed or not, shall be binding upon the respective permitted successors and assigns of the parties hereto and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Sublandlord and Subtenant and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

Neither the submission of this Sublease to Subtenant nor the execution of this Sublease by Subtenant shall constitute an offer by Sublandlord to Subtenant to lease the space herein described as the Sublet Premises or otherwise. This Sublease shall not be or become binding upon Sublandlord or Subtenant to any extent or for any purpose unless and until it is executed by Sublandlord, consented to by Landlord and a fully executed copy thereof is delivered to Subtenant or Subtenant’s counsel.
Article 14. Landlord’s Consent
This Sublease and the obligations of the parties hereunder are expressly conditioned upon Sublandlord’s obtaining prior written consent hereto by Landlord.

Sublandlord and Subtenant hereby agree, for the benefit of Landlord, that this Sublease and Landlord’s consent hereto shall not (a) create privity of contract between Landlord and Subtenant, except to the extent expressly provided herein; (b) be deemed to have amended the Lease in any regard (unless Landlord shall have expressly agreed in writing to such amendment); or (c) be construed as a waiver of Landlord’s right to consent to any assignment of the Lease by Sublandlord or any further subletting of premises leased pursuant to the Lease, or as a waiver of Landlord’s right to consent to any assignment by Subtenant of this Sublease or any sub-letting of the Premises or any part thereof. Landlord’s consent shall, however, be deemed to evidence Landlord’s agreement that Subtenant may use the Premises for the purpose set forth in the Lease. If Landlord fails to consent to this Sublease within thirty (30) days after the execution and delivery of this Sublease, either party shall have the right to terminate this Sublease by giving written notice thereof to the other at any time thereafter, but before Landlord grants such consent.

1. PREMISES
Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, those premises (the “Premises”) outlined in red on Exhibit B and described in the Basic Lease Information. The Premises shall be all or part of a building (the “Building”) and of a project (the “Project”), which may consist of more than one building and additional facilities, as described in the Basic Lease Information. The Building and Project are outlined in blue and green respectively on Exhibit B. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that physical changes may occur from time to time in the Premises, Building or Project, and that the number of buildings and additional facilities which constitute the Project may change from time to time, which may result in an adjustment in Tenant’s Proportionate Share, as defined in the Basic Lease Information, as provided in Paragraph 7.A.
2. POSSESSION AND LEASE COMMENCEMENT
A. Existing Improvements. A subsidiary of Tenant is currently in possession of the Premises pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain sublease dated February 3, 1999 by and between Corsair Communications, Inc., as sublandlord and Wireless Billing Systems as subtenant (the “Sublease”). The subtenant shall be bound by the terms and conditions of the Sublease through April 30, 2001. The term commencement date (“Term Commencement Date”) of this Lease shall be May 1, 2001. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant has inspected and accepts the Premises in their present condition, “as is,” and as suitable for, the Permitted Use (as defined below), and for Tenant’s intended operations in the Premises subject to Tenant’s right to make the Tenant Improvements as further outlined in Exhibit C. Tenant may, subject to the terms set forth in Exhibit C, commence construction of the Tenant Improvements at any time after the date of this Lease; however, in no event must be completed no later than December 31, 2001. Tenant agrees that the Premises and other improvements are in good and satisfactory condition as of when possession was taken. Tenant further acknowledges that no representations as to the condition or repair of the Premises nor promises to alter, remodel or improve the Premises have been made by Landlord or any agents of Landlord unless such are expressly set forth in this Lease. Upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall promptly execute and return to Landlord a “Start-Up Letter” in which Tenant shall agree, among other things, to acceptance of the Premises and to the determination of the Term Commencement Date, in accordance with the terms of this Lease, but Tenant’s failure or refusal to do so shall not negate Tenant’s acceptance of the Premises or affect determination of the Term Commencement Date.
3. TERM

Tenant shall pay the Parking Charge specified in the Basic Lease Information as Additional Rent (as hereinafter defined) hereunder. So long as Tenant is occupying the Premises, Tenant and Tenant’s Parties shall have the nonexclusive right to use, in common with other parties occupying the Building, or Project, the parking areas, driveways and other common areas of the Building and Project, subject to the terms of this Lease and such rules and regulations as Landlord may from time to time prescribe. Landlord reserves the right, without notice or liability to Tenant, and without the same constituting an actual or constructive eviction, to alter or modify the common areas from time to time, including the location and configuration thereof, and the amenities and facilities which Landlord may determine to provide from time to time so long as such; alterations or modifications of the common areas do not materially and adversely interfere with
4

B. Limitations. Tenant shall not permit any odors, smoke, dust, gas, substances, noise or vibrations to emanate from the Premises or from any portion of the common areas as a result of Tenant’s or any Tenant’s Party’s use thereof, nor take any action which would constitute a nuisance or would disturb, obstruct or endanger any other tenants or occupants of the Building or Project or elsewhere, or interfere with their use of their respective premises or common areas. Storage outside the Premises of materials, vehicles or any other items is prohibited. Tenant shall not use or allow the Premises to be used for any immoral, improper or unlawful purpose, nor shall Tenant cause or maintain or permit any nuisance in, on or about the Premises. Tenant shall not commit or suffer the commission of any waste in, on or about the Premises. Tenant shall not allow any sale by auction upon the Premises, or place any loads upon the floors, walls or ceilings which could endanger the structure, or place any harmful substances in the drainage system of the Building or Project. No waste, materials or refuse shall be dumped upon or permitted to remain outside the Premises. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for the non-compliance by any other tenant or occupant of the Building or Project with any of the above-referenced rules or any other terms or provisions of such tenant’s or occupant’s lease or other contract.
C. Compliance with Regulations. By taking possession of the Premises, Tenant accepts the Premises in the condition existing as of the date of such entry. Tenant shall at its sole cost and expense strictly comply with all existing or future applicable municipal, state and federal and other governmental statutes, rules, requirements, regulations, laws and ordinances, including zoning ordinances and regulations, and covenants, casements and restrictions of record governing and relating to the use, occupancy or possession of the Premises, to Tenant’s use of the common areas, or to the use, storage, generation or disposal of Hazardous Materials (hereinafter defined) (collectively “Regulations”) subject to Tenant’s right to make the Tenant improvements outlined in Exhibit C. Tenant shall at its sole cost and expense obtain any and all licenses or permits necessary for Tenant’s use of the Premises. Tenant shall at its sole cost and expense promptly comply with the requirements of any board of fire underwriters or other similar body now or hereafter constituted. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in, on, under or about the Project or bring or keep anything which will in any way increase the rate of any insurance upon the Premises, Building or Project or upon any contents therein or cause a cancellation of said insurance or otherwise affect said insurance in any manner. Tenant shall indemnify, defend (by counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord), protect and hold Landlord harmless from and against any loss, cost, expense, damage, attorneys’ fees or liability arising out of the failure of Tenant to comply with any Regulation. Tenant’s obligations pursuant to the foregoing indemnity shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
D. Hazardous Materials. As used in this Lease, “Hazardous Materials” shall include, but not be limited to, hazardous, toxic and radioactive materials and those substances defined as “hazardous substances,” “hazardous materials,” “hazardous wastes,” “toxic substances,” or other similar designations in any Regulation. Tenant shall not cause, or allow any of Tenant’s Parties to cause, any Hazardous Materials to be handled, used, generated, stored, released or disposed of in, on, under or about the Premises, the Building or the Project or surrounding land or environment in violation of any Regulations. Tenant must obtain Landlord’s written consent prior to the introduction of any Hazardous Materials onto the Project. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may handle, store, use and dispose of products containing small quantities of Hazardous Materials for “general office purposes” (such as toner for copiers to the extent customary and necessary for the Permitted Use of the Premises; provided that Tenant shall always handle, store, use and dispose of any such Hazardous Materials in a safe and lawful manner and never allow such Hazardous Materials to contaminate the Premises, Building, or Project or surrounding land or environment. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord in writing of any Hazardous Materials’ contamination of any portion of the Project of which Tenant becomes aware, whether or not caused by Tenant. Landlord shall have the right at all reasonable times and if Landlord determines in good faith that Tenant may not be in compliance with this Paragraph 4.D to inspect the Premises and to conduct tests and investigations to determine whether Tenant is in compliance with the foregoing provisions, the costs of all such inspections, tests and investigations to be borne by Tenant. Tenant shall indemnify, defend (by counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord), protect and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, costs, loss of rents, liens, damages, injuries or expenses (including attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and court costs), demands, causes of action, or judgments directly or indirectly rising out of or related to the use, generation, storage, release, or disposal of Hazardous Materials by Tenant or any of Tenant’s Parties in, on, under or about the Premises, the Building or the Project or surrounding land or environment, which indemnity shall include, without limitation, damages for personal or bodily injury, property damage, damage to the environment or natural resources occurring on or off the Premises, losses attributable to diminution in value or adverse effects on marketability, the cost of any investigation, monitoring, government oversight, repair, removal, remediation, restoration, abatement, and disposal, and the preparation of any closure or other required plans, whether such action is required or necessary prior to or following the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Neither the consent by Landlord to the use, generation, storage, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials nor the strict compliance by Tenant with all laws pertaining to Hazardous Materials shall excuse Tenant from Tenant’s obligation of indemnification pursuant to this Paragraph 4.D. Tenant’s obligations pursuant to the foregoing indemnity shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
Tenant shall faithfully observe and comply with the building rules and regulations attached hereto as Exhibit A and any other rules and regulations and any modifications or additions thereto which Landlord may from time to time prescribe in writing for the purpose of maintaining the proper care, cleanliness, safety, traffic flow and general order of the Premises or the Building or Project.

