ARTICLE 1
PREMISES, BUILDING, PROJECT, AND COMMON AREAS
1.1 Premises, Building, Project and Common Areas.
1.1.1 The Premises. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the premises set forth in Section 2.2 of the Summary (the “Premises”). The outline of the Premises is set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto and each of the floors of the Premises has the number of rentable square feet as set forth in Section 2.2 of the Summary. The parties hereto agree that the lease of the Premises is upon and subject to the terms, covenants and conditions herein set forth, and Tenant covenants as a material part of the consideration for this Lease to keep and perform each and all of such terms, covenants and conditions by it to be kept and performed and that this Lease is made upon the condition of such performance. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that the purpose of Exhibit A is to show the approximate location of the Premises in the Building (as defined below) only, and such exhibit is not meant to constitute an agreement, representation or warranty as to the construction of the Premises, the precise area thereof or the specific location of the Common Areas (as defined below) or the elements thereof or of the accessways to the Premises or the Project (as defined below). Except as specifically set forth in this Lease and in the Tenant Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Tenant Work Letter“), Landlord shall not be obligated to provide or pay for any improvement work or services related to the improvement of the Premises. Tenant also acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty regarding the condition of the Premises, the Building or the Project or with respect to the suitability of any of the foregoing for the conduct of Tenant’s business, except as specifically set forth in this Lease and the Tenant Work Letter. The taking of possession of the Premises by Tenant shall conclusively establish that the Premises and the Building were at such time in good and sanitary order, condition and repair.
1.1.2 The Building and The Project. The Premises are a part of the building set forth in Section 2.1 of the Summary (the “Building”). The Building is part of an office project known as “Lakeshore Towers”. The term “Project”, as used in this Lease, shall mean (i) the land on which the Project is located which land is described in Exhibit C hereto, (ii) the Building, (iii) the Common Areas, (iv) the other buildings located in the Project, and (v) at Landlord’s discretion, any additional real property, areas, land, buildings or other improvements added thereto outside of the Project.
1.1.3 Common Areas. Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use in common with Project tenants the Project Common Areas and the non-exclusive right to use in common with other Building tenants the Building Common Areas, subject to the rules and regulations referred to in Article 5 of this Lease. Those portions of the Project which are provided for use in common by Landlord, Tenant and any other tenants of the Project and such other portions of the Project designated by Landlord, in its discretion, including certain areas designated for the exclusive use of certain tenants, or to be shared by Landlord and certain tenants, are collectively referred to herein as the “Common Areas”. The Common Areas shall consist of the Project Common Areas and the Building Common Areas. The term “Project Common Areas” shall mean (i) the portion of the Project designated as such by Landlord and (ii) all common areas designated in that certain Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions and Reservation of Easements for the Lakeshore Towers, dated October 17, 1989, recorded October 23, 1989, as Instrument No. 89569018 of the Official Records of Orange County, California (the “CC&Rs”). The term “Building Common Areas” shall mean the portions of the Common Areas located within the Building designated as such by Landlord. The manner in which the Common Areas are maintained and operated shall be at the sole discretion of Landlord, provided that Landlord shall maintain and operate same in a manner consistent with that of other first-class, high-rise office buildings in the Xxxx Xxxxx Airport/South Coast Plaza, Costa Mesa, California area, which are comparable in size (containing at least 125,000 rentable square feet), quality of construction, and services and amenities to the Building (the “Comparable Buildings”) and the use thereof shall be subject to such rules, regulations and restrictions as Landlord may make from time to time. Landlord reserves the right to close temporarily, make alterations or additions to, or change the location of elements of the Project and the Common Areas so long as Tenant’s access to and use of the Premises is not adversely affected during Building Hours (as defined below).

LAKESHORE TOWERS BUILDING II [United PanAm Financial Corp.] |
1.2 Verification of Rentable Square Feet and Usable Square Feet of Premises, Building, and Project. For purposes of this Lease, “rentable square feet” and “usable square feet” shall be calculated pursuant to BOMA (as defined below). In the event that the rentable area of the Premises, the Building and/or the Project shall hereafter change due to subsequent alterations and/or other modifications to the Premises, the Building and/or the Project, the rentable area of the Premises, the Building and/or the Project, as the case may be, shall be appropriately adjusted as of the date of such alteration and/or other modification, based upon the written verification by Landlord’s space planner of such revised rentable area. In the event of any such adjustment to the rentable area of the Premises, the Building and/or the Project, all amounts, percentages and figures appearing or referred to in this Lease based upon such rentable area (including, without limitation, the amount of the Rent (as defined below)) shall be modified in accordance with such determination.
1.3 Right of First Offer. Subject to the provisions of Section 1.3.6 below, Landlord hereby grants to Original Tenant, a right of first offer with respect to any space on the second (2nd) and fourth (4th) floors of the Building (the “First Offer Space”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) such first offer right of Tenant shall commence only following the expiration or earlier termination of (i) that certain Lease dated between Landlord, as landlord, and XxXxxxxxx Will & Xxxxx LLP, as tenant, and (ii) Landlord, as landlord, and as tenant (items (i) and (ii), collectively, the “Superior Leases”), including any renewal or extension of such Superior Leases, provided such renewal or extension is pursuant to an express written provision in such Superior Lease, but regardless of whether any such renewal or extension is consummated strictly pursuant to the terms of such express written provisions, or pursuant to a lease amendment or a new lease, and (ii) such first offer right shall be subordinate and secondary to all rights of expansion, first refusal, rights of first offer or similar rights previously granted to the tenants of the Superior Leases (the rights described in items (i) and (ii) above to be known collectively as “Superior Rights”). Tenant’s Right of First Offer shall be on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1.3. As used herein “Original Tenant” means United PanAm Financial Corp. and any Affiliate (as defined below) of United PanAm Financial Corp. that receives an assignment of all of Tenant’s interest in this Lease. Contiguous space no less than 5000 sq. ft.
1.3.1 Procedure for Offer. During the initial Lease Term and during the first twenty four (24) months of the Option Term (if applicable), Landlord shall notify Tenant (the “First Offer Notice”) from time to time when Landlord determines that marketing for any portion of the First Offer Space will commence because such portion of the First Offer Space shall become available for lease to third parties, provided that no holder of a Superior Right wishes to lease such space. Pursuant to such First Offer Notice, Landlord shall offer to lease to Tenant the then available First Offer Space. The First Offer Notice shall describe the space so offered to Tenant, shall set forth the date (“Anticipated First Offer Date”) upon which Landlord anticipates that the First Offer Space shall become available for lease to third parties (subject to any holdover of any then existing tenant) and shall set forth the First Offer Rent (as defined below) and the other economic terms upon which Landlord is willing to lease such space to Tenant.
1.3.2 Procedure for Acceptance. If Tenant wishes to exercise Tenant’s right of first offer with respect to the space described in the First Offer Notice, then within five (5) days of delivery of the First Offer Notice to Tenant, Tenant shall deliver notice to Landlord of Tenant’s exercise of its right of first offer with respect to the space described in the First Offer Notice on the terms contained in such notice. In the event that concurrently with Tenant’s exercise of the first offer right, Tenant notifies Landlord that it does not accept the First Offer Rent set forth in the First Offer Notice, the First Offer Rent shall be determined in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.2.4 of this Lease; otherwise, the First Offer Rent shall be as set forth in Landlord’s First Offer Notice. If Tenant does not so notify Landlord within the five (5) day period of Tenant’s exercise of its first offer right, then Landlord shall be free to lease the space described in the First Offer Notice to anyone to whom Landlord desires on any terms Landlord desires for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days commencing upon the expiration of the five (5) day period, after which time, Tenant’s rights to such space under this Section 1.3 shall renew. In the event that Landlord does lease all or a portion of the First Offer Space pursuant to this Section 1.3.2, then such lease and all of its terms shall become a Superior Lease and the rights described in items (i) and (ii) of Section 1.3 above with respect to such lease shall be included within the Superior Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
5
LAKESHORE TOWERS BUILDING II [United PanAm Financial Corp.] |
herein, Tenant must elect to exercise its right of first offer, if at all, with respect to all of the space offered by Landlord to Tenant at any particular time, and Tenant may not elect to lease only a portion thereof.

