ARTICLE 4
TERM
The Term of this Lease shall consist of the Initial Term, and if
exercised by Tenant, the Extension Term, as follows:
4.1 INITIAL TERM. The Initial Term of this Lease is specified in
Article 1. The Initial Term shall commence on the date ("Lease Commencement
Date") that Landlord acquires title to the Land pursuant to that certain
Purchase and Sale Agreement ("Purchase Agreement") executed or to be executed by
Xxxxxx Corporation, as Seller ("Seller"), and Landlord, as Buyer. Within thirty
(30) days after the Lease Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall execute
the Lease Commencement Date Memorandum in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E.
In the event that the Initial Term does not commence on or before July 1, 1995,
Tenant shall have the unilateral right to terminate this Lease by written notice
to Landlord, and upon such termination Landlord shall immediately return the
Security Deposit to Tenant, plus all interest earned thereon. In the event the
Purchase Agreement is terminated as a result of any default under or breach of
the Purchase Agreement by Landlord which is not the result of Landlord's gross
negligence or willful misconduct, Landlord shall not be obligated to return any
portion of the Security Deposit retained by Seller as liquidated damages
pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement; provided that, at Tenant's
request, Landlord shall assign to Tenant any and all rights, claims and causes
of action which Landlord may have with respect to the Purchase Agreement,
excluding, however, any rights, claims and causes of action which may be
necessary for Landlord to retain in order for Landlord to avoid or seek
reimbursement for any liability, loss, cost, damage, injury or expense
(including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) which
Landlord may sustain or suffer or be entitled to recover in connection with the
Purchase Agreement.
4.2 EXTENSION TERM. Upon at least ninety (90) days' prior written
Notice to Landlord, and provided that a New Loan or Replacement Loan has been
obtained as of the commencement of the Extension Term (subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in Sections 13.1(b) and 13.1(c)), Tenant may extend the
Term for the Extension Term specified in Article 1. All provisions of this Lease
shall remain in full force and effect for the Extension Term, including, without
limitation, the Base Rent payable hereunder, except that Tenant shall have no
further right to extend the Term of this Lease, and except that the Lease Rate
may be adjusted only to reflect any actual change in the rate of interest (that
is, the spread over LIBOR) charged pursuant to the Authorized Loan.
4.3 HOLDING OVER. If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises
after the expiration of the Term without executing a new lease, such holding
over shall be construed as a tenancy from month-to-month, subject to all terms,
covenants and conditions herein contained (except that Tenant shall have no
right to extend the Term of this Lease), and at the Base Rent required to be
paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms hereof during the last month of the Term.
8.

ARTICLE 5
RENT
5.1 BASE RENT.
(a) Tenant shall pay Base Rent in the manner set
forth below. Base Rent shall be payable monthly, in arrears, without notice on
the Rent Commencement Date, and continuing thereafter on the first LIBOR
Business Day of each successive month, except that the last installment of Base
Rent shall be payable on the last day of the Term (each such date shall be a
"Rent Payment Date") and shall be an amount sufficient to pay all Base Rent
accrued through the end of the Term.
Tenant shall pay Base Rent as follows: The Senior Rent
Component shall be paid to UBS, and the Equity Rent Component shall be paid to
Landlord, at the Address for Rent set forth in the Basic Lease Provisions (or,
if the UBS Loan has been replaced by a New Loan or Replacement Loan, then the
Senior Rent Component shall be paid directly to the holder of such New Loan or
Replacement Loan) or at such other place as Landlord and Tenant may from time to
time mutually agree upon, in their respective sole and absolute discretion.
Tenant shall pay Base Rent by wire transfer or by check. Landlord or UBS or such
other holder of a New Loan, as the case may be, shall supply Tenant with such
bank account information as Tenant shall require to enable payment by wire
transfer. The parties agree that Tenant is paying the Senior Rent Component of
Base Rent directly to UBS for the convenience of the parties in order to satisfy
Landlord's obligations to pay interest under the UBS Loan for the period of time
corresponding to the Term of this Lease; all Base Rent payments shall be deemed
payments to Landlord to the extent of the Equity Rent Component and payments of
the interest due to UBS under the UBS Loan to the extent of the Senior Rent
Component.
(b) INTEREST RATE SELECTION. The parties
acknowledge that the interest rate applicable under the UBS Loan (or other
Authorized Loan) shall affect the amount of Base Rent payable by Tenant
hereunder. Therefore, Tenant shall have the right, by written notice to UBS (or
the holder of any Authorized Loan), SGA and Landlord, to designate the interest
period to be selected from time to time by SGA pursuant to the terms of the UBS
Note (or other Authorized Loan). Tenant acknowledges that the rates available to
be selected under the UBS Loan after the first partial calendar month of the
Term are 1, 3, 6, 9 or 12-month LIBOR rates. In the event that Tenant fails to
give such written notice to UBS (or other holder of an Authorized Loan), SGA and
Landlord prior to the applicable deadline for selection of such interest period
pursuant to the terms of the UBS Note (or other Authorized Loan), the same
interest period then in effect for the UBS Loan (or other Authorized Loan) shall
be selected.
5.2 PRORATION. If the Term expires or is otherwise
terminated on a day other than the day before the first LIBOR
9.
15
Business Day of a calendar month, Base Rent for such calendar month shall be
prorated on the basis of actual days elapsed on the basis of a thirty (30) day
month.
5.3 NO ABATEMENT OF RENT. Except as a consequence of a
reduction in the Funded Amount or the terms of Section 15 (Taking), Tenant shall
not be entitled to any abatement, diminution, reduction, setoff or postponement
of Base Rent as a consequence of any inconvenience to, interruption of,
cessation of or loss of Tenant's use or enjoyment of the Premises or as a result
of any reason whatsoever.
5.4 DELINQUENT RENT. Any Base Rent not paid on the due
date shall accrue interest at the Default Rate from the date such Base Rent was
originally due until the date such Base Rent is paid. All interest accrued on
past due Base Rent shall be due and payable to Landlord at the time the Base
Rent is paid, or upon demand by Landlord, if earlier.
5.5 SECURITY DEPOSIT. On the Date of Lease, Tenant shall
deliver to Landlord a security deposit ("Security Deposit") in an amount equal
to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), to be held in an interest bearing account
requiring authorization by both Landlord and Tenant for withdrawal. On the Lease
Commencement Date, the Security Deposit plus all interest earned thereon shall
be released to Landlord, and Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an amount
sufficient to increase the Security Deposit to an amount equal to the Equity
Funded Amount as of such date; provided that Tenant shall receive a credit for
any interest earned on the Security Deposit prior to the Lease Commencement
Date. The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security solely for the
payment of Base Rent and Additional Rent by Tenant pursuant to this Lease.
One-fifth of the Security Deposit shall bear interest from the Lease
Commencement Date at the rate of 6.75% per annum, simple interest, paid by
Landlord to Tenant in cash on an annual basis on each anniversary of the Lease
Commencement Date; and the remainder of the Security Deposit shall not bear
interest. If at any time during the Term any Base Rent shall be overdue, then
Landlord may at its election (but shall not be required to) appropriate and
apply any portion of the Security Deposit to the payment of any such overdue
Base Rent; provided, however, that Landlord shall use the non-interest bearing
portion of the Security Deposit first, before appropriating any portion of the
Security Deposit that shall bear interest pursuant hereto. Should the entire
Security Deposit, or any portion thereof, be appropriated and applied by
Landlord as provided herein, then Tenant shall immediately, after receipt of
written demand by Landlord, pay to Landlord a sufficient sum in cash to restore
the Security Deposit to the original sum of the Security Deposit. Landlord shall
have no obligation to segregate the Security Deposit from other funds. In the
event that the Equity Funded Amount is reduced for any reason, including without
limitation by reason of a sale of any portion of the Premises or the application
of the proceeds of a condemnation award to reduce the Equity Funded Amount (it
being
10.
16
understood that the Equity Funded Amount will only be reduced in the event and
to the extent that the net proceeds of such condemnation award exceeds the
Senior Funded Amount, with such award proceeds to be applied first to the Senior
Funded Amount pursuant to Section 15.4 hereof), the amount of the Security
Deposit required hereunder shall be reduced (pro rata between the interest
bearing and non-interest bearing portions of the Security Deposit) by a like
amount, and any such excess funds held by Landlord shall immediately be returned
to Tenant. The entire Security Deposit (other than amounts withheld against Base
Rent due hereunder), plus any accrued and unpaid interest required to be paid
thereon pursuant to this Lease, shall be returned to Tenant at the end of the
Term.
ARTICLE 6
TAXES
6.1 REAL ESTATE TAXES.
(a) From and after the Lease Commencement Date,
Tenant shall pay directly to the appropriate taxing authority all Real Estate
Taxes. If the Lease Commencement Date occurs or the Term expires or otherwise
terminates at any time other than the beginning or end of a taxable year,
Tenant's obligation to pay Real Estate Taxes shall be prorated on the basis of a
365-day year, so as to include only that portion of the taxable year which is a
part of the Term. Unless a termination of the Lease results from a purchase of
the Land pursuant to Article 19, any Real Estate Taxes levied against the Land
which accrue during the Term of this Lease but which would not be due and
payable to the appropriate taxing authority until after the expiration of the
Term of this Lease (as the same may be extended) shall be paid by Tenant to
Landlord upon such termination. Landlord shall pay such amounts to the
appropriate taxing authority on a timely basis.
(b) Except to the extent that Real Estate Tax
bills and statements are sent directly to Tenant by the taxing authority, upon
receipt by Landlord of the tax bills or statements, Landlord will use reasonable
efforts to promptly advise Tenant in writing of all Real Estate Taxes and shall
deliver copies of all applicable tax bills or statements to Tenant. Tenant shall
pay directly to the taxing authority all Real Estate Taxes prior to the later of
(i) thirty (30) days after receipt by Tenant of a copy of such bills and
statements referred to above, or (ii) five (5) days prior to delinquency. As
used herein, the term "Real Estate Taxes" shall mean any and all taxes,
governmental fees and similar charges or assessments levied or assessed against
the Improvements and/or the Land including, without limitation, ad valorem taxes
and special assessments applicable to real property; provided, however, that
Real Estate Taxes shall not include any Landlord Income Taxes. Real Estate Taxes
shall also include any and all documentary, transfer, sales, mortgage, recording
or similar taxes imposed on Landlord or Tenant in connection with (i) the
original acquisition
11.
17
of the Premises by Landlord, (ii) any transfer of the Premises to Tenant
pursuant to the terms of this Lease, or (iii) any sale of the Premises to a
third party pursuant to the terms of this Lease. As used herein, the term
"Landlord Income Taxes" shall mean any and all income, franchise, gains, gift,
succession, excess profits, gross receipts, revenue, estate, rental, or similar
taxes or taxes in lieu thereof imposed upon Landlord or any party other than
Tenant (or an affiliate thereof) and any withholding tax imposed as a collection
device for, in lieu of, or otherwise related to any of the foregoing without
regard to whether such tax is required to be collected by Tenant and without
regard to whether Tenant would be liable for such withholding tax in the event
it failed to so withhold. For purposes of the foregoing, an income tax shall
include, without limitation, any tax imposed under the United States Internal
Revenue Code or the California Bank and Corporation Tax Law as well as any tax
which could qualify as an "income tax" under United States Treasury Regulation
Section 1.901-2 (except to the extent any such statute or regulation is
subsequently modified to include a tax or other governmental charge of a
materially different type and nature from the taxes currently described therein)
and any income tax which may be payable under the laws of any jurisdiction
either now or in the future. Real Estate Taxes for any given tax year shall
exclude assessment installments that are not due and payable during such tax
year.
