PREMISES, BUILDING, PROJECT, AND COMMON AREAS
PREMISES, BUILDING, PROJECT, AND COMMON AREAS
1.1Premises, Building, Project and Common Areas.
1.1.1The Premises. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the Premises. The parties hereto agree that the lease of the Premises is upon and subject to the terms, covenants and conditions herein set forth, and Tenant covenants as a material part of the consideration for this Lease to keep and perform each and all of such terms, covenants and conditions by it to be kept and performed and that this Lease is made upon the condition of such performance. Tenant shall accept the Premises and the Building in their "as-is" condition, and except as specifically set forth in Section 8.6 below, Landlord shall not be obligated to provide or pay for any improvement work or services related to the improvement of the Premises. Tenant also acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty regarding the condition of the Premises, the Building or the Project or with respect to the suitability of any of the foregoing for the conduct of Tenant's business, except as specifically set forth in this Lease. The taking of possession of the Premises by Tenant shall conclusively establish that the Premises and the Building were at such time in good and sanitary order, condition and repair. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the date of delivery of each Phase constituting the Premises, Landlord shall deliver such Phase (“Delivery Condition”) vacant, free and clear of any tenants, subtenants or other occupants, including, without limitation, the Existing Tenant and Existing Subtenant (as such terms are defined in Section 2.2 below).
1.1.2The Building and The Project. The Premises are a part of the Building. The Building is part of the Project. The "Project" means (i) the Building and the Common Areas, (ii) the land (which is improved with landscaping, above ground parking facilities and other improvements) upon which the Building and the Common Areas are located, and (iii) at Landlord's discretion, any additional real property, areas, land, buildings or other improvements added thereto outside of the Project.
1.1.3Common Areas. Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use in common with other tenants in the Project, and subject to the rules and regulations referred to in Article 5 of this Lease, those portions of the Project which are provided, from time to time, for use in common by Landlord, Tenant and any other tenants of the Project (such areas, together with such other portions of the Project designated by Landlord, in its discretion, including certain areas designated for the exclusive use of certain tenants, or to be shared by Landlord and certain tenants, are collectively referred to herein as the "Common Areas"). The Common Areas include, without limitation, an athletic facility to be available for use by Tenant's employees (the "Athletic Facility"), as well as baseball and soccer fields, a water front park, and a perimeter walking/biking trial, and such further portions of the Project or additional or different facilities as Landlord may from time to time designate or install or make available for the use by Tenant in common with others. The manner in which the Common Areas are maintained and operated shall be at the sole discretion of Landlord (provided that Landlord shall maintain the Common Areas in at least as good a condition as exists as of the date of this Lease) and the use thereof shall be subject to such rules, regulations and restrictions as Landlord may make from time to time; provided that rules, regulations and restrictions first affecting the Project after the date of this Lease shall not materially adversely affect Tenant’s possession, use or enjoyment of the Premises for the Permitted Use or materially adversely affect Tenant’s parking rights under this Lease. Landlord reserves the right to close temporarily, make alterations or additions to, or change the location of elements of the Project and the Common Areas, provided that Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any interference to the conduct of Tenant's business and Tenant’s parking rights under this Lease (subject to Article 28 below).
1.2Verification of Rentable Square Feet of Premises and Building. For purposes of this Lease, the "rentable square feet" of the Premises shall be deemed as set forth in Section 4.3 of the Summary and the rentable square feet of the Building shall be deemed as set forth in Section 4.1 of the Summary, and Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that the same shall not be subject to re-measurement or modification.
1.3Athletic Facility Memberships. During the Lease Term, Tenant and its employees shall have access to a number of memberships calculated by multiplying a fraction, the numerator of which is the total rentable square footage of all Phases delivered to Tenant at such time, and the denominator of which is the total rentable square footage within the Project (provided that in no event shall such denominator be greater than [***] for purposes of this calculation), by [***], which memberships shall entitle such members to the use of the Athletic Facility and all of the amenities thereof at no additional cost; provided, however, that Tenant acknowledges that the cost of operating and maintaining the Athletic Facility will be included in Operating Expenses. Without the consent of Landlord, Tenant may transfer memberships between itself and any of the Permitted Subtenants (as such term is defined in Section 14.9) to the extent and for so long as such Permitted Subtenant subleases space within the Premises.

ARTICLE 2
LEASE TERM
LEASE TERM
2.1Lease Term. The terms and provisions of this Lease shall be effective as of the date of this Lease. The "Lease Term" shall commence on the Phase 1 Lease Commencement Date and shall terminate on the Lease Expiration Date, unless this Lease is sooner terminated as hereinafter provided. Following the Lease Commencement Date for each Phase, upon request of Landlord, Tenant shall execute a commercially reasonable notice confirming the Lease Commencement Date and the Rent Commencement Date for such Phase, the cumulative Base Rent applicable to such Phase and all prior Phases that have been delivered to Tenant, and the Phase Abatement Period applicable to such Phase, the Lease Expiration Date, and any other matters reasonably requested by Landlord.
2.2Existing Tenant and Subtenants. Tenant acknowledges that the Premises is currently the subject of an existing lease (the “Existing Lease”) with an existing tenant (the “Existing Tenant”), and that the Existing Tenant has entered into multiple subleases for portions of the Premises (collectively, the “Existing Subleases”, and the subtenants thereunder, the “Existing Subtenants”). The Existing Lease and the Existing Subleases are scheduled to expire on or before December 31, 2021. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Existing Tenant and the Existing Subtenants to vacate and surrender the Premises to Landlord on or before December 31, 2021, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.2 and Section 2.3 and Section 2.4 below. If Landlord is delayed in delivering possession of the Premises to Tenant due to the holding over of the Existing Tenant or any Existing Subtenants or for any other reason beyond Landlord's reasonable control, then Landlord shall not be subject to any liability whatsoever to Tenant for such delay, and such failure shall not affect the validity of this Lease or the obligations of Tenant hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Existing Tenant and Existing Subtenant(s) affecting a Phase have not vacated and surrendered such Phase to Landlord on or before the applicable Lease Commencement Date for such Phase, then the Lease Commencement Date for such Phase shall be extended until the date that Landlord delivers such Phase to Tenant free and clear of the Existing Tenant and Existing Subtenant(s).
2.3Delivery of Phase 1. Notwithstanding the Existing Lease and Existing Sublease(s) affecting Xxxxx 0, Xxxxx 0 is currently vacant, and Tenant desires to occupy Phase 1 as soon as possible after the date of this Lease. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate the Existing Lease and Existing Sublease(s) affecting Phase 1 as soon as possible after the date of this Lease; provided, however, that Landlord shall have no obligation to incur any expenses in connection with the foregoing and Landlord shall have no obligation to commence or prosecute any unlawful detainer actions against the Existing Tenant and the Existing Subtenants, except as expressly set forth in this Section 2.3. If Landlord delivers Phase 1 to Tenant prior to January 1, 2022 free and clear of the Existing Tenant and Existing Subtenant(s) pursuant the foregoing, then the Phase 1 Lease Commencement Date shall be accelerated to be the date of such delivery.
In the event that the Phase 1 Lease Commencement Date has not occurred on or before June 30, 2022 (as such date shall be extended to the extent of any delays caused by Tenant or any of its agents, employees, contractors or invitees, or any delays caused by Force Majeure (provided that for purposes of this clause, the failure of the Existing Tenant or the Existing Subtenants to vacate and surrender Phase 1 shall not be deemed to be a Force Majeure), the "Outside Phase 1 Delivery Date"), then as Tenant's sole and exclusive remedy therefor, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to Landlord on or before the date that is thirty (30) days after the Outside Phase 1 Delivery Date (and such termination shall be effective as of the date that is thirty (30) days after Landlord's receipt of such notice) (the “Tenant Termination Right”); provided, however, that if Landlord delivers Phase 1 to Tenant free and clear of the Existing Tenant and the Existing Subtenants prior to the effective date of such termination, Tenant's election to terminate shall be deemed void and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect.
In the event that Landlord determines, in its commercially reasonable discretion, that it will be necessary to commence and prosecute any unlawful detainer actions against the Existing Tenant and the Existing Subtenants in order to achieve the Delivery Condition for Phase 1 (the “Unlawful Detainer Actions”), then Landlord shall provide written notice thereof to Tenant (the “Unlawful Detainer Intent Notice”). Tenant shall have a period of five (5) business days thereafter to elect to waive the Tenant Termination Right, and if Tenant fails to deliver such notice within such five (5) business day period, then Tenant shall be deemed to have waived the Tenant Termination Right. If Tenant elects (or is deemed to have elected) to waive the Tenant Termination Right, then Landlord shall commence and diligently prosecute to completion such the Unlawful Detainer Actions, and Tenant shall have no right to exercise the Tenant Termination Right. If Tenant elects not to waive the Tenant Termination Right, then Landlord shall have no obligation to commence or prosecute any Unlawful Detainer Actions.
The provisions of this Section shall apply to the delivery of Phase 1 only, and to no other Phases.

