ARTICLE 1
PREMISES, BUILDING, PROJECT, AND COMMON AREAS
1.1 PREMISES, BUILDING, PROJECT AND COMMON AREAS.
1.1.1 THE PREMISES. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant
hereby leases from Landlord the premises set forth in Section 2.2 of the Summary
(the "PREMISES"). The outline of the Premises is set forth in EXHIBIT A attached
hereto and the Premises contains the number of rentable square feet set forth in
Section 2.2 of the Summary. The parties hereto agree that the lease of the
Premises is upon and subject to the terms, covenants and conditions herein set
forth, and Tenant covenants as a material part of the consideration for this
Lease to keep and perform each and all of such terms, covenants and conditions
by it to be kept and performed and that this Lease is made upon the condition of
such performance. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that the purpose of
EXHIBIT A is to show the approximate location of the Premises in the "Building,"
as that term is defined in Section 1.1.2, below, only, and such Exhibit is not
meant to constitute an agreement, representation or warranty as to the
construction of the Premises, the precise area thereof or the specific location
of the "Common Areas," as that term is defined in Section 1.1.3, below, or the
elements thereof or of the accessways to the Premises or the "Project," as that
term is defined in Section 1.1.2, below. Except as specifically set forth in
this Lease and in the Tenant Work Letter attached hereto as EXHIBIT B (the
"TENANT WORK LETTER"), Landlord shall not be obligated to provide or pay for any
improvement work or services related to the improvement of the Premises. Subject
to the provisions of Section 1 of the Tenant Work Letter, Tenant also
acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any
representation or warranty regarding the condition of the Premises, the Building
or the Project or with respect to the suitability of any of the foregoing for
the conduct of Tenant's business, except as specifically set forth in this Lease
and the Tenant Work Letter; provided, however, that Landlord warrants and
represents that as of the Lease Commencement Date, the electrical, mechanical,
HVAC, plumbing and other systems are in good working order and the roof of the
Building is water tight. The taking of possession of the Premises by Tenant
shall conclusively establish that the Premises and the Building were at such
time in good and sanitary order, condition and repair.
1.1.2 THE BUILDING AND THE PROJECT. The Premises are a part of
the building set forth in Section 2.1 of the Summary (the "BUILDING"). The
Building is part of an office project known as "IRVINE OAKS EXECUTIVE PARK." The
term "PROJECT," as used in this Lease, shall mean (i) the Building and the
Common Areas, (ii) the land (which is improved with landscaping, parking areas
and other improvements) upon which the Building and the Common Areas are
located, and (iii) the other office buildings located within the Project and the
land upon which such adjacent office buildings are located.
1.1.3 COMMON AREAS. Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to
use in common with other tenants in the Project, and subject to the rules and
regulations referred to in Article 5 of this Lease, those portions of the
Project which are provided, from time to time, for use in common by Landlord,
Tenant and any other tenants of the Project (such areas, together with such
other
-5-
12
portions of the Project designated by Landlord, in its discretion, including
certain areas designated for the exclusive use of certain tenants, or to be
shared by Landlord and certain tenants, are collectively referred to herein as
the "COMMON AREAS"). The Common Areas shall consist of the "Project Common
Areas" and the "Building Common Areas." The term "PROJECT COMMON AREAS," as used
in this Lease, shall mean the portion of the Project designated as such by
Landlord. The term "BUILDING COMMON AREAS," as used in this Lease, shall mean
the portions of the Common Areas located within the Building designated as such
by Landlord. The manner in which the Common Areas are maintained and operated
shall be at the reasonable discretion of Landlord and the use thereof shall be
subject to such reasonable rules, regulations and restrictions as Landlord may
make from time to time. Landlord reserves the right to close temporarily, make
alterations or additions to, or change the location of elements of the Project
and the Common Areas (the "Landlord Work"); provided, however, that Landlord
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with
Tenant's business caused by the performance of such Landlord Work.
1.2 VERIFICATION OF RENTABLE SQUARE FEET OF PREMISES, BUILDING, AND
PROJECT. For purposes of this Lease, "RENTABLE SQUARE FEET" and "usable square
feet" shall be deemed to be as set forth in Section 2.2 of the Summary, and
shall not be subject to remeasurement during the Lease Term. In the event that
the rentable area of the Premises, the Building and/or the Project shall change
due to such verification, or due to subsequent alterations and/or other
modifications to the Premises, the Building and/or the Project, the rentable
area of the Premises, the Building and/or the Project, as the case may be, shall
be appropriately adjusted as of the date of such alteration and/or other
modification, based upon the written verification by Landlord's space planner of
such revised rentable area. In the event of any such adjustment to the rentable
area of the Premises, the Building and/or the Project, all amounts, percentages
and figures appearing or referred to in this Lease based upon such rentable area
(including, without limitation, the amount of the "Rent" and any "Security
Deposit," as those terms are defined in Article 4 and Article 21 of this Lease,
respectively and "Tenant's Project Share," as that term is defined in Section
4.2.10, below) shall be modified in accordance with such determination.
ARTICLE 2
INITIAL LEASE TERM; OPTION TERM
2.1 INITIAL LEASE TERM. The terms and provisions of this Lease shall be
effective as of the date of this Lease. The term of this Lease (the "LEASE
TERM") shall be as set forth in Section 3.1 of the Summary, shall commence on
the date set forth in Section 3.2 of the Summary (the "LEASE COMMENCEMENT
DATE"), and shall terminate on the date set forth in Section 3.3 of the Summary
(the "LEASE EXPIRATION DATE") unless this Lease is sooner terminated as
hereinafter provided. For purposes of this Lease, the term "LEASE YEAR" shall
mean each consecutive twelve (12) month period during the Lease Term. At any
time during the Lease Term, Landlord may deliver to Tenant a notice in the form
as set forth in EXHIBIT C, attached hereto, as a confirmation only of the
information set forth therein, which Tenant shall execute and return to Landlord
within five (5) days of receipt thereof.
-6-
13
2.2 OPTION TERM.
2.2.1 OPTION RIGHT. Landlord hereby grants to the Tenant
originally named in the Summary and any "Affiliates" (as that term is defined in
Section 14.8, below) (the Tenant and Affiliates shall be collectively referred
to herein as the "ORIGINAL TENANT") one (1) option to extend the Lease Term for
a period of three (3) years (the "OPTION TERM"), which option shall be
exercisable only by written notice delivered by Tenant to Landlord as provided
below, provided that, as of the date of delivery of such notice, Tenant is not
in default under this Lease. Upon the proper exercise of such option to extend,
and provided that, as of the end of the initial Lease Term, Tenant is not in
default under this Lease, the Lease Term, as it applies to the Premises, shall
be extended for a period of three (3) years. The rights contained in this
Section 2.2 shall be personal to the Original Tenant and may only be exercised
by the Original Tenant (and not any other assignee, sublessee or other
transferee of the Original Tenant's interest in this Lease) if the Original
Tenant occupies the entire Premises.
2.2.2 OPTION RENT. The rent payable by Tenant during the Option
Term (the "OPTION RENT") shall be equal to the annual rental rate per rentable
square foot (and the additional rent and considering any "base year" or "expense
stop" applicable thereto) at which, as of the commencement of the Option Term,
tenants are leasing non-sublease, non-encumbered, non-equity space comparable in
size, location and quality to the Premises, for a term of five (5) years, which
comparable space is located in the Project, 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, 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 a general
office user.
2.2.3 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 to Landlord not more than twelve (12) months
nor less than nine (9) 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 eight (8) 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 seven (7) 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 written notice thereof to
Landlord, and concurrently therewith, Tenant may object to the Option Rent set
forth in the Option Rent Notice, in which case the Option Rent shall be
determined as set forth in Section 2.2.4, below.
2.2.4 DETERMINATION OF OPTION RENT. In the event Tenant timely
and appropriately objects to the Option Rent, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt
to agree upon the Option Rent using their best good-faith efforts. If Landlord
and Tenant fail to reach agreement within ten (10) days following Tenant's
objection to the Option Rent, (the "OUTSIDE AGREEMENT DATE"), then each party
-7-
14
shall make a separate determination of the Option Rent, as the case may be
within five (5) days, and such determinations shall be submitted to arbitration
in accordance with Section 2.2.4.1 through 2.2.4.7, below.
2.2.4.1 Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one
arbitrator who shall by profession be a real estate broker or appraiser who
shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such
appointment in the leasing (or appraisal, as the case may be) of commercial
properties in the Irvine area. The determination of the arbitrators shall be
limited solely to the issue area of whether Landlord's or Tenant's submitted
Option Rent, is the closest to the actual Option Rent as determined by the
arbitrators, taking into account the requirements of Section 2.2.2. Each such
arbitrator shall be appointed within fifteen (15) days after the applicable
Outside Agreement Date.
2.2.4.2 The two arbitrators so appointed shall within
ten (10) days of the date of the appointment of the last appointed arbitrator
agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator who shall be qualified under the same
criteria set forth hereinabove for qualification of the initial two arbitrators.
2.2.4.3 The three arbitrators shall within thirty (30)
days of the appointment of the third arbitrator reach a decision as to whether
the parties shall use Landlord's or Tenant's submitted Option Rent, and shall
notify Landlord and Tenant thereof.
2.2.4.4 The decision of the majority of the three
arbitrators shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.
2.2.4.5 If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an
arbitrator within 15 days after the applicable Outside Agreement Date, the
arbitrator appointed by one of them shall reach a decision, notify Landlord and
Tenant thereof, and such arbitrator's decision shall be binding upon Landlord
and Tenant.
2.2.4.6 If the two arbitrators fail to agree upon and
appoint a third arbitrator, or both parties fail to appoint an arbitrator, then
the appointment of the third arbitrator or any arbitrator shall be dismissed and
the matter to be decided shall be forthwith submitted to arbitration under the
provisions of the American Arbitration Association, but subject to the
instruction set forth in this Section 2.2.4.
2.2.4.7 The cost of arbitration shall be paid by
Landlord and Tenant equally.
ARTICLE 3
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, by a check for currency which, at the time of payment, is legal

