-3-
election, by Tenant, at Tenant's expense.

Tenant agrees to pay Landlord the Monthly Base Rent for the Premises (subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided) in advance on the first day of each calendar month during the Term without prior notice or demand, except that Tenant agrees to pay the Monthly Base Rent for the second (2nd) month of the Term directly to Landlord concurrently with Tenant's delivery of the executed Lease to Landlord. If the Term of this Lease commences or ends on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, then the rent for such period will be prorated in the proportion that the number of days this Lease is in effect during such period bears to the number of days in such month. All rent must be paid to Landlord, without any deduction or offset, in lawful money of the United States of America, at the address designated by Landlord or to such other person or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing.
- Additional Rent. All amounts and charges to be paid by Tenant hereunder, including, without limitation, payments for Operating Expenses, Real Property Taxes and Assessments, Utilities Costs, insurance, repairs and parking, will be considered additional rent for purposes of this Lease, and the word "rent" as used in this Lease will include all such additional rent unless the context specifically or clearly implies that only Monthly Base Rent is intended.
- Late Payments. Late payments of Monthly Base Rent and/or any item of additional rent will be subject to interest and a late charge as provided in Subparagraph 22(f) below.
- OPERATING EXPENSES; REAL PROPERTY TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS; UTILITIES COSTS
- Covenant to Pay. In addition to Monthly Base Rent, throughout the Term of this Lease, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord as additional rent in accordance with the terms of this Paragraph 6, the following amounts: (a) Tenant's Percentage of Operating Expenses in excess of the Expense Allowance for Operating Expenses; (b) Tenant's Percentage of Real Property Taxes and Assessments in excess of the Expense Allowance for Real Property Taxes and Assessments; and (c) Tenant's Percentage of Utilities Costs in excess of the Expense Allowance for Utilities Costs. "Operating Expenses," "Real Property Taxes and Assessments," and "Utilities Costs" shall have the meanings set forth in Exhibit "E" hereto.
- Estimate Statement. When Landlord makes a determination that Tenant must commence paying additional rent pursuant to Paragraph 6(a) above (which determination may be made retroactively provided the calculations are made in accordance with the terms of this Lease applicable thereto), and from time to time thereafter during the Term of this Lease, Landlord may deliver to Tenant a statement ("Estimate Statement") wherein Landlord will estimate some or all of the Operating Expenses, Real Property Taxes and Assessments, and Utilities Costs for the then current calendar year and Tenant's Percentage thereof. If the estimate of Tenant's Percentage of Operating Expenses, Tenant's Percentage of Real Property Taxes and Assessments, and/or Tenant's Percentage of Utilities Costs in the Estimate Statement exceeds Tenant's Expense Allowance with respect to Operating Expenses, Tenant's Expense Allowance with respect to Real Property Taxes and Assessments, and/or Tenant's Expense Allowance with respect to Utilities Costs, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, as additional rent, one-twelfth (1/12th) of such excess each month thereafter, beginning with the next installment of rent due, until such time as Landlord issues a revised Estimate Statement; except that, concurrently with the regular monthly rent payment next due following the receipt of each such Estimate Statement, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord an amount equal to one monthly installment of such excess (less any applicable Operating Expenses, Real Property Taxes and Assessments, and/or Utilities Costs already paid) multiplied by the number of months from the beginning of the applicable calendar year to the month of such rent payment next due, all months inclusive. In the event Tenant's Percentage of Operating Expenses, Tenant's Percentage of Real Property Taxes and Assessments, and/or Tenant's Percentage of Utilities Costs for any calendar year is less than Tenant's Expense Allowance with respect to Operating Expenses, Tenant's Expense Allowance with respect to Real Property Taxes and Assessments, and/or Tenant's Expense Allowance with respect to Utilities Costs, respectively, Tenant will not be entitled to a credit against any rent, additional rent or Tenant's Percentage of future Operating Expenses, Tenant's Percentage of future Real Property Taxes and Assessments, or Tenant's Percentage of future Utilities Costs payable hereunder.
- Actual Statement. Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each calendar year during the Term of this Lease following the Base Year, Landlord will deliver to Tenant a statement ("Actual Statement") which states the actual amounts incurred by Landlord for Operating Expenses, Real
-4-
Property Taxes and Assessments, and Utilities Costs for the preceding calendar year. If the Actual Statement reveals that Tenant's Percentage of any of the actual Operating Expenses, Real Property Taxes and Assessments, and/or Utilities Costs is more than the additional rent paid by Tenant individually for Operating Expenses, Real Property Taxes and Assessments, and/or Utilities Costs, respectively, on account of the preceding calendar year, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord the difference in a lump sum within ten (10) days of receipt of the Actual Statement. If the Actual Statement reveals that Tenant's Percentage of any of the actual Operating Expenses, Real Property Taxes and Assessments, and/or Utilities Costs is less than the additional rent paid by Tenant individually for Operating Expenses, Real Property Taxes and Assessments, and/or Utilities Costs, respectively, on account of the preceding calendar year, Landlord will credit any overpayment toward the next monthly installments of Tenant's Percentage of, as applicable, the Operating Expenses, Real Property Taxes and Assessments, and/or Utilities Costs due under this Lease; provided however, if this Lease has expired or terminated and Tenant was not in default of any monetary or material nonmonetary obligation under this Lease upon the occurrence thereof, then Landlord will promptly refund any such overpayment to Tenant. - Miscellaneous. Any delay or failure by Landlord in delivering any Estimate Statement or Actual Statement pursuant to this Paragraph 6 will not constitute a waiver of its right to require any payments by Tenant of additional rent nor will it relieve Tenant of its obligations pursuant to this Paragraph 6, except that Tenant will not be obligated to make any payments based on such Estimate Statement or Actual Statement until ten (10) days after receipt of such Estimate Statement or Actual Statement. Even though the Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant's Percentage of the actual Operating Expenses, actual Real Property Taxes and Assessments, and/or actual Utilities Costs for the year in which this Lease terminates, Tenant agrees to promptly pay any increase due over the estimated amounts paid and, conversely, if Tenant was not in default of any monetary or material nonmonetary obligation under this Lease upon such expiration, any overpayment made in the event said amounts decrease shall promptly be rebated by Landlord to Tenant. Such obligation will be a continuing one which will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Prior to the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term and Landlord's acceptance of Tenant's surrender of the Premises, Landlord will have the right to estimate the actual Operating Expenses, actual Real Property Taxes and Assessments, and/or actual Utilities Costs for the then calendar year and to collect from Tenant prior to Tenant's surrender of the Premises, the following: (i) Tenant's Percentage of any excess of such actual Operating Expenses, (ii) Tenant's Percentage of any excess of such actual Real Property Taxes and Assessments, and/or (iii) Tenant's Percentage of any excess of such actual Utilities Costs over the respective estimated amounts thereof paid by Tenant in such calendar year.

Nothing in this Lease will be deemed to give Tenant any exclusive right to such use in the Building or the Development.
- Compliance After Lease Commencement. At Tenant's sole cost and expense, Tenant agrees to procure, maintain and hold available for Landlord's inspection, all governmental licenses and permits required for the proper and lawful conduct of Tenant's business from the Premises, if any. Tenant agrees not to use, alter or occupy the Premises or allow the Premises to be used, altered or occupied in violation of, and Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, agrees to use and occupy the Premises and cause the Premises to be used and occupied in compliance with: (i) any and all laws, statutes, zoning restrictions, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders and rulings now or hereafter in force and any requirements of any insurer, insurance authority or duly constituted public authority having jurisdiction over the Premises, the Building or the Development now or hereafter in force, (ii) the requirements of the Board of Fire Underwriters and any other similar body, (iii) the Certificate of Occupancy issued for the Building, and (iv) any recorded covenants, conditions and restrictions and similar regulatory agreements, if any, which affect the use, occupation or alteration of the Premises, the Building and/or the Development. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant will not be responsible for the cost of any capital expenditures or alterations to the Premises required to make Tenant in compliance with any of the foregoing, except to the extent such costs or alterations are triggered by Tenant's particular use of the Premises or any Alterations made by or on behalf of Tenant. Tenant agrees to comply with the Rules and Regulations referenced in Paragraph 28 below. Tenant agrees not to do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any manner obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the Development, or injure or unreasonably annoy them, or use or allow the Premises to be used for any unlawful or unreasonably objectionable purpose. Tenant agrees not to cause, maintain or permit any nuisance or waste in, on, under or about the Premises or elsewhere within the Development. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, all transferable development rights related in any way to the Development are and will remain vested in Landlord, and Tenant hereby waives any rights thereto.

Except for ordinary and general office supplies typically used in the ordinary course of business within office buildings, such as copier toner, liquid paper, glue, ink and common household cleaning materials (some or all of which may constitute "Hazardous Materials" as defined in this Lease), Tenant agrees not to cause or permit any Hazardous Materials to be brought upon,
-5-
stored, used, handled, generated, released or disposed of on, in, under or about the Premises, the Building, the Common Areas or any other portion of the Development by Tenant, its agents, employees, subtenants, assignees, licensees, contractors or invitees (collectively, "Tenant's Parties"), without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant agrees to promptly remove from the Premises, the Building and the Development, at its sole cost and expense, any and all Hazardous Materials, including any equipment or systems containing Hazardous Materials which are installed, brought upon, stored, used, generated or released upon, in, under or about the Premises, the Building and/or the Development or any portion thereof by Tenant or any of Tenant's Parties. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant agrees to promptly indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless Landlord and Landlord's partners, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, "Landlord Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all claims, damages, judgments, suits, causes of action, losses, liabilities, penalties, fines, expenses and costs (including, without limitation, clean-up, removal, remediation and restoration costs, sums paid in settlement of claims, attorneys' fees, consultant fees and expert fees and court costs) which arise or result from the presence of Hazardous Materials on, in, under or about the Premises, the Building or any other portion of the Development and which are caused or permitted by Tenant or any of Tenant's Parties. Tenant agrees to promptly notify Landlord of any release of Hazardous Materials at the Premises, the Building or any other portion of the Development which Tenant becomes aware of during the Term of this Lease, whether caused by Tenant or any other persons or entities. In the event of any release of Hazardous Materials caused or permitted by Tenant or any of Tenant's Parties, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause Tenant to immediately take all steps Landlord deems necessary or appropriate to remediate such release and prevent any similar future release to the satisfaction of Landlord and Landlord's mortgagee(s). As used in this Lease, the term "Hazardous Materials" shall mean and include any hazardous or toxic materials, substances or wastes as now or hereafter designated under any law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, order or ruling of any agency of the State, the United States Government or any local governmental authority, including, without limitation, asbestos, petroleum, petroleum hydrocarbons and petroleum based products, urea formaldehyde foam insulation, polychlorinated biphenyls ("PCBs"), and freon and other chlorofluorocarbons. The provisions of this Subparagraph 8(c) will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Landlord represents and warrants that, to Landlord's actual knowledge, without independent inquiry or investigation whatsoever, neither the Building's base construction nor the Building standard tenant improvements contain Hazardous Materials in excess of permissible levels under applicable law. - NOTICES. Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder must be in writing and may be given by personal delivery (including delivery by overnight courier or an express mailing service) or by mail, if sent by registered or certified mail. Notices to Tenant shall be sufficient if delivered to Tenant at the address designated in Subparagraph 1(d) and notices to Landlord shall be sufficient if delivered to Landlord at the address designated in Subparagraph 1(b). Either party may specify a different address for notice purposes by written notice to the other.
- BROKERS. The parties acknowledge that the broker(s) who negotiated this Lease are stated in Subparagraph 1(t). Each party represents and warrants to the other, that, to its knowledge, no other broker, agent or finder (a) negotiated or was instrumental in negotiating or consummating this Lease on its behalf, and (b) is or might be entitled to a commission or compensation in connection with this Lease. Landlord and Tenant each agree to promptly indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless the other from and against any and all claims, damages, judgments, suits, causes of action, losses, liabilities, penalties, fines, expenses and costs (including attorneys' fees and court costs) resulting from any breach by the indemnifying party of the foregoing representation, including, without limitation, any claims that may be asserted by any broker, agent or finder undisclosed by the indemnifying party. The foregoing mutual indemnity shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
- SURRENDER; HOLDING OVER
- Surrender. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not constitute a merger, and shall, at the option of Landlord, operate as an assignment to Landlord of any or all subleases or subtenancies. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant agrees to peaceably surrender the Premises to Landlord broom clean and in a state of good order, repair and condition, ordinary wear and tear and casualty damage (if this Lease is terminated as a result thereof pursuant to Paragraph 20) excepted, with all of Tenant's personal property and Alterations (as defined in Paragraph 13) removed from the Premises to the extent required under Paragraph 13 and all damage caused by such removal repaired as required by Paragraph 13. Prior to the date Tenant is to actually surrender the Premises to Landlord, Tenant agrees to give Landlord reasonable prior notice of the exact date Tenant will surrender the Premises so that Landlord and Tenant can schedule a walk-through of the Premises to review the condition of the Premises and identify the Alterations and personal property which are to remain upon the Premises and which items Tenant is to remove, as well as any repairs Tenant is to make upon surrender of the Premises. The delivery of keys to any employee of Landlord or to Landlord's agent or any employee thereof alone will not be sufficient to constitute a termination of this Lease or a surrender of the Premises.
- Holding Over. Tenant will not be permitted to hold over possession of the Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term without the express written consent of Landlord, which consent Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion. If Tenant holds over after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Landlord may, at its option, treat Tenant as a tenant at
-6-
sufferance only, and such continued occupancy by Tenant shall be subject to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, so far as applicable, except that the Monthly Base Rent for any such holdover period shall be equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Monthly Base Rent in effect under this Lease immediately prior to such holdover, prorated on a monthly basis; provided, however, holdover rent for the first thirty (30) days of the holdover will not be prorated and a minimum of a full month's worth of holdover rent shall be due, whether Tenant holds over one (1) day or all thirty (30) days. Acceptance by Landlord of rent after such expiration or earlier termination will not result in a renewal of this Lease. The foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 11 are in addition to and do not affect Landlord's right of re-entry or any rights of Landlord under this Lease or as otherwise provided by law. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the expiration of this Lease in accordance with the terms of this Paragraph 11 despite demand to do so by Landlord, Tenant agrees to promptly indemnify, protect, defend and hold Landlord harmless from all claims, damages, judgments, suits, causes of action, losses, liabilities, penalties, fines, expenses and costs (including attorneys' fees and costs), including, without limitation, costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in returning the Premises to the condition in which Tenant was to surrender it and claims made by any succeeding tenant founded on or resulting from Tenant's failure to surrender the Premises. The provisions of this Subparagraph 11(b) will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. - TAXES ON TENANT'S PROPERTY. Tenant agrees to pay before delinquency, all taxes and assessments (real and personal) levied against any personal property or trade fixtures placed by Tenant in or about the Premises. If any such taxes or assessments are levied against Landlord or Landlord's property, Landlord may, after written notice to Tenant (and under proper protest if requested by Tenant) pay such taxes and assessments, in which event Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord all amounts paid by Landlord within ten (10) business days after demand by Landlord; provided, however, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, will have the right, with Landlord's cooperation, to bring suit in any court of competent jurisdiction to recover the amount of any such taxes and assessments so paid under protest.
