month. In the event that the Term of this Lease commences on a date other than the first day of a
calendar month, on the date of commencement of the Term hereof Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Rent
for the period from such date of commencement to the first day of the next succeeding calendar
month that proportion of the monthly Rent hereunder for the number of days between such date of
commencement and the first day of the next succeeding calendar month. In the event that the Term
of this Lease for any reason ends on a date other than the last day of a calendar month, on the
first day of the last calendar month of the Term hereof Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Rent for
the period from said first day of said last calendar month to and including the last day of the
Term hereof that proportion of the monthly Rent hereunder for the number of days between said first
day of said last calendar month and the last day of the Term hereof.
C. Late Charge. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, if Landlord (or Landlord’s
agent if Landlord has instructed Tenant to make any payment of Rent and/or other amounts due under
the Lease directly to Landlord’s agent) does not receive payment of Rent as set forth in this
Paragraph 4 and/or other amounts due under the Lease within ten (10) days of the due date, or any
part thereof, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, in addition to the delinquent Rent and/or other
amounts that may be due, a late charge for each Rent and/or other payment not received by Landlord
(or Landlord’s agent if Landlord has instructed Tenant to make any payment of Rent and/or other
amounts due under the Lease directly to Landlord’s agent) within ten (10) days of the due date
(“Late Charge”). Said Late Charge shall equal ten percent (10%) of each Rent payment not received
by Landlord within such ten (10) day period; provided, however, that the first Late Charge payable
within any calendar year of the Term hereof shall be waived, so long as Tenant pays the delinquent
amount to Landlord within five (5) days after written notice of such delinquency is delivered by
Landlord to Tenant. Said Late Charge shall be paid by Tenant within thirty (30) days after
presentation of an invoice from Landlord or Landlord’s agent setting forth the amount of said Late
Charge. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord’s failure to issue a Late Charge
invoice in the month of any late payment shall not be considered a waiver of Landlord’s right to
collect said Late Charge.
D. Additional Rent. Except as stated above and commencing as of November 16, 2005, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord or to Landlord’s designated agent in addition to the Basic Rent and as
Additional Rent the following:
(a) All Taxes relating to the Premises set forth in Paragraph 10, and
(b) All insurance premiums and deductibles relating to the Premises set forth in Paragraph 14,
and
(c) All charges, costs and expenses, which Tenant is required to pay hereunder, together with
all interest (third party interest) and penalties, costs and expenses including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, that may accrue thereto in the event of Tenant’s failure to pay
such amounts, and all damages, reasonable costs and expenses which Landlord may incur by reason of
default of Tenant or failure on Tenant’s part to comply with the terms of this Lease. In the event
of nonpayment by Tenant of Additional Rent, Landlord shall have all the rights and remedies with
respect thereto as Landlord has for nonpayment of Basic Rent, and
(d) All prorated costs and expenses related to the Ardenwood Technology Park Property Owners’
Association as set forth in Paragraph 43 (“Association Dues”).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, on the Commencement Date, Tenant shall also
pay during the Basic Rent Abatement Period one hundred percent (100%) of all utilities, including

supplemental tax bills related to the installation of the Interior Improvements and the Other

The Additional Rent due hereunder shall be paid to Landlord or Landlord’s agent (i) within ten
(10) days for taxes and insurance and within thirty (30) days for all other Additional Rent items
after presentation of invoice and appropriate supporting information from Landlord or Landlord’s
agent for such Additional Rent and in no event earlier than thirty (30) days before the related
payment is due to the respective agency and/or entity (notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, Landlord shall not be required to submit ongoing monthly statements to Tenant reflecting
amounts owed as Additional Rent) and/or (ii) at the option of Landlord, which option as related to
taxes and insurance may only be elected if Tenant has been in default with respect to the terms of
this Lease after the expiration of applicable cure periods within the immediately preceding twelve
(12) calendar months, Tenant shall pay to Landlord monthly, in advance, Tenant’s prorata share of
an amount estimated by Landlord to be Landlord’s approximate average monthly expenditure for such
Additional Rent items, which estimated amount shall be reconciled (i) within one hundred twenty
(120) days of the end of each calendar year and (ii) within 120 days after the Termination Date (or
as soon thereafter as reasonably possible if, for whatever reason, the Landlord cannot complete the
reconciliation within said 120 day periods) or more frequently if Landlord elects to do so at
Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion as compared to Landlord’s actual expenditure for said
Additional Rent items. In the event of any underpayment by Tenant of Additional Rent items, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s receipt of an invoice from Landlord, any
amount of actual expenses expended by Landlord in excess of said estimated amount. In the event of
any overpayment by Tenant, Landlord shall credit any amount of estimated payments made by Tenant in
excess of Landlord’s actual expenditures for said Additional Rent items to Tenant (provided
Landlord may withhold any portion thereof and credit Tenant to cure Tenant’s default in the
performance of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. Within thirty (30) days
after receipt of Landlord’s reconciliation, Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant’s sole expense,
to audit, at a mutually convenient time at Landlord’s office, Landlord’s records specifically
limited to the foregoing expenses. Such audit must be conducted by Tenant or Tenant’s agent, who
shall be a Certified Public Accountant, or an independent regional or nationally recognized
accounting firm that is not being compensated by Tenant or other third party on a contingency fee
basis. Tenant shall submit to Landlord a complete copy of said audit at no expense to Landlord and
a written notice stating the results of said audit, and if such notice by Tenant and the respective
audit reveals that Landlord has overcharged Tenant, and if the audit is not challenged by Landlord,
the amount overcharged shall be credited to Tenant’s account within thirty (30) days after
completion of Landlord’s review and approval of said audit. The audit rights of Tenant under this
Paragraph 4.D are granted for Tenant’s personal benefit and may not be assigned or transferred by
Tenant, either voluntarily or by operation of law, in any manner whatsoever except to a Permitted
Transferee. Provided Tenant obtains Landlord’s written consent to (i) an assignment to a Permitted
Transferee, as referenced in Paragraph 18.E (“Assignment and Subletting: Permitted Transfers”)
and/or (ii) an other assignment, said audit rights may be assigned by Tenant; however, the audit
rights shall only be applicable to the period that commences after the date of assignment and/or
merger to a Permitted Transferee and/or other Landlord approved assignment as the case may.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no subtenant shall have any right to conduct an
audit of Landlord’s books and/or records.
Landlord shall, upon request by Tenant, provide Tenant with copies of individual invoices
related to the foregoing actual expenses, either by facsimile or by U.S. mail; however, in no event
shall Landlord be obligated to provide duplicate copies of any invoice or other Lease documentation
to Tenant and/or Tenant’s representative (if any) for an audit of Tenant’s records outside of
Landlord’s office.
E. Fixed Management Fee. Beginning on November 1, 2005, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in
addition to the Basic Rent and Additional Rent, a fixed monthly management fee (“Management Fee”)
equal to one and one-half percent (1-1/2%) of the Basic Rent due for each month during the Term.
Tenant shall be responsible for calculating the monthly Management Fee based on the Basic Rent
schedule shown in Paragraph 4.A above, and for paying said Management Fee by the first day of each
month during the Term of this Lease. Tenant’s failure to pay the monthly Management Fee by the due
date will result in a Late Charge being assessed pursuant to the terms of Paragraph 4.C above.
The reference to “Rent” in this Paragraph 4 includes Basic Rent, Additional Rent, and fixed
Management Fee. The respective obligations of Landlord and Tenant under this paragraph shall
survive the expiration or other termination of the Term of this Lease, and if the Term hereof shall
expire or shall otherwise terminate on a day other than the last day of a calendar year, the actual
Additional Rent incurred for the calendar year in which the Term hereof expires or otherwise
terminates shall be determined and settled on the basis of the statement of actual Additional Rent
for such calendar year and shall be prorated in the proportion which the number of days in such
calendar year preceding such expiration or termination bears to 365.
F. Place of Payment of Rent. All Rent hereunder shall be paid to Landlord at the office of
Landlord at: XXXXX/XXXXXXXXX, FILE 1504, XXX 00000, XXX XXXXXXXXX, XX 00000, or to such other
person or to such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing.

G. Security Deposit.
Total Security Deposit. The total Security Deposit required under this Lease is ONE
MILLION AND NO/100 U.S. DOLLARS (U.S. $1,000,000.00) which shall be provided to Landlord as
referenced below.
Cash Security Deposit. Concurrently with Tenant’s execution of this Lease, Tenant
shall deposit with Landlord the sum of FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 U.S. Dollars (U.S.
$500,000.00). Said sum, together with the letter of credit described below, shall be held by
Landlord as a Security Deposit for the faithful performance by Tenant of all of the terms,
covenants, and conditions of this Lease to be kept and performed by Tenant during the Term hereof.
If Tenant defaults after the expiration of applicable cure periods, with respect to any provision
of this Lease, including, but not limited to, the provisions relating to the payment of Rent and
any of the monetary sums due hereunder, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) use, apply or
retain all or any part of this Security Deposit for the payment of any other amount which Landlord
may spend by reason of Tenant’s default or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage
which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant’s default. If any portion of said Security Deposit
is so used or applied, Tenant shall, within five (5) days after written demand therefor, deposit
cash with Landlord in the amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount
or increase the letter of credit to its value immediately prior to any draw on said letter of
credit by Landlord, as appropriate. Tenant’s failure to do so shall be a material breach of this
obligation under the Lease. Landlord shall not be required to keep the cash portion of the
Security Deposit separate from its general funds, and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on
such cash portion. The Security Deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant (or at
Landlord’s option, to the last assignee of Tenant’s interest hereunder) at the expiration or
earlier termination of the Term and after Tenant has vacated the Premises; provided, however, that
Landlord may withhold therefrom the amount necessary to cover the cost to restore the Premises if
Tenant fails to do so as to the condition required of Tenant under Lease Paragraph 5 and to cure
any then uncured default by Tenant under this Lease. In the event of termination of Landlord’s
interest in this Lease, Landlord shall transfer said Security Deposit to Landlord’s successor in
interest whereupon Tenant agrees to release Landlord from liability for the return of such Security
Deposit or the accounting therefor. Tenant hereby waives the protection of Section 1950.7 of the
California Civil Code.
Security Deposit in the Form of an Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit. Within
fifteen (15) days after the Execution Date, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the balance of the
Security Deposit in the form of an irrevocable and freely transferable letter of credit in the
amount of FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 U.S. DOLLARS (U.S. $500,000.00), drawn upon an
institutional lender reasonably acceptable and accessible to Landlord in form and content
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, payable upon demand to Landlord, and for a term equal to the
Term of this Lease plus a period of sixty (60) days (or the next business day immediately following
the sixtieth day after the Lease Termination Date if said date falls on a weekend or a bank
holiday), and said irrevocable letter of credit shall not be subject to annual renewal.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord will accept a standby letter of credit
with an annual renewable date, with the provision that the entire proceeds of any such standby
letter of credit be issued by the issuing financial institution to Landlord without demand in the
event said institution elects not to renew said standby letter of credit. Said cash proceeds shall
thereafter be held and applied by Landlord as referenced in the Cash Security Deposit section
above. Said financial institution must agree that the presentment for demand may be made (i) in
person or (ii) by overnight delivery service in San Xxxx, Santa Xxxxx or Palo Alto, California.
The terms of said letter of credit must provide that (i) all notices from the financial institution
to Landlord shall be sent by U.S. Certified Mail and (ii) Landlord shall not be liable for any fees
whatsoever related to the transfer or assignment of Landlord’s interest as beneficiary under the
letter of credit. If Tenant defaults with respect to any provisions of this Lease, including but
not limited to provisions relating to the payment of Rent, Landlord may (but shall not be required
to) draw down on the irrevocable letter of credit for payment of any sum which Landlord may spend
or become obligated to spend by reason of Tenant’s default, or to compensate Landlord for any loss
or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant’s default. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge
that such irrevocable letter of credit will be treated as if it were a cash Security Deposit, and
such irrevocable letter of credit may be drawn down upon by Landlord upon demand and presentation
to the issuing bank of the documents identified in such letter of credit and evidence of the
identity of Landlord , in the event that Tenant defaults with respect to any provision of this
Lease and such default is not cured within any applicable cure period. Landlord acknowledges that
it is not entitled to draw down such irrevocable letter of credit unless Landlord would have been
entitled to draw upon a cash Security Deposit pursuant to the terms of this Paragraph 4.G.
Concurrently with the delivery of the required information to the issuing bank, Landlord shall
deliver to Tenant written evidence of the default upon which the draw down was based, together with
evidence that Landlord has provided to Tenant the written notice of such default which was required
under the applicable provision of the Lease, and notice of the failure of Tenant to cure such
default within the applicable grace period following receipt of such notice of default. If any
portion of the irrevocable letter of credit is used or applied pursuant hereto, Tenant shall,
within ten (10) days after receipt of a written demand therefor from
Initial: DWD/JA
Page 6 of 46
Landlord, restore and replace
the value of such security by either (i) depositing cash with Landlord in the amount equal to the
sum drawn down under the irrevocable letter of credit, or (ii) increasing the irrevocable letter of
credit to its value immediately prior to such application. Tenant’s failure to replace the value
of the security as provided in the preceding sentence shall be a material breach of this obligation
under this Lease.
5. ACCEPTANCE AND SURRENDER OF PREMISES. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 6
(“As-Is Basis”), and by entry hereunder, Tenant accepts the Premises as being in good and sanitary
order, condition and repair and accepts the Building and improvements included in the Premises in
their present condition and without representation or warranty by Landlord as to the condition of
such Building or as to the use or occupancy which may be made thereof. Any exceptions to the
foregoing must be by written agreement executed by Landlord and Tenant. Tenant agrees on the last
day of the Term, or on the sooner termination of this Lease, to surrender the Premises promptly and
peaceably to Landlord in good condition and repair (damage by Acts of God, fire, normal wear and
tear excepted), with all interior walls cleaned, and repaired or replaced, if damaged; all floors
cleaned and waxed; all carpets cleaned and shampooed; all broken, marred or nonconforming
acoustical ceiling tiles replaced; all windows washed; the air conditioning and heating systems
serviced by a reputable and licensed service firm and in good operating condition and repair; the
plumbing and electrical systems and lighting in good order and repair, including replacement of any
burned out or broken light bulbs or ballasts; the lawn and shrubs in good condition including the
replacement of any dead or damaged plantings; the sidewalk, driveways and parking areas in good
order, condition and repair; together with all then-existing alterations, additions, and
improvements (collectively “Alterations”) which may have been made, in, to, or on the Premises
(except moveable trade fixtures installed at the expense of Tenant) except as referenced in
Paragraph 7 (“Alterations and Additions”), Tenant shall not be required to remove any Alterations
that are not subject to restoration pursuant to Landlord’s written Consent to Alterations agreement
to be executed by Tenant and Landlord for each request from Tenant to make Alterations to the
Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained or implied in the above, the Interior
Improvements constructed by Tenant pursuant to the Construction Agreement shall become a part of
the Premises upon installation and Tenant shall not be required or allowed to remove said Initial
Interior Improvements upon Lease Termination without Landlord’s written consent; however, Tenant
shall be responsible for any and all maintenance, repairs and/or replacements required during the
Lease Term. For all other such Alterations, Tenant shall ascertain from Landlord within thirty (30)
days before the end of the Term of this Lease whether Landlord desires to have the Premises or any
part or parts thereof restored to their condition and configuration as shown on Exhibit B
and if Landlord shall so desire, then at Tenant’s option and in Tenant’s sole and absolute
discretion, Tenant shall either (i) pay to Landlord a fee (“Restoration Fee”) in an amount equal to
Landlord’s reasonably estimated cost to restore the Premises to said configuration and condition
that existed upon the completion of Tenant’s Initial Interior Improvements and Other Tenant
Improvements as reflected on Exhibit B (“Restoration Work”) or (ii) Tenant shall
reconfigure and restore said Premises or such part or parts thereof before the end of this Lease at
Tenant’s sole cost and expense; provided, however, that in the event Landlord requires Tenant to
pay the Restoration Fee as noted in item (i) above, and Landlord does not complete all or a portion
of the Restoration Work as related to Alterations within twelve (12) months following the
Termination Date, Landlord agrees to refund to Tenant that portion of the Restoration Fee related
to the Alterations not so completed within said twelve (12) month period. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary above, Tenant shall be responsible for ensuring that all of Tenant’s Initial
Interior Improvements, as well as any future Alterations made during the Lease Term (including any
Extended Term(s)) comply with all applicable building codes and any other applicable governmental
and/or administrative rules, regulations and/or ordinances as of the date said (i) Initial Interior
Improvements and/or future Alterations are made and (ii) as of the Lease Termination Date. In the
event Tenant elects to pay for the cost of the restoration in lieu of completing the required
construction, the fee shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord regardless of whether or not Landlord
elects to restore all or part of said Premises. In the event Tenant elects to complete the
restoration and said restoration is not completed prior to the Termination Date, Tenant
acknowledges that Tenant shall enter into a Hold Over period pursuant to the terms of Lease
Paragraph 30 (“Holding Over”) and Tenant shall automatically be liable to Landlord for the monthly
Hold Over Basic Rent and all other Additional Rent until said restoration is completed by Tenant.
Prior to the Termination Date, as part of the surrender of Premises procedures, Landlord may elect
to have the Building systems inspected, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, including, but not
limited to the HVAC system, plumbing systems and roof, and Tenant shall be responsible for the cost
required to put the Premises into the condition required by this Paragraph. Tenant, on or before
the end of the Term or sooner termination of this Lease, shall remove all of Tenant’s personal
property and trade fixtures from the Premises, and all property not so removed on or before the end
of the Term or sooner termination of this Lease shall be deemed abandoned by Tenant and title to
same shall thereupon pass to Landlord without compensation to Tenant. Landlord may, upon
termination of this Lease, remove all moveable furniture and equipment so abandoned by Tenant, at
Tenant’s sole cost, and repair any damage caused by such removal at Tenant’s sole cost. Upon
surrender of the Premises to Landlord, Tenant shall provide Landlord with keys for all interior
locking doors and Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord the cost of Landlord re-keying (i) all exterior
doors (including
Initial: DWD/JA
Page 7 of 46
mechanical rooms) and (ii) all interior doors with locks to which Tenant is not
able to provide Landlord keys. If the Premises is not surrendered at the end of the Term or sooner
termination of this Lease, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against loss or liability resulting from
the delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Premises including, without limitation, any costs
associated with any judgment against Landlord in favor of any succeeding Tenant founded on such
delay. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as an extension of the Term hereof or as a
consent of Landlord to any holding over by Tenant. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease
or the Premises by Tenant or a mutual cancellation of this Lease shall not work as a merger and, at
the option of Landlord, shall either terminate all or any existing subleases or subtenancies or
operate as an assignment to Landlord of all or any such subleases or subtenancies.
6. “AS-IS” BASIS.
A. Leased on “As-Is” Basis. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease, it is
hereby agreed that the Premises leased hereunder is leased strictly on an “as-is” basis and in the
configuration as shown on Exhibit B to be attached hereto, and by reference made a part
hereof. Except as noted herein, it is specifically agreed between the parties Landlord shall not be
required to make, nor be responsible for any cost, in connection with any repair, restoration,
and/or improvement to the Premises in order for this Lease to commence, or thereafter, throughout
the Term of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary within this Lease, Landlord makes
no warranty or representation of any kind or nature whatsoever as to the condition or repair of the
Premises except as specifically set forth herein or in the Construction Agreement, nor as to the
use or occupancy which may be made thereof.

