LEASE
By this Lease Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord
the Premises in the Building as set forth and described on the Reference Pages.
The Premises are depicted on the floor plan attached hereto as Exhibit A, and
the Building is depicted on the site plan attached hereto as Exhibit A-1. The
Reference Pages, including all terms defined thereon, are incorporated as part
of this Lease.
1. USE AND RESTRICTIONS ON USE.
1.1 The Premises are to be used solely for the purposes set forth
on the Reference Pages and for no other uses without
Landlord's prior written consent which may be withheld in
Landlord's sole discretion. Tenant shall not do or permit
anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any
way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants or
occupants of the Building or injure, annoy, or disturb them,
or allow the Premises to be used for any improper, immoral,
unlawful, or objectionable purpose, or commit any waste.
Tenant shall not do, permit or suffer in, on, or about the
Premises the sale of any alcoholic liquor without the written
consent of Landlord first obtained. Tenant shall comply with
all governmental laws, ordinances and regulations applicable
to the use of the Premises and its occupancy and shall
promptly comply with all governmental orders and directions
for the correction, prevention and abatement of any violations
in the Building or appurtenant land, caused or permitted by,
or resulting from the specific use by, Tenant, or in or upon,
or in connection with, the Premises, all at Tenant's sole
expense. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done on
or about the Premises or bring or keep anything into the
Premises which will in any way increase the rate of,
invalidate or prevent the procuring of any insurance
protecting against loss or damage to the Building or any of
its contents by fire or other casualty or against liability
for damage to property or injury to persons in or about the
Building or any part thereof. Landlord will, at Landlord's
expense, perform all acts required to comply with laws, rules
or regulations in effect as of the date of this Lease and as
interpreted and enforced in the county in which the Premises
is located, with respect to the foregoing as the same affect
the Premises and the Building. Landlord will perform all acts
required to comply with laws, rules or regulations in effect
after the date of this Lease with respect to the foregoing as
the same affect the Building and the common areas and such
costs shall be a part of Expenses as provided in Article 4 of
this Lease. Landlord will perform all acts required to comply
with laws, rules or regulations in effect after the date of
this Lease with respect to the foregoing as the same affect
the Premises and such costs shall be the sole responsibility
of Tenant. To the extent the foregoing is a cost that is the
responsibility of Tenant as provided herein, Tenant shall pay
to Landlord, within 10 days following Landlord's written
demand therefor, which demand shall be accompanied by
documented evidence reasonably acceptable to Tenant reflecting
all such costs, the costs and expenses related to such
compliance work, plus any and all third-party costs actually
incurred by Landlord in connection with such work.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right
to contest any alleged violation of any laws, rule or
regulation in good faith, including, without limitation, the
right to apply for and obtain a waiver or deferment of
compliance, the right to assert any and all defenses allowed
by law and the right to appeal any decisions, judgments or
rulings to the fullest extent permitted by law. Landlord,
after the exhaustion of any and all rights to appeal or
contest, will make all repairs, additions, alterations or
improvements necessary to comply with the terms of any final
order or judgment, provided that if Landlord elects not to
contest any alleged violation, Landlord will promptly make
necessary all repairs, additions, alterations or improvements.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
Tenant, not Landlord, shall be responsible for the correction
of any violations that arise out of or in connection with the
specific nature of Tenant's business in the Premises (other
than general office use), the acts or omissions of Tenant, its
agents, employees or contractors, Tenant's arrangement of any
furniture, equipment or other property in the Premises, any
repairs, alterations, additions or improvements performed by
or on behalf of Tenant and any design or configuration of the
Premises.
1.2 Tenant shall not, and shall not direct, suffer or permit any
of its agents, contractors, employees, licensees or invitees
(collectively, the "Tenant Entities") to at any time handle,
use, manufacture, store or dispose of in or about the Premises
or the Building any (collectively "Hazardous Materials")
flammables, explosives, radioactive materials, hazardous
wastes or materials, toxic wastes or materials, or other
similar substances, petroleum products or derivatives or any
substance subject to regulation by or under any federal, state
and local laws and ordinances relating to the protection of
the environment or the keeping, use or disposition of
environmentally hazardous materials, substances, or wastes,
presently in effect or hereafter adopted, all amendments to
any of them, and all rules and regulations issued pursuant to
any of such laws or ordinances
(collectively "Environmental Laws"), nor shall Tenant suffer
or permit any Hazardous Materials to be used in any manner not
fully in compliance with all Environmental Laws, in the
Premises or the Building and, if the same may affect or impact
the Building and/or the parcel of land upon which the Building
is located, or any portions of land benefiting the foregoing
by easement, license or other similar rights, any appurtenant
land, or allow the environment to become contaminated with any
Hazardous Materials if the same may affect or impact the
Building and/or the parcel of land upon which the Building is
located, or any portions of land benefiting the foregoing by
easement, license or other similar rights. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Tenant may handle, store, use or dispose of
products containing small quantities of Hazardous Materials
(such as aerosol cans containing insecticides, toner for
copiers, paints, paint remover and the like) to the extent
customary and necessary for the use of the Premises for
general office purposes; provided that Tenant shall always
handle, store, use, and dispose of any such Hazardous
Materials in a safe and lawful manner and never allow such
Hazardous Materials to contaminate the Premises, Building and
appurtenant land or the environment. Tenant shall protect,
defend, indemnify and hold each and all of the Landlord
Entities (as defined in Article 30) harmless from and against
any and all loss, claims, liability or costs (including court
costs and attorney's fees) incurred by reason of any actual or
asserted failure of Tenant to fully comply with all applicable
Environmental Laws, or the presence, handling, use or
disposition in or from the Premises of any Hazardous Materials
by Tenant or any Tenant Entity (even though permissible under
all applicable Environmental Laws or the provisions of this
Lease), or by reason of any actual or asserted failure of
Tenant to keep, observe, or perform any provision of this
Section 1.2. As of the date hereof, Landlord has not received
notice from any governmental agencies that the Building is in
violation of any Environmental Laws. Further, to Landlord's
actual knowledge, there are no Hazardous Materials at the
Building other than small quantities of Hazardous Materials
(such as aerosol cans containing insecticides, toner for
copiers, paints, paint remover and the like) to the extent
customary and necessary for the use of the Premises for
general office purposes. For purposes of this Section,
"Landlord's actual knowledge" shall be deemed to mean and
limited to the current actual knowledge of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx,
Property Manager for the Building, at the time of execution of
the Lease and not any implied, imputed, or constructive
knowledge of said individual or of Landlord or any parties
related to or comprising Landlord and without any independent
investigation or inquiry having been made or any implied duty
to investigate or make any inquiries; it being understood and
agreed that such individual shall have no personal liability
in any manner whatsoever hereunder or otherwise related to the
transactions contemplated hereby.
1.3 Tenant and the Tenant Entities will be entitled to the
non-exclusive use of the common areas of the Building as they
exist from time to time during the Term, including the parking
facilities, subject to Landlord's reasonable rules and
regulations regarding such use. The rules and regulations
shall be generally applicable, and generally applied in the
same manner, to all tenants of the Building. However, in no
event will Tenant or the Tenant Entities park more vehicles in
the parking facilities than Tenant's Proportionate Share of
the total parking spaces available for common use. Landlord
hereby grants to Tenant and persons designated by Tenant a
license to use up to 73 non-reserved parking spaces in the
surface parking facility servicing the Building on a
nonexclusive basis. The foregoing shall not be deemed to
provide Tenant with an exclusive right to any parking spaces
or any guaranty of the availability of any particular parking
spaces or any specific number of parking spaces.
2. TERM.
2.1 The Term of this Lease shall begin on the date ("Commencement
Date") which shall be the later of the Scheduled Commencement
Date as shown on the Reference Pages and the date that
Landlord shall tender possession of the Premises to Tenant,
and shall terminate on the date as shown on the Reference
Pages ("Termination Date"), unless sooner terminated by the
provisions of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
the Termination Date, as determined herein, does not occur on
the last day of a calendar month, the Term shall be deemed
automatically extended by the number of days necessary to
cause the Termination Date to occur on the last day of the
last calendar month of the Term. Tenant shall pay the Monthly
Installment of Rent and Additional Rent proportionately
applicable to such additional days at the same rate payable
for the portion of the last calendar month immediately
preceding such extension. Landlord shall deliver possession of
the Premises to Tenant vacant and in broom-clean condition.
Except to the extent caused by Tenant, or any of Tenant's
related parties, agents, employees, invitees, customers or
contractors, as of the date Landlord delivers possession of
the Premises to Tenant, the base Building electrical, heating,
ventilation and air conditioning, mechanical and plumbing
systems servicing the Premises shall be in good order and
satisfactory condition. Tenant shall have sixty (60) days from
the date
2
Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant in
which to discover and notify Landlord of any latent defects in
the Premises. Except to the extent caused or exacerbated by
Tenant or any of Tenant's employees, invitees, agents,
licensees or contractors, Landlord shall be responsible for
the cost and correction of any such latent defects with
respect to which it received timely notice from Tenant. Tenant
shall, at Landlord's request, execute and deliver a memorandum
agreement provided by Landlord in the form of Exhibit C
attached hereto, setting forth the actual Commencement Date,
Termination Date and, if necessary, a revised rent schedule.
Should Tenant fail to do so within thirty (30) days after
Landlord's request, the information set forth in such
memorandum provided by Landlord shall be conclusively presumed
to be agreed and correct. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Commencement Date shall be extended beyond the Scheduled
Commencement Date only as a result of any actual delay in
Substantial Completion (as defined in Exhibit B to this Lease)
of the Improvements beyond the Scheduled Commencement Date
which delay results directly from an act or omission by
Landlord; provided, however, that Tenant shall provide to
Landlord prior written notice of such delay at the time it
occurs (but in no event later than two (2) business days
thereafter) and Landlord shall have one (1) business day after
its receipt of Tenant's notice to cure such delay prior to the
extension of the Commencement Date beyond the Scheduled
Commencement Date.
2.2 Tenant agrees that in the event of the inability of Landlord
to deliver possession of the Premises on the Scheduled
Commencement Date for any reason, Landlord shall not be liable
for any damage resulting from such inability, but Tenant shall
not be liable for any rent until the time when Landlord can,
after notice to Tenant, deliver possession of the Premises to
Tenant. No such failure to give possession on the Scheduled
Commencement Date shall affect the other obligations of Tenant
under this Lease, except that if Landlord is unable to deliver
possession of the Premises within one hundred twenty (120)
days after the Scheduled Commencement Date (other than as a
result of strikes, shortages of materials, holdover tenancies
or similar matters beyond the reasonable control of Landlord
and Tenant is notified by Landlord in writing as to such
delay), Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease
unless said delay is as a result of: (a) Tenant's failure to
agree to plans and specifications and/or construction cost
estimates or bids; (b) Tenant's request for materials,
finishes or installations other than Landlord's standard
except those, if any, that Landlord shall have expressly
agreed to furnish without extension of time agreed by
Landlord; (c) Tenant's change in any plans or specifications;
or, (d) performance or completion by a party employed by
Tenant (each of the foregoing, a "Tenant Delay"). If any delay
is the result of a Tenant Delay, the Commencement Date and the
payment of rent under this Lease shall be accelerated by the
number of days of such Tenant Delay. In the event Tenant
terminates this Lease in accordance with the foregoing, any
monies previously paid by Tenant to Landlord shall be
reimbursed to Tenant.
2.3 In the event Landlord permits Tenant, or any agent, employee
or contractor of Tenant, to enter, use or occupy the Premises
prior to the Commencement Date, such entry, use or occupancy
shall be subject to all the provisions of this Lease other
than the payment of the Monthly Installment of Rent,
including, without limitation, Tenant's compliance with the
insurance requirements of Article 11. Said early possession
shall not advance the Termination Date. Tenant shall pay
Tenant's Proportionate Share of Expenses and Taxes during any
early entry upon the Premises prior to the Commencement Date.
Landlord hereby grants Tenant the right to enter the Premises,
at Tenant's sole risk, following execution of this Lease
solely for the purpose of construction of Tenant's
Improvements (as defined in Exhibit B).
3. RENT.
3.1 Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord the Annual Rent in effect
from time to time by paying the Monthly Installment of Rent
then in effect on or before the first day of each full
calendar month during the Term, except that the first Monthly
Installment of Rent and the Security Deposit shall be paid
upon the execution of this Lease. The Monthly Installment of
Rent in effect at any time shall be one-twelfth (1/12) of the
Annual Rent in effect at such time. Rent for any period during
the Term which is less than a full month shall be a prorated
portion of the Monthly Installment of Rent based upon the
number of days in such month. Said rent shall be paid to
Landlord, without deduction or offset and without notice or
demand, at the Rent Payment Address, as set forth on the
Reference Pages, or to such other person or at such other
place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing.
If an Event of Default occurs three (3) times or more in any
twelve (12) month period during the Term, Landlord may require
that Tenant submit Base Rent and Tenant's Proportionate Share
of Expenses and Taxes to Landlord on a quarterly basis (due on
or before the first day of each calendar quarter) for the
following 12 month period. Unless specified in this
3
Lease to the contrary, all amounts and sums payable by Tenant
to Landlord pursuant to this Lease shall be deemed additional
rent.
3.2 Tenant recognizes that late payment of any rent or other sum
due under this Lease will result in administrative expense to
Landlord, the extent of which additional expense is extremely
difficult and economically impractical to ascertain. Tenant
therefore agrees that if rent or any other sum is not paid
when due and payable pursuant to this Lease, a late charge
shall be imposed in an amount equal to the greater of: (a)
Fifty Dollars ($50.00), or (b) five percent (5%) of the unpaid
rent or other payment; provided that Tenant shall be entitled
to a grace period of 5 days for the first 1late payment of
rent or other sum due in a given calendar year. The amount of
the late charge to be paid by Tenant shall be reassessed and
added to Tenant's obligation for each successive month until
paid. The provisions of this Section 3.2 in no way relieve
Tenant of the obligation to pay rent or other payments on or
before the date on which they are due, nor do the terms of
this Section 3.2 in any way affect Landlord's remedies
pursuant to Article 19 of this Lease in the event said rent or
other payment is unpaid after date due.
4. RENT ADJUSTMENTS.
4.1 For the purpose of this Article 4, the following terms are
defined as follows:
4.1.1 LEASE YEAR: Each fiscal year (as determined by
Landlord from time to time) falling partly or wholly