- ALTERATIONS. After installation of the initial Tenant Improvements for the Premises pursuant to Exhibit "C", Tenant may, at its sole cost and expense, make alterations, additions, improvements and decorations to the Premises (collectively, "Alterations") subject to and upon the following terms and conditions:
- Prohibited Alterations. Tenant may not make any Alterations which: (i) affect any area outside the Premises; (ii) affect the Building's structure, equipment, services or systems, or the proper functioning thereof, or Landlord's access thereto; (iii) affect the outside appearance, or adversely affect the character or use of the Building or the Building Common Areas; (iv) in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, lessen the value of the Building; or (v) will violate or require a change in any occupancy certificate applicable to the Premises.
- Landlord's Approval. Before proceeding with any Alterations which are not prohibited in Subparagraph 13(a) above, Tenant must first obtain Landlord's written approval of the plans, specifications and working drawings for such Alterations, which approval Landlord will not unreasonably withhold or delay; provided, however, Landlord's prior approval will not be required for any such Alterations which are not prohibited by Subparagraph 13(a) above and which cost less than Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) as long as (i) Tenant delivers to Landlord notice and a copy of any final plans, specifications and working drawings for any such Alterations at least ten (10) days prior to commencement of the work thereof, and (ii) the other conditions of this Paragraph 13 are satisfied, including, without limitation, conforming to Landlord's rules, regulations and insurance requirements which govern contractors. Landlord's approval of plans, specifications and/or working drawings for Alterations will not create any responsibility or liability on the part of Landlord for their completeness, design sufficiency, or compliance with applicable permits, laws, rules and regulations of governmental agencies or authorities.
- Contractors. Alterations may be made or installed only by contractors and subcontractors which have been approved by Landlord, which approval Landlord will not unreasonably withhold or delay; provided, however, Landlord reserves the right to require that Landlord's contractor for the Building be given the first opportunity to bid for any Alteration work, however, Tenant reserves the right to award such Alteration work to any Landlord approved contractor or subcontractor with the lowest cost bid. Before proceeding with any Alterations, Tenant agrees to provide Landlord with ten (10) days prior written notice and Tenant's contractors must obtain and maintain, on behalf of Tenant and at Tenant's sole cost and expense: (i) all necessary governmental permits and approvals for the commencement and completion of such Alterations; and (ii) if requested by Landlord, a completion and lien indemnity bond, or other surety, reasonably satisfactory to Landlord for such Alterations, however, no lien indemnity bond or other surety will be requested so long as Tenant utilizes Landlord's contractor for such Alterations, or if the cost of such Alterations is less than $150,000.00. Throughout the performance of any Alterations, Tenant agrees to obtain, or cause its contractors to obtain, workers compensation insurance and general liability insurance in compliance with the provisions of Paragraph 19 of this Lease.
- Manner of Performance. All Alterations must be performed: (i) in accordance with the approved plans, specifications and working drawings; (ii) in a lien-free and first-class and workmanlike manner; (iii) in compliance with all applicable permits, laws, statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders and rulings now or hereafter in effect and imposed by any governmental agencies and authorities which assert jurisdiction; (iv) in such a manner so as not to interfere with the occupancy of any other tenant in the Building, nor impose any additional expense upon nor delay Landlord in the maintenance and
-7-
operation of the Building; and (v) at such times, in such manner, and subject to such rules and regulations as Landlord may from time to time reasonably designate. - Ownership. The Tenant Improvements, including, without limitation, all affixed sinks, dishwashers, microwave ovens and other fixtures, and all Alterations will become the property of Landlord and will remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises at the end of the Term of this Lease; provided, however, Landlord may, by written notice delivered to Tenant concurrently with Landlord's approval of the final working drawings for any Alterations, identify those Alterations which Landlord will require Tenant to remove at the end of the Term of this Lease. Landlord may also require Tenant to remove Alterations which Landlord did not have the opportunity to approve as provided in this Paragraph 13. If Landlord requires Tenant to remove any Alterations, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, agrees to remove the identified Alterations on or before the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease and repair any damage to the Premises caused by such removal (or, at Landlord's option, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord all of Landlord's costs of such removal and repair).
- Plan Review. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, as additional rent, the reasonable costs of professional services and costs for general conditions of Landlord's third party consultants if utilized by Landlord (but not Landlord's "in-house" personnel) for review of all plans, specifications and working drawings for any Alterations, within ten (10) business days after Tenant's receipt of invoices either from Landlord or such consultants. In addition, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, within ten (10) business days after completion of any Alterations, a fee to cover Landlord's costs of supervising and administering the installation of such Alterations, in the amount of five percent (5%) of the cost of such Alterations, but in no event less than Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250.00).
- Personal Property. All articles of personal property owned by Tenant or installed by Tenant at its expense in the Premises (including Tenant's business and trade fixtures, furniture, movable partitions and equipment [such as telephones, copy machines, computer terminals, refrigerators and facsimile machines]) will be and remain the property of Tenant, and must be removed by Tenant from the Premises, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, on or before the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Tenant agrees to repair any damage caused by such removal at its cost on or before the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
- Removal of Alterations. If Tenant fails to remove by the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease all of its personal property, or any Alterations identified by Landlord for removal at the time the Alterations were approved by Landlord, Landlord may, at its option, treat such failure as a hold-over pursuant to Subparagraph 11(b) above, and/or Landlord may (without liability to Tenant for loss thereof) treat such personal property and/or Alterations as abandoned and, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, and in addition to Landlord's other rights and remedies under this Lease, at law or in equity: (a) remove and store such items; and/or (b) upon ten (10) days prior notice to Tenant, sell, discard or otherwise dispose of all or any such items at private or public sale for such price as Landlord may obtain or by other commercially reasonable means. Tenant shall be liable for all costs of disposition of Tenant's abandoned property and Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant with respect to any such abandoned property. Landlord agrees to apply the proceeds of any sale of any such property to any amounts due to Landlord under this Lease from Tenant (including Landlord's attorneys' fees and other costs incurred in the removal, storage and/or sale of such items), with any remainder to be paid to Tenant.
- REPAIRS
- Landlord's Obligations. Landlord agrees to repair and maintain the structural portions of the Building and the plumbing, heating, ventilating, air conditioning, elevator and electrical systems installed or furnished by Landlord in the Building and the Premises, unless such maintenance and repairs are (i) attributable to items installed in Tenant's Premises which are above standard interior improvements (such as, for example, custom lighting, special HVAC and/or electrical panels or systems, kitchen or restroom facilities and appliances constructed or installed within Tenant's Premises) and identified on Exhibit "I" attached hereto, or (ii) caused in part or in whole by the act, neglect or omission of any duty by Tenant, its agents, servants, employees or invitees, in which case Tenant will pay to Landlord, as additional rent, the reasonable cost of such maintenance and repairs. Landlord will not be liable for any failure to make any such repairs or to perform any maintenance unless such failure shall persist for an unreasonable time after written notice of the need of such repairs or maintenance is given to Landlord by Tenant. Except as provided in Paragraph 20, Tenant will not be entitled to any abatement of rent and Landlord will not have any liability by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant's business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations or improvements in or to any portion of the Building or the Premises or in or to fixtures, appurtenances and equipment therein unless the same is a direct result of Landlord's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Tenant waives the right to make repairs at Landlord's expense under any law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, order or ruling (including, without limitation, to the extent the Premises are located in California, the provisions of California Civil Code Sections 1941 and 1942 and any successor statutes or laws of a similar nature).
- Tenant's Obligations. During the Term, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, maintain and preserve the Premises in good order and repair (including, without limitation, the carpet, wallcovering, doors, equipment and Alterations, but excluding the items set forth in (a) above which are the responsibility of Landlord to maintain and which are in the Premises). Any such maintenance and repairs will be performed by Landlord's contractor or another contractor selected by Tenant which is reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant agrees to pay all costs and expenses incurred in such maintenance and
-8-
repair within seven (7) days after billing by Landlord or such contractor or contractors. Tenant agrees to cause any mechanics' liens or other liens arising as a result of work performed by Tenant or at Tenant's direction to be eliminated as provided in Paragraph 15 below. Except as provided in Subparagraph 14(a) above, Landlord has no obligation to alter, remodel, improve, repair, decorate or paint the Premises or any part thereof. - Tenant's Failure to Repair. If Tenant refuses, has not commenced or neglects to repair and maintain the Premises properly as required hereunder to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord, Landlord, at any time following an unreasonable time after Landlord makes a written demand on Tenant to effect such repair and maintenance, may enter upon the Premises and make such repairs and/or maintenance, and upon completion thereof, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord as additional rent, Landlord's costs for making such repairs plus an amount not to exceed ten percent (10%) of such costs for overhead, within ten (10) days of receipt from Landlord of a written itemized xxxx therefor. Any amounts not reimbursed by Tenant within such ten (10) day period will bear interest at the Interest Rate until paid by Tenant.
- LIENS. Tenant agrees not to permit any mechanic's, materialmen's or other liens to be filed against all or any part of the Development, the Building or the Premises, nor against Tenant's leasehold interest in the Premises, by reason of or in connection with any repairs, alterations, improvements or other work contracted for or undertaken by Tenant or any other act or omission of Tenant or Tenant's agents, employees, contractors, licensees or invitees. At Landlord's request, Tenant agrees to provide Landlord with enforceable, conditional and final lien releases (or other evidence reasonably requested by Landlord to demonstrate protection from liens) from all persons furnishing labor and/or materials at the Premises. Landlord will have the right at all reasonable times to post on the Premises and record any notices of non-responsibility which it deems necessary for protection from such liens. If any such liens are filed, Tenant will, at its sole cost, promptly cause such liens to be released of record or bonded so that it no longer affects title to the Development, the Building or the Premises. If Tenant fails to cause any such liens to be so released or bonded within twenty (20) days after filing thereof, such failure will be deemed a material breach by Tenant under this Lease without the benefit of any additional notice or cure period described in Paragraph 22 below, and Landlord may, without waiving its rights and remedies based on such breach, and without releasing Tenant from any of its obligations, cause such liens to be released by any means it shall deem proper, including payment in satisfaction of the claims giving rise to such liens. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord within twenty (20) days after receipt of invoice from Landlord, any sum paid by Landlord to remove such liens, together with interest at the Interest Rate from the date of such payment by Landlord.
- ENTRY BY LANDLORD. Landlord and its employees and agents will at all times have the right to enter the Premises to inspect the same, to supply janitorial service and any other service to be provided by Landlord to Tenant hereunder, to show the Premises to prospective purchasers or tenants, to post notices of nonresponsibility, and/or to repair the Premises as permitted or required by this Lease. In exercising such entry rights, Landlord will endeavor to minimize, as reasonably practicable, the interference with Tenant's business, and will provide Tenant with reasonable advance notice of any such entry (except in emergency situations). Landlord may, in order to carry out such purposes, erect scaffolding and other necessary structures where reasonably required by the character of the work to be performed. Landlord will at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all doors in the Premises, excluding Tenant's vaults and safes. Landlord will have the right to use any and all means which Landlord may reasonably deem proper to open said doors in an emergency in order to obtain entry to the Premises. Any entry to the Premises obtained by Landlord by any of said means, or otherwise, will not be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into the Premises, or an eviction of Tenant from the Premises.
- UTILITIES AND SERVICES. Throughout the Term of the Lease so long as the Premises are occupied, Landlord agrees to furnish or cause to be furnished to the Premises the utilities and services described in the Standards for Utilities and Services attached hereto as Exhibit "F", subject to the conditions and in accordance with the standards set forth therein. Landlord may require Tenant from time to time to provide Landlord with a list of Tenant's employees and/or agents which are authorized by Tenant to subscribe on behalf of Tenant for any additional services which may be provided by Landlord. Any such additional services will be provided to Tenant at Tenant's cost. Landlord will not be liable to Tenant for any failure to furnish any of the foregoing utilities and services if such failure is caused by all or any of the following: (i) accident, breakage or repairs except to the extent caused by Landlord's negligence; (ii) strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbance or labor dispute of any character; (iii) governmental regulation, moratorium or other governmental action or inaction; (iv) inability despite the exercise of reasonable diligence to obtain electricity, water or fuel; (v) service interruptions or any other unavailability of utilities resulting from causes beyond Landlord's control, including, without limitation, any utility service provider initiated "xxxxx-out" or "black-out"; or (vi) any other cause beyond Landlord's reasonable control. In addition, in the event of any stoppage or interruption of services or utilities, Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement or reduction of rent (except as expressly provided in Subparagraphs 20(f) or 21(b) if such failure results from a damage or taking described therein), no eviction of Tenant will result from such failure and Tenant will not be relieved from the performance of any covenant or agreement in this Lease because of such failure. In the event of any failure, stoppage or interruption thereof, Landlord agrees to diligently attempt to resume service promptly. If Tenant requires or utilizes more water or electrical power than is considered reasonable or normal by Landlord, either by operating extended hours or intensive demand, Landlord may at its option require Tenant to pay, as additional rent, the cost, as fairly determined by Landlord, incurred by such extraordinary usage
-9-
(including, without limitation, costs of replacing light bulbs more often than normal and costs of extra janitorial services) and/or Landlord may install separate meter(s) for the Premises, at Tenant's sole expense, and Tenant agrees thereafter to pay all charges of the utility providing service and Landlord will make an appropriate adjustment to Tenant's Utilities Costs calculation to account for the fact Tenant is directly paying such metered charges, provided Tenant will remain obligated to pay its proportionate share of Utilities Costs subject to such adjustment. - ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND INDEMNIFICATION
- Assumption of Risk. Tenant, as a material part of the consideration to Landlord, hereby agrees that neither Landlord nor any Landlord Indemnified Parties (as defined in Subparagraph 8(c) above) will be liable to Tenant for, and Tenant expressly assumes the risk of and waives any and all claims it may have against Landlord or any Landlord Indemnified Parties (except for the grossly negligent or intentionally wrongful act or omission of Landlord or any Landlord Indemnified Parties) with respect to, (i) any and all damage to property or injury to persons in, upon or about the Premises, the Building or the Development resulting from any act or omission of Landlord, (ii) any such damage caused by other tenants or persons in or about the Building or the Development, or caused by quasi-public work, (iii) any damage to property entrusted to employees of the Building, (iv) any loss of or damage to property by theft or otherwise, or (v) any injury or damage to persons or property resulting from any casualty, explosion, falling plaster or other masonry or glass, steam, gas, electricity, water or rain which may leak from any part of the Building or any other portion of the Development or from the pipes, appliances or plumbing works therein or from the roof, street or subsurface or from any other place, or resulting from dampness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, neither Landlord nor any Landlord Indemnified Parties will be liable for consequential damages arising out of any loss of the use of the Premises or any equipment or facilities therein by Tenant or any Tenant Parties or for interference with light or other incorporeal hereditaments. Tenant agrees to give prompt notice to Landlord in case of fire or accidents in the Premises or the Building, or of defects therein or in the fixtures or equipment.