have been constructed pursuant to the approved plans and specifications and complied with all
building codes and ordinances applicable to the Premises at the time the Shell Improvements were
constructed.

| 4) | Landlord shall have the fire sprinkler lines within the Premises inspected for leaks, and shall have any necessary repairs completed. |
7. ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS. Except as noted herein, Tenant shall not make, or
suffer to be made, any Alterations to the Premises, or any part thereof, without the written
consent of Landlord first had and obtained by Tenant; such consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld and such consent to Alterations shall not be valid until such time as said consent is
executed by both Landlord and Tenant and a fully executed copy delivered by Landlord to Tenant
(“Consent to Alterations”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no consent shall be required for
certain Alterations listed in items (a), (b)
Initial: DWD/JA
Page 8 of 46
and (c) herein which Tenant may elect to make to the
Premises so long as such exempt Alterations meet the following conditions: (a) the replacement or
installation of carpet with a carpet quality equal to or greater than the original carpet installed
in the Premises; (b) the replacement and/or installation of new wall covering with a wall covering
quality equal to or greater than the original wall covering installed in the Premises; (c) the
painting of the interior of the Premises in a color matching the color approved by Landlord for the
original Tenant Improvements (individually and collectively “Exempt Alterations”); and (d)
cumulative other Alterations in a given calendar year to the interior improvements (independent of
those described in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above) which do not exceed a total cumulative cost of
Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) in a given calendar year during the
Term hereof; provided, however, the Exempt Alterations and other Alterations described in clauses
(a), (b), (c) and (d) above are not authorized without Landlord’s consent, unless all of the
following is true and correct as of the date of commencement of the work of installation of such
Exempt Alterations: (i) Tenant is not in default after the expiration of applicable cure periods
with respect to the terms of this Lease, (ii) no liens are filed on the Premises related to such
Exempt Alterations and/or Alterations; (iii) Tenant has provided Landlord with no less than ten
(10) days prior written notice that such work of Exempt Alterations and/or Alterations are
scheduled; (iv) Tenant has provided Landlord with a 1/8” scaled sepia or another electronic format
reflecting the Alterations to be made by Tenant upon completion of each such Exempt Alteration
and/or Alteration (provided, however, that such electronic format drawings shall be required for
any Alterations to the Building but not for Exempt Alterations); (v) Tenant has provided to
Landlord proof of payment and signed lien releases within thirty (30) days of the completion of
each such Exempt Alteration and/or other Alteration; (vi) Tenant has obtained and has provided to
Landlord copies of all required permits for such work of Exempt Alteration and/or other Alteration;
(vii) such work of Exempt Alteration and/or other Alteration must not be structural in nature or
impact or change the exterior of the Premises and/or Building; and (viii) Tenant complies with all
other terms of this Lease related to Alterations and surrender obligations.
Provided Tenant requests in writing a predetermination from Landlord on those Alterations requiring
Landlord’s prior written consent, said Consent to Alterations shall specify whether Landlord shall
require removal of said Alterations. Any Alteration of the Premises except moveable furniture and
trade fixtures, shall at once become a part of the Premises and belong to Landlord; however, all
improvements to the Premises paid for directly by Tenant shall remain the property of Tenant during
the Lease Term, for accounting purposes only, and Tenant shall have the right to depreciate the
same and claim and collect investment tax credits and all other tax savings with respect to such
improvements. Any such Alterations made by and/or requested by Tenant shall be paid for one
hundred percent (100%) by Tenant. Landlord reserves the right to reasonably approve all
contractors and mechanics proposed by Tenant to make such Alterations. As a pre-condition to
Landlord granting its consent to any Alterations, Tenant shall deliver plans and specifications
reflecting said Alterations for Landlord’s review and approval; and within fifteen (15) days of
completion of said Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an original 1/8” scaled sepia or
an other electronic format as solely determined by Landlord.
Tenant shall retain title to all moveable furniture and trade fixtures placed in the Premises. All
heating, lighting, electrical, air conditioning, security systems, floor to ceiling partitioning,
drapery, carpeting, and floor installations made by Tenant, together with all property that has
become an integral part of the Premises, shall not be deemed trade fixtures. Tenant agrees that it
will not proceed to make such Alterations, without having obtained consent from Landlord to do so,
and until five (5) business days from the receipt of such consent, in order that Landlord may post
appropriate notices to avoid any liability to contractors or material suppliers for payment for
Tenant’s Alterations. Tenant will at all times permit such notices to be posted and to remain
posted until the completion of work. As a condition of Landlord’s Consent to Alterations to the
Premises, after Landlord provides written Consent to Alterations and prior to any work commencing
on the Alterations, Landlord may, at its sole and absolute discretion, require Tenant to secure and
provide to Landlord at Tenant’s own cost and expense, a completion and lien indemnity letters of
credit, satisfactory to Landlord in the amount of one hundred percent (100%) of the cost to fund
the original construction of any Alterations (“Alteration Letter of Credit”). Said Alteration
Letter of Credit shall be kept in place for sixty (60) days after the completion of the initial
construction of said Alterations and until Tenant has provided Landlord with proof of payment to
respective vendors and copies of recorded full unconditional lien release related to the
Alterations and/or restoration work. Tenant further covenants and agrees that any mechanic’s lien
filed against the Premises for work claimed to have been done for, or materials claimed to have
been furnished to Tenant, will be discharged by Tenant, by bond or otherwise, within twenty (20)
days after notice of filing thereof, at the cost and expense of Tenant. Any exceptions to the
foregoing must be made in writing and executed by both Landlord and Tenant. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, Tenant shall be responsible for ensuring that all of Tenant’s
Initial Interior Improvements, as well as any future Alterations made during the Lease Term
(including any Extended Term(s)) comply with all building codes and any other applicable
governmental and/or administrative rules, regulations and/or ordinances then in effect as of the
date said Initial Interior Improvements and/or future Alterations are made.

8. TENANT MAINTENANCE. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, keep and maintain
the Premises (including appurtenances) and every part thereof in a good standard of maintenance and
repair, or replacement, and in good and sanitary condition and repair. Tenant’s maintenance,
repair and replacement responsibilities herein referred to include, but are not limited to,
janitorization, all windows (interior and exterior), window frames, plate glass and glazing
(destroyed by accident or act of third parties), truck doors, plumbing systems (such as water and
drain lines, sinks, toilets, faucets, drains, showers and water fountains), electrical systems
(such as panels, conduits, outlets, lighting fixtures, lamps, bulbs, tubes and ballasts), heating
and air conditioning systems (such as compressors, fans, air handlers, ducts, mixing boxes,
thermostats, time clocks, boilers, heaters, supply and return grills), structural elements and
exterior surfaces of the Building, store fronts, roofs, downspouts, all interior improvements
within the Premises including but not limited to wall coverings, window coverings, carpet, floor
coverings, partitioning, ceilings, doors (both interior and exterior), including closing
mechanisms, latches and locks, skylights (if any), automatic fire extinguishing systems, and
elevators and all other interior improvements of any nature whatsoever, and all exterior
improvements including but not limited to landscaping, sidewalks, driveways, parking lots including
striping and sealing, sprinkler systems, lighting, ponds, fountains, waterways, and drains. Tenant
shall be required to have the HVAC system serviced by a licensed HVAC contractor (approved by
Landlord) at the earlier frequency of (a) the periodic servicing recommended by the manufacturer of
such equipment in its written maintenance specifications or (b) semiannually throughout the Term of
the Lease, and shall submit to Landlord copies of all related service reports within thirty (30)
days of receipt and any repairs reports if requested by Landlord. Furthermore, Tenant shall inform
Landlord in writing of the periodic service recommendations by the respective manufacturer within
thirty (30) days of Tenant’s receipt of such information. Areas of excessive wear shall be
replaced at Tenant’s sole expense upon Lease termination. Tenant hereby waives all rights under,
and benefits of, Subsection 1 of Section 1932 and Section 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil
Code and under any similar law, statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.
Tenant understands and acknowledges that this Lease shall be deemed and construed to be a
“triple net lease” and during the Initial Term, and any Extended Term(s), of this Lease Tenant
shall pay Landlord, the Rent and other payments due hereunder, free of any charges, assessments,
impositions, expenses or deductions of any kind and without abatement, deduction or setoff unless
otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, and Landlord shall not be expected or required as a
result of the relationship between Landlord and Tenant created by this Lease, to be obligated to
make any payment to or on behalf of Tenant or be under any other obligation to Tenant hereunder
except to the extent specifically provided in this Lease, and Tenant agrees to pay all costs and
expenses of every kind which may arise or become due from Tenant under the provisions of this Lease
during the Initial Term and any Extended Term(s). Except as expressly provided in this Lease or
the Construction Agreement, Landlord shall not be liable and/or responsible under the provisions of
this Lease for contributing any money for any maintenance, repairs and/or replacement of the
Premises or any part thereof and as to the maintenance, repairs or replacement obligations of
Tenant under this Lease, Tenant waives any and all rights it might otherwise have to assert that
such expenditure is more appropriately a Landlord expenditure which should be treated as a capital
expenditure and/or to be amortized as an item of Additional Rent hereunder. For example, if during
the Lease Term (including any Extended Term(s)), a portion or the entire roof membrane and/or HVAC
system needs to be repaired or replaced, such expenditure shall not be treated as a capital
expenditure to be borne by Landlord, but rather Tenant shall be responsible, upon such occurrence,
for bearing the entire cost for such repair and/or replacement.
By placing their initials below, both parties acknowledge their understanding and their
agreement with the provisions of this Paragraph 8.