2.4Trigger for Phase Lease Commencement Date. If Tenant subleases all or a portion of a Phase to a subtenant prior to the applicable Lease Commencement Date for such Phase (including, without limitation, to any Permitted Subtenant pursuant to Section 14.9 below), then notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, the Lease Commencement Date for the entire Phase affected by such sublease (even if such sublease is only for a portion of such Phase) shall be deemed to commence upon the date the applicable sublease premises is delivered to such subtenant by Tenant pursuant to such sublease (provided any period of early entry afforded to such subtenant shall not be deemed to advance the commencement date thereunder). Further, if Tenant subleases all or a portion of a Phase to a subtenant prior to the expiration of the applicable Phase Abatement Period for such Phase (including, without limitation, to any Permitted Subtenant pursuant to Section 14.9 below), then for purposes of calculating the Transfer Premium (as defined in Section 14.3 below), during the period from the date such subtenant commences to pay rent until the expiration of the applicable Phase Abatement Period for such Phase, Base Rent for such Phase shall be deemed to be equal to the initial Base Rent applicable to such Phase (notwithstanding that such Base Rent is not yet due and payable under this Lease).
2.5Option Term.
2.5.1Option Right. Landlord hereby grants the Tenant named in this Lease (the "Original Tenant"), one (1) option to extend the Lease Term for a period of five (5) years (the "Option Term"), which option shall be exercisable only by written notice delivered by Tenant to Landlord as provided below, provided that, as of the date of delivery of such notice, Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond the applicable notice and cure period provided in this Lease and Tenant has not previously been in default beyond the applicable notice and cure period provided in this Lease more than once. Upon the proper exercise of such option to extend, and provided that, at Landlord's option, as of the date immediately preceding the Option Term, Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond the applicable notice and cure period provided in this Lease and Tenant has not previously been in default beyond the applicable notice and cure period provided in this Lease more than once, the Lease Term, as it applies to the Premises, shall be extended for the Option Term (except that Tenant shall have no further right to extend the Lease Term). The rights contained in this Section 2.5 shall be personal to the Original Tenant and may only be exercised by the Original Tenant or any Permitted Assignee (as defined in Section 14.8 below) (but not any other assignee, sublessee or other transferee of Tenant's interest in this Lease) if the Original Tenant and/or Permitted Subtenants collectively occupy at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the entire Premises.
2.5.2Option Rent. The rent payable by Tenant during the Option Term (the "Option Rent") shall be equal to the fair market rent (including additional rent and considering any "base year" or "expense stop" applicable thereto), including all escalations, at which renewal tenants, as of the commencement of the Option Term, are leasing non-sublease, non-encumbered, non-equity space comparable in size, location and quality to the Premises for a term equal to such Option Term, which comparable space is located in first-class office buildings of comparable age and quality in the Project or the vicinity of the Project ("Comparable Transactions"), taking into consideration only the following concessions: (a) rental abatement concessions, if any, being granted such tenants in connection with such comparable space, and (b) tenant improvements or allowances provided or to be provided for such comparable space, taking into account, and deducting the value of, the existing improvements in the Premises, such value to be based upon the age, quality and layout of the improvements and the extent to which the same could be utilized by Tenant based upon the fact that the precise tenant improvements existing in the Premises are specifically suitable to Tenant. [***] The Option Rent shall additionally include a commercially reasonable determination as to whether, and if so to what extent, Tenant must provide Landlord with financial security, such as a security deposit, letter of credit or guaranty, for Tenant's Rent obligations during the Option Term. Such determination shall be made by reviewing the extent of financial security then generally being imposed in Comparable Transactions from tenants of comparable financial condition and credit history to the then existing financial condition and credit history of Tenant (with appropriate adjustments to account for differences in the then-existing financial condition of Tenant and such other tenants).
2.5.3Exercise of Option. The option contained in this Section 2.5 shall be exercised by Tenant, if at all, and only in the following manner: (i) Tenant shall deliver written notice to Landlord not more than seventeen (17) months nor less than fifteen (15) months prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term, irrevocably exercising its option for the entire Premises then being leased by Tenant; and (ii) Landlord, after receipt of Tenant's notice, shall deliver notice (the "Option Rent Notice") to Tenant not less than thirteen (13) months prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term, setting forth the Option Rent; provided that, within fifteen (15) business days after the date of the Option Rent Notice, Tenant may, at its option, object to the Option Rent contained in the Option Rent Notice, in which case the parties shall follow the procedure, and the Option Rent shall be determined, as set forth in Section 2.5.4 below.
2.5.4Determination of Option Rent. In the event Tenant timely and appropriately objects to the Option Rent, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon the Option Rent using reasonable, good-faith efforts. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement within thirty (30) days following Tenant's timely and
-10- |
appropriate objection to the Option Rent (the "Outside Agreement Date"), then each party shall make a separate determination of the Option Rent within ten (10) business days after the Outside Agreement Date, and such determinations shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with Sections 2.5.4.1 through 2.5.4.7 below.
2.5.4.1Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one arbitrator who shall by profession be a real estate appraiser who shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the appraisal of commercial properties in the city in which the Premises is located, provided the arbitrator selected by Landlord shall not have worked for or provided arbitration or appraisal services to Landlord or any affiliates of Landlord during the prior three (3) year period and the arbitrator selected by Tenant shall not have worked for or provided arbitration or appraisal services to Tenant or affiliates of Tenant during the prior three (3) year period. The determination of the arbitrators shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord's or Tenant's submitted Option Rent is the closest to the actual Option Rent as determined by the arbitrators, taking into account only the requirements of Section 2.5 of this Lease (i.e., the arbitrators may only select Landlord's or Tenant's determination and shall not be entitled to make a compromise determination). Each such arbitrator shall be appointed within fifteen (15) business days after the Outside Agreement Date.
2.5.4.2The two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall within ten (10) business days of the appointment of the last appointed arbitrator agree upon and appoint a third (3rd) arbitrator who shall be qualified under the same criteria set forth hereinabove for qualification of the initial two (2) arbitrators.
2.5.4.3The three (3) arbitrators shall within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the third (3rd) arbitrator reach a decision as to whether the parties shall use Landlord's or Tenant's submitted Option Rent, and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof.
2.5.4.4The decision of the majority of the three (3) arbitrators shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.
2.5.4.5If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an arbitrator within fifteen (15) business days after the Outside Agreement Date, then the arbitrator appointed by one of them shall reach a decision, notify Landlord and Tenant thereof, and such arbitrator's decision shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.
2.5.4.6If the two (2) arbitrators fail to agree upon and appoint a third (3rd) arbitrator, or both parties fail to appoint an arbitrator, then the appointment of the third (3rd) or any arbitrator shall be dismissed and the matter to be decided shall be forthwith submitted to arbitration under the provisions of the American Arbitration Association, but subject to the instructions set forth in this Section 2.2.5.
2.5.4.7The cost of arbitration shall be split evenly between the parties.

Refunds of Tax Expenses shall be credited against Tax Expenses and refunded to Tenant regardless of when received, based on the Expense Year to which the refund is applicable, provided that in no event shall the amount to be refunded to Tenant for any such Expense Year exceed the total amount paid by Tenant as Tax Expenses under this Article 4 for such Expense Year. If Tax Expenses for any period during the Lease Term or any extension thereof are increased after payment thereof for any reason, including, without limitation, error or reassessment by applicable governmental or municipal authorities, Tenant shall pay Landlord upon demand Tenant's Share of any such increased Tax Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, only Landlord may institute proceedings to reduce Tax Expenses and the filing of any such proceeding by Tenant without Landlord's consent shall constitute an event of default by Tenant under this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be obligated to file any application or institute any proceeding seeking a reduction in Tax Expenses.
4.2.5.4Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.2.5 (except as set forth in Section 4.2.5.2 above), there shall be excluded from Tax Expenses (i) all excess profits taxes, franchise taxes, gift taxes, capital stock taxes, inheritance and succession taxes, estate taxes, federal and state income taxes, and other taxes to the extent applicable to Landlord's general or net income (as opposed to rents, receipts or income attributable to operations at the Project), (ii) any items included as Operating Expenses, (iii) any items paid by Tenant under Section 4.5 of this Lease, and (iv) interest, penalties or other costs arising out of Landlord’s failure to make timely payment of any of its obligations under this Lease, including, without limitation, Landlord’s failure to make timely payment of any taxes to taxing authorities, unless such failure is caused by Tenant failing to pay any Rent when due under this Lease.
4.3Allocation of Direct Expenses.
4.3.1Method of Allocation. The parties acknowledge that the Building is a part of a multi-building project and that the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Project (i.e., the Direct Expenses) should be shared between the tenants of the Building and the tenants of the other buildings in the Project. Accordingly, as set forth in Section 4.2 above, Direct Expenses (which consists of Operating Expenses and Tax
-16- |
Expenses) are determined annually for the Project as a whole, and a portion of the Direct Expenses, which portion shall be determined by Landlord on an equitable basis, shall be allocated to the Building (as opposed to any other buildings in the Project) and such portion shall be the Direct Expenses for purposes of this Lease. Such portion of Direct Expenses allocated to the Building shall include all Direct Expenses attributable solely to the Building and an equitable portion of the Direct Expenses attributable to the Project as a whole.
4.3.2Cost Pools. Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, to equitably allocate some or all of the Direct Expenses for the Project among different portions or occupants of the Project (the "Cost Pools"), in Landlord's reasonable discretion. Such Cost Pools may include, but shall not be limited to, the office space tenants of a building of the Project or of the Project, and the retail space tenants of a building of the Project or of the Project. The Direct Expenses within each such Cost Pool shall be allocated and charged to the tenants within such Cost Pool in an equitable manner.
4.4Calculation and Payment of Additional Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in the manner set forth in Section 4.4.1, below, and as Additional Rent, an amount equal to Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses.
4.4.1Statement of Actual Direct Expenses and Payment by Tenant. Landlord shall endeavor to give to Tenant following the end of each Expense Year, a statement (the "Statement") which shall state the Direct Expenses incurred or accrued for such preceding Expense Year, and which shall indicate the amount of Tenant's Share of Direct Expenses. Upon receipt of the Statement for each Expense Year commencing or ending during the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Base Rent due, the full amount of Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses for such Expense Year, less the amounts, if any, paid during such Expense Year as "Estimated Direct Expenses," as that term is defined in Section 4.4.2, below, and if Tenant paid more as Estimated Direct Expenses than the actual Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses, Tenant shall receive a credit in the amount of Tenant's overpayment against Rent next due under this Lease. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Statement for any Expense Year shall not prejudice Landlord or Tenant from enforcing its rights under this Article 4. Even though the Lease Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant's Share of Direct Expenses for the Expense Year in which this Lease terminates, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses, and if Tenant paid more as Estimated Direct Expenses than the actual Tenant's Share of Direct Expenses, Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days, deliver a check payable to Tenant in the amount of the overpayment. The provisions of this Section 4.4.1 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.
4.4.2Statement of Estimated Direct Expenses. In addition, Landlord shall endeavor to give Tenant a yearly expense estimate statement by April 1st of each year (the "Estimate Statement") which shall set forth Landlord's reasonable estimate (the "Estimate") of what the total amount of Direct Expenses for the then-current Expense Year shall be and the estimated Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses (the "Estimated Direct Expenses"). The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Estimate Statement for any Expense Year shall not preclude Landlord from enforcing its rights to collect any Estimated Direct Expenses under this Article 4, nor shall Landlord be prohibited from revising any Estimate Statement or Estimated Direct Expenses theretofore delivered to the extent necessary. Thereafter, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Base Rent due, a fraction of the Estimated Direct Expenses for the then-current Expense Year (reduced by any amounts paid pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 4.4.2). Such fraction shall have as its numerator the number of months which have elapsed in such current Expense Year, including the month of such payment, and twelve (12) as its denominator. Until a new Estimate Statement is furnished (which Landlord shall have the right to deliver to Tenant at any time), Tenant shall pay monthly, with the monthly Base Rent installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the total Estimated Direct Expenses set forth in the previous Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant.
4.5Taxes and Other Charges for Which Tenant Is Directly Responsible.
4.5.1Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay before delinquency, taxes levied against Tenant's equipment, furniture, fixtures and any other personal property located in or about the Premises. If any such taxes on Tenant's equipment, furniture, fixtures and any other personal property are levied against Landlord or Landlord's property or if the assessed value of Landlord's property is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon such equipment, furniture, fixtures or any other personal property and if Landlord pays the taxes based upon such increased assessment, which Landlord shall have the right to do regardless of the validity thereof but only under proper protest if requested by Tenant, Tenant shall upon demand repay to Landlord the taxes so levied against Landlord or the proportion of such taxes resulting from such increase in the assessment, as the case may be.
4.5.2If the tenant improvements in the Premises, whether installed and/or paid for by Landlord or Tenant and whether or not affixed to the real property so as to become a part thereof, are assessed for real property tax purposes at a valuation higher than the valuation at which tenant improvements conforming to Landlord's "building standard" in other space in the Building are assessed, then the taxes levied against Landlord or
-17- |
the property by reason of such excess assessed valuation shall be deemed to be taxes levied against personal property of Tenant and shall be governed by the provisions of Section 4.2.1, above.
4.5.3Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency as Additional Rent (and not as part of Direct Expenses) any (i) rent tax or sales tax, gross receipts tax, service tax, transfer tax or value added tax, or any other applicable tax on the rent or services herein or otherwise respecting this Lease, (ii) taxes assessed upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion of the Project, including the Project parking facility(ies) and taxes or assessments due to any type of ballot measure, including an initiative adopted by the voters or local agency, or a state proposition approved by the voters; or (iii) taxes assessed upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises.
4.6 Landlord's Records. Upon Tenant's written request given not more than ninety (90) days after Tenant's receipt of a Statement for a particular Expense Year, and provided that Tenant is not then in default under this Lease beyond the applicable notice and cure period provided in this Lease, specifically including, but not limited to, the timely payment of Additional Rent (whether or not the same is the subject of the audit contemplated herein), Landlord shall furnish Tenant with such reasonable supporting documentation in connection with said Direct Expenses as Tenant may reasonably request. Landlord shall provide said documentation to Tenant within sixty (60) days after Tenant's written request therefor. Within one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt of a Statement by Tenant (the "Audit Period"), if Tenant disputes the amount of Direct Expenses set forth in the Statement, an independent certified public accountant (which accountant (A) is a member of a nationally or regionally recognized certified public accounting firm which has previous experience in auditing financial operating records of landlords of office buildings, (B) shall not already be providing primary accounting and/or lease administration services to Tenant and shall not have provided primary accounting and/or lease administration services to Tenant in the past three (3) years, (C) is not working on a contingency fee basis (i.e., Tenant must be billed based on the actual time and materials that are incurred by the certified public accounting firm in the performance of the audit), and (D) shall not, to the actual then current knowledge of Tenant, then currently be providing accounting and/or lease administration services to another tenant in the Building and/or the Project in connection with a review or audit by such other tenant of Direct Expenses (it being understood that Tenant shall have no independent duty of inquiry to identify any parties then providing such accounting and/or lease administration services to such other tenants)), designated and paid for by Tenant, may, after reasonable notice to Landlord and at reasonable times, audit Landlord's records with respect to the Statement at Landlord's corporate offices, provided that (i) Tenant is not then in default under this Lease (beyond the applicable notice and cure periods provided under this Lease), (ii) Tenant has paid all amounts required to be paid under the applicable Estimate Statement and Statement, and (iii) a copy of the audit agreement between Tenant and its particular certified public accounting firm has been delivered to Landlord prior to the commencement of the audit, provided that Tenant may redact any confidential or proprietary information from such agreement before delivering it to Landlord. In connection with such audit, Tenant and Tenant's certified public accounting firm must agree in advance to follow Landlord's reasonable rules and procedures regarding an audit of the aforementioned Landlord records, and shall execute a commercially reasonable confidentiality agreement regarding such audit. Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any audit report prepared by Tenant's certified public accounting firm (“Tenant’s Accountant”) to be delivered substantially concurrently to Landlord and Tenant within the Audit Period. Tenant's failure to audit the amount of Direct Expenses set forth in any Statement within the Audit Period shall be deemed to be Tenant's approval of such Statement and Tenant, thereafter, waives the right or ability to audit the amounts set forth in such Statement. If after such audit, Tenant still disputes such Direct Expenses, an audit to determine the proper amount shall be made, at Tenant's expense, by an independent certified public accountant (the "Accountant") selected by Landlord and subject to Tenant's reasonable approval; provided that if such audit by the Accountant proves that Direct Expenses set forth in the particular Statement were overstated by more than [***], then the commercially reasonable cost of the Accountant in connection with such audit shall be paid for by Landlord and Tenant shall be reimbursed for the commercially reasonable fees cost of the Tenant Accountant. If the audit and review process described above results in a determination that Tenant has overpaid obligations for a preceding period, the amount of such overpayment (plus interest at the Interest Rate) shall be credited against Tenant’s subsequent installment obligations to pay Additional Rent or, if this Lease has terminated or expired, paid in lawful money to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the determination of overpayment is delivered to Landlord. In the event that such results show that Tenant has underpaid its obligations for a preceding period, the amount of such underpayment (plus interest at the Interest Rate) shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord with the next succeeding installment obligation of Additional Rent or, if this Lease has terminated or expired, in lawful money within thirty (30) days after the determination of underpayment is delivered to Tenant. Tenant hereby acknowledges that Tenant's sole right to audit Landlord's records and to contest the amount of Direct Expenses payable by Tenant shall be as set forth in this Section 4.6, and Tenant hereby waives any and all other rights pursuant to applicable law to audit such records and/or to contest the amount of Direct Expenses payable by Tenant.