6.2 PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES. Tenant shall pay directly to
the appropriate taxing authorities prior to delinquency any and all taxes and
assessments levied or assessed during the Term upon or against Tenant's
furniture, equipment, trade fixtures and any other personal property in the
Premises.
6.3 RIGHT TO CONTEST. Tenant shall not be required to pay
any Real Estate Taxes or any other taxes for which Tenant is liable hereunder
(including, without limitation, any taxes for which Tenant is required to
indemnify Landlord under Section 6.5) (including penalties and interest), so
long as (i) Tenant shall contest the same or the validity thereof by appropriate
legal proceedings in such a manner to prevent the tax sale of any portion of the
Premises and (ii) the position to be taken by Tenant pursuant to such contest
would have a realistic possibility of success if litigated. For purposes of this
Lease, Tenant may conclusively establish that a position to be taken in a
contest would have a realistic possibility of success if litigated by providing
to Landlord a letter from counsel stating an opinion to such effect. In the
event of any such contest, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after the final
determination thereof, pay and discharge the amounts determined to be due in
accordance therewith and with the provisions of this Lease, together with any
penalties, fines, interest, costs and expenses that may have accrued thereon or
that may have resulted from Tenant's contest. Tenant also shall have a right to
contest any taxes for which it is liable hereunder, but with regard to which the
position to be taken pursuant to such contest would not have a realistic
possibility of success if litigated, provided that Tenant pays such taxes on or
12.
18
prior to the date upon which such taxes are asserted to be due by the relevant
governmental authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
6.3, Tenant shall have an unconditional right to contest (without prior payment)
any taxes imposed by law upon Tenant rather than upon Landlord. Tenant's
decision to pay any taxes prior to contesting its or another party's underlying
liability therefore shall not be deemed to imply or suggest that the position to
be taken in such contest would not have a realistic possibility of success if
litigated. Landlord shall cooperate fully with Tenant in connection with the
exercise of Tenant's right of contest contained herein, and in the event that
applicable law shall require that Landlord, rather than Tenant, pursue legal
proceedings for such contest, Landlord will initiate and pursue such contest
upon Tenant's request and in accordance with Tenant's instructions (including,
without limitation, Tenant's instructions as to the selection of legal counsel
and matters of strategy or settlement); provided, however, that Landlord shall
not be subject to any liability for the payment of any costs or expenses in
connection with any such contest or proceedings, and Tenant will indemnify,
defend and save harmless Landlord from and against any such costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, costs of court and
appraisal costs), reimbursing Landlord therefor upon demand (or paying such
costs and expenses directly when due, all as directed by Landlord). Tenant shall
be entitled to any refund of any taxes and penalties or interest from any
governmental authority to the extent the refund represents monies paid to the
governmental authority by Tenant or paid by Landlord and reimbursed by Tenant.
6.4 WITHHOLDING TAXES. Subject to Section 6.5, but
notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the contrary, Tenant may
withhold from any payments under this Lease any Landlord Income Taxes, without
obligation to gross-up, indemnify or otherwise increase payments in consequence
thereof, to the extent required by applicable law (as determined by Tenant in
its reasonable discretion). Upon the date hereof or upon the date a party
becomes a Landlord or a transferee of any portion of the Landlord's interest in
the Premises or this Lease, and within thirty (30) days following the first day
of each calendar year or if otherwise requested from time to time by Tenant,
Landlord and each transferee, if organized under the laws of a jurisdiction
outside the United States, shall provide Tenant with three counterparts of each
of the forms prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service of the United States
(Form 1001 or 4224, or successor form(s), as the case may be) certifying as to
Landlord's or such transferee's status for purposes of determining exemption
from United States withholding taxes with respect to all payments to be made to
such person. Without limitation upon the foregoing, unless Tenant has received
such forms or other documents reasonably satisfactory to it indicating that
payments under this Lease are not subject to United States withholding tax,
Tenant is authorized to and shall withhold taxes from such payments at the
applicable statutory rate. Landlord and each transferee, if organized under the
laws of the United States or any State thereof, shall timely
13.
19
provide Tenant with duplicate documents conforming to the requirements of
Treasury Regulation 1.1441-5(b) or any successor thereto (which statement may be
made on a Form W-9).
6.5 ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO TAXES.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6 to the contrary,
Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against:
(a) Any and all Landlord Income Taxes imposed upon
Landlord in consequence of Landlord being treated as the owner or lessor of the
Premises (or any part thereof) for such tax purposes (provided that Landlord has
fully complied with its obligations under Section 21.2(b));
(b) Any and all minimum franchise taxes imposed in
respect of doing business within the State of California, business qualification
taxes, and similar governmental charges for which Landlord would not be liable
but for its participation in the transactions described in this Lease, including
obtaining the UBS Loan or any other Authorized Loan pursuant to this Lease;
(c) Any and all taxes imposed upon Tenant (except
to the extent that such taxes are imposed upon Tenant as a result of Landlord's
failure to comply with its obligations under this Lease);
(d) Any and all taxes required to be withheld from
payments made by Tenant to a third party not related to or affiliated with
Landlord or The Staubach Company;
(e) Any and all taxes imposed upon Landlord on
cancellation or discharge of indebtedness income arising in connection with a
write-down, payoff modification or cancellation of the UBS Loan or other
Authorized Loan (other than in connection with Landlord's or SGA's bankruptcy or
insolvency or any write-down, payoff, modification or cancellation of the SGA
Loan (as defined in Section 12.1(b)) not authorized in advance by Tenant) and
provided that Landlord has fully complied with its obligations under Section
21.2(b);
(f) Any and all Real Estate Taxes; and
(g) Any and all taxes owed by Landlord as a result
of payment made by Tenant to or for the benefit of Landlord pursuant to Tenant's
indemnity obligations under this Section 6.5.
Tenant's obligation to reimburse or indemnify Landlord for any
taxes, governmental fees, penalties, interest or other supplemental tax charges
under this Lease shall be reduced by the value of any related or offsetting tax
benefits derived or realized by Landlord. For purposes of calculation of tax
benefits derived or realized by Landlord, any net operating loss attributable to
the
14.
20
Premises for any year shall be deemed to be available to offset against income
from the Premises in subsequent years regardless of whether it is in fact
available. Tenant's duty to indemnify Landlord under this Section 6.5 shall
apply only to taxes arising during the Term (whether or not due and payable at
the conclusion of the Term), but shall otherwise survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease.
ARTICLE 7
INSURANCE
7.1 LIABILITY INSURANCE. At all times during the Term,
Tenant shall obtain at Tenant's sole cost and expense a policy or policies of
comprehensive general liability insurance on an "occurrence" basis against
claims for "personal injury" liability, including, without limitation, bodily
injury, death or property damage liability. The liability insurance policy shall
contain coverage limits no less than a combined single limit of $5,000,000 per
occurrence. The insurance may be furnished under a "primary" policy and an
"umbrella" policy or policies. Landlord shall be named as an additional insured
under Tenant's policy and Tenant's policy shall contain an endorsement for
cross-liability coverage. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with certificates from
Tenant's insurers with respect to the insurance required to be carried hereunder
on or before the date of execution of this Lease. The certificates shall state
that such insurance is in full force and effect and that coverage will not be
cancelled without twenty (20) days' prior written notice to Landlord. Renewal
certificates shall be furnished to Landlord not less than thirty (30) days prior
to the expiration of each such policy. Any blanket insurance policy or policies
that insure Tenant against the risks and for the amounts herein specified shall
be deemed to satisfy the obligation of Tenant hereunder, provided that any such
policy of blanket insurance shall specify the amount of the total insurance
allocated to the risks required to be insured hereunder and such allocated
amount meets the requirements of this Article 7. All insurance required by this
Article 7 shall be with an insurance company licensed to do business in the
State of California with a general policyholder's rating, as rated by the most
current available "Bests" Insurance Reports, no less than A-III, and shall be
primary and non-contributing.
7.2 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, to the extent permitted by law and so long as any
insurance coverage maintained by Tenant is not diminished by reason thereof,
Tenant hereby (a) releases and waives any rights it may have against Landlord
and its officers, agents and employees on account of any loss or damages
occasioned to Tenant, its property or the Premises, and arising from any risk
covered by any fire and extended coverage insurance maintained by Tenant,
whether or not due to the negligence of Landlord, its agents, employees,
contractors, licensees, invitees or other persons, and (b) waives on behalf of
any insurer providing such
15.
21
insurance to Tenant any right of subrogation that any such insurer may have or
acquire against Landlord or such persons by virtue of payment of any loss under
such insurance. Tenant shall use its best efforts to cause its insurance
policies to contain a waiver of subrogation clauses in accordance with the
foregoing.
7.3 INDEMNITY. Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify,
hold and save Landlord harmless from and against any and all losses, costs,
liabilities or damages (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements
and court costs) arising by reason of: (i) any and all injury or death of
persons or damage to property against which Tenant is obligated to maintain
insurance for the benefit of Landlord pursuant to this Article 7; (ii) the
failure to obtain the waiver of subrogation clause required by Section 7.2
hereof where such clause could have been obtained through the exercise of
Tenant's best efforts; or (iii) the invalidation of such insurance policy
required to be obtained by Tenant hereunder by Tenant's insurer. Tenant's duty
to indemnify Landlord under this Section 7.3 shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease with respect to events occurring during the
Term.
ARTICLE 8
USE
8.1 USE.
(a) PERMITTED USES. Tenant may use the Premises
for any lawful purpose.
(b) ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE.
(i) DEFINED TERMS. The term
"Applicable Environmental Laws" shall mean any applicable laws, regulations or
ordinances pertaining to health or the environment, including, without
limitation, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
Liability Act of 1980, as amended by the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act of 1986 or otherwise (as amended, hereinafter called
"CERCLA"), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended by the
Used Oil Recycling Act of 1980, the Solid Waste Disposal Act Amendments of 1980,
the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 or otherwise (as amended,
hereinafter called "RCRA"), and California Health & Safety Code Section
25501(j). The terms "hazardous substance" and "release" as used in this Lease
shall have the meanings specified in CERCLA, and the terms "solid waste" and
"disposal" (or "disposed") shall have the meanings specified in RCRA; provided,
in the event either CERCLA or RCRA is amended or superseded by other laws so as
to broaden the meaning of any term defined thereby, such broader meaning shall
apply subsequent to the effective date of such amendment or other laws; and,
provided further, to the extent that the laws of the State of California
establish a meaning for "hazardous substance", "release", "solid waste", or
"disposal"
16.