Structural Replacements to the Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Lease, if Tenant, in good faith, notifies Landlord that Tenant reasonably believes that structural
replacements are necessary (i.e. the shell, foundation and/or roof structure, but not the interior
improvements, roof membrane or glazing), Landlord (a) may challenge, in good faith, the necessity
of such structural replacements and/or (b) after reasonably determining that said structural
replacements are required (and provided said replacements are not required as a result in whole or
in part due to: (i) failure to maintain by Tenant and/or its subtenants/assignees, and/or (ii)
misuse, excessive use and/or damage by Tenant and/or its subtenants/assignees and/or their
respective employees, vendors, agents or visitors), Landlord will reasonably determine the proper
scope of structural replacements to be made and select and employ the licensed contractor to
perform such work. In such event, the cost of any such replacement (together with interest at the
rate of ten percent (10%) per annum on the unamortized balance) shall be amortized over the useful
life of the structural replacement (“Amortized Cost”) in accordance with standard accounting
practices and Tenant shall pay the Amortized Cost of said capital replacement monthly, in advance,
throughout the remaining Term and any Extended Term (if any). For example, in the event (i) the
entire
Initial: DWD/JA
Page 10 of 46
roof structure is replaced at a cost of $100,000; (ii) the estimated life of the new roof
structure is fifty (50) years; and (iii) there are sixty (60) months remaining in the Term at the
time of the roof structure replacement, Tenant shall be responsible for paying to Landlord $832.17
per month over the remaining Term, and in the event the Lease is extended, pursuant to the terms of
Paragraph 46 (“Two (2) Five (5) Year Options to Extend”) below or for any reason whatsoever, Tenant
shall continue to pay said $832.17 each month throughout the Extended Term; however, in no event
shall Tenant’s Amortized Cost exceed Landlord’s total cost and expense plus ten percent (10%)
interest per annum of said structural replacement.
9. UTILITIES. Throughout the Term of the Lease, Tenant shall be responsible for
paying, directly to the service provider, for all utilities servicing the Premises. Once the actual
Commencement Date is established, Landlord shall notify utility companies servicing the Premises
and request that Landlord’s accounts be closed as of the date which is thirty days following
Landlord’s notification (“Account Closure Date”), and Landlord concurrently shall notify Tenant of
the Account Closure Date. Tenant shall be responsible for contacting the service provider and
having all utilities servicing the Premises transferred into Tenant’s name prior to the Account
Closure Date in order to avoid the utilities to the Premises being terminated. Tenant understands
and acknowledges that Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant if the utilities to the Premises are
disconnected and/or terminated. Thereafter, Tenant shall pay promptly, as the same become due, all
charges for water, gas, electricity, telephone, telex and other electronic communication service,
sewer service, waste pick-up and any other utilities, materials or services furnished directly to
or used by Tenant on or about the Premises during the Term of this Lease, including, without
limitation, any temporary or permanent utility surcharge or other exactions whether or not
hereinafter imposed.
Landlord shall not be liable for and Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement or
reduction of Rent by reason of any interruption or failure of utility services to the Premises when
such interruption or failure is caused by (i) Tenant’s failure (a) to transfer said utilities into
its name and/or (b) to pay the respective utility bills by the respective due dates and/or (ii)
accident, breakage, repair, strikes, lockouts, or other labor disturbances or labor disputes of any
nature, or by any other cause, similar or dissimilar, beyond the reasonable control of Landlord.
10. TAXES.
A. Real Property Taxes. As Additional Rent and in accordance with Paragraph 4.D of this Lease,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord (or if Landlord so directs, directly to the Tax Collector prior to the
delinquency date) all Real Property Taxes relating to the Premises accruing with respect to the
Premises during the Term of this Lease and the Extended Term (if any). The term “Real Property
Taxes” shall also include supplemental taxes related to the period of Tenant’s Term whenever
levied, including any such taxes that may be levied after the Term as expired. In the event the
Premises leased hereunder consist of only a portion of the entire tax parcel, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, monthly in advance or as they become due, pursuant to statements submitted to Tenant by
Landlord, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of such real estate taxes allocated to the Premises by
square footage or other reasonable basis as calculated and determined by Landlord. If the tax
billing pertains 100% to the Premises, and Landlord chooses to have Tenant pay said real estate
taxes directly to the Tax Collector, then in such event Landlord agrees to obtain and forward to
Tenant the relevant tax and assessments bills and Tenant shall pay, prior to delinquency, the
applicable real property taxes and assessments pertaining to the Premises. The term “Real Property
Taxes”, as used herein, shall mean (i) all taxes, assessments, levies and other charges of any kind
or nature whatsoever, general and special, foreseen and unforeseen (including all installments of
principal and interest required to pay any general or special assessments for public improvements
and any increases resulting from reassessments caused by any change in ownership of the Premises)
now or hereafter imposed by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority or special district
having the direct or indirect power to tax or levy assessments, which are levied or assessed
against, or with respect to the value, occupancy or use of, all or any portion of the Premises (as
now constructed or as may at any time hereafter be constructed, altered, or otherwise changed) or
Landlord’s interest therein; any improvements located within the Premises (regardless of
ownership); the fixtures, equipment and other property of Landlord, real or personal, that are an
integral part of and located in the Premises; or parking areas, public utilities, or energy within
the Premises; (ii) all charges, levies or fees imposed by reason of environmental regulation or
other governmental control of the Premises, provided that such charges, levies or fees are not
imposed as a penalty for the specific acts of any third party not related to Tenant; and (iii) all
costs and fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Landlord in reasonably contesting
any Real Property Tax and in negotiating with public authorities as to any Real Property Tax. If
at any time during the Term of this Lease the taxation or assessment of the Premises prevailing as
of the Commencement Date of this Lease shall be altered so that in lieu of or in addition to any
Real Property Tax described above there shall be levied, assessed or imposed (whether by reason of
a change in the method of taxation or assessment, creation of a new tax or charge, or any other
cause) an alternate or additional tax or charge (i) on the value, use or occupancy of the Premises
or Landlord’s interest therein or
Initial: DWD/JA
Page 11 of 46
(ii) on or measured by the gross receipts, income or rentals from
the Premises, on Landlord’s business of leasing the Premises, or computed in any manner with
respect to the operation of the Premises, then any such tax or charge, however designated, shall be
included within the meaning of the term “Real Property Taxes” for purposes of this Lease. If any
Real Property Tax is based upon property or rents unrelated to the Premises, then only that part of
such Real Property Tax that is fairly allocable to the Premises shall be included within the
meaning of the term “Real Property Taxes.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Real Property
Taxes” shall not include estate, inheritance, gift or franchise taxes of Landlord or the federal or
state net income tax imposed on Landlord’s income from all sources.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above , it is agreed that if any special assessments for
capital improvements are assessed, and if Landlord has the option to either pay the entire
assessment in cash or go to bond, and if Landlord elects to pay the entire assessment in cash in
lieu of going to bond, the entire assessment assigned to Tenant’s Leased Premises will be amortized
over the same period that the assessment would have been amortized had the assessment gone to bond
(including interest) and Tenant shall pay the amortized amount over the Term remaining in the Lease
(including the Extended Lease Term if said Lease Term is extended for any reason whatsoever) as
Additional Rent on the first day of the remaining months in the Lease Term (as may be extended).
Tenant, at its cost, shall have the right at any time to seek a reduction in or otherwise contest
any Real Property Taxes which it is obligated to pay pursuant to this Article, by action or
proceeding against the entity with authority to assess or impose the same. Landlord shall not be
required to join in any proceeding or action brought by Tenant unless the provisions of applicable
laws or regulations require that such proceeding or action be brought by or in the name of
Landlord, in which event Landlord shall join in such proceeding or action or permit it to be
brought in Landlord’s name, provided that Tenant protect, indemnify, and hold Landlord free and
harmless from and against any actual, direct and out of pocket liability, cost or expense in
connection with such proceeding or contest. Tenant shall continue, during the pendency of such
proceeding or action, to pay the Taxes due pursuant to this Paragraph 10.A (“Taxes: Real Property
Taxes”) and/or Paragraph 4.D (“Rent: Additional Rent”) received by Landlord. If Tenant is
successful in such action or proceeding, Tenant shall be entitled to receive, and Landlord shall
remit to Tenant, the full amount of the net refund received by Landlord in Real Property Taxes for
the Leased Premises realized in such contest or proceeding within thirty (30) days after the amount
of such reduction has been determined.
B. Taxes on Tenant’s Property. Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay ten days before
delinquency, taxes levied against any personal property or trade fixtures placed by Tenant in or
about the Premises. If any such taxes on Tenant’s personal property or trade fixtures are levied
against Landlord or Landlord’s property or if the assessed value of the Premises is increased by
the inclusion therein of a value placed upon such personal property or trade fixtures of Tenant and
if Landlord, after written notice to Tenant, pays the taxes based on 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 within fifteen (15) days after demand, as the case may
be, repay to Landlord the taxes so levied against Landlord, or the proportion of such taxes
resulting from such increase in the assessment; provided that in any such event Tenant shall have
the right, in the name of Landlord and with Landlord’s full cooperation, to bring suit in any court
of competent jurisdiction to recover the amount of such taxes so paid under protest, and any amount
so recovered shall belong to Tenant.
11. ASSESSMENT CREDITS. The demised property herein may be subject to a special
assessment levied by the City in which the Premises are located as part of an Improvement District.
As a part of said special assessment proceedings (if any), additional bonds were or may be sold
and assessments were or may be levied to provide for construction contingencies and reserve funds.
Interest shall be earned on such funds created for contingencies and on reserve funds which will be
credited for the benefit of said assessment district. To the extent surpluses are created in said
district through unused contingency funds, interest earnings or reserve funds, such surpluses shall
be deemed the property of Landlord. Notwithstanding that such surpluses may be credited on
assessments otherwise due against the Premises, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent
if, and at the time of any such credit of surpluses, an amount equal to all such surpluses so
credited. For example: if (i) the property is subject to an annual assessment of $1,000.00, and
(ii) a surplus of $200.00 is credited towards the current year’s assessment which reduces the
assessment amount shown on the property tax xxxx from $1,000.00 to $800.00, Tenant shall, upon
receipt of notice from Landlord, pay to Landlord said $200.00 credit as Additional Rent.
12. LIABILITY INSURANCE. Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, agrees to keep in force during
the Term of this Lease a policy of commercial general liability insurance with combined single
limit coverage of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) per occurrence for bodily injury
and property damage occurring in, on or about the Premises, including parking and landscaped areas.
Such insurance shall be
Initial: DWD/JA
Page 12 of 46
primary and noncontributory as respects any insurance carried by Landlord.
The policy or policies effecting such insurance shall name Landlord, Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx, as Trustee
of the Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx Separate Property Trust dated July 20, 1977, as amended; the Xxxxxxx X.
Xxxxx Separate Property Trust; Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx as an individual; Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx, as Trustee under
the Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx Survivor’s Trust dated July 20, 1977, as amended; the Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx Survivor’s
Trust; Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx, as an individual; and any beneficiaries, trustees and successor trustees,
other partners or co-venturers of Landlord or said trusts as additional insureds (collectively
“Landlord Entities”), and shall insure any liability of the Landlord Entities, contingent or
otherwise, as respects acts or omissions of Tenant, its agents, employees or invitees or otherwise
by any conduct or transactions of any of said persons in or about or concerning the Premises,
including any failure of Tenant to observe or perform any of its obligations hereunder; shall be
issued by an insurance company authorized to transact business in the State of California; and
shall provide that the insurance effected thereby shall not be cancelled, except upon ten (10)
business days’ prior written notice to Landlord. The policy shall state that the insurer will
endeavor to mail thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any such cancellation to Landlord, but
failure to do so shall impose no obligation or liability of any kind upon the insurer.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Tenant is notified by the insurance company of such
cancellation, Tenant shall provide written notice to Landlord within five (5) days of its receipt
of such notification. Tenant’s insurance shall be primary as respects to the Landlord Entities, or
if excess, shall stand in an unbroken chain of coverage. In either event, any other insurance
maintained by the Landlord Entities shall be in excess of Tenant’s insurance and shall not be
called upon to contribute with any insurance required to be provided by Tenant. The required
insurance shall be reflected on a certificate of insurance of said policy, which certificate shall
be delivered to Landlord concurrently with Tenant’s return of this executed Lease to Landlord. If,
during the Term of this Lease, in the reasonable considered opinion of Landlord’s Lender, insurance
advisor, or counsel, the amount of insurance described in this Paragraph 12 is not adequate, Tenant
agrees to increase said coverage to such reasonable amount as Landlord’s Lender, insurance advisor,
or counsel shall deem adequate.
13. TENANT’S PERSONAL PROPERTY INSURANCE AND XXXXXXX’X COMPENSATION INSURANCE. Tenant
shall maintain a policy or policies of fire and property damage insurance in “Special Form” form
with a sprinkler leakage endorsement insuring the personal property, inventory, trade fixtures (and
leasehold improvements paid for by Tenant) within the Premises for the full replacement value
thereof. The proceeds from any of such policies shall be used for the repair or replacement of
such items so insured, unless the Lease is terminated following the occurrence of an event which,
pursuant to terms of this Lease, grants Tenant the right to terminate, in which event such proceeds
shall be the property of the Tenant.
Tenant shall also maintain a policy or policies of xxxxxxx’x compensation insurance and any
other employee benefit insurance sufficient to comply with all laws.
14. PROPERTY INSURANCE. Landlord shall purchase and keep in force, and as Additional
Rent and in accordance with Paragraph 4.D of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord (or
Landlord’s agent if so directed by Landlord) Tenant’s Proportionate Share (allocated to the
Premises by square footage or other equitable basis as calculated and reasonably determined by
Landlord) of the deductibles on insurance claims and the cost of, policy or policies of insurance
covering loss or damage to the Building (excluding routine maintenance and repairs and incidental
damage or destruction caused by accidents or vandalism for which Tenant is responsible under
Paragraph 8) in the amount of the full replacement value thereof, providing protection against
those perils included within the classification of “all risks” “special form” insurance and flood
and/or earthquake insurance, if available, plus a policy of rental income insurance in the amount
of one hundred (100%) percent of twelve (12) months Basic Rent, plus sums paid as Additional Rent.
If such insurance cost is increased due to Tenant’s use of the Premises, Tenant agrees to pay to
Landlord the full cost of such increase. Tenant shall have no interest in nor any right to the
proceeds of any insurance procured by Landlord for the Premises.
In addition and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Paragraph 14, each party to
this Lease hereby waives all rights of recovery against the other party or its officer, employees,
agents and representatives for loss or damage to its property or the property of others under its
control, arising from any cause insured against under the fire and extended “special form” property
coverage (excluding, however, any loss resulting from Hazardous Material contamination of the
Property) required to be maintained by the terms of this Lease to the extent full reimbursement of
the loss/claim is received by the insured party. Each party required to carry property insurance
hereunder shall cause the policy evidencing such insurance to include a provision permitting such
release of liability (“waiver of subrogation endorsement”); provided, however, that if the
insurance policy of either releasing party prohibits such waiver, then this waiver shall not take
effect until consent to such waiver is obtained. If such waiver is so prohibited, the insured
party affected shall promptly notify the other party thereof. In the event the waivers are issued
to the parties and are not valid under current policies and/or subsequent
Initial: DWD/JA
Page 13 of 46
insurance policies, the
non-complying party will provide, to the other party, thirty (30) days’ advance notification of the
cancellation of the subrogation waiver, in which case neither party will provide such subrogation
waiver thereafter and this paragraph will be null and void. The foregoing waiver of subrogation
shall not include any loss resulting from Hazardous Material contamination of the Property or any
insurance coverage relating thereto.
15. INDEMNIFICATION. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant and Tenant hereby waives
all claims against Landlord for any injury to or death of any person or damage to or destruction of
property in or about the Premises by or from any cause whatsoever, including, without limitation,
gas, fire, oil, electricity or leakage of any character from the roof, walls, basement or other
portion of the Premises but excluding, however, the willful misconduct or negligence of Landlord,
its agents, servants, employees, invitees or contractors of which negligence Landlord has knowledge
and reasonable time to correct. Except as to injury to persons or damage to property to the extent
arising from the willful misconduct or the uninsured ordinary negligence of Landlord, its agents,
servants, employees, invitees, or contractors, Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless from and defend
Landlord against any and all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, in connection
therewith, arising out of any injury to or death of any person or damage to or destruction of
property occurring in, on or about the Premises, or any part thereof, from any cause whatsoever,
accruing and/or occurring during the Term of this Lease. The provisions of this Paragraph 15 shall
survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.
16. COMPLIANCE. During the Term of this Lease, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense,
shall promptly comply with all laws, statutes, ordinances and governmental rules, regulations or
requirements now or hereafter in effect governing use or occupancy of the Premises; with the
requirements of any board of fire underwriters or other similar body now or hereafter constituted;
and with any direction or occupancy certificate issued pursuant to law by any public officer;
provided, however, that no such failure shall be deemed a breach of the provisions if Tenant,
immediately upon notification, commences to remedy or rectify said failure. The judgment of any
court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Tenant in any action against Tenant, whether
Landlord be a party thereto or not, that Tenant has violated any such law, statute, ordinance or
governmental rule, regulation, requirement, direction or provision, shall be conclusive of that
fact as between Landlord and Tenant. Subject to Landlord’s compliance obligations pursuant to the
specific provisions of this Lease, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply with any and
all requirements pertaining to said Premises, of any insurance organization or company, necessary
for the maintenance of reasonable fire and public liability insurance covering requirements
pertaining to said Premises. The provisions of this Paragraph 16 shall survive the expiration or
termination of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, Tenant shall be
responsible for ensuring that all of Tenant’s Initial Interior Improvements, as well as any future
Alterations made during the Lease Term (including any Extended Term(s)) comply with all applicable
building codes and any other applicable governmental and/or administrative rules, regulations
and/or ordinances as of the date said Initial Interior Improvements and/or future Alterations are
made.
Landlord agrees that in the event capital improvements are necessitated by any new laws, statutes,
ordinances or governmental rules, regulations, or requirements in effect after the Lease
Commencement Date, provided said capital improvements are not initiated as a result of (i) any
current and/or future improvements made by or for Tenant or (ii) any permit request made to a
governing agency by or for Tenant, and (a) the cost of said capital improvements is $20,000 or
less, Tenant shall pay said amount within thirty (30) days of receipt of the related statement from
Landlord; or (b) the cost of said capital improvements exceeds $20,000, Tenant shall pay $20,000 as
referenced above, and the balance of said capital improvement cost shall be amortized (together
with interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum) over the useful life of such improvement
(the “Amortized Capital Improvement Cost”) in accordance with standard accounting practices, and
Tenant shall be required to pay Landlord in monthly installments due on the first day of each month
over the remaining Term of the Lease, including the extended Term, if any, as of the date said
capital improvements are made with the following exception: Tenant will immediately pay 100
percent of the cost of required capital improvements related to Tenant’s use of the Premises and
resulting from (i) and (ii) above. For example, in the event (1) a capital improvement costing
$30,000 is required (which is not a result of items (i) and/or (ii) above), (2) the estimated life
of said capital improvement is fifteen (15) years, and (3) sixty (60) months remain in the Lease
term at the time of said capital improvement, Tenant shall be responsible for paying to Landlord
$20,000 due within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s receipt of an invoice from Landlord plus $106.57
per month over the sixty (60) months in the Lease Term then remaining, and in the event the Lease
is extended, pursuant to the terms of Paragraph 46 (“Two (2) Five (5) Year Options to Extend”)
below or for any reason whatsoever, Tenant shall continue to pay said $106.57 each month throughout
the Extended Term provided in no event shall Tenant’s total cost of the Amortized Capital
Improvement Cost exceed the cost of said item plus the interest required herein.
17. LIENS. Tenant shall keep the Premises free from any liens arising out of any work
performed, materials furnished or obligation incurred by Tenant. In the event that Tenant shall
not,
Initial: DWD/JA
Page 14 of 46
within twenty (20) days following notice of the imposition of such lien, cause the same to be
bonded with a bond in accordance with applicable California law sufficient to pay off such lien or
released of record, Landlord shall have, in addition to all other remedies provided herein and by
law, the right, but no obligation, to cause the same to be released by such means as it shall deem
proper, including payment of the claim giving rise to such lien. All sums paid by Landlord for
such purpose, and all expenses incurred by it in connection therewith, shall be payable to Landlord
by Tenant on demand with interest at the higher of the (i) prime rate of interest as quoted by the
Bank of America or (ii) Landlord’s borrowing rate (the “Interest Rate”). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Tenant, at its cost, shall have the right at any time to contest any such liens by
action or proceeding against the entity with authority to claim or impose the same; provided that
Tenant shall protect, indemnify, and hold Landlord free and harmless from and against any
liability, cost or expense in connection with such proceeding or contest; however, said lien must
be removed within the period referenced above.
18. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
A. Requirements. Except as noted herein, Tenant shall not assign, transfer, or hypothecate the
leasehold estate under this Lease, or any interest therein, and shall not sublet the Premises, or
any part thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, or suffer any other person or
entity to occupy or use the Premises, or any portion thereof, without, in each case, the prior
written consent of Landlord which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the
above, Tenant shall be limited to subleasing any part of the Premises to no more than four (4)
subtenants at any one point in time. Tenant may enter into an “occupancy license” arrangement with
respect to up to twenty percent (20%) of the floor area of the Premises to entities in a business
relationship with Tenant (“Business Partners”) under a License Agreement, so long as the area of
the Premises occupied by a Business Partner is not separately demised from the balance of the
Premises, and so long as Tenant provides Landlord with a written notice identifying such Business
Partner, including its legal notice address. Such a Business Partner shall be deemed to be an
approved subtenant under the provisions of this Paragraph 18 upon Tenant obtaining Landlord’s
written consent, which shall be executed by Tenant, Business Partner and Landlord. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, in no event shall said Business Partners exceed a total of four (4) such
parties at any point in time. Tenant shall not sublet the Premises without Landlord’s prior
written consent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld. Tenant’s failure to obtain
Landlord’s prior written consent before entering into any assignment, transfer and/or subletting
shall be considered a default under this Lease and Landlord shall retain all of its rights under
the Lease, including the right to elect, at Landlord sole and absolute discretion, to terminate
either the Lease and/or the related sublease. As a condition for granting its consent to any
assignment, transfer, or subletting, Landlord shall require: (i) the sublease be a triple net
sublease and that the basic rent due under any such sublease be no less than the then current
market rent for subleases with annual increases at the then prevailing market rent for subleases
(however, in the event Tenant is unable to reasonably obtain a market sublease rent, Landlord will
reasonably consider consenting to a below market sublease rent); (ii) the sublease shall require
that the security deposit due under the sublease be in the form of a letter of credit drawn upon an
institutional lender acceptable and accessible to Landlord in form and content reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord, with the letter of credit being assignable to Landlord, at no cost to
Landlord, upon notice to said financial institution of a default by Tenant under the Lease; (iii)
the sublease shall not provide for subtenant to have an option to extend the term of the sublease
or an option to expand the sublet space; and (iv) the Tenant shall pay to Landlord, monthly
throughout the term of any approved sublease, fifty percent (50%) of all rents and/or additional
consideration due Tenant from the assignees, transferees, or subtenants in excess of the Rent
payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder for the assigned, transferred and/or subleased space
(“Excess Rent”) (with said Excess Rent subject to the terms of Lease Paragraph 4.C (“Late Charge”)
and Lease Paragraph 21 (“Bankruptcy and Default); provided, however, that before payment to
Landlord of such Excess Rent, Tenant shall first be entitled to recover from such Excess Rent the
amount of (x) the reasonable leasing commission related to said transaction paid by Tenant to a
third party broker not affiliated with Tenant, and (y) only during the original Lease Term (i.e.,
fifteen (15) years, six (6) months and sixteen (16) days), Tenant’s direct out of pocket costs for
the respective subtenant’s interior improvements to the sublet premises specifically made for said
subtenant. Tenant shall, by twenty (20) days written notice, advise Landlord of its intent to
assign or transfer Tenant’s interest in the Lease or sublet the Premises or any portion thereof for
any part of the Term hereof. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of said written notice,
Landlord shall advise Tenant as to whether it consents to the proposed assignment or transfer or
whether it has elected to withhold its consent in accordance with this Paragraph 18. During the
Extended Lease Term, if any, Landlord may, in its sole discretion, elect to terminate this Lease as
to the portion of the Premises to be sublet as described in Tenant’s notice on the date specified
in Tenant’s notice by giving written notice of such election to terminate; provided, however, that
if the proposed assignment or transfer is equal to or greater than fifty percent (50%) of the total
square footage of the Leased Premises, and (x) if the sublease term dates as specified in Tenant’s
notice is during the initial Term of this Lease, then Landlord shall not have the option to
terminate this Lease or (y) if the sublease term dates as specified in Tenant’s notice is during
any extended Term of this Lease, then Landlord shall have the right, at its sole option, to
terminate this Lease. Tenant shall provide Landlord
Initial: DWD/JA
Page 15 of 46
with (a) a copy of the assignment and/or other
transfer agreement and a copy of the certification of the change in corporate identity from the
Secretary of State in the case of an assignment, or (b) a copy of the sublease in the case of a
sublease for Landlord’s review, and upon Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s request to sublease and/or
assign, Tenant and the assignee, transferee or subtenant shall execute Landlord’s standard written
consent. If this Lease shall terminate pursuant to the foregoing with respect to less than all the
Premises, the Rent, as defined and reserved hereinabove shall be adjusted on a pro rata basis to
the number of square feet retained by Tenant, and this Lease as so amended shall continue in full
force and effect and Landlord, at its cost and expense, shall separately demise the remaining
portion of the Premises leased to Tenant. In the event Tenant is allowed to assign, transfer or
sublet the whole or any part of the Premises, with the prior written consent of Landlord, no
assignee, transferee or subtenant shall assign or transfer this Lease, either in whole or in part,
or sublet the whole or any part of the Premises, without also having obtained the prior written
consent of Landlord. Notwithstanding the above, in no event shall Landlord consent to a
sub-sublease. A consent of Landlord to one assignment, transfer, hypothecation, subletting,
occupation or use by any other person shall not release Tenant from any of Tenant’s obligations
hereunder or be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent similar or dissimilar assignment,
transfer, hypothecation, subletting, occupation or use by any other person. Any such assignment,
transfer, hypothecation, subletting, occupation or use without such consent shall be void and shall
constitute a breach of this Lease by Tenant and shall, at the option of Landlord exercised by
written notice to Tenant, terminate this Lease. The leasehold estate under this Lease shall not,
nor shall any interest therein, be assignable for any purpose by operation of law without the
written consent of Landlord. As a condition to its consent, Landlord shall require Tenant to pay
all expenses in connection with any and all subleases and/or assignments and/or any amendments
related thereto, including but not limited to Landlord’s fees for the processing and administration
of the consent documentation and Landlord’s attorneys’ fees (if any), and Landlord shall require
Tenant’s subtenant, assignee or transferee (or other assignees or transferees) to assume in writing
all of the obligations under this Lease and for Tenant to remain liable to Landlord under the
Lease.
B. Grounds to Refuse Proposed Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant
agree that it shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to refuse to consent to a proposed assignment,
sublease or other transfer (“Proposed Transfer”) if the Premises or any other portion of the
Property would become subject to more restrictive additional or different Government Requirements
as a direct or indirect consequence of the Proposed Transfer and/or the Proposed Transferee’s use
and occupancy of the Premises. However, Landlord may, in its sole discretion, consent to such a
Proposed Transfer where Landlord is indemnified by Tenant and (i) the subtenant or (ii) the
assignee, in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord and/or to Landlord’s counsel, by Tenant
and/or Proposed Transferee from and against any and all costs, expenses, obligations and liability
arising out of the Proposed Transfer and/or the Proposed Transferee’s use and occupancy of the
Premises and the Property.