interruption or cessation of utilities resulting from any causes, including any entry for repairs pursuant to this Lease, and any renovation, redecoration or rehabilitation of any area of the Project, shall not render Landlord liable for damages to either person or property or for interruption or loss to Tenant's business, nor be construed as an eviction of Tenant, nor work an abatement of any portion of Rent, nor relieve Tenant from fulfillment of any covenant or agreement hereof; provided that, to the extent the cause is the failure of Landlord to observe or perform an obligation of Landlord hereunder and such failure materially adversely affects Tenant’s possession, use or enjoyment of the Premises for the Permitted Use or materially adversely affects Tenant’s parking rights under this Lease, then Landlord shall initiate the cure of such failure, to the extent reasonably possible, promptly after receipt from Tenant of notice of the failure and Landlord, to the extent possible, shall thereafter diligently prosecute said cure to completion.
Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may be required in the future to disclose information concerning Tenant's energy usage to certain third parties, including, without limitation, prospective purchasers, lenders and tenants of the Building ("Tenant Energy Use Disclosure"). Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with Landlord with respect to any Tenant Energy Use Disclosure. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days following request from Landlord, disclose to Landlord all non-proprietary, non-confidential information reasonably requested by Landlord in connection with such Tenant Energy Use Disclosure, including, but not limited to, the amount of power or other utilities consumed within the Premises for which the meters for such utilities are in Tenant's name, the number of employees working within the Premises, the operating hours for Tenant's business in the Premises, and the type and number of equipment operated by Tenant in the Premises. Tenant acknowledges that this information shall be provided on a non-confidential basis and may be provided by Landlord to the applicable utility providers, the California Energy Commission (and other governmental entities having jurisdiction), and any third parties to whom Landlord is required to make any Tenant Energy Use Disclosure. Tenant hereby (A) consents to all such Tenant Energy Use Disclosures, and (B) acknowledges that Landlord shall not be required to notify Tenant of any Tenant Energy Use Disclosure. Tenant agrees that none of the "Landlord Parties," as that term is defined in Section 10.1, below, shall be liable for, and Tenant hereby releases the Landlord Parties from, any and all loss, cost, damage, expense and liability relating to, arising out of and/or resulting from any Tenant Energy Use Disclosure. In addition, Tenant represents to Landlord that any and all information provided by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this paragraph shall be, to the best of Tenant's knowledge, true and correct in all material respects, and Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall rely on such information. The terms of this paragraph shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
6.2Rooftop. Tenant shall have the right to install equipment including, without limitation, cable, wiring, rooftop antennae, and other equipment associated with Tenant's use of the Premises on the roof of the Building (the "Rooftop Equipment") and in the pathways, shafts, risers, raceways, telephone closets, service areas and utility connections and entries into and through the Building to serve Tenant's needs within the Building. Any such installation shall be performed at Tenant's sole cost and expense, pursuant to the terms and conditions of Article 8 of this Lease, and in compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances, regulations and requirements. Tenant shall keep all such Rooftop Equipment in good order, condition and repair, at Tenant's sole cost and expense. Tenant's installation of the Rooftop Equipment shall be done in such a manner as not to void any existing roof warranty in place at the Building (and Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless in the event any such warranty is voided as a result of the installation of any Rooftop Equipment by Tenant for any costs and losses incurred by Landlord to the extent such costs or losses are attributable to the voiding of such warranty). Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, be responsible to repair any damage to the Building, including the roof and roof membrane, caused by the installation of any Rooftop Equipment. At the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove any Rooftop Equipment installed by or on behalf of Tenant and repair any damage to the roof or roof membrane caused by the installation or removal of the Rooftop Equipment by Tenant.
6.3Telecommunications Services. Tenant shall arrange for telephone, data transaction, video and other telecommunication services ("Telecommunication Services") directly with one or more of Telecommunications Services providers and shall be solely responsible for paying for such Telecommunications Services. All connections for Telecommunications Services which Tenant may desire and the location of all wires and fibers shall be first approved in writing by Landlord (such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before the same are installed, and the work in connection therewith shall be performed by contractors approved by Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Landlord shall have the right, upon reasonable prior notice to Tenant, to temporarily interrupt or turn off such Telecommunications Services (i) in the event of emergency, (ii) as necessary in connection with maintenance, repairs or construction at the Project, provided that Tenant shall receive reasonable prior written notice thereof and Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any interference to the conduct of Tenant's business, or (iii) on account of violation by the Tenant's provider of any obligation to Landlord.

7.2Landlord's Obligations.
7.2.1Landlord Repair Obligations. Subject to the provisions of Article 11 and Article 13 hereof, Landlord agrees to maintain, repair and replace as required, in good condition (but in at least as good a condition as exists as of the date of this Lease) (the "Landlord Repair Obligations") (a) at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, only the structural portions of the roof (specifically excluding the roof membrane or coverings) and the foundation of the Building, and (b) as part of Operating Expenses, (i) exterior glass and windows (including skylights), (ii) the non-structural portions of the roof of the Building, including the roof membrane (including, without limitation, all costs incurred under any third party service contract for the maintenance, repair and replacement of the roof), and (iii) the routine maintenance of the load bearing and exterior walls of the Building, including, without limitation, any painting, sealing, patching and waterproofing of such walls. Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 7.2.1 to the contrary, any damage to the portions of the Building that Landlord is required to repair under this Section 7.2.1 to the extent arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or by other persons claiming through Tenant shall be repaired by Landlord, and Tenant shall pay Landlord the cost thereof, including any actual out-of-pocket costs or expenses arising from Landlord's involvement with such repairs and replacements and Landlord's reasonable supervision fee [***], within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice therefor. Subject to the other terms and conditions herein, including, without limitation, Article 27 hereof, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, enter the Premises upon prior notice to Tenant, to make such repairs, alterations, improvements or additions to the Premises or to any equipment located in the Premises as Landlord shall desire or deem necessary or as Landlord may be required to do by governmental or quasi-governmental authority or court order or decree.