may be proportionately included in Expenses based on
the percentage of time such employee spends in
connection with the operation, maintenance and
management of the Building); employee benefits and
payroll taxes; accounting and legal fees; any sales,
use or service taxes incurred in connection
therewith. In addition, Landlord shall be entitled to
recover, as additional rent (which, along with any
other capital expenditures constituting Expenses,
Landlord may either include in Expenses or cause to

as a separate item), Tenant's Proportionate Share of:
(i) an allocable portion of the cost of capital
improvement items which are reasonably calculated to
reduce operating expenses; (ii) the cost of fire
sprinklers and suppression systems and other life
safety systems (provided that to the extent the
foregoing is a capital improvement, the cost thereof
shall be amortized over the reasonable life of such
expenditures as provided in the following clause
(iii)); and (iii) other capital expenses which are
required under any governmental laws, regulations or
ordinances which were not applicable to the Building
as of the date of this Lease; but the costs described
in this sentence shall be amortized over the
reasonable life of such expenditures in accordance
with such reasonable life and amortization schedules
as shall be determined by Landlord in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, with
interest on the unamortized amount at one percent
(1%) in excess of the Wall Street Journal prime
lending rate announced from time to time. Expenses
shall not include depreciation or amortization of the
Building or equipment in the Building except as
provided herein, loan principal payments, costs of
alterations of tenants' premises, leasing
commissions,
4
interest expenses on long-term borrowings,
advertising costs including the cost of brochures and
marketing supplies, legal fees in negotiating and
preparing lease documents, and construction,
improvement and decorating costs in preparing space
for initial occupancy by a specific tenant.
The following items are also excluded from Expenses and in no event
shall Tenant have any obligation to perform, pay directly or reimburse
Landlord for any of the following except to the extent expressly
provided herein:
(a) Sums paid to subsidiaries or other
affiliates of Landlord for services on or to
the Building and/or Premises, but only to
the extent that the costs of such services
exceed the competitive cost for such
services rendered by persons or entities of
similar skill, competence and experience.
(b) Any fines, penalties or interest resulting
from the negligence or willful misconduct of
the Landlord or its agents, contractors, or

in the common areas of the Building).
(i) Any expenses for which Landlord has received
actual reimbursement (other than through
Expenses).
(j) Costs incurred by Landlord in connection
with the correction of defects in design and
original construction of the Building.
(k) Any cost or expense related to removal,
cleaning, abatement or remediation of
Hazardous Materials in or about the Building
or the common areas, including, without
limitation, hazardous substances in the
ground water or soil, except to the extent
such removal, cleaning, abatement or
remediation is related to the general repair
and maintenance of the Building and the
common areas.
(l) Costs incurred by Landlord in connection
with the correction of defects in design and
original construction of the Building.
(m) Any costs, fines or penalties incurred due
to violations by Landlord of any law, order,
rule or regulations of any governmental
authority which was in effect (and as
interpreted and enforced) as of the date of
this Lease.
(n) Penalties, interest and other costs incurred
by Landlord in connection with Landlord's
failure to comply with conditions, covenants
and restrictions applicable to the Building.
(o) The cost of repairs and maintenance
equitably allocated by Landlord to buildings
other than the Building.
(p) Principal payments of mortgage debt of
Landlord.
5
(q) Interest (except as provided in this Lease
for the amortization of capital

