including certain areas designated for the exclusive use of certain tenants, or
to be shared by Landlord and certain tenants, are collectively referred to

ARTICLE 2
LEASE TERM
2.1 Initial Term. The terms and provisions of this Lease shall be
effective as of the date of this Lease. Landlord shall deliver the Premises to
Tenant in its current "as is" condition, upon the date of full execution and
delivery of this Lease (the "DELIVERY DATE"). The term of this Lease (the "LEASE
TERM") shall be as set forth in Section 5.1 of the Summary, shall commence on
the date set forth in Section 5.2 of the Summary (the "LEASE COMMENCEMENT
DATE"), and shall terminate on the date set forth in Section 5.3 of the Summary
(the "LEASE EXPIRATION DATE") unless this Lease is sooner terminated as
hereinafter provided. Tenant shall have the right to commence business from the
Premises during the period from the Delivery Date to the Lease Commencement Date
(the "BENEFICIAL OCCUPANCY PERIOD"), provided that (A) Tenant shall give
Landlord prior notice of any such occupancy of the Premises, (B) a certificate
of occupancy (or its equivalent) shall have been issued by the appropriate
governmental authorities for the Premises, and (C) all of the terms and
conditions of this Lease shall apply, including Tenant's obligations to pay
parking fees pursuant to Article 28 below, during the Beneficial Occupancy
Period, except that Tenant's obligation to pay Base Rent and any Direct
Expenses shall not apply during the Beneficial Occupancy Period. For purposes
of this Lease, the term "LEASE YEAR" shall mean each consecutive twelve (12)
month period during the Lease Term; provided, however, that the first Lease Year
shall commence on the Lease Commencement Date and end on the last day of the
eleventh calendar month thereafter and the second and each succeeding Lease Year
shall commence on the first day of the next calendar month; and further provided
that the last Lease Year shall end on the Lease Expiration Date. At
-2-
any time during the Lease Term, Landlord may deliver to Tenant a notice in the
form as set forth in Exhibit D, attached hereto, which Tenant shall execute and
return to Landlord within five (5) days of receipt thereof.
2.2 Option Term. Landlord hereby grants to the original Tenant
named in this Lease (the "ORIGINAL TENANT"), one (1) option to extend the Lease
Term for a period of five (5) years (the "OPTION TERM"), which option shall be
exercisable only by written notice ("OPTION NOTICE") delivered by Tenant to
Landlord as provided in Section 2.2.2 below, provided that, as of the date of
delivery of such notice and, at Landlord's option, as of the last day of the
initial Lease Term, Tenant is not in default under this Lease after expiration
of applicable cure periods. The right contained in this Section 2.2 shall be
personal to the Original Tenant and may only be exercised by the Original Tenant
or an Affiliated Assignee (and not any other assignee, sublessee or other
transferee of the Original Tenant's interest in this Lease) if the Original
Tenant or such Affiliated Assignee occupies the entire Premises as of the date
of the Option Notice.
2.2.1 Option Rent. The Rent payable by Tenant during the
Option Term (the "OPTION RENT") shall be equal to the then prevailing fair
market rent for the Premises as of the commencement date of the Option Term. The
then prevailing fair market rent shall be the rental rate, including all
escalations, at which renewal tenants, as of the commencement of the Option
Term, are entering into leases for non-sublease, non-encumbered space comparable
in size, location and quality to the Premises for a term of approximately the
Option Term, which comparable space is located in comparable buildings in Warner
Center, taking into consideration the following concessions: (a) rental
abatement concessions, if any, being granted such tenants in connection with
such comparable space and (b) tenant improvements or allowances provided or to
be provided for such comparable space, taking into account, and deducting the
value of, the existing improvements in the Premises, with such value to be based
upon the age, quality and layout of the improvements and the extent to which the
same could be utilized by Tenant based upon the fact that the precise tenant
improvements existing in the Premises are specifically suitable to Tenant.
2.2.2 Exercise of Option. The option contained in this
Section 2.2 shall be exercised by Tenant, if at all, only in the following
manner: (i) Tenant shall deliver written notice ("INTEREST NOTICE") to Landlord
on or before the date which is twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the
initial Lease Term, stating that Tenant is interested in exercising its option;
(ii) Landlord, after receipt of Tenant's notice, shall deliver notice (the
"OPTION RENT NOTICE") to Tenant not less than ten (10) months prior to the
expiration of the initial Lease Term, setting forth the Option Rent; and (iii)
if Tenant wishes to exercise such option, Tenant shall, on or before the earlier
of (A) the date occurring nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the initial
Lease Term, and (B) the date occurring thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt
of the Option Rent Notice, exercise the option by delivering the Option Notice
to Landlord. Failure of Tenant to deliver the Interest Notice to Landlord on or
before the date specified in (i) above or to deliver the Option Notice to
Landlord on or before the date specified in (iii) above shall be deemed to
constitute Tenant's failure to exercise its option to extend. If Tenant timely
and properly exercises its option to extend, the Lease Term shall be extended
for the Option Term upon all of the terms and conditions set forth in this
Lease, except that the Rent shall be as indicated in the Option Rent Notice.

ARTICLE 3
RENT
3.1 Base Rent. Tenant shall pay, without prior notice or demand,
to Landlord or Landlord's agent at the management office of the Project, or, at
Landlord's option, at such other place as Landlord may from time to time
designate in writing, in a check for currency which, at the time of payment, is
legal tender for private or public debts in the United States of America, base
rent ("BASE RENT") as set forth in Section 6 of the Summary, payable in equal
monthly installments as set forth in Section 6 of the Summary in advance on or
before the first day of each and every month during the Lease Term, without any
setoff or deduction whatsoever. The Base Rent for the first full month of the
Lease Term which occurs after the expiration of any free rent period shall be
paid at the time of Tenant's execution of this Lease. If any Rent payment date
(including the Lease Commencement Date) falls on a day of the month other than
the first day of such month or if any payment of Rent is for a period which is
shorter than one month, the Rent for any fractional month shall accrue on a
daily basis for the period from the date such payment is due to the end of such
calendar month or to the end of the Lease Term at a rate per day which is equal
to 1/365 of the applicable annual Rent. All other payments or adjustments
required to be made under the terms of this Lease that require proration on a
time basis shall be prorated on the same basis.
3.2 Additional Rent. In addition to paying the Base Rent
specified in Section 3.1 of this Lease, Tenant shall pay "Tenant's Share" of the
annual "Building Direct Expenses," as those terms are defined in Sections 3.3.10
and 3.3.2 of this Lease, respectively, to the extent such Building Direct
Expenses are in excess of Building Direct Expenses for the "Base Year," as that
term is defined in Section 3.3.1 of this Lease. Such payments by Tenant,
together with any and all other amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant
to the terms of this Lease, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the
"ADDITIONAL RENT", and the Base Rent and the Additional Rent are herein
collectively referred to as "Rent." All amounts due under this Article 3 as
Additional Rent shall be payable for the same periods and in the same manner as
the Base Rent. Without limitation on other obligations of Tenant which survive
the expiration of the Lease Term, the obligations of Tenant to pay the
Additional Rent provided for in this Article 3 shall survive the expiration of
the Lease Term.
3.3 Definitions of Key Terms Relating to Additional Rent. As used
in this Article 3, the following terms shall have the meanings hereinafter set
forth:
3.3.1 "BASE YEAR" shall be as set forth in Section 7.1 of
the Summary.
3.3.2 "BUILDING DIRECT EXPENSES" shall mean "Building
Operating Expenses" and "Building Tax Expenses", as those terms are defined in
Sections 3.3.3 and 3.3.4, below, respectively.
3.3.3 "BUILDING OPERATING EXPENSES" shall mean the portion
of "Operating Expenses," as that term is defined in Section 3.3.7 below,
allocated to the tenants of the Building pursuant to the terms of Section 3.4.1
below.
-4-
3.3.4 "BUILDING TAX EXPENSES" shall mean that portion of
"Tax Expenses", as that term is defined in Section 3.3.9 below, allocated to the
tenants of the Building pursuant to the terms of Section 3.4.1 below.
3.3.5 "EXPENSE YEAR" shall mean each calendar year in
which any portion of the Lease Term falls, through and including the calendar
year in which the Lease Term expires, provided that Landlord, upon notice to
Tenant, may change the Expense Year from time to time to any other twelve (12)
consecutive month period, and, in the event of any such change, Tenant's Share
of Building Direct Expenses shall be equitably adjusted for any Expense Year
involved in any such change.
3.3.6 "DIRECT EXPENSES" shall mean "Operating Expenses"
and "Tax Expenses".
3.3.7 "OPERATING EXPENSES" shall mean all expenses, costs
and amounts of every kind and nature which Landlord pays during any Expense Year
because of or in connection with the ownership, management, maintenance, repair,
replacement, restoration or operation of the Project, or any portion thereof.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Operating Expenses shall
specifically include any and all of the following: (i) the cost of supplying all
utilities, the cost of operating, maintaining, repairing, renovating, complying
with conservation measures in connection with, and managing the utility systems,
mechanical systems, sanitary and storm drainage systems, and elevator systems,
and the cost of supplies and equipment and maintenance and service contracts in
connection therewith; (ii) the cost of licenses, certificates, permits and
inspections and the cost of contesting the validity or applicability of any
governmental enactments which may affect Operating Expenses, and the costs
incurred in connection with the implementation and operation of a transportation
system management program or a municipal, private or public shuttle service or
parking program; (iii) the cost of all insurance carried by Landlord in
connection with the Project, or any portion thereof; (iv) the cost of
landscaping, relamping, and all supplies, tools, equipment and materials used in
the operation, repair and maintenance of the Project, or any portion thereof;
(v) the cost of parking area repair, restoration, and maintenance including, but
not limited to, resurfacing, repainting, restriping, and cleaning; (vi) fees,
charges and other costs, including consulting fees, legal fees and accounting
fees, of all contractors and consultants engaged by Landlord or reasonably
incurred by Landlord in connection with the management, operation, maintenance
and repair of the Project, or any portion thereof including the fair market
rental value of any office space utilized for such purpose and a management fee
in the amount of fifteen percent (15%) of all other Direct Expenses; (vii)
payments under any equipment rental agreements; (viii) wages, salaries and other
compensation and benefits of all persons engaged in the operation, maintenance
or security of the Project, or any portion thereof, including employer's Social
Security taxes, unemployment taxes or insurance, and any other taxes which may
be levied on such wages, salaries, compensation and benefits; provided, that if
any employees of Landlord provide services for more than one project of
Landlord, then a prorated portion of such employees' wages, benefits and taxes
shall be included in Operating Expenses based on the portion of their working
time devoted to the Project, or any portion thereof; (ix) payments, fees or
charges under any easement, license, operating agreement, declaration,
restrictive covenant, or instrument pertaining to the sharing of costs by the
Project, or any portion thereof; (x) operation, repair, maintenance and
replacement of all "Systems and Equipment," as that term is defined in
-5-
Section 3.3.8 of this Lease, and components thereof; (xi) the cost of janitorial
services, alarm and security service, window cleaning, trash removal,
replacement of wall and floor coverings, ceiling tiles and fixtures in lobbies,
corridors, restrooms and other common or public areas or facilities, maintenance

or any portion thereof; (xiii) the cost of capital improvements or other costs
incurred in connection with the Project (A) which are intended to effect
economies in the operation or maintenance of the Project, or any portion
thereof, or (B) that are required under any governmental law or regulation;
provided, however, that any capital expenditure shall be amortized over its
useful life as Landlord shall reasonably determine, and the unamortized cost of
the same shall bear interest at a rate reasonably determined by Landlord; and
(xiv) costs, fees, charges or assessments imposed by any federal, state or local
government for fire and police protection, trash removal, community services, or
other services which do not constitute "Tax Expenses" as that term is defined in
Section 3.3.9, below. If Landlord is not furnishing any particular work or
service (the cost of which, if performed by Landlord, would be included i n
Operating Expenses) to a tenant who has undertaken to perform such work or
service in lieu of the performance thereof by Landlord, Operating Expenses shall
be deemed to be increased by an amount equal to the additional Operating
Expenses which would reasonably have been incurred during such period by
Landlord if it had at its own expense furnished such work or service to such
tenant. If the Building is not at least ninety-five percent (95%)
occupied during all or a portion of any Expense Year (including the Base Year),
Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment to the variable components of
Operating Expenses for such year employing sound accounting and management
principles, to determine the amount of Operating Expenses that would have been
paid had the Building been ninety-five percent (95%) occupied; and the
amount so determined shall be deemed to have been the amount of Operating
Expenses for such year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of this
Lease, Operating Expenses shall not, except as otherwise set forth in this
Section 3.3, include (A) depreciation, interest and amortization on mortgages,
or ground lease payments, if any; (B) legal fees incurred in negotiating and
enforcing tenant leases; (C) real estate brokers' leasing commissions; (D)
initial improvements or alterations to tenant spaces; (E) the cost of providing
any service directly to and paid directly by any tenant; (F) any costs expressly
excluded from Operating Expenses elsewhere in this Lease; (G) costs of any items
to the extent Landlord receives reimbursement from insurance proceeds or from a
third party (such proceeds to be credited to Operating Expenses in the year in
which received, except that any deductible amount under any insurance policy
shall be included within Operating Expenses); (H) Tax Expenses; (I) costs of
capital improvements, except those set forth in this Section 3.3 or those
includable in Operating Expenses pursuant to an application by Landlord of sound
real estate management principles; (J) marketing costs, including leasing
commissions, attorneys' fees in connection with the negotiation and preparation
of letters, deal memos, letters of intent, leases, subleases and/or assignments,
space planning costs, and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with
lease, sublease and/or assignment negotiations and transactions with present or
prospective tenants or other occupants of the Building, including attorneys'
fees and other costs and expenditures incurred in connection with disputes with
present or prospective tenants or other occupants of the Building; (K) expenses
in connection with services or other benefits which are not offered to Tenant or
for which Tenant is charged for directly but which are provided to
-6-
another tenant or occupant of the Building without charge; (L) the cost of any
items for which Landlord is reimbursed by insurance proceeds, condemnation
awards, a tenant of the Building, or otherwise to the extent so reimbursed; (M)
bad debt expenses and interest, principal, points and fees on debts (except in
connection with the financing of items which may be included in Operating
Expenses); and (N) costs of correcting defects in or inadequacy of the initial
design or construction of the Building. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
set forth in this Article 3, when calculating Direct Expenses for the Base Year,
Operating Expenses shall exclude (i) market-wide labor-rate increases due to
extraordinary circumstances, including, but not limited to, boycotts and
strikes, (ii) utility rate increases due to extraordinary circumstances
including, but not limited to, conservation surcharges, boycotts, embargoes or
other shortages, and (iii) amortization and other costs of capital improvement,
restoration, and replacement relating to any portion of the Project (including
the amortization expenses of any such costs incurred in prior years) ; provided,
however, that if Landlord does not carry earthquake insurance for the Project
during any part of the Base Year but subsequently obtains earthquake insurance
for the Project during the Lease Term, then from and after the date upon which
Landlord obtains such earthquake insurance and continuing throughout the period
during which Landlord maintains such insurance, Operating Expenses for the Base
Year shall be deemed to be increased by the amount of the premium Landlord
reasonably estimates it would have incurred had Landlord maintained such
insurance for the same period of time during the Base Year as such insurance was
maintained by Landlord during such subsequent calendar year.