22
which is broader than that specified in either CERCLA or RCRA, such broader
meaning shall apply. The term "Pre-existing Contamination" means concentrations
of arsenic and lead existing in soil and groundwater at the Premises as of the
Lease Commencement Date.
(ii) TENANT'S COVENANTS. Tenant
will not cause or permit the Premises or the Improvements to be in violation of,
or do anything or permit anything to be done which subjects Landlord, Tenant or
the Premises to any remedial obligations under or which creates a claim or cause
of action under, any Applicable Environmental Laws, including, without
limitation, CERCLA, RCRA, and the California Health and Safety Code Section
25501(j), assuming disclosure to the applicable governmental authorities of all
relevant facts, conditions and circumstances, if any, pertaining to the Premises
and the Improvements, and Tenant will promptly notify Landlord in writing of any
existing, pending or threatened investigation, claim or inquiry of which Tenant
has knowledge by any governmental authority in connection with any Applicable
Environmental Laws. Tenant shall obtain any permits, licenses or similar
authorizations to construct, occupy, operate or use any Improvements, fixtures
and equipment at any time located on the Premises by reason of any Applicable
Environmental Laws. Tenant will not use the Premises or the Improvements in a
manner which will result in the unlawful disposal or other unlawful release of
any hazardous substance or solid waste on or to the Premises or the Improvements
and covenants and agrees to keep or cause the Premises and the Improvements to
be kept free of any unlawful hazardous substance, unlawful solid waste or
unlawful environmental contaminants (including, without limitation, friable
asbestos and any substance containing asbestos deemed hazardous and unlawful by
any Applicable Environmental Law) and to remove the unlawful amounts of the same
(or if removal is prohibited by law, to take whatever action is required by law)
promptly upon discovery at Tenant's sole expense. Tenant shall promptly notify
Landlord in writing of any unlawful disposal or other unlawful release of any
hazardous substance, environmental contaminants or solid wastes on or to the
Premises or the Improvements. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Pre-existing
Contamination exists at the Premises due to operations of prior owners and that
Tenant has no further obligation to notify Landlord regarding such Pre-existing
Contamination. Landlord acknowledges receipt of that certain Phase I
Environmental Assessment and Phase II Soil and Groundwater Evaluation dated
March 31, 1995 prepared by Xxxxxx Associates ("Report"); provided that delivery
of such Report shall in no way limit or modify Tenant's indemnity obligations
pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(iii) hereof. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord will
not acquire the Premises if any environmental contamination of the Premises in
violation of applicable law, which contamination is not disclosed in the Report,
occurs or is discovered before the Lease Commencement Date. In the event Tenant
fails to comply with or perform any of the foregoing covenants and obligations,
after thirty (30) days' prior written Notice to Tenant, Landlord may, but shall
be under no obligation to, cause the Premises and the Improvements to be freed
from the unlawful hazardous substance,
17.
23
unlawful solid waste or unlawful environmental contaminants (or if removal is
prohibited by law, to take whatever action is required by law) and the
reasonable cost of the removal or such other action shall be a demand obligation
owing by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Lease; provided, however that this
sentence shall not apply to Pre-existing Contamination. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Landlord shall have no right to cause the removal of such materials
so long as Tenant both: (1) is diligently and in good faith proceeding to comply
with Tenant's obligation to remove the unlawful amounts of such materials; and
(2) has the financial ability to so comply. Subject to the foregoing, Tenant
grants to Landlord and Landlord's agents and employees access to the Premises
and the Improvements, and the license to remove the unlawful hazardous
substance, unlawful solid waste or unlawful environmental contaminants (or if
removal is prohibited by law, to take whatever action is required by law) and
agrees to indemnify, defend and save Landlord harmless from and against all
reasonable costs and expenses involved and from all claims (including
consequential damages) asserted or proven against Landlord by any party in
connection therewith. Upon Landlord's reasonable request for "good cause"
(defined below), at any time and from time to time during the Term, Tenant will
provide at Tenant's sole expense an inspection or audit of the Premises and the
Improvements from an engineering or consulting firm approved by Landlord,
indicating the presence or absence of any hazardous substance, solid waste or
environmental contaminants located on the Premises; provided, however that this
provision shall not apply to Pre-existing Contamination. If Tenant fails to
provide same after sixty (60) days' notice, Landlord may order same, and Tenant
grants to Landlord and Landlord's employees and agents access to the Premises
and the Improvements and a license to undertake any testing reasonably required
to obtain such inspection or audit. The reasonable cost of obtaining such
inspection or audit and any expenses incurred by Landlord in connection
therewith, shall be a demand obligation owing by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to
this Lease. For purposes of this Section 8.1(b)(ii), "good cause" shall mean
that Landlord shall have reasonable grounds to believe that an unlawful release
or unlawful disposal of hazardous substances or solid wastes has occurred on the
Premises or the Improvements, but shall not include Pre-existing Contamination.
(iii) TENANT'S INDEMNITY. Tenant
agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against, and to
reimburse Landlord with respect to, any and all claims, demands, causes of
action, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including without
limitation attorneys' fees and court costs), fines and/or penalties of any and
every kind or character, known or unknown, fixed or contingent, asserted or
potentially asserted against or incurred by Landlord at any time and from time
to time by reason of, in connection with or arising out of (A) the failure of
Tenant to perform any obligation herein required to be performed by Tenant
regarding Applicable Environmental Laws, (B) any violation of any Applicable
Environmental Law by Tenant or with respect to the Premises or the Improvements,
or any disposal or
18.
24
other release by Tenant or with respect to the Premises or the Improvements of
any hazardous substance, environmental contaminants or solid waste on or to the
Premises or the Improvements, whether or not resulting in a violation of any
Applicable Environmental Law, (C) any act, omission, event or circumstance by
Tenant or with respect to the Premises or the Improvements which constitutes or
has constituted a violation of any Applicable Environmental Law with respect to
the Premises or the Improvements, regardless of whether the act, omission, event
or circumstance constituted a violation of any Applicable Environmental Law at
the time of its existence or occurrence, and (D) any and all claims or
proceedings (whether brought by private party or governmental agencies) for
bodily injury, property damage, abatement or remediation, environmental damage
or impairment or any other injury or damage resulting from or relating to any
hazardous or toxic substance or contaminated material located upon or migrating
into, from or through the Premises or the Improvements (whether or not the
release of such materials was caused by Tenant, a subtenant, a prior owner of
the Premises or any other Entity) which Landlord may incur. Tenant's duty to
indemnify Landlord under this Section 8.1 shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of the Lease with respect to events occurring during or
prior to the Term or after the Term while Landlord has record title to and
Tenant is occupying the Premises.
8.2 CONTEST OF LEGAL REQUIREMENTS. Tenant shall have the
right at its sole cost and expense to contest the validity of any Legal
Requirements applicable to the Premises by appropriate proceedings diligently
conducted in good faith; and upon the request of Tenant and at Tenant's sole
cost and expense, Landlord will join and cooperate with Tenant in such
proceedings. Any other provision of this Lease (other than Section 6.3) to the
contrary notwithstanding, Tenant's right to contest Legal Requirements must be
exercised in such a manner as to avoid any exposure of the Premises or any part
thereof to foreclosure or execution sale or exposure of Landlord to civil or
criminal penalties arising from Tenant's non-compliance with such Legal
Requirements. Tenant shall defend and indemnify Landlord against, and hold
Landlord harmless from, any and all liability, loss, cost, damage, injury or
expense (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and costs) which
Landlord may sustain or suffer by reason of Tenant's failure or delay in
complying with, or Tenant's contest of, any such Legal Requirements (or
Landlord's contest, if requested in writing by Tenant), and Tenant's duty to
indemnify Landlord under this Section 8.2 shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease.
8.3 INDEMNIFICATION. Tenant will defend, protect,
indemnify and save harmless Landlord from and against all liabilities,
obligations, claims, damages, causes of action, costs and expenses, imposed upon
or incurred by Landlord by reason of the occurrence or existence of any of the
following during the Term, except to the extent caused by the willful
misconduct, gross negligence, or willful breach of contract of Landlord or its
agents
19.
25
or contractors: (1) any claims of Seller arising from the Purchase Agreement
described in Section 4.1 (provided, that, without limitation of Tenant's
indemnity obligations hereunder, Tenant's indemnity obligation under this Clause
1 shall apply notwithstanding a willful breach of the Purchase Agreement by
Landlord if such breach is caused, directly or indirectly, by Tenant or any
actions or failure to act by Tenant or as a result of Landlord's following
Tenant's instructions with respect to the Purchase Agreement or in the event
that Landlord is unable to obtain the UBS Loan); (2) any accident, injury to or
death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring on or about the
Premises or Improvements; (3) performance of any labor or services or the
furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Premises or the
Improvements; (4) the negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Tenant or
any of its agents, invitees, employees or contractors or any other persons
entering onto the Premises or the Improvements at the request, behest or with
the permission of Tenant; (5) the construction, use or occupancy of the
Improvements which Tenant may elect to construct; (6) the existence or
application of any Legal Requirements with respect to the Premises or
Improvements; or (7) the use of the Premises or Improvements. Tenant's duty to
indemnify Landlord under this Section 8.3 shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease with respect to events occurring prior to the
commencement of the Term, during the Term or after the Term while Landlord has
record title to and Tenant is occupying the Premises. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, Tenant's duty to indemnify Landlord pursuant to Clause 1
above shall apply only with respect to events or occurrences occurring prior to
commencement of the Term.
ARTICLE 9
UTILITIES AND SERVICES
9.1 SERVICES TO THE PREMISES. At Tenant's sole cost and
expense, Tenant shall make its own arrangements for the provision of all
utilities and services to be provided to or consumed on the Premises, including,
without limitation, air conditioning, ventilation, heating, electric power,
telephone, water (both domestic and fire protection), sanitary sewer, storm
drain, natural gas and janitorial services, including for the installation,
maintenance and repair of service lines and meters to measure Tenant's
consumption of such utilities.
ARTICLE 10
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS; SURRENDER OF THE PREMISES
10.1 TENANT OBLIGATIONS. Except as otherwise provided in
this Lease, Tenant shall maintain the Premises in good repair, normal wear and
tear, casualty and Takings (as defined in Section 15.1) excepted. All
maintenance that Tenant is obligated to perform under this Section 10.1 shall be
at the sole expense of Tenant, except to the extent that repairs are made
necessary
20.
26
because of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents,
employees or contractors.
10.2 SURRENDER OF THE PREMISES. Except as provided in
Section 19, upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant
shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in its then "AS-IS" condition,
including, without limitation, any condition resulting from: (i) wear and tear;
(ii) obsolescence and damage by fire or other casualty, act of God or the
elements; (iii) damage that is beyond Tenant's reasonable control or is caused
by Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors; (iv) any Improvements which
Tenant may elect to construct (in compliance with the terms of this Lease) and
leave on the Premises (subject to the rights of any other Entity in such
Improvements); (v) Takings; and (vi) Tenant's alterations, additions, removals,
repairs, replacements, or decorations in, to or of the Premises. Title to all
Improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures, trade fixtures and personal
property of Tenant located in or upon the Premises, whether or not affixed to
the realty, shall be and remain in Tenant, and upon the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease, or within thirty (30) days thereafter (or as soon
thereafter as reasonably practical), the same may be removed by Tenant, or, at
Tenant's election, surrendered with the Premises, in which event title to such
surrendered property shall, if Landlord so elects in Landlord's sole
discretion, be deemed transferred to Landlord (subject to the rights of any
other Entity in such Improvements).