ARTICLE 8
ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS
ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS
8.1Landlord's Consent to Alterations. Tenant may not make any improvements, alterations, additions or changes to the Premises, the Building or any mechanical, plumbing or HVAC facilities or systems pertaining to the Premises or the Building (collectively, the "Alterations") without first procuring the prior written
-23- |
consent of Landlord to such Alterations, which consent shall be requested by Tenant not less than thirty (30) days prior to the commencement thereof, and which consent shall be granted or denied within thirty (30) days after such written request and shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Landlord, provided it shall be deemed reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to any Alteration which adversely affects the Base Building or is visible from the exterior of the Building (a “Major Alteration”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be permitted to make Alterations (including removal and rearrangement of Alterations) following ten (10) business days' notice to Landlord, but without Landlord's prior consent, which (a) are not Major Alterations, (ii) do not require a building permit, and (iii) are reasonably estimated (together with any other Alterations performed without Landlord’s consent pursuant to this sentence during the 12-month period ending on the date of such notice) to cost less than $[***] (“Permitted Alterations”). Tenant may, at the time Tenant requests Landlord's consent to any Alterations pursuant to this Article 8, or prior to the commencement of any Permitted Alterations, request that Landlord indicate if Landlord shall require Tenant to remove such Alterations at the end of the Lease Term (and Landlord's failure to respond to such request shall be deemed Landlord's election to require such removal). If Landlord responds to such request and indicates in writing that any such Alterations do not need to be removed at the end of the Lease Term, such Alterations shall be referred to herein as the "Non-Removable Alterations". The term Alterations as used herein shall expressly include the installation of one or more quick charge stations for electric vehicles in the Building Parking Area (as defined in Article 28 below).
8.2Manner of Construction. Landlord may impose, as a condition of its consent to any and all Alterations or repairs of the Premises or about the Premises, such requirements as Landlord in its reasonable discretion may deem desirable, including, but not limited to, the requirement that Tenant utilize for such purposes only contractors, subcontractors, materials, mechanics and materialmen selected by Tenant from a list provided and approved by Landlord, the requirement that upon Landlord's request, Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, remove such Alterations upon the expiration or any early termination of the Lease Term. Landlord may also require, as a condition to its consent to any Alterations, that any architect retained by Tenant in connection with such Alterations be a "CASp," as that term is defined in Article 24 below, and that following the completion of such Alterations, such architect shall certify the Premises as meeting all applicable construction-related accessibility standards pursuant to California Civil Code Section 55.53. Tenant shall construct such Alterations and perform such repairs in a good and workmanlike manner, in conformance with any and all applicable federal, state, county or municipal laws, rules and regulations and pursuant to a valid building permit, issued by the city in which the Building is located all in conformance with Landlord's construction rules and regulations; provided, however, that prior to commencing to construct any Alteration, Tenant shall meet with Landlord to discuss Landlord's design parameters and code compliance issues. In the event Tenant performs any Alterations in the Premises which require or give rise to governmentally required changes to the "Base Building," as that term is defined below, then Landlord shall, at Tenant's expense, make such changes to the Base Building. The "Base Building" shall include the structural portions of the Building, Building foundations, the public restrooms, elevators, exit stairwells and the Building Systems. In performing the work of any such Alterations, Tenant shall have the work performed in such manner so as not to obstruct access to the Project or any portion thereof, by any other tenant of the Project, and so as not to obstruct the business of Landlord or other tenants in the Project. Tenant shall not use (and upon notice from Landlord shall cease using) contractors, services, workmen, labor, materials or equipment that, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, would disturb labor harmony with the workforce or trades engaged in performing other work, labor or services in or about the Building or the Common Areas. In addition to Tenant's obligations under Article 9 of this Lease, upon completion of any Alterations, Tenant agrees to cause a Notice of Completion to be recorded in the office of the recorder of the county in which the Building is located in accordance with Section 8182 of the California Civil Code or any successor statute and furnish a copy thereof to Landlord upon recordation, and Tenant shall deliver to the Project construction manager a reproducible copy of the "as built" drawings of the Alterations as well as all permits, approvals and other documents issued by any governmental agency in connection with the Alterations.
8.3Payment for Improvements. If payment is made by Tenant directly to contractors, Tenant shall (i) comply with Landlord's requirements for final lien releases and waivers in connection with Tenant's payment for work to contractors, and (ii) sign Landlord's standard commercially reasonable contractor's rules and regulations, provided, with respect to any Alterations, Landlord shall have furnished such rules and regulations to Tenant concurrently with its written consent to the making of such Alterations or prior thereto. Whether or not Tenant orders any work directly from Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to Landlord's then current standard fee to compensate Landlord for all overhead, general conditions, fees and other costs and expenses arising in connection with any Alterations ([***] subject to Section 8.6 below with respect to the Phase Work) (the “Supervision Fee”). In addition, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord's reasonable, actual, out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred in connection with Landlord's review of any Alterations. At Landlord's option, prior to the commencement of construction of any Alteration, Tenant shall provide Landlord with the reasonably anticipated cost thereof, which Landlord shall disburse during construction pursuant to Landlord's standard, commercially reasonable disbursement procedure.
-24- |
8.4Construction Insurance. In addition to the requirements of Article 10 of this Lease, in the event that Tenant makes any Alterations, prior to the commencement of such Alterations, Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence that Tenant carries "Builder's All Risk" insurance in an amount reasonably approved by Landlord covering the construction of such Alterations, and such other insurance as Landlord may reasonably require, it being understood and agreed that all of such Alterations shall be insured by Tenant pursuant to Article 10 of this Lease immediately upon completion thereof. In addition, Landlord may, in its commercially reasonable discretion, require Tenant to obtain a lien and completion bond or some alternate form of security satisfactory to Landlord in an amount sufficient to ensure the lien-free completion of such Alterations and naming Landlord as a co-obligee, provided that no such bond or security shall be required in connection with the Phase Work.
8.5Landlord's Property. All Alterations, improvements, fixtures, equipment and/or appurtenances which may be installed or placed in or about the Premises, from time to time, shall be at the sole cost of Tenant and, except as otherwise expressly set forth hereinbelow, shall be and become the property of Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing and absent any written notice from Landlord to the contrary, prior to the end of the Lease Term or any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant, at Tenant's expense, shall remove any Alterations and/or improvements and/or systems and equipment within the Premises made by or for Tenant that are not normal and customary general office improvements (excluding any Non-Removable Alterations), and shall repair any damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal and return the affected portion of the Premises to a building standard tenant improved condition as reasonably determined by Landlord; provided, however, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant prior to the end of the Lease Term, notify Tenant that some or all of such Alterations and/or improvements and/or systems and equipment shall remain within the Premises, in which event Tenant shall have no obligation or right to remove the same. If Tenant fails to complete such removal and/or to repair any damage caused by the removal of any such Alterations and/or improvements and/or systems and equipment in the Premises and return the affected portion of the Premises to a building standard tenant improved condition as reasonably determined by Landlord, (i) Landlord may do so and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the actual out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord therefor, plus Landlord's reasonable supervision fee ([***]), and (ii) Tenant shall be deemed to be in holdover until such time as the removal and restoration is completed (and, accordingly, the terms of Article 16 of this Lease shall be applicable during such period). Tenant hereby protects, defends, indemnifies and holds Landlord harmless from any liability, cost, obligation, expense or claim of lien in any manner relating to the installation, placement, removal or financing of any such Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment in, on or about the Premises, which obligations of Tenant shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. At any time and from time to time, Tenant may remove from the Premises any of its property, including trade fixtures and movable furniture, inventory and equipment not attached to the Building provided Tenant promptly repairs all damage caused by such removal.
8.6Tenant Improvement Allowance. Commencing on the applicable Lease Commencement Date for a Phase, Tenant may perform tenant improvement work in such Phase in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Article 8 (as applicable, the "Phase Work"). The Phase Work shall be deemed to be an "Alteration" for all purposes of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall be entitled to the Tenant Improvement Allowance set forth in Section 13 of the Summary for such Phase (as applicable, the "Tenant Improvement Allowance") toward the actual out-of-pocket costs of the applicable Phase Work. The Tenant Improvement Allowance shall only be used by Tenant to pay for the hard costs of the applicable Phase Work, the architectural, engineering and permitting costs related to the applicable Phase Work, and all costs payable to Landlord as set forth in Section 8.3 above with respect to the applicable Phase Work ([***]). In no event shall the Tenant Improvement Allowance be used to pay for any costs in connection with Tenant's moving expenses, for any furniture, fixtures, equipment or any other items of personal property, or for any costs associated with a sublease of any portion of the Premises. Provided Tenant is not in default under the terms of this Lease (beyond any applicable notice and cure periods), Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the allowable costs (up to the applicable Tenant Improvement Allowance) by the date (the "Disbursement Deadline") that is forty-five (45) days following (i) completion of the applicable Phase Work, as evidenced by a certification of completion from the project engineer or architect, (ii) Landlord's receipt of Tenant's invoice of the costs related thereto, together with invoices, receipts and bills substantiating such costs and evidence of payment by Tenant for all such costs by Tenant, (iii) Landlord's receipt of final unconditional lien waivers in a form acceptable to Landlord from all contractors and subcontractors who did work on the applicable Phase Work, (iv) Landlord's receipt of a copy of the final permits approved by the applicable governing authority to the extent required for the applicable Phase Work, and (v) Landlord's receipt of all documentation required for the applicable Phase Work pursuant to this Article 8. In no event shall the Disbursement Deadline occur prior to the applicable Rent Commencement Date. Landlord shall be under no obligation to pay for any of the Phase Work in excess of the applicable Tenant Improvement Allowance, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any unused portion of the applicable Tenant Improvement Allowance upon completion of the applicable Phase Work, except as expressly set forth below. The applicable Tenant Improvement Allowance shall only be available for Tenant's use from the applicable Rent Commencement Date for a Phase through the date that is eighteen (18) months thereafter (as applicable, the "Allowance Deadline"), and Tenant waives any and all rights to any unused portion of the applicable Tenant Improvement Allowance if Tenant has not completed the applicable Phase Work and satisfied all other conditions to payment by the Allowance Deadline. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is
-25- |
any unused portion of the applicable Tenant Improvement Allowance remaining upon completion of the applicable Phase Work, and the applicable Allowance Deadline has not occurred with respect to such remainder, then such remainder may be applicable to the next Phase delivered to Tenant pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Lease. Additionally, if Tenant has utilized all of the Tenant Improvement Allowance for any Phase Work for a prior Phase, and the total cost of such Phase Work exceeds the applicable Tenant Improvement Allowance (the “Excess Prior Work Costs”), then the Tenant Improvement Allowance for any later Phase may also be used by Tenant to pay for the Excess Prior Work Costs.
ARTICLE 9
COVENANT AGAINST LIENS
COVENANT AGAINST LIENS
Tenant shall keep the Project and Premises free from any liens or encumbrances arising out of the work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or on behalf of Tenant, and shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, judgments or costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) arising out of same or in connection therewith. Tenant shall give Landlord notice at least ten (10) business days prior to the commencement of any such work on the Premises (or such additional time as may be necessary under applicable laws) to afford Landlord the opportunity of posting and recording appropriate notices of non-responsibility. Tenant shall remove any such lien or encumbrance by bond or otherwise within ten (10) business days after notice by Landlord, and if Tenant shall fail to do so, Landlord may pay the amount necessary to remove such lien or encumbrance, without being responsible for investigating the validity thereof. The amount so paid shall be deemed Additional Rent under this Lease payable upon demand, without limitation as to other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease. Nothing contained in this Lease shall authorize Tenant to do any act which shall subject Landlord's title to the Building or Premises to any liens or encumbrances whether claimed by operation of law or express or implied contract. Any claim to a lien or encumbrance upon the Building or Premises arising in connection with any such work or respecting the Premises not performed by or at the request of Landlord shall be null and void, or at Landlord's option shall attach only against Tenant's interest in the Premises and shall in all respects be subordinate to Landlord's title to the Project, Building and Premises.