ARTICLE 2
LEASE TERM; OPTION TERM
2.1 Lease Term. The terms and provisions of this Lease shall be effective as of the date of this Lease. The term of this Lease (the “Lease Term”) shall subject to Force Majeure, be as set forth in Section 3.1 of the Summary and shall commence on the date set forth in Section 3.2 of the Summary (the “Lease Commencement Date”). At any time during the Lease Term, Landlord may deliver to Tenant a notice in the form as set forth in Exhibit D, attached hereto, as a confirmation only of the information set forth therein, which Tenant shall execute and return to Landlord within five (5) days of receipt thereof.
2.2 Lease Commencement Date Delay.
2.2.1 Delay In Possession. If Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant with the Tenant Improvements substantially complete (as defined in the Tenant Work Letter) on or before March 15, 2007, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability for its failure to do so. If Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant with the Tenant Improvements substantially complete on or before the Outside Date, Tenant’s sole remedy shall be to terminate this Lease as provided in Section 2.2.2 below. For purposes of this Lease, the “Outside Date” shall be May 15, 2007 as extended by the number of days of “Tenant Delays” as described in Exhibit B hereto and by the number of days of delay due to Force Majeure (as defined below).
2.2.2 Tenant’s Notice of Termination. If Landlord fails to deliver the Premises to Tenant with the Tenant Improvements substantially complete by the Outside Date, Tenant’s sole remedy shall be the right to deliver a notice to Landlord (“Termination Notice”) electing to terminate this Lease effective on Landlord’s receipt of the Termination Notice
6
LAKESHORE TOWERS BUILDING II [United PanAm Financial Corp.] |
(“Effective Date”). Except as provided below, the Termination Notice must be delivered to Landlord by Tenant, if at all, no later than fifteen (15) business days after the Outside Date.
2.2.3 Landlord’s Suspension of Effective Date. If Tenant delivers the Termination Notice to Landlord, Landlord shall have the right to suspend the Effective Date until thirty (30) days after the original Effective Date. In order to suspend the Effective Date, Landlord must deliver to Tenant, within five (5) business days after receipt of the Termination Notice, a certificate of the general contractor in charge of construction certifying that it is that contractor’s best good faith judgment that the delivery of the Premises with the Tenant Improvements substantially complete will occur within thirty (30) days after the original Effective Date. If Landlord provides this certificate and delivery of the Tenant Improvements substantially complete occurs within that thirty (30) day suspension period, the Termination Notice shall be of no force or effect. If, however, such delivery does not occur within that thirty (30) day suspension period, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of expiration of the thirty (30) day period.
2.2.4 Extension of Outside Date. If before the Outside Date Landlord determines that delivery of the Premises with the Tenant Improvements substantially complete will not occur by the Outside Date, Landlord shall have the right to deliver a written notice to Tenant stating Landlord’s reasonable, good faith estimate of the date by which such delivery will occur. Tenant will be required within ten (10) business days after receipt of such notice either to deliver the Termination Notice (which will mean that this Lease shall terminate and be of no further force and effect) or agree to extend the Outside Date to the date stated in Landlord’s notice. Tenant’s failure to respond in writing within such ten (10) business day period shall constitute Tenant’s agreement to extend the Outside Date to the date stated in Landlord’s notice. If the Outside Date is so extended, Landlord’s right to request Tenant to elect to either terminate or further extend the Outside Date shall remain and continue to remain, with each of the notice periods and response periods set forth above, until possession of the Premises with Tenant Improvements substantially complete have been delivered to Tenant or until this Lease is terminated.
2.3 Option Term.
2.3.1 Option Right. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant one (1) option to extend the Lease Term for a period of five (5) years ( “Option Term”), which option shall be exercisable only by written notice delivered by Tenant to Landlord as provided below, provided that, as of the date of delivery of such notice, Tenant is not in default under this Lease, after the expiration of applicable cure periods,. Upon the proper exercise of such option to extend, and provided that, as of the end of the initial Lease Term or Option Term, as applicable, Tenant is not in default under this Lease, after the expiration of applicable cure periods, the Lease Term, as it applies to the Premises, shall be extended for a period of five (5) years. The rights contained in this Section 2.3 shall be personal to Tenant and may only be exercised by Tenant if Original Tenant occupies the entire Premises. (References to “Tenant” in this Section 2.3 and elsewhere in this Lease with respect to the Option Term shall mean Original Tenant).
2.3.2 Option Rent. The rent payable by Tenant during the Option Term (the “Option Rent”) shall be equal to the “Fair Market Rental Value” for the Premises. As used herein, “Fair Market Rental Value” shall be equal to the rent (including additional rent and considering any “base year” or “expense stop” applicable thereto), including all escalations, at which, as of the commencement of the Option Term, or as of the First Offer Commencement Date, as applicable, taking into consideration only those transactions involving the services of a professional real estate broker, tenants leasing non-sublease, non-encumbered, non-equity space comparable in size, location and quality to the Premises, or First Offer Space, as applicable, for a term of five (5) years, or comparable to the term of the lease of the First Offer Space, as applicable, which comparable space is located in the Project and in Comparable Buildings, in either case taking into consideration the following: (a) rental abatement concessions, if any, being granted such tenants in connection with such comparable space; (b) tenant improvements or allowances provided or to be provided for such comparable space, taking into account, and deducting the value of, the existing improvements in the Premises, such value to be based upon the age, quality and layout of the improvements and the extent to which the same can be utilized by Tenant based upon the fact that the precise tenant improvements existing in the Premises are specifically suitable to Tenant; and (c) other reasonable monetary concessions being granted or
7
LAKESHORE TOWERS BUILDING II [United PanAm Financial Corp.] |
charges being imposed upon such tenants in connection with such comparable space, including parking concessions or charges; provided, however, that in calculating the Fair Market Rental Value, no consideration shall be given to the fact that Landlord is or is not required to pay a ?realestate brokerage commission in connection with Tenant’s extension of its lease of the Premises, or lease of the First Offer Space, as applicable, or the fact that landlords are or are not paying real estate brokerage commissions in connection with such comparable space. When considering rental rates in the Comparable Buildings, adjustments shall be made to such rates to increase or decrease such rates, as applicable, based on substantial historical differences between the rental rates of the Building and any applicable Comparable Building. In calculating the Option Rent, no consideration shall be given to any period of rental abatement granted to tenants in comparable transactions in connection with the design, permitting and construction of tenant improvements in such comparable spaces.
2.3.3 Exercise of Option. The option contained in this Section 2.3 shall be exercised by Tenant, if at all, delivering written notice (“Option Exercise Notice”) to Landlord not more than twelve (12) months nor less than six (6) months prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term, stating that Tenant is exercising its option. Landlord, after receipt of Option Exercise Notice, shall deliver notice (the “Option Rent Notice”) to Tenant not less than nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term setting forth the Option Rent. Within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of the Option Rent Notice, Tenant may, at its option, object to the Option Rent contained in the Option Rent Notice. If Tenant timely and appropriately objects to the Option Rent contained in the Option Rent Notice, the parties shall follow the procedure and the Option Rent shall be determined as set forth in Section 2.3.4, below.
2.3.4 Determination of Option Rent. If Tenant fails to timely and appropriately object to Option Rent or First Offer Rent, then the Option Rent or First Offer Rent shall be as set forth in the Option Rent Notice or First Offer Rent Notice, as the case may be. If Tenant timely and appropriately objects to the Option Rent or First Offer Rent, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon the applicable Fair Market Rental Value using their best good-faith efforts. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement within ten (10) days following Tenant’s objection to the Option Rent or First Offer Rent, as applicable (the “Outside Agreement Date”), then each party shall make a separate determination of the applicable Fair Market Rental Value (the “Arbitration Fair Market Rental Value(s)”), within fifteen (15) days following the Outside Agreement Date and such determinations shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with Sections 2.3.4.1 through 2.3.4.7, below.
2.3.4.1 Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one arbitrator who shall by profession be a real estate broker or appraiser who shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the leasing or appraisal, as the case may be, of commercial high rise properties in the Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxx/Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx (Xxxxxx Xxxx) area. The determination of the arbitrators shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Arbitration Fair Market Rental Value is the closest to the actual Fair Market Rental Value as determined by the arbitrators, taking into account the requirements of Section 2.3.2 of this Lease. Each such arbitrator shall be appointed within twenty (20) days after the applicable Outside Agreement Date.
2.3.4.2 The two arbitrators so appointed shall within ten (10) days of the date of the appointment of the last appointed arbitrator agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator who shall be qualified under the same criteria set forth hereinabove for qualification of the initial two arbitrators.

them shall reach a decision, notify Landlord and Tenant thereof, and such arbitrator’s decision shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.
2.3.4.6 If the two arbitrators fail to agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator, or both parties fail to appoint an arbitrator, then the appointment of the third arbitrator or any arbitrator shall be dismissed and the matter to be decided shall be forthwith submitted to arbitration under the provisions of the American Arbitration Association Commercial Rules of Arbitration but subject to the instruction set forth in this Section 2.3.4.