C. Voluntary Termination of Lease – Required Sublease Language. Any and all sublease
agreement(s) between Tenant and any and all subtenant(s) (“Subtenant”) (which agreements must be
consented to by Landlord, pursuant to the requirements of this Lease) shall contain the following
language, unless exempted pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph 18.C following the indented
language below:
“If Landlord and Tenant jointly and voluntarily elect, for any reason
whatsoever, to terminate the Master Lease prior to the scheduled Master Lease
termination date, then, if Landlord so elects, this Sublease (if then still in
effect) shall terminate concurrently with the termination of the Master Lease.
Subtenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that (1) the voluntary termination of
the Master Lease by Landlord and Tenant and the resulting termination of this
Sublease shall not give Subtenant any right or power to make any legal or equitable
claim against Landlord, including without limitation any claim for interference with
contract or interference with prospective economic advantage, and (2) Subtenant
hereby waives any and all rights it may have under law or at equity against Landlord
to challenge such an early termination of the Sublease, and unconditionally releases
and relieves Landlord, and its officers, directors, employees and agents, from any
and all claims, demands, and/or causes of action whatsoever (collectively,
“Claims”), whether such matters are known or unknown, latent or apparent, suspected
or unsuspected, foreseeable or unforeseeable, which Subtenant may have arising out
of or in connection with any such early termination of this Sublease. Subtenant
knowingly and intentionally waives any and all protection which is or may be given
by Section 1542 of the California Civil Code which provides as follows: “A general
release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to
exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must
have materially affected his settlement with debtor.
Initial: DWD/JA
Page 16 of 46
The term of this Sublease is therefore subject to early termination.
Subtenant’s initials here below evidence (a) Subtenant’s consideration of and
agreement to this early termination provision, (b) Subtenant’s acknowledgment that,
in determining the net benefits to be derived by Subtenant under the terms of this
Sublease, Subtenant has anticipated the potential for early termination, and (c)
Subtenant’s agreement to the general waiver and release of Claims above.
| Initials: | Initials: | ” | |||||
| Subtenant | Tenant | ||||||
Landlord agrees that in the event the Master Lease is terminated by Landlord due to an
uncured default of Tenant, Landlord will allow the then existing subtenant, but not a
Business Partner under a License Agreement, to continue to lease said sublet premises
provided it complies with all the terms and conditions of the Master Lease and meets all of
the conditions listed in (a) through (e) below:
(a) The subtenant leases one hundred percent (100%) of the Building and subtenant
occupies one hundred percent (100%) of the Building;
(b) The Basic and Additional Rent and Security Deposit required during the term of the
sublease commencing with the termination of this Lease will be the greater of (i) the
rates/amounts stated in the sublease; or (ii) the rates/amounts stated in this Lease;
(c) Any options to extend the term of the sublease or this Lease shall be null and
void;
(d) The subtenant’s financial condition shall be acceptable to Landlord at such time
as this Lease is terminated; and
(e) The subtenant has consistently performed as required under the terms of its
sublease and has not been in monetary default of its sublease, after the expiration of
applicable cure periods, for the prior twelve (12) months of its sublease term.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, in the event the Lease is terminated due to
bankruptcy or liquidation action or the assignment of or by Tenant for the benefit of
creditors, or any similar action undertaken by Tenant, or the insolvency of Tenant, the
above agreement to allow subtenant to remain shall be null and void.
D. State of Incorporation Change; Name Change. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
above, Tenant’s re-incorporation in another jurisdiction and/or the act of Tenant changing Tenant’s
legal name shall not be considered an assignment; however, (i) Tenant shall provide Landlord with
notice of such change in Tenant’s name and/or state of incorporation, which notice shall include a
copy of the certification from the Secretary of State and (ii) Tenant and Landlord shall execute
Landlord’s standard acknowledgement for any such change in Tenant’s name and/or state of
incorporation.
E. Permitted Transfers. In addition to and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
Paragraph 18.A above, and provided Tenant is not in default of this Lease beyond the applicable
cure period, Landlord hereby agrees to: (1) consent to Tenant’s assigning or subletting said Lease
to: (i) any parent or subsidiary corporation, or corporation with which Tenant merges or
consolidates provided that (a) said affiliate or successor owns all or substantially all of the
assets of Tenant, (b) the net worth of said parent or subsidiary corporation, or said corporation
has a net worth equal to or greater than Tenant’s net worth (x) at the time of Lease execution or
(y) at the time of such assignment, merger, or consolidation, whichever is greater or if said net
worth of the acquiring entity is not equal to or greater than Tenant’s net worth as provided for
above, but is reasonably deemed sufficiently creditworthy as determined by Landlord (hereinafter
referred to as “Net Worth Requirement”) (collectively “Permitted Transfers”), and (c) Tenant shall
give Landlord written notice at least fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of such
assignment, sublease, proposed purchase, merger or sale (if not prohibited by law, given applicable
disclosure and confidentiality requirements, or if prohibited by law, immediately after such
effective date); or (ii) any third party or entity to whom Tenant, as an ongoing concern, sells all
or substantially all of its assets; provided that (a) said affiliate or successor owns all or
substantially all of the assets of Tenant, (b) the acquiring corporation meets the Net Worth
Requirement prior to and after the merger, consolidation or acquisition (collectively “Permitted
Transfers”), and (c) Tenant shall give Landlord written notice at least fifteen (15) days prior to
the effective date of the proposed purchase, merger, consolidation or reorganization; and (2) waive
its right to terminate the Lease due to a Permitted Transfer. No such assignment or subletting
will release the Tenant from its liability and responsibility under this
Initial: DWD/JA
Page 17 of 46
Lease to the extent Tenant
continues in existence following such transaction. Notwithstanding the above, Tenant shall be
required to (a) give Landlord fifteen (15) days written notice prior to the effective date of such
assignment or subletting (unless a shorter time period is required pursuant to applicable
governmental regulations) to any Permitted Transferee, (b) execute Landlord’s consent document
prepared by Landlord reflecting the assignment or subletting and (c) pay Landlord’s costs for
processing said Consent prior to the effective date of said assignment or sublease. Nothing herein
shall be deemed to permit any Permitted Transferee to further assign this Lease or sublet all or
any portion of the Premises to any other party without Landlord’s prior written consent.
19. SUBORDINATION AND MORTGAGES. In the event Landlord’s title or leasehold interest
is now or hereafter encumbered by a deed of trust, upon the interest of Landlord in the Premises
and Building, to secure a loan from a lender (hereinafter referred to as “Lender”) to Landlord,
Tenant shall, at the request of Landlord or Lender, execute in writing an agreement (in form
reasonably acceptable to Tenant), subordinating its rights under this Lease to the lien of such
deed of trust, or, if so requested, agreeing that the lien of Lender’s deed of trust shall be or
remain subject and subordinate to the rights of Tenant under this Lease, provided that such Lender
agrees that Tenant’s possession under this Lease shall not be disturbed if Tenant is not in default
(and if in default, Tenant’s right to cure said default has not expired) and so long as Tenant
shall pay all Rent and observe and perform all of the provisions set forth in this Lease and any
subordination agreement shall reflect the agreement of the Lender to the same.
Landlord’s Waiver. Provided Tenant is not in default of this Lease, Landlord shall within ten
(10) business days of receipt of Tenant’s written request to Landlord to provide a waiver agreement
for Tenant’s leased and/or financed equipment (which request shall include a detailed itemization
of said leased and/or financed equipment to be referenced under said waiver), Landlord shall, after
its review and approval of said list, submit Landlord’s standard form waiver agreement (“Waiver
Agreement”) to Tenant and the respective third party for their execution; upon receipt of the fully
executed Waiver Agreement, Landlord shall execute and return Landlord’s Waiver Agreement to Tenant
within ten (10) business days thereafter.
20. ENTRY BY LANDLORD. Landlord reserves and shall at all reasonable times after at
least twenty four (24) hours notice (except in emergencies) have, subject to Tenant’s reasonable
security requirements and subject to Tenant’s restricted area requirements such as, by way of
example, the areas of the Premises such as “clean rooms” and areas in which manufacturing occurs,
where special clothing and entry procedures are required, the right to enter the Premises to
inspect them; to perform any services to be provided by Landlord hereunder; to make repairs or
provide any services to a contiguous tenant(s) (if any); to submit the Premises to prospective
purchasers, mortgagers or tenants; and to post notices of non-responsibility, if applicable, all
without abatement of Rent; provided, however that the business of Tenant shall be interfered with
to the least extent that is reasonably practical. Any entry to the Premises by Landlord in
accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph, shall not under any circumstances be construed or
deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into or a detainer of the Premises or an eviction, actual
or constructive, of Tenant from the Premises or any portion thereof.
21. BANKRUPTCY AND DEFAULT. The commencement of a bankruptcy action or liquidation
action or reorganization action or insolvency action or an assignment of or by Tenant for the
benefit of creditors, or any similar action undertaken by Tenant, or the insolvency of Tenant,
shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute a breach of this Lease by Tenant. If the trustee or
receiver appointed to serve during a bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, insolvency or similar
action elects to reject Tenant’s unexpired Lease, the trustee or receiver shall notify Landlord in
writing of its election within thirty (30) days after an order for relief in a liquidation action
or within thirty (30) days after the commencement of any action.
Within thirty (30) days after the court approval of the assumption of this Lease, the trustee
or receiver shall cure (or provide adequate assurance to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord
that the trustee or receiver shall cure) any and all previous defaults under the unexpired Lease
and shall compensate Landlord for all actual pecuniary loss and shall provide adequate assurance of
future performance under said Lease to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord. Adequate assurance
of future performance, as used herein, includes, but shall not be limited to: (i) assurance of
source and payment of Rent, and other consideration due under this Lease; (ii) assurance that the
assumption or assignment of this Lease will not breach substantially any provision, such as radius,
location, use, or exclusivity provision, in any agreement relating to the above described Premises.
Nothing contained in this section shall affect the existing right of Landlord to refuse to
accept an assignment upon commencement of or in connection with a bankruptcy, liquidation,
reorganization or insolvency action or an assignment of Tenant for the benefit of creditors or
other similar act. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed as giving or granting or
creating an equity interest in the demised Premises to Tenant. In no event shall the leasehold
estate under this Lease, or any interest
Initial: DWD/JA
Page 18 of 46
therein, be assigned by voluntary or involuntary
bankruptcy proceeding without the prior written consent of Landlord.
The failure to perform or honor any covenant, condition or representation made under this
Lease shall constitute a default under this Lease by Tenant upon expiration of the appropriate
grace period hereinafter provided. Tenant shall have a period of five (5) days from the date of
written notice from Landlord within which to cure any default in the payment of Rent or adjustment
thereto; however, Landlord has agreed, as an accommodation to Tenant, to provide Tenant with ten
(10) days versus five (5) days to cure a monetary default in the event Landlord gives Tenant
written notice “to pay or quit” (in which event said Lease would be terminated in the event Tenant
failed to pay such delinquent amount due within said ten (10) day period. Tenant shall have a
period of thirty (30) days from the date of written notice from Landlord within which to cure any
other non-monetary default under this Lease; provided, however, that with respect to non-monetary
defaults not involving Tenant’s failure to pay Basic Rent or Additional Rent, Tenant shall not be
in default if (i) more than thirty (30) days is required to cure such non-monetary default and (ii)
Tenant commences cure of such default as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving written
notice of such default from Landlord and thereafter continuously and with due diligence prosecutes
such cure to completion. Upon an uncured default of this Lease by Tenant, Landlord shall have the
following rights and remedies in addition to any other rights or remedies available to Landlord at
law or in equity:
(a) The rights and remedies provided for by California Civil Code Section 1951.2 including but
not limited to, recovery of the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent
for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of rental loss for the same
period that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided, as computed pursuant to subsection (b) of
said Section 1951.2. Any proof by Tenant under subparagraphs (2) and (3) of Section 1951.2 of the
California Civil Code of the amount of rental loss that could be reasonably avoided shall be made
in the following manner: Landlord and Tenant shall each select a licensed real estate broker in
the business of renting property of the same type and use as the Premises and in the same
geographic vicinity. Such two real estate brokers shall select a third licensed real estate
broker, and the three licensed real estate brokers so selected shall determine the amount of the
Rent loss that could be reasonably avoided from the balance of the Term of this Lease after the
time of award. The decision of the majority of said licensed real estate brokers shall be final
and binding upon the parties hereto. As part of such damages, Landlord shall have the right to
recover that portion of any leasing commission paid by Landlord in connection with this Lease
applicable to the unexpired Term of this Lease without double recovery.
(b) The rights and remedies provided by California Civil Code Section 1951.4, which allows
Landlord to continue the Lease in effect and to enforce all of its rights and remedies under this
Lease, including the right to recover Rent as it becomes due, for so long as Landlord does not
terminate Tenant’s right to possession; acts of maintenance or preservation, efforts to relet the
Premises, or the appointment of a receiver upon Landlord’s initiative to protect its interest under
this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant’s right to possession.
(c) The right to terminate this Lease by giving notice to Tenant in accordance with applicable
law.
(d) To the extent permitted by law, the right and power to enter the Premises and remove
therefrom all persons and property, to store such property in a public warehouse or elsewhere at
the cost of and for the account of Tenant, and to sell such property and apply such proceeds
therefrom pursuant to applicable California law. Landlord may from time to time sublet the
Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may extend beyond the Term of this
Lease) and at such Rent and such other terms as Landlord in its reasonable sole discretion may deem
advisable, with the right to make alterations and repairs to the Premises. Upon each subletting,
(i) Tenant shall be immediately liable to pay Landlord, in addition to indebtedness other than Rent
due hereunder, the reasonable cost of such subletting, including, but not limited to, reasonable
attorneys’ fees, and any real estate commissions actually paid, and the cost of such reasonable
alterations and repairs incurred by Landlord and the amount, if any, by which the Rent hereunder
for the period of such subletting (to the extent such period does not exceed the Term hereof)
exceeds the amount to be paid as Rent for the Premises for such period or (ii) at the option of
Landlord, rents received from such subletting shall be applied first to payment of indebtedness
other than Rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any costs of such
subletting and of such alterations and repairs; third, to payment of Rent due and unpaid hereunder;
and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future Rent as the
same becomes due hereunder. If Tenant has been credited with any Rent to be received by such
subletting under option (i) and such Rent shall not be promptly paid to Landlord by the
subtenant(s), or if such rentals received from such subletting under option (ii) during any month
be less than that to be paid during the month by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay any such
deficiency to Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. No taking
possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on its
Initial: DWD/JA
Page 19 of 46
part to terminate
this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant. Notwithstanding any such
subletting without termination, Landlord may at any time hereafter elect to terminate this Lease
for such previous breach.
(e) The right to have a receiver appointed for Tenant upon application by Landlord, to take
possession of the Premises and to apply any rental collected from the Premises and to exercise all
other rights and remedies granted to Landlord pursuant to subparagraph (d) above.
22. ABANDONMENT. Tenant shall not vacate or abandon the Premises at any time during
the Term of this Lease and if Tenant shall abandon, vacate or surrender said Premises to Landlord,
or be dispossessed by the process of law, any personal property belonging to Tenant and left on the
Premises shall be deemed to be abandoned, at the option of Landlord. Notwithstanding the above,
Tenant shall not be in default under the Lease if it leaves all or any part of Premises vacant so
long as (i) Tenant is performing all of its other obligations under the Lease including the
obligation to pay Rent (ii) Tenant provides on-site security during normal business hours for those
parts of the Premises left vacant, (iii) such vacancy does not materially and adversely affect the
validity or coverage of any policy of insurance carried by Landlord with respect to the Premises,
and (iv) the utilities and heating and ventilation systems are operated and maintained to the
extent necessary to prevent damage to the Premises or its systems.
23. DESTRUCTION. In the event the Premises are destroyed in whole or in part from any
cause, except for routine maintenance and repairs and incidental damage and destruction caused from
vandalism and accidents for which Tenant is responsible under Xxxxxxxxx 0, Xxxxxxxx may, at its
option:
(a) Rebuild or restore the Premises to their condition prior to the damage or destruction, or
(b) Terminate this Lease, in the event that (i) the Premises is damaged to the extent of fifty
percent (50%) or more of the replacement cost, exclusive of footings, foundations and floor slabs
and (ii) Landlord’s general contractor in charge of repair and restoration reasonably estimates
that the repair and restoration of such damaged area shall require more than one hundred eighty
(180) days following the date of such damage or destruction. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Landlord shall not have the right to terminate this Lease as provided in this subparagraph (b) if
Tenant, in the exercise of its sole discretion elects within fifteen (15) days after receipt of
Landlord’s termination notice to restore the Premises at Tenant’s sole cost. In the event Tenant
so elects, Tenant shall immediately undertake to restore the Premises to its condition existing as
of the date of the damage. Landlord shall make available to Tenant all proceeds of insurance
available as the result of the casualty, up to the amount of the restoration cost (net of the
deductible), and said proceeds shall be used to pay for the restoration of said Premises. Tenant
shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of each progress payment due to the contractor restoring the
Premises, and submit to Landlord a request for reimbursement which bears the same relationship to
the total amount of the progress payment in question as to the amount of the insurance proceeds so
received by Landlord. With each request for reimbursement, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a
copy of the related invoice(s), copies of the paid check(s) representing payment of said invoice(s)
and copies of conditional lien releases signed by the general contractor in charge of the
restoration. Provided Landlord has actually received insurance proceeds from the insurance
carrier, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant within fifteen (15) business days of receipt of all the
required documents its prorata share of said payment from the insurance proceeds received by
Landlord.
If Landlord does not give Tenant notice in writing within thirty (30) days from the
destruction of the Premises of its election to either rebuild and restore them, or to terminate
this Lease, Landlord shall be deemed to have elected to rebuild or restore them, in which event
Landlord agrees, at its expense except for any deductible, which, pursuant to the specific
provisions of this Lease, is the responsibility of the Tenant, promptly to rebuild or restore the
Premises to their condition prior to the damage or destruction. In any case, Tenant shall be
entitled to a reduction in Rent from the date of such damage or destruction, provided Tenant is not
using any portion of such damaged area, while such repair is being made, until the Premises are
restored, in the proportion that the area of the Premises rendered untenantable by such damage
bears to the total area of the Premises. If Landlord initially estimates that the rebuilding or
restoration will exceed 180 days or if Landlord does not complete the rebuilding or restoration
within one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of destruction (such period of time to be
extended for delays caused by the fault or neglect of Tenant or because of Acts of God, acts of
public agencies, labor disputes, strikes, fires, freight embargos, rainy or stormy weather,
inability to obtain materials, supplies or fuels, acts of contractors or subcontractors, or delay
of the contractors or subcontractors due to such causes or other contingencies beyond the control
of Landlord) (the “Allowed Restoration Period”), then, provided the Premises is damaged to the
extent of fifty percent (50%) or more of the replacement cost (exclusive of footings, foundations
and floor slabs), Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to
Landlord within five days following the date Tenant receives Landlord’s written notice stating that
the restoration will exceed the Allowed Restoration Period. If Landlord elects to terminate the
Initial: DWD/JA
Page 20 of 46
Lease early due to destruction as provided herein, Tenant shall not be liable for the insurance
deductible as it relates to the Premises; however if Tenant elects to terminate, Tenant shall
remain liable for payment of fifty percent (50%) of the insurance deductible as it relates to the
Premises. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord’s obligation to rebuild or
restore shall be limited to the Building and interior improvements constructed by Landlord as they
existed as of the Commencement Date of the Lease and shall not include restoration of Tenant’s
trade fixtures, equipment, merchandise, or any improvements, alterations or additions made by
Tenant to the Premises, which Tenant shall forthwith replace or fully repair at Tenant’s sole cost
and expense provided this Lease is not canceled according to the provisions above.
Unless this Lease is terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions, this Lease shall remain
in full force and effect. Tenant hereby expressly waives the provision of Section 1932,
Subdivision 2, in Section 1933, Subdivision 4 of the California Civil Code.
In the event the Lease is subsequently amended whereby Tenant is leasing less than one hundred
percent (100%) of said Building and in the event that the Building in which the Premises are
situated is damaged or destroyed to the extent of not less than fifty percent (50%) of the
replacement cost thereof, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease, whether the Premises be
injured or not. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord may terminate this Lease
in the event of an uninsured event or if insurance proceeds are insufficient to cover one hundred
percent of the rebuilding costs net of the deductible; provided, however, Tenant shall have the
right to elect, in its discretion, to pay such excess costs to Landlord (within 30 days of Tenant’s
receipt of an invoice from Landlord) and Landlord shall thereafter repair the Premises or require
Tenant to repair said Premises or Building as the case may be.
24. EMINENT DOMAIN. If all or any part of the Premises shall be taken by any public
or quasi-public authority under the power of eminent domain or conveyance in lieu thereof, this
Lease shall terminate as to any portion of the Premises so taken or conveyed on the date when title
vests in the condemnor, and Landlord shall be entitled to any and all payment, income, rent, award,
or any interest therein whatsoever which may be paid or made in connection with such taking or
conveyance, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or otherwise for the value of any
unexpired Term of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, any compensation
specifically awarded Tenant for loss of business, Tenant’s then unamortized share of the cost of
the Tenant Improvements paid for by Tenant, Tenant’s personal property, moving costs or loss of
goodwill, shall be and remain the property of Tenant.
If any action or proceeding is commenced for such taking of the Premises or any material part
thereof, or if Landlord is advised in writing by any entity or body having the right or power of
condemnation of its authorized election to condemn the Premises or any material part thereof, then
Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice thereof
within sixty (60) days of the date of receipt of said written advice, or commencement of said
action or proceeding, or taking conveyance, which termination shall take place as of the first to
occur of the last day of the calendar month next following the month in which such notice is given
or the date on which title to the Premises shall vest in the condemnor.
In the event of a partial taking or conveyance of the Premises, if the portion of the Premises
taken or conveyed is so substantial that the Tenant can no longer reasonably conduct its business,
Tenant shall have the privilege of terminating this Lease within ten (10) days from the date of
such taking or conveyance, upon written notice to the Landlord of its intention so to do, and upon
giving of such notice this Lease shall terminate on the earlier of the date by which Tenant was no
longer able to reasonably conduct its business provided the entity taking the Premises pays to
Landlord the difference in Rent that would otherwise be due Landlord for the period prior to the
expiration of the thirty (30) days from the date of taking, or that date which is thirty (30) days
from the date of such notice , and Tenant shall pay Rent from the date of such taking or conveyance
to the date of Lease termination.
If a portion of the Premises be taken by condemnation or conveyance in lieu thereof and
neither Landlord nor Tenant shall terminate this Lease as provided herein, this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect as to the part of the Premises not so taken or conveyed, and the
Rent herein shall be apportioned as of the date of such taking or conveyance so that thereafter the
Rent to be paid by Tenant shall be in the ratio that the area of the portion of the Premises not so
taken or conveyed bears to the total area of the Premises prior to such taking.
25. SALE OR CONVEYANCE BY LANDLORD. In the event of a sale or conveyance of the
Premises or any interest therein, by any owner of the reversion then constituting Landlord, then,
upon the written assumption of Landlord’s rights and obligations under this Lease, the transferor
shall thereby be released from any further liability upon any of the terms, covenants or conditions
(express or implied) herein contained in favor of Tenant, and in such event, insofar as such
transfer is concerned, Tenant agrees to look solely to the responsibility of the successor in
interest of such transferor in and to the
Initial: DWD/JA
Page 21 of 46
Premises and this Lease for any obligations of Landlord
first accruing after the date of such transfer, unless the successor in interest has also agreed in
writing to assume any prior obligations of Landlord, in which event Tenant shall look to the
successor in interest for any obligations of Landlord that may have accrued prior to as well as
after said sale or conveyance by Landlord. This Lease shall not be affected by any such sale or
conveyance, and Tenant agrees to attorn to the successor in interest of such transferor.
26. ATTORNMENT TO LENDER OR THIRD PARTY. In the event the interest of Landlord in the
Premises and Building (whether such interest of Landlord is a fee title interest or a leasehold
interest) is encumbered by deed of trust, and such interest is acquired by the lender or any third
party through judicial foreclosure or by exercise of a power of sale at private trustee’s
foreclosure sale, Tenant hereby agrees to attorn to the purchaser at any such judicial foreclosure
or foreclosure sale and to recognize such purchaser as the Landlord under this Lease. In the event
the lien of the deed of trust securing the loan from a Lender to Landlord is prior and paramount to
the Lease, this Lease shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect for the remainder of the
unexpired Term hereof, at the same rental herein reserved and upon all the other terms, conditions
and covenants herein contained. In addition to and not withstanding anything to the contrary
above, this Lease shall bind any successor in interest to Landlord, including any party foreclosing
any security interest to which the Premises may be subject, including foreclosure by judicial
process and sale under any power provided in any deed of trust, and Tenant shall not be required to
waive any right herein provided.
27. HOLDING OVER. Any holding over by Tenant after expiration or other
termination of the Term of this Lease shall not constitute a renewal or extension of the Lease or
give Tenant any rights in or to the Premises except as expressly provided in this Lease. Any
holding over after the expiration or other termination of the Term of this Lease shall be construed
to be a tenancy at sufferance, on the same terms and conditions herein specified insofar as
applicable except that the monthly Basic Rent shall be increased to an amount equal to one hundred
seventy-five percent (175%) of the monthly Basic Rent required during the last month of the Term;
provided, however, that the monthly Rent shall be prorated based on the actual number of days in
the month for any partial month of the holding over. Holding over conduct within the meaning of
the Lease and this Paragraph 27 shall also include the failure by Tenant to surrender the Premises
on the Termination Date in the physical condition described in Paragraphs 5 (“Acceptance and
Surrender of Premises”), 7 (“Alterations and Additions”) and 8 (“Tenant Maintenance”) and/or any
Consents to Modifications/Alterations (if any) for which conduct Tenant shall be subject to the
Hold Over Basic Rent under this paragraph until the Premises is restored to the condition required
under this Lease.
28. CERTIFICATE OF ESTOPPEL. Tenant shall at any time within ten (10) days of receipt
of prior written notice from Landlord execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an estoppel
statement in writing (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or,
if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease, as so
modified, is in full force and effect) and the date to which the Basic Rent and other charges are
paid in advance, if any, and (ii) acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant’s knowledge, any
uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder, or specifying such defaults, if any, are
claimed. Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by any prospective purchaser or
encumbrancer of the Premises. Tenant’s failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be
conclusive upon Tenant that this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as
may be represented by Landlord; that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance, and
that not more than one month’s Basic Rent, if any, has been paid in advance.
29. CONSTRUCTION CHANGES. Landlord does not guarantee the accuracy of any drawings
supplied to Tenant and verification of the accuracy of such drawings rests with Tenant.
30. RIGHT OF LANDLORD TO PERFORM. All terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease
to be performed or observed by Tenant shall be performed or observed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole
cost and expense and without any reduction of rent. If Tenant shall fail to timely pay any sum of
money, or other Rent, required to be paid by it hereunder and such failure shall continue for five
(5) days after written notice thereof by Landlord or shall fail to perform any other term or
covenant hereunder on its part to be performed, and such failure shall continue for thirty (30)
days after written notice thereof by Landlord (or such longer grace period as provided under
Paragraph 21), Landlord, without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligation of Tenant
hereunder, may, but shall not be obliged to, make any such payment or perform any such other term
or covenant on Tenant’s part to be performed. All sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary costs
of such performance by Landlord together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate (as defined in
Paragraph 17 (“Liens”) above) from the date of such payment or performance by Landlord, shall be
paid (and Tenant covenants to make such payment) to Landlord within five (5) business days after
demand by Landlord, and Landlord shall have (in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord)
the same rights and remedies in the event of nonpayment by Tenant as in the case of failure by
Tenant in the payment of Rent hereunder.