3.3.8 "SYSTEMS AND EQUIPMENT" shall mean any plant,
machinery, transformers, duct work, conduit, pipe, bus duct, cable, wires, and
other equipment, facilities, and systems designed to supply-heat, ventilation,
air conditioning and humidity or any other services or utilities, or comprising
or serving as any component or portion of the electrical, gas, steam, plumbing,
sprinkler, communications, alarm, security, or fire/life safety systems or
equipment, or any other mechanical, electrical, electronic, computer or other
systems or equipment which serve the Project in whole or in part.
3.3.9 "TAX EXPENSES" shall mean all federal, state,
county, or local governmental or municipal taxes, fees, charges or other
impositions of every kind and nature, whether general, special, ordinary or
extraordinary, (including, without limitation, real estate taxes, general and
special assessments, transit taxes, leasehold taxes or taxes based upon the
receipt of rent, including gross receipts or sales taxes applicable to the
receipt of rent, unless required to be paid by Tenant, personal property taxes
imposed upon the fixtures, machinery, equipment, apparatus, systems and
equipment, appurtenances, furniture and other personal property used in
connection with the Project, or any portion thereof), which shall be paid during
any Expense Year (without regard to any different fiscal year used by such
governmental or municipal authority) because of or in connection with the
ownership, leasing and operation of the Project, or any portion thereof.
3.3.9.1 Tax Expenses shall include, without
limitation:
(i) Any tax on the rent, right to rent or other
income from the Project, or any portion thereof, or as against the
business of leasing the Project, or any portion thereof;
-7-
(ii) Any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge in
addition to, or in substitution, partially or totally, of any
assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge previously included within the
definition of real property tax, it being acknowledged by Tenant and
Landlord that Proposition 13 was adopted by the voters of the State of
California in the June 1978 election ("PROPOSITION 13") and that
assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges may be imposed by
governmental agencies for such services as fire protection, street,
sidewalk and road maintenance, refuse removal and for other governmental
services formerly provided without charge to property owners or
occupants, and, in further recognition of the decrease in the level and
quality of governmental services and amenities as a result of
Proposition 13, Tax Expenses shall also include any governmental or
private assessments or the Project's contribution towards a governmental
or private cost-sharing agreement for the purpose of augmenting or
improving the quality of services and amenities normally provided by
governmental agencies. It is the intention of Tenant and Landlord that
all such new and increased assessments, taxes, fees, levies, and charges
and all similar assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges be included
within the definition of Tax Expenses for the purposes of this Lease;
(iii) Any assessment, tax, fee, levy, or charge
allocable to or measured by the area of the Premises or the Rent payable
hereunder, including, without limitation, any gross income tax with
respect to the receipt of such rent, or upon or with respect to the
possession, leasing, operating, management, maintenance, alteration,
repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises, or any portion
thereof; and
(iv) Any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge,
upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party,
creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises.
3.3.9.2 With respect to any assessment that may be
levied against, upon, or in connection with the Project, or any portion thereof,
and may be evidenced by improvement or other bonds, or may be paid in annual
installments, there shall be included within the definition of Tax Expenses with
respect to any tax fiscal year only the amount currently payable on such bonds,
including interest, for such tax fiscal year, or the current annual installment
for such tax fiscal year.
3.3.9.3 If the method of taxation of real estate
prevailing at the time of execution hereof shall be, or has been, altered so as
to cause the whole or any part of the taxes now, hereafter or heretofore levied,
assessed or imposed on real estate to be levied, assessed or imposed upon the
owner or owners of the Project, wholly or partially, as a capital levy or
otherwise, or on or measured by the rents received therefrom, then such new or
altered taxes attributable to the Project, or any portion thereof, shall be
included within the term "Tax Expenses" except that the same shall not include
any enhancement of said tax attributable to other income.
3.3.9.4 In no event shall Tax Expenses for any
Expense Year be less than Tax Expenses for the Base Year.
-8-
3.3.9.5 If Tax Expenses for any period during the
Lease Term or any extension thereof are increased after payment thereof for any
reason, including, without limitation, error or reassessment by applicable
governmental or municipal authorities, Tenant shall pay Landlord upon demand
Tenant's Share of any such increased Tax Expenses included by Landlord as
Building Tax Expenses pursuant to the terms of this Lease.
3.3.9.6 Any expenses incurred in attempting to
protest, reduce or minimize Tax Expenses shall be included in Tax Expenses in
the Expense Year such expenses are paid. Tax refunds shall be deducted from Tax
Expenses in the Expense Year they are received.
3.3.9.7 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section 3.3.9 (except as set forth in Sections 3.3.9.1 and
3.3.9.3, above), there shall be excluded from Tax Expenses (i) all excess
profits taxes, franchise taxes, gift taxes, capital stock taxes, inheritance and
succession taxes, estate taxes, federal and state income taxes, and other taxes
to the extent applicable to Landlord's general or net income (as opposed to
rents, receipts or income attributable to operations at the Project), (ii) any
items included as Operating Expenses, and (iii) any items paid by Tenant under
Article 9 of this Lease.
3.3.9.8 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
set forth in this Article 3, when calculating Direct Expenses for the Base Year,
such Direct Expenses shall not include any increase in Tax Expenses attributable
to special assessments, charges, costs, or fees, or due to modifications or
changes in governmental laws or regulations, including, but not limited to, the
institution of a split tax roll.
3.3.10 "TENANT'S SHARE" shall mean the percentage
calculated by dividing the number of rentable square feet of the Premises by the
total number of rentable square feet in the Building. In the event either the
rentable square feet of the Premises and/or the total rentable square feet of
the Building is changed, Tenant's Share shall be appropriately adjusted, and, as
to the Expense Year in which such change occurs, Tenant's Share for such Expense
Year shall be determined on the basis of the number of days during such Expense
Year that each such Tenant's Share was in effect.
3.3.11 Landlord shall, at Landlord's option, have the
right to segregate Direct Expenses into two (2) separate categories, one (1)
such category to be applicable only to Direct Expenses incurred for the Building
and the other category applicable to Direct Expenses incurred for the Project
Common Areas. If Landlord so segregates Direct Expenses into two (2) categories,
two (2) Tenant's Shares shall apply, one (1) such Tenant's Share shall be
calculated by dividing the number of rentable square feet of the Premises by the
total number of rentable square feet in the Building ("TENANT'S BUILDING
SHARE"), subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.3.10 above, and the
other Tenant's Share to be calculated by dividing the number of rentable square
feet of the Premises by the total number of rentable square feet (subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 1.2 of all buildings in the Project ("TENANT'S
COMMON AREA SHARE"). Consequently, if Landlord elects to so segregate Direct
Expenses info two (2) categories, any reference in this Lease to "TENANT'S SHARE
OF BUILDING DIRECT EXPENSES" shall mean and refer to both Tenant's Building
Share of Direct Expenses and Tenant's Common Area Share of Direct Expenses. No
Operating Expenses or Taxes may be charged in a duplicative
-9-
manner or as both Tenant's Building Share of Direct Expenses and Tenant's Common
Area Share of Direct Expenses.
3.4 Allocation of Direct Expenses.
3.4.1 Method of Allocation. The parties acknowledge that
the Building is a part of a multi-building project and that the costs and
expenses incurred in connection with the Project (i.e., the Direct Expenses)
should be shared between the tenants of the Building and the tenants of the
other buildings in the Project. Accordingly, as set forth in Section 3.3 above,
Direct Expenses (which consists of Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses) are
determined annually for the Project as a whole, and a portion of the Direct
Expenses, which portion shall be determined by Landlord on an equitable basis,
shall be allocated to the tenants of the Building (as opposed to the tenants of
any other buildings in the Project) and such portion shall be the Building
Direct Expenses for purposes of this Lease. Such portion of Direct Expenses
allocated to the tenants of the Building shall include all Direct Expenses
attributable solely to the Building and an equitable portion of the Direct
Expenses attributable to the Project as a whole.
3.4.2 Cost Pools. Landlord shall have the right, from time
to time, to equitably allocate some or all of the Direct Expenses for the
Project among different portions or occupants of the Project (the "COST POOLS"),
in Landlord's discretion. Such Cost Pools may include, but shall not be limited
to, the office space tenants of a building of the Project or of the Project, and
the retail space tenants of a building of the Project or of the Project. The
Direct Expenses within each such Cost Pool shall be allocated and charged to the
tenants within such Cost Pool in a reasonable, non-discriminatory and equitable
manner.
3.5 Calculation and Payment of Additional Rent. For every Expense
Year ending or commencing within the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord,
in the manner set forth in Section 3.5.1, below, and as Additional Rent an
amount equal to Tenant's Share of Building Direct Expenses for such Expense Year
in excess of the Building Direct Expenses for the Base Year.
3.5.1 Statement of Actual Building Direct Expenses and
Payment by Tenant. Landlord shall endeavor to give to Tenant on or before the
first day of April following the end of each Expense Year, a statement (the
"STATEMENT") which shall state the Building Direct Expenses incurred or accrued
for such preceding Expense Year, and which shall indicate the amount of Tenant's
Share of such Building Direct Expenses in excess of the Building Direct Expenses
for the Base Year. Upon receipt of the Statement for each Expense Year
commencing or ending during the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay, with its next
installment of Base Rent due, the full amount of Tenant's Share of Building
Direct Expenses for such Expense Year in excess of the Building Direct Expenses
for the Base Year, less the amounts, if any, paid during such Expense Year as
"Estimated Additional Rent," as that term is defined in Section 3.5.2, below.
The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Statement for any Expense Year
shall not prejudice Landlord or Tenant from enforcing its rights under this
Article 3. Even though the Lease Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the
Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant's Share of Building
Direct Expenses for the Expense Year in which this Lease terminates, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord any underpaid amounts described herein or Landlord shall
pay to Tenant any overpaid amounts, as applicable, within thirty (30) days
following delivery of the
-10-
Statement. The provisions of this Section 3.5.1 shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of the Lease Term.
3.5.2 Statement of Estimated Building Direct Expenses. In
addition, Landlord shall endeavor to give Tenant a yearly expense estimate
statement (the "ESTIMATE STATEMENT") which shall set forth Landlord's reasonable
estimate (the "ESTIMATE") of what the total amount of Building Direct Expenses
for the then-current Expense Year shall be and the estimated amount of Tenant's
Share of Building Direct Expenses for the then-current Expense Year in excess of
the Building Direct Expenses for the Base Year (the "ESTIMATED ADDITIONAL
RENT"). The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Estimate Statement for any
Expense Year shall not preclude Landlord from enforcing its rights to collect
any Estimated Additional Rent under this Article 3. Thereafter, Tenant shall
pay, with its next installment of Base Rent due, a fraction of the Estimated
Additional Rent for the then-current Expense Year (reduced by any amounts paid
pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 3.5.2). Such fraction shall have
as its numerator the number of months which have elapsed in such current Expense
Year, including the month of such payment, and twelve (12) as its denominator.
Until a new Estimate Statement is furnished (which Landlord shall have the right
to deliver to Tenant at any time), Tenant shall pay monthly, with the monthly
Base Rent installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the total
Estimated Additional Rent set forth in the previous Estimate Statement delivered
by Landlord to Tenant.
3.6 Landlord's Books and Records. Within ninety (90) days after
receipt of a Statement by Tenant ("REVIEW PERIOD"), if Tenant disputes the
amount of Additional Rent set forth in the Statement, Tenant's employees or an
accountant designated by Tenant and not paid on a contingency fee basis
(collectively, "TENANT REPRESENTATIVE"), may, after reasonable notice to
Landlord and during normal business hours, inspect and photocopy Landlord's
records at Landlord's offices, provided that Tenant is not then in default after
expiration of any applicable cure period, and provided, further, that Tenant and
the Tenant Representative shall, and each of them shall use their commercially
reasonable efforts to cause their respective employees to, maintain all
information contained in Landlord's records in strict confidence. If after such
inspection, Tenant notifies Landlord in writing ("AUDIT NOTICE") that Tenant
still disputes such Additional Rent a certification as to the proper amount
shall be made, at 'Tenant's expense, by an independent certified public
accountant (which accountant is a member of a nationally recognized accounting
firm and is not compensated on a contingency fee basis) selected by Landlord and
approved by Tenant. The designated accountant shall review the Landlord records
and calculations, each parties' contentions and this Lease. Landlord shall
cooperate in good faith with Tenant and the designated accountant to show Tenant
and the designated accountant the information upon which the certification is to
be based; provided that if such certification by the designated accountant
proves that the Direct Expenses set forth in the Statement were overstated by
more than five percent (5%), then the cost of the designated accountant and the
cost of such certification shall be paid for by Landlord. Promptly following the
parties receipt of such certification, the parties shall make such appropriate
payments or reimbursements, as the case may be, to each other, as are
determined to be owing pursuant to such certification, together with interest at
the Interest Rate from the date due until paid, in the case of payments by
Tenant to Landlord, or from the date paid until reimbursed, in the case of
reimbursements by Landlord to Tenant. The payment by Tenant of any amounts
pursuant to this Article 3 shall not preclude Tenant from questioning the
correctness of any Statement delivered by Landlord, provided that
-11-
the failure of Tenant to deliver the Audit Notice prior to the expiration of the
Review Period shall be conclusively deemed Tenant's approval of the applicable
Statement.