Landlord’s determination of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Building and of the Project shall be conclusive so long as it is reasonably and consistently applied. “Operating Expenses” shall mean all expenses and costs of every kind and nature which Landlord shall pay or become obligated to pay, because of or in connection with the ownership, management, maintenance, repair, preservation, replacement and operation of the Building or Project and its supporting facilities and such additional facilities now and in subsequent years as may be determined by Landlord to be necessary or desirable to the Building and/or Project (as determined in a reasonable manner) other than those expenses and costs which are specifically attributable to Tenant or which are expressly made the financial responsibility of Landlord or specific tenants of the Building or Project pursuant to this Lease.

Operating Expenses shall also include any taxes, assessments, reassessments, or other fees or impositions with respect to the development, leasing, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy of the Premises, Building or Project or any portion thereof, including, without limitation, by or for Tenant, and all increases therein or reassessments thereof whether the increases or reassessments result from increased rate and/or valuation (whether upon a transfer of the Building or Project or any portion thereof or any interest therein or for any other reason). Operating Expenses shall not include inheritance or estate taxes imposed upon or assessed against the interest of any person in the Project, or taxes computed upon the basis of the net income of any owners of any interest in the Project. If it shall not be lawful for Tenant to reimburse Landlord for all or any part of such taxes, the monthly rental payable to Landlord under this Lease shall be revised to net Landlord the same net rental after imposition of any such taxes by Landlord as would have been payable to Landlord prior to the payment of any such taxes.

(b) Repairs, replacements, and general maintenance shall include the cost of any improvements made to or assets acquired for the Project or Building that in Landlord’s discretion may reduce any other Operating Expenses, including present or future repair work, are reasonably necessary for the health and safety of the occupants of the Building or Project, or for the operation of the Building systems, services and equipment, or are required to comply with any Regulation, such costs or allocable portions thereof to be amortized over such reasonable period as Landlord shall determine, together with interest on the unamortized balance at the publicly announced “prime rate” charged by Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. (San Francisco) or its successor at the time such improvements or capital assets are constructed or acquired, plus two (2) percentage points, or in the absence of such prime rate, then at the U.S. Treasury six-month market note (or bond, if so designated) rate as published by any national financial publication selected by Landlord, plus four (4) percentage points, but in no event more than the maximum rate permitted by law, plus reasonable financing charges.
(c) Payment under or for any easement, license, permit, operating agreement, declaration, restrictive covenant or instrument relating to the Building or Project.

(g) A management and accounting cost recovery fee equal to five percent (5%) of the sum of the Project’s revenues.
If the rentable area of the Building and/or Project is not fully occupied during the Base Year or any fiscal year of the Term as determined by Landlord, an adjustment shall be made in computing the Operating Expenses for such year so that Tenant pays an equitable portion of
6
all variable items (e.g., utilities, janitorial services and other component expenses that are affected by variations in occupancy levels) of Operating Expenses, as reasonably determined by Landlord; provided, however, that in no event shall Landlord be entitled to collect in excess of one hundred percent (100%) of the total Operating Expenses from all of the tenants in the Building or Project, as the case may be.
Operating Expenses shall not include the cost of providing tenant improvements or other specific costs incurred for the account of, separately billed to and paid by specific tenants of the Building or Project, the initial construction cost of the Building, or debt service on any mortgage or deed of trust recorded with respect to the Project other than pursuant to Paragraph 7.A(3)(b) above. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in any instance wherein Landlord, in Landlord’s discretion, deems Tenant to be responsible for any amounts greater than Tenant’s Proportionate Share, Landlord shall have the right to allocate costs in any manner Landlord deems appropriate. Operating expenses shall also by way of example, but not limitation, not include (i) depreciation, amortization and interest payments by Landlord, (ii) brokerage commissions, finder’s fees, attorneys’ fees, space planning costs and other costs incurred by Landlord in leasing or attempting to lease space in the Building, (iii) Landlord’s general corporate overhead (other than fee provided for in Section 7(3)(g) above.
The above enumeration of services and facilities shall not be deemed to impose an obligation on Landlord to make available or provide such services or facilities except to the extent if any that Landlord has specifically agreed elsewhere in this Lease to make the same available or provide the same. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it shall be responsible for providing adequate security for its use of the Premises, the Building and the Project and that Landlord shall have no obligation or liability with respect thereto, except to the extent if any that Landlord has specifically agreed elsewhere in this Lease to provide the same.
B. Payment of Estimated Operating Expenses. “Estimated Operating Expenses” for any particular year shall mean Landlord’s estimate of the Operating Expenses for such fiscal year made with respect to such fiscal year as hereinafter provided. Landlord shall have the right from time to time to revise its fiscal year and interim accounting periods so long as the periods as so revised are reconciled with prior periods in a reasonable manner. During the last month of each fiscal year during the Term, or as soon thereafter as practicable, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of the Estimated Operating Expenses for the ensuing fiscal year. Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the difference between Estimated Operating Expenses and Base Year Operating Expenses with installments of Base Rent for the fiscal year to which the Estimated Operating Expenses applies in monthly installments on the first day of each calendar month during such year, in advance. Such payment shall be construed to be Additional Rent for all purposes hereunder. If at any time during the course of the fiscal year, Landlord determines that Operating Expenses are projected to vary from the then Estimated Operating Expenses by more than five percent (5%), Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant, revise the Estimated Operating Expenses for the balance of such fiscal year, and Tenant’s monthly installments for the remainder of such year shall be adjusted so that by the end of such fiscal year Tenant has paid to Landlord Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the revised difference between Estimated Operating Expenses and Base Year Operating Expenses for such year, such revised installment amounts to be Additional Rent for all purposes hereunder.
C. Computation of Operating Expense Adjustment. “Operating Expense Adjustment” shall mean the difference between Estimated Operating Expenses and actual Operating Expenses for any fiscal year, over Base Year Operating Expenses, determined as hereinafter provided. Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year, or as soon thereafter as practicable, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement of actual Operating Expenses for the fiscal year just ended, accompanied by a computation of Operating Expense Adjustment. If such statement shows that Tenant’s payment based upon Estimated Operating Expenses is less than Tenant’s Proportionate Share of actual increases in Operating Expenses over the Base Year Operating Expenses, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord the difference within twenty (20) days after receipt of such statement, such payment to constitute Additional Rent for all purposes hereunder. If such statement shows that Tenant’s payments of Estimated Operating Expenses exceed Tenant’s Proportionate Share of actual increases in Operating Expenses over the Base Year Operating Expenses, then (provided that Tenant is not in default under this Lease) Landlord shall pay to Tenant the difference within twenty (20) days after delivery of such statement to Tenant. If this Lease has been terminated or the Term hereof has expired prior to the date of such statement, then the Operating Expense Adjustment shall be paid by the appropriate party within twenty (20) days after the date of delivery of the statement. Tenant’s obligation to pay increases in Operating Expenses over the Base Year Operating Expenses shall commence on January 1 of the year succeeding the Base Year. Should this Lease terminate at any time other than the last day of the fiscal year, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Operating Expense Adjustment shall be prorated based on a month of 30 days and the number of calendar months during such fiscal year that this Lease is in effect. Tenant shall in no event be entitled to any credit if Operating Expenses in any year are less than Base Year Operating Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Paragraph 7.A or 7.B, Landlord’s failure to provide any notices or statements within the time periods specified in those paragraphs shall in no way excuse Tenant from its obligation to pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of increases in Operating Expenses.
X. Xxxxx Lease. This shall be a gross Lease; however, it is intended that Base Rent shall be paid to Landlord absolutely net of all costs and expenses other than Operating Expenses each year equal to Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Base Year Operating Expenses, except as otherwise specifically provided to the contrary in this Lease. The provisions for payment of increases in Operating Expenses and the Operating Expense Adjustment are intended to pass on to Tenant and reimburse Landlord for all costs and expenses of the nature described in Paragraph 7.A incurred in connection with the ownership, management, maintenance, repair, preservation, replacement and operation of the Building and/or Project and its supporting facilities and such additional facilities, in excess of the Base Year Operating Expenses, now and in subsequent years as may be determined by Landlord to be necessary or desirable to the Building and/or Project.
E. Tenant Audit. If Tenant, shall dispute the amount set forth in any statement provided by Landlord under Paragraph 7.B or 7.C above, Tenant shall have the right, not later then thirty (30) days following receipt of such statement and upon the condition that Tenant shall first deposit with Landlord the full amount in dispute, to cause Landlord’s books and records with respect to Operating Expenses for such fiscal year to be audited by certified public accountants selected by Tenant and subject to Landlord’s reasonable right of approval. The Operating Expense Adjustment shall be appropriately adjusted on the basis of such audit. If such audit discloses a liability for a refund in excess of ten percent (10%) of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Operating Expenses previously reported, the cost of such audit shall be borne by Landlord; otherwise the cost of such audit shall be paid by Tenant. If Tenant shall not request an audit in accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph 7.E within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s statement provided pursuant to Paragraph 7.B or 7.C, such statement shall be final and binding for all purposes hereof. Tenant shall not in any manner disclose, provide or make available any information revealed by the audit to any person or entity other than Tenant’s accountants and legal advisors which shall be used for sole purpose of advising Tenant only without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion. The information disclosed by the audit will be used by Tenant solely for the purpose of evaluating Landlord’s books and records in connection with this Paragraph 7.E.

Tenant shall cause all Alterations to be accomplished in a first-class, good and workmanlike manner, and to comply with all applicable Regulations and Paragraph 27 hereof. Tenant shall atTenant’s sole expense, perform any additional work required under applicable Regulations due to Alterations hereunder. No review or consent by Landlord of or to any proposed Alteration or additional work shall constitute a waiver of Tenant’s obligations under this Paragraph 12, nor constitute any warranty or representation that the same complies with all applicable Regulations, for which Tenant shall at all times be solely responsible. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs which Landlord may incur in connection with granting approval to Tenant for any such Alterations, including any costs or expenses which Landlord may incur in electing to have outside architects and engineers review said plans and specifications, and shall pay Landlord an administration fee of fifteen percent (15%) if under $500 and eight percent (8%) if over $500of the cost of the Alterations as Additional Rent hereunder.