4.1.3 TAXES: Real estate taxes and any other taxes, charges
and assessments which are levied with respect to the
Building or the land appurtenant to the Building, or
with respect to any improvements, fixtures and
equipment or other property of Landlord, real or
personal, located in the Building and used in
connection with the operation of the Building and
said land, any payments to any ground lessor in
reimbursement of tax payments made by such lessor;
and all fees, expenses and costs incurred by Landlord
in investigating, protesting, contesting or in any
way seeking to reduce or avoid increase in any
assessments, levies or the tax rate pertaining to any
Taxes to be paid by Landlord in any Lease Year. Taxes
shall not include any corporate franchise, capital
levy, capital stock, gift, estate, inheritance or net
income tax, or tax imposed upon any transfer by
Landlord of its interest in this Lease or the
Building, any property taxes allocated to buildings
other than the Building and any taxes to be paid by
Tenant pursuant to Article 28. In the event that
Landlord may elect to pay a special assessment in one
payment or over a period of time, regardless of
Landlord's election, any such assessment shall be
included in Taxes only to the extent it would have
been due over time.
4.2 Tenant shall pay as additional rent for each Lease Year
Tenant's Proportionate Share of Expenses and Taxes incurred
for such Lease Year. As of the date of this Lease, Landlord's
current estimate of Tenant's Proportionate Share of Expenses
and Taxes for the Building is $0.34 per rentable square foot
of the Premises.
4.3 The annual determination of Expenses shall be made by Landlord
and shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant, subject to the
provisions of this Section 4.3. During the Term, Tenant may
review, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, the books and
records supporting such determination in an office of
Landlord, or Landlord's agent, during normal business hours,
upon giving Landlord five (5) days advance written notice
within ninety (90) days after receipt of such determination,
but in no event more often than once in any one (1) year
period, subject to execution of a confidentiality agreement
acceptable to Landlord, and provided that if Tenant utilizes
an independent accountant to perform such review it shall be
one of national standing which is reasonably acceptable to
Landlord, is not compensated on a contingency basis and is
also subject to such confidentiality agreement. Tenant shall
be solely responsible for all costs, expenses and fees
incurred for such review. However, notwithstanding the
foregoing, if Landlord and Tenant determine that Expenses for
the Building for the year in question were less than stated by
more than 5%, Landlord, within 30 days after its receipt of
paid invoices therefor from Tenant, shall reimburse Tenant for
the reasonable amounts paid by Tenant to third parties in
connection with such review by Tenant. If Tenant fails to
object to Landlord's determination of Expenses within ninety
(90) days after receipt, or if any such objection fails to
state with specificity the reason for the objection, Tenant
shall be deemed to have approved such determination and shall
have no further right to object to or contest such
determination. In the event that during all or any portion of
any Lease Year or Base Year, the Building is not fully rented
and occupied Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment in
occupancy-related Expenses for such year for the purpose of
avoiding distortion of the amount of such Expenses to be
attributed to Tenant by reason of variation in total occupancy
of the Building, by employing consistent and sound accounting
and management principles to determine Expenses that would
have been paid or incurred by Landlord had the Building been
at least ninety-five percent (95%) rented and occupied, and
the amount so determined shall be deemed to have been Expenses
for such Lease Year.
4.4 Prior to the actual determination thereof for a Lease Year,
Landlord may from time to time estimate Tenant's liability for
Expenses and/or Taxes under Section 4.2, Article 6 and Article
28 for the Lease Year or portion thereof. Landlord will give
Tenant written notification of the amount of such estimate and
Tenant agrees that it will pay, by increase of its Monthly
Installments of Rent due in such Lease Year, additional rent
in the amount of such estimate. Any such increased rate of
Monthly Installments of Rent pursuant to this Section 4.4
shall remain in effect until further written notification to
Tenant pursuant hereto.
6
4.5 When the above mentioned actual determination of Tenant's
liability for Expenses and/or Taxes is made for any Lease Year
and when Tenant is so notified in writing, then:
4.5.1 If the total additional rent Tenant actually paid
pursuant to Section 4.3 on account of Expenses and/or
Taxes for the Lease Year is less than Tenant's
liability for Expenses and/or Taxes, then Tenant
shall pay such deficiency to Landlord as additional
rent in one lump sum within thirty (30) days of
receipt of Landlord's xxxx therefor; and
4.5.2 If the total additional rent Tenant actually paid
pursuant to Section 4.3 on account of Expenses and/or
Taxes for the Lease Year is more than Tenant's
liability for Expenses and/or Taxes, then Landlord
shall credit the difference against the then next due
payments to be made by Tenant under this Article 4,
or, if the Lease has terminated, refund the
difference in cash.
4.6 If the Commencement Date is other than January 1 or if the
Termination Date is other than December 31, Tenant's liability
for Expenses and Taxes for the Lease Year in which said Date
occurs shall be prorated based upon a three hundred sixty-five
(365) day year.
5. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Tenant shall deposit the Security Deposit with
Landlord upon the execution of this Lease. Landlord may commingle the
Security Deposit with other funds and shall in no event be required to
pay interest or any other charges or fees to Tenant with respect to the
Security Deposit. Said sum shall be held by Landlord as security for
the faithful performance by Tenant of all the terms, covenants and
conditions of this Lease to be kept and performed by Tenant and not as
an advance rental deposit or as a measure of Landlord's damage in case
of Tenant's default. If Tenant defaults with respect to any provision
of this Lease beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure
periods, Landlord may use any part of the Security Deposit for the
payment of any rent or any other sum in default, or for the payment of
any amount which Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by
reason of Tenant's default, or to compensate Landlord for any other
loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant's default.
If any portion is so used, Tenant shall within five (5) days after
written demand therefor, deposit with Landlord an amount sufficient to
restore the Security Deposit to its original amount and Tenant's
failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease. Except to
such extent, if any, as shall be required by law, Landlord shall not be
required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general funds,
and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on such deposit. If Tenant
shall fully and faithfully perform every provision of this Lease to be
performed by it, the Security Deposit or any balance thereof shall be
returned to Tenant at such time after termination of this Lease when
Landlord shall have determined that all of Tenant's obligations under
this Lease have been fulfilled. If Tenant is not in default at the
termination of this Lease, Landlord shall return any unapplied balance
of the Security Deposit to Tenant within 30 days after Tenant
surrenders the Premises to Landlord in accordance with this Lease. In
addition to any other deductions Landlord is entitled to make pursuant
to the terms hereof, Landlord shall have the right to make a good faith
estimate of any unreconciled Expenses and/or Taxes as of the
Termination Date and to deduct any anticipated shortfall from the
Security Deposit. Such estimate shall be final and binding upon Tenant.
Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California
Civil Code, or any similar or successor Regulations or other laws now
or hereinafter in effect to the extent the same conflicts with any of
the terms and conditions of this Lease.
6. ALTERATIONS.
6.1 Except for those, if any, specifically provided for in Exhibit
B to this Lease, Tenant shall not make or suffer to be made
any alterations, additions, or improvements, including, but
not limited to, the attachment of any fixtures or equipment
in, on, or to the Premises or any part thereof or the making
of any improvements as required by Article 7, without the
prior written consent of Landlord. So long as the same do not
affect the structure of the Building or any of the Building
systems, Tenant may install non-attached trade fixtures in the
Premises without Landlord's prior consent but otherwise in
accordance with the terms of this Article 6. When applying for
such consent, Tenant shall, if requested by Landlord, furnish
complete plans and specifications for such alterations,
additions and improvements. Landlord's consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld with respect to alterations which (i)
are not structural in nature, (ii) are not visible from the
exterior of the Building, (iii) do not affect or require
modification of the Building's electrical, mechanical,
plumbing, HVAC or other systems, and (iv) in aggregate do not
cost more than $5.00 per rentable square foot of that portion
of the Premises affected by the alterations in question.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord's consent shall not be
required for any alteration that satisfies all of the
following criteria (a "Permitted Alteration"): (1) is not
reasonably visible from the exterior of the Premises or
7
Building; (2) will not affect the systems or structure of the
Building; (3) does not require work to be performed inside the
walls or above the ceiling of the Premises; and (4) all such
alterations cost less than $30,000.00 in the aggregate in any
12 month period during the Term. However, even though consent
is not required, the performance of Permitted Alterations
shall be subject to all the other provisions of this Article
6.
6.2 In the event Landlord consents to the making of any such
alteration, addition or improvement by Tenant, the same shall
be made by using either Landlord's contractor or a contractor
reasonably approved by Landlord, in either event at Tenant's
sole cost and expense. If Tenant shall employ any contractor
other than Landlord's contractor and such other contractor or
any subcontractor of such other contractor shall employ any
non-union labor or supplier, Tenant shall be responsible for
and hold Landlord harmless from any and all delays, damages
and extra costs suffered by Landlord as a result of any
dispute with any labor unions concerning the wage, hours,
terms or conditions of the employment of any such labor. In
any event, with respect to alterations other than Permitted
Alterations only, Landlord may charge Tenant a construction
management fee not to exceed five percent (5%) of the cost of
such work to cover its overhead as it relates to such proposed
work, plus third-party costs actually incurred by Landlord in
connection with the proposed work and the design thereof, with
all such amounts being due five (5) days after Landlord's
demand.
6.3 All alterations, additions or improvements proposed by Tenant
shall be constructed in accordance with all government laws,
ordinances, rules and regulations, using Building standard
materials where applicable, and Tenant shall, prior to
construction, provide the additional insurance required under
Article 11 in such case, and also all such assurances to
Landlord as Landlord shall reasonably require to assure
payment of the costs thereof, including but not limited to,
notices of non-responsibility, waivers of lien and surety
company performance bonds and to protect Landlord and the
Building and appurtenant land against any loss from any
mechanic's, materialmen's or other liens. Tenant shall pay in
addition to any sums due pursuant to Article 4, any increase
in real estate taxes attributable to any such alteration,
addition or improvement for so long, during the Term, as such
increase is ascertainable; at Landlord's election said sums
shall be paid in the same way as sums due under Article 4.
6.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, so
long as Tenant's written request for consent for a proposed
alteration or improvements contains the following statement in
large, bold and capped font "PURSUANT TO SECTION 6 OF THE
LEASE, IF LANDLORD CONSENTS TO THE SUBJECT ALTERATION,
LANDLORD SHALL NOTIFY TENANT IN WRITING (1) WHETHER OR NOT
LANDLORD WILL REQUIRE SUCH ALTERATION TO BE REMOVED AT THE
EXPIRATION OR EARLIER TERMINATION OF THE LEASE AND, (2) IF
SUCH REMOVAL IS REQUIRED, WHETHER OR NOT TENANT SHALL BE
REQUIRED TO DEPOSIT WITH LANDLORD THE AMOUNT REASONABLY
ESTIMATED BY LANDLORD AS SUFFICIENT TO COVER THE COST OF
REMOVING SUCH ALTERATIONS OR IMPROVEMENTS AND RESTORING THE
PREMISES AND, IF SO, SUCH ESTIMATED AMOUNT.", at the time
Landlord gives its consent for any alterations or
improvements, if it so does, Tenant shall also be notified (i)
whether or not Landlord will require that such alterations or
improvements be removed upon the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease and, (ii) to the extent that such
removal is required, whether Landlord shall require Tenant to
deposit with Landlord the amount reasonably estimated by
Landlord as sufficient to cover the cost of removing such
alterations or improvements and restoring the Premises, to the
extent required under Section 26.2, and the estimated amount
thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Lease, at the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease and otherwise in accordance with Article 26 hereof,
Tenant shall be required to remove all alterations or
improvements made to the Premises except for any such
alterations or improvements which Landlord expressly indicates
or is deemed to have indicated shall not be required to be
removed from the Premises by Tenant. If Tenant's written
notice strictly complies with the foregoing and if Landlord
fails to so notify Tenant whether Tenant shall be required to
remove the subject alterations or improvements at the
expiration or earlier termination of this lease, Tenant is
entitled to deliver to Landlord a second written notice (the
"Second Notice") in compliance with the foregoing requirements
but also stating in large, bold and capped font the following:
"THIS IS TENANT'S SECOND NOTICE TO LANDLORD. LANDLORD FAILED
TO RESPOND TO TENANT'S FIRST NOTICE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
TERMS OF ARTICLE 6 OF THE LEASE. IF LANDLORD FAILS TO RESPOND
TO THIS NOTICE IN FIVE BUSINESS DAYS WITH RESPECT TO THE
DEPOSIT OF REMOVAL AND RESTORATION FUNDS, TENANT SHALL
8
HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO DEPOSIT WITH LANDLORD THE AMOUNT
REASONABLY ESTIMATED BY LANDLORD AS SUFFICIENT TO COVER THE
COST OF REMOVING SUCH ALTERATIONS OR IMPROVEMENTS AND
RESTORING THE PREMISES. IF LANLDORD FAILS TO REPSOND TO THIS
NOTICE IN FIVE BUSINESS DAYS WITH RESPECT TO TENANT'S
OBLIGATION TO REMOVE THE SUBJECT ALTERATION, TENANT SHALL HAVE
NO OBLIGATION TO REMOVE THE SUBJECT ALTERATION AT THE
EXPIRATION OR EARLIER TERMINATION OF ITS LEASE". If Landlord
fails to respond to the Second Notice within five business
days of Landlord's receipt thereof, it shall be assumed that,
with respect to Tenant's obligation to remove the subject
alterations or improvements, Landlord shall not require the
removal of the subject alterations or improvements. If
Landlord fails to respond to the Second Notice within five
business days of Landlord's receipt thereof, it shall be
assumed that, with respect to Tenant's obligation to deposit
sufficient funds with Landlord for the removal of the subject
alterations or improvements, Landlord shall not require any
such deposit from Tenant with respect thereto.
7. REPAIR.
7.1 Landlord shall have no obligation to alter, remodel, improve,
repair, decorate or paint the Premises except that Landlord
shall repair and maintain the following, the cost of which may
be included in Expenses as provided in Article 4 of this
Lease: the structural portions of the roof, the roof membrane,
the common areas, foundation and walls of the Building and the
Building mechanical, sprinkler/life safety systems, electrical
and plumbing systems servicing the project in general (not
specifically servicing the Premises, the repair and
maintenance of which shall be Tenant's responsibility
hereunder); provided, however, that, subject to the terms
hereof, Tenant, not Landlord shall repair and maintain the
heating, ventilating and air conditioning unit(s) servicing
the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord's repair
and maintenance obligations with respect to the following
shall be at Landlord's sole cost and expense: the foundation
and the exterior walls of the Building. By taking possession
of the Premises, Tenant accepts them as being in good order,
condition and repair and in the condition in which Landlord is
obligated to deliver them except as otherwise expressly stated
in this Lease. It is hereby understood and agreed that no
representations respecting the condition of the Premises or
the Building have been made by Landlord to Tenant, except as
specifically set forth in this Lease. Landlord shall not be
liable for any failure to make any 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.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall perform and
construct, and Tenant shall have no responsibility to perform
or construct, any repair, maintenance or improvements (a)
necessitated by the negligence or willful misconduct of
Landlord, and (b) which Landlord shall determine to be capital
improvement (the cost thereof may be an Expense pursuant to
Section 4.1.2 of this Lease).
7.2 To the extent the same is not an express obligation of
Landlord pursuant to Section 7.1 above, Tenant shall at its
own cost and expense keep and maintain all parts of the
Premises and such portion of the Building and improvements as
are within the exclusive control of Tenant (including, without
limitation, electrical and plumbing systems servicing the
Premises) in good condition, promptly making all necessary
repairs and replacements, whether ordinary or extraordinary,
with materials and workmanship of the same character, kind and
quality as the original (including, but not limited to, repair
and replacement of all fixtures installed by Tenant, water
heaters serving the Premises, windows, glass and plate glass,
doors, exterior stairs, skylights, if any, any special office
entries, interior walls and finish work, floors and floor
coverings, heating and air conditioning systems serving the
Premises, electrical systems and fixtures, sprinkler systems,
dock boards, truck doors, dock bumpers, plumbing work and
fixtures, and performance of regular removal of trash and
debris). Tenant as part of its obligations hereunder shall
keep the Premises in a clean and sanitary condition. Tenant
will, as far as possible keep all such parts of the Premises
from falling temporarily out of repair, and upon termination
of this Lease in any way Tenant will yield up the Premises to
Landlord in good condition and repair, loss by fire or other
casualty excepted (but not excepting any damage to glass).
Subject to the waiver of subrogation provided in Section 12,
Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, repair any damage
to the Premises or the Building resulting from and/or caused
in whole or in part by the negligence or misconduct of Tenant,
its agents, employees, contractors, invitees, or any other
person entering upon the Premises as a result of Tenant's
business activities or caused by Tenant's default hereunder
7.3 Except as provided in Article 22, there shall be no abatement
of rent and no liability of Landlord by reason of any injury
to or interference with Tenant's business arising from the
making of any repairs, alterations or
9
improvements in or to any portion of the Building or the
Premises or to fixtures, appurtenances and equipment in the
Building. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights under and
benefits of subsection 1 of Section 1932 and Sections 1941 and
1942 of the California Civil Code, or any similar or successor
Regulations or other laws now or hereinafter in effect. Except
in emergency situations as determined by Landlord, Landlord
shall exercise reasonable efforts not to unreasonably
interfere with the conduct of the business of Tenant in the
Premises.
7.4 Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, enter into a
regularly scheduled preventive maintenance/service contract
with a maintenance contractor approved by Landlord for
servicing all heating and air conditioning systems and
equipment serving the Premises (and a copy thereof shall be
furnished to Landlord). The service contract must include all
services suggested by the equipment manufacturer in the
operation/maintenance manual and must become effective within
thirty (30) days of the date Tenant takes possession of the
Premises. At Landlord's election, Landlord may, upon notice to
Tenant, enter into such a maintenance/ service contract on
behalf of Tenant or perform the work and in either case,
charge Tenant the cost thereof along with a reasonable amount
for Landlord's overhead.
7.5 If applicable, Landlord shall coordinate any repairs and other
maintenance of any railroad tracks serving the Building and,
if Tenant uses such rail tracks, Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord or the railroad company from time to time upon
demand, as additional rent, for its share of the costs of such
repair and maintenance and for any other sums specified in any
agreement to which Landlord or Tenant is a party respecting
such tracks, such costs to be borne proportionately by all
tenants in the Building using such rail tracks, based upon the
actual number of rail cars shipped and received by such tenant
during each calendar year during the Term.
8. LIENS. Tenant shall keep the Premises, the Building and appurtenant
land and Tenant's leasehold interest in the Premises free from any
liens arising out of any services, work or materials performed,
furnished, or contracted for by Tenant, or obligations incurred by
Tenant. In the event that Tenant fails, within ten (10) days following
the imposition of any such lien, to either cause the same to be
released of record or provide Landlord with insurance against the same
issued by a major title insurance company or such other protection
against the same as Landlord shall accept (such failure to constitute
an Event of Default), Landlord shall have the right to cause the same
to be released by such means as it shall deem proper, including payment
of the claim giving rise to such lien. All such sums paid by Landlord
and all expenses incurred by it in connection therewith shall be
payable to it by Tenant within five (5) days after Landlord's demand.
9. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
9.1 Tenant shall not have the right to assign or pledge this Lease
or to sublet the whole or any part of the Premises whether
voluntarily or by operation of law, or permit the use or
occupancy of the Premises by anyone other than Tenant, and
shall not make, suffer or permit such assignment, subleasing
or occupancy without the prior written consent of Landlord,
such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, and said
restrictions shall be binding upon any and all assignees of
the Lease and subtenants of the Premises. In the event Tenant
desires to sublet, or permit such occupancy of, the Premises,
or any portion thereof, or assign this Lease, Tenant shall
give written notice thereof to Landlord at least thirty (30)
days prior to the proposed commencement date of such
subletting or assignment, which notice shall set forth the
name of the proposed subtenant or assignee, the relevant terms
of any sublease or assignment and copies of financial reports
and other relevant financial information of the proposed
subtenant or assignee. To the extent reasonably necessary,
upon written request by Tenant, Landlord shall enter into a
commercially reasonable confidentiality agreement covering any
confidential information that is disclosed by Tenant with
respect to the financial reports and other relevant financial
information of the proposed subtenant or assignee.
9.2 Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting, permitted or
otherwise, Tenant shall at all times remain directly,
primarily and fully responsible and liable for the payment of
the rent specified in this Lease and for compliance with all
of its other obligations under the terms, provisions and
covenants of this Lease. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, if the Premises or any part of them are then assigned
or sublet, Landlord, in addition to any other remedies
provided in this Lease or provided by law, may, at its option,
collect directly from such assignee or subtenant all rents due
and becoming due to Tenant under such assignment or sublease
and apply such rent against any sums due to Landlord from
Tenant under this
10
Lease, and no such collection shall be construed to constitute
a novation or release of Tenant from the further performance
of Tenant's obligations under this Lease.
9.3 In addition to Landlord's right to approve of any subtenant or
assignee, Landlord shall have the option, in its sole
discretion, in the event of any proposed assignment of this
Lease, or with respect to a subletting, (i) for a term which
is for more than 50% of the then remaining Term of this Lease
(as the same may have been extended) or (ii) of 30% or more of
the Premises, to terminate this Lease, or in the case of a
proposed subletting of less than the entire Premises, to
recapture the portion of the Premises to be sublet, as of the
date the subletting or assignment is to be effective. The
foregoing shall not apply to Permitted Transfers, Affiliated
Parties, and any Corporate Successors (as each such term is
defined in Paragraph 9.8 below). The option shall be
exercised, if at all, by Landlord giving Tenant written notice
given by Landlord to Tenant within twenty (20) days following
Landlord's receipt of Tenant's written notice as required
above. However, if Tenant notifies Landlord, within five (5)
days after receipt of Landlord's termination notice, that
Tenant is rescinding its proposed assignment or sublease, the
termination notice shall be void and the Lease shall continue
in full force and effect. If this Lease shall be terminated
with respect to the entire Premises pursuant to this Section,
the Term of this Lease shall end on the date stated in
Tenant's notice as the effective date of the sublease or
assignment as if that date had been originally fixed in this
Lease for the expiration of the Term. If Landlord recaptures
under this Section only a portion of the Premises, the rent to
be paid from time to time during the unexpired Term shall
xxxxx proportionately based on the proportion by which the
approximate square footage of the remaining portion of the
Premises shall be less than that of the Premises as of the
date immediately prior to such recapture. Tenant shall, at
Tenant's own cost and expense, discharge in full any
outstanding commission obligation which may be due and owing
as a result of any proposed assignment or subletting, whether
or not the Premises are recaptured pursuant to this Section
9.3 and rented by Landlord to the proposed tenant or any other
tenant.
9.4 In the event that Tenant sells, sublets, assigns or transfers
this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent an
amount equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of any Increased
Rent (as defined below), less the Costs Component (as defined
below), when and as such Increased Rent is received by Tenant.
As used in this Section, "Increased Rent" shall mean the
excess of (i) all rent and other consideration which Tenant is
entitled to receive by reason of any sale, sublease,
assignment or other transfer of this Lease, over (ii) the rent
otherwise payable by Tenant under this Lease at such time. For
purposes of the foregoing, any consideration received by
Tenant in form other than cash shall be valued at its fair
market value as determined by Landlord in good faith. The
"Costs Component" is that amount which, if paid monthly, would
fully amortize on a straight-line basis, over the entire
period for which Tenant is to receive Increased Rent, the
reasonable costs incurred by Tenant for legal fees, leasing
commissions and tenant improvements constructed by or on
behalf of Tenant and performed solely to bring about such
sublease, assignment or other transfer.
9.5 Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, it shall be
considered reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to
any assignment of this Lease or sublease of any portion of the
Premises if at the time of either Tenant's notice of the
proposed assignment or sublease or the proposed commencement
date thereof, there shall exist any uncured event of Default
of Tenant or matter which will become an Event of Default of
Tenant with passage of time unless cured, or if the proposed
assignee or sublessee is an entity: (a) with which Landlord is
already in negotiation; (b) is already an occupant of the
Building unless Landlord is unable to provide the amount of
space required by such occupant; (c) is a governmental agency;
(d) is incompatible with the character of occupancy of the
Building; (e) with which the payment for the sublease or
assignment is determined in whole or in part based upon its
net income or profits; or (f) would subject the Premises to a
use which would: (i) involve increased wear upon the Building;
(ii) violate any exclusive right granted to another tenant of
the Building; (iii) require any addition to or modification of
the Premises or the Building in order to comply with building
code or other governmental requirements; or, (iv) involve a
violation of Section 1.2. Tenant expressly agrees that for the
purposes of any statutory or other requirement of
reasonableness on the part of Landlord, Landlord's refusal to
consent to any assignment or sublease for any of the reasons
described in this Section 9.5, shall be conclusively deemed to
be reasonable.
9.6 Upon any request to assign or sublet, Tenant will pay to
Landlord the Assignment/Subletting Fee plus, on demand, a sum
equal to all of Landlord's costs, including reasonable
attorney's fees, incurred in investigating, considering
reviewing and documenting any proposed or purported assignment
or pledge of this Lease or sublease of any of the Premises
(the "Review Reimbursement" and together with the
11
Assignment/Subletting Fee, collectively, the "Total
Reimbursement"), regardless of whether Landlord shall consent
to, refuse consent, or determine that Landlord's consent is
not required for, such assignment, pledge or sublease. Except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Total
Reimbursement shall not exceed $1,000.00 (the "Cap"). Any
purported sale, assignment, mortgage, transfer of this Lease
or subletting which does not comply with the provisions of
this Article 9 shall be void. Landlord shall notify Tenant if
Landlord reasonably estimates that the Total Reimbursement
shall exceed the Cap and shall inform Tenant of the amount of
Landlord's reasonable estimate of the Total Reimbursement (the
"Estimated Fees"). If the Estimated Fees exceed the Cap, then
the Cap shall not apply and Tenant shall pay to Landlord the
amount of the Total Reimbursement up to an amount not to
exceed 120% of the amount of the Estimated Fees.
9.7 If Tenant is a corporation, limited liability company,
partnership or trust, any transfer or transfers of or change
or changes within any twelve (12) month period in the number
of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation or limited
liability company, the general partnership interests in the
partnership or the identity of the persons or entities
controlling the activities of such partnership or trust
resulting in the persons or entities owning or controlling a
majority of such shares, partnership interests or activities
of such partnership or trust at the beginning of such period
no longer having such ownership or control shall be regarded
as equivalent to an assignment of this Lease to the persons or
entities acquiring such ownership or control and shall be
subject to all the provisions of this Article 9 to the same
extent and for all intents and purposes as though such an
assignment; provided, however, to the extent Tenant is a
corporation, the foregoing shall not apply to a single
transfer (or series of related transfers that are part of the
same general transaction and which proximately occur) of all
or substantially all of the capital stock of Tenant to one
recipient (whether an individual or an entity) so long as
there is no diminution of the Tenant's tangible net worth as a
result thereof.
9.8 So long as Tenant is not entering into the Permitted Transfer
(as defined herein) for the purpose of avoiding or otherwise
circumventing the remaining terms of this Article 9, Tenant
may assign its entire interest under this Lease, without the
consent of Landlord, to (i) an affiliate, subsidiary, or
parent of Tenant, or a corporation, partnership or other legal
entity wholly owned by Tenant (collectively, an "Affiliated
Party"), or (ii) a successor to Tenant by purchase, merger,
consolidation or reorganization (a "Corporate Successor"),
provided that all of the following conditions are satisfied
(each such transfer a "Permitted Transfer"): (1) Tenant is not
in default under this Lease; (2) the Permitted Use does not
allow the Premises to be used for retail purposes; (3) Tenant
shall give Landlord written notice at least 15 days prior to
the effective date of the proposed Permitted Transfer;
provided, however, that to the extent that Tenant is
prohibited by any applicable law, rule, regulation, ordinance
of code from providing the foregoing notice, Tenant shall
provide notice to Landlord as soon as is reasonably possible
but in no event later than two (2) business days following the
effective date of any such Permitted Transfer; (4) with
respect to a proposed Permitted Transfer to an Affiliated
Party, the proposed transferee has a tangible net worth,
financial standing and financial resources, as evidenced by