ARTICLE 11
CONSTRUCTION OF IMPROVEMENTS AND COMMON AREA
11.1 TENANT'S RIGHTS TO CONSTRUCT IMPROVEMENTS. Tenant
shall be under no obligation whatsoever to construct any Improvements. Tenant
shall have the right, in Tenant's sole discretion, to construct Improvements
which Tenant desires, subject only to the specific approvals required from
Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Section 11.1. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary, without obtaining Landlord's approval, Tenant may perform work
on the Premises which does not consist of the actual construction of
above-ground buildings (for example, Tenant may perform grading, trenching and
similar work, and may install and construct utilities, parking lots, driveways,
roadways, foundations, and the like).
(a) APPROVAL PLANS. Prior to commencing any
actual construction of Improvements (except as otherwise permitted or already
approved pursuant to this Section 11.1), Tenant's proposed site plans (showing
the locations and orientations of any proposed buildings) and exterior shell
plans (showing exterior building sections) (collectively, "Approval Plans") of
any Improvements which Tenant may elect to construct shall be submitted to and
approved by Landlord in accordance with the following (in each case to the
extent applicable). Tenant shall deliver a letter to Landlord along with any
submitted Approval Plans in which Tenant
21.
27
states that the submitted Approval Plans do not violate any Legal Requirements.
Landlord may only withhold Landlord's approval to any such Approval Plans to the
extent that the Approval Plans violate any material Legal Requirements, and
Landlord may not withhold its consent on any other ground. At the option of
Tenant, the foregoing documentation may be submitted to Landlord for approval in
stages as Tenant completes it. Landlord shall have a period of ten (10) days
from the date of receipt of each component of the documentation within which to
approve or reject it. The Approval Plans, as approved from time to time by
Landlord pursuant to this Section 11.1 shall constitute the "Authorized Plans."
Tenant shall immediately reimburse Landlord on demand for all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the
review and approval of any Approval Plans, provided that Landlord first gives
Tenant a detailed written notice that it has reasonable grounds to believe that
the Approval Plans violate material Legal Requirements, and Tenant fails either
to revise such Approval Plans to comply with such material Legal Requirements or
to provide reasonable evidence that the Approval Plans do not violate material
Legal Requirements. Landlord's approval of any Authorized Plans does not
constitute any representation or warranty by Landlord with respect to such
Authorized Plans, and Landlord hereby specifically disclaims any such
representations and warranties.
(b) FURTHER APPROVALS; PROPOSED CHANGES.
Subsequent to Landlord's approval of any Authorized Plans pursuant to Section
11.1(a), Tenant shall only be obligated to submit to Landlord for approval
documentation showing any proposed material change to the Authorized Plans (but
no approval shall be required with respect to construction or design matters
that are not contained or addressed by the Authorized Plans), and only to the
extent such change is materially inconsistent with the Authorized Plans.
Landlord shall have a period of ten (10) days from receipt of each material
change within which to approve or reject it. Landlord may only withhold
Landlord's approval to any such change to the Authorized Plans to the extent
that such change violates any material Legal Requirements, and Landlord may not
withhold its consent on any other ground. Tenant shall immediately reimburse
Landlord on demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred
by Landlord in connection with the review and approval of any such changes,
provided that Landlord first gives Tenant a detailed written notice that it has
reasonable grounds to believe that the Approval Plans violate material Legal
Requirements, and Tenant fails either to revise such Approval Plans to comply
with such material Legal Requirements or to provide reasonable evidence that
the Approval Plans do not violate material Legal Requirements. Tenant shall
have the right, without further approval of Landlord, to construct Improvements
not inconsistent with the Authorized Plans together with such changes thereto
as may be requested or required to comply with Legal Requirements.
(c) FAILURE TO DISAPPROVE. The failure by
Landlord to disapprove any portion of the proposed Approval Plans submitted
22.
28
pursuant to this Section 11.1, or send Notice that it has grounds to believe the
proposed Approval Plans violate a material Legal Requirement within the
specified approval period shall be deemed to constitute approval thereof as
submitted, and such Approval Plans shall thereupon become Authorized Plans. Any
disapproval by Landlord of any portion of the proposed Approval Plans shall be
in writing and shall specify with particularity the basis for the disapproval.
(d) OTHER IMPROVEMENTS AND ALTERATIONS. At any
time and from time to time, and without the necessity for obtaining Landlord's
approval or giving Notice thereof to Landlord, Tenant shall have the right, at
its expense, to make any Improvements, alterations, additions, repairs,
replacements or decorations in, to or of the Premises which do not materially
change the exterior design scope of the Improvements as previously approved by
Landlord pursuant to any Authorized Plans. In constructing any Improvements,
Tenant shall do so in a manner which does not violate any applicable and
material Legal Requirements.
11.2 REQUIRED PERMITS, EASEMENTS, ETC. From time to time,
upon request of Tenant, Landlord (as holder of record of title to the Land)
shall execute such reasonable documents, petitions, applications and
authorizations, easements and rights of way (which have been prepared at
Tenant's expense) and shall appear at and participate in such public hearings,
staff meetings and similar gatherings, in each case as may in the reasonable
and good-faith opinion of Tenant be necessary or appropriate for the purpose of
obtaining any Required Permits or private easements or rights of way or utility
services for the Improvements or to remove any title encumbrances on the Land
which may interfere with Tenant's construction of the Improvements. Tenant
shall immediately reimburse Landlord on demand (or pay directly) for all
reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in complying
with Landlord's obligations under this Section 11.2.
11.3 DEMOLITION AND RECONSTRUCTION. At any time and from
time to time, Tenant shall have the right to demolish or alter all or any
portion of the then existing Improvements and construct additional Improvements
in their place. The additional Improvements, if any, to be constructed shall
be submitted to and approved by Landlord only to the extent required by Section
11.1, as applicable.
11.4 TITLE TO AND NATURE OF IMPROVEMENTS. Any and all
Improvements of whatever nature at any time constructed, placed or maintained
upon any part of the Land shall be and remain the property of Tenant, subject
to Tenant's right to assign or sublease. The severance of fee title to the Land
and Improvements shall not change the character of the Improvements as real
property.
23.
29
ARTICLE 12
LIENS
Except for claims that Tenant is contesting in good faith in
such manner as to avoid any exposure of the Premises or any part thereof to
foreclosure or execution sale, Tenant shall promptly pay and discharge all
claims for work or labor done, supplies furnished or services rendered to the
Premises, and shall keep the Premises free and clear of all mechanics' and
materialmen's liens in connection therewith.
ARTICLE 13
ASSIGNMENT BY LANDLORD
13.1 FURTHER MORTGAGES OR ENCUMBRANCES BY LANDLORD;
AUTHORIZED LOANS.
(a) PROHIBITION. Except for the Tenant Deed of
Trust and as specifically permitted in Section 11.2, 13.1(b) or 20, Landlord
shall not cause or create any mortgages, deeds of trust, encumbrances or other
exceptions to title (collectively, "New Encumbrances") to exist with respect to
the Premises at any time, and any such encumbrance not authorized in writing by
Tenant shall be null and void. The term "New Encumbrances" shall also include
any bonds or assessments affecting the Premises to which Landlord consents in
writing without the prior written approval of Tenant (which may be withheld in
Tenant's sole and absolute discretion). Without the prior written consent of
Tenant (which may be withheld in Tenant's sole and absolute discretion),
Landlord shall not make or join in an application or other document which
requests or authorizes any bonds or assessments to affect the Premises.
Landlord recognizes that any New Encumbrance may irreparably harm Tenant in
connection with one or more of the following: (1) construction which Tenant
may desire to perform; (2) the use of the Premises; (3) Tenant's rights
pursuant to the Purchase Option in Section 19; (4) the amount of assessments
which Tenant is required to pay; or (5) other matters.
(b) AUTHORIZED LOAN. Tenant has approved the
terms of the loan ("UBS Loan") to be made by UBS to SGA which shall be
evidenced by that certain Tranche B Promissory Note dated as of the Lease
Commencement Date by SGA in favor of UBS ("UBS Note"), and further evidenced
and/or secured by (a) that certain General Terms and Conditions of Credit
Arrangement between SGA and UBS, (b) that certain Additional Terms and
Conditions between SGA and UBS, (c) that certain Pledge Agreement, as amended
by Rider No. 1 thereto, made by Tenant in favor of UBS, and (d) certain
documents (including, without limitation a promissory note and related
documents) evidencing a loan ("SGA Loan") from SGA to Landlord in the principal
amount of the UBS Note, all dated as of the Lease Commencement Date; provided,
however, that Tenant, Landlord and SGA reserve the right to approve, in their
sole discretion, the final form of all documents related to the UBS Loan. In
addition, upon
24.
30
the maturity or prepayment of the UBS Loan (whether by its terms, by
acceleration or otherwise), Landlord may (but, subject to the terms of Section
13.1(c), shall not be obligated to) enter into a new loan (such authorized loan
shall be the "New Loan"), provided Landlord first obtains Tenant's written
consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld except with respect
to the matters contained in clauses (i) through (v) below so long as: (i) the
UBS Loan is paid off with the proceeds of such New Loan and all documents
securing or reflecting the UBS Loan are assigned to the lender who makes the
New Loan or are released and satisfied; (ii) the principal amount of the New
Loan does not exceed the principal amount of the UBS Loan existing at the time
the UBS Loan is repaid; (iii) the interest rate and payment provisions under
the New Loan would not result in higher monthly payments than the method under
the UBS Loan, and all such monthly payments shall be interest only; (iv) there
are no prepayment prohibitions, penalties or other restrictions which would
limit rights to retire the New Loan or require additional payment to do so; and
(v) the New Loan documents do not contain terms and conditions which differ
from the UBS Loan documents in any material respect, including provisions
relating to the Collateral as defined in Section 21.18. The UBS Loan, the New
Loan authorized pursuant to the preceding sentence and the Replacement Loan
described in Section 13.1(c) below shall be the "Authorized Loan"; provided
that only one Authorized Loan may exist at any one point in time. Landlord may
not modify the terms of an Authorized Loan without the prior written consent of
Tenant, which Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold (but may be withheld in
Tenant's sole and absolute discretion based upon any of the matters identified
in subitems (i) through (v) above in this Section 13.1(b)).