("BASE RENT") as set forth in Section 4 of the Summary, payable in equal monthly
installments as set forth in Section 4 of the Summary in advance on or before
the first day of each and every calendar month during the Lease Term, without
any setoff or deduction whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant is
excused from its obligation to pay any Base Rent attributable to the first (1st)
month of the Lease Term ("EARLY OCCUPANCY PERIOD"). Tenant shall still be
responsible for the payment of Additional Rent, as that term is defined in
Article 4 below, during such Early Occupancy Period. The Base Rent for the first
full month of the Lease Term which occurs after the expiration of the Early
Occupancy Period shall be paid at the time of Tenant's execution of this Lease
along with the Estimated Building Direct Expenses and Project Direct Expenses
for the first month of the Lease Tenn. 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.
ARTICLE 4

Article 3 of this Lease, Tenant shall pay "Tenant's Building Share" of the
annual "Building Direct Expenses," and "Tenant's Project Share" of the annual
"Project Direct Expenses" as those terms are defined in Section 4.2, below. 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 4 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 4 shall survive the expiration
of the Lease Term.

forth:
4.2.1 "PROJECT DIRECT EXPENSES" shall mean the portion of

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, provided that there shall be no increase in the total amount of the
Building Direct Expenses payable by Tenant under this Lease.
4.2.7 "OPERATING EXPENSES" shall mean all expenses, costs and
amounts of every kind and nature which Landlord pays or accrues during any

18
authority, if it had then had knowledge of the presence of such Hazardous

appropriate adjustment to the components of Operating Expenses for such year to
determine the amount of Operating Expenses that would have been paid had the
Project 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.
4.2.8 TAXES.
4.2.8.1 "TAX EXPENSES" shall mean all federal, state,

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

provided without charge to property owners or occupants, and, in further
recognition of the decrease in the level and quality of governmental services

Year such expenses are paid. Tax refunds shall be credited against Tax Expenses

Tenant as Additional Rent under this Article 4 for such Expense Year. 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
4.2.8 (except as set forth in Section 4.2.8.1, above), there shall be excluded