- Indemnification. Tenant will be liable for, and agrees, to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law, to indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless Landlord and all Landlord Indemnified Parties, from and against, any and all claims, damages, judgments, suits, causes of action, losses, liabilities, penalties, fines, expenses and costs, including attorneys' fees and court costs (collectively, "Indemnified Claims"), arising or resulting from (i) any act or omission of Tenant or any Tenant Parties (as defined in Subparagraph 8(c) above); (ii) the use of the Premises and Common Areas and conduct of Tenant's business by Tenant or any Tenant Parties, or any other activity, work or thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant or any Tenant Parties, in or about the Premises, the Building or elsewhere within the Development; and/or (iii) any default by Tenant of any obligations on Tenant's part to be performed under the terms of this Lease. In case any action or proceeding is brought against Landlord or any Landlord Indemnified Parties by reason of any such Indemnified Claims, Tenant, upon notice from Landlord, agrees to defend the same at Tenant's sole cost and expense by counsel approved in writing by Landlord, which approval Landlord will not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay.
- Survival; No Release of Insurers. Tenant's indemnification obligations under Subparagraph 18(b) will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Tenant's covenants, agreements and indemnification obligation in Subparagraphs 18(a) and 18(b) above, are not intended to and will not relieve any insurance carrier of its obligations under policies required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Lease.
- Indemnity by Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Paragraph 18 of, or elsewhere in, this Lease, Tenant shall not be required to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any Indemnified Claims resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord's agents, employees or contractors (except for damage to Tenant's personal property, fixtures, furniture and equipment in the Premises, to the extent Tenant is required to obtain insurance coverage therefor pursuant to the terms of this Lease), and, subject to the limitations contained in (i) the second to the last sentence of Paragraph 18(a) of this Lease, and (ii) Paragraph 35 of this Lease, Landlord agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold Tenant harmless from and against any and all such Indemnified Claims. Landlord's indemnification obligations under this paragraph will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease and are not intended to and will not relieve any insurance carrier of its obligations under policies required to be carried by Landlord and/or by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Lease. In case any action or proceeding is brought against Tenant by reason of any such Indemnified Claims, Landlord, upon notice from Tenant, agrees to defend the same at Landlord's sole cost and expense by counsel approved in writing by Tenant, which approval Tenant will not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay.
- INSURANCE
- Tenant's Insurance. On or before the earlier to occur of (i) the Commencement Date, or (ii) the date Tenant commences any work of any type in the Premises pursuant to this Lease (which may be prior to the Commencement Date), and continuing throughout the entire Term hereof and any other period of occupancy, Tenant agrees to keep in full force and effect, at its sole cost and expense, the following insurance:
- "All Risks" property insurance including at least the following perils: fire and extended coverage, smoke damage, vandalism, malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage (including earthquake sprinkler
-10-
leakage). This insurance policy must be upon all property owned by Tenant, for which Tenant is legally liable, or which is installed at Tenant's expense, and which is located in the Building including, without limitation, any Alterations, and all furniture, fittings, installations, fixtures and any other personal property of Tenant, in an amount not less than ninety percent (90%) of the full replacement cost thereof. If there is a dispute as to full replacement cost, the decision of Landlord or any mortgagee of Landlord will be presumptive. - One Hundred Eighty (180) day insurance coverage for business interruption and loss of income and extra expense insuring the same perils described in Subparagraph 19(a)(i) above, in such amounts as will reimburse Tenant for any direct or indirect loss of earnings attributable to any such perils including prevention of access to the Premises, Tenant's parking areas or the Building as a result of any such perils.
- Commercial General Liability Insurance or Comprehensive General Liability Insurance (on an occurrence form) insuring bodily injury, personal injury and property damage including the following divisions and extensions of coverage: Premises and Operations; Owners and Contractors protective; blanket contractual liability (including coverage for Tenant's indemnity obligations under this Lease); products and completed operations; and liquor liability (if Tenant serves alcohol on the Premises). Such insurance must have the following minimum limits of liability: bodily injury, personal injury and property damage - $2,000,000 each occurrence, $3,000,000 in the aggregate, provided that if liability coverage is provided by a Commercial General Liability policy the general aggregate limit shall apply separately and in total to this location only (per location general aggregate), and provided further, such minimum limits of liability may be adjusted from year to year to reflect increases in coverages as recommended by Landlord's insurance carrier as being prudent and commercially reasonable for tenants of first class office buildings comparable to the Building, rounded to the nearest five hundred thousand dollars.
- Comprehensive Automobile Liability insuring bodily injury and property damage arising from all owned and hired vehicles, if any, with minimum limits of liability of $1,000,000 per accident.
- Worker's Compensation as required by the laws of the State.
- Any other form or forms of insurance as Tenant or Landlord or any mortgagees of Landlord may reasonably require from time to time in form, in amounts, and for insurance risks against which, a prudent tenant would protect itself, but only to the extent coverage for such risks and amounts are available in the insurance market at commercially acceptable rates. Landlord makes no representation that the limits of liability required to be carried by Tenant under the terms of this Lease are adequate to protect Tenant's interests and Tenant should obtain such additional insurance or increased liability limits as Tenant deems appropriate.
- Supplemental Tenant Insurance Requirements.
- All policies must be in a form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and issued by an insurer admitted to do business in the State.
- All policies must be issued by insurers with a policyholder rating of "A" and a financial rating of "X" in the most recent version of Best's Key Rating Guide.
- All policies must contain a requirement to notify Landlord (and Landlord's property manager and any mortgagees or ground lessors of Landlord who are named as additional insureds, if any) in writing not less than thirty (30) days prior to any material change, reduction in coverage, cancellation or other termination thereof. Tenant agrees to deliver to Landlord, as soon as practicable after placing the required insurance, but in any event within the time frame specified in Subparagraph 19(a) above, certificate(s) of insurance and/or if required by Landlord, certified copies of each policy evidencing the existence of such insurance and Tenant's compliance with the provisions of this Paragraph 19. Tenant agrees to cause replacement policies or certificates to be delivered to Landlord not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any such policy or policies. If any such initial or replacement policies or certificates are not furnished within the time(s) specified herein, Tenant will be deemed to be in material default under this Lease without the benefit of any additional notice or cure period provided in Subparagraph 22(a)(iii) below, and Landlord will have the right, but not the obligation, to procure such insurance as Landlord deems necessary to protect Landlord's interests at Tenant's expense. If Landlord obtains any insurance that is the responsibility of Tenant under this Xxxxxxxxx 00, Xxxxxxxx agrees to deliver to Tenant a written statement setting forth the cost of any such insurance and showing in reasonable detail the manner in which it has been computed and Tenant agrees to promptly reimburse Landlord for such costs as additional rent.
- General Liability and Automobile Liability policies under Subparagraphs 19(a)(iii) and (iv) must name Landlord and Landlord's property manager (and at Landlord's request, Landlord's mortgagees and ground lessors of which Tenant has been informed in writing) as additional insureds and must also contain a provision that the insurance afforded by such policy is primary insurance and any insurance carried by Landlord and Landlord's property manager or Landlord's mortgagees or ground lessors, if any, will be excess over and non-contributing with Tenant's insurance.
- Tenant's Use. Tenant will not keep, use, sell or offer for sale in or upon the Premises any article which may be prohibited by any insurance policy periodically in force covering the Building or the
-00-
Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Areas. If Tenant's occupancy or business in, or on, the Premises, whether or not Landlord has consented to the same, results in any increase in premiums for the insurance periodically carried by Landlord with respect to the Building or the Development Common Areas or results in the need for Landlord to maintain special or additional insurance, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord the cost of any such increase in premiums or special or additional coverage as additional rent within ten (10) days after being billed therefor by Landlord. In determining whether increased premiums are a result of Tenant's use of the Premises, a schedule issued by the organization computing the insurance rate on the Building, the Development Common Areas or the Tenant Improvements showing the various components of such rate, will be conclusive evidence of the several items and charges which make up such rate. Tenant agrees to promptly comply with all reasonable requirements of the insurance authority or any present or future insurer relating to the Premises. - Cancellation of Landlord's Policies. If any of Landlord's insurance policies are cancelled or cancellation is threatened or the coverage reduced or threatened to be reduced in any way because of the use of the Premises or any part thereof by Tenant or any assignee or subtenant of Tenant or by anyone Tenant permits on the Premises and, if Tenant fails to remedy the condition giving rise to such cancellation, threatened cancellation, reduction of coverage, threatened reduction of coverage, increase in premiums, or threatened increase in premiums, within forty-eight (48) hours after notice thereof, Tenant will be deemed to be in material default of this Lease and Landlord may, at its option, either terminate this Lease or enter upon the Premises and attempt to remedy such condition, and Tenant shall promptly pay Landlord the reasonable costs of such remedy as additional rent. If Landlord is unable, or elects not to remedy such condition, then Landlord will have all of the remedies provided for in this Lease in the event of a default by Tenant.
- Waiver of Subrogation. Tenant's property insurance shall contain a clause whereby the insurer waives all rights of recovery by way of subrogation against Landlord. Tenant shall also obtain and furnish evidence to Landlord of the waiver by Tenant's worker's compensation insurance carrier of all rights of recovery by way of subrogation against Landlord.
- Landlord Insurance. Landlord shall carry "all risk" coverage insurance for the full replacement cost of the Building, exclusive of foundations, footings, excavation and any Alterations which Tenant is required to insure pursuant to the terms of this Lease. Landlord shall also carry commercial general liability insurance with limits of not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence, insuring against any and all liability with respect to the Building or arising out of Landlord's maintenance, use or occupancy thereof. Landlord reserves the right to carry such insurance under an "umbrella" or "blanket" policy or policies of insurance. The costs for such insurance as applicable to the Building and the Development shall constitute a component of Operating Expenses.
- DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
- Partial Destruction. If the Premises or the Building or the parking areas serving the Building are damaged by fire or other casualty to an extent not exceeding twenty-five percent (25%) of the full replacement cost thereof, and Landlord's contractor reasonably estimates in a writing delivered to Landlord and Tenant that the damage thereto may be repaired, reconstructed or restored to substantially its condition immediately prior to such damage within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of such casualty, and Landlord will receive insurance proceeds sufficient to cover the costs of such repairs, reconstruction and restoration, then Landlord agrees to commence and proceed diligently with the work of repair, reconstruction and restoration and this Lease will continue in full force and effect.
- Substantial Destruction. Any damage or destruction to the Premises or the Building which Landlord is not obligated to repair pursuant to Subparagraph 20(a) above will be deemed a substantial destruction. In the event of a substantial destruction, Landlord may elect to either (i) repair, reconstruct and restore the portion of the Building or the Premises damaged by such casualty, in which case this Lease will continue in full force and effect, subject to Tenant's termination right contained in Subparagraph 20(d) below; or (ii) terminate this Lease effective as of the date of the casualty.
- Notice. Under any of the conditions of Subparagraph 20(a) or (b) above, Landlord agrees to give written notice to Tenant of its intention to repair or terminate, as permitted in such paragraphs, within the earlier of sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such casualty, or fifteen (15) days after Landlord's receipt of the estimate from Landlord's contractor (the applicable time period to be referred to herein as the "Notice Period").
- Tenant's Termination Rights. If Landlord elects to repair, reconstruct and restore pursuant to Subparagraph 20(b)(i) hereinabove, and if Landlord's contractor estimates that as a result of such damage, Tenant cannot be given reasonable use of and access to the Premises within two hundred twenty-five (225) days after the date of such damage, then Tenant may terminate this Lease effective upon delivery of written notice to Landlord within ten (10) days after Landlord delivers notice to Tenant of its election to so repair, reconstruct or restore.
- Intentionally Omitted.
- Abatement of Rent. In the event of any damage, repair, reconstruction and/or restoration described in this Paragraph 20, rent will be abated or reduced, as the case may be, from the date of such casualty, in proportion to the degree to which Tenant's use of the Premises is impaired during such period
-12-
of repair until such use is restored. Except for abatement of rent as provided hereinabove, Tenant will not be entitled to any compensation or damages for loss of, or interference with, Tenant's business or use or access of all or any part of the Premises or for lost profits or any other consequential damages of any kind or nature, which result from any such damage, repair, reconstruction or restoration. - Inability to Complete. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph 20, if Landlord is obligated or elects to repair, reconstruct and/or restore the damaged portion of the Building or the Premises pursuant to Subparagraph 20(a) or 20(b)(i) above, but is delayed from completing such repair, reconstruction and/or restoration beyond the date which is forty-five (45) days after the date estimated by Landlord's contractor for completion thereof by reason of any causes (other than delays caused by Tenant, its subtenants, employees, agents or contractors or delays which are beyond the reasonable control of Landlord as described in Paragraph 33), then either Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease upon ten (10) days prior written notice given to the other after the expiration of such forty-five (45) day period.
- Damage Near End of Term. Landlord and Tenant shall each have the right to terminate this Lease if any damage to the Premises occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Term of this Lease where Landlord's contractor estimates in a writing delivered to Landlord and Tenant that the repair, reconstruction or restoration of such damage cannot be completed within sixty (60) days after the date of such casualty. If either party desires to terminate this Lease under this Subparagraph (h), it shall provide written notice to the other party of such election within ten (10) days after receipt of Landlord's contractor's repair estimates.
- Waiver of Termination Right. Landlord and Tenant agree that the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 20 are to govern their respective rights and obligations in the event of any damage or destruction and supersede and are in lieu of the provisions of any applicable law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, order or ruling now or hereafter in force which provide remedies for damage or destruction of leased premises (including, without limitation, to the extent the Premises are located in California, the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1932, Subsection 2, and Section 1933, Subsection 4 and any successor statute or laws of a similar nature).
- Termination. Upon any termination of this Lease under any of the provisions of this Paragraph 20, the parties will be released without further obligation to the other from the date possession of the Premises is surrendered to Landlord except for items which have accrued and are unpaid as of the date of termination and matters which are to survive any termination of this Lease as provided in this Lease.
- EMINENT DOMAIN
- Substantial Taking. If the whole of the Premises or the parking areas serving the Building, or such part thereof as shall materially interfere with Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises, as contemplated by this Lease, is taken for any public or quasi-public purpose by any lawful power or authority by exercise of the right of appropriation, condemnation or eminent domain, or sold to prevent such taking, either party will have the right to terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to such authority.
- Partial Taking; Abatement of Rent. In the event of a taking of a portion of the Premises or the parking areas serving the Building which does not materially interfere with Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises or the parking areas serving the Building, then, neither party will have the right to terminate this Lease and Landlord will thereafter proceed to make a functional unit of the remaining portion of the Premises (but only to the extent Landlord receives proceeds therefor from the condemning authority), and rent will be abated with respect to the part of the Premises which Tenant is deprived of on account of such taking. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence to the contrary, if any material part of the Building or the Development is taken (whether or not such taking substantially interferes with Tenant's use of the Premises), Landlord may terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Tenant if Landlord also terminates the leases of the other tenants of the Building which are leasing comparably sized space for comparable lease terms.
- Condemnation Award. In connection with any taking of the Premises or the Building, Landlord will be entitled to receive the entire amount of any award which may be made or given in such taking or condemnation, without deduction or apportionment for any estate or interest of Tenant, it being expressly understood and agreed by Tenant that no portion of any such award will be allowed or paid to Tenant for any so-called bonus or excess value of this Lease, and such bonus or excess value will be the sole property of Landlord. Tenant agrees not to assert any claim against Landlord or the taking authority for any compensation because of such taking (including any claim for bonus or excess value of this Lease); provided, however, if any portion of the Premises is taken, Tenant will have the right to recover from the condemning authority (but not from Landlord) any compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant for the taking of Tenant's furniture, fixtures, equipment and other personal property within the Premises, for Tenant's relocation expenses, and for any loss of goodwill or other damage to Tenant's business by reason of such taking.