(c) REPLACEMENT LOAN. Subject to Landlord's
prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), at the request of Tenant, Landlord shall execute and/or shall cause
SGA to execute loan documents evidencing and/or securing a new loan to Landlord
or SGA, the proceeds of which would be used to retire the UBS Loan (such loan
requested by Tenant shall be a "Replacement Loan"). Landlord shall only be
entitled to refuse to consent to such new loan if (1) the maturity date of the
Replacement Loan is a date before the expiration date of the Extension Term;
(2) the principal amount of the Replacement Loan exceeds the principal amount
of the UBS Loan plus any accrued interest and fees payable at the time the UBS
Loan is prepaid; (3) the interest rate structure under the Replacement Loan is
materially higher than market conditions would justify at the time; (4) there
are prepayment prohibitions, penalties or other restrictions which would limit
rights to retire the Replacement Loan or require additional payment to do so;
(5) the Replacement Loan creates greater liability for Landlord or SGA than
otherwise would exist for Landlord and SGA, or would result in the violation of
any law, rule or regulation applicable to Landlord or SGA, or (6) the
Replacement Loan documents contain terms and conditions which differ from the
UBS Loan documents in any material respect (including provisions relating to
the Collateral as defined in
25.
31
Section 21.18); provided, however, that Landlord shall not be entitled to object
to a Replacement Loan on the ground that Landlord, rather than SGA, shall be the
borrower under such Replacement Loan. Tenant shall pay all reasonable costs,
including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Landlord in
connection with obtaining such a Replacement Loan. If Tenant requests and
provides the funds, Landlord shall make all arrangements necessary for, and
shall pay down any Authorized Loan in the amount requested by Tenant, and shall
arrange for all documentation reasonably requested by Tenant to reflect the
reduction or elimination of such Authorized Loan.
(d) On the Lease Commencement Date, Landlord
shall execute, acknowledge, and cause to be recorded in the Official Records, a
deed of trust in form acceptable to Tenant ("Tenant Deed of Trust"), which
Tenant Deed of Trust shall secure Landlord's obligations under this Lease (i)
to return the Security Deposit pursuant to the terms of this Lease, (ii) to
convey the Premises to Tenant as required pursuant to Article 19 hereof, and
(iii) to comply with Sections 20.4, 20.5 and 20.6. The Tenant Deed of Trust
shall be a first priority lien against the Premises.
13.2 LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO SELL. Subject to Tenant's
Purchase Option and the mandatory purchase set forth in Article 19 and the
terms of Section 13.1 and Article 20, nothing contained in this Lease shall be
deemed in any way to limit, restrict or otherwise affect the right of Landlord
at any time and from time to time to sell or transfer all of its right, title
and estate in the Premises to a Landlord Affiliate or, if an Event of Major
Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such sale or transfer, to
any Entity, provided that such buyer or transferee shall concurrently assume
without incurring personal liability except as expressly provided in this
Lease, in writing, in a manner consistent with this Lease and in compliance
with all requirements of the UBS Loan documents, all of Landlord's and/or SGA's
obligations under the UBS Loan or any other Authorized Loan and the Landlord's
obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Lease, without the prior written consent of Tenant (which may be withheld in
Tenant's sole discretion), in no event shall Landlord sell or transfer all or
any portion of Landlord's right, title or estate in the Premises to any Entity
which does not then comply with the requirements of Sections 20.4 and 20.5 if
an Event of Major Default does not then exist at the time of such sale or
transfer. Any sale or transfer by Landlord whatsoever shall by its express

(a) TENANT'S RIGHT. Tenant shall have the right,
at any time and from time to time during the Term, to assign all or any portion

ARTICLE 15
EMINENT DOMAIN
15.1 TOTAL OR SUBSTANTIAL TAKING. If title or access is
taken for any public or quasi-public use, or under any statute or by right of
condemnation or eminent domain, or by sale in lieu thereof (a "Taking") with
respect to all of the Premises, or if title to so much of the Premises or
access thereto is Taken, or if the Premises or access thereto is damaged,
blocked or impaired by the Taking, so that, in Tenant's sole discretion, the
Premises or access thereto, even after a reasonable amount of reconstruction
thereof, will no longer be suitable for Tenant's (and/or Tenant's subtenants')
continued occupancy for the conduct of Tenant's (and/or Tenant's subtenants')
business in a manner consistent with the conduct of such business prior to such
Taking, then in any such event, this Lease shall terminate on the date of such
Taking.
15.2 PARTIAL TAKING. If any part of the Premises, or
access thereto, shall be Taken, and the Premises or the remaining part thereof
and access thereto will be, in Tenant's sole discretion, suitable for Tenant's
(and/or Tenant's subtenants') continued occupancy for the conduct of Tenant's
(and/or Tenant's subtenants') business in a manner consistent with the conduct
of such business prior to such Taking, all of the terms, covenants and
conditions of this Lease shall continue, except that Base Rent shall be
adjusted to reflect the decreased Funded Amount remaining after application
thereto of the award made to Landlord for such Taking (subject to Section 15.3
below).
15.3 TEMPORARY TAKING. If the whole or any part of the
Premises is Taken for temporary use or occupancy, this Lease shall not
terminate by reason thereof and Tenant shall continue to pay, in the manner and
at the times herein specified, the full amount of the Base Rent payable by
Tenant hereunder, and, except only to the extent that Tenant may be prevented
from so doing by reason of such Taking, Tenant shall continue to perform and
observe all of the other terms, covenants and conditions hereof on the part of
Tenant to be performed and observed, as though the Taking had not occurred. In
the event of any such temporary Taking, Tenant shall be entitled to receive the
entire amount of the award made for the
28.
34
Taking, whether paid by way of damages, rent or otherwise. If the temporary
Taking is for a term in excess of thirty (30) days, then the Taking shall be
treated as a permanent Taking and be governed by Section 15.1 or 15.2, as
applicable.
15.4 DAMAGES. The compensation awarded or paid upon any
Taking (other than a temporary Taking, which shall be governed by Section
15.3), whether awarded to Landlord, Tenant, or both of them, shall be
distributed as set forth below (in each case the compensation or value shall be
determined as of the date of the Taking):
(a) to Landlord, any amounts payable on account
of the value of the Land, but not to exceed an amount equal to the Funded
Amount (or, if less than the entire Premises is Taken, not to exceed a pro rata
portion of the Funded Amount equal to the ratio that the square footage of the
portion of the Premises Taken bears to the square footage of the entire
Premises prior to the Taking) plus all accrued Rent hereunder; and
(b) to Tenant, any other award, or portion
thereof, including any portion of the award above the Funded Amount (or the pro
rata portion thereof) pursuant to Section 15.4(a)).
Landlord shall promptly pay over to UBS or the holder of an
Authorized Loan, as the case may be, any award (not exceeding, however, the
Senior Funded Amount) paid to Landlord hereunder, and Tenant shall be entitled
to establish reasonable security arrangements to ensure the prompt payment of
such amounts to such holder. The Funded Amount shall be reduced on a dollar-
for-dollar basis by the amount of any award required to be paid by Landlord to
such holder of an Authorized Loan pursuant to the preceding sentence.
15.5 NOTICE AND EXECUTION. Immediately upon service of
process upon Landlord or Tenant in connection with any Taking relating to the
Premises or any portion thereof or access thereto, each party shall give the
other Notice thereof. Each party agrees to execute and deliver to the other
all instruments that may be required to effectuate the provisions of this
Article 15. Tenant reserves the right to appear in and to contest any
proceedings in connection with any such Taking. Tenant shall immediately
reimburse Landlord on demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and
expenses incurred by Landlord in complying with Landlord's obligations under
this Section 15.5.

DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
16.1 INSURED CASUALTY. If any Improvements are damaged
or destroyed by fire or other casualty, this Lease shall continue in full force
and effect without any abatement or reduction in Base Rent, and Tenant, at
Tenant's election, may either (a) restore the
29.
35
Improvements to their condition prior to the damage or destruction, or such
other condition as Tenant shall elect in its sole and absolute discretion,
subject to Landlord's approval rights set forth in Section 11.1, or (b) not
restore the Improvements, but perform, or cause to be performed, at Tenant's
sole cost and expense, any work or service required by any Legal Requirement
for the protection of persons or property from any risk, or for the abatement
of any nuisance, created by or arising from the casualty or the damage or
destruction caused thereby.

other casualty, the proceeds of any insurance policies maintained by Tenant
shall be distributed to Tenant, and Landlord shall have no claim or right with
respect thereto.

cannot with due diligence be cured within the period of thirty (30) days,
Tenant's failure to proceed promptly and with due diligence to cure the failure
and thereafter to prosecute the curing of the failure with all due diligence,

any Notice it is permitted to give pursuant to Section 17.3 (or, in the event
Tenant gives timely Notice and pursues a contest under Section 17.3, Tenant's
failure to finally prevail in the contest).

except in the case of a purchase obligation arising on account of expiration of
the Term of this Lease, in which case no such Notice shall be required;
(d) FAILURE TO CARRY LIABILITY INSURANCE. Tenant's
failure to carry the liability insurance required by Section 7.1, if such

involuntary petition of the type described in Section 17.1(b) or upon the
appointment of a receiver, other than a receiver appointed in any voluntary
proceeding referred to in Section 17.1(b), or the taking of possession of all
or a substantial portion of the Premises by any department of the city, county,
state or federal government, or any officer thereof duly authorized, by reason
of the alleged insolvency of Tenant without the consent or over the objection
of Tenant, should Tenant desire to contest the same in good faith, Tenant
shall, within ninety (90) days after the filing of the petition or after the
appointment or taking of possession, give Notice to Landlord that Tenant
proposes to make the contest, and the same shall not constitute a Default so
long as Tenant shall prosecute the proceedings with due diligence and no part
of the Premises shall be exposed to sale by reason of the continuance of the
contest.
17.4 REMEDIES. Landlord shall have the remedies
specified below, the parties hereby acknowledging that the remedies described
in Section 17.4(b) may be exercised by Landlord only upon the occurrence of an
Event of Major Default. Tenant shall at all times have the right to exercise

Lease, and Landlord shall have the obligation to comply with Landlord's
obligations under Section 19.1 notwithstanding any Default or Event of Major

by suit or otherwise, all other covenants and conditions hereof to be performed
or complied with by Tenant and to exercise all other remedies permitted by
Section 1951.4 of the California Civil Code, or any amendments thereof or any
successor laws which replace such Section 1951.4. Landlord has the remedy
described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (Landlord may continue the
Lease in effect after Tenant's breach and abandonment and recover Base Rent as
it becomes due, if Tenant has right to sublet or assign, subject only to
reasonable limitation). Upon application by Landlord, a receiver may be
appointed to take possession of the Premises and exercise all rights granted to
Landlord as set forth in this Section 17.4(a); and
(b) TERMINATE LEASE. In connection with an
Event of Major Default (but not a Default), Landlord shall have the right to
terminate this Lease, by giving Tenant Notice thereof, at any time after the
occurrence of such Event of Major Default and whether or not Landlord has also
exercised any right under Section 17.4(a). In such event, Tenant shall, within
twenty (20) days after receipt of Notice from Landlord, purchase the Premises
pursuant to Section 19.2.