Should Landlord be named as a defendant in any suit brought against Tenant in connection with or arising out of Tenant's occupancy of the Premises, Tenant shall pay to Landlord its costs and expenses incurred in such suit, including without limitation, its actual professional fees such as reasonable appraisers', accountants' and attorneys' fees. The provisions of this Section 10.1 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease with respect to any claims or liability arising in connection with any event occurring prior to such expiration or termination.
10.2Landlord's Insurance. Landlord shall maintain “All Risk" Property Insurance covering the Base Building. Such insurance shall be for the full replacement cost and shall include such coverages, from such companies, and on such other terms and conditions, as Landlord may from time to time reasonably determine. At the option of Landlord (in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion), such insurance coverage may include the risks of
-26- |
earthquakes, terrorism and/or flood damage. Landlord shall also carry commercially reasonable commercial general liability insurance and such other coverages as Landlord may from time to time reasonably determine. Landlord may elect to self-insure one or more of the foregoing coverages.
10.3Tenant's Insurance. Tenant shall maintain the following coverages in the following amounts.
10.3.1Commercial general liability insurance covering the insured against claims of bodily injury, personal injury and property damage (including loss of use thereof) arising out of Tenant's operations, and contractual liabilities (covering the performance by Tenant of its indemnity agreements) including a Broad Form endorsement covering the insuring provisions of this Lease and the performance by Tenant of the indemnity agreements set forth in Section 10.1 of this Lease, for limits of liability not less than:
10.3.1.1
Bodily Injury and Property Damage Liability | $5,000,000 each occurrence $5,000,000 annual aggregate | ||||
Personal Injury Liability | $5,000,000 each occurrence $5,000,000 annual aggregate with no deductible |
10.3.2"All Risk" Property Insurance covering (i) all office furniture, business and trade fixtures, office equipment, free-standing cabinet work, movable partitions, merchandise and all other items of Tenant's property on the Premises installed by, for, or at the expense of Tenant, (ii) any improvements which exist in a Phase as of the applicable Lease Commencement Date (excluding the Base Building) (the "Original Improvements"), and (iii) all other improvements, alterations and additions to the Premises made for or on behalf of Tenant. Such insurance shall be for the full replacement cost (subject to reasonable deductible amounts) new without deduction for depreciation of the covered items and in amounts that meet any co-insurance clauses of the policies of insurance and shall include coverage for damage or other loss caused by fire or other peril including, but not limited to, vandalism and malicious mischief, theft, water damage of any type, including sprinkler leakage, bursting or stoppage of pipes, and explosion, and providing business interruption coverage for a period of one year.