- Temporary Taking. In the event of taking of the Premises or any part thereof for temporary use, (i) this Lease will remain unaffected thereby and rent will xxxxx for the duration of the taking in proportion to the extent Tenant's use of the Premises is interfered with, and (ii) Landlord will be entitled to receive
-13-
such portion or portions of any award made for such use provided that if such taking remains in force at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant will then pay to Landlord a sum equal to the reasonable cost of performing Tenant's obligations under Paragraph 11 with respect to surrender of the Premises and upon such payment Tenant will be excused from such obligations. For purpose of this Subparagraph 21(d), a temporary taking shall be defined as a taking for a period of ninety (90) days or less. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant will only be obligated to pay any amounts pursuant to this Subparagraph 21(d) if Tenant is provided reasonable access to the Premises for the purpose of removing Tenant's possessions and fulfilling its obligations under Paragraph 11, and Tenant fails to timely do so. - DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
- Defaults. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events will be deemed a default by Tenant:
- The abandonment of the Premises by Tenant, which for purposes of this Lease means any absence by Tenant from the Premises for five (5) business days or longer while in default of any other provision of this Lease and, with respect to ground floor space only, any vacation of the Premises, which for purposes of this Lease means any absence by Tenant from the Premises for thirty (30) days or longer whether or not Tenant is in default under any provision of this Lease, so long as such abandonment is not the result of acts covered by Paragraphs 20, 21 or 33 of this Lease.
- The failure by Tenant to make any payment of rent or additional rent or any other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder, as and when due, where such failure continues for a period of five (5) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that any such notice will be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under applicable law (including, without limitation, to the extent the Premises are located in California, the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 regarding unlawful detainer actions or any successor statute or law of a similar nature).
- The failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the express or implied covenants or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, other than as specified in Subparagraph 22(a)(i) or (ii) above, where such failure continues (where no other period of time is expressly provided) for a period of fifteen (15) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant. The provisions of any such notice will be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under applicable law (including, without limitation, to the extent the Premises are located in California, California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 regarding unlawful detainer actions and any successor statute or similar law). If the nature of Tenant's default is such that more than fifteen (15) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant will not be deemed to be in default if Tenant, with Landlord's concurrence, commences such cure within such fifteen (15) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.
- (A) The making by Tenant of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (B) the filing by or against Tenant of a petition to have Tenant adjudged a bankrupt or a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days); (C) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant's assets located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or (D) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant's assets located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days.
- Landlord's Remedies; Termination. In the event of any default by Tenant, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity under applicable law (including, without limitation, to the extent the Premises are located in California, the remedies of Civil Code Section 1951.4 and any successor statute or similar law, which provides that Landlord may continue this Lease in effect following Tenant's breach and abandonment and collect rent as it falls due, if Tenant has the right to sublet or assign, subject to reasonable limitations), Landlord will have the immediate right and option to terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease then, to the extent permitted under applicable law, Landlord may recover from Tenant (i) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of such termination; plus (ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rent loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (iii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rent loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which, in the ordinary course of things, results therefrom including, but not limited to: attorneys' fees and costs; brokers' commissions; the costs of refurbishment, alterations, renovation and repair of the Premises, and removal (including the repair of any damage caused by such removal) and storage (or disposal) of Tenant's personal property, equipment, fixtures, Alterations, the Tenant Improvements and any other items which Tenant is required under this Lease to remove but does not remove, as well as the unamortized value of any free rent, reduced rent, free parking, reduced rate parking and any Tenant Improvement Allowance or other costs or economic concessions provided, paid, granted or incurred by Landlord pursuant to this Lease. The unamortized value of such concessions shall be determined by taking the total value of such concessions and multiplying such value by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months of the Lease Term not yet elapsed as of the date on which the Lease is
-14-
terminated, and the denominator of which is the total number of months of the Lease Term. As used in Subparagraphs 22(b)(i) and (ii) above, the "worth at the time of award" is computed by allowing interest at the Interest Rate. As used in Subparagraph 22(b)(iii) above, the "worth at the time of award" is computed by discounting such amount at the prime rate as set by Xxxxx Fargo Bank at the time of award plus one percent (1%). - Landlord's Remedies; Re-Entry Rights. In the event of any default by Tenant, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease, at law or in equity, Landlord will also have the right, with or without terminating this Lease, to re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises; such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere and/or disposed of at the sole cost and expense of and for the account of Tenant in accordance with the provisions of Subparagraph 13(h) of this Lease or any other procedures permitted by applicable law. No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to this Subparagraph 22(c) will be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof is decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
- Landlord's Remedies; Re-Letting. In the event of the vacation or abandonment of the Premises by Tenant or in the event that Landlord elects to re-enter the Premises or takes possession of the Premises pursuant to legal proceeding or pursuant to any notice provided by law, then if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease, Landlord may from time to time, without terminating this Lease, either recover all rent as it becomes due or relet the Premises or any part thereof on terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion may deem advisable with the right to make alterations and repairs to the Premises in connection with such reletting. If Landlord elects to relet the Premises, then rents received by Landlord from such reletting will be applied: first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any cost of such reletting; third, to the payment of the cost of any alterations and repairs to the Premises incurred in connection with such reletting; fourth, to the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder and the residue, if any, will be held by Landlord and applied to payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder. Should that portion of such rents received from such reletting during any month, which is applied to the payment of rent hereunder, be less than the rent payable during that month by Tenant hereunder, then Tenant agrees to pay such deficiency to Landlord immediately upon demand therefor by Landlord. Such deficiency will be calculated and paid monthly.
- Landlord's Remedies; Performance for Tenant. All covenants and agreements to be performed by Tenant under any of the terms of this Lease are to be performed by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense and without any abatement of rent. If Tenant fails to pay any sum of money owed to any party other than Landlord, for which it is liable under this Lease, or if Tenant fails to perform any other act on its part to be performed hereunder, and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after notice thereof by Landlord, Landlord may, without waiving or releasing Tenant from its obligations, but shall not be obligated to, make any such payment or perform any such other act to be made or performed by Tenant. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord upon demand for all sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs, together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate, from the date of such payment by Landlord until reimbursed by Tenant. This remedy shall be in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord set forth in this Paragraph 22.
- Late Payment. If Tenant fails to pay any installment of rent within five (5) days after written notice from Landlord that such payment has not been received or if Tenant fails to make any other payment for which Tenant is obligated under this Lease within five (5) days after written notice from Landlord that such payment has not been received, such late amount will accrue interest at the Interest Rate and Tenant agrees to pay Landlord as additional rent such interest on such amount from the date such amount becomes due until such amount is paid. In addition, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord concurrently with such late payment amount, as additional rent, a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount due to compensate Landlord for the extra costs Landlord will incur as a result of such late payment. The parties agree that (i) it would be impractical and extremely difficult to fix the actual damage Landlord will suffer in the event of Tenant's late payment, (ii) such interest and late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the detriment that Landlord will suffer by reason of late payment by Tenant, and (iii) the payment of interest and late charges are distinct and separate in that the payment of interest is to compensate Landlord for the use of Landlord's money by Tenant, while the payment of late charges is to compensate Landlord for Landlord's processing, administrative and other costs incurred by Landlord as a result of Tenant's delinquent payments. Acceptance of any such interest and late charge will not constitute a waiver of the Tenant's default with respect to the overdue amount, or prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no late charge shall be assessed with respect to the first late payment (but not any subsequent payments) of Monthly Base Rent or any other amounts payable by Tenant during the first twelve (12) months of the Lease, unless Tenant fails to make such payment within ten (10) days after written notice from Landlord.
- Rights and Remedies Cumulative. All rights, options and remedies of Landlord contained in this Lease will be construed and held to be cumulative, and no one of them will be exclusive of the other, and Landlord shall have the right to pursue any one or all of such remedies or any other remedy or relief which may be provided by law or in equity, whether or not stated in this Lease. Nothing in this Paragraph 22 will be deemed to limit or otherwise affect Tenant's indemnification of Landlord pursuant to any provision of this Lease.
- LANDLORD'S DEFAULT. Landlord will not be in default in the performance of any obligation required to be performed by Landlord under this Lease unless Landlord fails to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after the receipt of written notice from Tenant specifying in detail Landlord's failure to perform; provided however, that if the nature of Landlord's obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for performance, then Landlord will not be deemed in default if it commences such performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues the same to completion. Upon any default by Landlord, Tenant may exercise any of its rights provided at law or in equity, subject to the limitations on liability set forth in Paragraph 35 of this Lease.
- ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
- Restriction on Transfer. Except as expressly provided in this Paragraph 24, Tenant will not, either voluntarily or by operation of law, assign or encumber this Lease or any interest herein or sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use or occupancy of the Premises by any party other than Tenant (any such assignment, encumbrance, sublease or the like will sometimes be referred to as a "Transfer"), without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent Landlord will not unreasonably withhold.
- Corporate and Partnership Transfers. For purposes of this Paragraph 24, if Tenant is a corporation, partnership or other entity, any transfer, assignment, encumbrance or hypothecation of twenty-five percent (25%) or more (individually or in the aggregate) of any stock or other ownership interest in such entity, and/or any transfer, assignment, hypothecation or encumbrance of any controlling ownership or voting interest in such entity, will be deemed a Transfer and will be subject to all of the restrictions and provisions contained in this Paragraph 24. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the immediately preceding sentence will not apply to any transfers of stock of Tenant if Tenant is a publicly-held corporation.
- Permitted Controlled Transfers. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Paragraph 24 to the contrary, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or any portion thereof ("Permitted Transfer"), without Landlord's consent and without extending any sublease termination option to Landlord, to any parent, subsidiary or affiliate corporation which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant, or to any corporation resulting from a merger or consolidation with Tenant, or to any person or entity which acquires all the assets of Tenant's business as a going concern, provided that: (i) at least twenty (20) days prior to such assignment or sublease, Tenant delivers to Landlord the financial statements and other financial and background information of the assignee or sublessee described in Subparagraph 24(d) below; (ii) if an assignment, the assignee assumes, in full, the obligations of Tenant under this Lease (or if a sublease, the sublessee of a portion of the Premises or Term assumes, in full, the obligations of Tenant with respect to such portion); (iii) the financial net worth (in the form of stockholder's equity) of the assignee immediately after the effective date of the proposed assignment exceeds One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000); (iv) Tenant remains fully liable under this Lease; and (v) the use of the Premises under Paragraph 8 remains unchanged.
- Transfer Notice. If Tenant desires to effect a Transfer, then at least thirty (30) days prior to the date when Tenant desires the Transfer to be effective (the "Transfer Date"), Tenant agrees to give Landlord a notice (the "Transfer Notice"), stating the name, address and business of the proposed assignee, sublessee or other transferee (sometimes referred to hereinafter as "Transferee"), reasonable information (including references) concerning the character, ownership, and financial condition of the proposed Transferee, the Transfer Date, any ownership or commercial relationship between Tenant and the proposed Transferee, and the consideration and all other material terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer, all in such detail as Landlord may reasonably require. If Landlord reasonably requests additional detail, the Transfer Notice will not be deemed to have been received until Landlord receives such additional detail, and Landlord may withhold consent to any Transfer until such information is provided to it.
- Landlord's Options. Within fifteen (15) days of Landlord's receipt of any Transfer Notice, and any additional information requested by Landlord concerning the proposed Transferee's financial responsibility, Landlord will elect to do one of the following (i) consent to the proposed Transfer; (ii) refuse such consent, which refusal shall be on reasonable grounds including, without limitation, those set forth in Subparagraph 24(f) below; or (iii) terminate this Lease as to all or such portion of the Premises which is proposed to be sublet or assigned and recapture all or such portion of the Premises for reletting by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in Subparagraph 24(i) below, Landlord shall have no right to terminate this Lease as to all of the Premises in connection with a sublease or subleases, in the aggregate, for less than fifty percent (50%) of the Rentable Square Feet of the Premises.
- Reasonable Disapproval. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge that Landlord's disapproval of any proposed Transfer pursuant to Subparagraph 24(e) will be deemed reasonably withheld if based upon any reasonable factor, including, without limitation, any or all of the following factors: (i) the proposed Transferee is a governmental entity; (ii) the portion of the Premises to be sublet or assigned is irregular in shape with inadequate means of ingress and egress; (iii) the use of the Premises by the Transferee (A) is not permitted by the use provisions in Paragraph 8 hereof, (B) violates any exclusive use granted by Landlord to another tenant in the Building, or (C) otherwise poses a risk of increased liability to Landlord; (iv) the Transfer would likely result in a significant and inappropriate increase in the use of the parking areas or Development Common Areas by the Transferee's employees
-16-
or visitors, and/or significantly increase the demand upon utilities and services to be provided by Landlord to the Premises; (v) the Transferee is not in Landlord's reasonable opinion consistent with Landlord's desired tenant mix; or (vi) the Transferee poses a business or other economic risk which Landlord deems unacceptable. - Additional Conditions. A condition to Landlord's consent to any Transfer of this Lease will be the delivery to Landlord of a true copy of the fully executed instrument of assignment, sublease, transfer or hypothecation, and, in the case of an assignment, the delivery to Landlord of an agreement executed by the Transferee in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, whereby the Transferee assumes and agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Lease and to perform all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder. As a condition for granting its consent to any assignment or sublease, Landlord may require that the assignee or sublessee remit directly to Landlord on a monthly basis, all monies due to Tenant by said assignee or sublessee. As a condition to Landlord's consent to any sublease, such sublease must provide that it is subject and subordinate to this Lease and to all mortgages; that Landlord may enforce the provisions of the sublease, including collection of rent; that in the event of termination of this Lease for any reason, including without limitation a voluntary surrender by Tenant, or in the event of any reentry or repossession of the Premises by Landlord, Landlord may, at its option, either (i) terminate the sublease, or (ii) take over all of the right, title and interest of Tenant, as sublessor, under such sublease, in which case such sublessee will attorn to Landlord, but that nevertheless Landlord will not (1) be liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under such sublease, (2) be subject to any defense or offset previously accrued in favor of the sublessee against Tenant, or (3) be bound by any previous modification of any sublease made without Landlord's written consent, or by any previous prepayment by sublessee of more than one month's rent.
- Excess Rent. If Landlord consents to any assignment of this Lease, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, as additional rent, fifty percent (50%) of all sums and other consideration payable to and for the benefit of Tenant by the assignee on account of the assignment, as and when such sums and other consideration are due and payable by the assignee to or for the benefit of Tenant (or, if Landlord so requires, and without any release of Tenant's liability for the same, Tenant agrees to instruct the assignee to pay such sums and other consideration directly to Landlord). If for any sublease, Tenant receives rent or other consideration, either initially or over the term of the sublease, in excess of the rent fairly allocable to the portion of the Premises which is subleased based on square footage, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord as additional rent fifty percent (50%) of the excess of each such payment of rent or other consideration received by Tenant promptly after its receipt. In calculating excess rent or other consideration which may be payable to Landlord under this paragraph, Tenant will be entitled to deduct (i) commercially reasonable third party brokerage commissions (ii) attorneys' fees, (iii) the cost of any furniture and services, tenant improvement allowance or any other reasonable rent concession provided by Tenant to its sublessee and (iv) other amounts reasonably and actually expended by Tenant in connection with such assignment or subletting if acceptable written evidence of such expenditures is provided to Landlord.