Tax Expenses shall include, without limitation:
(i) any tax on the rent, right to rent or other income from the Project, or any portion thereof, or as against the business of leasing the Project, or any portion thereof;
(ii) any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge in addition to, or in substitution, partially or totally, of any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge previously included within the definition of real property tax, it being acknowledged by Tenant and Landlord that Proposition 13 was adopted by the voters of the State of California in the June 1978 election (“Proposition 13”) and that assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges may be imposed by governmental agencies for such services as fire protection, street, sidewalk and road maintenance, refuse removal and for other governmental services formerly provided without charge to property owners or occupants, and, in further recognition of the decrease in the level and quality of governmental services and amenities as a result of Proposition 13, Tax Expenses shall also include any governmental or private assessments or the Project’s contribution towards a governmental or private cost-sharing agreement for the purpose of augmenting or improving the quality of services and amenities normally provided by governmental agencies;

Any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees) incurred in attempting to protest, reduce or minimize Tax Expenses shall be included in Tax Expenses in the Expense Year such expenses are incurred. Tax refunds shall be credited against Tax Expenses and refunded to Tenant regardless of when received, based on the Expense Year to which the refund is applicable; provided, however, in no event shall the amount to be refunded Tenant for any such Expense Year exceed the total amount paid by Tenant as Additional Rent under this Article 4 for such Expense Year. If Tax Expenses for any period during the Lease Term or any extension thereof are increased after payment thereof for any reason, including, without limitation, error or reassessment by applicable governmental or municipal authorities, Tenant shall pay Landlord upon demand Tenant’s Share of any such increased Tax Expenses included by Landlord as Building Tax Expenses pursuant to the terms of this Lease.

4.2.8.3 Base Taxes. The amount of Tax Expenses for the Base Year attributable to the valuation of the Project, inclusive of tenant improvements, shall be known as the “Base Taxes.” If in any comparison year subsequent to the Base Year the amount of Tax Expenses decreases below the amount of Base Taxes for the Premises, then for purposes of all subsequent comparison years, including the comparison year in which such decrease in Tax Expenses occurred, the Base Taxes and therefore the Base Year shall be decreased by an amount equal to the decrease in Tax Expenses; provided, however, if the amount of Tax Expenses for the Premises subsequently increases in any comparison year from that decreased amount, the Base Taxes for the Premises shall be increased by an amount equal to the increase in the Tax Expenses for the Premises but not in excess of the Base Taxes for the Base Year (calendar year 2007).
4.2.9 Tenant’s Share. “Tenant’s Share” shall mean the percentages set forth in Section 6 of the Summary. Tenant’s Share is calculated by multiplying the number of rentable square feet of the Premises as set forth in Section 2 of the Summary by 100, and dividing the applicable product by the rentable square feet in the Building. The rentable square feet in the Premises and Building is measured pursuant to the Building Owners and Managers Association Standard Method for Measuring Floor Area in Office Buildings, ANSI/BOMA Z65.1 - 1996 (“BOMA”), provided that the rentable square footage of the Building shall include all of, and the rentable square footage of the Premises therefore shall include a portion of, the square footage of the ground floor Common Areas located within the Building and the Common Area and occupied space of the portion of the Building or Project, dedicated to the service of the Building. In the event either the rentable square feet of the Premises and/or the total rentable square feet of the Building is remeasured, Tenant’s Share for the Premises shall be appropriately adjusted and, as to the Expense Year in which such change occurs, Tenant’s Share for the Premises for such Expense Year shall be determined on the basis of the number of days during such Expense Year that each such Tenant’s Share was in effect.
4.3 Allocation of Direct Expenses. The parties acknowledge that the Building is a part of a multi-building project and that the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Project (i.e., the Direct Expenses) should be shared between the tenants of the Building and the tenants of the other buildings in the Project. Accordingly, as set forth in Section 4.2 above, Direct Expenses (which consist of Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses) are determined annually for the Project as a whole, and a portion of the Direct Expenses, which portion shall be determined by Landlord in accordance with the CC&Rs, shall be allocated to the tenants of the Building (as opposed to the tenants of any other buildings in the Project) and such portion shall be the Building Direct Expenses for purposes of this Lease (such allocation in accordance with the CC&Rs is further described in Exhibit E hereto). Such portion of Direct Expenses allocated to the tenants of the Building shall include all Direct Expenses attributable solely to the Building and an equitable portion of the Direct Expenses attributable to the Project as a whole.
4.4 Calculation and Payment of Additional Rent. If for any Expense Year ending or commencing within the Lease Term, the applicable Tenant’s Share of Building Direct Expenses for such Expense Year exceeds the applicable Tenant’s Share of Building Direct Expenses applicable to the Base Year for the Premises, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in the manner set forth in Section 4.4.1, below, and as Additional Rent, an amount equal to the excess (the “Excess”).
4.4.1 Statement of Actual Building Direct Expenses and Payment by Tenant. Landlord shall give to Tenant following the end of each Expense Year, a statement (the “Statement”) which shall state the Building Direct Expenses incurred or accrued for such preceding Expense Year and which shall indicate the amount of the Excess. Upon receipt of the Statement for each Expense Year commencing or ending during the Lease Term, if an Excess is present, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Base Rent due, the full amount of the Excess for such Expense Year, less the amounts, if any, paid during such Expense Year as Estimated Excess (as defined below), and if Tenant paid more as Estimated Excess than the actual Excess, Tenant shall receive a credit in the amount of Tenant’s overpayment against Rent next due under this Lease. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Statement for any Expense Year shall not prejudice Landlord or Tenant from enforcing its rights under this Article 4. Even though the Lease Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final
15
LAKESHORE TOWERS BUILDING II [United PanAm Financial Corp.] |
determination is made of Tenant’s Share of Building Direct Expenses for the Expense Year in which this Lease terminates, if an Excess is present, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord such amount, and if Tenant paid more as Estimated Excess than the actual Excess, Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days, deliver a check payable to Tenant in the amount of the overpayment. The provisions of this Section 4.4.1 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.
4.4.2 Statement of Estimated Building Direct Expenses. Landlord shall give Tenant a yearly expense estimate statement (the “Estimate Statement”) which shall set forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate (the “Estimate”) of what the total amount of Building Direct Expenses for the then-current Expense Year shall be and the estimated excess (the “Estimated Excess”) as calculated by comparing the Building Direct Expenses for such Expense Year, which shall be based upon the Estimate, to the amount of Building Direct Expenses for the Base Year. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Estimate Statement for any Expense Year shall not preclude Landlord from enforcing its rights to collect any Estimated Excess under this Article 4, nor shall Landlord be prohibited from revising any Estimate Statement or Estimated Excess theretofore delivered to the extent necessary. Thereafter, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Base Rent due, a fraction of the Estimated Excess for the then-current Expense Year (reduced by any amounts paid pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 4.4.2). Such fraction shall have as its numerator the number of months which have elapsed in such current Expense Year, including the month of such payment, and twelve (12) as its denominator. Until a new Estimate Statement is furnished (which Landlord shall have the right to deliver to Tenant at any time), Tenant shall pay monthly, with the monthly Base Rent installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the total Estimated Excess set forth in the previous Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant.
4.5 Taxes and Other Charges for Which Tenant Is Directly Responsible.
4.5.1 Personal Property Taxes. Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay ten (10) days before delinquency, taxes levied against Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and any other personal property located in or about the Premises. If any such taxes on Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and any other personal property are levied against Landlord or Landlord’s property or if the assessed value of Landlord’s property is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon such equipment, furniture, fixtures or any other personal property and if Landlord pays the taxes based upon such increased assessment, which Landlord shall have the right to do regardless of the validity thereof but only under proper protest if requested by Tenant, Tenant shall upon demand repay to Landlord the taxes so levied against Landlord or the proportion of such taxes resulting from such increase in the assessment, as the case may be.
4.5.2 Taxes on Improvements in Premises. If the tenant improvements in the Premises, whether installed and/or paid for by Landlord or Tenant and whether or not affixed to the real property so as to become a part thereof, are assessed for real property tax purposes at a valuation higher than the valuation at which tenant improvements conforming to Landlord’s “building standard” in other space in the Building are assessed, then the Tax Expenses levied against Landlord or the property by reason of such excess assessed valuation shall be deemed to be taxes levied against personal property of Tenant and shall be governed by the provisions of Section 4.5.1, above; provided that Landlord uniformly applies such excess assessed valuation for the same period uniformly to all tenants in the Building.
4.5.3 Other Taxes. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency any (i) rent tax or sales tax, service tax, transfer tax or value added tax, or any other applicable tax on the rent or services herein or otherwise respecting this Lease, (ii) taxes assessed upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion of the Project, including the Project parking facility, or (iii) taxes assessed upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises.
4.6 Landlord’s Books and Records. Within six (6) months after receipt of a Statement by Tenant, if Tenant disputes the amount of Additional Rent set forth in the Statement, an independent certified public accountant (which accountant is a member of a nationally or regionally recognized accounting firm, has previous experience in reviewing financial operating
16
LAKESHORE TOWERS BUILDING II [United PanAm Financial Corp.] |
records of landlords of office buildings, and is retained by Tenant on a non contingency fee basis) (the “Tenant Auditor”), designated and paid for by Tenant, may, after reasonable notice to Landlord and at reasonable times, inspect Landlord’s records with respect to the Statement at Landlord’s offices, provided that Tenant is not then in default under this Lease and Tenant has paid all amounts required to be paid under the applicable Estimated Statement and Statement, as the case may be. In connection with such inspection, Tenant and Tenant’s agents must agree in advance to follow Landlord’s reasonable rules and procedures regarding inspections of Landlord’s records, and shall execute a commercially reasonable confidentiality agreement regarding such inspection. Tenant’s failure to dispute the amount of Additional Rent set forth in any Statement within six (6) months following Tenant’s receipt of such Statement shall be deemed to be Tenant’s approval of such Statement and Tenant, thereafter, waives the right or ability to dispute the amounts set forth in such Statement. If after such inspection, Tenant still disputes such Additional Rent, a determination as to the proper amount shall be made, at Tenant’s expense, by an independent certified public accountant (the “Accountant”) selected by Landlord and subject to Tenant’s reasonable approval; provided that if such certification by the Accountant proves that Direct Expenses were overstated by more than five percent (5%), then the cost of the Accountant, and the cost of such determination certification, shall be paid for by Landlord. Any reimbursement amounts determined to be owing by Landlord to Tenant or by Tenant to Landlord shall be (i) in the case of amounts owing from Tenant to Landlord, paid within thirty (30) days following such determination, and (ii) in the case of amounts owing from Landlord to Tenant, credited against the next payment of Rent due Landlord under the terms of this Lease, or if the Lease Term has expired, paid to Tenant within thirty (30) days following such determination. In no event shall this Section 4.6 be deemed to allow any review of any of Landlord’s records by any subtenant of Tenant. Tenant agrees that this Section 4.6 shall be the sole method to be used by Tenant to dispute the amount of any Direct Expenses payable or not payable by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and Tenant hereby waives any other rights at law or in equity relating thereto.
4.7 Security Deposit.
4.7.1 Security Deposit. Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit or cause to be deposited with Landlord a cash sum in the amount of Eighty-Seven Thousand Three Hundred Ninety-Nine and 20/100 Dollars ($87,399.20) (the “Security Deposit”). Landlord shall hold the Security Deposit as security for the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. If Tenant defaults on any provision of this Lease, Landlord may, after such notice as may be required under this Lease and without prejudice to any other remedy it has, apply all or a part of the Security Deposit to:
4.7.1.1 Any Rent or other sum in default; or
4.7.1.2 Any expense, loss, or damage that Landlord may suffer because of Tenant’s default including, without limitation, Rent that would accrue after such default.
4.7.2 Landlord’s Transfer of Security Deposit on Transfer of Real Property. If Landlord disposes of its interests in the Premises, Landlord may deliver or credit the Security Deposit to Landlord’s successor-in-interest in the Premises and thereupon be relieved of further responsibility with respect to the Security Deposit.
4.7.3 Restoration of Security Deposit. If Landlord applies any portion of the Security Deposit pursuant to Section 4.7.1 above, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after demand by Landlord, deposit with Landlord an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount.
4.7.4 Interest on Security Deposit. Tenant is not entitled to any interest on the Security Deposit.
4.7.5 Return of Security Deposit. If Tenant performs every provision of this Lease to be performed by Tenant, the unused portion of the Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant or the last assignee of Tenant’s interest under this Lease within thirty (30) days following the expiration or termination of the Lease Term.