17.5 NO WAIVER. No failure by Landlord or Tenant to
insist upon the strict performance of any term, covenant or condition of this
Lease or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof and
no acceptance of full or partial Rent during the continuance of any breach
shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of the term, covenant, or
condition. No term, covenant or condition of this Lease to be performed or
complied with by Tenant or Landlord, and no breach thereof, shall be waived,
terminated, altered or modified except by a written instrument executed by
Landlord and Tenant. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Lease,
but each and every term, covenant, and condition of this Lease shall continue
in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing subsequent
breach thereof.
17.6 EFFECT OF ASSIGNMENT. Notwithstanding an Entity's
prior assignment or transfer of its interest as Tenant under this Lease, so
long as Landlord has been given Notice of such assignment pursuant to Sections
14.1(b) and 21.3, Landlord shall give such Entity copies of all Notices
required by this Article 17 in connection with any Default, and such Entity
shall have the period granted hereunder to Tenant to cure such Default, unless
such Entity shall have been released from all obligations arising under this
Lease. Landlord may not assert any rights against such Entity in the absence
of such Notice and opportunity to cure, so long as Landlord has been given
Notice of such assignment pursuant to Sections 14.1(b) and 21.3.
17.7 LANDLORD CURE RIGHT. If Tenant fails to perform any
covenant or agreement to be performed by Tenant under this
32.
38
Lease, and if the failure or default continues for thirty (30) days after Notice
to Tenant and to any Mortgagee who has requested in writing notice thereof from
Landlord (except for emergencies and except for payment of any lien or
encumbrance threatening the imminent sale of the Premises or any portion
thereof, in which case payment or cure may be made as soon as necessary to
minimize the damage to person or property caused by such emergency or to prevent
any such sale), Landlord may, but shall have no obligation to, pay the same and
cure such default on behalf of and at the expense of Tenant and do all
reasonably necessary work and make all reasonably necessary payments in
connection therewith including, but not limited to, the payment of reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements incurred by Landlord. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Landlord shall have no right to cure any such failure to perform by
Tenant so long as Tenant both: (1) is diligently and in good faith attempting
to cure such matter; and (2) has the financial ability to so comply.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, in no event shall
Landlord have a right to cure any matters relating to the Improvements unless
such matter constitutes a crime by Landlord and subjects Landlord to criminal
penalties (except as specifically permitted in Section 8.1(b)). Upon demand,
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable amount so paid, together with
interest at the Lease Rate from the date incurred until the date repaid. Tenant
shall defend, indemnify, and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all
losses, costs, expenses, liabilities, claims, causes of action and damages of
all kinds that may result to Landlord, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements incurred by Landlord, arising because of any failure by Tenant to
perform any of its obligations under this Lease. Tenant's duty to indemnify
Landlord under this Section 17.7 shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease.
17.8 LANDLORD'S DEFAULT.
(a) General. If Landlord fails to perform any
covenant or agreement to be performed by Landlord under Article 11, Section
13.1, Section 15.4, Article 20, or Section 21.10 of this Lease (including, but
not limited to, Landlord's failure to keep the Premises free of any and all
liens created by or through Landlord except as approved by Tenant in writing),
and if the failure or default continues for thirty (30) days after Notice to
Landlord and to any Fee Mortgagee who has requested in writing notice thereof
from Tenant (except for (i) emergencies, or (ii) payment of any lien or
encumbrance threatening the imminent sale of the Premises or any portion
thereof, in which case payment or cure may be made as soon as necessary to
minimize the damage to person or property caused by such emergency or to
prevent any such sale), Tenant may, but shall have no obligation to, pay the
same and cure such default on behalf of and, so long as such failure to perform
arises due to Landlord's gross negligence, willful misconduct, or willful
breach of this Lease, at the expense of Landlord and do all reasonably
necessary work and make all reasonably necessary payments in connection
therewith including, but not limited to, the payment of reasonable attorneys'
fees and
33.
39
disbursements incurred by Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall
have no right to cure any such failure to perform by Landlord so long as
Landlord both: (1) is diligently and in good faith attempting to cure such
matter; and (2) has the financial ability to so comply. To the extent that
Landlord's failure to perform arises due to its gross negligence, willful
misconduct or willful breach of this Lease, upon demand, Landlord shall
reimburse Tenant for the reasonable amount so paid, together with interest at
the Lease Rate from the date incurred until the date repaid. To the extent that
Landlord's failure to perform arises due to its gross negligence, willful
misconduct or willful breach of this Lease, Landlord shall defend, protect,
indemnify, and hold Tenant harmless from and against any and all losses, costs,
expenses, liabilities, claims, causes of action and damages of all kinds that
may result to Tenant, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements
incurred by Tenant, arising because of any failure by Landlord to perform any of
its obligations under Article 11, Section 13.1, Section 15.4, Article 20 or
Section 21.10 of this Lease. Landlord's duty to indemnify Tenant under this
Section 17.8 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
(b) Default Under Certain Provisions.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section (a) above, in the event of
a default by Landlord under Section 20.6, Tenant shall have the right to cure
such default on behalf of and at Landlord's expense, without prior notice to
Landlord. In addition, in the event of any default by Landlord under Section
20.4, 20.5 or 20.6, Tenant shall have the right to exercise its Purchase Option
pursuant to Section 19.1 hereof, and to offset against the Purchase Price the
amount of all losses and reasonable costs and expenses (including without
limitation reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Tenant arising from such
default by Landlord, including without limitation all losses arising by reason
of Tenant's inability to treat the transactions contemplated by this Lease as
an operating lease for financial accounting and securities regulatory purposes,
and all costs and expenses incurred in connection with negotiating and entering
into a new lease upon exercise of the Purchase Option.
ARTICLE 18
QUIET ENJOYMENT
18.1 QUIET ENJOYMENT. Landlord covenants to secure to
Tenant the quiet possession of the Premises for the full Term against all
persons claiming the same, subject to Landlord's rights and remedies under
Section 17 upon a Default or an Event of Major Default by Tenant. The
existence of any Permitted Exceptions shall not be deemed to constitute a
breach of Landlord's obligations hereunder. Tenant shall, immediately upon
demand, reimburse Landlord for all reasonable costs, expenses and damages
incurred or paid by Landlord in the performance of Landlord's obligations under
this Article 18 (except for any costs, expenses or damages arising from
Landlord's willful breach of this Lease).
34.
40
ARTICLE 19
TENANT'S OPTION TO PURCHASE
19.1 OPTION TO PURCHASE PREMISES.
(a) PURCHASE OPTION. Tenant shall have the
option ("Purchase Option") to purchase all or part of the Premises at any time
during the Term; provided that Tenant shall be entitled to purchase less than
all of the Premises only if the portion being purchased is released from any
existing Fee Mortgage and if the portion of the Premises not purchased shall
constitute one or more legal lots after closing of the purchase and shall be
reasonably viable as a separate property. The purchase price ("Purchase
Price") for the portion of the Premises which Tenant elects to purchase shall
be (i) the then-existing Funded Amount applicable to the portion of the
Premises which Tenant elects to purchase (determined in a pro rata basis on the
basis of the area being purchased), as the same may be reduced from time to
time, plus (ii) the amount of any prepayment premium and all other fees, costs,
and expenses due to any holder of an Authorized Loan in connection with such
loan (to the extent not already paid pursuant to Section 21.21 hereof), less
(iii) the amount of the Security Deposit (or, in the event of a purchase of a
portion of the Premises, a pro rata portion of the Security Deposit). Tenant
shall be entitled to a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the principal
balance(s) of any Authorized Loan and/or Fee Mortgage existing immediately
prior to the closing under this Purchase Option if such Authorized Loan and/or
Fee Mortgage are not fully repaid and all documents reflecting the same are not
cancelled and removed from the public records on or prior to the closing under
this Purchase Option. If Tenant purchases less than all of the then- existing
Premises, then the credit pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be
calculated on a pro rata basis, based upon the ratio of the area of the
Premises being purchased compared to the area of the then-existing Premises.
In lieu of payment of the Purchase Price, Tenant shall have the right (1) to
assume the UBS Loan or any other Authorized Loan or (2) to cause Landlord to
assign the Authorized Loan to a third party acceptable to the holder of such
Authorized Loan (which third party shall expressly assume such obligations in
writing), provided that Landlord is released from all obligations under the
Authorized Loan. Landlord shall execute any and all documents necessary to
effect such assumption and assignment upon Tenant's request, provided that
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all reasonable costs and expenses related
thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Purchase Price
shall not include any interest, fees, late charges or any other costs or
expenses incurred or charged to Landlord or Tenant by reason of a default by
Landlord under Section 20.6 hereof.
(b) PURCHASE OPTION EXERCISE NOTICE. If Tenant
desires to exercise the Purchase Option, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a
written notice ("Purchase Option Exercise Notice") of Tenant's election;
provided, however, that in the event of an
35.
41
assignment by Landlord for the benefit of creditors generally, the filing of a
voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy petition by or against Landlord or the
appointment of a receiver, liquidator or trustee for all or a substantial
portion of the Premises by reason of Landlord's insolvency or alleged
insolvency, the Purchase Option shall be deemed exercised with respect to the
entire Premises as of the calendar day immediately preceding such assignment,
filing or appointment.
(c) TRANSFER. If Tenant exercises the Purchase
Option, the purchase and sale of the Premises being purchased shall be
consummated as follows. In the event of a purchase of a portion of the
Premises, the term "Premises" as used in this Section 19.1(c) shall be deemed
to mean that portion of the Premises then to be purchased pursuant to the
Purchase Option.
(i) Landlord shall grant and convey the
Premises to Tenant, its authorized agent or assignee, pursuant to a duly
executed and acknowledged grant deed ("Grant Deed"), free and clear of all
title defects, liens, encumbrances, deeds of trust, mortgages, rights-of-way
and restrictive covenants or conditions, except for the Permitted Exceptions.
Landlord shall assign and Tenant shall assume all rights, duties and
obligations under the Legal Requirements affecting the Premises, effective as
of the date of recordation of the Grant Deed;
(ii) The Purchase Price shall be paid
upon delivery of the Grant Deed and any other documents reasonably requested by
Tenant to evidence the transfer of the Premises or to release all liens of
Landlord, including, without limitation, any and all reconveyances of mortgages
or other recorded documents as requested by Tenant ("Additional Documents").
In the event that Tenant elects to assign the Purchase Option pursuant to
Section 19.1(d) below, and Tenant's assignee pays an amount less than the
Purchase Price for the Premises, Tenant shall pay to Landlord any excess of the
Purchase Price over the amount paid by such assignee. Landlord shall deliver
the Grant Deed and the Additional Documents to Tenant on the date for closing
specified by Tenant in the Purchase Option Exercise Notice (which date shall be
no sooner than ten (10) days after the date of the Purchase Option Exercise
Notice and no later than the last day of the Term, as the same may be
extended). The closing shall take place at the location and in the manner
reasonably set forth by Tenant in the Purchase Option Exercise Notice;
(iii) If Landlord shall fail to cause
title to be in the condition required in Section 19.1(c)(i) above within the
time herein prescribed for the delivery of the Grant Deed, then Tenant shall
have the right, in addition to all other rights provided by law, by a written
notice to Landlord: (1) to extend the time in which Landlord shall clear title
and deliver the Grant Deed and Additional Documents, during which extension
this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, except Tenant shall be
released from its obligation to pay Base Rent during the extension; (2) to
36.