- Termination Rights. If Tenant requests Landlord's consent to any assignment or subletting of all or a portion of the Premises, Landlord will have the right, as provided in Subparagraph 24(e), to terminate this Lease as to all or such portion of the Premises which is proposed to be sublet or assigned effective as of the date Tenant proposes to sublet or assign all or less than all of the Premises. Landlord's right to terminate this Lease as to less than all of the Premises proposed to be sublet or assigned will not terminate as to any future additional subletting or assignment as a result of Landlord's consent to a subletting of less than all of the Premises or Landlord's failure to exercise its termination right with respect to any subletting or assignment. Landlord will exercise such termination right, if at all, by giving written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days of receipt by Landlord of the financial responsibility information required by this Paragraph 24. Tenant understands and acknowledges that the option, as provided in this Paragraph 24, to terminate this Lease as to all or such portion of the Premises which is proposed to be sublet or assigned rather than approve the subletting or assignment of all or a portion of the Premises, is a material inducement for Landlord's agreeing to lease the Premises to Tenant upon the terms and conditions herein set forth. In the event of any such termination with respect to less than all of the Premises, the cost of segregating the recaptured space from the balance of the Premises will be paid by Landlord and Tenant's future monetary obligations under this Lease will be reduced proportionately on a square footage basis to correspond to the balance of the Premises which Tenant continues to lease.
- No Release. No Transfer will release Tenant of Tenant's obligations under this Lease or alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay the rent and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. Landlord may require that any Transferee remit directly to Landlord on a monthly basis, all monies due Tenant by said Transferee. However, the acceptance of rent by Landlord from any other person will not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof. Consent by Landlord to one Transfer will not be deemed consent to any subsequent Transfer. In the event of default by any Transferee of Tenant or any successor of Tenant in the performance of any of the terms hereof, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against such Transferee or successor. Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments of this Lease or sublettings or amendments or modifications to this Lease with assignees of Tenant, without notifying Tenant, or any successor of Tenant, and without obtaining its or their consent thereto and any such actions will not relieve Tenant of liability under this Lease.
- Administrative and Attorneys' Fees. If Tenant effects a Transfer or requests the consent of Landlord to any Transfer (whether or not such Transfer is consummated), then, upon demand, Tenant
-17-
agrees to pay Landlord a non-refundable administrative fee of Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250.00), plus any reasonable attorneys' and paralegal fees incurred by Landlord in connection with such Transfer or request for consent (whether attributable to Landlord's in-house attorneys or paralegals or otherwise) not to exceed Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00). Acceptance of the Two Hundred Fifty Dollar ($250.00) administrative fee and/or reimbursement of Landlord's attorneys' and paralegal fees will in no event obligate Landlord to consent to any proposed Transfer. - SUBORDINATION. Without the necessity of any additional document being executed by Tenant for the purpose of effecting a subordination, and at the election of Landlord or any mortgagee or beneficiary with a deed of trust encumbering the Building and/or the Development, or any lessor of a ground or underlying lease with respect to the Building, this Lease will be subject and subordinate at all times to: (i) all ground leases or underlying leases which may now exist or hereafter be executed affecting the Building; and (ii) the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust which may now exist or hereafter be executed for which the Building, the Development or any leases thereof, or Landlord's interest and estate in any of said items, is specified as security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord reserves the right to subordinate any such ground leases or underlying leases or any such liens to this Lease. If any such ground lease or underlying lease terminates for any reason or any such mortgage or deed of trust is foreclosed or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure is made for any reason, at the election of Landlord's successor in interest, Tenant agrees to attorn to and become the tenant of such successor in which event Tenant's right to possession of the Premises will not be disturbed as long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease. Tenant hereby waives its rights under any law which gives or purports to give Tenant any right to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of Tenant hereunder in the event of any such foreclosure proceeding or sale. Tenant covenants and agrees to execute and deliver, upon demand by Landlord and in the form reasonably required by Landlord, any additional documents evidencing the priority or subordination of this Lease and Tenant's attornment agreement with respect to any such ground lease or underlying leases or the lien of any such mortgage or deed of trust. If Tenant fails to sign and return any such documents within fifteen (15) days of receipt, Tenant will be in default hereunder, except in the event that Tenant can reasonably demonstrate that such documents are not accurate or complete. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant's agreement to subordinate this Lease to any future mortgages or deeds of trust and Tenant's agreement to attorn to and recognize as Tenant's landlord under this Lease, the holder of any future mortgage or deed of trust is conditioned upon the delivery to Tenant of a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement executed by the Mortgagee in favor of Tenant on such Mortgagee's customary form.
- ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE
- Tenant's Obligations. Within fifteen (15) days following any written request which Landlord may make from time to time, Tenant agrees to execute and deliver to Landlord a statement, in a form substantially similar to the form of Exhibit "G" attached hereto or as may reasonably be required by Landlord's lender, certifying: (i) the date of commencement of this Lease; (ii) the fact that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect, and stating the date and nature of such modifications); (iii) the date to which the rent and other sums payable under this Lease have been paid; (iv) that there are no current defaults under this Lease by either Landlord or Tenant except as specified in Tenant's statement; and (v) such other matters reasonably requested by Landlord. Landlord and Tenant intend that any statement delivered pursuant to this Paragraph 26 may be relied upon by any mortgagee, beneficiary, purchaser or prospective purchaser of the Building or any interest therein.
- Tenant's Failure to Deliver. Tenant's failure to deliver such statement within such time will be conclusive upon Tenant (i) that this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord, (ii) that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord's performance, and (iii) that not more than one (1) month's rent has been paid in advance. Without limiting the foregoing, if Tenant fails to deliver any such statement within such fifteen (15) day period, Landlord may deliver to Tenant an additional request for such statement and Tenant's failure to deliver such statement to Landlord within ten (10) days after delivery of such additional request will constitute a default under this Lease. Tenant's obligations under this Paragraph 26 shall not apply to the extent that Tenant can reasonably show that the statement presented to Tenant by Landlord for approval is inaccurate.
- BUILDING PLANNING. If Landlord requires any premises other than the initial Premises leased by Tenant hereunder (e.g., any expansion space leased by Tenant subsequent to the date of this Lease) for use in conjunction with another suite or for other reasons connected with the planning program for the Building, Landlord will have the right, upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to Tenant, to move Tenant to other space in the Development of substantially similar size as the Premises, and with tenant improvements of substantially similar age, quality and layout as then existing in the Premises. Any such relocation will be at Landlord's cost and expense, including the cost of providing such substantially similar tenant improvements (but not any furniture or personal property) and Tenant's reasonable moving, telephone and network installation and stationery reprinting costs. If Landlord so relocates Tenant, the terms and conditions of this Lease will remain in full force and effect and apply to the new space, except that (a) a revised Exhibit "A-II" will become part of this Lease and will reflect the location of the new space, (b) Paragraph 1 of this Lease will be amended to include and state all correct data as to the new space, (c) the new space will thereafter be deemed to be the "Premises", and (d) all economic terms and conditions (e.g. rent, total Expense Allowance, etc.) will be adjusted on a per square foot basis based on the total number of Rentable Square Feet of area contained in the new space. Landlord and Tenant agree to cooperate fully with one another in order to minimize the inconvenience of Tenant resulting from
-18-
any such relocation. However, if the new space does not meet with Tenant's reasonable approval, Tenant will have the right to cancel this Lease upon giving Landlord thirty (30) days notice within ten (10) days of receipt of Landlord's relocation notification; provided, however, Landlord has the right, by written notice to Tenant given within ten (10) days following receipt of Tenant's cancellation notice to rescind Landlord's relocation notice, in which event Landlord's relocation notice will be rescinded, Tenant's cancellation notice will be cancelled and this Lease will remain in full force and effect. If Tenant cancels this Lease pursuant to this Xxxxxxxxx 00, Xxxxxx agrees to vacate the Building and the Premises within thirty (30) days of its delivery to Landlord of the notice of cancellation.
- RULES AND REGULATIONS. Tenant agrees to faithfully observe and comply with the "Rules and Regulations," a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference as Exhibit "H", and all reasonable and nondiscriminatory modifications thereof and additions thereto from time to time put into effect by Landlord. Landlord will not be responsible to Tenant for the violation or non-performance by any other tenant or occupant of the Building of any of the Rules and Regulations.
- MODIFICATION AND CURE RIGHTS OF LANDLORD'S MORTGAGEES AND LESSORS
- Modifications. If, in connection with Landlord's obtaining or entering into any financing or ground lease for any portion of the Building or the Development, the lender or ground lessor requests modifications to this Lease, Tenant, within thirty (30) days after request therefor, agrees to execute an amendment to this Lease incorporating such modifications, provided such modifications are reasonable and do not increase the obligations of Tenant under this Lease or adversely affect the leasehold estate created by this Lease.
- Cure Rights. In the event of any default on the part of Landlord, Tenant will give notice by registered or certified mail to any beneficiary of a deed of trust or mortgage covering the Premises or ground lessor of Landlord whose address has been furnished to Tenant, and Tenant agrees to offer such beneficiary, mortgagee or ground lessor a reasonable opportunity to cure the default (including with respect to any such beneficiary or mortgagee, time to obtain possession of the Premises, subject to this Lease and Tenant's rights hereunder, by power of sale or a judicial foreclosure, if such should prove necessary to effect a cure).
- DEFINITION OF LANDLORD. The term "Landlord," as used in this Lease, so far as covenants or obligations on the part of Landlord are concerned, means and includes only the owner or owners, at the time in question, of the fee title of the Premises or the lessees under any ground lease, if any. In the event of any transfer, assignment or other conveyance or transfers of any such title (other than a transfer for security purposes only), Landlord herein named (and in case of any subsequent transfers or conveyances, the then grantor) will be automatically relieved from and after the date of such transfer, assignment or conveyance of all liability as respects the performance of any covenants or obligations on the part of Landlord contained in this Lease thereafter to be performed, so long as the transferee assumes in writing all such covenants and obligations of Landlord arising after the date of such transfer. Landlord and Landlord's transferees and assignees have the absolute right to transfer all or any portion of their respective title and interest in the Development, the Building, the Premises and/or this Lease without the consent of Tenant, and such transfer or subsequent transfer will not be deemed a violation on Landlord's part of any of the terms and conditions of this Lease.
- WAIVER. The waiver by either party of any breach of any term, covenant or condition herein contained will not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained, nor will any custom or practice which may develop between the parties in the administration of the terms hereof be deemed a waiver of or in any way affect the right of either party to insist upon performance in strict accordance with said terms. The subsequent acceptance of rent or any other payment hereunder by Landlord will 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 by Landlord of a lesser sum than the basic rent and additional rent or other sum then due will be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest installment of such rent or other amount due, nor will any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such installment or other amount or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease. The consent or approval of Landlord to or of any act by Tenant requiring Landlord's consent or approval will not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary Landlord's consent or approval to or of any subsequent similar acts by Tenant.
- PARKING
- Grant of Parking Rights. So long as this Lease is in effect and provided Tenant is not in default hereunder, Landlord grants to Tenant and Tenant's Authorized Users (as defined below) a license to use the number and type of parking spaces designated in Subparagraph 1(s) subject to the terms and conditions of this Paragraph 32 and the Rules and Regulations regarding parking contained in Exhibit "H" attached hereto. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Subparagraph 1(s), as consideration for the use of such parking spaces, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord or, at Landlord's election, directly to Landlord's parking operator, as additional rent under this Lease, the prevailing parking rate for each such parking space as established by Landlord in its discretion from time to time. Tenant agrees that all parking charges will be payable on a monthly basis concurrently with each monthly payment of Monthly
-19-
Base Rent. Tenant agrees to submit to Landlord or, at Landlord's election, directly to Landlord's parking operator with a copy to Landlord, written notice in a form reasonably specified by Landlord containing the names, home and office addresses and telephone numbers of those persons who are authorized by Tenant to use Tenant's parking spaces on a monthly basis ("Tenant's Authorized Users") and shall use its best efforts to identify each vehicle of Tenant's Authorized Users by make, model and license number. Tenant agrees to deliver such notice prior to the beginning of the Term of this Lease and to periodically update such notice as well as upon specific request by Landlord or Landlord's parking operator to reflect changes to Tenant's Authorized Users or their vehicles. - Visitor Parking. So long as this Lease is in effect, Tenant's visitors and guests will be entitled to use those specific parking areas which are designated for short term visitor parking and which are located within the surface parking area(s), if any, and/or within the parking structure(s) which serve the Building. Visitor parking will be made available at a charge to Tenant's visitors and guests, with the rate being established by Landlord in its discretion from time to time. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, may elect to validate such parking for its visitors and guests. All such visitor parking will be on a non-exclusive, in common basis with all other visitors and guests of the Development.
- Use of Parking Spaces. Tenant will not use or allow any of Tenant's Authorized Users to use any parking spaces which have been specifically assigned by Landlord to other tenants or occupants or for other uses such as visitor parking or which have been designated by any governmental entity as being restricted to certain uses. Tenant will not be entitled to increase or reduce its parking privileges applicable to the Premises during the Term of the Lease except as follows: If at any time Tenant desires to increase or reduce the number of parking spaces allocated to it under the terms of this Lease, Tenant must notify Landlord in writing of such desire and Landlord will have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to either (a) approve such requested increase in the number of parking spaces allocated to Tenant (with an appropriate increase to the additional rent payable by Tenant for such additional spaces based on the then prevailing parking rates), (b) approve such requested decrease in the number of parking spaces allocated to Tenant (with an appropriate reduction in the additional rent payable by Tenant for such eliminated parking spaces based on the then prevailing parking rates), or (c) disapprove such requested increase or decrease in the number of parking spaces allocated to Tenant. Promptly following receipt of Tenant's written request, Landlord will provide Tenant with written notice of its decision including a statement of any adjustments to the additional rent payable by Tenant for parking under the Lease, if applicable.
- General Provisions. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Subparagraph 1(s), Landlord reserves the right to set and increase monthly fees and/or daily and hourly rates for parking privileges from time to time during the Term of the Lease. Landlord may assign any unreserved and unassigned parking spaces and/or make all or any portion of such spaces reserved, if Landlord reasonably determines that it is necessary for orderly and efficient parking or for any other reasonable reason. Failure to pay the rent for any particular parking spaces or failure to comply with any terms and conditions of this Lease applicable to parking may be treated by Landlord as a default under this Lease and, in addition to all other remedies available to Landlord under the Lease, at law or in equity, Landlord may elect to recapture such parking spaces for the balance of the Term of this Lease if Tenant does not cure such failure within the applicable cure period set forth in Paragraph 22 of this Lease. In such event, Tenant and Tenant's Authorized Users will be deemed visitors for purposes of parking space use and will be entitled to use only those parking areas specifically designated for visitor parking subject to all provisions of this Lease applicable to such visitor parking use. Except in connection with an assignment or sublease expressly permitted under the terms of this Lease, Tenant's parking rights and privileges described herein are personal to Tenant and may not be assigned or transferred, or otherwise conveyed, without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion. In any event, under no circumstances may Tenant's parking rights and privileges be transferred, assigned or otherwise conveyed separate and apart from Tenant's interest in this Lease.