4.8.1 Delivery of Letter of Credit. In lieu of depositing cash in the amount of the Security Deposit with Landlord, Tenant may, on execution of this Lease, deliver to Landlord and cause to be in effect during the Lease Term an unconditional, irrevocable letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) in the amount specified in Section 8 of the Summary (which amount is the amount of the Security Deposit) (the “Letter of Credit Amount”). The Letter of Credit shall be in form and content acceptable to Landlord, in its sole discretion, and shall be issued by a financial institution selected by Tenant and reasonably acceptable to Landlord (the “Letter of Credit Bank”). The Letter of Credit Bank must be a financial institution that accepts deposits, maintains accounts, has a local Orange County, California office that will negotiate a letter of credit, and the deposits of which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Tenant shall pay all expenses, points, or fees incurred by Tenant in obtaining the Letter of Credit. If the term of the Letter of Credit will expire prior to the expiration of the Lease Term, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, at least thirty (30) days prior to the Letter of Credit expiration date, a renewal of the Letter of Credit or replacement Letter of Credit which satisfies the conditions of Section 4.8.2.
4.8.2 Replacement of Letter of Credit. Tenant may, from time to time, replace any existing Letter of Credit with a new letter of Credit (which new Letter of Credit may reflect a reduced Letter of Credit amount contemplated by Section 4.8.1 above), if the new Letter of Credit:
(i) becomes effective at least thirty (30) days before expiration of the Letter of Credit that it replaces;
(ii) is in the required Letter of Credit Amount;
(iii) is issued by a Letter of Credit Bank; and
(iv) otherwise complies with the requirements of this Section 4.
4.8.3 Landlord Right to Draw on Letter of Credit. Landlord shall hold the Letter of Credit as security for the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. If Tenant defaults on any provision of this Lease, Landlord may, after such notice as may be required under this Lease and without prejudice to any other remedy it has, draw on the Letter of Credit to (i) pay any Rent or other sum in default or (ii) pay or reimburse any expense, loss, or damage that Landlord may suffer because of Tenant’s default. If Tenant fails to renew or replace the Letter of Credit at least thirty (30) days before its expiration, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy it has, draw on all of the Letter of Credit.
4.8.4 Letter of Credit Security Deposit. Any amount of the Letter of Credit that is drawn on by Landlord but not applied by Landlord shall be held by Landlord and shall be treated as the Security Deposit which may be applied by Landlord for the purposes described in Section 4.7.
4.8.5 Restoration of Letter of Credit. If Landlord draws on any portion of the Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 4.8.3 above, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after demand by Landlord, cause the Letter of Credit Amount to be restored as such amount may be reduced pursuant to Section 4.8.1 above.
4.8.6 Landlord’s Transfer of Letter of Credit on Transfer of Premises. If Landlord disposes of its interest in the Premises, Landlord shall transfer or assign the Letter of Credit to the Landlord’s successor-in-interest in the Premises and thereupon be relieved of further responsibility with respect to the Letter of Credit.

or increase the water normally furnished for the Premises by Landlord pursuant to the terms of Section 6.1 of this Lease. If Tenant uses water, heat or air conditioning in excess of that supplied by Landlord pursuant to Section 6.1 of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon billing, the actual cost of such excess consumption, the cost of the installation, operation, and maintenance of equipment which is installed in order to supply such excess consumption, and the cost of the increased wear and tear on existing equipment caused by such excess consumption; and Landlord may install devices to separately meter any increased use and in such event Tenant shall pay the cost of such increased use directly to Landlord, on demand, at the rates charged by the public utility company furnishing the same, including the cost of such additional metering devices. If Tenant desires to use HVAC during non-Building Hours, Tenant shall give Landlord such prior notice, if any, as Landlord shall from time to time establish as appropriate, of Tenant’s desired use in order to supply HVAC, and Landlord shall supply HVAC to the Premises. The cost of after-hours HVAC is currently Sixty Dollars ($60.00) per hour, per floor. Is this pro-rated for the 2nd floor?Such cost shall increase hereafter only to the extent of an increase occurring after the date of this Lease in the actual cost to Landlord of providing such HVAC services.

6.2.2 Electrical Usage. If in any month Tenant uses electricity (not including any electricity consumed in connection with the operation of the Building’s main HVAC system) in excess of the Electricity Usage Standard (as defined below), Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon billing, Landlord’s cost of such excess consumption and the reasonable cost of the installation, operation, and maintenance of equipment which is required to be installed to supply such excess capacity and/or consumption to Tenant.

Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for damages, by abatement of Rent or otherwise, for failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any service (including telephone and telecommunication services), or for any diminution in the quality or quantity thereof, when such failure or delay or diminution is occasioned, in whole or in part, by breakage, repairs, replacements, or improvements, by any strike, lockout or other labor trouble, by inability to secure electricity, gas, water, or other fuel at the Building or Project after reasonable effort to do so, by any riot or other dangerous condition, emergency, accident or casualty whatsoever, by act or default of Tenant or other parties, or by any other cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control; and such failures or delays or diminution shall never be deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises or relieve Tenant from paying Rent or performing any of its obligations under this Lease. Furthermore, Landlord shall not be liable under any circumstances for a loss of, or injury to, property or for injury to, or interference with, Tenant’s business, including, without limitation, loss of profits, however occurring, through or in connection with or incidental to a failure to furnish any of the services or utilities as set forth in this Article 6.

ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS
8.1 Landlord’s Consent to Alterations. Tenant may not make any improvements, alterations, additions or changes to the Premises or any mechanical, plumbing or HVAC facilities or systems pertaining to the Premises (collectively, the “Alterations”) without first procuring the prior written consent of Landlord to such Alterations, which consent shall be requested by Tenant not less than thirty (30) days prior to the commencement thereof, and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld by Landlord, provided it shall be deemed reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to any Alteration which adversely affects the structural portions or the systems or equipment of the Building or is visible from the exterior of the Building. The construction of the initial improvements to the Premises shall be governed by the terms of the Tenant Work Letter and not the terms of this Article 8.
8.2 Manner of Construction.
8.2.1 Conditions to Alterations. Landlord may impose, as a condition of its consent to any and all Alterations or repairs of the Premises or about the Premises, such requirements as Landlord in its reasonable discretion may deem desirable, including, but not limited to, (i) the requirement that Tenant utilize for such purposes only contractors, subcontractors, materials, mechanics and materialmen selected by Tenant from a list provided and approved by Landlord, and (ii) the requirement that upon Landlord’s request Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, remove such Alterations upon the expiration or any early termination of the Lease Term. Tenant shall construct such Alterations and perform such repairs in a good and workmanlike manner, in conformance with any and all applicable federal, state, county or municipal laws, rules and regulations and pursuant to a valid building permit, issued by the City of Irvine, all in conformance with Landlord’s construction rules and regulations; provided, however, that prior to commencing to construct any Alteration, Tenant shall meet with Landlord to discuss Landlord’s design parameters and code compliance issues. In performing the work of any such Alterations, Tenant shall have the work performed in such manner as not to obstruct access to the Project or any portion thereof, by any other tenant of the Project, and so as not to obstruct the business of Landlord or other tenants in the Project. Tenant shall not use (and upon notice from Landlord shall cease using) contractors, services, workmen, labor, materials or equipment that, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, would disturb labor harmony with the workforce or trades engaged in performing other work, labor or services in or about the Building or the Common Areas. In addition to Tenant’s obligations under Article 9 of this Lease, upon completion of any Alterations, Tenant agrees to cause a Notice of Completion to be recorded in the office of the Recorder of the County of Orange, in accordance with Section 3093 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any successor statute, and Tenant shall deliver to the Project construction manager a reproducible copy of the “as built” drawings of the Alterations, as well as all permits, approvals and other documents issued by any governmental agency in connection with the Alterations.
8.2.1.1 Base Building Changes. In the event any Alterations which Tenant proposes to make to the Premises require or give rise to governmentally-required changes (“Additional Required Work”) to the Base Building, Landlord and Tenant shall work together to eliminate, if possible, or otherwise minimize the Additional Required Work. Absent elimination of such Additional Required Work or a mutually acceptable allocation of such
21
LAKESHORE TOWERS BUILDING II [United PanAm Financial Corp.] |
changes as between Landlord and Tenant, the cost of such changes shall be borne by Tenant. As used herein, (i) “Base Building” means the structural portions of the Building, the Base Building Systems, the public restrooms, elevators, exit stairwells and the systems and equipment located in the internal core of the Building, and (ii) “Base Building Systems” means all systems and equipment (including plumbing, HVAC, electrical fire/life/safety elevator and security systems) that serve all or part of the Building.
8.3 Payment for Improvements. If payment is made directly to contractors, Tenant shall (i) comply with Landlord’s requirements for final lien releases and waivers in connection with Tenant’s payment for work to contractors, and (ii) cause its contractors to sign Landlord’s standard contractor’s rules and regulations. If Tenant orders any work directly from Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the cost of such work to compensate Landlord for all overhead, general conditions, fees and other costs and expenses arising from Landlord’s involvement with such work. If Tenant does not order any work directly from Landlord, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable, actual, out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred in connection with Landlord’s review of such work.
8.4 Construction Insurance. In addition to the requirements of Article 10 of this Lease, in the event that Tenant makes any Alterations, prior to the commencement of such Alterations, Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence that Tenant carries “Builder’s All Risk” insurance in an amount approved by Landlord covering the construction of such Alterations, and such other insurance as Landlord may reasonably require, it being understood and agreed that all of such Alterations shall be insured by Tenant pursuant to Article 10 of this Lease immediately upon completion thereof. In addition, in connection with any Alteration Landlord may, in its discretion, require Tenant to obtain a lien and completion bond or some alternate form of security satisfactory to Landlord in an amount sufficient to ensure the lien-free completion of such Alterations and naming Landlord as a co-obligee.
8.5 Landlord’s Property. All Alterations, improvements, fixtures, equipment and/or appurtenances which may be installed or placed in or about the Premises, from time to time, shall be at the sole cost of Tenant and shall be and become the property of Landlord, except that Tenant may remove any Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment which Tenant can substantiate to Landlord have not been paid for with any Tenant improvement allowance funds provided to Tenant by Landlord, provided Tenant repairs any damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal and returns the affected portion of the Premises to a building standard tenant improved condition as determined by Landlord. Furthermore, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant prior to the end of the Lease Term, or given following any earlier termination of this Lease, require Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, to remove any such Alterations or improvements and to repair any damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal and returns the affected portion of the Premises to a building standard tenant improved condition as determined by Landlord. If Tenant fails to complete such removal and/or to repair any damage caused by the removal of any Alterations or improvements in the Premises and return the affected portion of the Premises to a building standard tenant improved condition as reasonably determined by Landlord, Landlord may do so and may charge the cost thereof to Tenant. Tenant hereby protects, defends, indemnifies and holds Landlord harmless from any liability, cost, obligation, expense or claim of lien in any manner relating to the installation, placement, removal or financing of any such Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment in, on or about the Premises, which obligations of Tenant shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
8.6 Communications and Computer Lines. Tenant may install, maintain, replace, remove or use any communications or computer wires and cables (collectively, the “Lines”) in or serving the Premises, provided that (i) Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s prior written consent, use an experienced and qualified contractor approved in writing by Landlord, and comply with all of the other provisions of Articles 7 and 8 of this Lease, (ii) an acceptable number of spare Lines and space for additional Lines shall be maintained for existing and future occupants of the Project, as determined in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, (iii) the Lines (including riser cables) shall be appropriately insulated to prevent excessive electromagnetic fields or radiation, and shall be surrounded by a protective conduit reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (iv) any new or existing Lines servicing the Premises shall comply with all applicable governmental laws and regulations, (v) as a condition to permitting the installation of new Lines, Landlord may require that Tenant remove existing Lines located in or serving the Premises and repair any damage in
22
LAKESHORE TOWERS BUILDING II [United PanAm Financial Corp.] |
connection with such removal, and (vi) Tenant shall pay all costs in connection therewith. Landlord reserves the right to require that Tenant remove any Lines located in or serving the Premises which are installed in violation of these provisions, or which are at any time in violation of any laws or represent a dangerous or potentially dangerous condition.
ARTICLE 9
COVENANT AGAINST LIENS
Tenant shall keep the Project and Premises free from any liens or encumbrances arising out of the work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or on behalf of Tenant, and shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, judgments or costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising out of same or in connection therewith. Tenant shall give Landlord notice at least twenty (20) days prior to the commencement of any such work on the Premises (or such additional time as may be necessary under Applicable Laws (as defined below)) to afford Landlord the opportunity of posting and recording appropriate notices of non-responsibility. Tenant shall remove any such lien or encumbrance by bond or otherwise within ten (10) days after notice by Landlord, and if Tenant shall fail to do so, Landlord may pay the amount necessary to remove such lien or encumbrance, without being responsible for investigating the validity thereof. The amount so paid shall be deemed Additional Rent under this Lease payable upon demand, without limitation as to other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease. Nothing contained in this Lease shall authorize Tenant to do any act which shall subject Landlord’s title to the Building or Premises to any liens or encumbrances whether claimed by operation of law or express or implied contract. Any claim to a lien or encumbrance upon the Building or Premises arising in connection with any such work or respecting the Premises not performed by or at the request of Landlord shall be null and void, or at Landlord’s option shall attach only against Tenant’s interest in the Premises and shall in all respects be subordinate to Landlord’s title to the Project, Building and Premises.
ARTICLE 10
INSURANCE
10.1 Indemnification and Waiver. Tenant hereby assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to persons in, upon or about the Premises from any cause whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any personal injuries resulting from a slip and fall in, upon or about the Premises) and agrees that Landlord, its partners, subpartners and their respective officers, agents, servants, employees, and independent contractors (collectively, “Landlord Parties”) shall not be liable for, and are hereby released from any responsibility for, any damage either to person or property or resulting from the loss of use thereof, which damage is sustained by Tenant or by other persons claiming through Tenant, provided that the terms of the foregoing assumption of risks shall not apply to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless the Landlord Parties from any and all loss, cost, damage, expense and liability (including without limitation court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with or arising from any cause in, on or about the Premises (including, but not limited to, a slip and fall), any acts, omissions or negligence of Tenant or of any person claiming by, through or under Tenant, or of the contractors, agents, servants, employees, invitees, guests or licensees of Tenant or any such person, in, on or about the Project or any breach of the terms of this Lease, either prior to, during, or after the expiration of the Lease Term, provided that the terms of the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord. Should Landlord be named as a defendant in any suit brought against Tenant in connection with or arising out of Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises, Tenant shall pay to Landlord its costs and expenses incurred in such suit, including without limitation, its actual professional fees such as reasonable appraisers’, accountants’ and attorneys’ fees. The provisions of this Section 10.1 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease with respect to any claims or liability arising in connection with any event occurring prior to such expiration or termination.
10.2 Tenant’s Compliance With Landlord’s Fire and Casualty Insurance. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, comply with all insurance company requirements pertaining to the use of the Premises. If Tenant’s conduct or use of the Premises causes any increase in the premium
23
LAKESHORE TOWERS BUILDING II [United PanAm Financial Corp.] |
for such insurance policies then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any such increase. Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations or requirements of the American Insurance Association (formerly the National Board of Fire Underwriters) and with any similar body.
10.3 Tenant’s Insurance. Tenant shall maintain the following coverages in the following amounts.
10.3.1 Commercial General Liability Insurance covering the insured against claims of bodily injury, personal injury and property damage (including loss of use thereof) arising out of Tenant’s operations, and contractual liabilities (covering the performance by Tenant of its indemnity agreements) including a Broad Form endorsement covering the insuring provisions of this Lease and the performance by Tenant of the indemnity agreements set forth in Section 10.1 of this Lease, for limits of liability not less than:
Bodily Injury and Property Damage Liability |