42
accept delivery of the Grant Deed and Additional Documents subject to such title
defects, liens, encumbrances, deeds of trust, mortgages, rights-of-way and
restrictive covenants or conditions specified and set forth in the Grant Deed
and not cleared by Landlord (but without waiving any rights or remedies
available to Tenant on account of such title exceptions); (3) to rescind, by
notice to Landlord and without any penalty or liability therefor, any and all
obligations Tenant may have under and by virtue of the Purchase Option or the
exercise thereof, whereupon this Lease shall remain in full force and effect;
(4) if the title exception is curable by the payment of money, Tenant may make
such payment and such payment shall be a credit against the Purchase Price in
favor of Tenant.
(iv) Refusal of a title company to issue
a standard form of owner's title insurance policy insuring title to the
Premises in the condition specified in subparagraph (c)(i) shall be sufficient
evidence of Landlord's failure to convey clear title and shall entitle Tenant
to exercise any of the rights specified in subparagraph (c)(iii).
(v) Base Rent shall be prorated and
paid and all unpaid Additional Rent shall be paid as of the date title to the
Premises is vested of record in Tenant. Tenant shall pay the escrow fees; the
recorder's fee for recording the Grant Deed; the premium for the title
insurance policy; all documentary transfer taxes; Tenant's attorneys' fees;
Landlord's reasonable attorneys' fees; all other costs and expenses incurred by
Tenant in consummating the transfer of the Premises; and all reasonable
expenses (except as specified in the next sentence) incurred by Landlord in
consummating the transfer of the Premises pursuant to this Section 19.1.
Landlord shall pay the costs and expenses of clearing title as required by
Section 19.1(c)(i). In the event of a purchase by Tenant under this Article
19, Landlord shall have no obligation to return the Security Deposit to Tenant
to the extent the Security Deposit has been credited against the purchase price
to be paid by Tenant pursuant to Section 19.1(a).
(d) ASSIGNMENT. Tenant shall have the right on
one or more occasions, without Landlord's consent, to assign this purchase
option, in whole or in part, to any Entity at any time, whether or not Tenant
also assigns its interest in the Lease. Tenant shall give prior written notice
to Landlord of any such assignment.
19.2 MANDATORY PURCHASE/SALE OF PREMISES.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon either: (1) expiration of
the Term of this Lease or upon the occurrence of any other event terminating
this Lease; or (2) the occurrence of any event which causes the Funded Amount
to be reduced to zero (0), within thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of
written notice of the foregoing and of Tenant's purchase obligation under this
Section 19.2, Tenant shall purchase or cause another Entity to purchase, and
Landlord shall sell, the Premises in the same manner
37.
43
as if Tenant had exercised the Purchase Option on such date. The Purchase Price
shall be the same as if Tenant had exercised the Purchase Option, without regard
to the physical state or condition of the Premises or any Improvements (but
Tenant shall have the rights set forth in Section 19.1, including without
limitation, the terms of Sections 19.1(c)(iii) and (iv)). In the event Tenant
fails to purchase (or cause another Entity to purchase) the Premises pursuant to
its obligation under this Section 19.2, Landlord (to the extent required under
Section 21.19) shall sell the Premises to an unrelated third party and, as
applicable, (i) Tenant shall be obligated to pay to Landlord, immediately upon
demand, any excess of the Purchase Price over the amount realized by Landlord in
connection with such sale, or (ii) Landlord shall be obligated to pay to Tenant,
immediately upon demand, any excess of the amount realized by Landlord in
connection with such sale over the Purchase Price. For purposes of the
preceding sentence, the amount realized by Landlord upon a sale of the Premises
shall be net of Landlord's reasonable sale expenses and other expenses incurred
by Landlord but required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to Section 19.1(c)(v).
Landlord's obligation to pay such excess to Tenant shall survive any termination
of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything set forth elsewhere herein, if Tenant
fails to timely comply with Tenant's obligation to purchase the Premises
pursuant to this Section 19.2, upon ten (10) days' prior written Notice, then so
long as title is in the condition required by Section 19.1(c)(i), Landlord may
transfer title to the Premises to Tenant by way of the Grant Deed described in
Section 19.1(c)(i), and Tenant shall accept such Grant Deed and promptly and
properly file the same of record. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Lease, in the event of default, breach or violation by Tenant of any of
Tenant's obligations under this Section 19.2, Tenant shall have no liability to
Landlord or any other party in excess of an amount equal to the then-existing
Guaranteed Residual Value, less a credit equal to the sum of (a) any of the
Collateral which UBS or any other holder of an Authorized Loan has used,
applied, or otherwise come into possession of, plus (b) any of the Security
Deposit retained by Landlord, and Landlord shall have no recourse, claim or
counterclaim whatsoever against Tenant in excess of such amount on account of
such default, breach or violation. If the Guaranteed Residual Value has not
previously been determined as of the date Tenant's liability under this Section
19.2 has been established, then the Guaranteed Residual Value shall be
determined as of the date Tenant's liability hereunder is established.
19.3 SURVIVAL. The obligations of Landlord and Tenant
under this Article 19 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease.
ARTICLE 20
ADDITIONAL COVENANTS OF LANDLORD
20.1 TITLE. In the event Tenant so requests in writing
(and so long as either Tenant agrees to indemnify Landlord from any
38.
44
liabilities or obligations in connection therewith, or Landlord does not incur
any liabilities or obligations in connection therewith), Landlord shall execute
all documents, instruments and agreements reasonably requested by Tenant in
order to accomplish any of the following in the manner reasonably requested by
Tenant and within the time parameters reasonably requested by Tenant: (1)
remove exceptions to title to or affecting the Premises; (2) create exceptions
to title (including, without limitation, easements and rights of way) to or
affecting the Premises (but not including any Mortgage); (3) modify any
then-existing exception to title or (4) subdivide the Premises into two or more
separate parcels. Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for, or at
Landlord's request, pay directly in advance, all reasonable costs, expenses and
other amounts incurred or required to be expended by Landlord in order to
comply with Tenant's requests made in accordance with the preceding sentence,
and the failure of Tenant to reimburse or pay any such amounts shall result in
the suspension of Landlord's obligations under such sentence with respect to
that particular request until the amounts required to be paid by Tenant under
this sentence have been paid. Landlord acknowledges that it is critical to
Tenant's ability to construct improvements on the Premises to have the ability
and flexibility to accomplish the foregoing, and that the parties therefore
agree that Landlord shall not be entitled to withhold Landlord's consent to any
of the foregoing requests by Tenant, except as set forth in the preceding
sentence.
20.2 LAND USE. Except where requested by Tenant pursuant
to this Section 20.2, Landlord shall not cause or give its written consent to
any land use or zoning change affecting the Premises or any changes of street
grade. In the event Tenant so requests in writing (and so long as either
Tenant agrees to indemnify Landlord from any liabilities or obligations in
connection therewith, or Landlord does not incur any liabilities or obligations
in connection therewith), Landlord shall execute all documents, instruments and
agreements reasonably requested by Tenant in order to accomplish any of the
following in the manner reasonably requested by Tenant and within the time
parameters reasonably requested by Tenant: (1) cause a change in any land use
restriction or law affecting the Premises; (2) cause a change in the zoning
affecting the Premises; or (3) cause a change in the street grade with respect
to any street in the vicinity of the Premises. Tenant shall promptly reimburse
Landlord for, or at Landlord's request, pay directly in advance, all reasonable
costs, expenses and other amounts incurred or required to be expended by
Landlord in order to comply with Tenant's requests made in accordance with the
preceding sentence, and the failure of Tenant to reimburse or pay any such
amounts shall result in the suspension of Landlord's obligations under such
sentence with respect to that particular request until the amounts required to
be paid by Tenant under this sentence have been paid. Landlord acknowledges
that it is critical to Tenant's ability to construct improvements on the
Premises to have the ability and flexibility to accomplish the foregoing, and
that the parties therefore agree that Landlord shall
39.
45
not be entitled to withhold Landlord's request to any of the foregoing requests
by Tenant.
20.3 TRANSFER OF PROPERTY INTERESTS. Except as requested
by Tenant pursuant to Section 11.2 or 20.1, Landlord shall not transfer to any
third party any rights inuring to or benefits associated with the Premises
(including, without limitation, zoning rights, development rights, air space
rights, mineral, oil, gas or water rights). Nothing in this Section 20.3 shall
limit Landlord's rights pursuant to Section 13.2; provided that any purchaser
of Landlord's interest in the Premises shall be bound by the terms of this
Lease, including without limitation, the terms of this Section 20.3.
20.4 SHAREHOLDER EQUITY; NO OTHER ASSET. Landlord
covenants and agrees that during the Term of the Lease, Landlord shall maintain
a shareholder equity balance of not less than three percent (3%) of its total
assets, including without limitation, the Property. In addition, Landlord
shall not, without the prior written consent of Tenant, which consent may be
withheld at Tenant's sole discretion, acquire any significant assets other than
(i) the Premises, (ii) any Improvements to be built on the Premises, and (iii)
the land and any Improvements thereon, which is subject to those certain Ground
Leases between Landlord and Tenant, which land is described on Exhibit F
attached hereto.
20.5 RECOURSE OBLIGATIONS. Landlord agrees that during
the Term of this Lease, Landlord will not incur any indebtedness for borrowed
money or any other material obligations to which the holder or obligee thereof
has recourse against Landlord to satisfy the same without Tenant's prior
written consent, which consent Tenant may withhold in its sole discretion.
20.6 DEFAULT UNDER AUTHORIZED LOAN. Landlord shall not,
without Tenant's express prior written consent, default under any Authorized
Loan, or any loan documents relating to such Authorized Loan, where such
default is not caused, directly or indirectly by a breach of any of Tenant's
obligations under this Lease, under the Pledge Agreement securing the UBS Loan
or under any documents relating to any Authorized Loan.
ARTICLE 21
MISCELLANEOUS
21.1 RELATIONSHIP. Neither this Lease nor any agreements
or transactions contemplated hereby shall in any respect be interpreted, deemed
or construed as constituting Landlord and Tenant as partners or joint
venturers, one with the other, or as creating any lender/borrower, partnership,
joint venture, association or, except as set forth in Section 21.2 below, any
other relationship other than that of landlord and tenant; and, except as set
forth in Section 21.2 below, both Landlord and Tenant agree not to make any
contrary assertion, contention, claim or
40.
46
counterclaim in any action, suit or other legal proceeding involving either
Landlord or Tenant or the subject matter of this Lease.
21.2 FORM OF TRANSACTION; CERTAIN TAX MATTERS.
(a) Landlord and Tenant hereby agree and declare
that the transactions contemplated by this Lease are intended to constitute,
both as to matters of form and substance:
(i) an operating lease for financial
accounting and securities regulatory purposes, and
(ii) a financing arrangement (and not a
"true lease") for Federal, state and local income tax purposes.