All such removals and restoration shall be accomplished in a first-class and good and workmanlike manner so as not to cause any damage to the Premises or Project whatsoever. If Tenant fails to remove such Alterations or Tenant’s trade fixtures or furniture or other personal
9
property, Landlord may keep and use them or remove any of them and cause them to be stored or sold in accordance with applicable law, at Tenant’s sole expense. In addition to and wholly apart from Tenant’s obligation to pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses, Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay prior to delinquency any taxes or governmental service fees, possessory interest taxes, fees or charges in lieu of any such taxes, capital levies, or other charges imposed upon, levied with respect to or assessed against its fixtures or personal property, on the value of Alterations within the Premises, and on Tenant’s interest pursuant to this Lease, or any increase in any of the foregoing based on such Alterations. To the extent that any such taxes are not separately assessed or billed to Tenant, Tenant shall pay the amount thereof as invoiced to Tenant by Landlord.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, at Landlord’s option (but without obligation), all or any portion of the Alterations shall be performed by Landlord for Tenant’s account and Tenant shall pay Landlord’s estimate of the cost thereof (including a charge for Landlord’s overhead and profit) prior to commencement of the work. In addition, at Landlord’s election and notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost of removing any such Alterations and restoring the Premises to their original condition such cost to include a reasonable charge for Landlord’s overhead and profit as provided above, and such amount may be deducted from the Security Deposit or any other sums or amounts held by Landlord under this Lease.

In compliance with Paragraph 27 hereof, at least ten (10) business days before beginning construction of any Alteration, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of the expected commencement date of that construction to permit Landlord to post and record a notice of non-responsibility.

Tenant shall not place, install, affix, paint or maintain any signs, notices, graphics or banners whatsoever or any window decor which is visible in or from public view or corridors, the common areas or the exterior of the Premises or the Building, in or on any exterior window or window fronting upon any common areas or service area without Landlord’s prior written approval which Landlord shall have the right to withhold in its absolute and sole discretion; provided that Tenant’s name shall be included in any Building-standard door and directory signage, if any, in accordance with Landlord’s Building signage program, including without limitation, payment by Tenant of any fee charged by Landlord for maintaining such signage, which fee shall constitute Additional Rent hereunder. Any installation of signs, notices, graphics or banners on or about the Premises or Project approved by Landlord shall be subject to any Regulations and to any other requirements imposed by Landlord. Tenant shall remove all such signs or graphics by the expiration or any earlier termination of this Lease. Such installations and removals shall be made in such manner as to avoid injury to or defacement of the Premises, Building or Project and any other improvements contained therein, and Tenant shall repair any injury or defacement including without limitation discoloration caused by such installation or removal.