Such insurance shall be written on an “all risks” of physical loss or damage basis, for the full replacement cost value (subject to reasonable deductible amounts) new without deduction for depreciation of the covered items and in amounts that meet any co-insurance clauses of the policies of insurance and shall include coverage for damage or other loss caused by fire or other peril including, but not limited to, vandalism and malicious mischief, theft, water damage of any type, including sprinkler leakage, bursting or stoppage of pipes, and explosion, and providing business interruption coverage for a period of one year.
10.3.3 Worker’s Compensation and Employer’s Liability or other similar insurance pursuant to all applicable state and local statutes and regulations.
10.4 Form of Policies. The minimum limits of policies of insurance required of Tenant under this Lease shall in no event limit the liability of Tenant under this Lease. Such insurance shall (i) name Landlord, and any other party the Landlord so specifies, as an additional insured, including Landlord’s managing agent, if any; (ii) specifically cover the liability assumed by Tenant under this Lease, including, but not limited to, Tenant’s obligations under Section 10.1 of this Lease; (iii) be issued by an insurance company having a rating of not less than A-X in Best’s Insurance Guide or which is otherwise acceptable to Landlord and licensed to do business in the State of California; (iv) be primary insurance as to all claims thereunder and provide that any insurance carried by Landlord is excess and is non-contributing with any insurance requirement of Tenant; (v) be in form and content reasonably acceptable to Landlord; and (vi) provide that said insurance shall not be canceled or coverage changed unless thirty (30) days’ prior written notice shall have been given to Landlord and any mortgagee of Landlord. Tenant shall deliver said policy or policies or certificates thereof to Landlord on or before the Lease Commencement Date and at least thirty (30) days before the expiration dates thereof. In the event Tenant shall fail to procure such insurance, or to deliver such policies or certificate, Landlord may, at its option, procure such policies for the account of Tenant, and the cost thereof shall be paid to Landlord within five (5) days after delivery to Tenant of bills therefor.
10.5 Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant intend that their respective property loss risks shall be borne by insurance carriers to the extent above provided, and Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to look solely to, and seek recovery only from, their respective insurance carriers in the event of a property loss to the extent that such coverage is agreed to be provided hereunder. The parties each hereby waive all rights and claims against each other for such losses, and waive
24
LAKESHORE TOWERS BUILDING II [United PanAm Financial Corp.] |
all rights of subrogation of their respective insurers, provided such waiver of subrogation shall not affect the right to the insured to recover thereunder. The parties agree that their respective insurance policies are now, or shall be, endorsed such that the waiver of subrogation shall not affect the right of the insured to recover thereunder, so long as no material additional premium is charged therefor.
10.6 Additional Insurance Obligations. Tenant shall carry and maintain during the entire Lease Term, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, increased amounts of the insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Article 10 and such other reasonable types of insurance coverage and in such reasonable amounts covering the Premises and Tenant’s operations therein, as may be reasonably requested by Landlord, but in no event in excess of the amounts and types of insurance then being required of tenants in Comparable Buildings occupying comparable space and engaged in a similar use as Tenant.
ARTICLE 11
DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION
11.1 Repair of Damage to Premises by Landlord.
11.1.1 Damage to Building. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any damage to the Premises resulting from fire or any other casualty. If the Premises or any Common Areas serving or providing access to the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustment or other matters beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, and subject to all other terms of this Article 11, restore the Base Building and such Common Areas. Such restoration shall be to substantially the same condition of the Base Building and the Common Areas prior to the casualty, except for modifications required by zoning and building codes and other laws or by the holder of a mortgage on the Building or Project or any other modifications to the Common Areas deemed desirable by Landlord, which are consistent with the character of the Project, provided that access to the Premises and any restrooms serving the Premises shall not be materially impaired.
11.1.2 Damage to Premises. Upon the occurrence of any damage to the Premises, upon notice (the “Landlord Repair Notice”) to Tenant from Landlord, Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or to any party designated by Landlord) all insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant’s insurance required under Section 10.3.2(ii) and (iii) of this Lease, and Landlord shall repair any injury or damage to the Tenant Improvements and the Original Improvements installed in the Premises and shall return such Tenant Improvements and Original Improvements to their original condition; provided that if the cost of such repair by Landlord exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord from Tenant’s insurance carrier, as assigned by Tenant, the cost of such repairs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord prior to Landlord’s commencement of repair of the damage. In the event that Landlord does not deliver the Landlord Repair Notice within sixty (60) days following the date the casualty becomes known to Landlord, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, repair any injury or damage to the Tenant Improvements and the Original Improvements installed in the Premises and shall return such Tenant Improvements and Original Improvements to their original condition. Whether or not Landlord delivers a Landlord Repair Notice, prior to the commencement of construction, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, for Landlord’s review and approval, all plans, specifications and working drawings relating thereto, and Landlord shall select the contractors to perform such improvement work. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or its visitors, or injury to Tenant’s business resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof; provided however, that if such fire or other casualty shall have damaged the Premises or Common Areas necessary to Tenant’s occupancy, and the Premises are not occupied by Tenant as a result thereof, then during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy, the Rent shall be abated in proportion to the ratio that the amount of rentable square feet of the Premises which is unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Lease bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises. In the event that Landlord shall not deliver the Landlord Repair Notice, Tenant’s right to rent abatement pursuant to the preceding sentence shall terminate as of the date which is reasonably determined by Landlord to be the date Tenant should have completed repairs to the Premises assuming Tenant used reasonable due diligence in connection therewith.
25
LAKESHORE TOWERS BUILDING II [United PanAm Financial Corp.] |
11.2 Landlord’s Option to Repair. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 11.1 of this Lease, Landlord may elect not to rebuild and/or restore the Premises, Building and/or Project, and instead terminate this Lease, by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within sixty (60) days after the date of discovery of the damage, such notice to include a termination date giving Tenant sixty (60) days to vacate the Premises, but Landlord may so elect only if the Building or Project shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or cause, whether or not the Premises are affected, and one or more of the following conditions is present: (i) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, repairs cannot reasonably be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of discovery of the damage (when such repairs are made without the payment of overtime or other premiums); (ii) the holder of any mortgage on the Building or Project or ground lessor with respect to the Building or Project shall require that the insurance proceeds or any portion thereof be used to retire the mortgage debt, or shall terminate the ground lease, as the case may be; (iii) the damage is not fully covered by Landlord’s insurance policies; (iv) Landlord decides to rebuild the Building or Common Areas so that they will be substantially different structurally or architecturally; or (v) the damage occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term. In the event Landlord does not terminate this Lease as set forth above, and in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, the repairs cannot be completed within such one hundred eighty (180) days, as set forth in (i) above, Landlord shall provide Tenant with written notice of the time within which such repairs may be completed, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment.
11.3 Waiver of Statutory Provisions. The provisions of this Lease, including this Article 11, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the Premises, the Building or the Project, and any statute or regulation of the State of California, including, without limitation, Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) of the California Civil Code, with respect to any rights or obligations concerning damage or destruction in the absence of an express agreement between the parties, and any other statute or regulation, now or hereafter in effect, shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of the Premises, the Building or the Project.
ARTICLE 12
NONWAIVER
No provision of this Lease shall be deemed waived by either party hereto unless expressly waived in a writing signed thereby. The waiver by either party hereto of any breach of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of Rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such Rent. No acceptance of a lesser amount than the Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to receive the full amount due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or payment or any letter accompanying such check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the full amount due. No receipt of monies by Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease shall in any way alter the length of the Lease Term or of Tenant’s right of possession hereunder, or after the giving of any notice shall reinstate, continue or extend the Lease Term or affect any notice given Tenant prior to the receipt of such monies, it being agreed that after the service of notice or the commencement of a suit, or after final judgment for possession of the Premises, Landlord may receive and collect any Rent due, and the payment of Rent shall not waive or affect said notice, suit or judgment.
ARTICLE 13
CONDEMNATION
If the whole or any material part of the Premises, Building or Project shall be taken by power of eminent domain or condemned by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or if any adjacent property or street shall be so taken or condemned, or reconfigured or vacated by such authority in such manner as to require the use, reconstruction or remodeling of any material part of the Premises, Building or Project, or if Landlord shall grant a deed or other