Accordingly, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the
contrary, Landlord and Tenant agree and declare that (A) the transactions
contemplated hereby are intended to have a dual, rather than single, form and
(B) all references in this Lease to the "Lease" of the Premises which fail to
reference such dual form do so as a matter of convenience only and do not
reflect the intent of Landlord and Tenant as to the true form of such
arrangements.
(b) Landlord and Tenant agree that, in accordance
with their intentions and the substance of the transactions contemplated hereby,
Tenant (and not Landlord) shall be treated as the owner of the Premises for
Federal, state, and local income tax purposes and this Lease shall be treated as
a financing arrangement. Tenant shall be entitled to take any deduction, credit
allowance or other reporting, filing or other tax position consistent with such
characterizations. Landlord and Tenant shall not file any Federal, state or
local income tax returns, reports or other statements, or take any other
actions, in a manner which is inconsistent with the foregoing provisions of this
Section 21.2.
(c) Each party acknowledges that it has retained
accounting, tax and legal advisors to assist it in structuring this Lease and
neither party is relying on any representations of the other regarding the
proper treatment of this transaction for accounting, income tax or any other
purpose. Nothing in this Section 21.2(c) shall increase or diminish any
liability or obligation of the parties that otherwise exists pursuant to this
Lease.
21.3 NOTICES. Each Notice shall be in writing and shall
be sent by personal delivery, overnight courier (charges prepaid or billed to
the sender) or by the deposit of such with the United States Postal Service, or
any official successor thereto, designated as registered or certified mail,
return receipt requested, bearing adequate postage and in each case addressed
as provided in the Basic Lease Provisions. Each Notice shall be effective upon
being personally delivered or actually received. The time period in which a
response to any such Notice must be
41.
47
given or any action taken with respect thereto shall commence to run from the
date of personal delivery or receipt of the Notice by the addressee thereof, as
reflected on the return receipt of the Notice. Rejection or other refusal to
accept shall be deemed to be receipt of the Notice sent. By giving to the other
party at least thirty (30) days' prior Notice thereof, either party to this
Lease (as well as any Mortgagee) shall have the right from time to time during
the Term of this Lease to change the address(es) thereof and to specify as the
address(es) thereof any other address(es) within the continental United States
of America.
21.4 SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. If any term, covenant
or condition of this Lease, or the application thereof to any Entity or
circumstance, shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease,
or the application of such term, covenant or condition to Entities or
circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable,
shall not be affected thereby.
21.5 ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENT. This Lease and other
documents expressly referred to herein constitute the entire agreement of
Landlord and Tenant with respect to the subject matter hereof. Neither this
Lease nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated
orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom
enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.
21.6 APPROVALS AND CONSENTS. Except as expressly
provided in this Lease, whenever any provision of this Lease requires an
approval or consent to be given by one of the parties hereto, the approval or
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Whenever this Lease
grants either party the right to take action, exercise discretion, establish
rules and regulations, or make an allocation or other determination, except as
otherwise provided, such party shall act reasonably and in good faith and take
no action which might result in the frustration of the other party's reasonable
expectations concerning the benefits to be enjoyed under this Lease. If either
party withholds its consent or approval, unless by the express terms of this
Lease such consent or approval may be withheld in such party's sole discretion,
such party shall, upon request, promptly deliver to the other party a written
statement specifying in detail the reason or reasons why such consent or
approval was withheld or refused. If neither approval nor rejection is given
by Landlord within the time specified in Article 11 as to any particular
approval requested by Tenant under Article 11 (or, if no such time is
specified, then within thirty (30) days after request for approval is given by
a Notice), then the approval thus specifically requested in writing by Tenant
shall be conclusively and irrevocably deemed to have been given by Landlord.
21.7 TERMINOLOGY. All personal pronouns used in this
Lease shall include all other genders. The singular shall include the plural
and the plural shall include the singular. Titles of
42.
48
Articles, Sections and Subsections in this Lease are for convenience only and
neither limit nor amplify the provisions of this Lease, and all references in
this Lease to Articles, Sections or Subsections shall refer to the corresponding
Article, Section or Subsection of this Lease unless specific reference is made
to the articles, sections or other subdivisions of another document or
instrument. The word "days" as used herein shall mean calendar days unless
otherwise expressly stated.
21.8 MEMORANDUM OF LEASE. Neither party shall record
this Lease. However, concurrently with the execution of this Lease, Landlord
and Tenant have executed a Memorandum of Lease in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit C and by this reference made a part hereof, which Memorandum of Lease
shall be promptly recorded in the Official Records.
21.9 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Subject to Articles 13 and
14, this Lease shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Landlord and
Tenant and their respective heirs, executors, legal representatives, successors
and assigns. Whenever in this Lease a reference to any Entity is made, such
reference shall be deemed to include a reference to the heirs, executors, legal
representatives, successors and assigns of such Entity.
21.10 COMMISSIONS. Landlord and Tenant each represent and
warrant that neither has dealt with any broker in connection with this
transaction and that no real estate broker, salesperson or finder has the right
to claim a real estate brokerage, salesperson's commission or finder's fee by
reason of contact between the parties brought about by such broker, salesperson
or finder. Each party shall hold and save the other harmless of and from any
and all loss, cost, damage, injury or expense arising out of or in any way
related to claims for real estate broker's or salesperson's commissions or fees
based upon allegations made by the claimant that it is entitled to such a fee
from the indemnified party arising out of contact with the indemnifying party
or alleged introductions of the indemnifying party to the indemnified party.
21.11 ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event any action is brought
by Landlord or Tenant against the other to enforce or for the breach of any of
the terms, covenants or conditions contained in this Lease, the prevailing
party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees to be fixed by
the court, together with costs of suit therein incurred. Tenant shall pay the
reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord for the review and negotiation
of this Lease and the UBS Loan documents.
21.12 GOVERNING LAW. This Lease and the obligations of
the parties hereunder shall be governed by and interpreted, construed and
enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California.
21.13 COUNTERPARTS. This Lease may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an
43.
49
original and all of which together shall comprise but a single instrument.
21.14 TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. Time is of the essence of
this Lease, and of each provision hereof.
21.15 NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This Lease is entered
into by Landlord and Tenant for the sole benefit of Landlord and Tenant. There
are no third party beneficiaries to this Lease.
21.16 NO RECOURSE. The obligations of Tenant and Landlord
(including, without limitation, the obligations of Landlord with respect to the
Identified Matters set forth below) under this Lease shall be without recourse
to any partner, officer, trustee, beneficiary, shareholder, director or
employee of Tenant or Landlord. There shall be no limitation on Landlord's
liability with respect to any willful misconduct, bad faith breach of this
Lease, gross negligence by Landlord, or any breach by Landlord of its
obligations with respect to Sections 20.4, 20.5 or 20.6 ("Identified Matters").
Except for Identified Matters, Landlord's liability to Tenant for any default
by Landlord under this Lease is limited to Landlord's interest in the Premises,
and Tenant agrees to look solely to Landlord's interest therein for the
recovery of any judgment against Landlord, it being intended that neither
Landlord nor any of its shareholders, employees, agents, representatives,
affiliates, officers or directors shall be personally liable for any judgment
or deficiency.
21.17 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Within thirty (30) days
after request therefor by either party, the non- requesting party shall
deliver, in recordable form, a certificate to any proposed mortgagee,
purchaser, sublessee or assignee and to the requesting party, certifying (if
such be the case) that this Lease is in full force and effect, the date of
Tenant's most recent payment of Rent, that, to the best of its knowledge, the
non-requesting party has no defenses or offsets outstanding, or stating those
claimed, and any other information reasonably requested. Failure to deliver
said statement in time shall be conclusive upon the non-requesting party that:
(a) this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may
be represented by the requesting party; (b) there are no uncured defaults in
the requesting party's performance and the non-requesting party has no right of
offset, counterclaim or deduction against the non-requesting party's
obligations hereunder; (c) no more than one month's Base Rent has been paid in
advance; and (d) any other matters reasonably requested in such certificate.
21.18 COLLATERAL. The parties acknowledge that Tenant has
pledged certain collateral ("Collateral") to UBS to secure SGA's obligations
under the terms of the UBS Note. If the holder of an Authorized Loan applies
any of the Collateral to satisfy an obligation under any Authorized Loan
documents, such application shall be deemed to reduce the Senior Funded Amount
under this Lease
44.
50
on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Tenant shall have no claims, rights or causes of
action against Landlord arising from any application of the Collateral to
satisfy an obligation under the Authorized Loan documents; provided, however,
that nothing herein shall release Landlord from any claims, rights or causes of
action of Tenant for any breach of this Lease by Landlord or any default by
Landlord under any documents relating to an Authorized Loan, which default does
not arise, directly or indirectly from or as a result of any default by Tenant
of its obligations under the Lease.
21.19 LANDLORD'S CONTINUING OBLIGATION TO SELL.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event Landlord obtains
possession of the Premises pursuant to the terms of this Lease (including,
without limitation, upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease
where Tenant has defaulted in its obligation to purchase the Premises pursuant
to Section 19.2), Landlord shall be under a continuing obligation to use its
commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Premises to Tenant or to one or
more unrelated third parties; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be
required to sell or attempt to sell any portion of the Premises (i) in a
manner, or under circumstances, that could materially impair Landlord's ability
to enforce any of its rights or remedies under this Lease (as determined in
Landlord's sole discretion exercised in good faith) or (ii) at a time when
market conditions render it inadvisable to sell or attempt to sell the Premises
(as determined in Landlord's sole discretion exercised in good faith).
21.20 AS-IS LEASE. Landlord makes no representations or
warranties concerning the condition, suitability or any other matters relating
to the Premises, and Tenant hereby acknowledges that Tenant leases the Premises
from Landlord on an "as is" basis.
21.21 NET LEASE. Except as otherwise provided in this
Lease, Tenant agrees that this Lease is an absolute net Lease, and the Base
Rent called for hereunder shall be paid as required net of all expenses
associated with the Premises, including without limitation, Real Estate Taxes
and insurance premiums for the insurance required to be carried hereunder, and
all other reasonable and customary costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in
connection with the Premises or this Lease, all of which shall be paid or
reimbursed by Tenant unless otherwise specifically provided herein. Tenant
agrees to reimburse Landlord, within ten (10) days following receipt of any
written demand therefor, for all fees, accrued but unpaid interest, late
charges, prepayment penalties, costs and expenses charged to Landlord or SGA by
UBS (or other holder of an Authorized Loan) pursuant to the terms and
conditions of the UBS Note or other Authorized Loan.
21.22 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Tenant and Landlord
each hereby represents and warrants to the other that: (i) such party is duly
organized and existing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is
formed, and is qualified to do business in the State of California; (ii) such
party has the full right and
45.
51
authority to enter into this Lease, consummate the sale, transfers and
assignments contemplated herein and otherwise perform its obligations under this
Lease; (iii) the person or persons signatory to this Lease and any document
executed pursuant hereto on behalf of such party have full power and authority

which such party may be a party.