10.3.4Business interruption, loss of income and extra expense insurance in amounts sufficient to pay for Tenant's expenses and lost income attributable to perils commonly insured against by prudent tenants or attributable to prevention of access to the Premises as a result of such perils.
10.4Form of Policies. The minimum limits of policies of insurance required of Tenant under this Lease shall in no event limit the liability of Tenant under this Lease. Such insurance shall (i) name Landlord, and any other party the Landlord so specifies, as an additional insured, including Landlord's managing agent, if any; (ii) specifically cover the liability assumed by Tenant under this Lease, including, but not limited to, Tenant's obligations under Section 10.1 of this Lease; (iii) be issued by an insurance company having a rating of not less than A-X in Best's Insurance Guide or which is otherwise acceptable to Landlord and licensed to do business in the State of California; (iv) be primary insurance as to all claims thereunder and provide that any insurance carried by Landlord is excess and is non-contributing with any insurance requirement of Tenant; (v) be in form and content reasonably acceptable to Landlord; and (vi) provide that said insurance shall not be canceled or coverage changed unless thirty (30) days' prior written notice shall have been given to Landlord and any mortgagee of Landlord. Tenant shall deliver said policy or policies or certificates thereof to Landlord on or before the Lease Commencement Date and at least thirty (30) days before the expiration dates thereof (and Tenant's failure to deliver any such policy, policies or certificates on or before the Lease Commencement Date shall not impact or in any way affect Tenant's obligations to pay Rent under this Lease). In the event Tenant shall fail to procure such insurance, or to deliver such policies or certificate, Landlord may, at its option, procure such policies for the account of Tenant, and the cost thereof shall be paid to Landlord within five (5) days after delivery to Tenant of bills therefor.
10.5Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant intend that their respective property loss risks shall be borne by reasonable insurance carriers to the extent above provided, and, except with respect to any applicable deductible amounts, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to look solely to, and seek recovery only from, their respective insurance carriers in the event of a property loss to the extent that such coverage is agreed to be provided hereunder or actually carried by such party. The parties each hereby waive all rights and claims against each other for such
-27- |
losses (except with respect to any applicable deductible amounts) and for any losses for which such party self-insures (except with respect to any applicable self-insurance retention amount, such amount not to exceed what would have been a commercially reasonable deductible amount if such party had elected to insure such risk with an insurance carrier), and waive all rights of subrogation of their respective insurers, provided such waiver of subrogation shall not affect the right to the insured to recover thereunder. The parties agree that their respective insurance policies are now, or shall be, endorsed such that the waiver of subrogation shall not affect the right of the insured to recover thereunder, so long as no material additional premium is charged therefor.
10.6Additional Insurance Obligations. Tenant shall carry and maintain during the entire Lease Term, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, increased amounts of the insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Article 10 and such other reasonable types of insurance coverage and in such reasonable amounts covering the Premises and Tenant's operations therein, as may be reasonably requested by Landlord, but in no event in excess of the amounts and types of insurance then being required by landlords of buildings comparable to and in the vicinity of the Building.
ARTICLE 11
DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION
DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION
11.1Repair of Damage to Premises by Landlord. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any damage to the Premises resulting from fire or any other casualty. If the Premises or any Common Areas serving or providing access to the Premises or the Building Parking Area shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustment or other matters beyond Landlord's reasonable control, and subject to all other terms of this Article 11, restore the Base Building and such Common Areas (excluding any Alterations made by or for Tenant). Such restoration shall be to substantially the same condition of the Base Building and the Common Areas prior to the casualty, except for modifications required by zoning and building codes and other laws or by the holder of a mortgage on the Building or Project or any other modifications to the Common Areas deemed desirable by Landlord, which are consistent with the character of the Project, provided that access to the Premises, parking and any restrooms serving the Premises shall not be materially impaired. Upon the occurrence of any damage to the Premises, upon notice (the “Landlord Repair Notice") to Tenant from Landlord, Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or to any party designated by Landlord) all insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant's insurance required under Section 10.3.2(ii) of this Lease with respect to the Original Improvements only, and Landlord shall repair any injury or damage to the Original Improvements installed in the Premises and shall return such Original Improvements to their original condition; provided that if the cost of such repair by Landlord exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord from Tenant's insurance carrier, as assigned by Tenant, the cost of such repairs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord prior to Landlord's commencement of repair of the damage. In the event that Landlord does not deliver the Landlord Repair Notice within sixty (60) days following the date the casualty becomes known to Landlord, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, repair any injury or damage to the Original Improvements installed in the Premises and shall return such Original Improvements to their original condition. Whether or not Landlord delivers a Landlord Repair Notice, prior to the commencement of construction to repair injury or damage to the Original Improvements, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, for Landlord's review and approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), all plans, specifications and working drawings relating thereto, and Landlord shall select the contractors to perform such improvement work. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or its visitors, or injury to Tenant's business resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof; provided however, that if such fire or other casualty shall have damaged the Premises or Common Areas necessary to Tenant's occupancy, and the Premises are not occupied by Tenant as a result thereof, then during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy, the Rent shall be abated in proportion to the ratio that the amount of rentable square feet of the Premises which is unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Lease bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises; further provided, in the event that fire or other casualty shall have damaged the Building Parking Area, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make alternative temporary parking available to Tenant elsewhere in the Project until such damage shall have been repaired. In the event that Landlord shall not deliver the Landlord Repair Notice, Tenant's right to rent abatement pursuant to the preceding sentence shall terminate as of the date which is reasonably determined by Landlord to be the date Tenant should have completed repairs to the Premises assuming Tenant used reasonable due diligence in connection therewith.
11.2Landlord's Option to Repair. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 11.1 of this Lease, Landlord may elect not to rebuild and/or restore the Premises, Building and/or Project, and instead terminate this Lease, by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within sixty (60) days after the date of discovery of the damage, such notice to include a termination date giving Tenant sixty (60) days to vacate the Premises, but Landlord may so elect only if the Building or Project shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or cause, whether or not the Premises are affected, and one or more of the following conditions is present: (i) in Landlord's reasonable judgment, repairs cannot reasonably be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of discovery of the damage
-28- |
(when such repairs are made without the payment of overtime or other premiums); (ii) the holder of any mortgage on the Building or Project or ground lessor with respect to the Building or Project shall require that the insurance proceeds or any portion thereof be used to retire the mortgage debt, or shall terminate the ground lease, as the case may be; (iii) the damage is not fully covered by Landlord's insurance policies; (iv) Landlord decides to rebuild the Building or Common Areas so that they will be substantially different structurally or architecturally; (v) the damage occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term; or (vi) any owner of any other portion of the Project, other than Landlord, does not intend to repair the damage to such portion of the Project; provided, however, that if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to Landlord's termination right as provided above, and the repairs cannot, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after being commenced, Tenant may elect, no earlier than sixty (60) days after the date of the damage and not later than ninety (90) days after the date Landlord notifies Tenant in writing that the repairs cannot, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after being commenced (the “Repair Estimate”), to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord effective as of the date specified in the notice, which date shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date such notice is given by Tenant. In addition, if neither Landlord nor Tenant elect to terminate the Lease as set forth herein, and the repairs to be made by Landlord have not been substantially completed within the period set forth in the Repair Estimate (such outside date, as extended for delays caused by Force Majeure and delays caused by Tenant or any of its agents, employees, contractors or invitees, the “Estimated Completion Date”), then Tenant shall have the right, within five (5) business days after the Estimated Completion Date to terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord (the "Damage Termination Notice"), effective as of a date set forth in the Damage Termination Notice (but not less than thirty (30) days after the date of the Damage Termination Notice) (the "Damage Termination Date"); provided, however, that if the repairs are substantially completed prior to the Damage Termination Date, then the Damage Termination Notice shall be deemed to be revoked and cancelled and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. If the Premises are damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty by any peril within twelve (12) months prior to the last day of the Lease Term, Tenant may terminate this Lease on thirty (30) days’ written notice to Landlord.
11.3Waiver of Statutory Provisions. The provisions of this Lease, including this Article 11, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the Premises, the Building or the Project, and any statute or regulation of the State of California, including, without limitation, Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) of the California Civil Code, with respect to any rights or obligations concerning damage or destruction in the absence of an express agreement between the parties, and any other statute or regulation, now or hereafter in effect, shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of the Premises, the Building or the Project.
ARTICLE 12
NONWAIVER
NONWAIVER
No provision of this Lease shall be deemed waived by either party hereto unless expressly waived in a writing signed thereby. The waiver by either party hereto of any breach of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of Rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such Rent. No acceptance of a lesser amount than the Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed a waiver of Landlord's right to receive the full amount due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or payment or any letter accompanying such check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the full amount due. No receipt of monies by Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease shall in any way alter the length of the Lease Term or of Tenant's right of possession hereunder, or after the giving of any notice shall reinstate, continue or extend the Lease Term or affect any notice given Tenant prior to the receipt of such monies, it being agreed that after the service of notice or the commencement of a suit, or after final judgment for possession of the Premises, Landlord may receive and collect any Rent due, and the payment of said Rent shall not waive or affect said notice, suit or judgment.
ARTICLE 13
CONDEMNATION
CONDEMNATION
If the whole or any part of the Premises, Building or Project shall be taken by power of eminent domain or condemned by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or if any adjacent property or street shall be so taken or condemned, or reconfigured or vacated by such authority in such manner as to require the use, reconstruction or remodeling of any part of the Premises, Building or Project, or if Landlord shall grant a deed
-29- |
or other instrument in lieu of such taking by eminent domain or condemnation, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to the authority. If more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the rentable square feet of the Premises is taken, or if access to the Premises or use of or access to the Building Parking Area is substantially impaired, in each case for a period in excess of one hundred eighty (180) days, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to the authority. Tenant shall not because of such taking assert any claim against Landlord or the authority for any compensation because of such taking and Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award or payment in connection therewith, except that Tenant shall have the right to file any separate claim available to Tenant for loss of unamortized costs of the leasehold improvements made at the cost of Tenant and not reimbursed to Tenant as part of the Tenant Improvement Allowance , and any taking of Tenant's personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant and removable by Tenant upon expiration of the Lease Term pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and for moving expenses, so long as such claims do not diminish the award available to Landlord, its ground lessor with respect to the Building or Project or its mortgagee, and such claim is payable separately to Tenant. All Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination. If any part of the Premises shall be taken, and this Lease shall not be so terminated, the Rent shall be proportionately abated and Landlord shall exercise commercially reasonable diligence to restore the Building and the Premises to substantially their former condition to the extent of the award received by Landlord with respect to such taking; provided that, if Landlord shall not substantially restore the useable areas of the Building and the Premises to their former condition, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it might otherwise have pursuant to Section 1265.130 of The California Code of Civil Procedure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 13, in the event of a temporary taking of all or any portion of the Premises for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days or less, then this Lease shall not terminate but the Base Rent and the Additional Rent shall be abated for the period of such taking in proportion to the ratio that the amount of rentable square feet of the Premises taken bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award made in connection with any such temporary taking.
ARTICLE 14
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
14.1Transfers. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, or permit any lien to attach to, or otherwise transfer, this Lease or any interest hereunder, permit any assignment, or other transfer of this Lease or any interest hereunder by operation of law, sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or enter into any license or concession agreements or otherwise permit the occupancy or use of the Premises or any part thereof by any persons other than Tenant and its employees and contractors (all of the foregoing are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as "Transfers" and any person to whom any Transfer is made or sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes referred to as a "Transferee"). If Tenant desires Landlord's consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing, which notice (the Transfer Notice") shall include (i) the proposed effective date of the Transfer, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of delivery of the Transfer Notice, (ii) a description of the portion of the Premises to be transferred (the "Subject Space"), (iii) all of the terms of the proposed Transfer and the consideration therefor, including calculation of the "Transfer Premium," as that term is defined in Section 14.3 below, in connection with such Transfer, the name and address of the proposed Transferee, and a copy of all existing executed and/or proposed documentation pertaining to the proposed Transfer, including all existing operative documents to be executed to evidence such Transfer or the agreements incidental or related to such Transfer, (iv) current financial statements of the proposed Transferee for the past two (2) years, including balance sheets, statements of profits and losses, and business credit reports, each certified by an officer, partner or owner thereof, business credit and personal references and history of the proposed Transferee and any other information reasonably required by Landlord which will enable Landlord to determine the financial responsibility, character, and reputation of the proposed Transferee, nature of such Transferee's business and proposed use of the Subject Space, and (v) an executed estoppel certificate from Tenant in form acceptable to Landlord. Any Transfer made without Landlord's prior written consent shall, at Landlord's option, be null, void and of no effect, and shall, at Landlord's option, constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease. Whether or not Landlord consents to any proposed Transfer, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for its reasonable, actual, , out-of-pocket expenses involved in reviewing any request for consent (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys', accountants', architects', engineers' and consultants' fees), within thirty (30) days after written request by Landlord.
14.2Landlord's Consent. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent to any proposed Transfer of the Subject Space to the Transferee on the terms specified in the Transfer Notice. Landlord shall respond in writing to Tenant’s request for consent hereunder within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of such a Transfer Notice. Without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent, the parties hereby agree that it shall be reasonable under this Lease and under any applicable law for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer where one or more of the following apply:
-30- |
14.2.1The Transferee is of a character or reputation or engaged in a business which is not consistent with the quality of the Building or the Project;
14.2.2The Transferee intends to use the Subject Space for purposes which are not permitted under this Lease;
14.2.3The Transferee is either a governmental agency or instrumentality thereof or a nonprofit organization; or
14.2.4The Transferee is not a party of reasonable financial worth and/or financial stability in light of the responsibilities to be undertaken in connection with the Transfer on the date consent is requested.
If Landlord consents to any Transfer pursuant to the terms of this Section 14.2 (and does not exercise any recapture rights Landlord may have under Section 14.4 of this Lease), Tenant may within six (6) months after Landlord's consent, but not later than the expiration of said six-month period, enter into such Transfer of the Premises or portion thereof, upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Transfer Notice furnished by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Section 14.1 of this Lease, provided that if there are any changes in the terms and conditions from those specified in the Transfer Notice (i) such that Landlord would initially have been entitled to refuse its consent to such Transfer under this Section 14.2, or (ii) which would cause the proposed Transfer to be more favorable to the Transferee than the terms set forth in Tenant's original Transfer Notice, Tenant shall again submit the Transfer to Landlord for its approval and other action under this Article 14 (including Landlord's right of recapture, if any, under Section 14.4 of this Lease). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if Tenant or any proposed Transferee claims that Landlord has unreasonably withheld or delayed its consent under Section 14.2 or otherwise has breached or acted unreasonably under this Article 14, their sole remedies shall be a suit for contract damages (other than damages for injury to, or interference with, Tenant's business including, without limitation, loss of profits, however occurring) or declaratory judgment and an injunction for the relief sought, and Tenant hereby waives all other remedies, including, without limitation, any right at law or equity to terminate this Lease, on its own behalf and, to the extent permitted under all applicable laws, on behalf of the proposed Transferee.
14.3Transfer Premium. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, as a condition thereto which the parties hereby agree is reasonable, or if Tenant enters into a sublease with any Permitted Subtenant pursuant to Section 14.9 below, Tenant shall pay to Landlord one hundred percent (100%) of any "Transfer Premium," as that term is defined in this Section 14.3, received by Tenant from such Transferee. "Transfer Premium" shall mean all rent, additional rent or other consideration payable by such Transferee in connection with the Transfer in excess of the Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease during the term of the Transfer on a per rentable square foot basis if less than all of the Premises is transferred, after deducting the reasonable expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with such Transfer for (i) any fair market brokerage commission incurred by Tenant in connection with the Transfer, (ii) reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Tenant in connection with the Transfer and (iii) any changes, alterations and improvements to the Premises in connection with the Transfer. "Transfer Premium" shall also include, but not be limited to, key money, bonus money or other cash consideration paid by Transferee to Tenant in connection with such Transfer, and any payment in excess of fair market value for services rendered by Tenant to Transferee or for assets, fixtures, inventory, equipment, or furniture transferred by Tenant to Transferee in connection with such Transfer. The determination of the amount of Landlord's applicable share of the Transfer Premium shall be made on a monthly basis as rent or other consideration is received by Tenant under the Transfer.
14.4Landlord's Option as to Subject Space. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14, in the event Tenant contemplates a Transfer of all or a portion of the Premises, Tenant shall give Landlord notice (the "Intention to Transfer Notice") of such contemplated Transfer (whether or not the contemplated Transferee or the terms of such contemplated Transfer have been determined). The Intention to Transfer Notice shall specify the portion of and amount of rentable square feet of the Premises which Tenant intends to Transfer (the "Contemplated Transfer Space"), the contemplated date of commencement of the Contemplated Transfer (the Contemplated Effective Date"), and the contemplated length of the term of such contemplated Transfer, and shall specify that such Intention to Transfer Notice is delivered to Landlord pursuant to this Section 14.4 in order to allow Landlord to elect to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space. Thereafter, Landlord shall have the option, by giving written notice to Tenant within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of any Intention to Transfer Notice, to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space. Such recapture shall cancel and terminate this Lease with respect to such Contemplated Transfer Space as of the Contemplated Effective Date. In the event of a recapture by Landlord, if this Lease shall be canceled with respect to less than the entire Premises, the Rent reserved herein shall be prorated on the basis of the number of rentable square feet retained by Tenant in proportion to the number of rentable square feet contained in the Premises, and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect, and upon request of either party, the parties shall execute written confirmation of the same. If Landlord declines to recapture such Contemplated Transfer Space under this
-31- |
Section 14.4, then, subject to the other terms of this Article 14, for a period of nine (9) months (the "Nine Month Period") commencing on the last day of such thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall not have any right to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space with respect to any Transfer made during the Nine Month Period, provided that any such Transfer is substantially on the terms set forth in the Intention to Transfer Notice, and provided further that any such Transfer shall be subject to the remaining terms of this Article 14. If such a Transfer is not so consummated within the Nine Month Period (or if a Transfer is so consummated, then upon the expiration of the term of any Transfer of such Contemplated Transfer Space consummated within such Nine Month Period), Tenant shall again be required to submit a new Intention to Transfer Notice to Landlord with respect any contemplated Transfer, as provided above in this Section 14.4. If Landlord recaptures any Contemplated Transfer Space, Landlord shall, at Landlord’s sole expense, promptly construct, paint, and furnish any partitions required to segregate the Contemplated Transfer Space from the remaining Premises retained by Tenant as well as arrange separate metering of utilities and repair any damage created by the partition (except to the extent caused by Tenant or any of its agents, employees, contractors and invitees).
14.5Effect of Transfer. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, (i) the terms and conditions of this Lease shall in no way be deemed to have been waived or modified, (ii) such consent shall not be deemed consent to any further Transfer by either Tenant or a Transferee, (iii) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, promptly after execution, an original executed copy of all documentation pertaining to the Transfer in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (iv) Tenant shall furnish upon Landlord's request a complete statement, certified by an independent certified public accountant, or Tenant's chief financial officer, setting forth in detail the computation of any Transfer Premium Tenant has derived and shall derive from such Transfer, and (v) no Transfer relating to this Lease or agreement entered into with respect thereto, whether with or without Landlord's consent, shall relieve Tenant or any guarantor of the Lease from any liability under this Lease, including, without limitation, in connection with the Subject Space. Landlord or its authorized representatives shall have the right at all reasonable times to audit the books, records and papers of Tenant relating to any Transfer, and shall have the right to make copies thereof. If the Transfer Premium respecting any Transfer shall be found understated, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after demand, pay the deficiency, and if understated by more than [***], Tenant shall pay Landlord's costs of such audit. In addition, at Landlord's option, Tenant's understatement of the Transfer Premium shall constitute an uncurable default of this Lease by Tenant without the necessity of any written notice or passage of any cure period.
14.6Additional Transfers. For purposes of this Lease, the term "Transfer" shall also include (i) if Tenant is a partnership, the withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, of fifty percent (50%) or more of the partners, or transfer of fifty percent (50%) or more of partnership interests, within a twelve (12)-month period, or the dissolution of the partnership without immediate reconstitution thereof, and (ii) if Tenant is a closely held corporation (i.e., whose stock is not publicly held and not traded through an exchange or over the counter), (A) the dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant or (B) the sale or other transfer of an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting shares of Tenant (other than to immediate family members by reason of gift or death), within a twelve (12)-month period, or (C) the sale, mortgage, hypothecation or pledge of an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) or more of the value of the unencumbered assets of Tenant within a twelve (12)-month period.
14.7Occurrence of Default. Any Transfer hereunder shall be subordinate and subject to the provisions of this Lease, and if this Lease shall be terminated during the term of any Transfer, Landlord shall have the right to: (i) treat such Transfer as cancelled and repossess the Subject Space by any lawful means, or (ii) require that such Transferee attorn to and recognize Landlord as its landlord under any such Transfer. If Tenant shall be in default beyond the applicable notice and cure period provided in this Lease, Landlord is hereby irrevocably authorized to direct any Transferee to make all payments under or in connection with the Transfer directly to Landlord (which Landlord shall apply towards Tenant's obligations under this Lease) until such default is cured. Such Transferee shall rely on any representation by Landlord that Tenant is in default beyond the applicable notice and cure period provided hereunder, without any need for confirmation thereof by Tenant. Upon any assignment, the assignee shall assume in writing all obligations and covenants of Tenant thereafter to be performed or observed under this Lease. No collection or acceptance of rent by Landlord from any Transferee shall be deemed a waiver of any provision of this Article 14 or the approval of any Transferee or a release of Tenant from any obligation under this Lease, whether theretofore or thereafter accruing. In no event shall Landlord's enforcement of any provision of this Lease against any Transferee be deemed a waiver of Landlord's right to enforce any term of this Lease against Tenant or any other person. If Tenant's obligations hereunder have been guaranteed, Landlord's consent to any Transfer shall not be effective unless the guarantor also consents to such Transfer.
14.8Non-Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14, an assignment or subletting of all or a portion of the Premises to an affiliate of Tenant (an entity which is controlled by, controls, or is under common control with, Tenant) or to any entity resulting from the merger or consolidation with or reorganization of Tenant (or of an entity which is controlled by, controls or is under common control with Tenant), or to any person or entity which acquires all or substantially all of the interests of Tenant or all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant (or of an entity which is controlled by, controls or is under common control
-32- |
with Tenant) (collectively, a “Permitted Transferee”), shall not be deemed a Transfer under this Article 14, provided that (a) Tenant notifies Landlord of any such assignment or sublease and promptly supplies Landlord with any documents or information reasonably requested by Landlord regarding such assignment or sublease or such affiliate, and (b) such assignment or sublease is not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Lease. "Control," as used in this Section 14.8, shall mean the ownership, directly or indirectly, of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting securities of, or possession of the right to vote, in the ordinary direction of its affairs, of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting interest in, any person or entity. No assignment or sublease to a Permitted Transferee shall relieve Tenant or any guarantor of the Lease from any liability under this Lease, including, without limitation, in connection with the Subject Space. A Permitted Transferee that is an assignee of all of Tenant’s interest in this Lease is referred to herein as a “Permitted Assignee”.