forth in Section 6.1 of the Summary.
4.2.10 "TENANT'S PROJECT SHARE" "Tenant's Project Share" shall
mean the percentage set forth in Section 5.2 of the Summary.
4.3 ALLOCATION OF DIRECT EXPENSES.
4.3.1 METHOD OF ALLOCATION. The parties acknowledge that the
Building is a part of a multi-building project and that the Project 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 4.2
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.
4.3.2 COST POOLS. Landlord shall have the right, from time to
time, to equitably allocate some or all of the Project Direct Expenses among
different portions or occupants of the Project (the "COST POOLS"), in Landlord's
reasonable, good faith 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 an equitable manner.
4.4 CALCULATION AND PAYMENT OF ADDITIONAL RENT. For each Expense Year
ending or commencing within the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in the
manner set forth in Section 4.4.1, below, and as Additional Rent, an amount
equal to the sum of (i) Tenant's Share of Building Direct Expenses for such
Expense Year and (ii) Tenant's Project Share of Project Direct Expenses for such
Expense Year (collectively, the "EXPENSE PAYMENT").
-14-
21
4.4.1 STATEMENT OF ACTUAL DIRECT EXPENSES AND PAYMENT BY TENANT.
Landlord shall give to Tenant following the end of each Expense Year, a
statement (the "STATEMENT") which shall state the Building Direct Expenses and
Project Direct Expenses incurred or accrued for such preceding Expense Year, and
which shall indicate the amount of the Expense Payment. 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
the Expense Payment for such Expense Year, less the amounts, if any, paid during
such Expense Year as an "Estimated Payment," as that term is defined in Section
4.4.2, below; provided however, that in the event that the amounts paid by
Tenant as an Estimated Payment exceed the actual Expense Payments for such
Expense Year (the "Excess"), such Excess shall be credited by Landlord to the
Estimated Payments due for the following Expense Year. 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 4. Even though
the Lease Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final
determination is made of Tenant's Building Share of Building Direct Expenses and
Tenant's Project Share of Project Direct Expenses for the Expense Year in which
this Lease terminates either (i) Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord such
amount or (ii) Landlord shall refund any Excess payments to Tenant within thirty
(30) days of such determination. The provisions of this Section 4.4.1 shall
survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.
4.4.2 STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED DIRECT EXPENSES. In addition,
Landlord shall 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 and Project
Direct Expenses for the then-current Expense Year shall be and the estimated
payment (the "ESTIMATED PAYMENT") which shall be based upon the Estimate. 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 Payment under this Article 4, nor shall Landlord be prohibited from
revising any Estimate Statement or Estimated Payment theretofore delivered to
the extent necessary. Thereafter, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of
Base Rent due, a fraction of the Estimated Payment for the then-current Expense
Year (reduced by any amounts paid pursuant to the next to last sentence of this
Section 4.4.2). 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 Payment set forth in
the previous Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant. Landlord shall
maintain books and records with respect to Building Direct Expenses and Project
Direct Expenses in accordance with generally accepted accounting and management
practices, consistently applied.
4.5 TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES FOR WHICH TENANT IS DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE.
4.5.1 PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES. Tenant shall be liable for and
shall pay at least ten (10) days before delinquency, taxes levied against
Tenant's equipment, furniture, fixtures and any other personal property located
in or about the Premises. If any such taxes on Tenant's equipment,
-15-
22
furniture, fixtures and any other personal property are levied against Landlord
or Landlord's property or if the assessed value of Landlord's property is
increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon such equipment,
furniture, fixtures or any other personal property and if Landlord pays the
taxes based upon such increased assessment, which Landlord shall have the right
to do regardless of the validity thereof but only under proper protest if
requested by Tenant, Tenant shall upon demand repay to Landlord the taxes so
levied against Landlord or the proportion of such taxes resulting from such
increase in the assessment, as the case may be.
4.5.2 "ABOVE-STANDARD" IMPROVEMENTS. If the tenant improvements
in the Premises, whether installed and/or paid for by Landlord or Tenant and
whether or not affixed to the real property so as to become a part thereof, are
assessed for real property tax purposes at a valuation higher than the valuation
at which tenant improvements conforming to Landlord's "building standard" in
other space in the Building are assessed, then the Tax Expenses levied against
Landlord or the property by reason of such excess assessed valuation shall be
deemed to be taxes levied against personal property of Tenant and shall be
governed by the provisions of Section 4.5.1, above.
4.5.3 OTHER TAXES. Notwithstanding any contrary provision
herein, and not including any transfer tax based on Landlord's sale of the
Property, Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency any (i) rent tax or sales tax,
service tax, transfer tax or value added tax, or any other applicable tax on the
rent or services of Landlord herein or otherwise respecting this Lease, (ii)
taxes 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 parking facility;
or (iii) taxes assessed upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is
a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises for
the benefit of Tenant.
4.5.4 SERVICE CHARGES. To the extent that Landlord provides any
services directly to Tenant, including, without limitation, janitorial,
locksmithing, lamp replacement, or repair and maintenance services, Tenant shall

Base Rent to Landlord, the sum of all costs of Landlord of such services, plus
an administration fee.

any particular Non-Structural Alteration, (ii) affect the exterior appearance of
the Building, (iii) affect the Building Systems or the Building Structure, or