31. ATTORNEYS’ FEES.
A. In the event that either Landlord or Tenant should bring suit for the possession of the
Premises, for the recovery of any sum due under this Lease, or because of the breach of any
provision of this Lease, or for any other relief against the other party hereunder, then all costs
and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the prevailing party therein shall
be paid by the other party, which obligation on the part of the other party shall be deemed to have
accrued on the date of the commencement of such action.
B. Should Landlord be named as a defendant in any suit brought against Tenant in connection
with or arising out of Tenant’s occupancy hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord its costs and
expenses incurred in such suit, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.
32. WAIVER. The waiver by either party of the other party’s failure to perform or
observe any term, covenant or condition herein contained to be performed or observed by such
waiving party shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant or condition or of any
subsequent failure of the party failing to perform or observe the same or any other such term,
covenant or condition therein contained, and no custom or practice which may develop between the
parties hereto during the Term hereof shall be deemed a waiver of, or in any way affect, the right
of either party to insist upon performance and observance by the other party in strict accordance
with the terms hereof.
33. NOTICES. All notices, demands, requests, advices or designations which may be or
are required to be given by either party to the other hereunder shall be in writing and shall be
delivered as follows:
To Tenant: All notices, demands, requests, advices or designations by Landlord to Tenant

received on the date of the personal service or receipt or refusal to accept receipt of the mailing
thereof in the manner herein provided, as the case may be. Either party shall have the right, upon
ten (10) days written notice to the other, to change the address as noted herein; however, Landlord
shall send Tenant notices to only one address of Tenant as identified above.
34. EXAMINATION OF LEASE. Submission of this instrument for examination or signature
by Tenant does not constitute a reservation of or option for a lease, and this instrument is not
effective as a lease or otherwise until its execution and delivery by both Landlord and Tenant.
35. DEFAULT BY LANDLORD. Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord fails to
perform obligations required of Landlord within a reasonable time, but in no event earlier than
(30) days after written notice (except in the case of an emergency) by Tenant to Landlord and to
the holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises whose name and address
shall have heretofore been furnished to Tenant in writing, specifying wherein Landlord has failed
to perform such obligations; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligations is
such that more than thirty (30) days are required for performance, then Landlord shall not be in
default if Landlord commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter
diligently prosecutes the same to completion.