current financial statements satisfactory to Landlord and
certified by an independent certified public accountant,
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles that are consistently applied, reasonably
sufficient, taking into account all expected obligations of
the transferee with respect to the proposed transfer and all
of its other contingent and noncontingent obligations, to
service when due the obligations of the transferee with
respect to the proposed Permitted Transfer; and (5) with
respect to a purchase, merger, consolidation or reorganization
or any Permitted Transfer which results in Tenant ceasing to
exist as a separate legal entity, (a) Tenant's successor shall
own all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, and (b)
Tenant's successor shall have a tangible net worth which is at
least equal to Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) as
evidenced by current financial statements satisfactory to
Landlord and certified by an independent certified public
accountant, prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles that are consistently applied. Tenant's
notice to Landlord shall include information and documentation
showing that each of the above conditions has been satisfied.
If requested by Landlord, Tenant's successor shall sign a
commercially reasonable form of assumption agreement. As used
herein, (A) "parent" shall mean a company which owns a
majority of Tenant's voting equity; (B) "subsidiary" shall
mean an entity wholly owned by Tenant or at least 51% of whose
voting equity is owned by Tenant; and (C) "affiliate" shall
mean an entity controlled, controlling or under common control
with Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any parent,
affiliate or subsidiary to which this Lease has been assigned
or transferred subsequently sells or transfers its voting
equity or its interest under this Lease other than to another
parent, subsidiary or affiliate
12
of the original Tenant named hereunder, such sale or transfer
shall be deemed to be a transfer requiring the consent of
Landlord hereunder.
10. INDEMNIFICATION. None of the Landlord Entities shall be liable and
Tenant hereby waives all claims against them for any damage to any
property or any injury to any person in or about the Premises or the
Building by or from any cause whatsoever (including without limiting
the foregoing, rain or water leakage of any character from the roof,
windows, walls, basement, pipes, plumbing works or appliances, the
Building not being in good condition or repair, gas, fire, oil,
electricity or theft), except to the extent caused by or arising from
the active negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents,
employees or contractors, or a breach of this lease by Landlord. Tenant
shall protect, indemnify and hold the Landlord Entities harmless from
and against any and all loss, claims, liability or costs (including
court costs and attorney's fees) incurred by reason of (a) any damage
to any property (including but not limited to property of any Landlord
Entity) or any injury (including but not limited to death) to any
person occurring in, on or about the Premises or the Building to the
extent that such injury or damage shall be caused by or arise from any
actual or alleged act, neglect, fault, or omission by or of Tenant or
any Tenant Entity to meet any standards imposed by any duty with
respect to the injury or damage; (b) the conduct or management of any
work or thing whatsoever done by the Tenant in or about the Premises or
from transactions of the Tenant concerning the Premises; (c) Tenant's
failure to comply with any and all governmental laws, ordinances and
regulations applicable to the condition or use of the Premises or its
occupancy; or (d) any breach or default on the part of Tenant in the
performance of any covenant or agreement on the part of the Tenant to
be performed pursuant to this Lease. The provisions of this Article
shall survive the termination of this Lease with respect to any claims
or liability accruing prior to such termination.
11. INSURANCE.
11.1 Tenant shall keep in force throughout the Term: (a) a
Commercial General Liability insurance policy or policies to
protect the Landlord Entities against any liability to the
public or to any invitee of Tenant or a Landlord Entity
incidental to the use of or resulting from any accident
occurring in or upon the Premises with a limit of not less
than $1,000,000 per occurrence and not less than $2,000,000 in
the annual aggregate, or such larger amount as Landlord may
prudently require from time to time so long as such larger
amounts are typically carried by similar commercial tenants in
similar buildings and in the same geographic area in which the
Building is located, covering bodily injury and property
damage liability and $1,000,000 products/completed operations
aggregate; (b) Business Auto Liability covering owned,
non-owned and hired vehicles with a limit of not less than
$1,000,000 per accident; (c) insurance protecting against
liability under Worker's Compensation Laws with limits at
least as required by statute; (d) Employers Liability with
limits of $1,000,000 each accident, $1,000,000 disease policy
limit, $1,000,000 disease--each employee; (e) All Risk or
Special Form coverage protecting Tenant against loss of or
damage to Tenant's alterations, additions, improvements
(including the Improvements), carpeting, floor coverings,
panelings, decorations, fixtures, inventory and other business
personal property situated in or about the Premises to the
full replacement value of the property so insured, (f)
Business Interruption Insurance for 100% of the 12 months
actual loss sustained, and (g) Excess Liability in the amount
of $5,000,000.
11.2 The aforesaid policies shall (a) be provided at Tenant's
expense; (b) name the Landlord Entities as additional insureds
(General Liability) and loss payee (Property--Special Form);
(c) be issued by an insurance company with a minimum Best's
rating of "A:VII" during the Term; and (d) provide that said
insurance shall not be canceled unless thirty (30) days prior
written notice (ten days for non-payment of premium) shall
have been given to Landlord; a certificate of Liability
insurance on XXXXX Form 25 and a certificate of Property
insurance on XXXXX Form 27 shall be delivered to Landlord by
Tenant upon the Commencement Date and at least twenty (20)
days prior to each renewal of said insurance.
11.3 Whenever Tenant shall undertake any alterations, additions or
improvements in, to or about the Premises ("Work") the
aforesaid insurance protection must extend to and include
injuries to persons and damage to property arising in
connection with such Work, without limitation including
liability under any applicable structural work act, and such
other insurance as Landlord shall require; and the policies of
or certificates evidencing such insurance must be delivered to
Landlord prior to the commencement of any such Work.
11.4 Landlord shall keep in force throughout the Term Commercial
General Liability Insurance and All Risk or Special Form
coverage insuring the Landlord and the Building, in such
amounts and with such deductibles
13
as Landlord determines from time to time in accordance with
sound and reasonable risk management principles. The cost of
all such insurance is included in Expenses.
12. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the
contrary, Landlord and Tenant hereby waive, and shall cause their
respective insurance carriers to waive, any and all rights of recovery,
claim, action or causes of action against the other and their
respective trustees, principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers,
directors, agents, and employees, by subrogation, to the extent the
same is insured against (or is required to be insured against under the
terms hereof) for any loss or damage that may occur to Landlord or
Tenant or any party claiming by, through or under Landlord or Tenant,
as the case may be, with respect to Tenant's personal property, the
Premises, the Building, the project of which the Building is a part,
any additions or improvements to the Premises, the Building or the
project of which the Building is a part, or any contents thereof,
including all rights of recovery, claims, actions or causes of action
arising out of the negligence of Landlord or any parties related to or
comprising Landlord or the negligence of Tenant or parties related to
or comprising Tenant, which loss or damage is (or would have been, had
the insurance required by this Lease been carried and as if the All
Risk or Special Form coverage insuring the Landlord and the Building
and required to be carried by Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 12 above
is carried at full replacement value) covered by property damage
insurance.
13. SERVICES AND UTILITIES. Tenant shall pay for all water, gas, heat,
light, power, telephone, sewer, sprinkler system charges and other
utilities and services used on or from the Premises, together with any
taxes, penalties, and surcharges or the like pertaining thereto and any
maintenance charges for utilities. Tenant shall furnish all electric
light bulbs, tubes and ballasts, battery packs for emergency lighting
and fire extinguishers. Landlord hereby represents to Tenant that the
Premises as initially configured in this Lease is separately metered.
Tenant will not, without the written consent of Landlord, contract with
a utility provider to service the Premises with any utility, including,
but not limited to, telecommunications, electricity, water, sewer or
gas, which is not previously providing such service to other tenants in
the Building. Landlord shall in no event be liable for any interruption
or failure of utility services on or to the Premises.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant is prevented from using, and
does not use, all or part of the Premises (the "Affected Area") as a
result of a Essential Services Interruption Event as defined below, and
the remaining portions of the Premises are not reasonably sufficient to
allow Tenant to conduct its business in the Premises and if this
Essential Services Interruption Event continues for three (3)
consecutive business days after Landlord's receipt of notice from
Tenant of the Essential Services Interruption Event (the "Eligibility
Period"), the Rent payable under this Lease shall be abated after the
expiration of the Eligibility Period for such time that Tenant
continues to be prevented from using, and does not use, the Affected
Area in the proportion that the rentable area of the Affected Area
bears to the total rentable area of the Premises. If, however, Tenant
reoccupies any portion of the Premises during this period, the Rent
allocable to this reoccupied portion (based on the proportion that the
rentable area of the reoccupied portion of the Premises bears to the
total rentable area of the Premises) shall be payable by Tenant from
the date on which Tenant reoccupies this portion of the Premises. An
"Essential Services Interruption Event" shall mean the failure of or
interruption in essential services required to be supplied by Landlord
to the Premises during ordinary business hours of generally recognized
business days which occurs solely as a result of Landlord's active
negligence or willful misconduct. In the event of a stoppage or
interruption of services, Landlord shall diligently attempt to resume
such services as promptly as practicable.
14. HOLDING OVER. Tenant shall pay Landlord for each day Tenant retains
possession of the Premises or part of them after termination of this
Lease by lapse of time or otherwise at the rate ("Holdover Rate") which
shall be One Hundred Fifty Percent (150%) of the greater of (a) the
amount of the Annual Rent for the last period prior to the date of such
termination plus all Rent Adjustments under Article 4; and (b) the then
market rental value of the Premises as determined by Landlord assuming
a new lease of the Premises of the then usual duration and other terms,
in either case, prorated on a daily basis, and also pay all damages
sustained by Landlord by reason of such retention. If Landlord gives
notice to Tenant of Landlord's election to such effect, such holding
over shall constitute renewal of this Lease for a period from month to
month or one (1) year, whichever shall be specified in such notice, in
either case at the Holdover Rate, but if the Landlord does not so
elect, no such renewal shall result notwithstanding acceptance by
Landlord of any sums due hereunder after such termination; and instead,
a tenancy at sufferance at the Holdover Rate shall be deemed to have
been created. In any event, no provision of this Article 14 shall be
deemed to waive Landlord's right of reentry or any other right under
this Lease or at law.
15. SUBORDINATION. Without the necessity of any additional document being
executed by Tenant for the purpose of effecting a subordination, this
Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times to ground or
underlying leases and to the lien of any mortgages or deeds of trust
now or hereafter placed on, against or affecting the Building,
14
Landlord's interest or estate in the Building, or any ground or
underlying lease; provided, however, that if the lessor, mortgagee,
trustee, or holder of any such mortgage or deed of trust elects to have
Tenant's interest in this Lease be superior to any such instrument,
then, by notice to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed superior, whether
this Lease was executed before or after said instrument.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant covenants and agrees to execute
and deliver within ten (10) days of Landlord's request such further
instruments evidencing such subordination or superiority of this Lease
as may be required by Landlord. As of the date hereof, a lien encumbers
Landlord's interest in the Building in favor of LaSalle Bank N. A., as
Trustee for the holders of Calwest Industrial Trust Commercial Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates Series 2002-CALW. At Tenant's cost, Landlord
shall provide Tenant with a non-disturbance, subordination, and
attornment agreement in favor of Tenant in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit F (the "SNDA") within 45 days following Tenant's execution and
delivery thereof to Landlord.
16. RULES AND REGULATIONS. Tenant shall faithfully observe and comply with
all the rules and regulations as set forth in Exhibit D to this Lease
and all reasonable and non-discriminatory modifications of and
additions to them from time to time put into effect by Landlord,
provided that any such modification and/or additions shall not
materially increase Tenant's obligations or decrease Tenant's rights or
parking ratio as provided in this Lease. Landlord shall not be
responsible to Tenant for the non-performance by any other tenant or
occupant of the Building of any such rules and regulations. If there is
a conflict between this Lease and any rules and regulations enacted
after the date of this Lease, the terms of this Lease shall control.
The rules and regulations shall be generally applicable, and generally
applied in the same manner, to all tenants of the Building.
17. REENTRY BY LANDLORD.
17.1 Landlord reserves and shall at all times have the right to
re-enter the Premises to inspect the same, to show said
Premises to prospective purchasers or mortgagees, and to
alter, improve or repair the Premises and any portion of the
Building, and, during the last 9 months of the Term, to show
said Premises to prospective tenants, without abatement of
rent, and may for that purpose erect, use and maintain
scaffolding, pipes, conduits and other necessary structures
and open any wall, ceiling or floor in and through the
Building and Premises where reasonably required by the
character of the work to be performed, provided entrance to
the Premises shall not be blocked thereby, and further
provided that the business of Tenant shall not be interfered
with unreasonably. Except in emergencies, Landlord shall
provide Tenant with reasonable prior notice of entry into the
Premises, which may be given orally. During any entry by
Landlord to the Premises as provided herein, Landlord shall
comply with all reasonable security measures pertaining to the
Premises and of which Tenant has provided reasonable advance
written notice to Landlord. Landlord shall have the right at
any time to change the arrangement and/or locations of
entrances, or passageways, doors and doorways, and corridors,
windows, elevators, stairs, toilets or other public parts of
the Building and to change the name, number or designation by
which the Building is commonly known. Landlord shall use
reasonable efforts to give Tenant at least 60 days prior
notice with respect to a change in the Building's street
address that will prohibit Tenant from receiving mail at its
current address, and if Landlord fails to provide Tenant with
such prior notice, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the
cost of replacing all business stationery and business cards
on hand (not to exceed a 2 month supply) at the effective date
of such change. Landlord shall provide to Tenant at least 30
days prior notice before any change is made to the name,
number or designation by which the Building is commonly known.
In the event that Landlord damages any portion of any wall or
wall covering, ceiling, or floor or floor covering within the
Premises, Landlord shall repair or replace the damaged portion
to match the original as nearly as commercially reasonable but
shall not be required to repair or replace more than the
portion actually damaged. Tenant hereby waives any claim for
damages for any injury or inconvenience to or interference
with Tenant's business, any loss of occupancy or quiet
enjoyment of the Premises, and any other loss occasioned by
any action of Landlord authorized by this Article 17;
provided, however, that Tenant shall not be entitled to
receive any consequential, special or indirect damages based
upon a claim that Landlord violated the terms and conditions
of this Section 17.1. Instead, any such claim of Tenant shall
be limited to the foreseeable, direct and actual damages
incurred by Tenant.
17.2 For each of the aforesaid purposes, Landlord shall at all
times have and retain a key with which to unlock all of the
doors in the Premises, excluding Tenant's vaults and safes or
special security areas (designated in advance), and Landlord
shall have the right to use any and all means which Landlord
may deem proper to open said doors in an emergency to obtain
entry to any portion of the Premises. As to any portion to
which access cannot be had by means of a key or keys in
Landlord's possession, Landlord is authorized to gain
15
access by such means as Landlord shall elect and the cost of
repairing any damage occurring in doing so shall be borne by
Tenant and paid to Landlord within five (5) days of Landlord's
written demand.
18. DEFAULT.
18.1 Except as otherwise provided in Article 20, the following
events shall be deemed to be Events of Default under this
Lease:
18.1.1 Tenant shall fail to pay when due any sum of money
becoming due to be paid to Landlord under this Lease,
whether such sum be any installment of the rent
reserved by this Lease, any other amount treated as
additional rent under this Lease, or any other
payment or reimbursement to Landlord required by this
Lease, whether or not treated as additional rent
under this Lease, and such failure shall continue for
a period of five (5) days after written notice that
such payment was not made when due, but if any such
notice shall be given, more than two (2) times in
such twelve (12) month period commencing with the
date of such notice, the failure to pay within five
(5) days after due any additional sum of money
becoming due to be paid to Landlord under this Lease
the third (3rd) time during such period shall be an
Event of Default, without notice. So long as a notice
delivered to Tenant pursuant to this Section 18.1.1
is in compliance with California Code of Civil
Procedure Section 1161 or any successor statute, such
notice shall concurrently satisfy the statutory
requirement as well as the notice requirement of this
Lease described in this Section 18.1.1.
18.1.2 Tenant shall fail to comply with any term, provision
or covenant of this Lease which is not provided for
in another Section of this Article and shall not cure
such failure within thirty (30) days (forthwith, if
the failure involves a hazardous condition) after
written notice of such failure to Tenant provided,
however, that such failure shall not be an event of
default if such failure could not reasonably be cured
during such thirty (30) day period, Tenant has
commenced the cure within such thirty (30) day period
and thereafter is diligently pursuing such cure to
completion, but the total aggregate cure period shall
not exceed ninety (90) days.
18.1.3 Tenant shall fail to vacate the Premises immediately
upon termination of this Lease, by lapse of time or
otherwise, or upon termination of Tenant's right to
possession only.
18.1.4 Tenant shall become insolvent, admit in writing its
inability to pay its debts generally as they become
due, file a petition in bankruptcy or a petition to
take advantage of any insolvency statute, make an
assignment for the benefit of creditors, make a
transfer in fraud of creditors, apply for or consent
to the appointment of a receiver of itself or of the
whole or any substantial part of its property, or
file a petition or answer seeking reorganization or
arrangement under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now
in effect or hereafter amended, or any other
applicable law or statute of the United States or any
state thereof.
18.1.5 A court of competent jurisdiction shall enter an
order, judgment or decree adjudicating Tenant
bankrupt, or appointing a receiver of Tenant, or of
the whole or any substantial part of its property,
without the consent of Tenant, or approving a
petition filed against Tenant seeking reorganization
or arrangement of Tenant under the bankruptcy laws of
the United States, as now in effect or hereafter
amended, or any state thereof, and such order,
judgment or decree shall not be vacated or set aside
or stayed within sixty (60) days from the date of
entry thereof.
16
19. REMEDIES.
19.1 Upon the occurrence of any Event or Events of Default under
this Lease, whether enumerated in Article 18 or not, Landlord
shall have the option to pursue any one or more of the
following remedies without any notice (except as expressly
prescribed herein) or demand whatsoever (and without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, Tenant hereby specifically
waives notice and demand for payment of rent (except to the
extent required herein) or other obligations and waives any
and all other notices or demand requirements imposed by
applicable law):
19.1.1 Terminate this Lease and Tenant's right to possession
of the Premises and recover from Tenant an award of
damages equal to the sum of the following:
19.1.1.1 The Worth at the Time of Award of the unpaid
rent which had been earned at the time of
termination;
19.1.1.2 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 affirmatively proves could
have been reasonably avoided;
19.1.1.3 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
affirmatively proves could be reasonably
avoided;
19.1.1.4 Any other amount necessary to compensate
Landlord for all the detriment either
proximately caused by Tenant's failure to
perform Tenant's obligations under this
Lease or which in the ordinary course of
things would be likely to result therefrom;
and
19.1.1.5 All such other amounts in addition to or in
lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted
from time to time under applicable law.
The "Worth at the Time of Award" of the amounts referred to in
parts 19.1.1.1 and 19.1.1.2 above, shall be computed by
allowing interest at the lesser of a per annum rate equal to:
(i) the greatest per annum rate of interest permitted from
time to time under applicable law, or (ii) the Prime Rate plus
5%. For purposes hereof, the "Prime Rate" shall be the per
annum interest rate publicly announced as its prime or base
rate by a federally insured bank selected by Landlord in the
State of California. The "Worth at the Time of Award" of the
amount referred to in part 19.1.1.3, above, shall be computed
by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal
Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus 1%;
19.1.2 Employ the remedy described in California Civil Code
Section 1951.4 (Landlord may continue this Lease in
effect after Tenant's breach and abandonment and
recover rent as it becomes due, if Tenant has the
right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable
limitations); or
19.1.3 Notwithstanding Landlord's exercise of the remedy
described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 in
respect of an Event or Events of Default, at such
time thereafter as Landlord may elect in writing, to
terminate this Lease and Tenant's right to possession
of the Premises and recover an award of damages as
provided above in Section 19.1.1.
19.2 The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by Landlord shall
not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant
of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than
the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rent so accepted,
regardless of Landlord's knowledge of such preceding breach at
the time of acceptance of such rent. No waiver by Landlord of
any breach hereof shall be effective unless such waiver is in
writing and signed by Landlord.
19.3 TENANT HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS CONFERRED BY SECTION
3275 OF THE CIVIL CODE OF CALIFORNIA AND BY SECTIONS 1174 (c)
AND 1179 OF THE CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE OF CALIFORNIA AND ANY
AND ALL OTHER REGULATIONS AND RULES OF LAW FROM TIME TO TIME
IN EFFECT DURING THE TERM PROVIDING THAT TENANT SHALL HAVE ANY
RIGHT TO REDEEM, REINSTATE OR RESTORE THIS LEASE FOLLOWING ITS
TERMINATION BY REASON OF TENANT'S BREACH. TENANT ALSO
17
HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS LEASE.
19.4 No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to
Landlord is intended to be exclusive of any other right or
remedy, and each and every right and remedy shall be
cumulative and in addition to any other right or remedy given
hereunder or now or hereafter existing by agreement,
applicable law or in equity. In addition to other remedies
provided in this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, to injunctive relief, or
to a decree compelling performance of any of the covenants,
agreements, conditions or provisions of this Lease, or to any
other remedy allowed to Landlord at law or in equity.
Forbearance by Landlord to enforce one or more of the remedies
herein provided upon an Event of Default shall not be deemed
or construed to constitute a waiver of such Default.
19.5 This Article 19 shall be enforceable to the maximum extent
such enforcement is not prohibited by applicable law, and the
unenforceability of any portion thereof shall not thereby
render unenforceable any other portion..
19.6 If more than one (1) Event of Default occurs during the Term
or any renewal thereof, Tenant's renewal options, expansion
options, purchase options and rights of first offer and/or
refusal, if any are provided for in this Lease, shall be null
and void.
19.7 Service of any statutory notices required in connection with
any rights of the parties hereto shall be completed in a
manner mandated by the applicable law, including California
Code of Civil Procedure Section 1162 or any similar or
successor statute.
20. TENANT'S BANKRUPTCY OR INSOLVENCY.
20.1 If at any time and for so long as Tenant shall be subjected to
the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code or other
law of the United States or any state thereof for the
protection of debtors as in effect at such time (each a
"Debtor's Law"):
20.1.1 Tenant, Tenant as debtor-in-possession, and any
trustee or receiver of Tenant's assets (each a
"Tenant's Representative") shall have no greater
right to assume or assign this Lease or any interest
in this Lease, or to sublease any of the Premises
than accorded to Tenant in Article 9, except to the
extent Landlord shall be required to permit such
assumption, assignment or sublease by the provisions
of such Debtor's Law. Without limitation of the
generality of the foregoing, any right of any
Tenant's Representative to assume or assign this
Lease or to sublease any of the Premises shall be
subject to the conditions that:
20.1.1.1 Such Debtor's Law shall provide to Tenant's
Representative a right of assumption of this
Lease which Tenant's Representative shall
have timely exercised and Tenant's
Representative shall have fully cured any
default of Tenant under this Lease.
20.1.1.2 Tenant's Representative or the proposed
assignee, as the case shall be, shall have
deposited with Landlord as security for the
timely payment of rent an amount equal to
the larger of: (a) three (3) months' rent
and other monetary charges accruing under
this Lease; and (b) any sum specified in
Article 5; and shall have provided Landlord
with adequate other assurance of the future
performance of the obligations of the Tenant
under this Lease. Without limitation, such
assurances shall include, at least, in the
case of assumption of this Lease,
demonstration to the satisfaction of the
Landlord that Tenant's Representative has
and will continue to have sufficient
unencumbered assets after the payment of all
secured obligations and administrative
expenses to assure Landlord that Tenant's
Representative will have sufficient funds to
fulfill the obligations of Tenant under this
Lease; and, in the case of assignment,
submission of current financial statements
of the proposed assignee, audited by an
independent certified public accountant
reasonably acceptable to Landlord and
showing a net worth and working capital in
amounts determined by Landlord to be
sufficient to assure the future performance
by such assignee of all of the Tenant's
obligations under this Lease.
18
20.1.1.3 The assumption or any contemplated
assignment of this Lease or subleasing any
part of the Premises, as shall be the case,
will not breach any provision in any other
lease, mortgage, financing agreement or
other agreement by which Landlord is bound.
20.1.1.4 Landlord shall have, or would have had
absent the Debtor's Law, no right under
Article 9 to refuse consent to the proposed
assignment or sublease by reason of the
identity or nature of the proposed assignee
or sublessee or the proposed use of the
Premises concerned.
21. QUIET ENJOYMENT. Landlord represents and warrants that it has full
right and authority to enter into this Lease and that Tenant, while
paying the rental and performing its other covenants and agreements
contained in this Lease within applicable notice and cure periods,
shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises for the
Term without hindrance or molestation from Landlord subject to the
terms and provisions of this Lease. Landlord shall not be liable for
any interference or disturbance by other tenants or third persons, nor
shall Tenant be released from any of the obligations of this Lease
because of such interference or disturbance.
22. CASUALTY
22.1 In the event the Premises or the Building are damaged by fire
or other cause and in Landlord's reasonable estimation such
damage can be materially restored within one hundred eighty
(180) days, Landlord shall forthwith repair the same and this
Lease shall remain in full force and effect, except that
Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate abatement in rent
from the date of such damage. Such abatement of rent shall be
made in proportion to the extent to which the damage and the
making of such repairs shall interfere with the Permitted Use
and occupancy by Tenant of the Premises from time to time.
Within forty-five (45) days from the date of such damage,
Landlord shall notify Tenant, in writing, of Landlord's
reasonable estimation of the length of time within which
material restoration can be made, and Landlord's determination
shall be binding on Tenant. For purposes of this Lease, the
Building or Premises shall be deemed "materially restored" if
they are in a substantially similar condition as of the date
of this Lease, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and provided
that Landlord shall have no obligation to restore and/or
replace the Improvements or any alterations or other
improvements made to the Premises.
22.2 If such repairs cannot, in Landlord's reasonable estimation,
be made within one hundred eighty (180) days days, Landlord
and Tenant shall each have the option of giving the other, at
any time within ninety (90) days after such damage, notice
terminating this Lease as of the date of such damage. In the
event of the giving of such notice, this Lease shall expire
and all interest of the Tenant in the Premises shall terminate
as of the date of such damage as if such date had been
originally fixed in this Lease for the expiration of the Term.
In the event that neither Landlord nor Tenant exercises its
option to terminate this Lease, then Landlord shall repair or
restore such damage, this Lease continuing in full force and
effect, and the rent hereunder shall be proportionately abated
as provided in Section 22.1. Landlord shall not in bad faith
terminate this Lease pursuant to the terms of this Section
22.2 solely for the purpose of replacing Tenant with a
successor tenant.
22.3 Landlord shall not be required to repair or replace any damage
or loss by or from fire or other cause to any panelings,
decorations, partitions, additions, railings, ceilings, floor
coverings, office fixtures or any other property or
improvements installed on the Premises by, or belonging to,
Tenant. Any insurance which may be carried by Landlord or
Tenant against loss or damage to the Building or Premises
shall be for the sole benefit of the party carrying such
insurance and under its sole control.
22.4 In the event that Landlord should fail to complete such
repairs and material restoration within ninety (90) days after
the date estimated by Landlord therefor as extended by this
Section 22.4, Tenant may at its option and as its sole remedy
terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to Landlord,
within fifteen (15) days after the expiration of said period
of time, whereupon the Lease shall end on the date of such
notice or such later date fixed in such notice as if the date
of such notice was the date originally fixed in this Lease for
the expiration of the Term; provided, however, that if