REMOVAL OF TRADE FIXTURES
15.1Surrender of Premises. No act or thing done by Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord during the Lease Term shall be deemed to constitute an acceptance by Landlord of a surrender of the Premises unless such intent is specifically acknowledged in writing by Landlord. The delivery of keys to the Premises to Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord shall not constitute a surrender of the Premises or effect a termination of this Lease, whether or not the keys are thereafter retained by Landlord, and notwithstanding such delivery Tenant shall be entitled to the return of such keys at any reasonable time upon request until this Lease shall have been properly terminated. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, whether accepted by Landlord or not, or a mutual termination hereof, shall not work a merger, and at the option of Landlord shall operate as an assignment to Landlord of all subleases or subtenancies affecting the Premises or terminate any or all such subleases or subtenancies.
15.2Removal of Tenant Property by Tenant. Upon the expiration of the Lease Term, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, subject to the provisions of this Article 15, quit and surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in as good order and condition as when Tenant took possession and as thereafter improved by Landlord and/or Tenant, reasonable wear and tear (subject to Tenant's Repair Obligations under Section 7.1, above) and repairs which are specifically made the responsibility of Landlord hereunder excepted. Upon such expiration or termination, Tenant shall, without expense to Landlord, remove or cause to be removed from the Premises all debris and rubbish, and such items of furniture, equipment, business and trade fixtures, free-standing cabinet work, movable partitions and other articles of personal property owned by Tenant or installed or placed by Tenant at its expense in the Premises, and such similar articles of any other persons claiming under Tenant, as Landlord may, in its sole discretion, require to be removed, and Tenant shall repair at its own expense all damage to the Premises and Building resulting from such removal.
ARTICLE 16
HOLDING OVER
HOLDING OVER
If Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Lease Term or earlier termination thereof, with or without the express or implied consent of Landlord, such tenancy shall be from month-to-month only, and shall not constitute a renewal hereof or an extension for any further term, and in such case Rent shall be payable at a monthly rate equal to [***] of the Rent applicable during the last rental period of the Lease Term under this Lease. Such
-33- |
month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other applicable term, covenant and agreement contained herein. Nothing contained in this Article 16 shall be construed as consent by Landlord to any holding over by Tenant, and Landlord expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord as provided in this Lease upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease. The provisions of this Article 16 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein or at law. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) and liability resulting from such failure, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to surrender and any lost profits to Landlord resulting therefrom.

Any such certificate may be relied upon by any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of all or any portion of the Project. Failure of Tenant to timely execute, acknowledge and deliver such estoppel certificate or other instruments shall constitute an acceptance of the Premises and an acknowledgment by Tenant that statements included in the estoppel certificate are true and correct, without exception. Landlord will from time to time provide Tenant with a similar statement within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s written request therefor to Landlord.
At any time during the Lease Term, Landlord may require Tenant to provide Landlord with a current financial statement (including a balance sheet, statement of profits and losses, and a business credit report) and such financial statements of the two (2) years prior to the current financial statement year. Such statements shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and, if such is the normal practice of Tenant, shall be audited by an independent certified public accountant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time during the Lease Term, Tenant is a public company whose financial statements are publicly available and Tenant is in compliance with all applicable reporting and disclosure requirements under applicable law, then such financial statements shall satisfy the obligation set forth in this paragraph.

Landlord's interest herein may be assigned as security at any time to any lienholder. Tenant shall, within ten (10) days of request by Landlord, execute such further instruments or assurances as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary to evidence or confirm the subordination or superiority of this Lease to any such mortgages, trust deeds, ground leases or underlying leases.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 18, Tenant’s agreement to subordinate this Lease to a ground or underlying leases of the Building or Project first entered into after the date of this Lease or to the lien

Tenant hereby irrevocably waives any right otherwise available under any law to redeem or reinstate this Lease.

Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the subject premises, the commercial property owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of the lessee or tenant, if requested by the lessee or tenant. The parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the premises."

For each of the above purposes, Landlord shall at all times have a key with which to unlock all the doors in the Premises, excluding Tenant's vaults, safes and special security areas designated in advance by Tenant. In an emergency, Landlord shall have the right to use any means that Landlord may deem proper to open the doors in and to the Premises. Any entry into the Premises by Landlord in the manner hereinbefore described shall not be deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant from any portion of the Premises. No provision of this Lease shall be construed as obligating Landlord to perform any repairs, alterations or decorations except as otherwise expressly agreed to be performed by Landlord herein. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any interference to the conduct of Tenant's business during any such entry.
Landlord’s entry into the Premises shall be subject to Tenant’s commercially reasonable security requirements. Landlord acknowledges and agrees that Tenant may require that Landlord be accompanied by an employee of Tenant during any such entry into the Premises by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may enter the Premises immediately in the event of an emergency without regard to such requirements. If access to the Premises is reasonably required in order for Landlord to perform any of its obligations under this Lease, and if Landlord is not timely provided with access to the Premises as a result of Tenant’s security requirements or Tenant’s requirement that Landlord be accompanied by an employee of Tenant, then (a) Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for Landlord's failure to perform such obligations as a result thereof or any damage accrued during such period, (b) Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord at law or in equity as a result of such failure by Landlord or any damage accrued during such period, and (c) Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) and liability accrued during any such period.

Landlord specifically reserves the right to change the size, configuration, design, layout and all other aspects of the Project parking facilities at any time and Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord may, without incurring any liability to Tenant and without any abatement of Rent under this Lease, from time to time, temporarily close-off or restrict access to the Project parking facilities for purposes of permitting or facilitating any such construction, alteration or improvements provided that if any such temporary closure or restriction reduces the available parking spaces in the Building Parking Area to less than the Parking Ratio, then Landlord shall permit Tenant to use other Project parking facilities (as reasonably selected by Landlord), to bring the parking spaces available for Tenant’s use back up to the Parking Ratio. Landlord may delegate its responsibilities hereunder to a parking operator in which case such parking operator shall have all the rights of control attributed hereby to the Landlord. The parking rights granted to Tenant pursuant to this Article 28 are provided to Tenant solely for use by Tenant's own personnel (and the personnel of FVG, TSSF, and any Permitted Transferee, during the terms of their applicable occupancy rights at the Premises, subject to Article 14 above) and such rights may not be transferred, assigned, subleased or otherwise alienated by Tenant without Landlord's prior approval (in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, except in connection with a Transfer, in which event Landlord’s approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

None of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease can be modified, deleted or added to except in writing signed by the parties hereto.
29.15Right to Lease. Landlord reserves the absolute right to effect such other tenancies in the Project as Landlord in the exercise of its sole business judgment shall determine to best promote the interests of the Building or Project.

Any Notice shall be sent, transmitted, or delivered, as the case may be, to Tenant at the appropriate address set forth in Section 11 of the Summary, or to such other place as Tenant may from time to time designate in a Notice to Landlord, or to Landlord at the addresses set forth in Section 12 of the Summary, or to such other places as Landlord may from time to time designate in a Notice to Tenant.

Nothing in this Section shall be construed to limit a party's obligation, as may be set forth elsewhere in this Lease, to indemnify another from any fees or costs (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, accounting fees, expert witness fees, consulting fees, court costs, and all other costs), except to the extent incurred by the indemnified party in an action brought against the indemnifying party to enforce such indemnification provisions under this Lease.

29.22Governing Law; Venue. This Lease is governed by, and shall be interpreted under, the laws of the State of California.

Landlord and Tenant hereby warrant to each other that they have had no dealings with any real estate broker or agent in connection with the negotiation of this Lease, excepting only the real estate brokers or agents specified in Section 12 of the Summary (the Brokers"), and that they know of no other real estate broker or agent who is entitled to a commission in connection with this Lease.