representations and warranties set forth in Paragraph 40 (“Authority to Execute”) below, represents

Tenant in accordance with the by-laws of said corporation and that this Lease is binding upon said

38. SIGNS. No sign, placard, picture, advertisement, name or notice shall be
inscribed, displayed or printed or affixed on or to any part of the outside of the Building or any
exterior windows of the Building without the written consent of Landlord first had and obtained and
Landlord shall have the right to remove any such sign, placard, picture, advertisement, name or
notice without notice to Tenant and at the expense of Tenant. If Tenant is allowed to print or
affix or in any way place a sign in, on, or about the Premises, upon expiration or other sooner
termination of this Lease, Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense shall both remove such sign and
repair all damage in such a manner as to restore all aspects of the appearance of the Premises to

All approved signs and/or lettering on sign monuments shall be printed, painted, affixed or

Tenant shall not place anything or allow anything to be placed near the glass of any window,

40. AUTHORITY TO EXECUTE. The parties executing this Lease hereby warrant and
represent that they are properly authorized to execute this Lease and bind the parties on behalf of
whom they execute this Lease and to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease as

41. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Landlord and Tenant agree as follows with respect to the
existence or use of “Hazardous Materials” (as defined herein) on, in, under or about the Premises
and real property located beneath said Premises, which includes the entire parcel of land on which
the Premises are located as shown in Green on Exhibit A attached hereto (hereinafter
collectively referred to as the “Property”):
A. As used herein, the term “Hazardous Materials” shall mean any material, waste, chemical,
mixture or byproduct which is or hereafter is defined, listed or designated under Environmental
Laws (defined below) as a pollutant, or as a contaminant, or as a toxic or hazardous substance,
waste or material, or any other unwholesome, hazardous, toxic, biohazardous, or radioactive
material, waste, chemical, mixture or byproduct, or which is listed, regulated or restricted by any
Environmental Law (including, without limitation, petroleum hydrocarbons or any distillates or
derivatives or fractions thereof, polychlorinated biphenyls, or asbestos). As used herein, the
term “Environmental Laws” shall mean any applicable Federal, State of California or local
government law (including common law), statute, regulation, rule, ordinance, permit, license,
order, requirement, agreement, or approval, or any determination, judgment, directive, or order of
any executive or judicial authority at any level of Federal, State of California or local
government (whether now existing or subsequently adopted or promulgated) relating to pollution or
the protection of the environment, ecology, natural resources, or public health and safety.
B. Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s written consent, which may reasonably be withheld in
Landlord’s discretion, prior to the occurrence of any Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Activities
(defined below) (and Tenant shall first provide Landlord with a list of said materials used and
specify the location in the Premises where said materials are used and stored, the method of
storage and disposal of the same, and a copy of the related permits). Landlord’s consent shall not
be required for normal use in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws of customary household
and office, such as mild cleaners, lubricants and copier toner. Tenant has informed Landlord that
Tenant, after obtaining applicable government agency use permits and providing a copy of the same
to Landlord, shall use and store certain Hazardous Materials in the Premises (hereinafter,
collectively, referred to as “Disclosed Hazardous Materials”). Prior to the occurrence of any
Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Activities (defined below), Tenant shall provide Landlord with a list
of Hazardous Materials to be used in the Premises, and a copy of the related permits, the Hazardous
Materials Use Plan, including the method of storage and disposal of said Hazardous Materials and a
floor plan reflecting where the Hazardous Materials shall be used and stored in the Premises.
Provided Tenant obtains the required permits and complies with the permit requirements and the
terms and conditions stated herein, Landlord does not object to Tenant’s use of such Disclosed
Hazardous Materials. As used herein, the term “Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Activities” shall mean
any and all use, handling, generation, storage, disposal, treatment, transportation, release,
discharge, or emission of any Hazardous Materials on, in, beneath, to, from, at or about the
Property, or by Tenant or by any of Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors, vendors, invitees,
visitors or its future subtenants or assignees. Tenant agrees that any and all Tenant’s Hazardous
Materials Activities shall be conducted in strict, full compliance with applicable Environmental
Laws at Tenant’s expense, and shall not result in any contamination of the Property or the
environment. Tenant shall not discharge any Hazardous Materials in the plumbing, sewer and/or
storm drains in the Premises and/or Parcel. Tenant agrees to provide Landlord with prompt
written notice of any spill or release of Hazardous Materials at the Property during the Term of
the Lease of which Tenant becomes aware, and further agrees to provide Landlord with prompt written
notice of any violation of Environmental Laws in connection with Tenant’s Hazardous Materials
Activities of which Tenant becomes aware. If Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Activities involve
Hazardous Materials other than normal use of customary household and office supplies, Tenant also
agrees at Tenant’s expense: (i) provide Landlord with a written inventory of such Hazardous
Materials, including an annual update of same each year upon the anniversary date of the
Commencement Date of the Lease (“Anniversary Date”) (the report to be provided to Landlord can be a
governmental required report provided said report provides the information required herein); and
(ii) on each Anniversary Date, to retain a qualified environmental consultant, acceptable to
Landlord, to evaluate whether Tenant is in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws with
respect to Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Activities. Tenant, at its expense, shall submit to
Landlord a report from such
Initial: DWD/JA
Page 25 of 46
environmental consultant which discusses the environmental consultant’s
findings within two (2) months of each Anniversary Date. Tenant, at its expense, shall promptly
undertake and complete any and all steps necessary, and in full compliance with applicable
Environmental Laws, to fully correct any and all problems or deficiencies identified by the
environmental consultant, and promptly provide Landlord with documentation of all such corrections.
C. Prior to termination or expiration of the Lease, Tenant, at its expense, shall (i) properly
remove from the Property all Hazardous Materials which come to be located at the Property in
connection with Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Activities, and (ii) fully comply with and complete
all facility closure requirements of applicable Environmental Laws regarding Tenant’s Hazardous
Materials Activities, including but not limited to (x) properly restoring and repairing the
Property to the extent damaged by such closure activities, and (y) obtaining from the local Fire
Department or other appropriate governmental authority with jurisdiction a written concurrence that
closure has been completed in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws. Tenant shall promptly
provide Landlord with copies of any claims, notices, work plans, data and reports prepared,
received or submitted in connection with any such closure activities.
D. If Landlord, in its sole discretion, reasonably believes that the Property has become
contaminated as a result of Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Activities, Landlord in addition to any
other rights it may have under this Lease or under Environmental Laws or other laws, may enter upon
the Property subject to the entry provisions of Paragraph 20 (“Entry by Landlord”) and conduct
inspection, sampling and analysis, including but not limited to obtaining and analyzing samples of
soil and groundwater, for the purpose of determining the nature and extent of such contamination.
Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for the costs of such an investigation, including but not
limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees Landlord incurs with respect to such investigation, that
discloses Hazardous Materials contamination for which Tenant is liable under this Lease.
Notwithstanding the above, Landlord may, at its option and in its sole and absolute discretion,
choose to perform remediation and obtain reimbursement for cleanup costs as set forth herein from
Tenant. Any cleanup costs incurred by Landlord as the result of Tenant’s Hazardous Materials
Activities shall be reimbursed by Tenant within thirty (30) days of presentation of written
documentation of the expense to Tenant by Landlord. Such reimbursable costs shall include, but not

It is agreed that the Tenant’s responsibilities related to Hazardous Materials will commence on the
date Tenant commences the Interior Improvements and will survive the expiration or termination of
this Lease and that Landlord may obtain specific performance of Tenant’s responsibilities under
this Paragraph 41. As of the Commencement Date of this Lease, to the best of Landlord’s actual
knowledge, the Premises are free from contamination by any Hazardous Materials other than those
referenced in Exhibit D (“Reports”).
42. BROKERS. Each party represents and warrants that it has not dealt with any real
estate brokers, agents, or finders in connection with this Lease, and knows of no real estate
broker, agent or finder who is entitled to a commission in connection with this Lease (“Lease
Commission”), except as follows: Xxxx Xxxxxxx of CRESA Partners, whose Lease Commission shall be
paid by Landlord in accordance with Landlord’s standard commission policy. Each party agrees to
defend, protect, indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against all claims for Lease
Commissions, finder’s fees, and other compensation made by any other broker, agent, or finder as
consequence of such parties’ actions or dealings with such other broker, agent or finder (other
than Xxxx Xxxxxxx of CRESA Partners, in the case of Landlord or Tenant). The parties hereto
acknowledge that Landlord will not pay an additional Lease Commission to Xxxx Xxxxxxx, CRESA
Partners or to any other broker in the event (i) the original Term of this Lease is extended or the
square footage leased hereunder is increased for any reason whatsoever, or (ii) Tenant exercises
its Option to Lease adjacent property pursuant to Paragraph 47 (“Option to Lease Adjacent
Property”).

the date of this Lease, Tenant’s current prorata share of the Association Dues is currently
estimated at Fifty-Four and 33/100 Dollars ($54.33) per month and is subject to adjustment as
provided for by said Association. Said Association Dues are payable by Tenant to Landlord as

will not be a direct member of the Association.
44. LEASE TERMS CO-TERMINOUS: It is acknowledged that (i) concurrently with the
execution of this Lease for Building 5, Landlord and Tenant are also executing a separate lease
agreement dated May 16, 2005 (hereinafter referred to as the “Building 6 Lease”) affecting adjacent
property located at 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx and an Option Agreement (as
referenced in Paragraph 47 (“Option to Lease Adjacent Property”) below and (ii) it is the intention
of the parties that the Termination Date of this Lease be co-terminous with the term of the
Building 6 Lease such that the terms of both leases expire on the same date, subject however to the
early termination of this Lease resulting from the terms and conditions stated under Paragraph 21
(“Bankruptcy and Default”) and Landlord’s option to terminate the Building 6 Lease as stated in
Paragraph 45 (“Cross Default”). It is agreed to by the parties hereto that a termination of this
Lease resulting from Paragraph 23 (“Destruction”) or Paragraph 24 (“Eminent Domain”) shall not
result in a termination of the Building 6 Lease, unless Landlord elects, at its sole and absolute
discretion, to terminate both of the leases. In the event Tenant exercises its Option to Lease
Building 3 pursuant to the Option Agreement , the Term of this Lease and the Building 6 Lease shall
be co-terminous with the Building 3 Lease entered into pursuant to the Option as referenced in
Paragraph 47 (“Option to Lease Adjacent Property”).
45. CROSS DEFAULT: As a material part of the consideration for the execution of this
Lease by Landlord, it is agreed between Landlord and Tenant that a default under this Lease, or a
default under Building 6 Lease may, at the option of Landlord, be considered a default under both
leases, in which event Landlord shall be entitled (but in no event required) to apply all rights
and remedies of Landlord under the terms of one lease to both leases including, but not limited to,
the right to terminate one or both of said leases by reason of a default under said Building 6
Lease or hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, in the event Tenant exercises
its Option to Lease the Option Property pursuant to the Option Agreement, as long as this Lease and
the Option Building Lease are owned by the same entity (or by affiliates or the heirs of Landlord
hereunder), the cross default provisions of this Paragraph 45 shall
also apply to the Option Building Lease entered into pursuant to the Option as referenced in
Paragraph 47 (“Option to Lease Adjacent Property”).

the arbitrators may only select Landlord’s or Tenant’s determination of Market Basic Rent Rate and
shall not be entitled to make a compromise determination.