construction is delayed because of changes, deletions or
additions in construction requested by Tenant, strikes,
lockouts, casualties, Acts of God, war, material or labor
shortages, government regulation or control or other causes
beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, the period for
restoration, repair or rebuilding shall be extended for the
amount of time Landlord is so delayed.
19
22.5 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Article: (a) Landlord shall not have any obligation whatsoever
to repair, reconstruct, or restore the Premises when the
damages resulting from any casualty covered by the provisions
of this Article 22 occur during the last twelve (12) months of
the Term or any extension thereof, but if Landlord determines
not to repair such damages Landlord shall notify Tenant and if
such damages shall render any material portion of the Premises
untenantable Tenant shall have the right to terminate this
Lease by notice to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after
receipt of Landlord's notice; and (b) in the event the holder
of any indebtedness secured by a mortgage or deed of trust
covering the Premises or Building requires that any insurance
proceeds be applied to such indebtedness, then Landlord shall
have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering written
notice of termination to Tenant within fifteen (15) days after
such requirement is made by any such holder, whereupon this
Lease shall end on the date of such damage as if the date of
such damage were the date originally fixed in this Lease for
the expiration of the Term.
22.6 In the event of any damage or destruction to the Building or
Premises by any peril covered by the provisions of this
Article 22, it shall be Tenant's responsibility to properly
secure the Premises and upon notice from Landlord to remove
forthwith, at its sole cost and expense, such portion of all
of the property belonging to Tenant or its licensees from such
portion or all of the Building or Premises as Landlord shall
request.
22.7 Tenant hereby waives any and all rights under and benefits of
Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) of the California Code of Civil
Procedure, or any similar or successor Regulations or other
laws now or hereinafter in effect.
23. EMINENT DOMAIN. If all or any substantial part of the Premises shall be
taken or appropriated by any public or quasi-public authority under the
power of eminent domain, or conveyance in lieu of such appropriation,
either party to this Lease shall have the right, at its option, of
giving the other, at any time within thirty (30) days after such
taking, notice terminating this Lease, except that Tenant may only
terminate this Lease by reason of taking or appropriation, if such
taking or appropriation shall be so substantial as to materially
interfere with Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises. If neither
party to this Lease shall so elect to terminate this Lease, the rental
thereafter to be paid shall be adjusted on a fair and equitable basis
under the circumstances and based upon the proportion of the Premises
so taken. In addition to the rights of Landlord above, if any
substantial part of the Building shall be taken or appropriated by any
public or quasi-public authority under the power of eminent domain or
conveyance in lieu thereof, and regardless of whether the Premises or
any part thereof are so taken or appropriated, Landlord shall have the
right, at its sole option, to terminate this Lease. Landlord shall be
entitled to any and all income, rent, award, or any interest whatsoever
in or upon any such sum, which may be paid or made in connection with
any such public or quasi-public use or purpose, and Tenant hereby
assigns to Landlord any interest it may have in or claim to all or any
part of such sums, other than any separate award which may be made with
respect to Tenant's trade fixtures, moving expenses and the value of
leasehold improvements to the extent paid for solely by Tenant (except
for those alterations approved by Landlord and which will become the
property of Landlord upon the expiration or termination of this Lease);
Tenant shall make no claim for the value of any unexpired Term. Tenant
hereby waives any and all rights under and benefits of Section 1265.130
of the California Code of Civil Procedure, or any similar or successor
Regulations or other laws now or hereinafter in effect.
24. SALE BY LANDLORD. In event of a sale or conveyance by Landlord of the
Building, the same shall operate to release Landlord from any future
liability upon any of the covenants or conditions, expressed or
implied, contained in this Lease in favor of Tenant and in such event
Tenant agrees to look solely to the responsibility of the successor in
interest of Landlord in and to this Lease. In the event of a sale, such
successor-in-interest shall assume in writing Landlord's obligations
under this Lease. Except as set forth in this Article 24, this Lease
shall not be affected by any such sale and Tenant agrees to attorn to
the purchaser or assignee. If any security has been given by Tenant to
secure the faithful performance of any of the covenants of this Lease,
Landlord shall transfer or deliver said security, as such, to
Landlord's successor in interest and thereupon Landlord shall be
discharged from any further liability with regard to said security.
25. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Within ten (10) days following any written
request which Landlord may make from time to time, Tenant shall execute
and deliver to Landlord or mortgagee or prospective mortgagee a sworn
statement certifying: (a) the date of commencement of this Lease; (b)
the fact that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect
(or, if there have been modifications to this Lease, that this lease is
in full force and effect, as modified, and stating the date and nature
of such modifications); (c) the date to which the rent and other sums
20
payable under this Lease have been paid; (d) the fact that there are no
current defaults under this Lease by either Tenant or, to Tenant's
actual knowledge, Landlord, except as specified in Tenant's statement;
and (e) such other matters as may be reasonably requested by Landlord.
Landlord and Tenant intend that any statement delivered pursuant to
this Article 25 may be relied upon by any mortgagee, beneficiary or
purchaser, and Tenant shall be liable for all loss, cost or expense
resulting from the failure of any sale or funding of any loan caused by
any material misstatement contained in such estoppel certificate.
Tenant irrevocably agrees that if Tenant fails to execute and deliver
such certificate within such ten (10) day period, such certificate as
prepared by Landlord shall be deemed executed by Tenant and accordingly
shall be fully binding on Tenant. The parties agree that Tenant's
obligation to furnish such estoppel certificates in a timely fashion is
a material inducement for Landlord's execution of this Lease, and shall
be an Event of Default (without any cure period that might be provided
under this Lease) if Tenant fails to fully comply or makes any material
misstatement in any such certificate.
26. SURRENDER OF PREMISES.
26.1 Landlord shall arrange to meet Tenant for two (2) joint
inspections of the Premises, the first to occur at least ten
(10) days (but no more than sixty (60) days) before the last
day of the Term, and the second to occur not later than five
(5) days after Tenant has vacated the Premises. In the event
of Landlord's failure to arrange such joint inspections or
Tenant's failure to participate in either such inspection,
Landlord's inspection at or after Tenant's vacating the
Premises shall be conclusively deemed correct for purposes of
determining Tenant's responsibility for repairs and
restoration.
26.2 All alterations, additions, and improvements in, on, or to the
Premises made or installed by or for Tenant, including
carpeting (collectively, "Alterations"), shall be and remain
the property of Tenant during the Term. Upon the expiration or
sooner termination of the Term, all Alterations shall become a
part of the realty and shall belong to Landlord without
compensation, and title shall pass to Landlord under this
Lease as by a xxxx of sale. At the end of the Term or any
renewal of the Term or other sooner termination of this Lease,
Tenant will peaceably deliver up to Landlord possession of the
Premises, together with all Alterations by whomsoever made, in
the same conditions received or first installed, broom clean
and free of all debris, excepting only ordinary wear and tear
and damage by fire or other casualty. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, and subject to the terms of Article 6 of this
Lease, if Landlord elects by notice given to Tenant at least
ten (10) days prior to expiration of the Term, Tenant shall,
at Tenant's sole cost, remove any Alterations, including
carpeting, so designated by Landlord's notice, and repair any
damage caused by such removal. Further, nothing contained in
this Section 26.2 shall increase Tenant's obligation to
remediate or remove Hazardous Materials as the same is
expressly provided in this Lease. Tenant must, at Tenant's
sole cost, remove upon termination of this Lease, any and all
of Tenant's furniture, furnishings, movable partitions of less
than full height from floor to ceiling and other trade
fixtures and personal property (collectively, "Personalty").
The Personalty shall be and remain the property of Tenant
during the Term. Personalty not so removed shall be deemed
abandoned by the Tenant and title to the same shall thereupon
pass to Landlord under this Lease as by a xxxx of sale, but
Tenant shall remain responsible for the cost of removal and
disposal of such Personalty, as well as any damage caused by
such removal. If Tenant fails to remove such alterations or
Tenant's trade fixtures or furniture or the Personalty,
Landlord may keep and use them or remove any of them and cause
them to be stored or sold in accordance with applicable law,
at Tenant's sole expense.
26.3 All obligations of Tenant under this Lease not fully performed
as of the expiration or earlier termination of the Term shall
survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term To
the extent Tenant has failed to do the same, upon the
expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall
pay to Landlord the amount, as reasonably estimated by
Landlord, necessary to repair and restore the Premises as
provided in this Lease and/or to discharge Tenant's obligation
for unpaid amounts due or to become due to Landlord. All such
amounts shall be used and held by Landlord for payment of such
obligations of Tenant, with Tenant being liable for any
additional costs upon demand by Landlord, or with any excess
to be promptly returned to Tenant after all such obligations
have been determined and satisfied. Any otherwise unused
Security Deposit shall be credited against the amount payable
by Tenant under this Lease.
27. NOTICES. Any notice or document required or permitted to be delivered
under this Lease shall be addressed to the intended recipient, by fully
prepaid registered or certified United States Mail return receipt
requested, or by reputable independent contract delivery service
furnishing a written record of attempted or actual delivery, and shall
be deemed to be delivered when tendered for delivery to the addressee
at its address set forth on the Reference
21
Pages, or at such other address as it has then last specified by
written notice delivered in accordance with this Article 27, or if to
Tenant at either its aforesaid address or its last known registered
office or home of a general partner or individual owner, whether or not
actually accepted or received by the addressee. Any such notice or
document may also be personally delivered if a receipt is signed by and
received from, the individual, if any, named in Tenant's Notice
Address.
28. TAXES PAYABLE BY TENANT. In addition to rent and other charges to be
paid by Tenant under this Lease, Tenant shall reimburse to Landlord,
upon demand, any and all taxes payable by Landlord (other than net
income taxes) whether or not now customary or within the contemplation
of the parties to this Lease: (a) upon or measured by the Tenant's
gross receipts or payroll or the value of Tenant's equipment,
furniture, fixtures and other personal property of Tenant or leasehold
improvements, alterations or additions located in the Premises; or (b)
upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party
creating or transferring any interest of Tenant in this Lease or the
Premises. If due to a future change in the method of taxation, any
franchise, income or profit or other tax shall be levied in
substitution in whole or in part or in lieu of any tax which would
otherwise constitute a part of Taxes under this Lease, such franchise,
income, profit or other tax shall be deemed to be a part of Taxes for
the purposes of this Lease. In addition to the foregoing, Tenant agrees
to pay, before delinquency, any and all taxes levied or assessed
against Tenant and which become payable during the term hereof upon
Tenant's equipment, furniture, fixtures and other personal property of
Tenant located in the Premises. In addition to and wholly apart from
Tenant's obligation to pay Tenant's Proportionate Share of Expenses and
Taxes, Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay prior to
delinquency any taxes or governmental service fees, possessory interest
taxes, fees or charges in lieu of any such taxes, capital levies, or
other charges imposed upon, levied with respect to or assessed against
its fixtures or Personalty, on the value of any alterations or other
improvements within the Premises, and on Tenant's interest pursuant to
this Lease, or any increase in any of the foregoing based on such
alterations and/or improvements.
29. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
30. DEFINED TERMS AND HEADINGS. The Article headings shown in this Lease
are for convenience of reference and shall in no way define, increase,
limit or describe the scope or intent of any provision of this Lease.
Any indemnification or insurance of Landlord shall apply to and inure
to the benefit of all the following "Landlord Entities", being
Landlord, Landlord's investment advisors, and the trustees, boards of
directors, officers, general partners, beneficiaries, stockholders,
employees and agents of each of them. Any option granted to Landlord
shall also include or be exercisable by Landlord's trustee,
beneficiary, agents and employees, as the case may be. In any case
where this Lease is signed by more than one person, the obligations
under this Lease shall be joint and several. The terms "Tenant" and
"Landlord" or any pronoun used in place thereof shall indicate and
include the masculine or feminine, the singular or plural number,
individuals, firms or corporations, and their and each of their
respective successors, executors, administrators and permitted assigns,
according to the context hereof. The term "rentable area" shall mean
the rentable area of the Premises or the Building as calculated by the
Landlord on the basis of the plans and specifications of the Building
including a proportionate share of any common areas. Tenant hereby
accepts and agrees to be bound by the figures for the rentable square
footage of the Premises and Tenant's Proportionate Share shown on the
Reference Pages; however, Landlord may adjust either or both figures if
there is manifest error, addition or subtraction to the Building or any
business park or complex of which the Building is a part, remeasurement
or other circumstance reasonably justifying adjustment. The term
"Building" refers to the structure in which the Premises are located
and the common areas (parking lots, sidewalks, landscaping, etc.)
appurtenant thereto. If the Building is part of a larger complex of
structures, the term "Building" may include the entire complex, where
appropriate (such as shared Expenses or Taxes) and subject to
Landlord's reasonable discretion.
31. TENANT'S AUTHORITY. If Tenant signs as a corporation, partnership,
trust or other legal entity, Tenant represents and warrants that each
of the persons executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant has been and is
qualified to do business in the state in which the Building is located,
that the entity has full right and authority to enter into this Lease,
and that all persons signing on behalf of the entity were authorized to
do so by appropriate actions.
32. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND CREDIT REPORTS. At Landlord's request, Tenant
shall deliver to Landlord a copy, certified by an officer of Tenant as
being a true and correct copy, of Tenant's most recent audited
financial statement, or, if unaudited, certified by Tenant's chief
financial officer as being true, complete and correct in all material
respects. Tenant hereby authorizes Landlord to obtain one or more
credit reports on Tenant at any time, and shall execute such further
authorizations as Landlord may reasonably require in order to obtain a
credit
22
report. The foregoing shall not apply to the extent Tenant is a
publicly traded entity on the "over-the-counter" market or any
recognized national or international securities exchange and,
accordingly, Tenant's audited financial statements are available to the
public.
33. COMMISSIONS. Each of the parties represents and warrants to the other
that it has not dealt with any broker or finder in connection with this
Lease, except as described on the Reference Pages. Tenant shall
indemnify and hold Landlord and its employees and affiliates harmless
from all claims of any other brokers claiming to have represented
Tenant in connection with this Lease. Landlord agrees to indemnify and
hold Tenant and its employees and affiliates harmless from all claims
of any brokers claiming to have represented Landlord in connection with
this Lease.
34. TIME AND APPLICABLE LAW. Time is of the essence of this Lease and all
of its provisions. This Lease shall in all respects be governed by the
laws of the state in which the Building is located.
35. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Subject to the provisions of Article 9, the
terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors,
executors, administrators and assigns of the parties to this Lease.
36. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Lease, together with its exhibits, contains all
agreements of the parties to this Lease and supersedes any previous
negotiations. There have been no representations made by the Landlord
or any of its representatives or understandings made between the
parties other than those set forth in this Lease and its exhibits. This
Lease may not be modified except by a written instrument duly executed
by the parties to this Lease.
37. EXAMINATION NOT OPTION. Submission of this Lease shall not be deemed to
be a reservation of the Premises. Landlord shall not be bound by this
Lease until it has received a copy of this Lease duly executed by
Tenant and has delivered to Tenant a copy of this Lease duly executed
by Landlord, and until such delivery Landlord reserves the right to
exhibit and lease the Premises to other prospective tenants.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary,
Landlord may withhold delivery of possession of the Premises from
Tenant until such time as Tenant has paid to Landlord any security
deposit required by Article 5, the first month's rent as set forth in
Article 3 and any sum owed pursuant to this Lease.
38. RECORDATION. Tenant shall not record or register this Lease or a short
form memorandum hereof without the prior written consent of Landlord,
and then shall pay all charges and taxes incident such recording or
registration.
39. LIMITATION OF LANDLORD'S LIABILITY. Redress for any claim against
Landlord under this Lease shall be limited to and enforceable only
against and to the extent of Landlord's interest in the Building. The
obligations of Landlord under this Lease are not intended to be and
shall not be personally binding on, nor shall any resort be had to the
private properties of, any of its or its investment manager's trustees,
directors, officers, partners, beneficiaries, members, stockholders,
employees, or agents, and in no case shall Landlord be liable to Tenant
hereunder for any lost profits, damage to business, or any form of
special, indirect or consequential damages.
40. RENEWAL OPTION. Tenant shall, provided the Lease is in full force and
effect and Tenant is not in default under any of the other terms and
conditions of the Lease at the time of notification or commencement,
have one (1) option to renew this Lease for a term of three (3) years,
for the portion of the Premises being leased by Tenant as of the date
the renewal term is to commence, on the same terms and conditions set
forth in the Lease, except as modified by the terms, covenants and
conditions as set forth below:
40.1 If Tenant elects to exercise said option, then Tenant shall
provide Landlord with written notice no earlier than the date
which is 365 days prior to the expiration of the then current
term of the Lease but no later than the date which is 180 days
prior to the expiration of the then current term of this
Lease. If Tenant fails to provide such notice, Tenant shall
have no further or additional right to extend or renew the
term of the Lease.
40.2 The Annual Rent and Monthly Installment in effect at the
expiration of the then current term of the Lease shall be
increased to reflect the current fair market rental for
comparable space in the Building and in other similar
buildings in the same rental market as of the date the renewal
term is to commence, taking into account the specific
provisions of the Lease which will remain constant and, unless
it is not the case, taking into account that there will be no
free rent and no tenant improvement allowances or other
concessions.
23
Landlord shall advise Tenant of the new Annual Rent and
Monthly Installment for the Premises no later than thirty (30)
days after receipt of Tenant's written request therefor. Said
request shall be made no earlier than thirty (30) days prior
to the first date on which Tenant may exercise its option
under this Paragraph. Said notification of the new Annual Rent
may include a provision for its escalation to provide for a
change in fair market rental between the time of notification
and the commencement of the renewal term. If Tenant and
Landlord are unable to agree on a mutually acceptable rental
rate not later than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the
expiration of the then current term, then either (i) Tenant
may, by providing written notice to Landlord on or before the
date which is one hundred seventy (170) days prior to the
expiration of the then current term, rescind its notice of
exercise of the renewal option, or (ii) Landlord and Tenant
shall each appoint a qualified MAI appraiser doing business in
the area, in turn those two independent MAI appraisers shall
appoint a third MAI appraiser and the majority shall decide
upon the fair market rental for the Premises as of the
expiration of the then current term. Landlord and Tenant shall
equally share in the expense of this appraisal except that in
the event the Annual Rent and Monthly Installment is found to
be within fifteen percent (15%) of the original rate quoted by
Landlord, then Tenant shall bear the full cost of all the
appraisal process. In no event shall the Annual Rent and
Monthly Installment for any option period be less than the
Annual Rent and Monthly Installment in the preceding period.
40.3 Except with respect to Permitted Transfers and transfers to
Affiliated Parties and Corporate Successors which are approved
by Landlord at the time of such transfer in accordance with
Article 9 of this Lease, this option is not transferable; the
parties hereto acknowledge and agree that they intend that the
aforesaid option to renew this Lease shall be "personal" to
Tenant as set forth above and that in no event will any
assignee or sublessee have any rights to exercise the
aforesaid option to renew.
40.4 As each renewal option provided for above is exercised, the
number of renewal options remaining to be exercised is reduced
by one and upon exercise of the last remaining renewal option
Tenant shall have no further right to extend the term of the
Lease.
41. SIGNAGE. Tenant shall not place, install, affix, paint or maintain any
signs, notices, graphics or banners whatsoever or any window decor
which is visible in or from public view or corridors, the common areas
or the exterior of the Premises or the Building, in or on any exterior
window or window fronting upon any common areas or service area or upon
any truck doors or man doors without Landlord's prior written approval
which Landlord shall have the right to withhold in its absolute and
sole discretion; provided that Tenant's name shall be included in any
Building-standard door and directory signage, if any, in accordance
with Landlord's Building signage program, including without limitation,
payment by Tenant of any fee charged by Landlord for maintaining such
signage, which fee shall constitute additional rent hereunder. Any
installation of signs, notices, graphics or banners on or about the
Premises approved by Landlord shall be subject to any applicable laws,
codes, ordinances, rules, the Sign Specifications attached to this
Lease as Exhibit E and to any other reasonable requirements imposed by
Landlord. Tenant shall remove all such signs or graphics by the
expiration or any earlier termination of this Lease. Such installations
and removals shall be made in such manner as to avoid injury to or
defacement of the Premises and the Building and any other improvements
contained therein, and Tenant shall repair any injury or defacement
including without limitation discoloration caused by such installation
or removal.
42. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
43. ROOF RIGHTS FOR DEVICE.
43.1 Tenant shall have the right, in consideration for payments of
$0 per month (the "Device Payments") for the initial Term of
this Lease, to lease space on the roof of the Building for the
purpose of installing (in accordance with the alterations
provision of the Lease), operating and maintaining one 18 inch
dish/antenna or other communication device approved by the
Landlord (the "Device"). Following the initial Term of this
Lease, Landlord shall have the right to charge and Tenant
shall pay Landlord the prevailing monthly charges established
from time to time for the leasing of space on the roof on the
Building, payable in advance, with Tenant's payment of the
Monthly Installment of Rent. The Device Payments, if any,
shall constitute Additional Rent under the terms of the Lease
and Tenant shall be required to make these payments in strict
compliance with the terms of the Lease. The exact location of
the space on the roof to be leased by Tenant shall be
designated by Landlord and shall not exceed 9 square feet (the
"Roof Space"). Landlord reserves the right to relocate the
Roof Space as reasonably necessary during the Term. Landlord's
designation shall take into account Tenant's use of the
Device. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant's right to
install the Device shall be subject to the approval rights of
Landlord and Landlord's architect and/or engineer with
24
respect to the plans and specifications of the Device, the
manner in which the Device is attached to the roof of the
Building and the manner in which any cables are run to and
from the Device. The precise specifications and a general
description of the Device along with all documents Landlord
reasonably requires to review the installation of the Device
(the "Plans and Specifications") shall be submitted to
Landlord for Landlord's written approval no later than 20 days
before Tenant commences to install the Device. Tenant shall be
solely responsible for obtaining all necessary governmental
and regulatory approvals and for the cost of installing,
operating, maintaining and removing the Device. Tenant shall
notify Landlord upon completion of the installation of the
Device. If Landlord determines that the Device equipment does
not comply with the approved Plans and Specifications, that
the Building has been damaged during installation of the
Device or that the installation was defective, Landlord shall
notify Tenant of any noncompliance or detected problems and
Tenant immediately shall cure the defects. If the Tenant fails
to immediately cure the defects, Tenant shall pay to Landlord
upon demand the cost, as reasonably determined by Landlord, of
correcting any defects and repairing any damage to the
Building caused by such installation. If at any time Landlord,
in its reasonable discretion, deems it necessary, Tenant shall
provide and install, at Tenant's sole cost and expense,
appropriate aesthetic screening, reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord, for the Device (the "Screening").
43.2 Landlord agrees that Tenant, upon reasonable prior written
notice to Landlord, shall have access to the roof of the
Building and the Roof Space for the purpose of installing,
maintaining, repairing and removing the Device, the
appurtenances and the Screening, if any, all of which shall be
performed by Tenant or Tenant's authorized representatives,
engineers or contractors, and authorized FCC (as defined
below) inspectors which shall be approved by Landlord, at
Tenant's sole cost and risk. Tenant further agrees to keep to
a minimum the number of people having access to the roof of
the Building and the Roof Space and the frequency of their
visits.
43.3 It is further understood and agreed that the installation,
maintenance, operation and removal of the Device, the
appurtenances and the Screening, if any, is not permitted to
damage the Building or the roof thereof, or interfere with the
use of the Building and roof by Landlord. Tenant agrees to be
responsible for any damage caused to the roof or any other
part of the Building, which may be caused by Tenant or any of
its agents or representatives.
43.4 Tenant agrees to install only equipment of types and
frequencies which will not cause unreasonable interference to
Landlord or existing tenants of the Building. In the event
Tenant's equipment causes such interference, Tenant will
change the frequency on which it transmits and/or receives and
take any other steps necessary to eliminate the interference.
If said interference cannot be eliminated within a reasonable
period of time, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, then
Tenant agrees to remove the Device from the Roof Space.
43.5 Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, and at its sole
risk, install, operate and maintain the Device in a good and
workmanlike manner, and in compliance with all Building,
electric, communication, and safety codes, ordinances,
standards, regulations and requirements, now in effect or
hereafter promulgated, of the Federal Government, including,
without limitation, the Federal Communications Commission (the
"FCC"), the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA") or any
successor agency of either the FCC or FAA having jurisdiction
over radio or telecommunications, and of the state, city and
county in which the Building is located. Under this Lease, the
Landlord and its agents assume no responsibility for the
licensing, operation and/or maintenance of Tenant's equipment.
Tenant has the responsibility of carrying out the terms of its
FCC license in all respects. Neither Landlord nor its agents
shall be liable to Tenant for any stoppages or shortages of
electrical power furnished to the Device or the Roof Space
because of any act, omission or requirement of the public
utility serving the Building, or the act or omission of any
other tenant, invitee or licensee or their respective agents,
employees or contractors, or for any other cause beyond the
reasonable control of Landlord, and Tenant shall not be
entitled to any rental abatement for any such stoppage or
shortage of electrical power. Neither Landlord nor its agents
shall have any responsibility or liability for the conduct or
safety of any of Tenant's representatives, repair, maintenance
and engineering personnel while in or on any part of the
Building or the Roof Space.
43.6 The Device, the appurtenances and the Screening, if any, shall
remain the personal property of Tenant, and shall be removed
by Tenant at its own expense at the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease or Tenant's right to possession
hereunder. Tenant agrees that at all times during the Term, it
will keep the
25
roof of the Building and the Roof Space free of all trash or
waste materials produced by Tenant or Tenant's agents,
employees or contractors.
43.7 Tenant must provide Landlord with prior written notice of any
such installation, removal or repair and coordinate such work
with Landlord in order to avoid voiding or otherwise adversely
affecting any warranties granted to Landlord with respect to
the roof. In the event the Landlord contemplates roof repairs
that could affect Tenant's Device, or which may result in an
interruption of the Tenant's telecommunication service,
Landlord shall formally notify Tenant at least 30 days in
advance (except in cases of an emergency) prior to the
commencement of such contemplated work in order to allow
Tenant to make other arrangements for such service.
43.8 Tenant shall not use the Roof Space and/or Device to provide
communication services to an unaffiliated tenant, occupant or
licensee of another building, or to facilitate the provision
of communication services on behalf of another communication
services provider to an unaffiliated tenant, occupant or
licensee of the Building or any other building. Tenant
specifically acknowledges and agrees that the terms and
conditions of the Lease respecting Tenant's indemnity
obligation of Landlord and the waiver of subrogation shall
apply with full force and effect to the Roof Space and any
other portions of the roof accessed or utilized by Tenant, its
representatives, agents, employees or contractors.
43.9 If Tenant defaults under any of the terms and conditions of
this Section or the Lease, and Tenant fails to cure said
default within the time allowed by the terms and conditions of
the Lease, Landlord shall be permitted to exercise all
remedies provided under the terms of the Lease, including
removing at tenant's sole cost and expense the Device, the
appurtenances and the Screening, if any, and, at tenant's sole
cost and expense, restoring the Building and the Roof Space to
the condition that existed prior to the installation of the
Device, the appurtenances and the Screening, if any.