Tenant waives any claim for damages for any injury or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any other loss occasioned thereby. Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all of the doors in, upon and about the Premises, excluding Tenant’s vaults and safes or special security areas (designated in advance), and Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means which Landlord may deem necessary or proper to open said doors in an emergency, in order to obtain entry to any portion of the Premises, and any entry to the Premises or portions thereof obtained by Landlord by any of said means, or otherwise, shall not be construed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant from the Premises or any portions thereof. At any time within six (6) months prior to the expiration of the Term or following any earlier termination of this Lease or agreement to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to erect on the Premises, Building and/or Project a suitable sign indicating that the Premises are available for lease.
A. There currently exists within or serving the Premises separate meters to determine the amount of electricity supplied to the Premises, and Tenant shall pay to the appropriate utility company the cost of all such electricity as shown by such meters IF any such charges are not paid to the appropriate utility company when due, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to) pay the same, and any amount so paid by Landlord shall thereupon become due to Landlord from Tenant, as additional rent. In addition, Tenant agrees to pay directly to Landlord, in addition to Monthly Base Rent and Tenant’s Percentage of Operating Expenses, any costs incurred by Landlord to maintain the HVAC system serving the Building which are solely attributable to Tenant’s after hour usage, as equitably determined by Landlord based on appropriate engineering data.
B. Provided Tenant shall not be in default hereunder, and subject to the provisions elsewhere herein contained and to the rules and regulations of the Building, Landlord shall furnish to the Premises during ordinary business hours of generally recognized business days, to be determined by Landlord (but exclusive, in any event, of Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays), heat and air conditioning as usually furnished or supplied for use of the Premises for reasonable and normal office use as of the date Tenant takes possession of the Premises (but not including above-standard or continuous cooling for excessive heat-generating machines, excess lighting or equipment), janitorial services during the times and in the manner that such services are, in Landlord’s judgment, customarily furnished in comparable office buildings in the immediate market area, Landlord shall provide water for lavatory and drinking purposes, electricity and elevator service which shall mean service either by nonattended automatic elevators or elevators with attendants, or both, at the option of Landlord, twenty-four (24) hours per day seven (7) days per week. Elevator service and access to the Building after normal business hours shall be provided by access controlled security cards. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant has inspected and accepts the water, electricity, heat and air conditioning and other utilities and services being supplied or furnished to the Premises as of the date Tenant takes possession of the Premises, as being sufficient for use of the Premises for reasonable and normal office use in their present condition, “as is,” and suitable for the Permitted Use, and for Tenant’s intended operations in the Premises. Landlord shall have no obligation to provide additional or after-hours heating or air conditioning in addition to the heating and air conditioning being provided on the date of this Lease, but if Landlord elects to provide such services at Tenant’s request, Tenant shall pay upon demand to Landlord a reasonable charge for such services as determined by Landlord. Tenant agrees to keep and cause to be kept closed all window covering when necessary because of the sun’s position, and
10
Tenant also agrees at all times to cooperate fully with Landlord and to abide by all of the regulations and requirements which Landlord may reasonably prescribe for the proper functioning and protection of electrical, heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems. Wherever heat-generating machines, excess lighting or equipment are used in the Premises which affect the temperature otherwise maintained by the air conditioning system, Landlord reserves the right to install supplementary air conditioning units in the Premises and the cost thereof, including the cost of installation and the cost of operation and maintenance thereof, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand by Landlord.
C. Tenant shall not without written consent of Landlord use any apparatus, equipment or device in the Premises, using excess lighting or using electric current, water, or any other resource in excess of or which will in any way increase the amount of electricity, water, or any other resource being furnished or supplied for the use of the Premises for reasonable and normal office use, in each case as of the date Tenant takes possession of the Premises and as reasonably determined by Landlord, or which will require additions or alterations to or interfere with the Building power distribution systems; nor connect with electric current, except through existing electrical outlets in the Premises or water pipes, any apparatus, equipment or device for the purpose of using electrical current, water, or any other resource. If Tenant shall require water or electric current or any other resource in excess of that being furnished or supplied for the use of the Premises as of the date Tenant takes possession of the Premises as determined by Landlord, Tenant shall first procure the written consent of Landlord which Landlord may refuse, to the use thereof, and Landlord may cause a special meter to be installed in the Premises so as to measure the amount of water, electric current or other resource consumed for any such other use. Tenant shall pay directly to Landlord upon demand as an addition to and separate from payment of Operating Expenses the cost of all such additional resources, energy, utility service and meters (and of installation, maintenance and repair thereof and of any additional circuits or other equipment necessary to furnish such additional resources, energy, utility or service). Landlord may add to the separate of metered charge a recovery of additional expense incurred in keeping account of the excess water, electric current or other resource so consumed Landlord agrees that Tenant’s use of the Premises prior to the date of this Lease has not been such as to warrant the installation of a water meter to measure Tenant’s water consumption and that so long as Tenant’s use of the Premises remains reasonably consistent with such prior use. Landlord will not install any water meter to measure Tenant’s water consumption unless requested to do so by Tenant. Following receipt of Tenant’s request to do so, Landlord shall use good faith efforts to restore any service specifically to beprovided under Paragraph 15 that becomes unavailable and which is in Landlord’s reasonable control to restore; provided, however, that except to the extent caused by of gross negligence or willful misconduct Landlord shall in no case be liable for any damages directly or indirectly resulting from nor shall the Rent or any monies owed Landlord under this Lease herein reserved be abated by reason of: (a) the installation, use or interruption of use of any equipment used in connection with the furnishing of any such utilities or services, or any change in the character or means of supplying or providing any such utilities or services or any supplier thereof; (b) the failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any such utilities or services when such failure or delay is caused by acts of God or the elements, labor disturbances of any character, or otherwise or because of any interruption of service due to Tenant’s use of water, electric current or other resource in excess of that being supplied or furnished for the use of the Premises as of the date Tenant takes possession of the Premises; (c) the inadequacy, limitation, curtailment, rationing or restriction on use of water, electricity, gas or any other form of energy or any other service or utility whatsoever serving the Premises or Project, whether by Regulation or otherwise; or (d) the partial or total unavailability of any such utilities or services to the Premises or the Building or the diminution in the quality or quantity thereof, whether by Regulation or otherwise; or (c) any interruption in Tenant’s business operations as a result of any such occurrence; nor shall any such occurrence constitute an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant or a breach of an implied warranty by Landlord. Landlord shall further have no obligation to protect or preserve any apparatus, equipment or device installed by Tenant in the Premises, including without limitation by providing additional or after-hours heating or air conditioning. Landlord shall be entitled to cooperate voluntarily and in a reasonable manner with the efforts of national, state or local governmental agencies or utility suppliers in reducing energy or other resource consumption. The obligation to make services available hereunder shall be subject to the limitations of any such voluntary, reasonable program. In addition, Landlord reserves the right to change the supplier or provider of any such utility or service from time to time. Tenant shall have no right to contract with or otherwise obtain any electrical or other such service for or with respect to the Premises or Tenant’s operations therein from any supplier or provider of any such service. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord and any supplier or provider of such services designated by Landlord from time to time to facilitate the delivery of such services to Tenant at the Premises and to the Building and Project, including without limitation allowing Landlord and Landlord’s suppliers or providers, and their respective agents and contractors, reasonable access to the Premises for the purpose of installing, maintaining, repairing, replacing or upgrading such service or any equipment or machinery associated therewith.
D. Tenant shall pay, upon demand, for all utilities furnished to the Premises, or if not separately billed to or metered to Tenant, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of all charges jointly serving the Project in accordance with Paragraph 7. All sums payable under this Paragraph 15shall constitute Additional Rent hereunder.
E. Tenant may contract separately with providers of telecommunications or cellular products, systems or services for the Premises. Even though such products, systems or services may be installed or provided by such providers in the Building, in consideration for Landlord’s permitting such providers to provide such services to Tenant, Tenant agrees that Landlord and the Landlord Indemnitees shall in no event be liable to Tenant or any Tenant Party for any damages of any nature whatsoever arising out of or relating to the products, systems or services provided by such providers (or any failure, interruption, defect in or loss of the same) or any acts or omissions of such providers in connection with the same or any interference in Tenant’s business caused thereby. Tenant waives and releases all rights and remedies against Landlord and the Landlord Indemnitees that are inconsistent with the foregoing.
16. SUBORDINATION
Without the necessity of any additional document being executed by Tenant for the purpose of effecting a subordination, this Lease shall be and is hereby declared to be subject and subordinate at all times to: (a) all ground leases or underlying leases which may now exist or hereafter be executed affecting the Premises and/or the land upon which the Premises and Project are situated, or both; and (b) any mortgage or deed of trust which may now exist or be placed upon the Building, the Project and/or the land upon which the Premises or the Project are situated, or said ground leases or underlying leases, or Landlord’s interest or estate in any of said items which is specified as security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to subordinate or cause to be subordinated any such ground leases or underlying leases or any such liens to this Lease. If any ground lease or underlying lease terminates for any reason or any mortgage or deed of trust is foreclosed or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure is made for any reason, Tenant shall, notwithstanding any subordination, attorn to and become the Tenant of the successor in interest to Landlord provided that Tenant shall not be disturbed in its possession under this Lease by such successor in interest so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease. Within ten (10) days after request by Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver any additional documents evidencing Tenant’s attornment or the subordination of this Lease with respect to any such ground leases or underlying leases or any such mortgage or deed of trust, reasonably requested by Landlord or by any ground landlord, mortgagee, or beneficiary under a deed of trust, subject to such nondisturbance requirement. If requested in writing by Tenant, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement for the benefit of Tenant reflecting the foregoing from any ground landlord, mortgagee or beneficiary, at Tenant’s expense, subject to such other reasonabe terms and conditions as the ground landlord, mortgagee or beneficiary may require.
11
At the request of Landlord, Tenant shall provide to Landlord Tenant’s and any guarantor’s current financial statements or other information discussing financial worth of Tenant and any guarantor, which Landlord shall use solely for purposes of this Lease and in connection with the ownership, management, financing and disposition of the Project.
Tenant agrees from time to time, within ten (10) days after request of Landlord, to deliver to Landlord, or Landlord’s designee, an estoppel certificate stating that this Lease is in full force and effect, that this Lease has not been modified (or stating all modifications, written or oral, to this Lease), the date to which Rent has been paid, the unexpired portion of this Lease, that there are no current defaults by Landlord or Tenant under this Lease (or specifying any such defaults), that the leasehold estate granted by this Lease is the sole interest of Tenant in the Premises and/or the land at which the Premises are situated, and such other matters pertaining to this Lease as may be reasonably requested by Landlord or any mortgagee, beneficiary, purchaser or prospective purchaser of the Building or Project or any interest therein. Failure by Tenant to execute and deliver such certificate shall constitute an acceptance of the Premises and acknowledgment by Tenant that the statements included are true and correct without exception. Tenant agrees that if Tenant fails to execute and deliver such certificate within such ten (10) day period, Landlord may execute and deliver such certificate on Tenant’s behalf and that such certificate shall be binding on Tenant. Landlord and Tenant intend that any statement delivered pursuant to this Paragraph may be relied upon by any mortgagee, beneficiary, purchaser or prospective purchaser of the Building or Project or any interest therein. The parties agree that Tenant’s obligation to furnish such estoppel certificates in a timely fashion is a material inducement for Landlord’s execution of this Lease, and shall be an event of default (without any cure period that might be provided under Paragraph 26.A(3) of this Lease) if Tenant fails to fully comply or makes any material misstatement in any such certificate.
19. SECURITY DEPOSIT
Tenant agrees to deposit with Landlord on or prior to February 1 2001, a security deposit as stated in the Basic Lease Information (the “Security Deposit”), which sum shall be held and owned by Landlord, without obligation to pay interest, as security for the performance of Tenant’s covenants and obligations under this Lease. The Security Deposit is not an advance rental deposit or a measure of damages incurred by Landlord in case of Tenant’s default. Upon the occurrence of any event of default by Tenant, Landlord may from time to time, without prejudice to any other remedy provided herein or by law, use such fund as a credit to the extent necessary to credit against any arrears of Rent or other payments due to Landlord hereunder, and any other damage, injury, expense or liability caused by such event of default, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, the amount so applied in order to restore the Security Deposit to itsoriginal amount. Although the Security Deposit shall be deemed the property of Landlord, any remaining balance of such deposit shall be returned by Landlord to Tenant at such time after termination of this Lease that all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease have been fulfilled, reduced by such amounts as may be required by Landlord to remedy defaults on the part of Tenant in the payment of Rent or other obligations of Tenant under this Lease, to repair damage to the Premises, Building or Project caused by Tenant or any Tenant’s Parties and to clean the Premises. Landlord is hereby granted a security interest in the Security Deposit in accordance with applicable provisions of the California Commercial Code. Landlord may use and commingle the Security Deposit with other funds of Landlord. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, and all other provisions of any Regulations, now or hereinafter in force, which restricts the amount or types of claim that a landlord may make upon a security deposit or imposes upon a landlord (or its successors) any obligation with respect to the handling or return of security deposits.
20. LIMITATION OF TENANT’S REMEDIES
The obligations and liability of Landlord to Tenant for any default by Landlord under the terms of this Lease are not personal obligations of Landlord or of the individual or other partners of Landlord or its or their partners, directors, officers, or shareholders, and Tenant agrees to look solely to Landlord’s interest in the Project for the recovery of any amount from Landlord, and shall not look to other assets of Landlord nor seek recourse against the assets of the individual or other partners of Landlord or its or their partners, directors, officers or shareholders. Any lien obtained to enforce any such judgment and any levy of execution thereon shall be subject and subordinate to any lien, mortgage or deed of trust on the Project. Under no circumstances shall Tenant have the right to offset against or recoup Rent or other payments due and to become due to Landlord hereunder except as expressly provided in this Lease, which Rent and other payments shall be absolutely due and payable hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof. In no case shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any lost profits, damage to business, or any form of special, indirect or consequential damage on account of any breach of this Lease or otherwise, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease.
A. (1) General. This Lease has been negotiated to be and is granted as an accommodation to Tenant. Accordingly, this Lease is personal to Tenant, and Tenant’s rights granted hereunder do not include the right to assign this Lease or sublease the Premises, or to receive any excess, either in installments or lump sum, over the Rent which is expressly reserved by Landlord as hereinafter provided, except as otherwise expressly hereinafter provided. Tenant shall not assign or pledge this Lease or sublet the Premises or any part thereof, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, or permit the use or occupancy of the Premises or any part thereof by anyone other than Tenant, or suffer or permit any such assignment, pledge, subleasing or occupancy, without Landlord’s prior written consent except as provided herein. If Tenant desires to assign this Lease or sublet any or all of the Premises, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice (the “Transfer Notice”) at least sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated effective date of the proposed assignment or sublease, which shall contain all of the information reasonably requested by Landlord to address Landlord’s decision criteria specified hereinafter. Landlord shall then have a period of thirty (30) days following receipt of the Transfer Notice to notify Tenant in writing that Landlord elects either: (i) to terminate this Lease as to the space so affected as of the date so requested by Tenant; or (ii) to consent to the proposed assignment or sublease, subject, however, to Landlord’s prior written consent of the proposed assignee or subtenant and of any related documents or agreements associated with the assignment or sublease. If Landlord should fail to notify Tenant in writing of such election within said period, Landlord shall be deemed to have waived option (i) above, but written consent by Landlord of the proposed assignee or subtenant shall still be required. If Landlord does not exercise option (i) above, Landlord’s consent to a proposed assignment or sublease shall not be unreasonably withheld. Consent to any assignment or subletting shall not constitute consent to any subsequent transaction to which this Paragraph 21 applies.