ARTICLE 4
SECURITY DEPOSIT
Concurrent with Tenant's execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit
with Landlord a security deposit (the "SECURITY DEPOSIT") in the amount set
forth in Section 8 of the Summary. The Security Deposit shall be held by
Landlord as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all the terms,
covenants, and conditions of this Lease to be kept and performed by Tenant
during the Lease Term. The Security Deposit shall not be mortgaged, assigned or
encumbered in any manner whatsoever by Tenant without the prior written consent
of Landlord. If Tenant defaults with respect to any provisions of this Lease,
including, but not limited to, the provisions relating to the payment of Rent,
Landlord may, but shall not be required to, use, apply or retain all or any part
of the Security Deposit for the payment of any Rent or any other sum in default,
or for the payment of any amount that Landlord may spend or become obligated to
spend by reason of Tenant's default, or to compensate Landlord for any other
loss or damage that Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant's default. If any
portion of the Security Deposit is so used or applied, Tenant shall, within five
(5) days after written demand therefor, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount
sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount, and Tenant's
failure to do so shall be a default under this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that
Landlord has the right to transfer or mortgage its interest in the Building or
Project and in this Lease and Tenant agrees that in the event of any such
transfer or mortgage, Landlord shall have the right to transfer or assign the
Security Deposit to the transferee or mortgagee. Upon such transfer or
assignment of the Security Deposit, Landlord shall thereby be released by Tenant
from all liability or obligation for the return of such Security Deposit and
Tenant shall look solely to such transferee or mortgagee for the return of the
Security Deposit. If Tenant shall fully and faithfully perform every provision
of this Lease to be performed by it, the Security Deposit, or any balance
thereof, shall be returned to Tenant, or, at Landlord's option, to the last
assignee of Tenant's interest hereunder, within thirty (30) days following the
expiration of the Lease Term. Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest on
the Security Deposit. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of
the California Civil Code, and all other provisions of law, now or hereafter
enforced, which provide that Landlord may claim from a security deposit only
those sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of rent, to
repair damage caused by Tenant or to clean the Premises, it being agreed that
Landlord may, in addition, claim those sums reasonably necessary to compensate
Landlord for any other loss or damage, foreseeable or unforeseeable, caused by
the acts or omissions of Tenant or any officer, employee, agent, contractor or
invitee of Tenant.
ARTICLE 5
USE OF PREMISES
5.1 Permitted Use. Tenant shall use the Premises solely for
general office purposes and related uses consistent with the character of the
Project as a first-class office building project, and Tenant shall not use or
permit the Premises to be used for any other purpose
-12-
or purposes whatsoever without the prior written consent of Landlord, which
Landlord may withhold in its sole discretion.
5.2 Prohibited Uses. Tenant further covenants and agrees that
Tenant shall not use, or suffer or permit any person or persons to use, the
Premises, the Common Areas (including, without limitation, the Project's parking
facility) or any part thereof for any use or purpose contrary to the provisions
of Exhibit E attached hereto ("RULES AND REGULATIONS"), or in violation of the
laws of the United States of America, the State of California, or the
ordinances, regulations or requirements of the local municipal or county
governing body or other lawful authorities having jurisdiction over the Project)
including, without limitation, any such laws, ordinances, regulations or
requirements relating to "Hazardous Material", as that term is defined in
Section 19.29 below. Tenant shall comply with all recorded covenants,
conditions, and restrictions now or hereafter affecting the Project.
5.3 Labor Harmony. Tenant shall not use (and upon notice from
Landlord shall cease using) contractors, services, workmen, labor, materials or
equipment that, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, would disturb labor harmony
with the workforce or trades engaged in performing other work, labor or services
in or about the Project.
ARTICLE 6
REPAIRS, ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS
6.1 Repairs. Tenant shall, at Tenant's own expense, keep the
Premises, including all improvements, fixtures and furnishings therein, in good
order, repair and condition at all times during the Lease Term. In addition,
Tenant shall, at Tenant's own expense, but under the supervision and subject to
the prior approval of Landlord, and within any reasonable period of time
specified by Landlord, promptly and adequately repair all damage to the Premises
and replace or repair all damaged, broken, or worn fixtures and appurtenances;
provided however, that, at Landlord's option, or if Tenant fails to make such
repairs, Landlord may, but need not, make such repairs and replacements, and
Tenant shall pay Landlord the cost thereof, including a percentage of the cost
thereof (to be uniformly established for the Building and/or the Project)
sufficient to reimburse Landlord for all overhead, general conditions, fees and
other costs or expenses arising from Landlord's involvement with such repairs
and replacements forthwith upon being billed for same. Landlord may, but shall
not be required to, enter the Premises at all reasonable times to make such
repairs, alterations, improvements or additions to the Premises or to the
Project or to any equipment located in the Project as Landlord shall desire or
deem necessary or as Landlord may be required to do by governmental or
quasi-governmental authority or court order or decree. Tenant hereby waives and
releases its right to make repairs at Landlord's expense under Sections 1941 and
1942 of the California Civil Code or under any similar law, statute, or
ordinance now or hereafter in effect.
6.2 Landlord's Consent to Alterations Tenant may, not make
any improvements, alterations, additions or changes to the Premises
(collectively, the "ALTERATIONS") without first procuring the prior written
consent of Landlord to such Alterations, which consent shall be requested by
Tenant not less than thirty (30) days prior to the commencement thereof, and
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld by Landlord. Notwithstanding
the
-13-
foregoing, Tenant may make strictly cosmetic changes to the finish work in the
Premises, without Landlord's consent, provided that the aggregate cost of any
such changes does not exceed $15,000.00 in any twelve (12) month period, and
such changes do not require any structural or other substantial modifications to
the Premises, do not require any changes to, or adversely affect, the Systems
and Equipment, and do not affect the exterior appearance of the Building. Tenant
shall give Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior notice of such cosmetic
changes, which notice shall be accompanied by reasonably adequate evidence that
such changes meet the criteria contained in this Section 6.2. The construction
of the initial improvements to the Premises shall be governed by the terms of
the Tenant Work Letter and not the terms of this Article 6.
6.3 Manner of Construction. Landlord may impose, as a condition
of its consent to any and all Alterations or repairs of the Premises or about
the Premises, such requirements as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem
desirable, including, but not limited to, the requirement that upon Landlord's
request given concurrently with Landlord's consent to such Alteration, Tenant
shall, at Tenant's expense, remove such Alterations upon the expiration or any
early termination of the Lease Term, and/or the requirement that Tenant utilize
for such purposes only contractors, materials, mechanics and materialmen
selected by Landlord. In any event, a contractor of Landlord's selection shall
perform all mechanical, electrical, plumbing, lifesafety, sprinkler and
structural work, and such work shall be performed at Tenant's cost. Tenant shall
construct such Alterations and perform such repairs in conformance with any and
all applicable federal, state, county or municipal laws, rules and regulations
and pursuant to a valid building permit, all in conformance with Landlord's
construction rules and regulations. All work with respect to any Alterations-
must be done in a good and workmanlike manner and diligently prosecuted to
completion to the end that the Premises shall at all times be a complete unit
except during the period of work. In performing the work of any such
Alterations, Tenant shall have the work performed in such manner so as not to
obstruct access to the Project or any portion thereof by any other tenant of the
Project, and so as not to obstruct the business of Landlord or other tenants in
the Project, or interfere with the labor force working in the Project. In
addition to Tenant's obligations under Section 19.18 of this Lease, upon
completion of any Alterations, Tenant agrees to cause a Notice of Completion to
be recorded in the office of the Recorder of the County of Los Angeles in
accordance with Section 3093 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any
successor statute, and Tenant shall deliver to the Project management office a
reproducible, full-sized copy of the "as built" drawings (1 /8 inch = 1 foot
scale) of the Alterations.
6.4 Payment for Improvements. In the event Tenant orders any
Alterations or repair work directly from Landlord, the charges for such work
shall be deemed Additional Rent under this Lease, due and payable prior to the
commencement of such work. If payment is made directly to contractors, Tenant
shall comply with Landlord's requirements for final lien releases and waivers in
connection with Tenant's payment for work to such contractors: Whether or not
Tenant orders any work directly from Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a
percentage of the cost of such work (such percentage, which shall vary depending
upon whether or not Tenant orders the work directly from Landlord, to be
established on a uniform basis for the Building and/or Project, but shall in no
event exceed five percent (5%) of the cost of such work) sufficient to
compensate Landlord for all overhead, general conditions, fees and other costs
and expenses arising from Landlord's involvement with such work.
-14-
6.5 Construction Insurance. In addition to the requirements of
Article 7 of this Lease, in the event that Tenant makes any Alterations, prior
to the commencement of such Alterations, Tenant shall provide Landlord with
evidence that Tenant carries "Builder's All Risk" insurance in an amount
approved by Landlord covering the construction of such Alterations, and such
other insurance as Landlord may require, it being understood and agreed that all
of such Alterations shall be insured by Tenant pursuant to Article 7 of this
Lease immediately upon completion thereof. In addition, Landlord may, in its
discretion, require Tenant to obtain a lien and completion bond or some
alternate form of security satisfactory to Landlord in an amount sufficient to
ensure the lien-free completion of such Alterations and naming Landlord as a
co-obligee Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the cost of such Alterations is
$15,000 or less and the net worth of the Tenant as of the date Tenant requests
Landlord's consent to such Alterations is not less than that of Tenant as of the
date of this Lease calculated under generally accepted accounting principles, no
lien and completion bond shall be required.
6.6 Landlord's Property. All Alterations, improvements, fixtures
and/or equipment which may be installed or placed in or about the Premises, and
all signs installed in, on or about the Premises, from time to time, shall be at
the sole cost of Tenant and shall be and become the property of Landlord.
Furthermore, if Landlord, as a condition to Landlord's consent to any
Alteration, requires that Tenant remove any Alteration upon the expiration or
early termination of the Lease Term, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant
prior to the end of the Lease Term, or given following any earlier termination
of this Lease, require Tenant, at Tenant's expense, to remove such Alterations
and to repair any damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal. If
Tenant fails to complete such removal and/or to repair any damage caused by the
removal of any Alterations, Landlord may do so and may charge the cost thereof
to Tenant.
ARTICLE 7
INSURANCE
7.1 Indemnification and Waiver. To the extent not prohibited by
law, Landlord, its members, their partners and all of their respective officers,
agents (including, without limitation, Transwestern Commercial Services),
servants, employees, and independent contractors (collectively, "LANDLORD
PARTIES") shall not be liable for, and are hereby released from any
responsibility for, any damage either to person or property or resulting from
the loss of use thereof, which damage is sustained by Tenant or by other persons
claiming through Tenant. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold
harmless the Landlord Parties from any and all loss, cost, damage, expense and
liability (including without limitation court costs and reasonable attorneys'
fees) incurred in connection with or arising from any cause in, on or about the
Premises, provided that Tenant shall not be required to indemnify and hold
Landlord harmless from any loss, cost, liability, damage or expense, including,
but not limited to, penalties, fines, attorneys' fees or costs (collectively,
"CLAIMS"), to any person, property or entity resulting from the negligence or
willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents, contractors, employees or
licensees, in connection with Landlord's activities in the Building (except for
damage to the Tenant Improvements and Tenant's personal property, fixtures,
furniture and equipment in the Premises, to the extent Tenant is required to
obtain the requisite insurance coverage pursuant to this Lease) or the Project,
and Landlord hereby so indemnifies and holds Tenant harmless from
-15-
any such Claims; provided further that because Landlord is required to maintain
insurance on the Building and Tenant compensates Landlord for such insurance as
part of Tenant's Share of Direct Expenses and because of the existence of
waivers of subrogation set forth in Section 7.5 of this Lease, and to minimize
multiplicity of actions, Landlord hereby defends, indemnifies and holds Tenant
harmless from any Claims to any property outside of the Premises, including
damage to the Building and Landlord's property, even if resulting from the
negligent acts, omissions, or willful misconduct of Tenant or those of its
agents, contractors, servants, employees or licensees. Similarly, since Tenant
must carry insurance pursuant to this Article 7 to cover its personal property
within the Premises and the Tenant Improvements, and because of the waiver of
subrogation set forth in Section 7.5 and to minimize duplicity of action, Tenant
hereby defends, indemnifies and holds Landlord harmless from any Claim to any
property within the Premises, even if resulting from the negligent acts,
omissions or willful misconduct of Landlord or those of its agents, contractors,
employees or licensees. The provisions of this Section 7.1 shall survive the
expiration or sooner termination of this Lease with respect to any claims or
liability arising in connection with any event occurring prior to such
expiration or termination.
7.2 Tenant's Compliance with Landlord's Fire and Casualty
Insurance. Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, comply with all insurance company
requirements pertaining to the use of the Premises. If Tenant's conduct or use
of the Premises causes any increase in the premium for such insurance policies
then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any such increase within ten (10) days
after receipt of notice of such increase. Tenant, at Tenant's expense, shall
comply with all rules, orders, regulations or requirements of the American
Insurance Association (formerly the National Board of Fire Underwriters) and
with any similar body.
7.3 Tenant's Insurance. Tenant shall maintain the following
coverages in the following amounts.
7.3.1 Commercial General Liability Insurance on an
occurrence basis covering the insured against claims of bodily injury, personal
injury and property damage arising out of Tenant's operations, assumed
liabilities or use of the Premises, including the following divisions of
insurance: Premises and Operations, Independent Contractors and Blanket
Contractual Liability. Such insurance shall cover the insuring provisions of
this Lease and the performance by Tenant of the indemnity agreements set forth
in Section 7.1 of this Lease, for limits of liability not less than:
Bodily Injury and
Property Damage Liability $3,000,000 each occurrence
$3,000,000 annual aggregate
Personal Injury Liability $3,000,000 each occurrence
$3,000,000 annual aggregate
0% Insured's participation
7.3.2 Property Insurance covering (i) all office
furniture, trade fixtures, office equipment, merchandise and all other items of
Tenant's property on the Premises installed by, for, or at the expense of
Tenant, (ii) the Tenant Improvements, and (iii) all other
-16-
improvements, alterations and additions to the Premises. Such insurance shall be
written on an "all risks" of physical loss or damage basis, for the full
replacement cost value new without deduction for depreciation of the covered
items and in amounts that meet any co-insurance clauses of the policies of
insurance and shall include a vandalism and malicious mischief endorsement,
sprinkler leakage coverage and earthquake sprinkler leakage coverage.
7.3.3 Loss-of-income and extra-expense insurance in such
amounts as will reimburse Tenant for direct or indirect loss of earnings
attributable to all perils commonly insured against by prudent tenants or
attributable to prevention of access to the Premises or to the Building as a
result of such perils.
7.4 Form of Policies. The minimum limits of policies of insurance
required of Tenant under this Lease shall in no event limit the liability of
Tenant under this Lease. All insurance shall (i) be issued by an insurance
company having a rating of not less than A-X in Best's Insurance Guide or which
is otherwise acceptable to Landlord and licensed to do business in the State of
California; and (ii) provide that said insurance shall not be canceled or
coverage changed unless thirty (30) days' prior written notice shall have been
given to Landlord and any mortgagee of Landlord. In addition, the insurance
described in Section 7.3.1 shall (a) name Landlord, and any other party
specified by Landlord, as an additional insured; (b) specifically cover the
liability assumed by Tenant under this Lease including, but not limited to,
Tenant's obligations under Section 7.1 of this Lease; and (c) be primary
insurance as to all claims thereunder and provide that any insurance carried by
Landlord is excess and is non-contributing with any insurance requirement of
Tenant. Tenant shall deliver all policies or certificates thereof to Landlord on
or before the Delivery Date and at least thirty (30) days before the expiration
dates thereof. In the event Tenant shall fail to procure such insurance, or to
deliver such policies or certificate, Landlord may, at its option, (i) deny
Tenant the right to occupy the Premises until such time as Tenant delivers such
policies or certificate (which denial shall have no effect upon the Lease
Commencement Date), or (ii) following three (3) days prior notice to Tenant,
procure such policies for the account of Tenant, and the cost thereof shall be
paid to Landlord within five (5) days after delivery to Tenant of bills
therefor.