a. Landlord shall provide a leasehold improvement allowance for
improvement of the Premises in an amount not to exceed $45,000.00 (the
"Leasehold Improvement Allowance"). The Leasehold Improvement Allowance shall be
used for Tenant's costs incurred in the design and construction of the
Improvements (as hereinafter defined) in the Premises, including, without
limitation, (i) payment of the fees of any architect or engineers employed by
Tenant, (ii) the cost of construction of such Improvements, and (iii) the cost
to construct any permanent fixtures. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, Landlord shall not be obligated to disburse any portion of the
Leasehold Improvement Allowance during the continuance of an uncured default by
Tenant under the Lease, and Landlord's obligation to disburse shall only resume
when and if such default is cured.
b. Tenant shall have no right to credit or otherwise offset any unused
portion of the Leasehold Improvement Allowance against any monthly installment
of Annual Rent, Additional Rent, or any other amounts payable by Tenant to
Landlord under this Lease. In no event shall the Leasehold Improvement Allowance
be used for the purchase of equipment, furniture or other items of personal
property of Tenant. If Tenant does not submit a request for payment of the
entire Allowance to Landlord in accordance with the provisions contained in this
Improvement Agreement by June 30, 2003, any unused amount shall accrue to the
sole benefit of Landlord, it being understood that Tenant shall not be entitled
to any credit, abatement or other concession in connection therewith. Tenant
shall be responsible for all applicable state sales or use taxes, if any,
payable in connection with the Improvements and/or Allowance.
c. Tenant has inspected the Premises and, subject to the terms and
conditions of the Lease, agrees (i) to accept possession of the Premises in the
condition existing as of the Commencement Date of this Lease, "as is", (ii) that
neither Landlord nor Landlord's agents have made any representations or
warranties with respect to the Premises or the Building except as expressly set
forth herein, and (iii) except for the Leasehold Improvement Allowance, Landlord
has no obligation to perform any work, supply any materials, incur any expense
or make any alterations or improvements to the Premises for Tenant's occupancy.
This Section c. shall be subject to the provisions of Section h. below.
d. All Improvements shall be constructed by a general contractor selected
by Tenant and approved by Landlord in Landlord's reasonable discretion (the
"General Contractor"). Landlord hereby approves Qualogy Construction, Inc. as
the General Contractor. Additionally, Landlord shall approve all subcontractors
employed by Tenant and/or its general contractor, which consent (except as to
any Major Subcontractor (as hereinafter defined)), shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. Landlord's approval of any Major Subcontractor may be
withheld or conditioned in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion. "Major
Subcontractor" shall mean any subcontractor responsible for mechanical,
electrical, structural, sprinkler, fire, life and safety, or ACM, as designated
by Landlord.
e. Tenant shall perform improvements to the Premises in accordance with