Conditions of Landlord’s Consent. Without limiting the other instances in which it may be reasonable for Landlord to withhold Landlord’s consent to an assignment or subletting, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold Landlord’s consent in the following instances: if the proposed assignee does not agree to be bound by and assume the obligations of Tenant under this Lease in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord; the use of the Premises by such proposed assignee or subtenant would not be a Permitted Use or would violate any exclusivity or other arrangement which Landlord has with any other tenant or occupant or any Regulation or would increase the Occupancy Density or Parking Density of the Building or Project, or would otherwise result in an undesirable tenant mix for the Project as determined by Landlord; the proposed assignee or subtenant is not of sound financial condition as determined by Landlord in Landlord’s sole discretion; the |
12
proposed assignee or subtenant is a governmental agency; the proposed assignee or subtenant does not have a good reputation as a tenant of property or a good business reputation; the proposed assignee or subtenant is a person with whom Landlord is negotiating to lease space in the Project or is a present tenant of the Project; the assignment or subletting would entail any Alterations which would lessen the value of the leasehold improvements in the Premises or use of any Hazardous Materials or other noxious use or use which may disturb other tenants of the Project; or Tenant is in default of any obligation of Tenant under this Lease, or Tenant has defaulted under this Lease on three (3) or more occasions during any twelve (12) months preceding the date that Tenant shall request consent. Failure by or refusal of Landlord to consent to a proposed assignee or subtenant shall not cause a termination of this Lease. Upon a termination under Paragraph 21.A(1)(i), Landlord may lease the Premises to any party, including parties with whom Tenant has negotiated an assignment or sublease, without incurring any liability to Tenant. At the option of Landlord, a surrender and termination of this Lease shall operate as an assignment to Landlord of some or all subleases or subtenancies. Landlord shall exercise this option by giving notice of that assignment to such subtenants on or before the effective date of the surrender and termination. In connection with each request for assignment or subletting, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Landlord’s standard fee, for approving such requests, as well as all costs incurred by Landlord or any mortgagee or ground lessor in approving each such request and effecting any such transfer, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees. Landlord’s standard fee as of the date of this Lease is seven hundred fifty dollars ($750.00).
(3) Permitted Transfers. An “Affiliate” means any entity that (i) controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Tenant, (ii) results from the transfer of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets or stock, or (iii) results from the merger or consolidation of Tenant with another entity. “Control” means the direct or indirect ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of an entity or possession of the right to vote more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting interest in the ordinary direction of the entity’s affairs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord’s consent is not required for any assignment of this Lease or sublease of all or a portion of the Premises to an Affiliate so long as the following conditions are met: (a) at least ten (10) business days before any such assignment or sublease, Landlord receives written notice of such assignment or sublease (as well as any documents or information reasonably requested by Landlord regarding the proposed intended transfer and the transferee): (b) Tenant is not then and has not been in default under this Lease; (c) if the transfer is an assignment or any other transfer to an Affiliate other than a sublease, the intended assignee assumes in writing all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease relating to the Premises in form satisfactory to Landlord or, if the transfer is a sublease, the intended sublessee accepts the sublease in form satisfactory to Landlord; (d) the intended transferee has a tangible net worth, as evidenced by financial statements delivered to Landlord and certified by an independent certified public accountant in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles that are consistently applied, at least equal to thirteen million ($13,000,000.00) dollars; (e) the Premises shall continue to be operated solely for the use specified in the Basic Lease Information; and (f) Tenant shall pay to Landlord Landlord’s standard fee for approving assignments and sublease and all costs reasonably incurred by Landlord or any mortgagee or ground lessor for such assignment or subletting, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees. No transfer to an Affiliate in accordance with this subparagraph shall relieve Tenant named herein of any obligation under this Lease or alter the primary liability of Tenant named herein for the payment of Rent or for the performance of any other obligation to be performed by Tenant, including the obligations contained in Paragraph 25 with respect to any Affiliate.
B. Bonus Rent. Any Rent or other consideration realized by Tenant under any such sublease or assignment in excess of the Rent payable hereunder, after amortization of a reasonable brokerage commission incurred by Tenant, shall be divided and paid, fifty percent (50%) to Tenant, fifty percent (50%) to Landlord. In any subletting or assignment undertaken by Tenant, Tenant shall diligently seek to obtain the maximum rental amount available in the marketplace for comparable space available for primary leasing.
C. Corporation. If Tenant is a corporation, a transfer of corporate shares by sale, assignment, bequest, inheritance, operation of law or other disposition (including such a transfer to or by a receiver or trustee in federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceedings) resulting in a change in the present control of such corporation or any of its parent corporations by the person or persons owning a majority of said corporate shares, shall constitute an assignment for purposes of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, the transfer of outstanding capital stock or other listed equity interests, or the purchase of outstanding capital stock or other listed equity interests, or the purchase of equity interests issued in an initial public offering of stock, by persons or parties other than “insiders” within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, through the “over-the-counter” market or any recognized national or international securities exchange shall not be included in determining whether control has been transferred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord acknowledges that Tenant will be spun off from its parent corporation and that such spin-off will result in a change of control of Tenant. Landlord agrees that such spin-off shall be an acceptable assignment under this Lease.
D. Unincorporated Entity. If Tenant is a partnership, joint venture, unincorporated limited liability company or other unincorporated business form, a transfer of the interest of persons, firms or entities responsible for managerial control of Tenant by sale, assignment, bequest, inheritance, operation of law or other disposition, so as to result in a change in the present control of said entity and/or of the underlying beneficial interests of said entity and/or a change in the identity of the persons responsible for the general credit obligations of said entity shall constitute an assignment for all purposes of this Lease.
E. Liability. No assignment or subletting by Tenant, permitted or otherwise, shall relieve Tenant of any obligation under this Lease or any guarantor of this Lease of any liability under its guaranty or alter the primary liability of the Tenant named herein for the payment of Rent or for the performance of any other obligations to be performed by Tenant, including obligations contained in Paragraph 25with respect to any assignee or subtenant. Landlord may collect rent or other amounts or any portion thereof from any assignee, subtenant, or other occupant of the Premises, permitted or otherwise, and apply the net rent collected to the Rent payable hereunder, but no such collection shall be deemed to be a waiver of this Paragraph 21, or the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease or any guarantor of this Lease of any liability under its guaranty. Any assignment or subletting which conflicts with the provisions hereof shall be void.
22. AUTHORITY
Landlord represents and warrants that it has full right and authority to enter into this Lease and to perform all of Landlord’s obligations hereunder and that all persons signing this Lease on its behalf are authorized to do. Tenant represents and warrants that Tenant has full right and authority and the person or persons, if any, signing on behalf of Tenant, jointly and severally represent and warrant that Tenant has full right and authority to enter into this Lease, and to perform all of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, and that all persons signing this Lease on its behalf are authorized to do so.
13
23. CONDEMNATION
A. Condemnation Resulting in Termination. If the whole or any substantial part of the Premises Building or Project should be taken or condemned for any public use under any Regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof, and the taking would prevent or materially interfere with the Permitted Use of the Premises, either party shall have the right to terminate this Lease at its option. If any material portion of the Building or Project is taken or condemned for any public use under any Regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof, Landlord may terminate this Lease at its option. In either of such events, the Rent shall be abated during the unexpired portion of this Lease, effective when the physical taking of said Premises shall have occurred.
B. Condemnation Not Resulting in Termination. If a portion of the Project of which the Premises are a part should be taken or condemned for any public use under any Regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof, and the taking prevents or materially interferes with the Permitted Use of the Premises, and this Lease is not terminated as provided in Paragraph 23.A above, the Rent payable hereunder during the unexpired portion of this Lease shall be reduced, beginning on the date when the physical taking shall have occurred, to such amount as may be fair and reasonable under all of the circumstances, but only after giving Landlord credit for all sums received or to be received by Tenant by the condemning authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph, if the temporary use or occupancy of any part of the Premises shall be taken or appropriated under power of eminent domain during the Term, this Lease shall be and remain unaffected by such taking or appropriation and Tenant shall continue to pay in full all Rent payable hereunder by Tenant during the Term; in the event of any such temporary appropriation or taking, Tenant shall be entitled to receive that portion of any award which represents compensation for the use of or occupancy of the Premises during the Term. If the taking or appropriation is anticipated to last for one hundred eighty (180) days or longer, then such taking or appropriation shall not be deemed temporary and the other provisions of this Section 23 shall apply.
C. Award. Landlord shall be entitled to (and Tenant shall assign to Landlord) any and all payment, income, rent, award or any interest therein whatsoever which may be paid or made in connection with such taking or conveyance and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or otherwise for any sums paid by virtue of such proceedings, whether or not attributable to the value of any unexpired portion of this Lease, except as expressly provided in this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any compensation specifically and separately awarded Tenant for Tenant’s personal property and moving costs Tenant’s loss of good will or other damage to Tenant’s business, shall be and remain the property of Tenant.
D. Waiver of CCP§1265.130. Each party waives the provisions of California Civil Code Procedure Section 1265.130 allowing either party to petition the superior court to terminate this Lease as a result of a partial taking.
24. CASUALTY DAMAGE
A. General. If the Premises or Building should be damaged or destroyed by fire, tornado, or other casualty (collectively, “Casualty”),Tenant shall give immediate written notice thereof to Landlord. Within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of such notice, Landlord shall notify Tenant whether in Landlord’s reasonable estimation of the Premises can reasonably be restored to at least substantially the condition that existed prior to the Casualty within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of such notice and receipt of required permits for such restoration. Landlord’s determination shall be binding on Tenant.
B. Within 180 Days. If the Premises or Building should be damaged by Casualty to such extent that restoration of the Premises to be at least substantially the condition that existed prior to the Casualty can in Landlord’s estimation be reasonably completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such notice and receipt of required permits for such restoration, this Lease shall not terminate. Provided that insurance proceeds are received by Landlord to fully repair the damage, Landlord shall proceed to rebuild and repair the Premises diligently to at least substantially its condition immediately prior to such Casualty and in the manner determined by Landlord, except that Landlord shall not be required to rebuild, repair or replace any part of any Alterations which may have been placed on or about the Premises or paid for by Tenant unless Landlord receives insurance proceeds specifically therefor. If the Premises are untenantable in whole or in part following such damage, the Rent payable hereunder during the period in which they are untenantable shall be abated proportionately, but only to the extent of rental abatement insurance proceeds received by Landlord during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy.