26
LAKESHORE TOWERS BUILDING II [United PanAm Financial Corp.] |
instrument in lieu of such taking by eminent domain or condemnation, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to the authority. If more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the rentable square feet of the Premises is taken, or if access to the Premises is substantially impaired, in each case for a period in excess of ninety (90) days, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to the authority. Tenant shall not because of such taking assert any claim against Landlord or the authority for any compensation because of such taking and Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award or payment in connection therewith, except that Tenant shall have the right to file any separate claim available to Tenant for any taking of Tenant’s personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant and removable by Tenant upon expiration of the Lease Term pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and for moving expenses, so long as such claims do not diminish the award available to Landlord, its ground lessor with respect to the Building or Project or its mortgagee, and such claim is payable separately to Tenant. All Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination. If any part of the Premises shall be taken, and this Lease shall not be so terminated, the Rent shall be proportionately abated. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it might otherwise have pursuant to Section 1265.130 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 13, in the event of a temporary taking of all or any portion of the Premises for a period of ninety (90) days or less, then this Lease shall not terminate but the Base Rent and the Additional Rent shall be abated for the period of such taking in proportion to the ratio that the amount of rentable square feet of the Premises taken bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award made in connection with any such temporary taking.
ARTICLE 14
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
14.1 Transfers. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, or permit any lien to attach to, or otherwise transfer, this Lease or any interest hereunder, permit any assignment, or other transfer of this Lease or any interest hereunder by operation of law, sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or enter into any license or concession agreements or otherwise permit the occupancy or use of the Premises or any part thereof by any persons other than Tenant and its employees and contractors (all of the foregoing are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as “Transfer(s)” and any person to whom any Transfer is made or sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes referred to as a “Transferee”). If Tenant desires Landlord’s consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing, which notice (the “Transfer Notice”) shall include (i) the proposed effective date of the Transfer, which shall not be less than fifteen (15) days nor more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of delivery of the Transfer Notice, (ii) a description of the portion of the Premises to be transferred (the “Subject Space”), (iii) all of the terms of the proposed Transfer and the consideration therefor, including calculation of the Transfer Premium (as defined below) in connection with such Transfer, the name and address of the proposed Transferee, and a copy of all existing executed and/or proposed documentation pertaining to the proposed Transfer, including all existing operative documents to be executed to evidence such Transfer or the agreements incidental or related to such Transfer, (iv) current financial statements of the proposed Transferee certified by an officer, partner or owner thereof, business credit and personal references and history of the proposed Transferee and any other information reasonably required by Landlord which will enable Landlord to determine the financial responsibility, character, and reputation of the proposed Transferee, nature of such Transferee’s business and proposed use of the Subject Space, and (v) an executed estoppel certificate from Tenant in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G. Any Transfer made without Landlord’s prior written consent shall, at Landlord’s option, be null, void and of no effect, and shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease. Whether or not Landlord consents to any proposed Transfer, Tenant shall pay Landlord’s reasonable review and processing fees, as well as any reasonable professional fees (including, without limitation, attorneys’, accountants’, architects’, engineers’ and consultants’ fees) incurred by Landlord, within fifteen (15) days after written request by Landlord, in an amount not to exceed One Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($1,500) in the aggregate, for a Transfer in the ordinary course of business (for purposes hereof, a Transfer shall be deemed not to be in the “ordinary course of business” if Landlord is required to review documentation related to such Transfer on more than two (2) separate occasions).
27
LAKESHORE TOWERS BUILDING II [United PanAm Financial Corp.] |
14.2 Landlord’s Consent. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to any proposed Transfer of the Subject Space to the Transferee on the terms specified in the Transfer Notice. Without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent, the parties hereby agree that it shall be reasonable under this Lease and under any applicable law for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer where one or more of the following apply:
14.2.1 The Transferee is of a character or reputation or engaged in a business which is not consistent with the quality of the Building or the Project;
14.2.2 The Transferee intends to use the Subject Space for purposes which are not permitted under this Lease;
14.2.3 The Transferee is either a governmental agency or instrumentality thereof;
14.2.4 The Transferee is not a party of reasonable financial worth and/or financial stability in light of the responsibilities to be undertaken in connection with the Transfer on the date consent is requested;
14.2.5 The proposed Transfer would cause a violation of another lease for space in the Project, or would give an occupant of the Project a right to cancel its lease; or
14.2.6 Either the proposed Transferee, or any person or entity which directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the proposed Transferee, (i) occupies space in the Project at the time of the request for consent, or (ii) is negotiating with Landlord or has negotiated with Landlord during the six (6) month period immediately preceding the date Landlord receives the Transfer Notice to lease space in the Project and, at the time Tenant requests approval of the Transfer, there is space within the Project which would satisfy the space requirements of such Transferee.
If Landlord consents to any Transfer pursuant to the terms of this Section 14.2, Tenant may within six (6) months after Landlord’s consent, but not later than the expiration of said six-month period, enter into such Transfer of the Premises or portion thereof, upon the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Transfer Notice furnished by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Section 14.1 of this Lease, provided that if there are any changes in the terms and conditions from those specified in the Transfer Notice (i) such that Landlord would initially have been entitled to refuse its consent to such Transfer under this Section 14.2, or (ii) which would cause the proposed Transfer to be more favorable to the Transferee than the terms set forth in Tenant’s original Transfer Notice, Tenant shall again submit the Transfer to Landlord for its approval and other action under this Article 14. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if Tenant or any proposed Transferee claims that Landlord has unreasonably withheld or delayed its consent under Section 14.2 or otherwise has breached or acted unreasonably under this Article 14, their sole remedies shall be a suit for declaratory judgment and an injunction for the relief sought, and Tenant hereby waives all other remedies, including, without limitation, any right at law or equity to terminate this Lease, on its own behalf and, to the extent permitted under all applicable laws, on behalf of the proposed Transferee.
14.3 Transfer Premium. If Landlord consents to a Transfer as a condition thereto which the parties hereby agree is reasonable, Tenant shall pay to Landlord one-half (1/2) of any Transfer Premium received by Tenant from such Transferee. “Transfer Premium” shall mean all rent, additional rent or other consideration payable by such Transferee in connection with the Transfer in excess of the Base Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease during the term of the Transfer (on a per rentable square foot basis if less than all of the Premises is transferred), after deducting the reasonable expenses for any reasonable brokerage commissions in connection with the Transfer incurred by Tenant (“Tenant’s Transfer Costs”). “Transfer Premium” shall also include, but not be limited to, key money, bonus money or other cash consideration paid by Transferee to Tenant in connection with such Transfer, and any payment in excess of fair market value for services rendered by Tenant to Transferee or for assets, fixtures, inventory, equipment, or furniture transferred by Tenant to Transferee in connection with such Transfer. The determination of the amount of Landlord’s applicable share of the Transfer Premium shall be made on a monthly basis as rent or other consideration is
28
LAKESHORE TOWERS BUILDING II [United PanAm Financial Corp.] |
received by Tenant under the Transfer. For purposes of calculating the Transfer Premium on a monthly basis, (i) Tenant’s Transfer Costs shall be deemed to be expended by Tenant in equal monthly amounts over the entire term of the Transfer and (ii) the Rent paid for the Subject Space by Tenant shall be computed after adjusting such rent to the actual effective rent to be paid, taking into consideration any and all leasehold concessions granted in connection therewith, including, but not limited to, any rent credit and tenant improvement allowance. For purposes of calculating any such effective rent all such concessions shall be amortized on a straight-line basis over the relevant term.