may not make any improvements, alterations, additions or changes to the Premises
or any mechanical, plumbing or HVAC facilities or systems pertaining to
-19-
26
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,
provided it shall be deeded reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to
any Alteration which adversely affects the structural portions or the systems or
equipment of the Building or is visible from the exterior of the Building. 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 8.
8.2 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 Tenant utilize
for such purposes only contractors, subcontractors, materials, mechanics and
materialmen selected by Tenant from a list of reputable candidates charging fair
market rates provided and approved by Landlord, and the requirement that upon
Landlord's written request given to Tenant prior to the installation of the
Alterations, Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, remove such Alterations upon the
expiration or any early termination of the Lease Term. Tenant shall construct
such Alterations and perform such repairs in a good and workmanlike manner, in
conformance with any and all applicable federal, state, county or municipal
laws, rules and regulations and pursuant to a valid building permit, issued by
the City of Irvine, all in conformance with Landlord's reasonable construction
rules and regulations. In the event Tenant performs any Alterations in the
Premises which require or give rise to governmentally required changes to the
"Base Building," as that term is defined below, then Landlord shall, at Tenant's
expense, make such changes to the Base Building. The "BASE BUILDING" shall
include the structural portions of the Building, and the public restrooms and
the systems and equipment located in the internal core of the Building on the
floor or floors on which the Premises are located. In performing the work of any
such Alterations at the Premises, 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. 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 Building or the Common Areas. In addition to
Tenant's obligations under Article 9 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 Orange 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 copy of the
"as built" drawings of the Alterations as well as all permits, approvals and
other documents issued by any governmental agency in connection with the
Alterations.
8.3 PAYMENT FOR IMPROVEMENTS. 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
contractors. If Tenant orders any work directly from Landlord after the
Commencement Date of the Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a percentage not to
exceed five percent (5%) of the cost of such work sufficient to compensate
Landlord for all overhead, general
-20-
27
conditions, fees and other costs and expenses arising from Landlord's
involvement with such work; provided however, that in the event Landlord's
involvement is limited to the review of Tenant's work performed by separate
contractors, Landlord shall be entitled to payment by Tenant of its reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such review.
8.4 CONSTRUCTION INSURANCE. In connection with the construction of any
Alterations, Tenant shall comply with the terms of Section 10.3.4 regarding
Tenant's and its agents' insurance obligations.
8.5 LANDLORD'S PROPERTY. All Alterations, improvements, fixtures,
equipment and/or appurtenances which may be installed or placed in 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, except that Tenant may remove any
Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment which Tenant can
substantiate to Landlord have not been paid for with any Tenant improvement
allowance funds provided to Tenant by Landlord, provided Tenant repairs any
damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal and returns the
affected portion of the Premises to a building standard tenant improved
condition as reasonably determined by Landlord. Furthermore, 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 any Alterations as to which the notice requirement set forth in Section
8.2 above applies, and to repair any damage to the Premises and Building caused
by such removal and return the affected portion of the Premises to a building
standard tenant improved condition as reasonably determined by Landlord. If
Tenant fails to complete such removal and/or to repair any damage caused by the
removal of any Alterations and fails to return the affected portion of the
Premises to a building standard tenant improved condition as reasonably
determined by Landlord, Landlord may do so and may charge the reasonable cost
thereof to Tenant. Tenant hereby protects, defends, indemnifies and holds
Landlord harmless from any liability, cost, obligation, expense or claim of lien
in any manner relating to the installation, placement, removal or financing of
any such Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment in, on or about
the Premises, which obligations of Tenant shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease.
ARTICLE 9
COVENANT AGAINST LIENS
Tenant shall keep the Project and Premises free from any liens or
encumbrances arising out of the work performed, materials furnished or
obligations incurred by or on behalf of Tenant, and shall protect, defend,
indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any claims, liabilities,
judgments or costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees
and costs) arising out of same or in connection therewith. Tenant shall give
Landlord notice at least ten (10) days prior to the commencement of any such
work on the Premises (or such additional time as may be necessary under
applicable laws) to afford Landlord the opportunity of posting and recording
appropriate notices of non-responsibility. Tenant shall remove any such lien or
encumbrance by bond or otherwise within fifteen (15) days after notice by
Landlord, and if Tenant shall fail to do so, Landlord may pay the amount
necessary to remove such lien or encumbrance, without being
-21-
28
responsible for investigating the validity thereof. The amount so paid shall be
deemed Additional Rent under this Lease payable upon demand, without limitation
as to other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease. Nothing contained
in this Lease shall authorize Tenant to do any act which shall subject
Landlord's title to the Building or Premises to any liens or encumbrances
whether claimed by operation of law or express or implied contract. Any claim to
a lien or encumbrance upon the Building or Premises arising in connection with
any such work performed by or at the request of Tenant shall be null and void,
or at Landlord's option shall attach only against Tenant's interest in the
Premises and shall in all respects be subordinate to Landlord's title to the
Project, Building and Premises.
ARTICLE 10
INSURANCE
10.1 INDEMNIFICATION AND WAIVER. Tenant hereby assumes all risk of
damage to property or injury to persons in or upon the Premises from any cause
whatsoever and agrees that Landlord, its partners, subpartners and their
respective officers, agents, 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, except due to Landlord's negligence or
willful misconduct. 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 or on the Premises, any
acts, omissions or negligence of Tenant or of any person claiming by, through or
under Tenant, or of the contractors, agents, servants, employees, invitees,
guests or licensees of Tenant or any such person (collectively, "TENANT
PARTIES"), in or on the Project, or any breach of the terms of this Lease,
either during the Lease Term or any period of occupancy of the Premises by
Tenant prior to, during, or after the expiration of the Lease Term, provided
that the terms of the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to the negligence or
willful misconduct of Landlord or the Landlord Parties. Landlord shall not be
released or indemnified from and shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold
harmless Tenant and the Tenant Parties from any and all loss, cost, damage,
expense and liability (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees)
arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of the Landlord Parties in or
on the Project or any breach by Landlord of its obligations under the Lease,
except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the
Tenant Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Lease, either party's agreement to indemnify the other party as set forth in
this Article 10, above, shall be ineffective to the extent the matters for which
such party agreed to indemnify the other party are covered by insurance required
to be carried by the other party pursuant to this Lease. Further, Tenant's
agreement to indemnify Landlord and Landlord's agreement to indemnify Tenant
pursuant to this Article 10 are not intended and shall not relieve any insurance
carrier of its obligations under policies required to be carried pursuant to the
provision of this Lease, to the extent such policies cover subject to the
parties' respective indemnification obligations; nor shall they supersede any
inconsistent agreement of the parties set forth in any other provision of this
Lease. Should Landlord be named as a defendant in any suit brought against
Tenant in connection with or arising out of any
-22-
29
claim to which Tenant's indemnity obligations apply, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord its costs and expenses incurred in such suit, including without
limitation, its actual professional fees such as appraisers', accountants' and
attorneys' fees. In addition, Tenant shall pay to Landlord any reasonable costs
and expenses, including without limitation, its actual attorney's fees, incurred
by Landlord in successfully enforcing Tenant's indemnity obligations set forth
in this Section 10.1. The provisions of this Section 10.1 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.
10.2 TENANT'S COMPLIANCE WITH LANDLORD'S PROPERTY AND CASUALTY
INSURANCE. Landlord shall insure the base Building (including the Building
structure and Building systems) during the Lease Term against loss or damage due
to fire and other casualties covered within the classification of fire and
extended coverage, vandalism coverage and malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage,
water damage and special extended coverage. Additionally, at the option of
Landlord, such insurance coverage may include the risks of earthquakes and/or
flood damage and additional hazards, a rental loss endorsement and one or more
loss payee endorsements in favor of the holders of any mortgages or deeds of
trust encumbering the interest of Landlord in the Building or the ground or
underlying lessors of the Building, or any portion thereof. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Section 10.2, the coverage and amounts of insurance
carried by Landlord in connection with the Building shall at a minimum be
comparable to the coverage and amounts of insurance which are carried by
reasonably prudent landlords of Buildings comparable to the Building in the
vicinity of the Building. 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.
10.3 TENANT'S INSURANCE. Tenant shall maintain the following coverages
in the following amounts.
10.3.1 Commercial General Liability Insurance covering the
insured against claims of bodily injury, personal injury and property damage
(including loss of use thereof) arising out of Tenant's operations, actions, and
contractual liabilities (covering the performance by Tenant of its indemnity
agreements) including a Broad Form endorsement covering the insuring provisions
of this Lease and the performance by Tenant of the indemnity agreements set
forth in Section 10.1 of this Lease, for limits of liability (with a
commercially reasonable deductible) not less than:
Bodily Injury and $2,000,000 each occurrence
Property Damage Liability $2,000,000 annual aggregate
Personal Injury Liability $2,000,000 each occurrence
$2,000,000 annual aggregate
10.3.2 All Risk Property Insurance covering (i) all office
furniture, business and trade fixtures, office equipment, free-standing cabinet
work, movable partitions, merchandise and all other items of Tenant's property
on the Premises installed by, for, or at the expense of Tenant, (ii) the
-23-
30
"Tenant Improvements", as that term is defined in Section 2.1 of the Tenant Work
Letter and any other improvements which exist in the Premises as of the Lease