- Cooperation with Traffic Mitigation Measures. Tenant agrees to use its reasonable, good faith efforts to cooperate in traffic mitigation programs which may be undertaken by Landlord independently, or in cooperation with local municipalities or governmental agencies or other property owners in the vicinity of the Building. Such programs may include, but will not be limited to, carpools, vanpools and other ridesharing programs, public and private transit, flexible work hours, preferential assigned parking programs and programs to coordinate tenants within the Development with existing or proposed traffic mitigation programs.
- Parking Rules and Regulations. Tenant and Tenant's Authorized Users shall comply with all rules and regulations regarding parking set forth in Exhibit "H" attached hereto and Tenant agrees to cause its employees, subtenants, assignees, contractors, suppliers, customers and invitees to comply
-20-
with such rules and regulations. Landlord reserves the right from time to time to modify and/or adopt such other reasonable and non-discriminatory rules and regulations for the parking facilities as it deems reasonably necessary for the operation of the parking facilities. - FORCE MAJEURE. If either Landlord or Tenant is delayed, hindered in or prevented from the performance of any act required under this Lease by reason of strikes, lock-outs, labor troubles, inability to procure standard materials, failure of power, restrictive governmental laws, regulations or orders or governmental action or inaction (including failure, refusal or delay in issuing permits, approvals and/or authorizations which is not the result of the action or inaction of the party claiming such delay), riots, civil unrest or insurrection, war, fire, earthquake, flood or other natural disaster, unusual and unforeseeable delay which results from an interruption of any public utilities (e.g., electricity, gas, water, telephone) or other unusual and unforeseeable delay not within the reasonable control of the party delayed in performing work or doing acts required under the provisions of this Lease, then performance of such act will be excused for the period of the delay and the period for the performance of any such act will be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay. The provisions of this Paragraph 33 will not operate to excuse Tenant from prompt payment of rent or any other payments required under the provisions of this Lease.
- SIGNS. Landlord will designate the location on the Premises for one Tenant identification sign. Tenant agrees to have Landlord install and maintain Tenant's identification sign in such designated location in accordance with this Paragraph 34 at Tenant's sole cost and expense. Tenant has no right to install Tenant identification signs in any other location in, on or about the Premises or the Development and will not display or erect any other signs, displays or other advertising materials that are visible from the exterior of the Building or from within the Building in any interior or exterior common areas. The size, design, color and other physical aspects of any and all permitted sign(s) will be subject to (i) Landlord's written approval prior to installation, which approval may be withheld in Landlord's discretion, (ii) any covenants, conditions or restrictions governing the Premises, and (iii) any applicable municipal or governmental permits and approvals. Tenant will be solely responsible for all costs for installation, maintenance, repair and removal of any Tenant identification sign(s). If Tenant fails to remove Tenant's sign(s) upon termination of this Lease and repair any damage caused by such removal, Landlord may do so at Tenant's sole cost and expense. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for all costs incurred by Landlord to effect any installation, maintenance or removal on Tenant's account, which amount will be deemed additional rent, and may include, without limitation, all sums disbursed, incurred or deposited by Landlord including Landlord's costs, expenses and actual attorneys' fees with interest thereon at the Interest Rate from the date of Landlord's demand until paid by Tenant. Any sign rights granted to Tenant under this Lease are personal to Tenant and may not be assigned, transferred or otherwise conveyed to any assignee or subtenant of Tenant without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion.
- LIMITATION ON LIABILITY. In consideration of the benefits accruing hereunder, Tenant on behalf of itself and all successors and assigns of Tenant covenants and agrees that, in the event of any actual or alleged failure, breach or default hereunder by Landlord: (a) Tenant's recourse against Landlord for monetary damages will be limited to Landlord's interest in the Building including, subject to the prior rights of any Mortgagee, Landlord's interest in the rents of the Building and any insurance proceeds payable to Landlord; (b) Except as may be necessary to secure jurisdiction of the partnership or company, no partner or member of Landlord shall be sued or named as a party in any suit or action and no service of process shall be made against any partner or member of Landlord; (c) No partner or member of Landlord shall be required to answer or otherwise plead to any service of process; (d) No judgment will be taken against any partner or member of Landlord and any judgment taken against any partner or member of Landlord may be vacated and set aside at any time after the fact; (e) No writ of execution will be levied against the assets of any partner or member of Landlord; (f) The obligations under this Lease do not constitute personal obligations of the individual members, partners, directors, officers or shareholders of Landlord, and Tenant shall not seek recourse against the individual members, partners, directors, officers or shareholders of Landlord or any of their personal assets for satisfaction of any liability in respect to this Lease; and (g) These covenants and agreements are enforceable both by Landlord and also by any partner or member of Landlord.
- FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Prior to the execution of this Lease by Landlord and at any time during the Term of this Lease upon ten (10) days prior written notice from Landlord, Tenant agrees to provide Landlord with a current financial statement for Tenant and any guarantors of Tenant and financial statements for the two (2) years prior to the current financial statement year for Tenant and any guarantors of Tenant. Such statements are to be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and, if such is the normal practice of Tenant, audited by an independent certified public accountant.
- QUIET ENJOYMENT. Landlord covenants and agrees with Tenant that upon Tenant paying the rent required under this Lease and paying all other charges and performing all of the covenants and provisions on Tenant's part to be observed and performed under this Lease, Tenant may peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises in accordance with this Lease without hindrance or molestation by Landlord or its employees or agents. To the extent that there is a deed of trust or ground lease superior in priority to the Lease as of the date of this Lease, Landlord shall disclose such fact to Tenant, and Tenant, Landlord and any such mortgagee or beneficiary of such deed of trust shall enter into a non-disturbance and attornment agreement on such mortgagee's or beneficiary's customary form of non-disturbance and attornment agreement on or before the Commencement Date.
- MISCELLANEOUS
- Conflict of Laws. This Lease shall be governed by and construed solely pursuant to the laws of the State, without giving effect to choice of law principles thereunder.
- Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, all of the covenants, conditions and provisions of this Lease shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.
- Professional Fees and Costs. If either Landlord or Tenant should bring suit against the other with respect to this Lease, then all costs and expenses, including without limitation, actual professional fees and costs such as appraisers', accountants' and attorneys' fees and costs, incurred by the party which prevails in such action, whether by final judgment or out of court settlement, shall be paid by the other party, which obligation on the part of the other party shall be deemed to have accrued on the date of the commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or not the action is prosecuted to judgment. As used herein, attorneys' fees and costs shall include, without limitation, attorneys' fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with any (i) postjudgment motions; (ii) contempt proceedings; (iii) garnishment, levy, and debtor and third party examination; (iv) discovery; and (v) bankruptcy litigation.
- Terms and Headings. The words "Landlord" and "Tenant" as used herein shall include the plural as well as the singular. Words used in any gender include other genders. The paragraph headings of this Lease are not a part of this Lease and shall have no effect upon the construction or interpretation of any part hereof.
- Time. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of every provision of this Lease in which time of performance is a factor.
- Prior Agreement; Amendments. This Lease constitutes and is intended by the parties to be a final, complete and exclusive statement of their entire agreement with respect to the subject matter of this Lease. This Lease supersedes any and all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings of any kind relating to the subject matter of this Lease. There are no other agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, or statements, either oral or in written form, concerning the subject matter of this Lease. No alteration, modification, amendment or interpretation of this Lease shall be binding on the parties unless contained in a writing which is signed by both parties.
- Separability. The provisions of this Lease shall be considered separable such that if any provision or part of this Lease is ever held to be invalid, void or illegal under any law or ruling, all remaining provisions of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect to the maximum extent permitted by law.
- Recording. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall record this Lease nor a short form memorandum thereof without the consent of the other.
- Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which shall be one and the same agreement.
- Nondisclosure of Lease Terms. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this Lease are confidential and constitute proprietary information of Landlord. Disclosure of the terms could adversely affect the ability of Landlord to negotiate other leases and impair Landlord's relationship with other tenants. Accordingly, Tenant agrees that it, and its partners, officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys, shall not intentionally and voluntarily disclose the terms and conditions of this Lease to any newspaper or other publication or any other tenant or apparent prospective tenant of the Building or other portion of the Development, or real estate agent, either directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Landlord, provided, however, that Tenant may disclose the terms to prospective subtenants or assignees under this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, since Tenant is a publicly traded corporation subject to the jurisdiction of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and as such may be required to file this Lease with the SEC and disclose certain terms of this Lease in its financial statements filed with the SEC, Landlord authorizes Tenant to disclose the terms of this Lease to the SEC to the extent required by same.
- Non-Discrimination. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that there shall be no discrimination against, or segregation of, any person, group of persons, or entity on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, age, sex, marital status, national origin, or ancestry in the leasing, subleasing, transferring, assignment, occupancy, tenure, use, or enjoyment of the Premises, or any portion thereof.
- EXECUTION OF LEASE
- Joint and Several Obligations. If more than one person executes this Lease as Tenant, their execution of this Lease will constitute their covenant and agreement that (i) each of them is jointly and severally liable for the keeping, observing and performing of all of the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements of this Lease to be kept, observed and performed by Tenant, and (ii) the term "Tenant" as used in this Lease means and includes each of them jointly and severally. The act of or notice from, or notice or refund to, or the signature of any one or more of them, with respect to the tenancy of this Lease, including, but not limited to, any renewal, extension, expiration, termination or
-22-
modification of this Lease, will be binding upon each and all of the persons executing this Lease as Tenant with the same force and effect as if each and all of them had so acted or so given or received such notice or refund or so signed. - Tenant as Corporation or Partnership. If Tenant executes this Lease as a corporation or partnership, then Tenant represents and warrants that such entity is duly qualified and in good standing to do business in California and that the individuals executing this Lease on Tenant's behalf are duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on its behalf.
- Examination of Lease. Submission of this instrument by Landlord to Tenant for examination or signature by Tenant does not constitute a reservation of or option for lease, and it is not effective as a lease or otherwise until execution by and delivery to both Landlord and Tenant.

No changes will occur until Tenant provides a new statement and until then, Landlord (or its parking operator) will be entitled to rely on the last statement furnished by Tenant. The failure to use all authorized parking spaces allowed for under Paragraph 1(s) of this Lease for any period will not be considered a request to decrease the number of allocated parking spaces as defined in Paragraph 1(s) and throughout the Term Tenant will have full right to such parking spaces as therein set forth.

This ADDENDUM is attached to, made a part of, incorporated into and amends and supplements that certain Office Building Lease dated _30, January_, 2003 (the "Lease"), by and between WORLD TRADE CENTER BUILDING, INC. ("Landlord"), and CALIFORNIA FIRST NATIONAL BANCORP, a California corporation ("Tenant"). Landlord and Tenant agree that, notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the contrary, the provisions set forth in this Addendum will be deemed to be a part of the Lease and will supersede any contrary provision in the Lease and shall prevail and control for all purposes. All references in the Lease and this Addendum to the defined term "Lease" are to be construed to mean the Lease as amended and supplemented by this Addendum. Terms which are not defined in this Addendum have the meanings given to them in the Lease. The paragraphs below are numbered consecutively with those in the Lease.
40. OPTIONS TO EXTEND.
(a) Subject to the terms of this Paragraph 40 and Paragraph 42, entitled "Options," Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the option (each, an "Extension Option") to extend the Term of this Lease with respect to the entire Premises for up to two (2) additional periods of five (5) years each (each, an "Option Term"), on the same terms, covenants and conditions as provided for in this Lease during the initial Lease Term, except that all economic terms such as, without limitation, Monthly Base Rent, an Operating Expense Allowance, if any, parking charges, etc., shall be established based the "fair market rental rate" for the Premises for the applicable Option Term as defined and determined in accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph 40 below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Monthly Base Rent during each Option Term shall be ninety-five percent (95%) of the fair market Monthly Base Rent, and in no event will Market Base Rent during any Option Term be less that the Market Base Rent at the end of the immediately preceding term.
(b) The Extension Option must be exercised, if at all, by written notice ("Extension Notice") delivered by Tenant to Landlord no earlier than the date which is one (1) year, and no later than the date which is nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the then current Term of this Lease.
(c) The term "fair market rental rate" as used in this Addendum shall mean the annual amount per rentable square foot, projected during the relevant period, that a willing, comparable, non-equity renewal tenant (excluding sublease and assignment transactions) would pay, and a willing, institutional landlord of a comparable Class "A" quality office building located in the Xxxx Xxxxx Airport area ("Comparison Area") would accept, at arm's length (what Landlord is accepting in current transactions for the Building or other buildings in the Development may be considered), for space comparable in size, quality and floor height as the leased area at issue taking into account the age, quality and layout of the existing improvements in the leased area at issue and taking into account items that professional real estate brokers customarily consider, including, but not limited to, rental rates, office space availability, tenant size, tenant improvement allowances, operating expenses and allowance, parking charges, free rent, free parking and any other lease concessions, if any, then being charged or granted by Landlord or the lessors of such similar office buildings. The fair market rental rate will be an effective rate, not specifically including, but accounting for, the appropriate lease concessions described above.
(d) Landlord's determination of fair market rental rate shall be delivered to Tenant in writing not later than thirty (30) days following Landlord's receipt of Tenant's Extension Notice. Tenant will have thirty (30) days ("Tenant's Review Period") after receipt of Landlord's notice of the fair market rental rate within which to accept such fair market rental rate or to object thereto in writing. Tenant's failure to object to the fair market rental rate submitted by Landlord in writing within Tenant's Review Period will conclusively be deemed Tenant's approval and acceptance thereof. If Tenant objects to the fair market rental rate submitted by Landlord within Tenant's Review Period, then Landlord and Tenant will attempt in good faith to agree upon such fair market rental rate using their best good faith efforts. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement on such fair market rental rate within fifteen (15) days following the expiration of Tenant's Review Period, then neither Tenant nor Landlord shall have any obligation to proceed with such determination of the fair market rental rate or the applicable Extension Option and this Lease shall terminate upon the then scheduled expiration date.
41. RIGHT TO LEASE ADDITIONAL SPACE.
(a) Subject to the terms of this Paragraph 41 and Paragraph 42, entitled "Options," Tenant shall have a continuing right to lease (the "Right to Lease") any space on the sixth (6th) floor of the Building in incremental sizes acceptable to Landlord, to the extent such space becomes available for lease to third parties after the expiration of any existing lease for such space during the initial Term, including the expiration of all renewal or extension options under such leases, and after the existing tenants or occupants vacate such space (the "First Offer Space"). Tenant's Right to Lease is subject and subordinate to the rights of all other tenants of the Building with rights relative to any such First Offer Space granted prior to the date of this Lease. Thus, Landlord's Economic Terms (as defined below) will be delivered to Tenant only after Landlord has appropriately notified and received negative responses from all other tenants with rights in the First Offer Space superior to Tenant's rights. Additionally, Landlord reserves the right to renew the leases (either on a month-to-month or fixed-term basis) of tenants in the First Offer Space or allow such tenants to hold over with respect to any or all of the First
-1-
Offer Space, without giving rise to any of Tenant's rights pursuant to this Right to Lease, as Landlord deems appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion.