14.4 Landlord’s Option as to Subject Space. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14, in the event Tenant contemplates a Transfer of all or a portion of the Premises (or in the event of any other Transfer or Transfers entered into by Tenant as a subterfuge in order to avoid the terms of this Section 14.4), Tenant shall give Landlord notice (the “Intention to Transfer Notice”) of such contemplated transfer (whether or not such contemplated transfer or any of the terms of such contemplated transfer have been determined). The Intention to Transfer Notice shall specify the portion of the rentable amount of square feet of the Premises which Tenant intends to transfer (the “Contemplated Transfer Space”), the contemplated date of commencement of the contemplated transfer (the “Contemplated Effective Date”) and the contemplated length of the term of such contemplated transfer, and shall specify that such Intention to Transfer Notice is delivered to Landlord pursuant to this Section 14.4 in order to allow Landlord to elect to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space for the term set forth in the Intention to Transfer Notice. Thereafter, Landlord shall have the option, by giving written notice to Tenant within fifteen (15) days after receipt of any Intention to Transfer Notice, to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space. Such recapture shall cancel and terminate this Lease with respect to such Contemplated Transfer Space as of the Contemplated Effective Date until the last day of the term of the contemplated transfer is set forth in the Intention to Transfer Notice. In the event of a recapture by Landlord, this Lease shall be cancelled with respect to less than the entire Premises, the Rent reserved herein shall be prorated on the basis of the number of rentable square feet retained by Tenant in proportion to the number of rentable square feet contained in the Premises, and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect, and upon request of either party, the parties shall execute written confirmation of the same. If Landlord declines, or fails to elect in a timely manner, to recapture such Contemplated Transfer Space under this Section 14.4, then, subject to the other terms of this Article 14, for a period of nine (9) months (the “Nine Month Period”) commencing on the last day of such fifteen (15) day period, Landlord shall not have any right to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space with respect to any transfer made during the Nine Month Period, provided that any such transfer is substantially on the terms set forth in the Intention to Transfer Notice and, provided further, that any such transfer shall be subject to the remaining terms of this Article 14. If such a transfer is not so consummated within the Nine Month Period (or if the transfer is so consummated, then upon the expiration of the term of any transfer of such Contemplated Transfer Space consummated within such Nine Month Period), Tenant shall again be required to submit a new Intention to Transfer Notice to Landlord with respect to any contemplated transfer, as provided above in this Section 14.4.
14.5 Effect of Transfer. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, (i) the terms and conditions of this Lease shall in no way be deemed to have been waived or modified, (ii) such consent shall not be deemed consent to any further Transfer by either Tenant or a Transferee, (iii) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, promptly after execution, an original executed copy of all documentation pertaining to the Transfer in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (iv) Tenant shall furnish upon Landlord’s request a complete statement, certified by an independent certified public accountant, or Tenant’s chief financial officer, setting forth in detail the computation of any Transfer Premium Tenant has derived and shall derive from such Transfer, and (v) no Transfer relating to this Lease or agreement entered into with respect thereto, whether with or without Landlord’s consent, shall relieve Tenant or any guarantor of the Lease from any liability under this Lease, including, without limitation, in connection with the Subject Space. Landlord or its authorized representatives shall have the right at all reasonable times to audit the books, records and papers of Tenant relating to any Transfer, and shall have the right to make copies thereof. If the Transfer Premium respecting any Transfer shall be found understated, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after demand, pay the deficiency, and if understated by more than five percent (5%), Tenant shall pay Landlord’s costs of such audit.
29
LAKESHORE TOWERS BUILDING II [United PanAm Financial Corp.] |
14.6 Occurrence of Default. Any Transfer hereunder shall be subordinate and subject to the provisions of this Lease, and if this Lease shall be terminated during the term of any Transfer, Landlord shall have the right to: (i) treat such Transfer as canceled and repossess the Subject Space by any lawful means, or (ii) require that such Transferee attorn to and recognize Landlord as its landlord under any such Transfer. If Tenant shall be in default under this Lease, Landlord is hereby irrevocably authorized, as Tenant’s agent and attorney-in-fact, to direct any Transferee to make all payments under or in connection with the Transfer directly to Landlord (which Landlord shall apply towards Tenant’s obligations under this Lease) until such default is cured. Such Transferee shall rely on any representation by Landlord that Tenant is in default hereunder, without any need for confirmation thereof by Tenant. Upon any assignment, the assignee shall assume in writing all obligations and covenants of Tenant thereafter to be performed or observed under this Lease. No collection or acceptance of rent by Landlord from any Transferee shall be deemed a waiver of any provision of this Article 14 or the approval of any Transferee or a release of Tenant from any obligation under this Lease, whether theretofore or thereafter accruing. In no event shall Landlord’s enforcement of any provision of this Lease against any Transferee be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to enforce any term of this Lease against Tenant or any other person. If Tenant’s obligations hereunder have been guaranteed, Landlord’s consent to any Transfer shall not be effective unless the guarantor also consents to such Transfer.
14.7 Non-Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14, an assignment or subletting of all or a portion of the Premises to an entity which is controlled by, controls, or is under common control with, Tenant (an “Affiliate”), shall not be deemed a Transfer under this Article 14, provided that Tenant notifies Landlord of any such assignment or sublease and promptly supplies Landlord with any documents or information requested by Landlord regarding such assignment or sublease or such Affiliate, and further provided that such assignment or sublease is not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Lease. “Control”, as used in this Section 14.7, shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person or entity, whether by the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.
ARTICLE 15
SURRENDER OF PREMISES; OWNERSHIP AND
REMOVAL OF TRADE FIXTURES
15.1 Surrender of Premises. No act or thing done by Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord during the Lease Term shall be deemed to constitute an acceptance by Landlord of a surrender of the Premises unless such intent is specifically acknowledged in writing by Landlord. The delivery of keys to the Premises to Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord shall not constitute a surrender of the Premises or effect a termination of this Lease, whether or not the keys are thereafter retained by Landlord, and notwithstanding such delivery Tenant shall be entitled to the return of such keys at any reasonable time upon request until this Lease shall have been properly terminated. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, whether accepted by Landlord or not, or a mutual termination hereof, shall not work a merger, and at the option of Landlord shall operate as an assignment to Landlord of all subleases or subtenancies affecting the Premises or terminate any or all such sublessees or subtenancies.
15.2 Removal of Tenant Property by Tenant. Upon the expiration of the Lease Term, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, subject to the provisions of this Article 15, quit and surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in as good order and condition as when Tenant took possession and as thereafter improved by Landlord and/or Tenant, reasonable wear and tear and repairs which are specifically made the responsibility of Landlord hereunder excepted. Upon such expiration or termination, Tenant shall, without expense to Landlord, remove or cause to be removed from the Premises all debris and rubbish, and such items of furniture, equipment, business and trade fixtures, free-standing cabinet work, movable partitions and other articles of personal property owned by Tenant or installed or placed by Tenant at its expense in the Premises, and such similar articles of any other persons claiming under Tenant, as Landlord may, in its sole discretion, require to be removed, and Tenant shall repair at its own expense all damage to the Premises and Building resulting from such removal.
30
LAKESHORE TOWERS BUILDING II [United PanAm Financial Corp.] |
ARTICLE 16
HOLDING OVER
If Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Lease Term or earlier termination thereof, with or without the express or implied consent of Landlord, such tenancy shall be from month-to-month only, and shall not constitute a renewal hereof or an extension for any further term, and in such case Rent shall be payable at a monthly rate equal to the product of (i) the Rent applicable during the last rental period of the Lease Term under this Lease, and (ii) a percentage equal to 125% during the first ninety (90) days of such holdover period and thereafter 150%. Such month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other applicable term, covenant and agreement contained herein. Nothing contained in this Article 16 shall be construed as consent by Landlord to any holding over by Tenant, and Landlord expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord as provided in this Lease upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease. The provisions of this Article 16 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein or at law. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and liability resulting from such failure, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to surrender and any lost profits to Landlord resulting therefrom.
ARTICLE 17
ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES/FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
17.1 Estoppel Certificates. Within ten (10) business days following a request in writing by Landlord, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate, which, as submitted by Landlord, shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit G, attached hereto (or such other form as may be required by any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of the Project, or any portion thereof), indicating therein any exceptions thereto that may exist at that time, and shall also contain any other information reasonably requested by Landlord or Landlord’s mortgagee or prospective mortgagee. Any such certificate may be relied upon by any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of all or any portion of the Project.

LAKESHORE TOWERS BUILDING II [United PanAm Financial Corp.] |
(ii) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus
(iii) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Lease Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

19.4 Efforts to Relet. No re-entry or repossession, repairs, maintenance, changes, alterations and additions, reletting, appointment of a receiver to protect Landlord’s interests hereunder, or any other action or omission by Landlord shall be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, or to accept a surrender of the Premises, nor shall same operate to release Tenant in whole or in part from any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, unless express written notice of such intention is sent by Landlord to Tenant.

If Landlord undertakes any cleanup, detoxification, or similar action, whether or not required by any government or quasi-government agency, as a result of the presence, release, or disposal in or about the Building or Project of any Hazardous Material, and that action requires that Tenant be denied access to the Premises or Tenant is otherwise unable to conduct its business on the Premises for a period of greater than twenty-four (24) hours, Base Rent shall be abated for the period that Tenant is unable to conduct its business at the Premises.