7.5 Subrogation. Tenant agrees to have its insurer(s) issuing the
insurance described in Sections 7.3.2 and 7.3.3 above, to waive any rights of
subrogation that such companies may have against Landlord. Tenant hereby waives
any right that Tenant may have against Landlord as a result of any loss or
damage to the extent such loss or damage is insurable under such policies.
7.6 Additional Insurance Obligations. Tenant shall carry and
maintain during the entire Lease Term, at Tenant's sole cost and expense,
increased amounts of the insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to
this Article 7, and such other reasonable types of insurance coverage and in
such reasonable amounts covering the Premises and Tenant's operations therein,
as may be reasonably requested by Landlord.
-17-
ARTICLE 8
DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION
8.1 Repair of Damage to Premises by Landlord. Tenant shall
promptly notify Landlord of any damage to the Premises resulting from fire or
any other casualty. Within sixty (60) days after the date Landlord learns of the
necessity for repairs as a result of damage, Landlord shall notify Tenant
("DAMAGE REPAIR ESTIMATE") of Landlord's estimated assessment of the period of
time in which the repairs will be completed, which assessment shall be based
upon the opinion of a contractor reasonably selected by Landlord and experienced
in comparable repairs of high-rise office buildings. If the Premises or any
Common Areas serving or providing access to the Premises shall be damaged by
fire or other casualty, Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to
reasonable delays for insurance adjustment or other matters beyond Landlord's
reasonable control, and subject to all other terms of this Article 8, restore
the base, shell and core of the Building and such Common Areas. Such restoration
shall be to substantially the same condition of the base, shell, and core of the
Building and the Common Areas prior to the casualty, except for modifications
required by zoning and building codes and other laws or by the holder of a
mortgage on the Building or Project or any other modifications to the Common
Areas deemed desirable by Landlord, provided that access to the Premises and any
common restrooms serving the Premises shall not be materially impaired. Upon the
occurrence of any damage to the Premises, Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or to
any party designated by Landlord) all insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under
Tenant's insurance required under Section 7.3.2 of this Lease, and Landlord
shall repair any injury or damage to the Tenant Improvements installed in the
Premises and shall return such Tenant Improvements to their original condition;
provided that if the cost of such repair by Landlord exceeds the amount of
insurance proceeds received by Landlord from Tenant's insurance carrier, as
assigned by Tenant, the cost of such repairs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord
prior to Landlord's repair of the damage. In connection with such repairs and
replacements, Tenant shall, prior to the commencement of construction, submit to
Landlord, for Landlord's review and approval, all plans, specifications and
working drawings relating thereto, and Landlord shall select the contractors to
perform such improvement work. Such submittal of plans and construction of
improvements shall be performed in substantial compliance with the terms of the
Tenant Work Letter as though such construction of improvements were the initial
construction of the Tenant Improvements. Landlord shall not be liable for any
inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or its visitors, or injury to Tenant's
business resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof; provided
however, that if such fire or other casualty shall have damaged the Premises,
and if such damage is not the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of
Tenant or Tenant's employees, contractors, licensees, or invitees, Landlord
shall allow Tenant a proportionate abatement of Rent during the time and to the
extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under
this Lease, and not occupied by Tenant as a result thereof.
8.2 Landlord's Option to Repair: Notwithstanding the terms of
Section 8.1 of this Lease, Landlord may elect not to rebuild and/or restore the
Premises, Building and/or Project, and instead terminate this Lease, by
notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within sixty (60) days after
Landlord learns of the necessity for repairs as the result of damage, such
notice to include a termination date giving Tenant ninety (90) days to vacate
the Premises, but Landlord may so elect only if the Building or Project shall be
damaged by fire or other
-18-
casualty or cause, whether or not the Premises are affected, and one or more of
the following conditions is present: (i) in Landlord's reasonable judgment,
repairs cannot reasonably be completed within one hundred twenty (120) days
after the date Landlord learns of the necessity for repairs as the result of
damage (when such repairs are made without the payment of overtime or other
premiums); (ii) the holder of any mortgage on the Building or Project or ground
lessor with respect to the Building or Project shall require that the insurance
proceeds or any portion thereof be used to retire the mortgage debt, or shall
terminate the ground lease, as the case may be; or (iii) the damage is not fully
covered, except for deductible amounts, by Landlord's insurance policies.
However, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to
Landlord's termination right as provided above, and the Damage Repair Estimate
indicates that repairs cannot be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days
after being commenced, Tenant may elect, not later than thirty (30) days after
Tenant's receipt of the Damage Repair Estimate, to terminate this Lease by
written notice to Landlord effective as of the date specified in Tenant's
notice.
8.3 Waiver of Statutory Provisions. The provisions of this Lease,
including this Article 8, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and
Tenant with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part
of the Premises, the Building or the Project, and any statute or regulation of
the State of California, including, without limitation, Sections 1932(2) and
1933(4) of the California Civil Code, with respect to any rights or obligations
concerning damage or destruction in the absence of an express agreement between
the parties, and any other statute or regulation, now or hereafter in effect,
shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or
any part of the Premises, the Building or the Project.
8.4 Damage Near End of Term. In the event that the Premises, the
Building, or the Project is destroyed or damaged to any substantial extent
during the last twenty-four (24) months of the Lease Term, then notwithstanding
anything contained in this Article 8, Landlord shall have the option to
terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Tenant of the exercise of such
option within sixty (60) days after Landlord learns of the necessity for repairs
as the result of such damage or destruction, in which event this Lease shall
cease and terminate as of the date of such notice, Tenant shall pay the Base
Rent and Additional Rent, properly apportioned up to such date of damage, and
both parties hereto shall thereafter be freed and discharged of all further
obligations hereunder, except as provided for in provisions of this Lease which
by their terms survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.
ARTICLE 9
PERSONAL PROPERTY AND OTHER TAX
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for any and all taxes
required to be paid by Landlord (except to the extent included in Tax Expenses
by Landlord), excluding state, local and federal personal or corporate income
taxes measured by the net income of Landlord from all sources and estate and
inheritance taxes, whether or not now customary or within the contemplation of
the parties hereto, when: (i) such taxes are measured by or reasonably
attributable to the cost or value of Tenant's equipment, furniture, fixtures and
other personal property located in the Premises, or by the cost or value of any
leasehold improvements made in
-19-
or to the Premises by or for Tenant, to the extent the cost or value of such
leasehold improvements exceeds the cost or value of a building standard
build-out as determined by Landlord regardless of whether title to such
improvements shall be vested in Tenant or Landlord; (ii) such taxes are assessed
upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management,
maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or
any portion of the Project, including the Project's parking facility; (iii) such
taxes are assessed upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a
party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises; or (iv)
such taxes or assessments are levied or assessed upon the Project or any part
thereof or upon Landlord by any governmental authority or entity, and relate to
the construction, operation, management, use, alteration or repair of mass
transit improvements.
ARTICLE 10
SERVICES AND UTILITIES
10.1 Standard Tenant Services. Landlord shall provide the
following services on all days (unless otherwise stated below) during the Lease
Term.
10.1.1 Subject to all governmental rules, regulations and
guidelines applicable thereto, Landlord shall provide heating ventilation and
air conditioning when necessary for normal comfort for normal office use in the
Premises, from Monday through Friday, during the period from 8:00 A.M. to 6:00
P.M. and on Saturday during the period from 9:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M., except for
the date of observation of New Year's Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Memorial

10.1.2 Landlord shall provide adequate electrical wiring,
power and facilities for connection to Tenant's lighting fixtures and incidental
uses, provided that (i) the monthly connected electrical load of the incidental
use equipment does not exceed an average of two (2.0) xxxxx per usable square
foot of the Premises, and (ii) the monthly connected electrical load of Tenant's
lighting fixtures does not exceed an average of one and one-half (1 1/2) watt
per usable square foot of the Premises. Tenant shall bear the initial cost of
lamps, starters and ballasts for lighting fixtures within the Premises. Tenant
shall also bear the cost of replacement of non-standard lamps, starters and
ballasts for lighting fixtures within the Premises; however, the cost of
replacement of Building-standard lamps, starters and ballasts for lighting
fixtures within the Premises shall be included in Operating Expenses.
10.1.3 Landlord shall provide city water from the regular
Building outlets for drinking, lavatory and toilet purposes.
10.1.4 Landlord shall provide janitorial services Monday
through Friday except the date of observation of the Holidays, in and about the
Premises.
10.1.5 Landlord shall provide nonexclusive automatic
passenger elevator service.
-20-
10.1.6 Landlord shall provide nonexclusive freight
elevator service subject to scheduling by Landlord.
10.2 Overstandard Tenant Use. Tenant shall not, without
Landlord's prior written consent, use heat-generating machines, machines other
than normal office machines, or equipment or lighting other than Building
standard lights in the Premises, which may affect the temperature otherwise
maintained by the air conditioning system or increase the water normally
furnished for the Premises by Landlord pursuant to the terms of Section 10.1 of
this Lease. If such consent is given, Landlord shall have the right to install
supplementary air conditioning units or other facilities in the Premises,
including supplementary or additional metering devices, and the cost thereof,
including the cost of installation, operation and maintenance, increased wear
and tear on existing equipment and other similar charges, together with an
administrative fee, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon billing by
Landlord. If Tenant uses water or electricity in excess of that supplied by
Landlord pursuant to Section 10.1 of this Lease, and in excess of that typically
used by office tenants of the Building, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon
billing, the cost of such excess consumption, the cost of the installation,
operation, and maintenance of equipment which is installed in order to supply
such excess consumption, and the cost of the increased wear and tear on existing
equipment caused by such excess consumption; and Landlord may install devices to
separately meter any increased use and in such event Tenant shall pay the
increased cost directly to Landlord, on demand, including the cost of such
additional metering devices. If Tenant desires to use heat, ventilation or air
conditioning during hours other than those for which Landlord is obligated to
supply such utilities pursuant to the terms of Section 10.1 of this Lease,
Tenant shall give Landlord such prior notice, if any, as Landlord shall from
time to time establish as appropriate, of Tenant's desired use in order to
supply such utilities, and Landlord shall supply such utilities to Tenant at
such commercially reasonable hourly cost to Tenant as Landlord shall from time
to time establish. Amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord for such use of
additional utilities shall be deemed Additional Rent hereunder and shall be
billed on a monthly basis. Landlord may increase the hours or days during which
air conditioning, heating and ventilation are provided to the Premises and the
Building to accommodate the usage by tenants occupying two-thirds or more of the
rentable square feet of the Building or Project.
10.3 Interruption of Use. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not
be liable for damages, by abatement of Rent or otherwise, for failure to furnish
or delay in furnishing any service (including telephone and telecommunication
services), or for any diminution in the quality or quantity thereof, when such
failure or delay or diminution is occasioned, in whole or in part, by repairs,
replacements, or improvements, by any strike, lockout or other labor trouble, by
inability to secure electricity, gas, water, or other fuel at the Building or
Project after reasonable effort to do so, by any accident or casualty
whatsoever, by act or default of Tenant or other parties, or by any other cause
beyond Landlord's reasonable control; and such failures or delays or diminution
shall never be deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant's use
and possession of the Premises or relieve Tenant from paying Rent or performing
any of its obligations under this Lease. Furthermore, Landlord shall not be
liable under any circumstances for a loss of, or injury to, property or for
injury to, or interference with, Tenant's business, including, without
limitation, loss of profits, however occurring, through or in connection with or
incidental to a failure to furnish any of the services or utilities as set forth
in this Article 10. If any governmental entity promulgates or revises any
statute, ordinance, building code, fire code
-21-
or other code or imposes mandatory or voluntary controls or guidelines on
Landlord or the Project or any portion thereof, relating to the use or
conservation of energy, water, gas, light or electricity or the reduction of
automobile or other emissions or the provision of any other utility or service
provided with respect to this Lease or if Landlord is required to make
alterations to the Project or any portion thereof in order to comply with such
mandatory or voluntary controls or guidelines, then Landlord may, in its sole
discretion, comply with such mandatory or voluntary controls or guidelines or
make such alterations to the Project related thereto without creating any
liability of Landlord to Tenant under this Lease, provided that the Premises are
not thereby rendered untenantable, and further provided that Landlord will not
voluntarily reduce the level of services provided to the Premises unless
Landlord is motivated to do so by anticipated costs savings and efficiencies of
operation consistent with the first class character of the Project. Such
compliance and the making of such permitted alterations shall in no event
entitle Tenant to any damages, relieve Tenant of the obligation to pay the full
Rent reserved hereunder or constitute or be construed as a constructive or other
eviction of Tenant. In addition, the cost of such compliance and alterations
shall be included in Operating Expenses.
10.4 Additional Services. Landlord shall also have the exclusive
right, but not the obligation, to provide any additional services which may be
required by Tenant, including, without limitation, locksmithing, lamp
replacement, additional janitorial service, and additional repairs and
maintenance, provided that Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon billing, the sum of
all costs to Landlord of such additional services plus an administration fee at
a rate equal to the fee Landlord is generally charging tenants of the Project
for such services. Charges for any service for which Tenant is required to pay
from time to time hereunder shall be deemed Additional Rent hereunder and shall
be billed on a monthly basis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
in this Lease, if Tenant fails to make payment for any such services within ten
(10) days of receipt of bills therefor, Landlord may discontinue any or all of
such services and such discontinuance shall not be deemed to constitute an
eviction or disturbance of Tenant's use and possession of the Premises or
relieve Tenant from paying Rent or performing any of its other obligations under
this Lease.
ARTICLE 11
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
11.1 Transfers. Tenant shall not, without the prior written
consent of Landlord, assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, or permit
any lien to attach to, or otherwise transfer, this Lease or any interest
hereunder, permit any assignment, or other transfer of this Lease or any
interest hereunder by operation of law, sublet the Premises or any part thereof,
or permit the use of the Premises by any persons other than Tenant and its
employees (all of the foregoing are hereinafter sometimes referred to
collectively as "TRANSFERS" and any entity to whom any Transfer is made or
sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes referred to as a "TRANSFEREE"). If
Tenant desires Landlord's consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall notify Landlord
in writing, which notice (the "TRANSFER NOTICE") shall include (i) the proposed
effective date of the Transfer, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days
nor more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of delivery of the
Transfer Notice, (ii) a description of the portion of the Premises to be
transferred (the "SUBJECT SPACE"), (iii) all of the terms of the proposed
Transfer and the consideration therefor, including calculation of the "Transfer
-22-
Premium", as that term is defined in Section 11.3 below, in connection with such
Transfer, the name and address of the proposed Transferee, and a copy of all
existing executed and/or proposed documentation pertaining to the proposed
Transfer, including all existing operative documents to be executed to evidence
such Transfer or the agreements incidental or related to such Transfer, and (iv)
current financial statements of the proposed Transferee (including, without
limitation, federal income tax returns for the two (2) most recent years)
certified by an officer, partner or owner thereof, and any other information
required by Landlord, which will enable Landlord to determine the financial
responsibility, character, and reputation of the proposed Transferee, nature of
such Transferee's business and proposed use of the Subject Space, and such other
information as Landlord may reasonably require. Any Transfer made without
Landlord's prior written consent shall, at Landlord's option, be null, void and
of no effect, and shall, at Landlord's option, constitute a default by Tenant.