Commencement Date (excluding the Base Building) (the "ORIGINAL IMPROVEMENTS"),
(iii) the Tenant's business interruption and extra expense in an amount equal to
one (1) year of Rent due under this Lease and (iv) all other 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 (subject to reasonable deductible amounts) and with an agreed amount
endorsement, and shall include coverage for damage or other loss caused by fire
or other peril including, but not limited to, vandalism and malicious mischief,
theft, water damage of any type, including sprinkler leakage, earthquake
sprinkler leakage, bursting or stoppage of pipes, and explosion.
10.3.3 Worker's Compensation and Employer's Liability in an
amount no less than $1,000,000.00 or other similar insurance pursuant to all
applicable state and local statutes and regulations.
10.3.4 Prior to commencing construction in the Premises in
connection with any Alterations, Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence
that any contractors, subcontractors, architects or engineers engaged by Tenant
for construction in the Premises carry insurance of the type and in the amount
required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to Sections 10.3.1 and 10.3.2, above,
or such lesser amount as approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld. In addition, unless otherwise approved in advance by the
Owner, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, any general
contractor's policy of insurance shall contain an owner's contractor protective
endorsement, and coverage for work performed by others, and any contractors or
subcontractors insurance shall contain products and completed operations
coverage and said contractor shall warrant that it shall continue to carry such
coverage for a period of not less than ten (10) years. Any architects or
engineers engaged by Tenant in connection with any such construction shall
additionally carry errors and omissions insurance coverage. In addition,
Landlord may, in its discretion, require that Tenant 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 for those Alterations involving One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) or more of work.
10.4 FORM OF POLICIES. The minimum limits of policies of insurance
required of Tenant or its contractors, subcontractors, architects or engineers
under this Lease shall in no event limit the liability of Tenant under this
Lease. Such insurance shall (i) as appropriate name Landlord, and any other
party the Landlord so specifies, as an additional insured, including Landlord's
managing agent, if any; (ii) specifically cover the liability assumed by Tenant
under this Lease, including, but not limited to, Tenant's obligations under
Section 10.1 of this Lease; (iii) 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;
(iv) 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; (v) be in form and content reasonably
acceptable to Landlord; and (vi) provide that said insurance shall not be
canceled or coverage materially changed unless thirty (30) days' prior written
notice shall have been given to
-24-
31
Landlord and any mortgagee of Landlord by the insurer or the Tenant. Tenant
shall deliver said policy or policies or certificates thereof to Landlord on or
before the Lease Commencement 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, 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.
10.5 SUBROGATION. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Lease, Landlord and Tenant intend that their respective property loss risks
shall be borne by reasonable insurance carriers to the extent above provided,
and Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to look solely to, and seek recovery only
from, their respective insurance carriers in the event of a property loss which
is caused by or results from a risk which in actually insured against, which is
required to be insured against under this Lease, or which would normally be
covered by "all risk" property insurance, without regard to the negligence or
willful misconduct of the person or entity to be released. The parties each
hereby waive all rights and claims against each other for such losses, and waive
all rights of subrogation of their respective insurers, provided such waiver of
subrogation shall not affect the right to the insured to recover thereunder. The
parties agree that their respective insurance policies are now, or shall be,
endorsed such that the waiver of subrogation shall not affect the right of the
insured to recover thereunder.
10.6 ADDITIONAL INSURANCE OBLIGATIONS. Tenant shall carry and maintain
during any Option Term, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, increased amounts of
the insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Article 10 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.
ARTICLE 11
DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION
11.1 REPAIR OF DAMAGE TO PREMISES BY LANDLORD. Tenant shall promptly
notify Landlord of any damage to the Premises resulting from fire or any other
loss. If the Premises or any Common Areas serving or providing access to the
Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall (i) provide
a written notice to Tenant indicating the anticipated period for repairing the
damage (the "REPAIR PERIOD NOTICE"), and (ii) 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 11, restore
the Base Building and such Common Areas. Such restoration shall be to
substantially the same condition of the Base 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 reasonably 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
-25-
32
Section 10.3 of this Lease, and Landlord shall repair any injury or damage to
the Tenant Improvements and the Original Improvements installed in the Premises
and shall return such Tenant Improvements and Original 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 commencement of repair of the damage. 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 or Common Areas necessary to Tenant's occupancy,
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.
11.2 LANDLORD'S OPTION TO REPAIR. Notwithstanding the terms of Section
11.1 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 no later than sixty (60) days
after the date of the discovery of damage (and Landlord will use reasonable
efforts to notify Tenant sooner), such notice to include a termination date
giving Tenant sixty (60) days to vacate the Premises, but Landlord may so elect
only if the Building or Project shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or
cause, whether or not the Premises are affected, Landlord's election to
terminate the leases of other similarly situated tenants in the Building or
Project is exercised in a non-discriminatory manner, and one or more of the
following conditions is present: (i) in Landlord's reasonable judgment, repairs
cannot reasonably be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days (or in the
event of damage resulting from earthquake, three hundred sixty (360) days) after
the date 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; (iii) the damage is not
fully covered by Landlord's insurance policies and the uninsured portion of such
repairs amounts to Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) or more; or (iv)
the damage occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term.
11.3 WAIVER OF STATUTORY PROVISIONS. The provisions of this Lease,
including this Article 11, 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.
11.4 TENANT'S OPTION(s) TO TERMINATE. If (i) the Repair Period Notice
provided by Landlord indicates that the anticipated period for repairing the
damage exceeds one hundred eighty (180) days, or (ii) the Building is destroyed
or damaged during the last twelve (12) months of the
-26-
33
Lease Term, and (iii) Landlord has not elected to terminate the Lease pursuant
to Section 11.2 above, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease by
giving written notice to Landlord of the exercise of that option within sixty
(60) days after damage or destruction occurs. If Tenant does not elect to
terminate within this sixty (60) day period, Tenant shall be considered to have
waived the option to terminate.
ARTICLE 12
NONWAIVER
No provision of this Lease shall be deemed waived by either party hereto
unless expressly waived in a writing signed thereby. The waiver by either party
hereto of any breach of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall
not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of same or any other term,
covenant or condition herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of Rent
hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach
by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the
failure of Tenant to pay the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of
Landlord's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such
Rent. No acceptance of a lesser amount than the Rent herein stipulated shall be
deemed a waiver of Landlord's right to receive the full amount due, nor shall
any endorsement or statement on any check or payment or any letter accompanying
such check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may
accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover
the full amount due. 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.
ARTICLE 13
CONDEMNATION
If the whole or any part thereof necessary for the reasonable use 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 or condemned,
or reconfigured or vacated by such authority in such manner as to require the
use, reconstruction or remodeling of a substantial 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 effective as of the date possession is required
to be surrendered to the authority. 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, in each case for a period in excess of one hundred
eighty (180) days, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease
effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to the
authority. Tenant shall
-27-
34
not because of such taking assert any claim against Landlord or the authority
for any compensation because of such taking and 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. 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. 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 amount 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
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
14.1 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 enter into any
license or concession agreements or otherwise permit the occupancy or use of the
Premises or any part thereof by any persons other than Tenant and its employees
and contractors (all of the foregoing are hereinafter sometimes referred to
collectively as "TRANSFERS" and any person 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
Premium", as that term is defined in Section 14.3 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)
financial statements for the prior two (2) fiscal years of the proposed
Transferee certified by an officer, partner or owner thereof, business credit
and personal references and history of the proposed Transferee 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.
-28-
35
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 under this Lease. Whether or not Landlord
consents to any proposed Transfer, Tenant shall pay Landlord's review and
processing fees, as well as any reasonable professional fees (including, without
limitation, attorneys', accountants', architect's, engineers' and consultants'
fees) incurred by Landlord, not to exceed One Thousand and 00/100 Dollars
($1,000.00) for a Transfer in the ordinary course of business, within thirty
(30) days after written request by Landlord.
14.2 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:
14.2.1 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, or would be a significantly less prestigious occupant of the Building
than Tenant;
14.2.2 The Transferee intends to use the Subject Space for
purposes which are not permitted under this Lease;
14.2.3 The Transferee is either a governmental agency or
instrumentality thereof;
14.2.4 The Transferee is not a party of reasonable financial
worth and/or financial stability in light of the responsibilities to be
undertaken in connection with the Transfer;
14.2.5 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;
14.2.6 The terms of the proposed Transfer will allow a
Transferee other than an Affiliate to exercise a right of renewal, right of