"Improvements." Tenant shall not be required to remove the Improvements at the
expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. All Final Plans shall comply
with all applicable statutes, ordinances, regulations, laws, and codes and with
the requirements of Landlord's fire insurance underwriters. Neither review nor
approval by Landlord of the Final Plans shall constitute a representation or
warranty by Landlord that such plans either (i) are complete or suitable for
their intended purpose, or (ii) comply with applicable laws, ordinances, codes,
regulations, or any insurance requirements. Tenant shall not make any changes in
the Final Plans without Landlord's prior written approval, which shall be either
reasonably approved or disapproved, in writing, within five (5) business days
following submission by Tenant.
f. In the event Tenant desires to change the Final Plans, Tenant shall
deliver notice (the "Final Plans Change Notice") of the same to Landlord,
setting forth in detail the changes (the "Tenant Change") Tenant desires to make
to the Final Plans. Landlord shall, within five (5) business days of receipt of
the Final Plans Change Notice, either (i) approve the Tenant Change, or (ii)
disapprove the Tenant Change and deliver a notice to Tenant specifying in detail
the reasons for Landlord's disapproval' provided, however, that Landlord may
only disapprove of the Tenant Change if the Tenant Change contains a
Initials
Design Problem (as hereinafter defined). Any additional costs which arise in
connection with such Tenant Change in excess of the Leasehold Improvement
Allowance shall be paid by Tenant. For the purposes of this Section e., a
"Design Problem" shall mean a change in the Final Plans which has an adverse
affect on the exterior appearance of the Building, serves to create an
unreasonable burden upon one or more of the various Building systems, creates
excessive structural loads, or threatens the integrity of the roof.
g. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall file the Final Plans with