Whether or not Landlord consents to any proposed Transfer, Tenant shall pay
Landlord's review and processing fees, as well as any reasonable legal fees
incurred by Landlord, within thirty (30) days after written request by Landlord,
which fees shall not exceed, in the aggregate, Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000.00)
per proposed Transfer.
11.2 Landlord's Consent. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold
its consent to any proposed Transfer of the Subject Space to the Transferee on
the terms specified in the Transfer Notice. Without limitation as to other
reasonable grounds for withholding consent, the parties hereby agree that it
shall be reasonable under this Lease and under any applicable law for Landlord
to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer where one or more of the following
apply:
11.2.1 The Transferee is of a character or reputation or
engaged in a business which is not consistent with the quality of the Building
or the Project,;
11.2.2 The Transferee intends to use the Subject Space for
purposes which are not permitted under this Lease;
11.2.3 The Transferee is either a governmental agency or
instrumentality thereof;
11.2.4 The Transfer will result in more than a reasonable
and safe number of occupants per floor within the Subject Space;
11.2.5 The Transferee is not a party of reasonable
financial worth and/or financial stability in light of the responsibilities
involved under the Lease on the date consent is requested;
11.2.6 The proposed Transfer would cause a violation of
another lease for space in the Project, or would give an occupant of the Project
a right to cancel its lease; or
11.2.7 Either the proposed Transferee, or any person of
entity which directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under
common control with, the proposed Transferee is negotiating with Landlord to
lease space in the Project.
-23-
If Landlord consents to any Transfer pursuant to the terms of this
Section 11.2 (and does not exercise any recapture rights Landlord may have under
Section 11.4 of this Lease), Tenant may within six (6) months after Landlord's
consent, but not later than the expiration of said six-month period, enter into
such Transfer of the Premises or portion thereof, upon substantially the same
terms and conditions as are set forth in the Transfer Notice furnished by Tenant
to Landlord pursuant to Section 11.1 of this Lease, provided that if there are
any changes in the terms and conditions from those specified in the Transfer
Notice (i) such that Landlord would initially have been entitled to refuse its
consent to such Transfer under this Section 11.2, or (ii) which would cause the
proposed Transfer to be more favorable to the Transferee than the terms set
forth in Tenant's original Transfer Notice, Tenant shall again submit the
Transfer to Landlord for its approval and other action under this Article 11
(including Landlord's right of recapture, if any, under Section 11.4 of this
Lease). Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Lease, if Tenant or any
proposed Transferee claims that Landlord has unreasonably withheld or delayed
its consent to a proposed Transfer or otherwise has breached its obligations
under this Article 11, Tenant's and such Transferee's sole remedy shall be to
seek a declaratory judgment and/or injunctive relief, and Tenant, on behalf of
itself and, to the extent permitted by law, such proposed Transferee, waives all
other remedies against Landlord, including without limitation, the right to seek
monetary damages or to terminate this Lease.
11.3 Transfer Premium.
11.3.1 Definition of Transfer Premium. If Landlord
consents to a Transfer, as a condition thereto which the parties hereby agree is
reasonable, Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of any "Transfer
Premium," as that term is defined in this Section 11.3, received by Tenant from
such Transferee. "TRANSFER PREMIUM" shall mean all rent, additional rent or
other consideration payable by such Transferee in connection with the Transfer
in excess of the Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease
during the term of the Transfer on a per rentable square foot basis if less than
all of the Premises is transferred, after deducting the reasonable expenses
incurred by Tenant for (i) any changes, alterations and improvements to the
Premises in connection with the Transfer, and (ii) any brokerage commissions in
connection with the Transfer (collectively, the "TRANSFER COSTS"). "Transfer
Premium" shall also include, but not be limited to, key money, bonus money or
other cash consideration paid by Transferee to Tenant in connection with such
Transfer, and any payment in excess of fair market value for services rendered
by Tenant to Transferee or for assets, fixtures, inventory, equipment, or
furniture transferred by Tenant to Transferee in connection with such Transfer.
If part of the Transfer Premium shall be payable by the Transferee other than in
cash, Landlord's share of such non-cash consideration shall be in such form as
is reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.
11.3.2 Payment of Transfer Premium. The determination of
the amount of Landlord's applicable share of the Transfer Premium shall be made
on an annual basis in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.3.2, but an
estimate of the amount of Landlord's applicable share of the Transfer Premium
shall be made each month and one-twelfth of such estimated amount shall be paid
to Landlord promptly, but in no event later than the next date for payment of
Base Rent hereunder, subject to an annual reconciliation on each anniversary
date of the Transfer. If the payments to Landlord under this Section 11.3.2
during the twelve (12) months preceding each annual reconciliation exceed the
amount of Landlord's applicable share of
-24-
Transfer Premium determined on an annual basis, then Landlord shall credit the
overpayment against Tenant's future obligations under this Section 11.3.2 or if
the overpayment occurs during the last year of the Transfer in question, refund
the excess to Tenant. If Tenant has underpaid Landlord's applicable share of the
Transfer Premium, as determined by such annual reconciliation, Tenant shall pay
the amount of such deficiency to Landlord promptly, but in no event later than
the next date for payment of Base Rent hereunder. For purposes of calculating
the Transfer Premium on an annual basis, Tenant's Transfer Costs shall be deemed
to be offset against the first rent, additional rent or other consideration
payable by the Transferee, until such Transfer Costs are exhausted.
11.3.3 Calculations of Rent. In the calculation of the
Rent (as it relates to the Transfer Premium calculated under Section 11.3.1 of
this Lease), the Rent paid during each annual period for the Subject Space by
Tenant shall be computed after adjusting such rent to the actual effective rent
to be paid, taking into consideration any and all leasehold concessions granted
in connection therewith, including, but not limited to, any rent credit and
tenant improvement allowance. For purposes of calculating any such effective
rent all such concessions shall be amortized on a straight-line basis over the
relevant term.
11.4 Landlord's Option as to Subject Space. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Article 11, Landlord shall have the
option, by giving written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt
of any Transfer Notice, to recapture the Subject Space. Such recapture notice
shall cancel and terminate this Lease with respect to the Subject Space as of
the date stated in the Transfer Notice as the effective date of the proposed
Transfer until the last day of the term of the Transfer as set forth in the
Transfer Notice. In the event of a recapture by Landlord, if this Lease shall be
canceled with respect to less than the entire Premises, the Rent reserved herein
shall be prorated on the basis of the number of rentable square feet retained by
Tenant in proportion to the number of rentable square feet contained in the
Premises, and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force
and effect, and upon request of either party, the parties shall execute written
confirmation of the same. If Landlord declines, or fails to elect in a timely
manner to recapture the Subject Space under this Section 11.4, then, provided
Landlord has consented to the proposed Transfer, Tenant shall be entitled to
proceed to transfer the Subject Space to the proposed Transferee, subject to
provisions of this Article 11.
11.5 Effect of Transfer. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, (i)
the terms and conditions of this Lease shall in no way be deemed to have been
waived or modified, (ii) such consent shall not be deemed consent to any further
Transfer by either Tenant or a Transferee, (iii) Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord, promptly after execution, an original executed copy of all
documentation pertaining to the Transfer in form reasonably acceptable to
Landlord, (iv) Tenant shall furnish upon Landlord's request a complete
statement, certified by an independent certified public accountant, or Tenant's
chief financial officer, setting forth in detail the computation of any Transfer
Premium Tenant has derived and shall derive from such Transfer, and (v) no
Transfer relating to this Lease or agreement entered into with respect thereto,
whether with or without Landlord's consent, shall relieve Tenant or any
guarantor of the Lease from liability under this Lease. Landlord or its
authorized representatives shall have the right at all reasonable times to audit
the books, records and papers of Tenant relating to any Transfer, and shall have
the right to make copies thereof. If the Transfer Premium with respect to any
Transfer shall be
-25-
found understated, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after demand, pay the
deficiency and Landlord's costs of such audit, and if understated by more than
ten percent (10%), Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge and interest in
connection with such understated amount at rates as set forth in Section 19.28
of this Lease.
11.6 Additional Transfers. For purposes of this Lease, the term
"Transfer" shall also include (i) if Tenant is a partnership, the withdrawal or
change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, of fifty percent (50%) or
more of the partners, or transfer of FIFTY percent (50%) or more of partnership
interests, within a twelve (12)-month period, or the dissolution of the
partnership without immediate reconstitution thereof, and (ii) if Tenant is a
closely held corporation (i.e., whose stock is not publicly held and not traded
through an exchange or over the counter), (A) the dissolution, merger,
consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant or (B) the sale or other
transfer of more than an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) of the voting shares
of Tenant (other than to immediate family members by reason of gift or death),
within a twelve (12)-month period, or (C) the sale, mortgage, hypothecation or
pledge of more than an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) of the value of the
unencumbered assets of Tenant within a twelve (12)month period.
11.7 Non-Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Article 11, an assignment or subletting of all or a portion of
the Premises to an affiliate of Tenant (an entity which is controlled by,
controls, or is under common control with, Tenant), shall not be deemed a
Transfer under this Article 11, provided that Tenant notifies Landlord of any
such assignment or sublease and promptly supplies Landlord with any documents or
information requested by Landlord regarding such assignment or sublease or such
affiliate, and further provided that such assignment or sublease is not a
subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Lease. An assignee of
Tenant's entire interest in this Lease pursuant to the immediately preceding
sentence may be referred to herein as an "AFFILIATED ASSIGNEE." "CONTROL," as
used in this Section 11.7, shall mean the ownership, directly or indirectly, of
greater than FIFTY percent (50%) of the voting securities of, or possession of
the right to vote, in the ordinary direction of its affairs, of greater than
fifty percent (50%) of the voting interest in, an entity.
ARTICLE 12
DEFAULTS; REMEDIES
12.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following
shall constitute a default of this Lease by Tenant:
12.1.1 Any failure by Tenant to pay any Rent or any other
charge required to be paid under this Lease, or any part thereof, when due; or
12.1.2 Any failure by Tenant to observe or perform any
other provision, covenant or condition of this Lease to be observed or performed
by Tenant where such failure continues for fifteen (15) days after written
notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided that (i) any such notice shall
be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under California Code
of Civil Procedure Section 1161 or any similar or successor law; (ii) if the
-26-
nature of such default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within a
fifteen (15) day period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if it
diligently commences such cure within such period and thereafter diligently
proceeds to rectify and cure said default, as soon as possible; and (iii) the
cure period specified in this Section 12.1.2 shall not be applicable to Tenant's
obligations under Sections 7.3 and 7.4 and Sections 19.1 and 19.11 of this
Lease; i.e., Tenant's failure to comply with any provision, covenant or
condition described in such Sections and/or articles within the time periods
specified therein shall constitute a default under this Section 12.1.2; or
12.1.3 Abandonment of the Premises by Tenant;
("ABANDONMENT" is herein defined to include, but is not limited to, any absence
by Tenant from the Premises for three (3) business days or longer while in
default of any provision of this Lease.
12.2 Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of any event of
default by Tenant, Landlord shall have, in addition to any other remedies
available to Landlord at law or in equity, the option to pursue any one or more
of the following remedies, each and all of which shall be cumulative and
nonexclusive, without any notice or demand whatsoever.
12.2.1 Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall
immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so,
Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for
possession or arrearages in rent, enter upon and take possession of the Premises
and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the
Premises or any part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim
or damages therefor; and Landlord may recover from Tenant the following:
(i) The worth at the time of award of any unpaid
rent which had been earned at the time of such termination; plus
(ii) The worth at the time of award of the amount
by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination
until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that
Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus
(iii) The worth at the time of award of the
amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Lease Term after
the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant
proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus
(iv) Any other amount necessary to compensate
Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to
perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course
of things would be likely to result therefrom, specifically including
but not limited to, brokerage commissions and advertising expenses
incurred, expenses of remodeling the Premises or any portion thereof for
a new tenant, whether for the same or a different use, and any special
concessions made to obtain a new tenant; and
(v) At Landlord's election, such other amounts in
addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to
time by applicable law.
-27-
The term "rent" as used in this Section 12.2 shall be deemed to be and
to mean all sums of every nature required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the
terms of this Lease, whether to Landlord or to others. As used in Paragraphs
12.2.1(i) and (ii), above, the "worth at the time of award" shall be computed by
allowing interest at the rate set forth in Section 19.28 of this Lease, but in
no case greater than the maximum amount of such interest permitted by law. As
used in Paragraph 12.2.1 (iii) above, the "worth at the time of award" shall be
computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve
Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).
12.2.2 Landlord shall have the remedy described in California
Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after lessee's
breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the
right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). Accordingly,
if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any default by
Tenant, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, enforce
all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover
all rent as it becomes due.
12.3 Sublessees of Tenant. Whether or not Landlord elects to terminate
this Lease on account of any default by Tenant as set forth in this Article 12,
Landlord shall have the right to terminate any and all subleases, licenses,
concessions or other consensual arrangements for possession entered into by
Tenant and affecting the Premises or may, in Landlord's sole discretion, succeed
to Tenant's interest in such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements.
In the event of Landlord's election to succeed to Tenant's interest in any such
subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements, Tenant shall, as of the date
of notice by Landlord of such election, have no further right to or interest in
the rent or other consideration receivable thereunder.
12.4 Form of Payment After Default. Following the occurrence of an,
event of default by Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to require that any or
all subsequent amounts paid by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, whether to cure the
default in question or otherwise, be paid in the form of cash, money order,
cashier's or certified check drawn on an institution acceptable to Landlord, or
by other means approved by Landlord, notwithstanding any prior practice of
accepting payments in any different form.
12.5 Efforts to Relet. For the purposes of this Article 12, Tenant's
right to possession shall not be deemed to have been terminated by efforts of
Landlord to relet the Premises, by its acts of maintenance or preservation with
respect to the Premises, or by appointment of a receiver to protect Landlord's
interests hereunder. The foregoing enumeration is not exhaustive, but merely
illustrative of acts which may be performed by Landlord without terminating
Tenant's right to possession.