expansion, right of first offer, or other similar right held by Tenant (or will
allow the Transferee to occupy space leased by Tenant pursuant to any such
right); or
14.2.7 Either the proposed Transferee, or any person or entity
which directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common
control with, the proposed Transferee, (i) occupies space in the Project at the
time of the request for consent, or (ii) is negotiating or has actively
negotiated with Landlord in the one hundred twenty (120) day period prior to the
date of the Transfer Notice to lease space in the Project.
If Landlord consents to any Transfer pursuant to the terms of this
Section 14.2 (and does not exercise any recapture rights Landlord may have under
Section 14.4 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
-29-
36
Section 14.1 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 14.2, 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 14 (including
Landlord's right of recapture, if any, under Section 14.4 of this Lease).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if Tenant or any
proposed Transferee claims that Landlord has unreasonably withheld or delayed
its consent under Section 14.2 or otherwise has breached or acted unreasonably
under this Article 14, their sole remedies shall be a declaratory judgment and
an injunction for the relief sought together with any monetary damages, provided
that Tenant hereby waives all other remedies, including, without limitation, any
right at law or equity to terminate this Lease, on its own behalf and, to the
extent permitted under all applicable laws, on behalf of the proposed
Transferee.
14.3 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 14.3, 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, (ii) any free base rent reasonably provided to the Transferee, and
(iii) any brokerage commissions, and (iv) reasonable attorneys' fees in
connection with the Transfer (collectively, "TENANT'S SUBLEASING COSTS").
"Transfer Premium" shall also include, but not be limited to, key money, bonus
money or other cash consideration paid by Transferee to Tenant as consideration
for such Transfer and which consideration is 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. The determination of the amount of Landlord's applicable share of
the Transfer Premium shall be made on a monthly basis as rent or other
consideration is received by Tenant under the Transfer. For purposes of
calculating the Transfer Premium on a monthly basis, (i) Tenant's Subleasing
Costs shall be deemed to be expended by Tenant in equal monthly amounts over the
entire term of the Transfer and (ii) the Rent paid 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.
14.4 LANDLORD'S OPTION AS TO SUBJECT SPACE. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Article 14, 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
-30-
37
term of the Transfer as set forth in the Transfer Notice (or at Landlord's
option, shall cause the Transfer to be made to Landlord or its agent, in which
case the parties shall execute the Transfer documentation promptly thereafter).
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 14.4, 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 14.
14.5 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 any liability under this Lease, including, without
limitation, in connection with the Subject Space. 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 respecting any Transfer shall be
found understated, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after demand, pay the
deficiency, and if understated by more than two percent (2%), Tenant shall pay
Landlord's costs of such audit.
14.6 ADDITIONAL TRANSFERS. Except as otherwise set forth in Section
14.8, 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 an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) or more 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 an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) or more of the
value of the unencumbered assets of Tenant within a twelve (12)-month period.
14.7 OCCURRENCE OF DEFAULT. Any Transfer hereunder shall be subordinate
and subject to the provisions of this Lease, and if this Lease shall be
terminated during the term of any Transfer, Landlord shall have the right to:
(i) treat such Transfer as cancelled and repossess the Subject Space
-31-
38
by any lawful means, or (ii) require that such Transferee attorn to and
recognize Landlord as its landlord under any such Transfer. Upon any assignment,
the assignee shall assume in writing all obligations and covenants of Tenant
thereafter to be performed or observed under this Lease. No collection or
acceptance of rent by Landlord from any Transferee shall be deemed a waiver of
any provision of this Article 14 or the approval of any Transferee or a release
of Tenant from any obligation under this Lease, whether theretofore or
thereafter accruing. In no event shall Landlord's enforcement of any provision
of this Lease against any Transferee be deemed a waiver of Landlord's right to
enforce any term of this Lease against Tenant or any other person. If Tenant's
obligations hereunder have been guaranteed, Landlord's consent to any Transfer
shall not be effective unless the guarantor also consents to such Transfer.
14.8 NON-TRANSFERS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in Article 14 of this Lease, an assignment or subletting of all or a portion of
the Premises (i) to an affiliate of Tenant (an entity which is controlled by,
controls, or is under common control with, Tenant), (ii) to a successor
corporation resulting from the merger or consolidation of Tenant with another
entity, or (iii) to an entity that purchases all of the assets of the distinct
business unit of Tenant operating in the Premises, which entity has an equal or
greater net worth to Tenant immediately following such purchase (collectively,
"Affiliates") shall not be deemed a Transfer under Article 14 of this Lease,
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 Affiliates, and further
provided that such assignment or sublease is not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid
its obligations under this Lease. "Control," as used in this Section 14.8, shall
mean the ownership, directly or indirectly, of at least fifty-one percent (51%)
of the voting securities of, or possession of the right to vote, in the ordinary
direction of its affairs, of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting
interest in, an person or entity.
ARTICLE 15
SURRENDER OF PREMISES; OWNERSHIP AND
REMOVAL OF TRADE FIXTURES
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 or terminate any or all
such sublessees or subtenancies.
-32-
39
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 Article 15, quit and surrender possession of the
Premises to Landlord in the condition existing as of the Lease Commencement
Date, reasonable wear and tear, casualty, condemnation, Hazardous Materials not
brought onto the Premises by the Tenant Parties, and repairs, which are
specifically made the responsibility of Landlord hereunder, and any Alterations
which Tenant is not required to remove at the termination of this Lease pursuant
to Section 8.2 above, excepted. Upon such expiration or termination, Tenant
shall, without expense to Landlord, remove or cause to be removed from the
Premises all debris and rubbish, and such items of furniture, equipment,
business and trade fixtures, free-standing cabinet work, movable partitions and
other articles of personal property owned by Tenant or installed or placed by
Tenant at its expense in the Premises, and such similar articles of any other
persons claiming under Tenant, as Landlord, in its reasonable discretion,
require Tenant to remove at the time of installation, and Tenant shall repair at
its own expense all damage to the Premises and Building resulting from such
removal.
ARTICLE 16
HOLDING OVER
If Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Lease Term or earlier
termination thereof, 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 Rent shall
be payable at a monthly rate equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the
Rent applicable during the last rental period of the Lease Term under this
Lease. Such month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other applicable
term, covenant and agreement contained herein. Nothing contained in this Article
16 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 Article 16 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.
ARTICLE 17
ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES
Within ten (10) business days following a request in writing by
Landlord, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an estoppel
certificate, which, as submitted by Landlord, shall be substantially in the form
of EXHIBIT E, attached hereto (or such other form as may
-33-
40
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. Any such certificate
may be relied upon by any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of all or any
portion of the Project. Tenant shall execute and deliver whatever other
instruments may be reasonably required for such purposes within ten (10)
business days after receipt of a request by Landlord. At any time during the
Lease Term, but in no event more than once during each Lease Year, Landlord may
require Tenant to provide Landlord within ten (10) business days after receipt
of a request by Landlord with a current financial statement and financial
statements of the two (2) years prior to the current financial statement year.
Such statements shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and, if such is the normal practice of Tenant, shall be
audited by an independent certified public accountant. Failure of Tenant to
timely execute, acknowledge 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.
ARTICLE 18
SUBORDINATION
Landlord represents to Tenant that there are no current mortgages or
deeds of trust encumbering the Building or Project. 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, trust deed or other
encumbrances hereafter in force against the Building or Project or any part
thereof, 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, trust deeds or other encumbrances, or the lessors under such ground
lease or underlying leases (collectively, "MORTGAGEES"), require in writing that
this Lease be superior thereto. In consideration of, and as a condition
precedent to, Tenant's agreement to permit its interest pursuant to this Lease
to be subordinated to any particular future ground or underlying lease of the
Building or the Project or to the lien of any first mortgage or trust deed,
hereafter enforced against the Building or the Project and to any renewals,
extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof, Landlord
shall deliver to Tenant a commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement (the
"SNDA") executed by the landlord under such ground lease or underlying lease or
the holder of such mortgage or trust deed, as appropriate, recognizing this
Lease, any successor Landlord's obligation to perform hereunder, and Tenant's
right to offset Rent pursuant to the terms of this Lease. Tenant covenants and
agrees in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any such
mortgage or deed in lieu thereof (or if any ground lease is terminated), to
attorn subject to the terms of the SNDA, without any deductions or set-offs
whatsoever, to the lienholder or purchaser or any successors thereto upon any
such foreclosure sale or deed in lieu thereof (or to the ground lessor), so by
such purchaser or lienholder or ground lessor, and to recognize such purchaser
or lienholder or ground lessor as the lessor under this Lease, provided that,
subject to the terms of the SNDA, such lienholder or purchaser or ground lessor
shall agree to accept this Lease, perform Landlord's obligations, recognize
Tenant's rights and obligations, and not to
-34-
41
disturb Tenant's occupancy, so long as Tenant timely pays the rent and observes
and performs the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be observed
and performed by Tenant. Landlord's interest herein may be assigned as security
at any time to any lienholder. Tenant shall, within ten (10) 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 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.
ARTICLE 19
DEFAULTS; REMEDIES
19.1 EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of any of the following shall