(b) Promptly following written request ("Tenant Request") by Tenant (which may not be given more than twice in any twelve (12) consecutive month period), or, at Landlord's sole election, upon Landlord learning that a third party is interested in leasing the First Offer Space, Landlord will give Tenant written notice of the availability of such First Offer Space and the date the existing tenant or occupant, if any, is expected to vacate such space ("Landlord's Availability Notice"). Within five (5) days following delivery of Landlord's Availability Notice, Tenant will in writing have the right to request from Landlord a written statement setting forth the basic economic terms, including, but not limited to, Landlord's determination of the Monthly Base Rent, an improvement allowance, if any, and all other economic terms and conditions (collectively, the "Economic Terms"), upon which Landlord is willing to lease the First Offer Space desired by Tenant. The Economic Terms shall be Landlord's reasonable determination of the fair market rental rate determined pursuant to the terms of Paragraph 40(c) above.
(c) Within ten (10) business days after receipt of the Economic Terms from Landlord, Tenant must give Landlord written notice pursuant to which Tenant shall elect to either (i) lease such First Offer Space upon such Economic Terms and the same non-Economic Terms as set forth in this Lease with respect to the Premises, or (ii) refuse to lease such First Offer Space. Tenant's failure to timely choose either clause (i) or clause (ii) above will be deemed to be Tenant's choice of clause (ii) above.
(d) If Tenant chooses (or is deemed to have chosen) clause (c)(ii) above, then Tenant's Right to Lease any First Offer Space will be null and void until Tenant once again validly delivers to Landlord a Tenant Request, in which event, the procedures and sequences described above will be followed. If Tenant exercises its Right to Lease as provided herein, the parties will promptly thereafter execute an amendment to this Lease to include the First Offer Space in the Premises and to document the lease terms thereof.
42. OPTIONS.
(a) As used in this Paragraph, the word "Options" means the Extension Options pursuant to Paragraph 40 herein and the Right to Lease pursuant to Paragraph 41 herein.
(b) The Options granted to Tenant are personal to the original Tenant executing this Lease and may be exercised only by the original Tenant executing this Lease while occupying the entire Premises and without the intent of thereafter assigning this Lease or subletting the Premises and may not be exercised or be assigned, voluntarily or involuntarily, by any person or entity other than the original Tenant executing this Lease. The Options granted to Tenant under this Lease are not assignable separate and apart from this Lease, nor may the Options be separated from this Lease in any manner, either by reservation or otherwise.
(c) Tenant shall have no right to exercise the Options, notwithstanding any provision of the grant of Options to the contrary, and Tenant's exercise of the Options may be nullified by Landlord and deemed of no further force or effect, if (i) Tenant shall be in default of any monetary obligation or material non-monetary obligation under the terms of this Lease as of Tenant's exercise of either Option or at any time after the exercise of either Option and prior to the commencement of any Option event, or (ii) Landlord has given Tenant two (2) or more notices of default, whether or not such defaults are subsequently cured, during any twelve (12) consecutive month period.
43. EARLY ENTRY. Notwithstanding the fact that the Lease Term has not commenced, Landlord agrees to allow Tenant to enter the Premises up to thirty (30) days prior to the Commencement Date in order to install trade fixtures and equipment and telephone and computer lines and equipment. Such entry shall be subject to all of the conditions set forth in this Paragraph 43 below. Tenant agrees that any such early entry is subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, except for those relating to the payment of rent and other recurring monetary obligations which have a specific commencement time, which provisions will become applicable in accordance with the terms of this Lease. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such early occupancy shall be conditioned upon Tenant first delivering to Landlord the items described in Paragraph 4(a) of this Lease and Tenant shall be specifically bound by the provisions of Paragraphs 8 (Use), 18 (Assumption of Risk and Indemnification) and 19 (Insurance) of this Lease during such early entry period.
44. AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT. Landlord agrees to be responsible for causing the Premises and the Common Areas to comply, as and when deemed appropriate by Landlord and only to the extent required by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, with the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, as subsequently amended (the "ADA"), except to the extent Landlord is required to perform such work as a result of (a) Tenant's specific use of the Premises, or (b) the Tenant Improvements in the Premises, or (c) any Alternations to the Premises made by or on behalf of Tenant, in which case the costs of such work shall be solely borne by Tenant. Landlord shall be responsible for and shall hold Tenant harmless from any claims under Title I of the ADA with respect to the Common Areas, excluding claims directly related to clauses (a), (b) and (c) above. Except as otherwise stated in this Paragraph 44, Tenant shall be responsible for the cost and liability of causing the Tenant Improvements (subject to application of the Allowance pursuant to the Work Letter Agreement) and any Alternations to comply with the ADA only to the extent required by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, and Tenant shall in any event be responsible for and shall hold Landlord and all Landlord Indemnified
-2-
Parties harmless from any claims by employees and potential employees of Tenant under Title I of the ADA with respect to the Tenant Improvements and Alterations.
45. BUILDING SECURITY. As of the date hereof, Landlord provides roaming patrol and building monitoring services ("Building Monitor Service") for the Development and the Building. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that: (i) Landlord does not provide separate security service for the Building other than the card-key security system described below, (ii) security officers are not stationed at permanent positions within the Building or the Development, (iii) the Building Monitor Service does not constitute a covenant, warranty or promise that such services will be provided for the Building at all times, and is subject to change without notice, (iv) Tenant is responsible for conducting itself in a reasonable manner under all circumstances to avoid risk of injury to persons or damage to property, and (v) Tenant is responsible for securing and insuring its own personal property and for obtaining commercial general liability insurance for injury and/or death to persons and damage to property as provided in the Lease. Accordingly, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage, including the theft of Tenant's property, arising out of or in connection with the failure of the Building Monitor Service and/or any other security services. The Building Monitor Service and/or the termination thereof shall not in any way alter the respective rights, obligations or liabilities of Landlord and Tenant under the Lease. As of the date of the Lease, Landlord provides card-key security access to the Building during other than normal business hours. If the Building Monitoring Service is discontinued, then Landlord agrees to continuously maintain security services for the Building at a reasonable level throughout the remainder of the Term of the Lease. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord's sole discretion, to increase, decrease, eliminate or otherwise modify the amount and/or type of any security services provided to the Building by Landlord. If Landlord elects to provide security to the Building, then Tenant expressly acknowledges that Landlord shall not be deemed to have warranted the efficiency of any security personnel, service, procedures or equipment and Landlord shall not be liable in any manner for the failure of any such security personnel, services, procedures or equipment to prevent or control, or apprehend anyone suspected of personal injury, property damage or any criminal conduct in, on or around the Building. The cost of any security services provided by Landlord for the benefit of the Building shall be included as a part of Operating Expenses.
46. RENTAL ABATEMENT. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, subject to Paragraph 41(e), Landlord hereby conditionally waives Tenant's obligation to pay the Monthly Base Rent applicable to the original Premises only (i.e., the initial 43,371 RSF leased by Tenant hereunder and not any First Offer Space or other additional space leased by Tenant) otherwise due under this Lease for months 1, 13, 25, 37 and 49 of the initial Term; provided, however, in the event Tenant defaults under the terms of this Lease beyond all applicable notice and cure periods at any time during the original Term, all such abated Monthly Base Rent shall immediately become due and payable by Tenant to Landlord.
47. EXTERIOR BUILDING SIGNAGE.
Effective as of the Commencement Date, Tenant shall have the right to install
one (1) building top sign on the Building in two (2) separate locations, both
of which locations are to be mutually agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant (the
"Exterior Sign"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be entitled
to install the Exterior Sign if: (a) Tenant has previously assigned its
interest in this Lease (except in connection with a Permitted Transfer), (b)
Tenant has previously sublet any portion of the Premises (except in connection
with a Permitted Transfer), or (c) Tenant is in default under any monetary or
material non-monetary provision of the Lease. Furthermore, Tenant's right to

This WORK LETTER AGREEMENT ("Work Letter Agreement") is entered into as of the _30_ day of __January_____, 2003 by and between WORLD TRADE CENTER BUILDING, INC., a corporation ("Landlord"), and CALIFORNIA FIRST NATIONAL BANCORP, a California corporation ("Tenant").
R E C I T A L S:
A. Concurrently with the execution of this Work Letter Agreement, Landlord and Tenant have entered into a lease (the "Lease") covering certain premises (the "Premises") more particularly described in Exhibit "A" attached to the Lease. All terms not defined herein have the same meaning as set forth in the Lease. To the extent applicable, the provisions of the Lease are incorporated herein by this reference.
B. In order to induce Tenant to enter into the Lease and in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:
1. TENANT IMPROVEMENTS. As used in the Lease and this Work Letter Agreement, the term "Tenant Improvements" or "Tenant Improvement Work" means those items of general tenant improvement construction shown on the Final Plans (described in Paragraph 4 below), more particularly described in Paragraph 5 below.
2. WORK SCHEDULE. Within ten (10) days after the execution of this Lease, Landlord will deliver to Tenant, for Tenant's review and approval, a schedule ("Work Schedule") which will set forth the timetable for the planning and completion of the installation of the Tenant Improvements and the Commencement Date of the Lease. The Work Schedule will set forth each of the various items of work to be done or approval to be given by Landlord and Tenant in connection with the completion of the Tenant Improvements. The Work Schedule will be submitted to Tenant for its approval, which approval Tenant agrees not to unreasonably withhold, and, once approved by both Landlord and Tenant, the Work Schedule will become the basis for completing the Tenant Improvements. All plans and drawings required by this Work Letter Agreement and all work performed pursuant thereto are to be prepared and performed in accordance with the Work Schedule. Landlord may, from time to time during construction of the Tenant Improvements, modify the Work Schedule as Landlord reasonably deems appropriate. If Tenant fails to approve the Work Schedule, as it may be modified after discussions between Landlord and Tenant within five (5) business days after the date the Work Schedule is first received by Tenant, the Work Schedule shall be deemed to be approved by Tenant as submitted or Landlord may, at its option, terminate the Lease upon written notice to Tenant.
3. CONSTRUCTION REPRESENTATIVES. Landlord hereby appoints the following person(s) as Landlord's representative ("Landlord's Representative") to act for Landlord in all matters covered by this Work Letter Agreement: Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx.
Tenant hereby appoints the following person(s) as Tenant's representative ("Tenant's Representative") to act for Tenant in all matters covered by this Work Letter Agreement: Xxx Xxxxxxx of Xxxx & Xxxxxxx.
All communications with respect to the matters covered by this Work Letter Agreement are to made to Landlord's Representative or Tenant's Representative, as the case may be, in writing in compliance with the notice provisions of the Lease. Either party may change its representative under this Work Letter Agreement at any time by written notice to the other party in compliance with the notice provisions of the Lease.
4. TENANT IMPROVEMENT PLANS.
(a) Preparation of Space Plans. In accordance with the Work Schedule, Tenant agrees to meet with Xxxx & Xxxxxxx for the purpose of promptly preparing preliminary space plans for the layout of the Premises ("Space Plans"). The Space Plans are to be sufficient to convey the architectural design of the Premises and layout of the Tenant Improvements therein and are to be submitted to Landlord in accordance with the Work Schedule for Landlord's approval. If Landlord reasonably disapproves any aspect of the Space Plans, Landlord will advise Tenant in writing of such disapproval and the reasons therefor in accordance with the Work Schedule. Tenant will then submit to Landlord for Landlord's approval, in accordance with the Work Schedule, a redesign of the Space Plans incorporating the revisions reasonably required by Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon prior written consent of Landlord, Tenant may engage a space planner of its choice (which space planner shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Landlord) to prepare the Space Plans. If Tenant chooses to engage its own space planner as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, the cost of preparing the Space Plans shall be paid from the Allowance (as defined below).
(b) Preparation of Final
Plans. Based on the approved Space Plans, and in accordance with the Work
Schedule, Tenant's architect will prepare architectural plans, drawings and
specifications and engineered mechanical, structural and electrical working
drawings (provided, however, Tenant shall use
-1-
Landlord architect to complete all mechanical, electrical and fire life safety portions of the working drawings) for all of the Tenant Improvements for the Premises (collectively, the "Final Plans"). The Final Plans will show: (a) the subdivision (including partitions and walls), layout, lighting, finish and decoration work (including carpeting and other floor coverings) for the Premises; (b) all internal and external communications and utility facilities which will require conduiting or other improvements from the base Building shell work and/or within common areas; and (c) all other specifications for the Tenant Improvements. The Final Plans will be submitted to Tenant for signature to confirm that they are consistent with the Space Plans. If Tenant reasonably disapproves any aspect of the Final Plans based on any inconsistency with the Space Plans, Tenant agrees to advise Landlord in writing of such disapproval and the reasons therefor within the time frame set forth in the Work Schedule. In accordance with the Work Schedule, Landlord will then cause Landlord's architect to redesign the Final Plans incorporating the revisions reasonably requested by Tenant so as to make the Final Plans consistent with the Space Plans.
(c) Requirements of Tenant's Final Plans. Tenant's Final Plans will include locations and complete dimensions, and the Tenant Improvements, as shown on the Final Plans, will: (i) be compatible with the Building shell and with the design, construction and equipment of the Building; (ii) if not comprised of the Building standards set forth in the written description thereof (the "Standards"), then compatible with and of at least equal quality as the Standards and approved by Landlord; (iii) comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of all governmental authorities having jurisdiction, and all applicable insurance regulations; (iv) not require Building service beyond the level normally provided to other tenants in the Building and will not overload the Building floors; and (v) be of a nature and quality consistent with the overall objectives of Landlord for the Building, as determined by Landlord in its reasonable but subjective discretion.
(d) Submittal of Final Plans. Once approved by Landlord and Tenant, Landlord's architect will submit the Final Plans to the appropriate governmental agencies for plan checking and the issuance of a building permit. Landlord's architect, with Tenant's cooperation, will make any changes to the Final Plans which are requested by the applicable governmental authorities to obtain the building permit. After approval of the Final Plans no further changes may be made without the prior written approval of both Landlord and Tenant, and then only after agreement by Tenant to pay any excess costs resulting from the design and/or construction of such changes. Tenant hereby acknowledges that any such changes will be subject to the terms of Paragraph 10 below.
(e) Changes to Shell of Building. If the Final Plans or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto shall require changes in the Building shell, the increased cost of the Building shell work caused by such changes will be paid for by Tenant or charged against the "Allowance" described in Paragraph 5 below.
(f) Work Cost Estimate and Statement. Prior to the commencement of construction of any of the Tenant Improvements shown on the Final Plans, Landlord will submit to Tenant a written estimate of the cost to complete the Tenant Improvement Work, which written estimate will be based on the Final Plans taking into account any modifications which may be required to reflect changes in the Final Plans required by the City or County in which the Premises are located (the "Work Cost Estimate"). Tenant will either approve the Work Cost Estimate or disapprove specific items and submit to Landlord revisions to the Final Plans to reflect deletions of and/or substitutions for such disapproved items. Submission and approval of the Work Cost Estimate will proceed in accordance with the Work Schedule. Upon Tenant's approval of the Work Cost Estimate (such approved Work Cost Estimate to be hereinafter known as the "Work Cost Statement"), Landlord will have the right to purchase materials and to commence the construction of the items included in the Work Cost Statement pursuant to Paragraph 6 hereof. If the total costs reflected in the Work Cost Statement exceed the Allowance described in Paragraph 5 below, Tenant agrees to pay one-half of such excess, as additional rent, within five (5) business days after Tenant's approval of the Work Cost Estimate and the remainder at substantial completion as defined in Paragraph 8(b) of this Work Letter Agreement. Throughout the course of construction, any differences between the estimated Work Cost in the Work Cost Statement and the actual Work Cost will be determined by Landlord and appropriate adjustments and payments by Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, will be made within five (5) business days thereafter.