29.26Project or Building Name and Signage. Landlord shall have the right at any time to change the name of the Project or Building and to install, affix and maintain any and all signs on the exterior and on the interior of the Project or Building as Landlord may, in Landlord's sole discretion, desire. Tenant shall not use the name of the Project or Building or use pictures or illustrations of the Project or Building in advertising or other publicity or for any purpose other than as the address of the business to be conducted by Tenant in the Premises, without the prior written consent of Landlord (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
29.27Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in counterparts with the same effect as if both parties hereto had executed the same document. Both counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute a single lease.
29.28Confidentiality. Tenant acknowledges that the economic terms set forth in this Lease are below fair market rental for the Premises and that Landlord is only willing to enter into this Lease on such economic terms subject to Tenant agreeing to keep the content of this Lease and any related documents strictly confidential, except that Tenant shall be allowed to disclose the content of this Lease and any related documents solely to its financial and legal consultants or as required by law or regulation or required pursuant to a valid order of a court or regulatory agency or , if such information is available from an inspection of public records, including, without limitation, in connection with Tenant’s public filings required to comply with applicable securities laws. Tenant acknowledges that the unauthorized disclosure of the content of this Lease and any related documents, and in particular the economic terms of this Lease, would cause Landlord substantial harm and deprive Landlord the benefit of its bargain in entering into this Lease. Accordingly, should Tenant violate the terms of this Section 29.28, Landlord shall be entitled to retroactively (from the date of such violation) and prospectively through the end of the Lease Term, collect from Tenant monthly Base Rent at the rate of $[***] per rentable square feet of the Premises per month (as such amount shall be escalated annually on each anniversary of the date of this Lease by [***]) (the "Fair Market Rent"), which Tenant acknowledges may represent the current fair market rental of the Premises on a triple-net basis. In the event Landlord informs Tenant that Tenant has violated the terms of this Section 29.28, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Tenant shall be obligated to pay the Fair Market Rent until such time as there is an adjudication that Tenant did not violate the terms of this Section 29.28. Any such relief sought by Tenant must be initiated by Tenant, if at all, within ninety (90) days after Tenant's receipt of notice from Landlord that Tenant has violated this Section 29.28 and is responsible for the payment of Fair Market Rent; otherwise, Tenant shall be deemed to have forever waived its right to contest a violation of this Section 29.28. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may provide copies of the Lease to potential and actual subtenants and assignees of the Lease, provided that prior to such disclosure, Tenant has delivered to Landlord a confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement duly executed and accepted by such subtenant or assignee on Landlord’s standard form, and all economic terms of this Lease (including, without limitation, the amount of Base Rent and Tenant Improvement Allowances) shall be redacted from the Lease.
-43- |
29.29Building Renovations. It is specifically understood and agreed that Landlord has no obligation and has made no promises to alter, remodel, improve, renovate, repair or decorate the Premises, Building, or any part thereof and that no representations respecting the condition of the Premises or the Building have been made by Landlord to Tenant except as specifically set forth herein. However, Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord is currently renovating or may during the Lease Term renovate, improve, alter, or modify (collectively, the "Renovations") the Project (not including the Building). Tenant hereby agrees that such Renovations shall in no way constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant nor entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent. Landlord shall have no responsibility and shall not be liable to Tenant for any injury to or interference with Tenant's business arising from any Renovations permitted hereunder, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the whole or any part of the Premises or of Tenant's personal property or improvements resulting from such Renovations, or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such Renovations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any Renovations that permanently reduce the available parking spaces in the Building Parking Area to less than the Parking Ratio, then Landlord shall permit Tenant to use other Project parking facilities (as reasonably selected by Landlord), to bring the parking spaces available for Tenant’s use back up to the Parking Ratio. In the event that significant development at the Project disturbs or is reasonably expected by Tenant in the exercise of its good faith judgment to disturb Tenant's use and enjoyment of its allocated parking in the Building Parking Area, Tenant shall have the right to terminate the Lease with twenty-four (24) months prior written notice to Landlord, provided that Tenant shall pay, at the time of delivery of the termination notice, a termination penalty to Landlord equal to the unamortized (as of the date of Lease termination) (i) Base Rent Abatement and (ii) Tenant Improvement Allowance (the "Disturbance Termination Right"). By way of illustration, but not by limitation, the Base Rent Abatement and the Tenant Improvement Allowance amortized on a 126-month, straight line basis, is [***]. The Disturbance Termination Right shall automatically expire at the end of the initial Lease Term, and be of no further force and effect.
29.30No Violation. Tenant hereby warrants and represents that neither its execution of nor performance under this Lease shall cause Tenant to be in violation of any agreement, instrument, contract, law, rule or regulation by which Tenant is bound, and Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless against any claims, demands, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, arising from Tenant's breach of this warranty and representation.
29.31Communications and Computer Lines. Tenant may install, maintain, replace, remove or use any communications or computer wires and cables serving the Premises (collectively, the "Lines"), provided that (i) Tenant shall obtain Landlord's prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), use an experienced and qualified contractor approved in writing by Landlord, and comply with all of the other provisions of Articles 7 and 8 of this Lease, (ii) an acceptable number of spare Lines and space for additional Lines shall be maintained for existing and future occupants of the Project, as determined in Landlord's reasonable opinion, (iii) the Lines therefor (including riser cables) shall be appropriately insulated to prevent excessive electromagnetic fields or radiation, shall be surrounded by a protective conduit reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and shall be identified in accordance with the "Identification Requirements," as that term is set forth hereinbelow, (iv) any new or existing Lines servicing the Premises shall comply with all applicable governmental laws and regulations, (v) as a condition to permitting the installation of new Lines, Landlord may require that Tenant remove existing Lines located in or serving the Premises and repair any damage in connection with such removal, and (vi) Tenant shall pay all costs in connection therewith. All Lines shall be clearly marked with adhesive plastic labels (or plastic tags attached to such Lines with wire) to show Tenant's name, suite number, telephone number and the name of the person to contact in the case of an emergency (A) every four feet (4') outside the Premises (specifically including, but not limited to, the electrical room risers and other Common Areas), and (B) at the Lines' termination point(s) (collectively, the "Identification Requirements"). Unless otherwise instructed by Landlord (by notice to Tenant), Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, remove any Lines located in or serving the Premises (and repair any resulting damage).
29.32Transportation Management. Tenant shall fully comply with all present or future programs intended to manage parking, transportation or traffic in and around the Project and/or the Building, and in connection therewith, Tenant shall take responsible action for the transportation planning and management of all employees located at the Premises by working directly with Landlord, any governmental transportation management organization or any other transportation-related committees or entities. Such programs may include, without limitation: (i) restrictions on the number of peak-hour vehicle trips generated by Tenant; (ii) increased vehicle occupancy; (iii) implementation of an in-house ridesharing program and an employee transportation coordinator; (iv) working with employees and any Project, Building or area-wide ridesharing program manager; (v) instituting employer-sponsored incentives (financial or in-kind) to encourage employees to rideshare; and (vi) utilizing flexible work shifts for employees.

29.33.2The Other Improvements. If portions of the Project or property adjacent to the Project (collectively, the "Other Improvements") are owned by an entity other than Landlord, Landlord, at its option, may enter into an agreement with the owner or owners of any or all of the Other Improvements to provide (i) for reciprocal rights of access and/or use of the Project and the Other Improvements, (ii) for the common management, operation, maintenance, improvement and/or repair of all or any portion of the Project and the Other Improvements, provided that Tenant's rights under this Lease are not materially impaired, (iii) for the allocation of a portion of the Direct Expenses to the Other Improvements and the operating expenses and taxes for the Other Improvements to the Project, and (iv) for the use or improvement of the Other Improvements and/or the Project in connection with the improvement, construction, and/or excavation of the Other Improvements and/or the Project. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to limit or otherwise affect Landlord's right to convey all or any portion of the Project or any other of Landlord's rights described in this Lease.
29.33.3Construction of Project and Other Improvements. Tenant acknowledges that portions of the Project and/or the Other Improvements may be subject to demolition or construction following Tenant's occupancy of the Premises, and that such construction may result in levels of noise, dust, obstruction of access, etc. which are in excess of that present in a fully constructed project. Tenant hereby waives any and all rent offsets or claims of constructive eviction which may arise in connection with such demolition or construction.

30.1.1Tenant's Prohibition. Tenant shall not cause or permit any "Hazardous Substances," as that term is defined below, to be brought upon, produced, treated, stored, used, discharged or disposed of in or near the Project without Landlord's prior written consent, which Landlord may give or withhold in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that Landlord's consent shall not be required for normal use in compliance with applicable laws, ordinances, regulations and requirements of customary household and office supplies, including by example but without limitation, mild cleaners, lubricants and copier toner, vehicles located in loading and parking areas, data and telecommunication equipment, batteries, fuel storage tanks, and other materials used in connection with emergency or uninterrupted power supply devices, and other supplies and materials consistent with those used by Tenant in similar or comparable facilities operated by Tenant. Any handling, transportation, storage, treatment, disposal or use of any Hazardous Substances in or about the Project by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees shall strictly comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, regulations and requirements, including "Environmental Laws," as that term is defined below. Tenant shall be solely responsible for obtaining and complying with all permits necessary for the maintenance and operation of its business, including, without limitation, all permits governing the use, handling, storage, treatment, transport, discharge and disposal of Hazardous Substances. To the extent reasonably required, Landlord shall, at no out-of-pocket cost to Landlord, reasonably cooperate with Tenant in Tenant's efforts to obtain any such permits or similar authorizations or clearances, including, without limitation, executing applications and taking any other actions required by any state, federal or local governmental body in connection with Tenant's efforts to obtain such permit.

All Remedial Work performed by Tenant shall be performed by one or more contractors, selected by Tenant and reasonably approved in advance in writing by Landlord, and under the supervision of a consulting engineer selected by Tenant and reasonably approved in advance in writing by Landlord. All costs and expenses of such Remedial Work shall be paid by Tenant, including, without limitation, the charges of such contractor(s), the consulting engineer and Landlord's reasonable attorneys' and experts' fees and costs incurred in connection with monitoring or review of such Remedial Work. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall have no obligation to perform any Remedial Work for any Hazardous Substances (other than Mold Conditions) located in any portion of the Premises prior to the applicable Lease Commencement Date for such Phase and that was not placed thereon or therein or damaged or disturbed by Tenant or any of Tenant Party. For the avoidance of doubt, the inspection and remediation of Mold Conditions is set forth in Section 30.6 below.

Tenant will, at its sole cost and expense keep and maintain the Building in good order and condition in accordance with the Mold Prevention Practices and acknowledges that the control of moisture, and prevention of "Mold Conditions," as defined in Section 30.6.2.1, below, within the Premises, are integral to its obligations under this Lease.
30.6.2Tenant Obligations. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall:
30.6.2.1Regularly monitor the Building for the presence of mold and any conditions that reasonably can be expected to give rise or be attributed to mold or fungus including, but not limited to, observed or suspected instances of water damage, condensation, seepage, leaks or any other water penetration (from any source, internal or external), mold growth, mildew, repeated complaints of respiratory ailments or eye irritation by Tenant's employees or any other occupants of the Premises, or any notice from a governmental agency of complaints regarding the indoor air quality at the Premises (the "Mold Conditions"); and

30.6.4Mold Remedial Work. If Tenant observes, suspects, has reason to believe mold or Mold Conditions at the Premises, or if Landlord provides written notice to Tenant that it observes, suspects, has reason to believe mold or Mold Conditions at the Premises, then Tenant shall promptly take all actions to clean-up, contain, restore, remove and remediate such Mold Conditions (collectively, "Mold Remedial Work"). All Mold Remedial Work shall be performed in accordance with all applicable laws, ordinances, regulations and requirements. All Mold Remedial Work performed by Tenant shall be performed by one or more contractors, selected by Tenant and reasonably approved in advance in writing by Landlord. All costs and expenses of such Mold Remedial Work shall be paid by Tenant, including, without limitation, the charges of such contractor(s) and Landlord's reasonable attorneys' and experts' fees and costs incurred in connection with monitoring or review of such Mold Remedial Work. For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant shall be obligated to perform all Mold Remedial Work regardless of when the mold or Mold Conditions at the Premises first arose, provided that Tenant may use the Tenant Improvement Allowance towards the costs of such Mold Remedial Work in accordance with Section 8.6 above