constitute a default of this Lease by Tenant:
19.1.1 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 unless such
failure is cured within five (5) days after notice; or
19.1.2 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 ten (10) days after written notice
thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided that if the nature of such default is
such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within a ten (10) 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 such
default; or
19.1.3 Abandonment of all or any portion of the Premises by
Tenant; or
19.1.4 The failure by Tenant to observe or perform according to
the provisions of Articles 5, 14, 17 or 18 of this Lease where such failure
continues for more than five (5) business days after notice from Landlord.
The notice periods provided herein are in lieu of, and not in addition
to, any notice periods provided by law.
19.2 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 (all of which remedies shall be distinct, separate
and cumulative), 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.
19.2.1 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
-35-
42
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 any unpaid rent which has 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.
The term "rent" as used in this Section 19.2 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 Sections
19.2.1(i) and (ii), above, the "worth at the time of award" shall be computed by
allowing interest at the rate set forth in Article 25 of this Lease, but in no
case greater than the maximum amount of such interest permitted by law. As used
in Section 19.2.1(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%). If Landlord terminates
this Lease or Tenant's right to possession, Landlord shall use reasonable
efforts to mitigate Landlord's damages, and Tenant shall be entitled to submit
proof of such failure to mitigate as a defense to Landlord's claims hereunder,
if mitigation of damages by Landlord is required by applicable law.
19.2.2 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.
-36-
43
19.2.3 Landlord shall at all times have the rights and remedies
(which shall be cumulative with each other and cumulative and in addition to
those rights and remedies available under Sections 19.2.1 and 19.2.2, above, or
any law or other provision of this Lease), without prior demand or notice except
as required by applicable law, to seek any declaratory, injunctive or other
equitable relief, and specifically enforce this Lease, or restrain or enjoin a
violation or breach of any provision hereof.
19.3 FORM OF PAYMENT AFTER DEFAULT. Following the occurrence of an event
of default by Tenant during the first twelve (12) months of the Lease Term,
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.
19.4 EFFORTS TO RELET. No re-entry or repossession, repairs,
maintenance, changes, alterations and additions, appointment of a receiver to
protect Landlord's interests hereunder, or any other action or omission by
Landlord shall be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease
or Tenant's right to possession, or to accept a surrender of the Premises, nor
shall same operate to release Tenant in whole or in part from any of Tenant's
obligations hereunder, unless express written notice of such intention is sent
by Landlord to Tenant.
19.5 ABATEMENT OF RENT. In the event that Tenant is prevented from
using, and does not use, the Premises or any portion thereof, as a result of (i)
any alteration performed by Landlord after the Lease Commencement Date and
required by the Lease, which substantially interferes with Tenant's use of the
Premises, or (ii) any failure to provide services, utilities or access to the
Premises as required of Landlord pursuant to the terms of hereof (either such
set of circumstances as set forth in items (i) or (ii), above, to be known as an
"ABATEMENT EVENT"), then Tenant shall give Landlord notice of such Abatement
Event, and if such Abatement Event continues for seven (7) consecutive calendar
days after Landlord's receipt of any such notice (the "ELIGIBILITY PERIOD"),
then the Base Rent and Tenant's Share of Building Direct Expenses shall be
abated or reduced, as the case may be, after expiration of the Eligibility
Period for such time that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and
does not use, the Premises or a portion thereof, in the proportion that the
rentable area of the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from
using, and does not use, bears to the total rentable area of the Premises;
provided, however, in the event that Tenant is prevented from using, and does
not use, a portion of the Premises for a period of time in excess of the
Eligibility Period and the remaining portion of the Premises is not sufficient
to allow Tenant to effectively conduct its business therein, and if Tenant does
not conduct its business from such remaining portion, then for such time after
expiration of the Eligibility Period during which Tenant is so prevented from
effectively conducting its business therein, the Base Rent and Tenant's Share of
Building Direct Expenses for the entire Premises shall be abated for such time
as Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the
Premises. If, however, Tenant reoccupies any portion of the Premises during such
period, the rent allocable to such reoccupied portion, based on the proportion
that the rentable area of such reoccupied portion of the Premises bears to the
total rentable area of the Premises, shall be payable by Tenant from the date
Tenant reoccupies such
-37-
44
portion of the Premises. Such right to xxxxx Base Rent and Tenant's Share of
Building Direct Expenses shall be Tenant's sole and exclusive rent abatement
remedy at law or in equity for an Abatement Event. Except as provided in this
Section 19.5, nothing contained herein shall be interpreted to mean that Tenant
is excused from paying Rent due hereunder.
ARTICLE 20
COVENANT OF 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.
ARTICLE 21
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, as security for the faithful performance by
Tenant of all of its obligations under this Lease. If Tenant defaults with
respect to any provisions of this Lease, including, but not limited to, the
provisions relating to the payment of Rent, the removal of property and the
repair of resultant damage, Landlord may, without notice to Tenant, but shall
not be required to, apply all or any part of the Security Deposit for the
payment of any Rent or any other sum in default and Tenant shall, upon demand
therefor, restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Any unapplied
portion of the Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant, or, at Landlord's
option, to the last assignee of Tenant's interest hereunder, within forty-five
(45) 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, or any successor
statute.
ARTICLE 22
INTENTIONALLY DELETED
ARTICLE 23
SIGNS
23.1 EXTERIOR SIGNAGE. Subject to Landlord's prior written approval, in
its reasonable discretion, and provided that any sign is in keeping with the
quality, design and style of the Building and Project and is in compliance with
all covenants, conditions or restrictions affecting the Project,
-38-
45
and all applicable law, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, may install one
(1) sign identifying Tenant at the top of the Building facia, with the precise
location of such signage to be determined by Landlord.
23.2 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. Except as is set forth in Section 23.1, above, Tenant
may not install any signs on the exterior or roof of the Building 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 approval of Landlord, in its reasonable discretion.
ARTICLE 24
COMPLIANCE WITH LAW
Tenant shall not do anything or suffer anything to be done, by anyone
under Tenant's control, in or about the Premises or the Project which will in
any way violate any law, statute, ordinance or other governmental rule,
regulation or requirement now in force or which may hereafter be enacted or
promulgated concerning Tenant's use of the Premises. At its sole cost and
expense, Tenant shall promptly comply with all such governmental measures
relating to the Premises and Building, other than the making of changes to the
Base Building. Should any standard or regulation now or hereafter be imposed on
Landlord or Tenant concerning Tenant's use of the Premises 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.
ARTICLE 25
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 five (5) days after Tenant's
receipt of a notice of non-payment by Landlord, then Tenant shall pay to
Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the overdue amount 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. 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 annual "Bank Prime
Loan" rate cited in the Federal Reserve
-39-
46
Statistical Release Publication G.13(415), published on the first Tuesday of
each calendar month (or such other comparable index as Landlord and Tenant shall
reasonably agree upon if such rate ceases to be published) plus two (2)
percentage points, and (ii) the highest rate permitted by applicable law.
ARTICLE 26
LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULT; PAYMENTS BY TENANT
26.1 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, except to the extent,
if any, otherwise expressly provided herein. If Tenant shall fail to perform any
obligation under this Lease, and such failure shall continue in excess of the
time allowed under Section 19.1.2, above, unless a specific time period is
otherwise stated in this Lease, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to,
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.
26.2 TENANT'S REIMBURSEMENT. Except as may be specifically provided to
the contrary in this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon 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
26.1; (ii) sums equal to all losses, costs, liabilities, damages and expenses
referred to in Article 10 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 26.2 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of
the Lease Term.
ARTICLE 27
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 during the last seven (7) months of the Lease Term, or to current or
prospective mortgagees, ground or underlying lessors or insurers; (iii) post
notices of nonresponsibility; or (iv) alter, improve or repair the Premises or
the Building, or for structural alterations, repairs or improvements to the
Building or the Building's systems and equipment. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Article 27, Landlord may enter the Premises at
any time to (A) perform services required of Landlord, including janitorial
service; (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
-40-
47
the Premises, and any other loss occasioned by entry in accordance with this
Lease. 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 hereinbefore 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. No provision
of this Lease shall be construed as obligating Landlord to perform any repairs,
alterations or decorations except as otherwise expressly agreed to be performed
by Landlord herein.
ARTICLE 28
TENANT PARKING
Tenant shall have the right, during the Lease Term, to use up to the
number of parking spaces in the Project parking areas as set forth in Section 8
of the Summary. Such use shall be free of charge during the initial Lease Term.
Tenant shall abide by all reasonable rules and regulations which are prescribed
from time to time for the orderly operation and use of such areas, including any
sticker or other identification system established by Landlord, and Tenant's
cooperation in seeing that Tenant's employees and visitors also comply with such
rules and regulations. Landlord specifically reserves the right to change the
size, configuration, design, layout and all other aspects of the Project parking
areas at any time 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 Project areas
facility for purposes of permitting or facilitating any such construction,
alteration or improvements. Landlord may delegate its responsibilities hereunder
to a parking operator in which case such parking operator shall have all the
rights of control attributed hereby to the Landlord.
ARTICLE 29
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
29.1 TERMS; CAPTIONS. The words "Landlord" and "Tenant" as used herein