C. Greater than 180 Days. If the Premises or Building should be damaged by Casualty to such extent that rebuilding or repairs cannot in Landlord’s estimation be reasonably completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt of required permits for rebuilding or repair, and such damage materially and adversely interferes with the conduct of Tenant’s business in the Premises, then either party shall have the right to cancel this Lease by giving the other party written notice within [ten (10)] days from the date of Landlord’s notice that material restoration of the Premises cannot be made within such one hundred eighty (180) day period or notice that Landlord has elected not to rebuild or repair the Premises. Said cancellation shall be effective [thirty (30)] days from the first day that either party gives its notice to cancel. If either party elects to so cancel this Lease, Landlord shall proceed to rebuild and repair the Premises diligently and in the manner determined by Landlord, except that Landlord shall not be required to rebuild, repair or replace any part of any Alterations which may have been placed on or about the Premises by Tenant. If the Premises are untenantable in whole or in part following such damage, the Rent payable hereunder during the period in which they are untenantable shall be abated proportionately, but only to the extent of rent abatement proceeds received by Landlord during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy.
D. Tenant’s Fault. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Premises or any other portion of the Building are damaged by Casualty resulting from the fault, negligence, or breach of this Lease by Tenant or any of Tenant’s Parties, Base Rent and Additional Rent shall not be diminished during the repair of such damage and Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for the cost and expense of the repair and restoration of the Building caused thereby to the extent such cost and expense is not covered by insurance proceeds.
E. Insurance Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Premises or Building are damaged or destroyed and are not fully covered by the insurance proceeds received by Landlord or if the holder of any indebtedness secured by a mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises requires that the insurance proceeds be applied to such indebtedness, then in either case Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of termination to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date of notice to
14
Landlord that said damage or destruction is not fully covered by insurance or such requirement is made by any such holder, as the case may be, whereupon this Lease shall terminate.
F. Waiver. This Paragraph 24 shall be Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event of damage or destruction to the Premises or the Building. As a material inducement to Landlord entering into this Lease, Tenant hereby waives any rights it may have under Sections 1932, 1933(4), 1941 or 1942 of the Civil Code of California with respect to any destruction of the Premises, Landlord’s obligation for tenantability of the Premises and Tenant’s right to make repairs and deduct the expenses of such repairs, or under any similar law, statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.
G. Tenant’s Personal Property. In the event of any damage or destruction of the Premises or the Building, under no circumstances shall Landlord be required to repair any injury or damage to, or make any repairs to or replacements of, Tenant’s personal property unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord.
H. Damage Near End of Term. Landlord and Tenant shall each have the right to terminate this Lease if there is a casualty affecting the Premises or the Building and Tenant is unable to and does not use the Premises as a result of such casualty, occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the term of this Lease where Landlord reasonably estimates that the repair or restoration of such casualty cannot be completed within ninety (90) days after the date of such casualty. Landlord and Tenant shall each have the right to terminate this Lease if the Casualty affecting the Premises or the Building and Tenant is unable to and does not use the Premises as a result of such casualty, occurs during the last six months of the term of this Lease where Landlord reasonably estimates that the repair of restoration of such casualty cannot be completed within (60) days after the date of such casualty.
25. HOLDING OVER
Unless Landlord expressly consents in writing to Tenant’s holding over, Tenant shall be unlawfully and illegally in possession of the Premises, whether or not Landlord accepts any rent from Tenant or any other person while Tenant remains in possession of the Premises without Landlord’s written consent. If Tenant shall retain possession of the Premises or any portion thereof without Landlord’s consent following the expiration of this Lease or sooner termination for any reason, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord for each day of such retention one hundred twenty five percent (125%) of daily rental as of the last month prior to the date expiration or earlier termination for the first thirty (30) days, two hundred percent (200%) of daily rental as of the last month prior to the date of expiration or earlier termination for the next thirty (30) days and then triple the amount of daily rental as of the last month prior to the date of expiration or earlier termination. Tenant shall also indemnify, defend, protect and hold Landlord harmless from any loss, liability or cost, including consequential and incidental damages and reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Landlord resulting from delay by Tenant in surrendering the Premises, including, without limitation, any claims made by the succeeding tenant founded on such delay. Acceptance of Rent by Landlord following expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, or following demand by Landlord for possession of the Premises, shall not constitute a renewal of this Lease, and nothing contained in this Paragraph 25 shall waive Landlord’s right of reentry or any other right. Additionally, if upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, or following demand by Landlord for possession of the Premises, Tenant has not fulfilled its obligation with respect to repairs and cleanup of the Premises or any other Tenant obligations as set forth in this Lease, then Landlord shall have the right to perform any such obligations as it deems necessary at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, and any time required by Landlord to complete such obligations shall be considered a period of holding over and the terms of this Paragraph 25 shall apply. The provisions of this Paragraph 25 shall survive any expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
26. DEFAULT BY TENANT
A. Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an event of default on the part of Tenant:
(1) Abandonment. Abandonment or vacation of the Premises for a continuous period in excess of five (5) consecutive days. Tenant waives any right to notice Tenant may have under Section 1951.3 of the Civil Code of the State of California, the terms of this Paragraph 26.A being deemed such notice to Tenant as required by said Section 1951.3.
(2) Nonpayment of Rent. Failure to pay any installment of Rent or any other amount due and payable hereunder within five (5) business days after written notice thereof from Landlord of the date when said payment is due, as to which time is of the essence.
(3) Other Obligations. Failure to perform any obligation, agreement or covenant under this Lease other than those matters specified in subparagraphs (1) and (2) of this Paragraph 26.A, and in Paragraphs 8, 16, 18 and 25, such failure continuing for thirty (30) days after written notice of such failure, as to which time is of the essence.
(4) General Assignment. A general assignment by Tenant for the benefit of creditors.
(5) Bankruptcy. The filing of any voluntary petition in bankruptcy by Tenant, or the filing of an involuntary petition by Tenant’s creditors, which involuntary petition remains undischarged for a period of forty five (45) days. If under applicable law, the trustee in bankruptcy or Tenant has the right to affirm this Lease and continue to perform the obligations of Tenant hereunder, such trustee or Tenant shall, in such time period as may be permitted by the bankruptcy court having jurisdiction, cure all defaults of Tenant hereunder outstanding as of the date of the affirmance of this Lease and provide to Landlord such adequate assurances as may be necessary to ensure Landlord of the continued performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.
(6) Receivership. The employment of a receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets or Tenant’s leasehold of the Premises, if such appointment remains undismissed or undischarged for a period of thirty (30) days after the order therefor.
(7) Attachment. The attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets or Tenant’s leasehold of the Premises, if such attachment or other seizure remains undismissed or undischarged for a period of thirty (30) days after the levy thereof.
(8) Insolvency. The admission by Tenant in writing of its inability to pay its debts as they become due.
B. Remedies Upon Default.
(1) Termination. In the event of the occurrence of any event of default, Landlord shall have the right to give a written termination notice to Tenant, and on the date specified in such notice, Tenant’s right to possession shall terminate, and this Lease shall terminate unless on or before such date all Rent in arrears and all costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of Landlord hereunder shall have been paid by Tenant and all other events of default of this Lease by Tenant at the time existing shall have been fully remedied to the satisfaction of Landlord. At any time after such termination, Landlord may recover possession of the
15
Premises or any part thereof and expel and remove therefrom Tenant and any other person occupying the same, including any subtenant or subtenants notwithstanding Landlord’s consent to any sublease, by any lawful means, and again repossess and enjoy the Premises without prejudice to any of the remedies that Landlord may have under this Lease, or at law or equity by any reason of Tenant’s default or of such termination. Landlord hereby reserves the right, but shall not have the obligation, to recognize the continued possession of any subtenant. The delivery or surrender to Landlord by or on behalf of Tenant of keys, entry codes, or other means to bypass security at the Premises shall not terminate this Lease.
(2) Continuation After Default. Even though an event of default may have occurred, this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s right to possession under Paragraph 26.B(1) hereof. Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (“Landlord may continue this Lease in effect after Tenant’s breach and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due, if Tenant has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations”), or any successor code section. Accordingly, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any event of default by Tenant, Landlord may enforce all of Landlord’s rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover Rent as it becomes due. Acts of maintenance, preservation or efforts to lease the Premises or the appointment of a receiver under application of Landlord to protect Landlord’s interest under this Lease or other entry by Landlord upon the Premises shall not constitute an election to terminate Tenant’s right to possession.
(3) Increased Security Deposit. If Tenant is in default under Paragraph 26.A(2) hereof and such default remains uncured for ten (10) days after such occurrence and such default occurs more than three times in any twelve (12) month period, Landlord may require that Tenant increase the Security Deposit to the amount of three times the current month’s Rent at the time of the most recent default.
C. Damages After Default. Should Landlord terminate this Lease pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 26.B(1) hereof, Landlord shall have the rights and remedies of a Landlord provided by Section 1951.2 of the Civil Code of the State of California, or any successor code sections. Upon such termination, in addition to any other rights and remedies to which Landlord may be entitled under applicable law or at equity, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant: (1) the worth at the time of award of the unpaid Rent and other amounts which had been earned at the time of termination, (2) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent and other amounts that would have been earned after the date of termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; (3) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent and other amounts for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that the Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; and (4) any other amount and court costs 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. The “worth at the time of award” as used in (1) and (2) above shall be computed at the Applicable Interest Rate (defined below). The “worth at the time of award” as used in (3) above shall be computed by discounting such amount at the Federal Discount Rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%). If this Lease provides for any periods during the Term during which Tenant is not required to pay Base Rent or if Tenant otherwise receives a Rent concession, then upon the occurrence of an event of default, Tenant shall owe to Landlord the full amount of such Base Rent or value of such Rent concession, plus interest at the Applicable Interest Rate, calculated from the date that such Base Rent or Rent concession would have been payable.
D. Late Charge. In addition to its other remedies, Landlord shall have the right without notice or demand to add to the amount of any payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder, and which is not paid and received by Landlord on or before the fifth day of each calendar month, an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the delinquent amount, or $150.00, whichever amount is greater, for each month or portion thereof that the delinquency remains outstanding to compensate Landlord for the loss of the use of the amount not paid and the administrative costs caused by the delinquency, the parties agreeing that Landlord’s damage by virtue of such delinquencies would be extremely difficult and impracticable to compute and the amount stated herein represents a reasonable estimate thereof. Any waiver by Landlord of any late charges or failure to claim the same shall not constitute a waiver of other late charges or any other remedies available to Landlord.
E. Interest. Interest shall accrue on all sums not paid when due hereunder at the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the maximum interest rate allowed by law (“Applicable Interest Rate”) from the due date until paid.
F. Remedies Cumulative. All rights, privileges and elections or remedies of the parties are cumulative and not alternative, to the extent permitted by law and except as otherwise provided herein.