ARTICLE 13
CONDEMNATION
13.1 Permanent Taking. If the whole or any part of the Premises,
Building or Project shall be taken by power of eminent domain or condemned by
any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or if any
adjacent property or street shall be so taken
-28-
or condemned, or reconfigured or vacated by such authority in such manner as to
require the use, reconstruction or remodeling of any part of the Premises,
Building or Project, or if Landlord shall grant a deed or other instrument in
lieu of such taking by eminent domain or condemnation, Landlord shall have the
option to terminate this Lease upon ninety (90) days' notice, provided such
notice is given no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of
such taking, condemnation, reconfiguration, vacation, deed or other instrument.
If more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the rentable square feet of the
Premises is taken, or if access to the Premises is substantially impaired,
Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon ninety (90) days'
notice, provided such notice is given no later than one hundred eighty (180)
days after the date of such taking. Landlord shall be entitled to the entire
award or payment in connection therewith, except that Tenant shall have the
right to file any separate claim available to Tenant for any taking of Tenant's
personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant and removable by Tenant upon
expiration of the Lease Term pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and for moving
expenses, so long as such claims do not diminish the award available to
Landlord, its ground lessor with respect to the Building or Project or its
mortgagee, and such claim is payable separately to Tenant. All Rent shall be
apportioned as of the date of such termination, or the date of such taking,
whichever shall first occur. If any part of the Premises shall be taken, and
this Lease shall not be so terminated, the Rent shall be proportionately abated.
Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it might otherwise have pursuant to
Section 1265.130 of The California Code of Civil Procedure.
13.2 Temporary Taking. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Article 13, in the event of a temporary taking of all or any
portion of the Premises for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days or
less, then this Lease shall not terminate but the Base Rent and the Additional
Rent shall be abated for the period of such taking in proportion to the ratio
that the number of rentable square feet of the Premises taken bears to the total
rentable square feet of the Premises. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the
entire award made in connection with any such temporary taking.
ARTICLE 14
BROKERS
Landlord and Tenant hereby warrant to each other that they have had no
dealings with any real estate broker or agent in connection with the negotiation
of this Lease, excepting only the real estate brokers or agents specified in
Section 11 of the Summary (the "BROKERS"), and that they know of no other real
estate broker or agent who is entitled to a commission in connection with this
lease. Each party agrees to indemnify and defend the other party against and
hold the other party harmless from any and all claims, demands, losses,
liabilities, lawsuits, judgments, costs and expenses (including without
limitation reasonable attorneys' fees) with respect to any leasing commission or
equivalent compensation alleged to be owing on account of any dealings with any
real estate broker or agent, other than the Brokers, occurring by, through, or
under the indemnifying party.
-29-
ARTICLE 15
LANDLORD'S LIABILITY
It is expressly understood and agreed that notwithstanding anything in
this Lease to the contrary, and notwithstanding any applicable law to the
contrary, the liability of Landlord and the Landlord Parties hereunder
(including any successor landlord hereunder) and any recourse by Tenant against
Landlord or the Landlord Parties shall be limited solely and exclusively to an
amount which is equal to the lesser of (i) the interest of Landlord in and to
the Building, or (ii) the equity interest Landlord would have in the Building if
the Building were encumbered by third-party debt in an amount equal to eighty
percent (80%) of the value of the Building (as such value is determined by
Landlord), and neither Landlord, nor any of the Landlord Parties, shall have any
personal liability therefor, and Tenant, on behalf of itself and all persons
claiming by, through or under Tenant, hereby expressly waives and releases
Landlord and the Landlord Parties from such personal liability.
ARTICLE 16
SUBSTITUTION OF OTHER PREMISES
16.1 New Premises. At any time after the date of this Lease, Landlord
shall have the right to substitute for the premises then being leased or to be
leased hereunder (the "EXISTING PREMISES") other premises within the Project
(the "New Premises"), provided that the New Premises shall be of at least
substantially the same size and shall either have substantially the same
perimeter configuration or a perimeter configuration substantially usable for
the purposes for which the Existing Premises were being used by Tenant or, if
possession of the Existing Premises had not yet been received by Tenant, then
for the purposes for which the Existing Premises were to be used by Tenant.
16.2 Effectiveness Prior to Commencement of Construction of the
Premises. If Tenant shall not have received possession of the Existing Premises
and no construction has been commenced thereon, then, as of the date Landlord
gives notice of a substitution, such substitution shall be effective, the New
Premises shall be the Premises hereunder and the Existing Premises shall cease
to be the Premises hereunder.
16.3 Effectiveness After Commencement of Construction of the Premises.
If construction of the Premises shall have already begun or if Tenant shall have
already received possession of the Existing Premises as of the date Landlord
gives notice of the substitution, the following provisions of this Section 16.3
shall apply. In the case where Tenant already has possession of the Existing
Premises, Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Existing Premises on or before
the date (the "VACATION DATE") which occurs on the later of (i) the thirtieth
(30th) day after the date that Landlord shall notify Tenant of Landlord's intent
to make the substitution in question, or (ii) the fifteenth (15th) day after
Landlord shall have substantially completed the work to be done by Landlord in
the New Premises pursuant to this Section 16.3. Such substitution of the New
Premises for the Existing Premises shall be effective as of the sooner of the
Vacation Date or the date Tenant surrenders and vacates the Existing Premises.
In the case where the Existing Premises are under construction, Tenant shall
immediately surrender the
-30-
Existing Premises, the New Premises shall be the Premises for purposes of this
Lease, and the Existing Premises shall cease to be the Premises for purposes of
this Lease. In either case, (A) Landlord shall pay the actual and reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses of Tenant's moving of its property, if any, from the
Existing Premises to the New Premises, provided that Landlord may elect to
either move Tenant's property or provide personnel to do so under Tenant's
direction, (B) Landlord shall improve the New Premises so that they are
substantially similar to the Existing Premises as of the time of the notice of
substitution (and in the case of the Existing Premises being under construction,
the remaining construction necessary to the completion of the New Premises shall
be performed pursuant to the terms of the Tenant Work Letter), and (C) Landlord
shall promptly reimburse Tenant for Tenant's actual and reasonable out-of-pocket
costs relating to the relocation of any telephone or other communications
equipment, if any, from the Existing Premises to the New Premises and relating
to stationery reprinting costs necessary to reflect the address of the New
Premises.
16.4 General Provisions. Tenant shall not be entitled to any
compensation for any inconvenience or interference with Tenant's business, nor
to any abatement or reduction in Rent, nor shall Tenant's obligations under this
Lease be otherwise affected, as a result of the substitution, except as
otherwise provided in this Article 16. Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord
so as to facilitate the prompt completion by Landlord of its obligations under
this Article 16. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence,
Tenant agrees to promptly provide Landlord with such documentation, approvals,
instructions, plans, specifications or other information as may be reasonably
requested by Landlord in connection with this Article 16, and to promptly
execute any operative documents to evidence Landlord's actions under this
Article 16. Upon delivery of the New Premises to Tenant as set forth herein,
Tenant shall execute, within five (5) days of delivery to Tenant by Landlord, an
amendment amending all amounts, percentages and figures appearing or referred to
in this Lease (including, without limitation, the amount of the Rent and any
Security Deposit), to reflect the substitution of the New Premises for the
Existing Premises.
ARTICLE 17
WARNER CENTER ASSOCIATION
It is understood that at the time of the execution of this Lease an
association has been formed, the purpose of which is to identify and promote the
best interest of the employers and employees of Warner Center. Tenant shall,
throughout the Lease Term, at its sole cost and expense, cooperate with and
promote the programs of such association as they may from time to time exist so
long as the policies of such association shall be non-discriminatory with
respect to Tenant and with respect to any membership fee.
ARTICLE 18
TENANT PARKING
Tenant shall lease, commencing on the Lease Commencement Date, the
number of parking passes set forth in Section 9 of the Summary, throughout the
Lease Term, which parking passes shall pertain to that portion or structure of
the Project parking facility designated for
-31-
Tenant's parking by Landlord. Tenant shall pay to Landlord or, at Landlord's
option, "Landlord's Designee" (as that term is defined in this Article 18
below), for such automobile parking passes, on a monthly basis, the prevailing
rate charged from time to time for parking passes in the parking facility or
facilities. In addition, Tenant shall be responsible for any taxes imposed by
any governmental authority in connection with the renting of such parking passes
by Tenant or the use of the parking facility by Tenant. Tenant's continued right
to use the parking passes is conditioned upon Tenant abiding by all Rules and
Regulations which are prescribed from time to time for the orderly operation and
use of the parking facility or facilities and upon Tenant's cooperation in
seeing that Tenant's employees and visitors also comply with such Rules and
Regulations. Landlord specifically reserves the right, at any time, to (i)
change the size, configuration, design, layout and all other aspects of the
parking facility or facilities, and/or (ii) perform repairs to the parking
facility or facilities, and Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord may,
without incurring any liability to Tenant and without any abatement of Rent
under this Lease, from time to time, close-off or restrict access to the parking
facility or facilities for purposes of permitting or facilitating any such
construction, alteration, improvements or repairs. Landlord may lease the
parking areas, enter into a license agreement or otherwise delegate its
responsibilities under this Article 18 to a parking operator ("LANDLORD'S
DESIGNEE") in which case Landlord's Designee shall have all the rights
attributed under this Article 18 to the Landlord. The parking passes leased by
Tenant pursuant to this Article 18 are provided to Tenant solely for use by
Tenant's own personnel and such passes may not be transferred, assigned,
subleased or otherwise alienated by Tenant without Landlord's prior approval.
ARTICLE 19
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
19.1 Estoppel Certificates. Within ten (10) business days following a
request in writing by Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord an
estoppel certificate, which, as submitted by Landlord, shall be substantially in
the form of Exhibit F, attached hereto (or such other form as may be required by
any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of the Project, or any portion thereof),
indicating therein any exceptions thereto that may exist at that time, and shall
also contain any other information reasonably requested by Landlord or
Landlord's mortgagee or prospective mortgagee. Tenant shall execute and deliver
whatever other instruments may be reasonably required for such purposes. Failure
of Tenant to timely execute and deliver such estoppel certificate or other
instruments shall constitute an acceptance of the Premises and an acknowledgment
by Tenant that statements included in the estoppel certificate are true and
correct, without exception.
19.2 Partial Invalidity. If any term, provision or condition contained
in this Lease shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder
of this Lease, or the application of such term, provision or condition to
persons or circumstances other than those with respect to which it is invalid or
unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each and every other term,
provision and condition of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the
fullest extent possible permitted by law.
19.3 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Lease and each of
its provisions.
-32-
19.4 Captions. The captions of Articles and Sections are for convenience
only and shall not be deemed to limit, construe, affect or alter the meaning of
such Articles and Sections.
19.5 Notices. All notices, demands, statements, designations, approvals
or other communications (collectively, "NOTICES") given or required to be given
by either party to the other hereunder shall be in writing, shall be sent by
United States certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt
requested, or delivered personally (i) to Tenant at the appropriate address set
forth in Section 10 of the Summary, or to such other place as Tenant may from
time to time designate in a Notice to Landlord; or (ii) to Landlord at the

Attn: Property Manager
With a copy to:
Allen, Matkins, Xxxx, Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP
000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx
Xxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000
Attn: Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx, Esq.
Any Notice will be deemed given on the date it is mailed as provided in this
Section 19.5 or upon the date personal delivery is made. If Tenant is notified
of the identity and address of the holder of any deed of trust or ground or
underlying lessor, Tenant shall give to such mortgagee or ground or underlying
lessor written notice of any default by Landlord under the terms of this Lease
by registered or certified mail, and such mortgagee or ground or underlying
lessor shall be given a reasonable opportunity to cure such default prior to
Tenant's exercising any remedy available to Tenant.
19.6 Nonwaiver. No waiver of any provision of this Lease shall be
implied by any failure of Landlord to enforce any remedy on account of the
violation of such provision and even if such violation shall continue or be
repeated subsequently, any waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease may
only be in writing. Additionally, no express waiver shall affect any provision
other than the one specified in such waiver and then only for the time and in
the manner specifically stated. No receipt of monies by Landlord from Tenant
after the termination of this Lease shall in any way alter the length of the
Lease Term or of Tenant's right of possession hereunder, or after the giving of
any notice shall reinstate, continue or extend the Lease Term or affect any
notice given Tenant prior to the receipt of such monies, it being agreed that
after the service of notice or the commencement of a suit, or after
final judgment for possession of the Premises, Landlord may receive and collect
any Rent due, and the payment of said Rent shall not waive or affect said
notice, suit or judgment.
-33-
19.7 Holding Over. If Tenant holds over after the expiration of the
Lease Term hereof, with or without the express or implied consent of Landlord,
such tenancy shall be from month-to-month only, and shall not constitute a
renewal hereof or an extension for any further term, and in such case Base Rent
shall be payable at a monthly rate equal to the product of (i) the Base Rent
applicable during the last rental period of the Lease Term under this Lease, and
(ii) a percentage equal to the sum of (A) 150% and (B) the percentage by which
Base Rent was increased at the time of the last increase of Base Rent during the
Lease Term. Such month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other
applicable term, covenant and agreement contained herein. Nothing contained in
this Section 19.7 shall be construed as consent by Landlord to any holding over
by Tenant, and Landlord expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to
surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord as provided in this Lease upon
the expiration or other termination of this Lease. The provisions of this
Section 19.7 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other
rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein or at law. If Tenant fails to
surrender the Premises upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, in
addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall
protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, costs
(including reasonable attorneys' fees) and liability resulting from such
failure, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claims
made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to surrender and any
lost profits to Landlord resulting therefrom.
19.8 Waiver of Default. No waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any violation
or breach of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained shall
be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any other or later violation or
breach of the same or any other of the terms, provisions, and covenants herein
contained. Forbearance by Landlord in enforcement of one or more of the remedies
herein provided upon an event of default shall not be deemed or construed to
constitute a waiver of such default. The acceptance of any Rent hereunder by
Landlord following the occurrence of any default, whether or not known to
Landlord, shall not be deemed a waiver of any such default, except only a
default in the payment of the Rent so accepted.
19.9 Binding Effect. Subject to all other provisions of this Lease, each
of the provisions of this Lease shall extend to and shall, as the case may
require, bird or inure to the benefit not only of Landlord and of Tenant, but
also of their respective successors or assigns, provided this clause shall not
permit any assignment by Tenant contrary to the provisions of Article 11 of this
Lease.
19.10 Governing. Law. This Lease shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of California.
19.11 Subordination. This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to all
present and future ground or underlying leases of the Building or Project and to
the lien of any mortgage or trust deed, now or hereafter in force against the
Building or Project, if any, and to all renewals, extensions, modifications,
consolidations and replacements thereof, and to all advances made or hereafter
to be made upon the security of such mortgages or trust deeds, unless the
holders of such mortgages or trust deeds, or the lessors under such ground lease
or underlying leases, require in writing that this Lease be superior thereto.