COUNTERCLAIM SHALL BE MANDATORY) IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING OR ACTION, BUT SHALL BE
RELEGATED TO AN INDEPENDENT ACTION AT LAW.
29.23 SUBMISSION OF LEASE. Submission of this instrument for examination

Rent" shall be determined as the missing component of an annuity, which annuity
shall have (i) the amount of the Additional Tenant

Improvement Allowance used by Tenant as the present value amount, (ii) 60 as the
number of payments (i.e., the number of months in the initial Lease Term as to
which Tenant is obligated to pay Base Rent), (iii) eighty-three one hundredths
of one percent (0.83%), which is equal to ten percent (10%) divided by twelve

Tenant shall respond with its approval of the Final Working Drawings, or with
detailed reasons for its disapproval, within seven (7) business days after

SECTION 4
CONSTRUCTION OF THE TENANT IMPROVEMENTS
4.1 Contractor. Magellan Construction ("CONTRACTOR") shall construct the
Tenant Improvements. Contractor shall perform all work in connection with the
Tenant Improvements in a manner consistent with that of expert contracting firms
involved in projects of similar scope and complexity, and in accordance with the
requirements of the Approved Working Drawings. The form of agreement to be

Guaranteed Maximum Price to be based on the approved "Cost Proposal," defined
below. Contractor shall competitively bid the Tenant Improvements with at least
three (3) subcontractors for each major trade with a total cost over $20,000,
two (2) of which may be designated by Tenant.
4.2 Cost Proposal. Within five (5) business days after the Approved
Working Drawings are signed by Landlord and Tenant, and the bids are received
from the applicable subcontractors and suppliers, Landlord shall provide Tenant
with a "not-to-exceed" cost proposal in accordance with the Approved Working
Drawings, which cost proposal shall include, as nearly as possible, the total
cost of the work and cost of all Tenant Improvement Allowance Items to be paid
by Tenant in connection with the design and construction of the Tenant
Improvements (the "COST PROPOSAL"). Tenant shall review and disapprove or
approve and deliver the Cost Proposal to Landlord within five (5) business days
of the receipt of the same, and upon Landlord's receipt of Tenant's approval of
the same, Landlord shall be released by Tenant to purchase the items set forth
in the Cost Proposal and to commence the construction relating to such items.
The date by which Tenant must approve and deliver the Cost Proposal to Landlord
shall be known hereafter as the "COST PROPOSAL DELIVERY DATE".
4.3 Construction of Tenant Improvements by Contractor under the
Supervision of Landlord.
4.3.1 Over-Allowance Amount. On the Cost Proposal Delivery Date,
Tenant shall deliver to Landlord cash in an amount (the "OVER-ALLOWANCE AMOUNT")
equal to the difference between (i) the amount of the Cost Proposal and (ii) the
amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, plus any Additional Tenant
Improvement Allowance. The Over-Allowance Amount shall be disbursed by Landlord
pursuant to the same procedure as the Tenant Improvement Allowance. In the event
that, after the Cost Proposal Delivery Date, any revisions, changes, or
substitutions shall be made to the Construction Drawings or the Tenant
Improvements, any additional costs which arise in connection with such
revisions, changes or substitutions or any other additional costs shall be paid
by Tenant to Landlord immediately upon Landlord's request as an addition to the
Over-Allowance Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Tenant
requests any change to the Approved Working Drawings ("Change"), which Change
may result in an additive or deductive change in the guaranteed maximum amount
("GMAX") of the Construction Contract, Landlord shall obtain from the Contractor
and provide Tenant a copy of a binding change order ("Change Order") setting
forth the fixed amount of increase, if any, or decrease, if any, in the GMAX and
the extension of time, if any, required in the event such Changes are
implemented. Within three (3) business days following Tenant's receipt of the
proposed Change Order, Tenant shall either approve the proposed Change Order (in
which case the Changes will be implemented promptly by the Contractor), or
disapprove the same (in which case the Changes will not be implemented).
Notwithstanding any provision of this Tenant Work Letter to the contrary, no
request for a Change or any other activity related to a Change shall constitute
a Tenant Delay unless and
EXHIBIT B - Page 4
59
until (i) the same qualifies as a Tenant Delay under Section 5.2, below, and
(ii) such Change and Change Order with respect thereto is approved in writing by
Tenant.
4.3.2 Landlord's Retention of Contractor. Landlord shall
independently retain Contractor, on behalf of Tenant, to construct the Tenant
Improvements in accordance with the Approved Working Drawings and the Cost
Proposal. Landlord shall supervise the construction by Contractor, and Tenant
shall pay a construction supervision and management fee (the "LANDLORD
SUPERVISION FEE") to Landlord in an amount equal to the product of (i) three
percent (3%) and (ii) an amount equal to the Tenant Improvement Allowance, plus
any Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance, plus the Over-Allowance Amount (as
such Over-Allowance Amount may increase pursuant to the terms of this Tenant
Work Letter).
4.3.3 Contractor's Warranties and Guaranties. Landlord hereby
assigns to Tenant all warranties and guaranties by Contractor relating to the
Tenant Improvements, and Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord
relating to, or arising out of the construction of, the Tenant Improvements.