G. Replacement of Statutory Notice Requirements. When this Lease requires service of a notice, that notice shall replace rather than supplement any equivalent or similar statutory notice, including any notice required by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 or any similar or successor statute. When a statute requires service of a notice in a particular manner, service of that notice (or a similar notice required by this Lease) in the manner required by this Paragraph 26 shall replace and satisfy the statutory service-of-notice procedures, including those required by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1162 or any similar or successor statute.
27. LIENS
Tenant shall at all times keep the Premises and the Project free from liens arising out of or related to work or services performed, materials or supplies furnished or obligations incurred by or on behalf of Tenant or in connection with work made, suffered or done by or on behalf of Tenant in or on the Premises or Project. If Tenant shall not, within ten (10) days following the imposition of any such lien, cause the same to be released of record by payment or posting of a proper bond, Landlord shall have, in addition to all other remedies provided herein and by law, the right, but not the obligation, to cause the same to be released by such means as Landlord shall deem proper, including payment of the claim giving rise to such lien. All sums paid by Landlord on behalf of Tenant and all expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therefor shall be payable to Landlord by Tenant on demand with interest at the Applicable Interest Rate as Additional Rent. Landlord shall have the right at all times to post and keep posted on the Premises any notices permitted or required by law, or which Landlord shall deem proper, for the protection of Landlord, the Premises, the Project and any other party having an interest therein, from mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens, and Tenant shall give Landlord not less than ten (10) business days prior written notice of the commencement of any work in the Premises or Project which could lawfully give rise to a claim for mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens to permit Landlord to post and record a timely notice of non-responsibility, as Landlord may elect to proceed or as the law may from time to time provide, for which purpose, if Landlord shall so determine, Landlord may enter the Premises. Tenant shall not remove any such notice posted by Landlord without Landlord’s consent, and in any event not before completion of the work which could lawfully give rise to a claim for mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens.
28. SUBSTITUTION
16
In the event of a sale or conveyance by Landlord of the Building or a foreclosure by any creditor of Landlord, the same shall operate to release Landlord from any liability upon any of the covenants or conditions, express or implied, herein contained in favor of Tenant, to the extent required to be performed after the passing of title to Landlord’s successor-in-interest. In such event, Tenant agrees to look solely to the responsibility of the successor-in-interest of Landlord under this Lease with respect to the performance of the covenants and duties of “Landlord” to be performed after the passing of title to Landlord’s successor-in-interest. This Lease shall not be affected by any such sale and Tenant agrees to attorn to the purchaser or assignee. Landlord’s successor(s)-in-interest shall not have liability to Tenant with respect to the failure to perform any of the obligations of “Landlord,” to the extent required to be performed prior to the date such successor(s)-in-interest became the owner of the Building.
30. RIGHT OF LANDLORD TO PERFORM TENANT’S COVENANTS
All covenants and agreements to be performed by Tenant under any of the terms of this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and without any abatement of Rent. If Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money, other than Base Rent, required to be paid by Tenant hereunder or shall fail to perform any other act on Tenant’s part to be performed hereunder, including Tenant’s obligations under Paragraph 11 hereof, and such failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after notice thereof by Landlord, in addition to the other rights and remedies of Landlord, Landlord may make any such payment and perform any such act on Tenant’s part. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the nature of Tenant’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for performance, then Landlord shall not have the right to perform Tenant’s obligations so long as Tenant commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion. In the case of an emergency, no priornotification by Landlord shall be required. Landlord may take such actions without any obligation and without releasing Tenant from any of Tenant’s obligations. All sums so paid by Landlord and all incidental costs incurred by Landlord and interest thereon at the Applicable Interest Rate, from the date of payment by Landlord, shall be paid to Landlord on demand as Additional Rent.
31. WAIVER
If either Landlord or Tenant waives the performance of any term, covenant or condition contained in this Lease, such waiver shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition contained herein, or constitute a course of dealing contrary to the expressed terms of this Lease. The acceptance of Rent by Landlord (including, without limitation, through any “lockbox”) shall not constitute a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time Landlord accepted such Rent. Failure by Landlord to enforce any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease for any length of time shall not be deemed to waive or decrease the right of Landlord to insist thereafter upon strict performance by Tenant. Waiver by Landlord of any term, covenant or condition contained in this Lease may only be made by a written document signed by Landlord, based upon full knowledge of the circumstances.
32. NOTICES
Each provision of this Lease or of any applicable governmental laws, ordinances, regulations and other requirements with reference to sending, mailing, or delivery of any notice or the making of any payment by Landlord or Tenant to the other shall be deemed to be complied with when and if the following steps are taken:
A. Rent. All Rent and other payments required to be made by Tenant to Landlord hereunder shall be payable to Landlord at Landlord’s Remittance Address set forth in the Basic Lease Information, or at such other address as Landlord may specify from time to time by written notice delivered in accordance herewith. Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent and any other amounts to Landlord under the terms of this Lease shall not be deemed satisfied until such Rent and other amounts have been actually received by Landlord.
B. Other. All notices, demands, consents and approvals which may or are required to be given by either party to the other hereunder shall be in writing and either personally delivered, sent by commercial overnight courier, mailed, certified or registered, postage prepaid or sent by facsimile with confirmed receipt (and with an original sent by commercial overnight courier), and in each case addressed to the party to be notified at the Notice Address for such party as specified in the Basic Lease Information or to such other place as the party to be notified may from time to time designate by at least fifteen (15) days notice to the notifying party. Notices shall be deemed served upon receipt or refusal to accept delivery. Tenant appoints as its agent to receive the service of all default notices and notice of commencement of unlawful detainer proceedings the person in charge of or apparently in charge of occupying the Premises at the time, and, if there is no such person, then such service may be made by attaching the same on the main entrance of the Premises.
C. Required Notices. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord in writing of any notice of a violation or a potential or alleged violation of any Regulation that relates to the Premises or the Project, or of any inquiry, investigation, enforcement or other action that is instituted or threatened by any governmental or regulatory agency against Tenant or any other occupant of the Premises, or any claim that is instituted or threatened by any third party that relates to the Premises or the Project.
33. ATTORNEYS’ FEES
If Landlord places the enforcement of this Lease, or any part thereof, or the collection of any Rent due, or to become due hereunder, or recovery of possession of the Premises in the hands of an attorney, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand, Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, whether incurred without trial, at trial, appeal or review. In any action which Landlord or Tenant brings to enforce its respective rights hereunder, the unsuccessful party shall pay all costs incurred by the prevailing party including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to be fixed by the court, and said costs and attorneys’ fees shall be a part of the judgment in said action.
This Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Landlord, its successors and assigns, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Tenant, its successors, and to the extent assignment is approved by Landlord as provided hereunder, Tenant’s assigns.
17
35. FORCE MAJEURE
If performance by a party of any portion of this Lease is made impossible by any prevention, delay, or stoppage caused by strikes, lockouts, labor disputes, acts of God, inability to obtain services, labor, or materials or reasonable substitutes for those items, government actions, civil commotions, fire or other casualty, or other causes beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform, performance by that party for a period equal to the period of that prevention, delay, or stoppage is excused. Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent, however, is not excused by this Paragraph 35.
Tenant shall, upon expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, surrender the Premises to Landlord in the same condition as existed on the date Tenant originally took possession thereof, including, but not limited to, all interior walls cleaned, all holes in walls repaired, and all floors cleaned, and free of any Tenant-introduced marking or painting, all to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord. Tenant shall remove all of its debris from the Project. At or before the time of surrender, Tenant shall comply with the terms of Paragraph 12.A hereof with respect to Alterations to the Premises and all other matters addressed in such Paragraph. If the Premises are not so surrendered at the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, the provisions of Paragraph 25 hereof shall apply. All keys to the Premises or any part thereof shall be surrendered to Landlord upon expiration or sooner termination of the Term. Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to vacating the Premises and shall meet with Landlord for a joint inspection of the Premises at the time of vacating, but nothing contained herein shall be construed as an extension of the Term or as a consent by Landlord to any holding over by Tenant. In the event of Tenant’s failure to give such notice or participate in such joint inspection, Landlord’s inspection at or after Tenant’s vacating the Premises shall conclusively be deemed correct for purposes of determining Tenant’s responsibility for repairs and restoration. Any delay caused by Tenant’s failure to carry out its obligations under this Paragraph 36 beyond the term hereof, shall constitute unlawful and illegal possession of Premises under Paragraph 25 hereof.
37. PARKING
So long as Tenant is occupying the Premises, Tenant and Tenant’s Parties shall have the right to use up to the number of parking spaces, if any, specified in the Basic Lease Information on an unreserved, nonexclusive, first come, first served basis, for passenger-size automobiles, in the parking areas in the Project designated from time to time by Landlord for use in common by tenants of the Building. The parking rights granted under this Paragraph 37 are personal to Tenant and are not transferable except upon the express written consent of Landlord.
Tenant may request additional parking spaces from time to time and if Landlord in its sole discretion agrees to make such additional spaces available for use by Tenant, such spaces shall be provided on a month-to-month unreserved and nonexclusive basis (unless otherwise agreed in writing by Landlord), and subject to such parking charges as Landlord shall determine, and shall otherwise be subject to such terms and conditions as Landlord may require.
Tenant shall at all times comply and shall cause all Tenant’s Parties and visitors to comply with all Regulations and any rules and regulations established from time to time by Landlord relating to parking at the Project, including any keycard, sticker or other identification or entrance system, and hours of operation, as applicable.
Landlord shall have no liability for any damage to property or other items located in the parking areas of the Project, nor for any personal injuries or death arising out of the use of parking areas in the Project by Tenant or any Tenant’s Parties. Without limiting the foregoing, if Landlord arranges for the parking areas to be operated by an independent contractor not affiliated with Landlord, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall have no liability for claims arising through acts or omissions of such independent contractor. In all events, Tenant agrees to look first to its insurance carrier and to require that Tenant’s Parties look first to their respective insurance carriers for payment of any losses sustained in connection with any use of the parking areas.
Landlord reserves the right to assign specific spaces, and to reserve spaces for visitors, small cars, disabled persons or for other tenants or guests, and Tenant shall not park and shall not allow Tenant’s Parties to park in any such assigned or reserved spaces. Tenant may validate visitor parking by such method as Landlord may approve, at the validation rate from time to time generally applicable to visitor parking. Landlord also reserves the right to alter, modify, relocate or close all or any portion of the parking areas in order to make repairs or perform maintenance service, or to restripe or renovate the parking areas, or if required by casualty, condemnation, act of God, Regulations or for any other reason deemed reasonable by Landlord.
Tenant shall pay to Landlord (or Landlord’s parking contractor, if so directed in writing by Landlord), as Additional Rent hereunder, the monthly charges established from time to time by Landlord for parking in such parking areas (which shall initially be the charge specified in the Basic Lease Information, as applicable). Such parking charges shall be payable in advance with Tenant’s payment of Basic Rent. No deductions from the monthly parking charge shall be made for days on which the Tenant does not use any of the parking spaces entitled to be used by Tenant.
38. MISCELLANEOUS