5. PAYMENT FOR THE TENANT IMPROVEMENTS.
(a) Allowance. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a tenant improvement allowance of $14.33 per Usable Square Foot of the Premises (the "Allowance"). The Allowance is to be used only for:
(i) Payment of the cost of preparing the Space Plans and the Final Plans, including mechanical, electrical, plumbing and structural drawings and of all other aspects necessary to complete the Final Plans.
(ii) The payment of plan check, permit and license fees relating to construction of the Tenant Improvements.
(iii) Construction of the Tenant Improvements, including, without limitation, the following:
(aa) Installation within the Premises of all partitioning, doors, floor coverings, ceilings, wall coverings, furniture and painting, millwork and similar items;
-2-
(bb) All electrical wiring, network computer cabling, proximity card readers, lighting fixtures, outlets and switches, and other electrical work necessary for the Premises;
(cc) The furnishing and installation of all duct work, terminal boxes, diffusers and accessories necessary for the heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems within the Premises, including the cost of meter and key control for after-hour air conditioning;
(dd) Any additional improvements to the Premises required for Tenant's use of the Premises including, but not limited to, odor control, special heating, ventilation and air conditioning, noise or vibration control or other special systems or improvements;
(ee) All fire and life safety control systems such as fire walls, sprinklers, FM200, fire alarms, including piping, wiring and accessories, necessary for the Premises;
(ff) All plumbing, fixtures, pipes and accessories necessary for the Premises;
(gg) Testing and inspection costs; and
(hh) Fees for Landlord's tenant improvement coordinator in the amount of five percent (5%) of the actual Work Cost, and fees for the contractor including, but not limited to, fees and costs attributable to general conditions.
(iv) Tenant's exterior signage, to the extent the same is permitted under the Lease.
(b) Excess Costs. The cost of each item referenced in Paragraph 5(a) above shall be charged against the Allowance. If the Work Cost exceeds the Allowance, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord one-half of such excess including fees for the contractor and Landlord's standard five percent (5%) fee for the tenant improvement coordinator associated with the supervision of such excess work prior to the commencement of construction within five (5) business days after invoice therefor (less any sums previously paid by Tenant for such excess pursuant to the Work Cost Estimate) and the remainder at substantial completion as defined in Paragraph 8(b) of this Work Letter Agreement. In no event will the Allowance be used to pay for Tenant's furniture, artifacts, equipment, telephone systems or any other item of personal property which is not affixed to the Premises.
(c) Changes. If, after the Final Plans have been prepared and the Work Cost Statement has been established, Tenant requires any changes or substitutions to the Final Plans, any additional costs related thereto including fees for the contractor and Landlord's standard five percent (5%) fee for the tenant improvement coordinator associated with the supervision of such changes or substitutions are to be paid by Tenant to Landlord prior to the commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements. Any changes to the Final Plans will be approved by Landlord and Tenant in the manner set forth in Paragraph 4 above and will, if necessary, require the Work Cost Statement to be revised and agreed upon between Landlord and Tenant in the manner set forth in Subparagraph 4(f) above. Landlord will have the right to decline Tenant's request for a change to the Final Plans if such changes are inconsistent with the provisions of Paragraph 4 above, or if the change would unreasonably delay construction of the Tenant Improvements and the Commencement Date of the Lease.
(d) Governmental Cost Increases. If increases in the cost of the Tenant Improvements as set forth in the Work Cost Statement are due to requirements of any governmental agency, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord the amount of such increase including fees for the contractor and Landlord's standard five percent (5%) fee for the tenant improvement coordinator associated with the supervision of such additional work within five (5) days of Landlord's written notice; provided, however, that Landlord will first apply toward any such increase any remaining balance of the Allowance.
(e) Unused Allowance Amounts. Any unused portion of the Allowance upon completion of the Tenant Improvements will not be refunded to Tenant or be available to Tenant as a credit against any obligations of Tenant under the Lease unless Tenant has paid for excess costs as described in Subparagraphs 5(b), 5(c) or 5(d), in which case the unused Allowance may be applied toward such excess cost amounts and paid to Tenant, however, any unused portion of the Allowance may be applied toward Tenant's furniture costs.
6. CONSTRUCTION OF TENANT IMPROVEMENTS. Until Tenant approves the Final Plans and Work Cost Statement, Landlord will be under no obligation to cause the construction of any of the Tenant Improvements. Following Tenant's approval of the Work Cost Statement described in Subparagraph 4(f) above and upon Tenant's payment of one-half of the total amount by which such Work Cost Statement exceeds the Allowance (provided Tenant agrees to pay the remainder at substantial completion as defined in Paragraph 8(b) of this Work Letter Agreement), if any, Landlord's contractor will commence and diligently proceed with the construction of the Tenant Improvements, subject to Tenant Delays (as described in Paragraph 9 below) and Force Majeure Delays (as described in Paragraph 10 below).
7. FREIGHT/CONSTRUCTION ELEVATOR. Landlord will, consistent with its obligation to other tenants in the Building, if appropriate and necessary, make the freight/construction elevator reasonably available to Tenant in connection with initial decorating, furnishing and moving into the Premises. Tenant agrees to pay for any after-hours staffing of the freight/construction elevator, if needed.
-3-
8. COMMENCEMENT DATE AND SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION.
(a) Commencement Date. The Term of the Lease will commence on the date (the "Commencement Date") which is the earlier of: (i) the date Tenant moves into the Premises to commence operation of its business in all or any portion of the Premises; or (ii) the date the Tenant Improvements have been "substantially completed" (as defined below); provided, however, that if substantial completion of the Tenant Improvements is delayed as a result of any Tenant Delays described in Paragraph 9 below, then the Commencement Date as would otherwise have been established pursuant to this Subparagraph 8(a)(ii) will be accelerated by the number of days of such Tenant Delays.
(b) Substantial Completion; Punch-List. For purposes of Subparagraph 8(a)(ii) above, the Tenant Improvements will be deemed to be "substantially completed" when Landlord's contractor certifies in writing to Landlord and Tenant that Landlord: (a) is able to provide Tenant with reasonable access to the Premises; (b) has substantially performed all of the Tenant Improvement Work required to be performed by Landlord under this Work Letter Agreement, other than decoration and minor "punch-list" type items and adjustments which do not materially interfere with Tenant's access to or use of the Premises; and (c) has obtained a temporary certificate of occupancy or other required equivalent approval from the local governmental authority permitting occupancy of the Premises. Within ten (10) days after receipt of such certificate from Landlord's contractor, Tenant will conduct a walk-through inspection of the Premises with Landlord and provide to Landlord a written punch-list specifying those decoration and other punch-list items which require completion, which items Landlord will thereafter diligently complete.
(c) Delivery of Possession. Landlord agrees to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant in broom-clean condition when the Tenant Improvements have been substantially completed in accordance with Subparagraph (b) above. The parties estimate that Landlord will deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant and the Term of this Lease will commence on or before the estimated commencement date set forth in the Work Schedule delivered to Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 2 above (the "Projected Commencement Date"). Landlord agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Premises to be substantially completed on or before the Projected Commencement Date. Tenant agrees that if Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on or prior to the Projected Commencement Date, the Lease will not be void or voidable, nor will Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, but if such late delivery is due to Landlord's fault or due to any Force Majeure Delay(s), then, as Tenant's sole remedy, the Commencement Date and the Expiration Date of the Term will be extended one (1) day for each day Landlord is delayed in delivering possession of the Premises to Tenant.
9. TENANT DELAYS. For purposes of this Work Letter Agreement, "Tenant Delays" means any delay in the completion of the Tenant Improvements resulting from any or all of the following: (a) Tenant's failure to timely perform any of its obligations pursuant to this Work Letter Agreement, including any failure to complete, on or before the due date therefor, any action item which is Tenant's responsibility pursuant to the Work Schedule delivered by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to this Work Letter Agreement; (b) Tenant's changes to Space Plans or Final Plans after Landlord's approval thereof; (c) Tenant's request for materials, finishes, or installations which are not readily available or which are incompatible with the Standards; (d) any delay of Tenant in making payment to Landlord for Tenant's share of the Work Cost; or (e) any other act or failure to act by Tenant, Tenant's employees, agents, architects, independent contractors, consultants and/or any other person performing or required to perform services on behalf of Tenant.
10. FORCE MAJEURE DELAYS. For purposes of this Work Letter, "Force Majeure Delays" means any actual delay in the construction of the Tenant Improvements, which is beyond the reasonable control of Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, as described in Paragraph 33 of the Lease.

STANDARDS FOR UTILITIES AND SERVICES
The following standards for utilities and services are in effect. Landlord reserves the right to adopt nondiscriminatory modifications and additions hereto.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Lease and provided Tenant remains in occupancy of the Premises, Landlord will provide or make available the following utilities and services:
1. Provide non-attended automatic elevator facilities Monday through Friday, except holidays, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and have one elevator available for Tenant's use at all other times.
2. On Monday through Friday, except holidays, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 12 Noon (and other times for a reasonable additional charge to be fixed by Landlord), ventilate the Premises and furnish air conditioning or heating on such days and hours, when in the reasonable judgment of Landlord it may be required for the comfortable occupancy of the Premises. Tenant, upon such advance notice as is reasonably required by Landlord, shall have the right to receive ventilation, heating and air conditioning service during hours other from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. On Monday through Friday and from 8:00 A.M. to 12:00 P.M. on Saturdays (exclusive of Holidays) on a floor-by-floor basis. Tenant shall pay Landlord the standard charge for the additional service as reasonably determined by Landlord from time to time. As of the date hereof, Landlord's charge for after hours ventilation, heating and air conditioning service is $45.00 per hour per floor, subject to change from time to time. The minimum period of time for which Tenant may request after hours heating and air conditioning service is 1 hour per floor. The air conditioning system achieves maximum cooling when the window coverings are extended to the full length of the window opening and adjusted to a 45 degree angle upwards. Landlord will not be responsible for room temperatures if Tenant does not keep all window coverings in the Premises extended to the full length of the window opening and adjusted to a 45 degree angle upwards whenever the system is in operation. Tenant agrees to cooperate fully at all times with Landlord, and to abide by all reasonable regulations and requirements which Landlord may prescribe for the proper function and protection of said air conditioning system. Tenant agrees not to connect any apparatus, device, conduit or pipe to the chilled and hot water air conditioning supply lines of the Building. Tenant further agrees that neither Tenant nor its servants, employees, agents, visitors, licensees or contractors shall at any time enter the mechanical installations or facilities of the Building or the Development or adjust, tamper with, touch or otherwise in any manner affect said installations or facilities. The cost of maintenance and service calls to adjust and regulate the air conditioning system will be charged to Tenant if the need for maintenance work results from either Tenant's adjustment of room thermostats or Tenant's failure to comply with its obligations under this Exhibit, including keeping window coverings extended to the full length of the window opening and adjusted to a 45 degree angle upwards. Such work will be charged at hourly rates equal to then-current journeyman's wages for air conditioning mechanics.
3. Landlord will make available to the Premises, 24 hours per day, seven days a week, electric current as required by the Building standard office lighting including fluorescent and incandescent lighting (including task and task ambient lighting systems), vending machines, standard kitchen appliances, and fractional horsepower office business machines including copiers, personal computers, terminals, minicomputers, audio-visual, communications equipment and word processing equipment in an amount not to exceed six (6) xxxxx per square foot per normal business day. Tenant agrees, should its electrical installation or electrical consumption be in excess of the aforesaid quantity or extend beyond normal business hours, to reimburse Landlord monthly for the measured consumption at the average cost per kilowatt hour charged to the Building during the period. If a separate meter is not installed at Tenant's cost, such excess cost will be established by an estimate agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant, and if the parties fail to agree, such cost will be established by an independent licensed engineer selected in Landlord's reasonable discretion, whose fee shall be shared equally by Landlord and Tenant. Tenant agrees not to use any apparatus or device in, upon or about the Premises (other than standard office business machines, personal computers and word processing equipment) which may in any way increase the amount of such services usually furnished or supplied to said Premises, and Tenant further agrees not to connect any apparatus or device with wires, conduits or pipes, or other means by which such services are supplied, for the purpose of using additional or unusual amounts of such services without the written consent of Landlord. Should Tenant use the same to excess, the refusal on the part of Tenant to pay upon demand of Landlord the amount established by Landlord for such excess charge will constitute a breach of the obligation to pay rent under this Lease and will entitle Landlord to the rights therein granted for such breach. Tenant's use of electric current will never exceed the capacity of the feeders to the Building, or the risers or wiring installation and Tenants will not install or use or permit the installation or use of any computer or electronic data processing equipment in the Premises (except standard office business machines, personal computers and word processing equipment) without the prior written consent of Landlord.
4. Water will be available in public areas for drinking
and lavatory purposes only, but if Tenant requires, uses or consumes water for
any purpose in addition to ordinary drinking and lavatory purposes, of which
fact Tenant constitutes Landlord to be the sole judge, Landlord may install
a water meter and thereby measure Tenant's water consumption for all purposes.
Tenant agrees to pay Landlord for the cost of the meter and the cost of the
installation thereof and throughout the duration of Tenant's occupancy Tenant
will keep said meter and installation equipment in good working order and repair
at Tenant's own cost and expense, in default of which Landlord may cause such
meter and equipment to be replaced or repaired and collect the cost thereof
from Tenant. Tenant agrees to pay for water consumed,
-1-
as shown on such meter, as and when bills are rendered, and on default in making such payment, Landlord may pay such charges and collect the same from Tenant. Any such costs or expenses incurred, or payments made by Landlord for any of the reasons or purposes hereinabove stated will be deemed to be additional rent payable by Tenant and collectible by Landlord as such.
5. Landlord will provide janitor service to the Premises, provided the same are used exclusively as offices, and are kept reasonably in order by Tenant, and unless otherwise agreed to by Landlord and Tenant no one other than persons approved by Landlord shall be permitted to enter the Premises for such purposes. If the Premises are not used exclusively as offices, they will be kept clean and in order by Tenant, at Tenant's expense, and to the satisfaction of Landlord, and by persons approved by Landlord. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord the cost of removal of any of Tenant's refuse and rubbish to the extent that the same exceeds the refuse and rubbish usually attendant upon the use of the Premises as offices.
6. Landlord reserves the right to stop service of the elevator, plumbing, ventilation, air conditioning and electrical systems, when necessary, by reason of accident or emergency or for repairs, alterations or improvements, when in the judgment of Landlord such actions are desirable or necessary to be made, until said repairs, alterations or improvements shall have been completed, and Landlord will have no responsibility or liability for failure to supply elevator facilities, plumbing, ventilating, air conditioning or electric service, when prevented from so doing by strike or accident or by any cause beyond Landlord's reasonable control, or by laws, rules, orders, ordinances, directions, regulations or by reason of the requirements of any federal, state, county or municipal authority or failure of gas, oil or other suitable fuel supply or inability by exercise of reasonable diligence to obtain gas, oil or other suitable fuel supply. It is expressly understood and agreed that any covenants on Landlord's part to furnish any services pursuant to any of the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions or agreements of this Lease, or to perform any act or thing for the benefit of Tenant, will not be deemed breached if Landlord is unable to furnish or perform the same by virtue of a strike or labor trouble or any other cause whatsoever beyond Landlord's control.