Tenant covenants and agrees in the event any proceedings are brought for the
foreclosure of any such mortgage or deed in lieu thereof, to
-34-
attorn, without any deductions or set-offs whatsoever, to the purchaser or any
successors thereto upon any such foreclosure sale or deed in lieu thereof if so
requested to do so by such purchaser, and to recognize such purchaser as the
lessor under this Lease. Tenant shall, within five (5) days of request by
Landlord, execute such further instruments or assurances as Landlord may
reasonably deem necessary to evidence or confirm the subordination or
superiority of this Lease to any such mortgages, trust deeds, ground leases or
underlying leases. Tenant hereby irrevocably authorizes Landlord to execute and
deliver in the name of Tenant any such instrument or instruments if Tenant fails
to do so, provided that such authorization shall in no way relieve Tenant from
the obligation of executing such instruments of subordination or superiority.
Tenant waives the provisions of any current or future statute, rule or law which
may give or purport to give Tenant any right or election to terminate or
otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of the Tenant
hereunder in the event of any foreclosure proceeding or sale. Within ten (10)
days following a request in writing by Landlord, Tenant shall execute and
deliver to Landlord a Subordination of Deed of Trust Agreement in the form of
Exhibit G attached hereto and made a part hereof.
19.12 Waiver of Jury Trial; Attorneys' Fees. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES
ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION TO ENFORCE THE SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE
OF THIS LEASE, FOR DAMAGES FOR THE BREACH HEREOF, OR OTHERWISE FOR ENFORCEMENT
OF ANY REMEDY HEREUNDER. If either party commences litigation against the other
for the specific performance of this Lease, for damages for the breach hereof or
otherwise for enforcement of any remedy hereunder, the prevailing party shall be
entitled to recover from the other party such costs and reasonable attorneys'
fees as may have been incurred, including any and all costs incurred in
enforcing, perfecting and executing such judgment.
19.13 Entry by Landlord. Landlord reserves the right at all reasonable
times and upon reasonable notice to Tenant (except in the case of an emergency)
to enter the Premises to (i) inspect them; (ii) show the Premises to prospective
purchasers, mortgagees or tenants, or to the ground or underlying lessors; (iii)
post notices of nonresponsibility; or (iv) alter, improve or repair the Premises
or the Building if necessary to comply with current building codes or other
applicable laws, or for structural alterations, repairs or improvements to the
Building. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
19.13, Landlord may enter the Premises at any time to (A) perform services
required of Landlord; (B) take possession due to any breach of this Lease in the
manner provided herein; and (C) perform any covenants of Tenant which Tenant
fails to perform. Landlord may make any such entries without the abatement of
Rent and may take such reasonable steps as required to accomplish the stated
purposes. Tenant hereby waives any claims for damages or for any injuries or
inconvenience to or interference with Tenant's business, lost profits, any loss
of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any other loss occasioned
thereby. For each of the above purposes, Landlord shall at all times have a key
with which to unlock all the doors in the Premises, excluding Tenant's vaults,
safes and special security areas designated in advance by Tenant. In an
emergency, Landlord shall have the right to use any means that Landlord may deem
proper to open the doors in and to the Premises. Any entry into the Premises by
Landlord in the manner herein before described shall not be deemed to be a
forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an actual or
constructive eviction of Tenant from any portion of the Premises.
-35-
19.14 Authority. If Tenant is a corporation, partnership or limited
liability company, each individual executing this Lease on behalf of said entity
represents and warrants that he or she is duly authorized to execute and deliver
this Lease on behalf of said entity in accordance with: (i) if Tenant is a
corporation, a duly adopted resolution of the Board of Directors of said
corporation or in accordance with the by-laws of said corporation, (ii) if
Tenant is a partnership, the terms of the partnership agreement, and (iii) if
Tenant is a limited liability company, the terms of its operating agreement, and
that this Lease is binding upon said entity in accordance with its terms.
Concurrently with Tenant's execution of this Lease, Tenant shall provide to
Landlord a copy of (a) if Tenant is a corporation, a resolution of the Board of
Directors authorizing the execution of this Lease on behalf of such corporation,
which copy of resolution shall be duly certified by the secretary or an
assistant secretary of the corporation to be a true copy of a resolution duly
adopted by the Board of Directors of said corporation and shall be in the form
of Exhibit "H" or in some other form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (b) if
Tenant is a partnership, a copy of the provisions of the partnership agreement
granting the requisite authority to each individual executing this Lease on
behalf of said partnership, and (c) if Tenant is a limited liability company, a
copy of the provisions of its operating agreement granting the requisite
authority to each individual executing this Lease on behalf of said limited
liability company. In the event Tenant fails to comply with the requirements set
forth in this Section 19.14, then each individual executing this Lease shall be
personally liable for all of Tenant's obligations in this Lease.
19.15 Surrender of Premises; Ownership and Removal of Trade Fixtures.
19.15.1 Surrender of Premises. No act or thing done by Landlord
or any agent or employee of Landlord during the Lease Term shall be deemed to
constitute an acceptance by Landlord of a surrender of the Premises unless such
intent is specifically acknowledged in writing by Landlord. The delivery of keys
to the Premises to Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord shall not
constitute a surrender of the Premises or effect a termination of this Lease,
whether or not the keys are thereafter retained by Landlord, and notwithstanding
such delivery Tenant shall be entitled to the return of such keys at any
reasonable time upon request until this Lease shall have been properly
terminated. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, whether
accepted by Landlord or not, or a mutual termination hereof, shall not work a
merger, and at the option of Landlord shall operate as an assignment to Landlord
of all subleases or subtenancies affecting the Premises.
19.15.2 Removal of Tenant Property by Tenant. Upon the expiration
of the Lease Term, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall,
subject to the provisions of this Section 19.15, quit and surrender possession
of the Premises to Landlord in as good order and condition as when Tenant took
possession and as thereafter improved by Landlord and/or Tenant, reasonable wear
and tear and repairs which are specifically made the responsibility of Landlord
hereunder excepted. Upon such expiration or termination, Tenant shall, without
expense to Landlord, remove or cause to be removed from the Premises (i) all
debris and rubbish, and such items of furniture, equipment, free-standing
cabinet work, telephone and data cabling and other articles of personal property
owned by Tenant or installed or placed by Tenant at its expense in the Premises,
and any similar articles of any other persons claiming under Tenant, and (ii)
those cables and wires in the Premises as Landlord may, in its sole
-36-
discretion, require to be removed. Tenant shall repair at its own expense all
damage to the Premises and Building resulting from removal of the items
described in this Section 19.15.2.
19.16 Entire Agreement. It is understood and acknowledged that there are
no oral agreements between the parties hereto affecting this Lease and this
Lease supersedes and cancels any and all previous negotiations, arrangements,
brochures, agreements and understandings, if any, between the parties hereto or
displayed by Landlord to Tenant with respect to the subject matter thereof, and
none thereof shall be used to interpret or construe this Lease. This Lease, the
exhibits and schedules attached hereto, and any side letter or separate
agreement executed by Landlord and Tenant in connection with this Lease and
dated of even date herewith, contain all of the terms, covenants, conditions,
warranties and agreements of the parties relating in any manner to the rental,
use and occupancy of the Premises and shall be considered to be the only
agreement between the parties hereto and their representatives and agents. None
of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease can be modified,
deleted or added to except in writing signed by the parties hereto. All
negotiations and oral agreements acceptable to both parties have been merged
into and are included herein. There are no other representations or warranties
between the parties, and all reliance with respect to representations is based
totally upon the representations and agreements contained in this Lease.
19.17 Signs.
19.17.1 Full Floors. Subject to Landlord's prior written
approval, in its sole discretion, and provided all signs are in keeping with the
quality, design and style of the Building and Project, Tenant, for any portion
of the Premises which comprises an entire floor of the Building, at its sole
cost and expense, may install identification signage anywhere in such full floor
portion of the Premises including in the elevator lobby of such full floor
portion of the Premises, provided that such signs must not be visible from the
exterior of the Building. Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant's sole cost and
expense, for maintenance and repair of any such signs. In addition, Tenant shall
cause such signs to be removed from the Premises and shall repair all damage to
the Premises and the Building resulting from such removal, at Tenant's sole cost
and expense, prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
19.17.2 Multi-Tenant Floors. If other tenants occupy space on the
floor on which the Premises is located, Tenant's identifying signage shall be
provided by Landlord, at Tenant's cost, and such signage shall be comparable to
that used by Landlord for other similar floors in the Building and shall comply
with Landlord's Building standard signage program.
19.17.3 Prohibited Signage and Other Items. Any signs, notices,
logos, pictures, names or advertisements which are installed and that have not
been separately approved by Landlord may be removed without notice by Landlord
at the sole expense of Tenant. Tenant may not install any signs on the exterior
or roof of the Project or the Common Areas. Any signs, window coverings, or
blinds (even if the same are located behind the Landlord-approved window
coverings for the Building), or other items visible from the exterior of the
Premises or Building, shall be subject to the prior written approval of
landlord, in its sole discretion.
19.18 Covenant Against Liens. Tenant has no authority or power to cause
or permit any lien or encumbrance of any kind whatsoever, whether created by act
of Tenant,
-37-
operation of law or otherwise, to attach to or be placed upon the Project or
Premises, and any and all liens and encumbrances created by Tenant shall attach
to Tenant's interest only. Landlord shall have the right at all times to post
and keep posted on the Premises any notice which it deems necessary for
protection from such liens. Tenant covenants and agrees not to suffer or permit
any lien of mechanics or materialmen or others to be placed against the Project,
the Building or the Premises, or any portion thereof, with respect to work or
services claimed to have been performed for or materials claimed to have been
furnished to Tenant or the Premises, and, in case of any such lien attaching or
notice of any lien, Tenant covenants and agrees to cause it to be immediately
released and removed of record. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth in this Lease, in the event that such lien is not released and removed on
or before the date occurring five (S) days after notice of such lien is
delivered by Landlord to Tenant, Landlord, at its sole option, may immediately
take all action necessary to release and remove such lien, without any duty to
investigate the validity thereof, and all sums, costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, incurred by Landlord in connection with
such lien shall be deemed Additional Rent under this Lease and shall immediately
be due and payable by Tenant.
19.19 Terms. The necessary grammatical changes required to make the
provisions hereof apply either to corporations or partnerships or individuals,
men or women, as the case may require, shall in all cases be assumed as though
in each case fully expressed.
19.20 Prohibition Against Recording. Except as provided in Section 19.32
of this Lease, neither this Lease, nor any memorandum, affidavit or other
writing with respect thereto, shall be recorded by Tenant or by anyone acting
through, under or on behalf of Tenant, and the recording thereof in violation of
this provision shall make this Lease null and void at Landlord's election.
19.21 Confidentiality. Tenant acknowledges that the content of this
Lease and any related documents are confidential information. Tenant shall keep
such confidential information strictly confidential and shall not disclose such
confidential information to any person or entity other than Tenant's financial,
legal, and space planning consultants.
19.22 Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord covenants that Tenant, on paying the
Rent, charges for services and other payments herein reserved and on keeping,
observing and performing all the other terms, covenants, conditions, provisions
and agreements herein contained on the part of Tenant to be kept, observed and
performed, shall, during the Lease Term, peaceably and quietly have, hold and
enjoy the Premises subject to the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and
agreements hereof without interference by any persons lawfully claiming by or
through Landlord. The foregoing covenant is in lieu of any other covenant
express or implied.
19.23 Improvement of the Premises. Except as specifically set forth in
this Lease and in the Tenant Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit C, Landlord
shall not be obligated to provide or pay for any improvement work or services
related to the improvement of the Premises. Tenant also acknowledges that
Landlord has made no representation or warranty regarding the condition of the
Premises or the Project except as specifically set forth in this Lease and the
Tenant Work Letter.
-38-
19.24 Force Majeure. Any prevention, delay or stoppage due to strikes,
lockouts, labor disputes, acts of God, inability to obtain services, labor, or
materials or reasonable substitutes therefor, governmental action(s) or
inaction(s), civil commotions, fire or other casualty, and other causes beyond
the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform, except with respect to
the obligations imposed with regard to Rent and other charges to be paid by
Tenant pursuant to this Lease (collectively, a "FORCE MAJEURE"), notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, shall excuse the performance
of such party for a period equal to any such prevention, delay or stoppage and,
therefore, if this Lease specifies a time period for performance of an
obligation of either party, that time period shall be extended by the period of
any delay in such party's performance caused by a Force Majeure.
19.25 Verification of Rentable Square Feet of Premises, Building, and
Project. The rentable square feet of the Premises, the Building, and the Project
are subject to verification from time to time by Landlord's floor area
consultant and such verification shall be made in accordance with the provisions
of this Section 19.25. For purposes of this Lease, "rentable square feet" shall
mean rentable area calculated pursuant to Standard Method for Measuring Floor
Area in Office Buildings, ANSI Z65.1 - 1996 ("BOMA"), provided that the rentable
square footage of the Building and the Project shall include all of (and the
rentable square footage of the Premises therefore shall include a portion of)
(i) the Building Common Areas, and (ii) an equitable portion of space of the
Project dedicated to the service of the Project. Tenant's architect may consult
with Landlord's floor area consultant regarding such verification as it pertains
to the Premises; however, the determination of Landlord's floor area consultant
shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties. In the event that Landlord's
floor area consultant determines that the amounts thereof shall be different
from those set forth in this Lease, all amounts, percentages and figures
appearing or referred to in this Lease based upon such incorrect amount
(including, without limitation, the amount of the "Rent" and any "Security
Deposit," as those terms are defined in Article 3 and Article 4 of this Lease,
respectively) shall be modified in accordance with such determination. If such
determination is made, it will be confirmed in writing by Landlord to Tenant.
19.26 Transportation Management. Tenant shall fully comply with all
present or future programs intended to manage parking, transportation or traffic
in and around the Project or Building, and in connection therewith, Tenant shall
take responsible action for the transportation planning and management of all
employees located at the Premises by working directly with Landlord, any
governmental transportation management organization or any other
transportation-related committees or entities. Such programs may include,
without limitation: (i) restrictions on the number of peak-hour vehicle trips
generated by Tenant; (ii) increased vehicle occupancy; (iii) implementation of
an in-house ridesharing program and an employee transportation coordinator; (iv)
working with employees and any Project, Building or area-wide ridesharing
program manager; (v) instituting employer-sponsored incentives (financial or
inkind) to encourage employees to rideshare; and (vi) utilizing flexible work
shifts for employees.