47. OPTION TO LEASE ADJACENT PROPERTY: Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Lease and the Option Agreement dated May 16, 2005 (the “Option Agreement”), it is acknowledged that
Landlord has granted Tenant an option to lease (i) one (1) parcel on which one (1) cold shell of
approximately 111,000 ± square feet shall be constructed by Landlord, or (ii) two (2) parcels on
which two (2) cold shells shall be constructed by Landlord, or (iii) two (2) combined parcels on
which one (1) cold
shell shall be constructed by Landlord (“Option Property”) pursuant to the Option Agreement.
Said parcels are adjacent to the Building 5 and 6 Leases. Tenant has requested that either (i) one
(1) building be constructed on Parcel 1 (“Building 3”), or (ii) two (2) separate buildings be
constructed on Parcel 1 and Parcel 2 respectively (“Buildings 3 and 4”), or (iii) in lieu of two
(2) separate buildings being constructed on the Option Property, that Parcel 1 and Parcel 2 be
combined and that one (1) building be constructed on the combined parcels (“Building 3A”).
Landlord has agreed to accommodate Tenant’s request to construct one (1) building/Building 3A of no
less than 150,000 ± square feet and no more than 160,000 ± square feet on the combined Parcels 1 and
2 provided (i) approval can be obtained from the City of Fremont and the governing agencies, and
(ii) subject to any and all Public Agency restrictions and requirements (items (i) and (ii)
collectively hereinafter referred to as “Public Agency Requirements”); however, in no event will
Landlord agree to construct a building of less than 150,000 square feet if said Parcels 1 and 2 are
combined. In the event Tenant exercises its Option only on (a) Building 3/Parcel 1, or (b)
Building 3/Parcel 1 and Building 4/Parcel 2, whereby Parcels 1 and 2 will not be combined, the
approximate size of the building to be constructed (a) on Parcel 1/Building 3 shall be
approximately 111,000± square feet two-story building and (b) on Parcel 2/Building 4 shall be
39,000± square feet one-story building, subject to all Public Agency Requirements.
The initial term of said Option Property lease for either (i) Building 3/Parcel 1, or (ii) Building
3/Parcel 1 and Building 4/Parcel 2, or (iii) Building 3A/combined Parcels 1 and 2 shall
be for a term of fifteen (15) years with two (2) — five (5) year options to extend said term (the
“Option”). The option parcels are Parcel 1: Assessor’s Parcel Number 000-000-000 shown in Purple
Crosshatch on Exhibit A attached hereto, and Parcel 2: Assessor’s Parcel Number 000-000-000
shown in Orange Crosshatch on Exhibit A attached hereto. It is the intention of the
parties that the Term of this Lease and the Building 6 Lease be co-terminous with the Term of the
Option Property Leases such that the terms of all three (3) leases are scheduled to expire on the
same date. The (i) Building 5 Lease and the Building 6 Lease are hereinafter collectively referred
to as the “Initial Leases”; (ii) the (a) Building 3 Lease, (b) Building 3 and 4 Leases, or (c)
Building 3A Lease, as the case may be, is hereinafter referred to as the “Option Lease;” and (iii)
the Initial Leases (Buildings 5 and 6 Leases) and the Option Lease(s) are hereinafter collectively
referred to as the “Leases”. Tenant understands that it can exercise its Option on either (i)
Parcel 1/Building 3, (ii) Parcel 1/Building 3 and Parcel 2/Building 4 or (iii) on the combined
Parcels 1 and 2/Building 3A (but cannot exercise its Option only on Parcel 2/Building 4). In the
event Tenant exercises its Option (pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Option Agreement),
it is hereby agreed that following the Lease Commencement Date of the Option Lease, the Term of
this Lease and the Building 6 Lease shall be extended such that the scheduled Termination Dates of
the Initial Leases coincide with the scheduled termination date of the Option Lease (“Initial Lease
Term Extension Period”). As soon as the Commencement Date of the Option Lease has been determined,
the parties shall execute an amendment to said Initial Leases (i) memorializing the extension of
the term of said Initial Leases to be co-terminous with the initial scheduled termination date of
the Option Lease and (ii) adjusting the Options to Extend periods in the Initial Leases as
referenced in Paragraph 46 (“Two (2) — Five (5) Year Options to Extend”) accordingly to coincide
with dates and periods referenced in the options to extend the Option Lease. The monthly Basic
Rent on this Lease and the Building 6 Lease during the Initial Lease Term Extension Period shall be
the last full monthly Basic Rent scheduled in the Initial Term increased by 3% on the commencement
date of said Extension Period (i.e., November 1, 2020) and on each anniversary date thereafter in
the Initial Lease Term Extension Period.
For example, if the Option Lease commences on November 1, 2008, and this Lease is scheduled to
terminate on November 30, 2020, (i) the Initial Term of this Lease shall be extended by three years
to November 30, 2023, and (ii) the per square foot monthly Basic Rent during the first year
(December 1, 2020 through November 30, 2021) of the Initial Lease Term Extension Period (December
1, 2020 through November 30, 2023) shall be $3.661 per square foot ($3.555 per square foot x 3%),
and (iii) said per square foot monthly Basic Rent shall increase by 3% each year thereafter during
the Initial Lease Term Extension Period through November 30, 2023.
If Tenant exercises its Option to Extend under any of the Leases, either of the Initial Leases
and/or the Option Lease, the monthly Basic Rent and Security Deposit during the First Extended Term
and/or the Second Extended Term under each of the Leases shall be determined pursuant to the terms
of Paragraph 46 (“Two (2) — Five (5) Year Options to Extend”).