customary precautionary steps to protect its facilities and the facilities of

shall have no responsibility for any loss by theft or otherwise. Construction
equipment and materials are to be located in confined areas and delivery and
loading of equipment and materials shall be done at such reasonable locations
and at such time as Landlord shall direct so as not to burden the operation of
the Building or the Property. Landlord shall advise Tenant in advance of any
special delivery and loading dock requirements. Tenant shall at all times keep
the Premises and adjacent areas free from accumulations of waste materials or
rubbish caused by its suppliers, contractors or workmen. At the completion of
the Improvements, Tenant's contractors shall forthwith remove all rubbish and
all tools, equipment and surplus materials from and about the Premises and
Building. Any damage caused by Tenant's contractors to any portion of the
Building or to any property of Landlord or other tenants shall be repaired

damage by Tenant at Tenant's expense.

of accidents to its agents and employees and shall take all reasonable safety

broad form blanket contractual liability coverage and shall insure Tenant's
contractors against any and all claims for bodily injury, including death
resulting therefrom and damage to the property of others and arising from its

(iii) Comprehensive Automobile Liability Insurance, including the
ownership, maintenance, and operation of any automotive equipment, owned, hired,
or non-owned in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for

property of others arising from its operations under the contracts, whether such
operations are performed by Tenant's contractors, or by anyone directly or
indirectly employed by any of them.
The Improvements shall be constructed in a first-class manner using only
first-class grades of material and in compliance with the Final Plans, all
insurance requirements, applicable laws and ordinances and rules and regulations
of governmental departments or agencies and the rules and regulations adopted by
Landlord for the Building. The Improvements shall be deemed to be "Substantially

construction, mechanical adjustment or any other similar matter, the
noncompletion of which does not materially interfere with Tenant's use of the
Premises.
j. The Allowance may only be used for hard costs in connection with the
Improvements. The Allowance shall be paid to Tenant or, at Landlord's option, to
the order of the general contractor that performed the Improvements, within 30

the receipted bills meeting the requirements above. Landlord's obligation to
disburse the Leasehold Improvement Allowance shall be subject to verification
that the work described in the disbursement request has been completed in
accordance with the requirements of the Lease, as determined by Landlord's
construction manager; provided, however, that such verification shall not
constitute an acceptance of the work by Landlord or a waiver by Landlord of any
right against Tenant in the event the work has not been completed as required by
the terms of the Lease.

comply with the following: (i) Tenant shall obtain and deliver to Landlord a

sums owing to Tenant (any portion of the Leasehold Improvement Allowance in
dispute not being a sum owing to Tenant) from the next due Monthly Installment
of Rent and each subsequent installment of Monthly Installment of Rent until
Tenant is fully reimbursed. This exercise of set-off shall not constitute an
election of remedies except any amounts so recovered shall not be subsequently
recovered from Landlord.

giving of such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any default
of Landlord which cannot be cured within such thirty (30) day period, if Lender
shall within such period proceed promptly to cure the same (including such time
as may be necessary to acquire possession of the Premises if possession is
necessary to effect such cure) and thereafter shall prosecute the curing of such
default with diligence, then the time within which such default may be cured by
Lender shall be extended for such period as may be necessary to complete the
curing of the same with diligence (but in no event shall such period extend
beyond sixty (60) days following the giving of such notice). Lender's cure of
Landlord's default shall not be considered an assumption by Lender of Landlord's
other obligations under the Lease. If Lender or any successor or assign becomes
obligated to perform as Landlord under the Lease, such person or entity will be
released from those obligations when such person or entity assigns, sells or
otherwise transfers its interest in the Premises or the Property with respect to
obligations accruing after the date of such assignment, sale or other transfer.
3. In the event that Lender succeeds to the interest of Landlord
or any successor to Landlord, then subject to the provisions of this Agreement
including, without limitation, Paragraph 1 above, the Lease shall nevertheless
continue in full force and effect, Tenant's possession of the Premises shall not
be disturbed by Lender and Tenant shall and does hereby agree to attorn to and
accept Lender and to recognize Lender as its Landlord under the Lease for the
then remaining balance of the term thereof, and upon request of Lender, Tenant
shall execute and deliver to Lender an agreement of attornment reasonably
satisfactory to Lender and Tenant.
4. If Lender succeeds to the interest of Landlord or any
successor to Landlord, in no event shall Lender have any liability for any act
or omission of any prior landlord under the Lease which occurs prior to the date
Lender succeeds to the rights of Landlord under the Lease. In no event shall
Lender have any personal liability as successor to Landlord and Tenant shall
look only to the estate and property of Lender in the Land and the Improvements
for the satisfaction of Tenant's remedies for the collection of a judgment (or
other judicial process) requiring the payment of money in the event of any
default by Lender as Landlord under the Lease, and no other property or assets
of Lender shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedure for
the satisfaction of Tenant's remedies under or with respect to the Lease.
5. Tenant agrees that no prepayment of rent or additional rent
due under the Lease of more than one month in advance, and no amendment,
modification, voluntary surrender or voluntary cancellation of the Lease, and no
waiver or consent by Landlord under the terms of the Lease, shall be binding
upon or as against Lender, as holder of the Mortgage, and as Landlord under the
Lease if it succeeds to that position, unless consented to in writing by Lender
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed with respect to any
amendment or modification of the Lease). Tenant further agrees with Lender that
Tenant will not voluntarily subordinate the Lease to any lien or encumbrance
without Lender's prior written consent.
6. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall
constitute and be construed as one and the same instrument.
7. All remedies which Lender may have against Landlord provided
herein, if any, are cumulative and shall be in addition to any and all other
rights and remedies provided by law and by other agreements between Lender and
Landlord or others. If any party consists of multiple individuals or entities,
each of same shall be jointly and severally liable for the obligations of such
party hereunder.
8. All notices to be given under this Agreement shall be in
writing and shall be deemed served upon receipt by the addressee if served
personally or, if mailed, upon the first to occur of receipt or the refusal of
delivery as shown on a return receipt, after deposit in the United States Postal
Service certified mail,
Initials
postage prepaid, addressed to the address of Landlord, Tenant or Lender
appearing below, or, if sent by telegram, when delivered by or refused upon
attempted delivery by the telegraph office. Such addresses may be changed by
notice given in the same manner. If any party consists of multiple individuals
or entities, then notice to any one of the same shall be deemed notice to such
party.