All offers by or on behalf of Tenant of accord and satisfaction are hereby rejected in advance.
J. Easements. Landlord may grant casements on the Project and dedicate for public use portions of the Project without Tenant’s consent; provided that no such grant or dedication shall materially interfere with Tenant’s Permitted Use of the Premises. Upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord documents, instruments, maps and plats necessary to effectuate Tenant’s covenants hereunder.
K. Drafting and Determination Presumption. The parties acknowledge that this Lease has been agreed to by both the parties, that both Landlord and Tenant have consulted with attorneys with respect to the terms of this Lease and that no presumption shall be created against Landlord because Landlord drafted this Lease. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Lease, with respect to any consent, determination or estimation of Landlord required or allowed in this Lease or requested of Landlord, Landlord’s consent, determination or estimation shall be given or made solely by Landlord in Landlord’s good faith opinion, whether or not objectively reasonable.

L. Exhibits. The Basic Lease Information, and the Exhibits, addenda and attachments attached hereto are hereby incorporated herein by this reference and made a part of this Lease as though fully set forth herein.
M. No Light, Air or View Easement. Any diminution or shutting off of light, air or view by any structure which may be erected on lands adjacent to or in the vicinity of the Building shall in no way affect this Lease or impose any liability on Landlord.

EXHIBIT A
Rules and Regulations
1. Driveways, sidewalks, halls, passages, exits, entrances, elevators, escalators and stairways shall not be obstructed by tenants or used by tenants for any purpose other than for ingress to and egress from their respective premises. The driveways, sidewalks, halls, passages, exits, entrances, elevators and stairways are not for the use of the general public and Landlord shall in all cases retain the right to control and prevent access thereto by all persons whose presence, in the judgment of Landlord, shall be prejudicial to the safety, character, reputation and interests of the Building, the Project and its tenants, provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent such access to persons with whom any tenant normally deals in the ordinary course of such tenant’s business unless such persons are engaged in illegal activities. No tenant, and no employees or invitees of any tenant, shall go upon the roof of any Building, except as authorized by Landlord. No tenant, and no employees or invitees of any tenant shall move any common area furniture without Landlord’s consent.
2.

Tenant’s Exterior Signage
1. In addition to any conditions or requirements set forth in the Lease, Tenant shall not install the Tenant Exterior Signage or thereafter replace or make alterations to Tenant’s Exterior Signage, until: (a) Landlord has approved in writing the sign planner, engineer and installation company and professionally prepared sign plans submitted by Tenant showing the design, size, content, color, illumination and quality of materials and placement of the sign and all required engineering, and (b) Tenant has obtained and submitted to Landlord evidence of the insurance required hereunder and any permits or approvals required by law. The original installation work for the Building Signage shall be performed in a manner so as to avoid damage to the Building or unreasonable interference with the operation of the Building or any of its occupants. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to reasonably approve all staging and other construction procedures. All installation or other work hereunder shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner, in accordance with all governmental requirements, and at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. If Tenant is required to remove any glass or other material from the Building, Tenant will obtain Landlord’s prior written consent to such removal (unless such removal is shown on the plans previously approved by Landlord) and shall store all such material with appropriate care and replace it when Tenant’s Exterior Signage is removed. If the window washing equipment for the Building or any other Building equipment requires modification to accommodate installation or repair of Tenant’s Exterior Signage, Tenant shall perform such modification at its sole cost and expense, subject to Landlord’s approval of the nature and scope of such modification.
2. Once installation of any of Tenant’s Exterior Signage hereunder has commenced, it shall be completed as soon as possible, and (subject to force majeure delays and delays caused by Landlord) in no event later than two (2) months thereafter.
3. In the event Tenant elects to illuminate the Building Sign, any illumination shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, based on separate meters (to be installed at Tenant’s sole cost and expense), and Tenant shall pay any meter-reading charges in connection therewith. Illumination shall be subject to government conservation requirements or guidelines and utility service interruption.
4. Tenant shall maintain Tenant’s Exterior Signage in good, slightly and first-class appearance, condition and repair, and so as not to detract form the appearance of the Project. Landlord shall have the right to approve the maintenance personnel. If Tenant shall fail to maintain, repair, or illuminate Tenant’s Exterior Signage in the condition required hereunder within seven (7) days after written notice by Landlord, Landlord may so repair, maintain and illuminate Tenant’s Exterior Signage, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (which Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent when billed by Landlord), without limiting Landlord’s other rights and remedies.
5. Landlord shall permit Tenant reasonable access to the Building areas for the purposes permitted hereunder, upon reasonable advance notice (except in cases of emergency, in which case only such notice as is feasible under the circumstances shall be given) scheduling through Landlord’s management and security personnel. Access after normal business hours may be granted or required by Landlord in its reasonable discretion, and for such reasonable charges as Landlord shall impose to cover any out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith.
6. Landlord does not represent or warrant that installation of Tenant’s Exterior Signage hereunder will comply with any applicable federal, state, country or local law or ordinances or the regulations of any of their agencies or any quasi-governmental requirements or any other applicable agreements; however, Landlord has no actual knowledge (with no duty to investigate) that Tenant’s Exterior Signage will violate any such laws, ordinances, regulations or other agreements. Landlord shall use its best efforts (without the expenditure of any money unless paid by Tenant in advance of the required expenditure) to assist Tenant in obtaining such approvals. Tenant shall at all times comply with any applicable laws, ordinances, regulations and requirements pertaining to Tenant’s Exterior Signage.
7. Except to the extent arising out of the negligence or intentional acts of Landlord, its agents or employees, Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, claim, damage, liability or expense which Landlord may incur as a direct or indirect result of Tenant’s Exterior Signage or Tenant’s installation, maintenance or other activities in connection therewith including but not limited to Tenant’s use of Landlord’s scaffolding or other equipment, and including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, whether or not any legal action is instituted. This indemnity obligation shall include Landlord’s partners, officers, directors, employees, trustees, beneficiaries, affiliated in connection therewith, including, but not limited to Tenant’s use of the roof or scaffolding or other equipment, in the amount of at least $3,000,000 combined single limit per occurrence with a responsible insurance company reasonably satisfactory to Landlord having a rating of not less than A-X Best’s Insurance Guide and licensed to do business in the State of California, which policy shall include a contractual liability endorsement and shall include Landlord and the other Indemnities (as defined above) as additional insured. Tenant shall provide a certificate of such insurance to Landlord prior to commencing the installation work for Tenant’s Exterior Signage, and such insurance policy shall not be cancelable without at least fifteen (15) days written notice to Landlord. Except to the extent arising out of the negligence or intentional acts of loss or damage thereto from any cause whatsoever. Tenant, on behalf of its insurers, hereby waives any rights of subrogation against Landlord (or the “Indemnities” defined above).
8. Tenant shall have the right to continue the use of its monument sign during the term of this Lease. Any modification to Tenant’s current monument sign shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and modifications must be approved by Landlord in writing and shall be subject to all applicable conditions and requirements of this Exhibit D.