3. DEVELOPMENT OF PLANS FOR INTERIOR IMPROVEMENTS: Plans for the Interior
Improvements shall be developed in accordance with the following:
A. Development of Preliminary Interior Plans: On or before the due date specified in
the Performance Schedule, Tenant shall cause the Architect to prepare and deliver to Landlord for
its review and approval preliminary plans for the Interior Improvements (the “Preliminary Interior
Plans”). Within ten (10) days of receipt of the Preliminary Interior Plans, Landlord shall either
approve such plans in writing or notify Tenant in writing of its specific objections to the
Preliminary Interior Plans. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its approval to Preliminary
Interior Plans. If the Landlord so objects, Tenant shall revise the Preliminary Interior Plans to
address such objections in a manner consistent with the parameters for the Interior Improvements
set forth in this Construction Agreement and shall resubmit such revised Preliminary Interior Plans
as soon as reasonably practicable to Landlord for its approval. It is agreed that Tenant’s
Preliminary Interior Improvement plans shall not affect the exterior appearance of the Building,
Shell, or the structural integrity of the Building Shell. Landlord understands that Tenant may
want, at its sole cost and expense, to incorporate a connecting link between Buildings 5 and 6; a
service and utility yard which are specific to and appropriate for biotech laboratory and/or
manufacturing facilities (“Other Tenant Improvements”). Provided such Other Tenant Improvements
(i) are approved by the governing authorities, (ii) do not adversely affect the structural
integrity or the appearance of the Building Shell (it being agreed by Landlord and Tenant that such
connecting link between Buildings 5 and 6, whether by a bridge or a building structure which is
designed to be structurally and esthetically compatible with Buildings 5 and 6 shall not be deemed
to adversely affect the appearance of the Building Shell and shall not be required by Landlord to
be removed at the end of the Term of the Lease), and (iii) comply with the covenant, condition, or
restriction affecting the subject property, Landlord shall not unreasonably object to said Other
Tenant Improvements (which Tenant shall be one hundred percent (100%) responsible and liable for
all cost and expense related thereto, including but not limited to the cost and expense of
construction, the related fees and permits, the maintenance, repair and replacement of said Other
Tenant Improvements).. When the revised Preliminary Interior Plans are resubmitted to Landlord,
Landlord shall either approve such plans in writing or notify Tenant of any further objections in
writing within five (5) days after receipt thereof. If Landlord has further objections to the
revised Preliminary Interior Plans, Landlord and Tenant shall immediately meet and confer and
together shall apply the standards set forth in this Construction Agreement to resolve Landlord’s
objections and incorporate such resolution into the Preliminary Interior Plans, which process
Landlord and Tenant shall cause to be completed within five (5) days after the conclusion of the
five (5) day period referred to in the immediately preceding sentence. In resolving Landlord’s
objections, the parties agree to act reasonably so as to promptly finalize the Preliminary Interior
Plans.
B. Development of Final Interior Plans: Once the Preliminary Interior Plans have
been approved by Landlord and Tenant, Tenant shall cause Architect to complete and submit to
Landlord for its approval final plans for the Interior Improvements by the due date specified in
the Performance Schedule which are the logical and reasonable development of the Preliminary
Interior Plans. Landlord
shall approve in writing the final plans for the Interior Improvements or notify Tenant in
writing of its specific objections by the due date specified in the Performance Schedule. The
final plans so approved by Landlord and Tenant (including all changes made to resolve Landlord’s
objections approved by Landlord and Tenant pursuant to the above) are referred to herein as the
“Final Interior Plans” and shall be considered Exhibit “B” to the Lease.
C. Interior Improvement Permit: As soon as the Final Interior Plans have been
approved by Landlord and Tenant, Tenant shall apply for a building permit for the Interior
Improvements, and shall diligently prosecute to completion pursuant to the Performance Schedule
such approval process.
D. Commencement of Interior Improvements: By the due date specified in the
Performance Schedule, Tenant shall commence construction for the Interior Improvements and shall
diligently prosecute such construction to completion, using all reasonable efforts to achieve
Substantial Completion of the Interior Improvements by the date specified in the Performance
Schedule.
4. CONSTRUCTION OF IMPROVEMENTS: The Improvements to be constructed as part of the
Premises in connection with the Lease shall be paid for by the parties as hereinafter set forth in
Paragraph 5 and constructed in the following manner:
A. Construction of Shell Improvements by Landlord: The Shell Improvements have been
constructed by Landlord in accordance with the Shell Plans; it being agreed, however, that if the
Shell Improvements, as constructed, do not conform exactly to the plans and specifications as set
forth in the Shell, and the general appearance, structural integrity, and Tenant’s use and
occupancy of the Premises and the time required to construct the Interior Improvements relating
thereto are not unreasonably affected by such deviation, it is agreed that the Commencement Date of
the Lease, and Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent thereunder, shall not be affected, and Tenant hereby
agrees, in such event, to accept the Shell as constructed by Landlord.
B. Development and Construction of Interior Improvements by Tenant: Within the time
period reflected in the Performance Schedule, Tenant shall commence and diligently cause to be
completed all plans and specifications for the Interior Improvements and obtain the required
permits. Copies of all permits and approvals shall be delivered to Landlord, at no cost to
Landlord. Upon obtaining all such permits and approvals, Tenant thereupon shall cause to be
constructed the Interior Improvements in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by
Landlord. Tenant shall, upon final approval by Landlord of the Interior Improvement Plans, enter
into a contract for the construction of the Interior Improvements with the Prime Contractor, and
shall provide Landlord with a copy of said contract. Construction of the Interior Improvements
shall be completed three (3) years from the Lease Commencement Date, subject to Acts of God,
inclement weather, labor strikes, material shortages and other causes beyond Tenant’s reasonable
control (collectively “Force Majeure Conditions”); provided that Tenant shall give Landlord written
notice of any Force Majeure Conditions within five (5) business days of first experiencing any
Force Majeure Condition. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in the Lease,
Basic Rent and other sums due under the Lease shall nevertheless be due and payable on the dates
referenced in the Lease regardless of whether or not Tenant has obtained permits and/or started
and/or completed construction of the Interior Improvements. All construction shall be done in
accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations. In the event
Tenant fails to complete construction of the Interior Improvements within thirty-six (36) months,
subject to any delay due to Force Majeure Conditions, such failure shall constitute a material
default by Tenant hereunder, in which event Landlord may, at its option, terminate the Lease upon
written notice to Tenant provided Tenant does not complete said construction within six (6) months
from the date of said notice, and Landlord shall reserve all rights and remedies thereunder against
Tenant for breach of the Lease. Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in Tenant’s processing of all
necessary permits for construction of the Interior Improvements, however, Landlord shall assume no
responsibility nor incur any out of pocket costs in connection with Tenant’s processing activities,
and Landlord shall not be required to attend any meetings or hearings with the City of Fremont (the
“City”) staff or the City Council.
C. Letter of Credit Requirement: Prior to commencement of construction of the
Interior Improvements, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an irrevocable unconditional letter of
credit issued for a period of forty-two (42) months (the “Letter of Credit”) in the total dollar
amount reasonably estimated by Tenant to be necessary to construct the Interior Improvements (less
the amount of Landlord’s Interior Improvement Allowance) issued by an institutional lender
acceptable to Landlord. In the event Tenant and/or Landlord subsequently and reasonably determines
that the amount of said Letter of Credit does not
cover the cost of the Interior Improvements,
Tenant shall increase the Letter of Credit amount accordingly within ten (10) days of receipt of
written notice from Landlord if Landlord is the party who discovers the deficiency or within ten
(10) days of Tenant’s discovery of such deficiency. The Letter of Credit shall be unconditionally
payable upon demand by Landlord, and Landlord shall be entitled to draw upon the Letter of Credit,
without proof, for the purpose of completing construction of the Interior Improvements upon ten
(10) days’ notice to Tenant, in the event Tenant fails to pay any sums when due under any
construction contract for the Interior Improvements or to complete such construction as and when
required hereunder or in the event any liens are filed against the Property. Upon delivery to
Landlord of evidence of each interim payment by Tenant of its portion of the cost of the
construction of the Interior Improvements from time to time during the course of such construction,
Tenant shall be entitled to cause a reduction in the face amount of the Letter of Credit by a sum
equal to such evidenced payment. Any amount drawn thereon which is not so applied by Landlord
shall be returned to Tenant. Upon written request from Tenant, Landlord agrees to release the
Letter of Credit to Tenant after the following have been completed by Tenant: (a) completion of
the Interior Improvements; (b) Tenant’s delivery to Landlord of proof of payment for all
construction costs (including copies of signed checks, the related invoices and unconditional lien
releases from the General Contractor and all subcontractors); (c) Tenant’s delivery to Landlord of
a recorded Notice of Completion for the Interior Improvements.
D. Licensed Contractor Requirement: All construction of Interior Improvements in the
Premises shall be done by a licensed general contractor approved by Landlord. The terms of the
general contract for construction of the Interior Improvements shall be reasonably agreed upon by
and between Tenant and such general contractor following consultation by Tenant with Landlord
and/or Landlord’s consultant (if Landlord so desires).
E. Written Notice: Notwithstanding that Landlord has approved plans as aforesaid,
neither Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, or subcontractors, including without limitation
engineers and surveyors, shall enter upon the Premises to commence any work of construction or in
preparation of construction of the Interior Improvements except upon prior written notice to
Landlord, which notice shall be deemed given on the Execution Date.
F. Construction of Interior Improvements by Tenant: Pursuant to the Performance
Schedule in Paragraph 2 above, Tenant shall construct Interior Improvements within the Premises in
accordance with plans and specifications to be approved by Landlord. Tenant specifically agrees to
build out and finish the entire building and Tenant agrees to construct the Interior Improvements
in the offices and corridors based on Landlord’s standards as follows: (i) ten foot ceilings with
uniform grid; (ii) USG ultrawall panels (floor to ceiling) for all non-load bearing walls; and
(iii) ten foot by three foot single doors and ten foot by six foot double doors, if any, and the
doors leading to general lab areas shall also be Landlord’s standard doors. All other finishes
shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval. Landlord and Tenant agree, upon the completion
of the Interior Improvements, that the “as built” construction plans for the Interior Improvements
shall become Exhibit B to the Lease, and become the interior configuration for Tenant’s
surrender responsibilities as described in Lease Paragraph 5, “Acceptance and Surrender of
Premises” and Tenant shall not be obligated or allowed to remove any Interior Improvements shown on
the “as built” construction plans added to the Lease as Exhibit B upon completion of the
Interior Improvements, unless such removal is requested by Tenant and approved in writing by
Landlord. Tenant hereby warrants to Landlord that all materials shall be new or from Tenant’s
currently existing inventory of new materials, and all workmanship used by Tenant in the
construction of said Interior Improvements shall be of a quality which is, and shall conform to the
standards which are, consistent and compatible with the quality and specifications of Building 6.
Upon completion of construction of the Interior Improvements, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost,
deliver (i) three (3) copies of as-built plans on reproducible mylars drawn to a minimum of 1/8”
scale and (ii) a complete set of as-built plans on CAD saved on one or more compact disks prepared
by a licensed engineer or architect of the Interior Improvements and Tenant shall file or cause to
be filed a Notice of Completion in accordance with all applicable laws, a copy of which shall be
delivered to Landlord within five days of said filing. Such as-built plans shall certify that all
Interior Improvements have been constructed substantially in accordance with such plans.
Landlord’s approval of such Interior Improvements shall not be construed as approval of any
construction detail with respect to conformance to any applicable City or governmental ordinance or
code, and by approving such Interior Improvements, Landlord assumes no liability or responsibility
therefor, or for any defect in any Interior Improvements constructed by Tenant.
Tenant shall be liable and shall fully and completely indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any
cost, expense, claim, damage, obligation or liability of any kind or nature whatsoever (including
Landlord’s attorneys’ fees) which occurs as a result of, in connection with, or in any way relating
to said Interior Improvements within the Leased Premises as set forth herein, including, but not
limited to faulty workmanship and loss, damage, injury or death related to the construction of the
Interior Improvements,
during the course of construction and continuing during the Term of the
Lease. In the event of any claim assessed which is covered by the foregoing indemnity, Tenant
shall defend Landlord with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Tenant shall, at
Tenant’s sole cost and expense, obtain all necessary permits required to construct and complete
said Interior Improvements, and shall comply with all applicable City or Governmental codes and
ordinances in relation to said Interior Improvements.
It is agreed that in the event Tenant does not complete the construction of the approved Interior
Improvements as required herein, said Lease is terminated early as a result thereof, Tenant shall,
at its sole cost and expense, upon receipt of written notice by Landlord, immediately remove any
and/or all
Interior Improvements (as requested to be removed by Landlord) made by Tenant and return the
Premises to the condition that existed prior to the installation and/or construction of said
Interior Improvements made by Tenant. In the event Tenant does not immediately and timely comply
with said request for removal and restoration, it is hereby agreed that Landlord may have any
and/or all of said Interior Improvements removed and the Premises restored to its Shell condition
at the sole cost and expense of Tenant and with no liability to Landlord.
Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord, effective upon the later of (i) the Lease Commencement Date, or
(ii) the date said plans are approved, all of its interest in and to the plans and specifications
prepared for the Interior Improvements, all studies, data and drawings with respect thereto
(excluding any confidential programming) prepared by or for Tenant, and the contracts and
agreements relating to such plans and specifications or studies, data and drawings, or to the
construction of the Interior Improvements, including but not limited to the general contract
therefor, but Landlord shall not have any obligation under those contracts or agreements unless
Landlord expressly agrees to assume such obligation in writing. Following said assignment,
Landlord shall not have the right to exercise any rights of Tenant under those contracts and
agreements or with respect to such plans, specifications, studies, data and drawings except (a) in
the event of an uncured monetary default or material non-monetary default by Tenant or (b) upon the
termination of said Lease.
All of the terms of the Lease shall apply to any entry by Tenant pursuant to this Paragraph 4F
(including provisions of the Lease regarding indemnification and insurance) with the exceptions
related to the payment of monthly Basic Rent and Additional Rent (except as otherwise noted in said
Lease or this Construction Agreement). Any entry or construction work by Tenant and its agents in
the Premises pursuant to Paragraphs 4.B and 4.F shall be undertaken at Tenant’s sole risk. Tenant
shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from any and all loss, damage, liability,
expense (including reasonable attorneys fees), claim or demand of whatsoever character direct or
consequential, including, but without limiting thereby the generality of the foregoing, injury to
or death of persons and damage to or loss of property arising out of the exercise by Tenant of any
early entry right granted hereunder. The obligations of Tenant contained in this Paragraph 4.F
shall survive the expiration of this Construction Agreement.
G. Interior Improvements Part of the Premises: All Interior Improvements to the
real property shall become and remain a part of the Premises upon installation or construction and
shall be the property of Landlord. Tenant shall have only a leasehold interest therein, subject to
all of the terms and conditions of the Lease; however, all improvements to the Premises paid for
directly by Tenant shall remain the property of Tenant during the Lease Term, for accounting
purposes only, and Tenant shall have the right to depreciate the same and claim and collect
investment tax credits and all other tax savings with respect to such improvements. None of the
Interior Improvements shall be encumbered, transferred, removed or materially altered, except as
otherwise provided in the Lease. Provided Tenant is not in default hereunder, Landlord shall
within ten (10) business days of receipt of Tenant’s written request to Landlord to provide a
waiver agreement for Tenant’s leased and/or financed trade fixtures, equipment and other personal
property within the Premises (which request shall include a detailed itemization of said leased
and/or financed items to be referenced under said waiver). Landlord shall, after its review and
approval of said list, submit Landlord’s standard form waiver agreement (“Waiver Agreement”) to
Tenant and the respective third party for their execution. Upon receipt of the fully executed
Waiver Agreement, Landlord shall execute and return Landlord’s Waiver Agreement to Tenant as soon
as possible thereafter.
H. Liens and Claims: During the construction of the Interior Improvements and the
installation of Tenant’s trade fixtures, Tenant shall keep the Premises and the Property free from
any liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished or obligation incurred by Tenant.
In the event that Tenant shall not, within twenty (20) days following notice of the imposition of
any such lien, cause the same to be released of record. Tenant may bond such lien with a bond in
accordance with applicable California law to pay off said lien(s). In the event Tenant does not
remove said lien as provided herein, Landlord shall have, in addition to all other remedies
provided herein and by law, the right, but not the obligation, to cause the same to be released by
such means as Landlord shall deem proper, including
payment of the claim giving rise to such lien.
All sums paid by Landlord for such purpose, and all expenses incurred by Landlord in connection
therewith, shall be payable to Landlord by Tenant within five (5) business days after demand with
interest at the highest interest rate allowable by law or Landlord may at its option, draw or make
a demand under the Security Deposit and/or Letter of Credit to pay said Lien and have said Lien
removed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to contest any lien so filed,
however, Tenant must have said lien removed by a bond as described above or otherwise removed from
the Premises within twenty (20) days as referenced above.
I. Inspection Following Completion of Interior Improvements: As soon as the Interior
Improvements are Substantially Completed (as that term is defined herein), Landlord (or Landlord’s
representative) and Tenant shall conduct a joint walk-through of the Premises, and inspect such
Interior
Improvements, using their best efforts to discover all incomplete or defective construction
related thereto. After such inspection has been completed, Landlord or its representative shall
prepare, and both parties shall sign, a list of all “punch list” items which the parties agree are
to be corrected by Tenant. Tenant shall use reasonable efforts to complete and/or repair such
“punch list” items within thirty (30) days after executing such list.
5. PAYMENT OF CONSTRUCTION COSTS:
A. Shell Improvements: Landlord has furnished the Shell Improvements existing as of
the date of this Agreement at its cost. In the event any additional cost related to the Shell
Improvements are necessary as a result of the Tenant’s Interior Improvements, said costs shall be
paid one hundred percent (100%) by Tenant.
B. Landlord’s Interior Improvements Allowance: Landlord agrees to furnish Tenant with
an Interior Improvement allowance of One Hundred Twenty and no/100 Dollars ($120.00) per square
foot of gross leasable area within the building (e.g., $13,174,320.00 based on the
109,786+ square foot Building and not on the total Building size of 111,465 ± square feet)
(hereinafter referred to as the “Interior Improvement Allowance”). In addition to the Interior
Improvement Allowance, Landlord agrees to reimburse Tenant for fifty percent (50%) of Tenant’s out
of pocket cost, up to a maximum of an aggregate total amount of $50,000 for both Buildings 5 and 6,
for any costs incurred by Tenant which are necessary to remediate problems in the slab floor of the
Premises caused by moisture and cracking in excess of what would be expected for a building in the
Ardenwood area. The excess moisture and excess cracking, if any, shall reasonably be determined by
a third party professional by making moisture vapor tests and by taking floor core samples from the
first floor of the Premises. The parties hereto understand and agree, that said reimbursement
shall not include any cost Tenant may incur for testing or samples or for any cost other than the
cost to correct the excessive moisture and excessive cracking of said floor as reflected in the
results from the aforementioned tests (which cost to correct excludes normal cement floor cracking
and normal moisture vapor for buildings in the Ardenwood area). Said test shall be performed as
soon as reasonably possible under Tenant‘s direction and a report shall be delivered to both
parties within thirty (30) days of the execution of this Lease. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant
for its share as referenced above within thirty (30) days of receipt of proof of payment from
Tenant and an unconditional signed lien release. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, Landlord shall not provide an allowance on the Building Connector. The Interior
Improvement Allowance shall be considered Landlord’s total monetary contribution with respect to
the Interior Improvements, which allowance shall be used for the payment of the direct cost of
constructing the approved Interior Improvements. Tenant is obligated to pay directly all costs for
permits, license, and fees of any type, builder’s risk insurance, real property taxes (as
referenced in Paragraph 8 (“Tax Increases During Construction Period”) and for its furniture, lab
equipment, personal property, trade fixtures, and the Building Connector (collectively
“Non-Interior Improvement Items”) The parties agree that none of Landlord’s Interior Improvement
Allowance shall be used for Non-Interior Improvement Items. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, the Interior Improvement Allowance shall be used only for real property
improvements.
C. Liability for Interior Improvement Costs Above Landlord’s Interior Improvement
Allowance: It is further agreed that Tenant shall be responsible for and pay one hundred
percent (100%) of the interior improvement costs relating to the Interior Improvements in excess of
those that are paid for with the Interior Improvement Allowance (collectively “Interior Improvement
Costs”). In addition, Tenant shall be responsible for and pay any additional construction costs
and expenses related to modification of the Shell Improvements occasioned by changes or
modifications, if any, to the existing shell that are necessary to accommodate the approved
Interior Improvements, including, but not limited to the Other Tenant Improvements.
D. Manner of Reimbursement to Tenant: If the total Interior Improvement Costs exceeds
the Interior Improvement Allowance, Tenant shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of each progress
payment due to the contractor constructing the Interior Improvements, and submit to Landlord a
request for reimbursement which bears the same relationship to the total amount of the progress
payment in question
as the amount Landlord is obligated to pay for the cost of constructing the
Interior Improvements. For purposes of illustration only, if the total Interior Improvement cost
(excluding the Non-Interior Improvement Items) of constructing the Interior Improvements is
estimated to be $30,000,000.00 then Tenant’s share thereof would be $16,825,680.00 (the excess over
Landlord’s total Interior Improvement Allowance of $13,174,320.00 assuming the area of the building
is 109,786+ square feet), or 56.09% of the total Interior Improvements Cost. If the first
progress payment due the contractor is $100,000.00 then Tenant’s share of such progress payment
would be $56,090.00 (or 56.09% of such progress payment), and Tenant would submit a request to
Landlord for reimbursement of 43.91% of such progress payment, or $43,910.00. With each request
for reimbursement, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copy of the related invoice(s), copies of
the paid check(s) representing payment of said invoice(s) and copies of conditional lien releases
signed by the general contractor in charge of the Interior Improvements. Landlord shall pay within
fifteen (15) business days of receipt of all the required documents its prorata share of said
payment. For each succeeding progress payment, Tenant would likewise be obligated for
56.09% thereof, with the exception that Landlord, at its option, may retain (i) a pro rata share of
the final ten percent (10%) of the Interior Improvement contract until 62 days after recordation of
a Notice of Completion on the Premises for which Tenant is responsible for having recorded, and
(ii) if applicable, the amount of one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the claim secured by any lien
which may, notwithstanding the conditional lien releases signed by such general contractor, have
been filed against the Premises. If Tenant fails to pay any amount when due, then Landlord may
after five (5) days written notice (but without the obligation to do so) draw on the Letter of
Credit or the Security Deposit and advance such funds on Tenant’s behalf, and Tenant shall be
obligated to restore the Letter of Credit to its original amount and reimburse Landlord for all
costs incurred by Landlord in advancing such funds.
E. Construction Contract for Interior Improvements: The Interior Improvements shall
be constructed, in conformance (except as provided above) with the Final Interior Plans approved by
Landlord and Tenant and Tenant shall within a reasonable period thereafter enter into a contract
with the Prime Contractor to construct said Interior Improvements. A copy of said executed
contract shall be provided to Landlord immediately thereafter.
6. CHANGES, MODIFICATIONS, OR ADDITIONS TO THE PLANS, SPECIFICATIONS AND/OR PREMISES:
Once the Final Interior Plans have been finally approved by Landlord and Tenant, then thereafter
Tenant shall not have the right to order extra work or change orders (except for de minimis changes
which will not materially or substantially impact or affect Tenant’s use of the Premises) with
respect to the construction of the Interior Improvements without the prior written consent of
Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. All extra work or change orders
requested by Tenant shall be made in writing, shall specify the amount of delay or the time saved
resulting therefrom, and shall become effective and a part of the approved plans once approved in
writing by both parties.
7. DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS: Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after issuance,
deliver to Landlord any temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy issued by the City of
Fremont with respect to any of the Interior Improvements. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary, Tenant shall diligently pursue obtaining any and all such certificates of occupancy.
8. TAX INCREASES DURING CONSTRUCTION PERIOD: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this agreement, in the event prior to the Commencement Date there is an interim or supplemental
reassessment of the Premises based upon the added value of the Interior Improvements, then upon the
Lease Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days prior to the due
date reflected on the related tax statement received from the tax assessor for Alameda County, any
interim or supplemental taxes (but no penalties or interest in connection therewith unless Tenant
fails to pay said amounts due by the respective dates referenced above) that have been levied
against the Premises and are attributable to the added value of the Interior Improvements during
the period prior to the Lease Commencement Date and any such supplemental taxes that may be levied
against the Premises thereafter.
9. AUTHORITY TO EXECUTE. The parties executing this Agreement hereby warrant and
represent that they are properly authorized to execute this Agreement and that the individuals
executing this Agreement are authorized to bind the parties to all of the terms, covenants and
conditions of this Agreement.
10. CHOICE OF LAW/VENUE; SEVERABILITY. This Agreement shall in all respects be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the County of Santa Xxxxx in the State of
California and each party specifically stipulates to venue in Santa Xxxxx County. If any
provisions of this Agreement shall be invalid, unenforceable, or ineffective for any reason
whatsoever, all other provisions hereof shall be and remain in full force and effect.