19.27 Compliance With Law. Tenant shall not do anything or suffer
anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way conflict with
any law, statute, ordinance or other governmental rule, regulation or
requirement now in force or which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated
("LAWS"). Landlord shall be responsible, as part of Operating Expenses to the
extent permitted under Article 3, for making all alterations to the following
portions of the
-39-
Premises and Project required by Laws: (i) structural portions of the Premises
but not including Tenant Improvements or any Alterations installed by or at the
request of Tenant, and (ii) those portions of the Building and Project located
outside the Premises; provided, however, Landlord shall not be obligated to make
alterations to any such portions of the Premises and Project described in clause
(i) or (ii) above to the extent such alterations are necessary due to the
installation of Alterations to the Premises by or at the request of Tenant and
Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, be responsible therefor. Except for
Landlord's obligations described in the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant
shall, at its sole cost and expense, be responsible for compliance with all Laws
affecting the Premises, including the making of all required alterations
thereto. Should any standard or regulation now or hereafter be imposed on
Landlord or Tenant by a state, federal or local governmental body charged with
the establishment, regulation and enforcement of occupational, health or safety
standards for employers, employees, landlords or tenants, then Tenant agrees, at
its sole cost and expense, to comply promptly with such standards or
regulations. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the
admission of Tenant in any judicial action, regardless of whether Landlord is a
party thereto, that Tenant has violated any of said governmental measures, shall
be conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant.
19.28 Late Charges. If any installment of Rent or any other sum due from
Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord's designee within ten (10)
days after said amount is due, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge
equal to five percent (5%) of the overdue amount. In addition, if such
installment of Rent or other sum due from Tenant shall still not be received by
Landlord or Landlord's designee within the first three (3) days of the following
calendar month(s), then Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional late charge
equal to five percent (5%) of the overdue amount for each such month. Tenant
shall also be responsible for any attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord by reason
of Tenant's failure to pay Rent and/or other charges when due hereunder. The
late charge shall be deemed Additional Rent and the right to require it shall be
in addition to all of Landlord's other rights and remedies hereunder or at law
and shall not be construed as liquidated damages or as limiting Landlord's
remedies in any manner. Tenant hereby agrees that if Tenant is subject to a late
charge for two (2) consecutive months, Rent for the following twelve (12) months
shall automatically be adjusted to be payable quarterly, in advance, by
cashier's check only, commencing upon the first day of the month following such
consecutive late month and continuing for the next twelve (12) months on a
quarterly basis in advance. In addition to the late charge described above, any
Rent or other amounts owing hereunder which are not paid within ten (10) days
after the date they are due shall bear interest from the date when due until
paid at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the rate per annum announced
from time to time by Citibank N.A. as its prime rate (or, if such bank fails to
announce such a rate, then the prime rate announced by the largest state
chartered bank operating in the State of California) plus four (4) percentage
points (the "INTEREST RATE"), and (ii) the highest rate permitted by applicable
law.
19.29 Hazardous Material. As used herein, the term "HAZARDOUS MATERIAL"
means any hazardous or toxic substance, material or waste which is or becomes
regulated by, or is dealt with in, any local governmental authority, the State
of California or the United States Government. Accordingly, the term "Hazardous
Material" includes, without limitation, any material or substance which is (i)
defined as a "hazardous waste," "extremely hazardous waste" or "restricted
hazardous waste" under Sections 25115, 25117 or 25122.7, or listed pursuant to
-40-
Section 25140 of the California Health and Safety Code, Division 20, Chapter 6.5
(Hazardous Waste Control Law), (ii) defined as a "hazardous substance" under
Section 25316 of the California Health and Safety Code, Division 20, Chapter
6.95 (Hazardous Materials Release Response Plans and Inventory), (iii) defined
as a "hazardous substance" under Section 25281 of the California Health and
Safety Code, Division 20, Chapter 6.7 (Underground Storage of Hazardous
Substances), (iv) petroleum, (v) asbestos, (vi) listed under Article 9 or
defined as hazardous or extremely hazardous pursuant to Article 11 of Title 22
of the California Administrative Code, Division 4, Chapter 20, (vii) designated
as a "hazardous substance" pursuant to Section 311 of the Federal Water
Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. 1317), (viii) defined as a "hazardous waste"
pursuant to Section 1004 of the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act,
42 U.S.C. Section 6902 et seq. (42 U.S.C. Section 6903), or (ix) defined as a
"hazardous substance" pursuant to Section 101 of the Compensation and Liability
Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et seq. (42 U.S.C. Section 9601). Tenant shall not
(either with or without negligence) cause or permit the escape, disposal or
release of any Hazardous Materials. Tenant shall not allow the storage or use of
Hazardous Materials in any manner not sanctioned by law or by the highest
standards prevailing in the industry for the storage or use of such substances
or materials, nor allow to be brought into the Project any such materials or
substances, except that Tenant may maintain products in the Premises which are
incidental to the operation of its offices, such as photocopy supplies,
secretarial supplies and limited janitorial supplies which products contain
chemicals which are categorized as Hazardous Materials, provided that the use of
such products in the Premises by Tenant shall be in compliance with applicable
laws and shall be in the manner in which such products are designed to be used
and provided further that Tenant must provide prior written notice to Landlord
of the identity of such substances or materials. If any lender or governmental
agency shall ever require testing to ascertain whether or not there has been any
release of Hazardous Materials, then the reasonable cost thereof shall be
reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord upon demand as Additional Rent if such
requirement applies to the Premises. In addition, Tenant shall execute
affidavits, representations and the like from time to time at Landlord's request
concerning Tenant's best knowledge and belief regarding the presence of
Hazardous Materials on the Premises. In all events, Tenant shall indemnify
Landlord in the manner provided in Section 7.1 above from any release of
Hazardous Materials on the Premises occurring while Tenant is in possession, or
elsewhere if caused by Tenant or persons acting under Tenant. The covenants of
this Section 19.29 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the
Lease Term.
19.30 Landlord's Right to Cure Default; Payments by Tenant.
19.30.1 Landlord's Cure. All covenants and agreements to be kept
or performed by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant's
sole cost and expense and without any reduction of Rent. If Tenant shall fail to
perform any of its obligations under this Lease within a reasonable time after
such performance is required by the terms of this Lease, Landlord may, but shall
not be obligated to, after reasonable prior notice to Tenant (except in the case
of an emergency), make any such payment or perform any such act on Tenant's part
without waiving its rights based upon any default of Tenant and without
releasing Tenant from any obligations hereunder.
19.30.2 Tenant's Reimbursement. Except as may be specifically
provided to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within
fifteen (15) days after
-41-
delivery by Landlord to Tenant of statements therefor: (i) sums equal to
expenditures reasonably made and obligations incurred by Landlord in connection
with the remedying by Landlord of Tenant's defaults pursuant to the provisions
of Section 19.30.1; (ii) sums equal to all losses, costs, liabilities, damages
and expenses referred to in Article 7 of this Lease; and (iii) sums equal to all
expenditures made and obligations incurred by Landlord in collecting or
attempting to collect the Rent or in enforcing or attempting to enforce any
rights of Landlord under this Lease or pursuant to law, including, without
limitation, all legal fees and other amounts so expended. Tenant's obligations
under this Section 19.30 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of
the Lease Term.
19.31 No Air Rights. No rights to any view or to light or air over any
property, whether belonging to Landlord or any other person, are granted to
Tenant by this Lease. If at any time any windows of the Premises are temporarily
darkened or the light or view therefrom is obstructed by reason of any repairs,
improvements, maintenance or cleaning in or about the Project, the same shall be
without liability to Landlord and without any reduction or diminution of
Tenant's obligations under this Lease.
19.32 Modification of Lease. Should any current or prospective mortgagee
or ground lessor for the Building or Project require a modification or
modifications of this Lease, which modification or modifications will not cause
an increased cost or expense to Tenant or in any other way materially and
adversely change the rights and obligations of Tenant hereunder, then and in
such event, Tenant agrees that this Lease may be so modified and agrees to
execute whatever documents are reasonably required therefor and to deliver the
same to Landlord within ten (10) days following a request therefor. Should
Landlord or any such prospective mortgagee or ground lessor require execution of
a short form of Lease for recording, containing, among other customary
provisions, the names of the parties, a description of the Premises and the
Lease Term, Tenant agrees to execute such short form of Lease and deliver the
same to Landlord within ten (10) days following the request therefor.
19.33 Transfer of Landlord's Interest. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord
has the right to transfer all or any portion of its interest in the Project or
Building and in this Lease, and Tenant agrees that in the event of any such
transfer, Landlord shall automatically be released from all liability under this
Lease and Tenant agrees to look solely to such transferee for the performance of
Landlord's obligations hereunder after the date of transfer. Tenant further
acknowledges that Landlord may assign its interest in this Lease to the holder
of any mortgage or deed of trust as additional security, but agrees that an
assignment shall not release Landlord from its obligations hereunder and Tenant
shall continue to look to Landlord for the performance of its obligations
hereunder.
19.34 Landlord's Title. Landlord's title is and always shall be
paramount to the title of Tenant. Nothing herein contained shall empower Tenant
to do any act which can, shall or may encumber the title of Landlord.
19.35 Relationship of Parties. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be
deemed or construed by the parties hereto or by any third party to create the
relationship of principal and agent, partnership, joint venturer or any
association between Landlord and Tenant, it being expressly understood and
agreed that neither the method of computation of Rent nor any act of
-42-
the parties hereto shall be deemed to create any relationship between Landlord
and Tenant other than the relationship of landlord and tenant.
19.36 Application of Payments. Landlord shall have the right to apply
payments received from Tenant pursuant to this Lease, regardless of Tenant's
designation of such payments, to satisfy any obligations of Tenant hereunder, in
such order and amounts as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may elect.
19.37 No Warranty. In executing and delivering this Lease, Tenant has
not relied on any representations, including, but not limited to, any
representation as to the amount of any item comprising Additional Rent or the
amount of the Additional Rent in the aggregate or that Landlord is furnishing
the same services to other tenants, at all, on the same level or on the same
basis, or any warranty or any statement of Landlord which is not set forth
herein or in one or more of the exhibits attached hereto.
19.38 Right to Lease. Landlord reserves the absolute right to effect
such other tenancies in the Project as Landlord in the exercise of its sole
business judgment shall determine to best promote the interests of the Building
or Project. Tenant does not rely on the fact, nor does Landlord represent, that
any specific tenant or type or number of tenants shall, during the Lease Term,
occupy any space in the Building or Project.
19.39 Submission of Lease. Submission of this instrument for examination
or signature by Tenant does not constitute a reservation of or an option for
lease, and it is not effective as a lease or otherwise until execution and
delivery by both Landlord and Tenant.
19.40 Independent Covenants. This Lease shall be construed as though the
covenants herein between Landlord and Tenant are independent and not dependent
and Tenant hereby expressly waives the benefit of any statute to the contrary
and agrees that if Landlord fails to perform its obligations set forth herein,
Tenant shall not be entitled to make any repairs or perform any acts hereunder
at Landlord's expense or to any setoff of the Rent or other amounts owing
hereunder against Landlord; provided, however, that the foregoing shall in no
way impair the right of Tenant to commence a separate action against Landlord
for any violation by Landlord of the provisions hereof so long as notice is
first given to Landlord and any holder of a mortgage or deed of trust covering
the Building or Project or any portion thereof, whose address has theretofore
been given to Tenant, and an opportunity is granted to Landlord and such holder
to correct such violations as provided above.
19.41 Waiver of Redemption by Tenant. Tenant hereby waives, for Tenant
and for all those claiming under Tenant, any and all rights now or hereafter
existing to redeem by order or judgment of any court or by any legal process or
writ, Tenant's right of occupancy of the Premises after any termination of this
Lease.
19.42 Joint and Several. If there is more than one entity which
constitutes Tenant, the obligations imposed upon Tenant under this Lease shall
be joint and several.
19.43 Project or Building Name and Signage. Landlord shall have the
right at any time to change the name of the Project or Building and to install,
affix and maintain any and all signs on the exterior and on the interior of the
Project or Building as Landlord may, in
-43-
Landlord's sole discretion, desire. Tenant shall not use the name of the Project
or Building or use pictures or illustrations of the Project or Building in
advertising or other publicity, without the prior written consent of Landlord.
19.44 No Discrimination. Tenant covenants by and for itself, its heirs,
executors, administrators and assigns, and all persons claiming under or through
Tenant, and this Lease is made and accepted upon and subject to the following
conditions: that there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of any
person or group of persons, on account of race, color, creed, sex, religion,
marital status, ancestry or national origin in the leasing, subleasing,
transferring, use, or enjoyment of the Premises, nor shall Tenant itself, or any
person claiming under or through Tenant, establish or permit such practice or
practices of discrimination or segregation with reference to the selection,
location, number, use or occupancy, of tenants, lessees, sublessees, subtenants
or vendees in the Premises.
19.45 Landlord Renovations. It is specifically understood and agreed
that Landlord has no obligation and has made no promises to alter, remodel,
improve, renovate, repair or decorate the Premises, Building, Project or any
part thereof and that no representations respecting the condition of the
Premises, Building or Project have been made by Landlord to Tenant except as
specifically set forth herein or in the Tenant Work Letter. However, Tenant
acknowledges that Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, during
the Lease Term to renovate, improve, alter, or modify (collectively, the
"RENOVATIONS") the Building, Premises, and/or Project, including without
limitation the parking facilities, Common Areas, Systems and Equipment, roof,
and structural portions of the same. In connection with such Renovations,
Landlord may, among other things, erect scaffolding or other necessary
structures in the Building or on the Project, limit or eliminate access to
portions of the Project, including portions of the Common Areas and/or parking
facilities, or perform work in the Building, which work may create noise, dust
or leave debris in the Building. Tenant hereby agrees that such Renovations and
Landlord's actions in connection with such Renovations shall in no way
constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant nor entitle Tenant to any abatement
of Rent. Landlord shall have no responsibility or for any reason be liable to
Tenant for any direct or indirect injury to or interference with Tenant's
business arising from the Renovations, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any
compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the whole or any
part of the Premises or of Tenant's personal property or improvements resulting
from the Renovations or Landlord's actions in connection with such Renovations,
or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such Renovations or
Landlord's actions in connection with such Renovations.

TENANT WORK LETTER
This Tenant Work Letter shall set forth the terms and conditions

Tenant's failure to reasonably disapprove the Final Working Drawings or any
revisions thereto by written notice to Landlord (which notice shall specify in
detail the reasonable reasons for Tenant's disapproval) within said three (3)
business day period shall be deemed to constitute Tenant's approval of the Final
Working Drawings or such revisions.
3.4 Permits. The Final Working Drawings shall be approved or deemed
approved by Landlord and Tenant (the "APPROVED WORKING DRAWINGS") prior to the
commencement of the construction of the Tenant Improvements. Landlord shall
cause the Architect to submit the Approved Working Drawings to the appropriate
municipal authorities for all applicable building permits necessary to allow

the Premises and that the obtaining of the same shall be Tenant's
responsibility; provided however that Landlord shall, in any event, cooperate

acts reasonably necessary to enable Tenant to obtain any such permit or
certificate of occupancy. No changes, modifications or alterations in the
Approved Working Drawings may be made without the prior written consent of
Landlord, provided that Landlord may withhold its consent, in its sole
