square feet of the expansion space that Lessee elects to lease and the effective date of the lease
of the expansion space. The expansion space shall be leased by Lessor to Lessee “as is” in its
existing configuration and in good operating condition and repair. The expansion space shall be
subject to the same warranties of condition as the original Premises, as set forth in Paragraph
2(c) below.
(3) Lessor and Lessee shall execute and deliver an amendment to this Lease to include the

option extension period, if the option to extend set forth in Paragraph 3 is exercised, and subject
to all of the other terms and provisions of this Lease, excluding Paragraphs 13(a) through 13(d)
hereof.
2. Initial Term.
(a) The initial term of this Lease (the “initial term”) shall commence upon the execution and
delivery of this Lease by the parties (the “Commencement Date”), subject to the satisfaction
thereafter of the other conditions set forth in Paragraph 2(e). The Commencement Date shall be
confirmed in writing by Lessor and Lessee by the execution and delivery of the Commencement
Memorandum in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “C.”
(b) The initial term of this Lease shall expire on December 31, 2012 (the “Expiration Date”),
unless sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions hereof.
(c) Notwithstanding the commencement of this Lease on the Commencement Date pursuant to
Paragraph 2(a), Lessor shall not deliver possession of the Premises to Lessee until the date which
is the earlier of (1) the date of substantial completion of the Tenant Improvement Work referred to
in Paragraph 13(a), or (2) October 1, 2006 (the “Warranty Date”). Lessor warrants that on the
Warranty Date the Premises and the Building will be in compliance with the Americans With
Disabilities Act (ADA), applicable building codes, and all other applicable orders, regulations,
rules, laws, statutes, ordinances and requirements of all governmental agencies or authorities
(collectively, “Laws”), and with the roof membrane and roof structure and all of the systems of the
Building in good operating condition and repair, including, but not limited to, the HVAC,
mechanical, lighting, electrical, life safety, and plumbing systems, with the ceiling tiles in good
condition, and with the roof in water tight condition.
(d) If for any reason the Premises and the Building are not in the condition referred to in
Paragraph 2(c) on the Warranty Date, Lessor shall not be subject to any liability therefore, nor
shall such failure affect the validity of this Lease, or the obligations of Lessee hereunder, but
in such case, Lessee shall not, except as otherwise provided herein, be obligated to pay Operating
Expenses, Taxes, or Monthly Base Rent until the Premises are delivered to Lessee in the condition
referred to in Paragraph 2(c) above. Lessor shall use its good faith diligent efforts to see to
it that the Premises and the Building are in the condition referred to in Paragraph 2(c) by the
Warranty Date. If the Premises are not delivered to Lessee in the condition referred to in
Paragraph 2(c) by January 31, 2007, Lessee may, at its option, by notice
2
in writing received by Lessor after January 31, 2007 and before the date possession is so
delivered, cancel this Lease, in which event Lessor shall promptly refund the first month’s
Monthly Base Rent and the cash Security Deposit to Lessee and return the Letter of Credit to
Lessee, and the parties shall be discharged from all further obligations hereunder. If such
written notice is not received by Lessor on or before the date possession is so delivered by
Lessor to Lessee, Lessee’s right to cancel this Lease pursuant to this Paragraph 2(d) shall
terminate and be of no further force or effect.
(e) Subject to (1) the prior execution and delivery of this Lease by the parties, (2) the
payment by Lessee to Lessor upon the execution and delivery of this Lease by the parties, of the
sum of Fifty-eight Thousand One Hundred Dollars ($58,100) representing the Monthly Base Rent for
the month of January 2007, (3) the payment by Lessee to Lessor concurrently with the execution and
delivery of this Lease of the sum of One Hundred Forty-eight Thousand Four Hundred Dollars
($148,400) representing the Security Deposit referred to in Paragraph 7(a), and (4) the delivery by
Lessee to Lessor of written evidence that Lessee’s commercial general liability insurance coverage
required by Paragraph 11 (a) is in effect, Lessee and Lessee’s vendors and contractors shall have
access to the Premises, after the satisfaction of all of said conditions and commencing upon the
Warranty Date for the installation by Lessee at Lessee’s expense of Lessee’s interior improvements
and trade fixtures, and for Lessee’s daily operations, and continuing through December 31, 2006.
Monthly Base Rent shall be abated until January 1, 2007, but Lessee shall pay to Lessor the
Operating Expenses and Taxes of the Property pursuant to Paragraph 5 hereof commencing on the
Warranty Date, provided that the Premises and the Building are then in the condition referred to in
Paragraph 2(c) hereof.
(f) As used in this Lease, “term” or “term of this Lease” shall include the initial term and
the option extension period, if exercised.
3. Option to Extend.
(a) Lessor hereby grants to Lessee an option to extend the term of this Lease for one (1)
period of sixty (60) calendar months immediately following the expiration of the initial term (the
“option extension period”). Lessee may exercise the foregoing option to extend by giving written
notice of exercise to Lessor at least six (6) months, but not more than nine (9) months, prior to
the expiration of the initial term of this Lease (“the option exercise period”), time being of the
essence; provided that if an event of default by Lessee (as “Event of Default is defined in
Paragraph 22) under this Lease remains uncured after the expiration of notice and cure periods, if
applicable at the time of exercise of the option or on the commencement date of the option
extension period, such notice shall be void and of no force or effect. Such option extension
period, if exercised, shall be upon the same terms and conditions as the initial term of this
Lease, including the payment by Lessee of the Operating Expenses and Taxes pursuant to Paragraph 5,
except that (1) the Monthly Base Rent during the option extension period shall be determined as set
forth in Paragraph 3(c) hereof, (2) there shall be no additional option to extend, and (3) Lessee
shall accept the Premises in their then “as is” condition subject to Paragraphs 2(c) and 13(e)
which shall also apply to the option extension period. If Lessee does not exercise the option in a
timely manner, the option shall lapse, time being of the essence. Subject to the foregoing, neither
Lessor nor Lessee shall be required to perform any Tenant Improvement Work with respect to the
option extension period.
3
(b) The option to extend granted to Lessee by this Paragraph 3 is granted for the
personal benefit of Lumenis Inc. (“Lumenis”) only, and shall be exercisable only by Lumenis or by
an assignee or sublessee referred to in Paragraph 17(g) as a “Permitted Affiliate.” Said option may
not be assigned or transferred by Lumenis to, or exercised by, any assignee or sublessee, except as
provided in Paragraph 17(g).
(c) The initial Monthly Base Rent for the Premises during the option extension period shall
be determined pursuant to the provisions of this subparagraph (c) shall equal ninety-five percent
(95%) of the then current fair market monthly base rental value of the Premises on the commencement
date of the option extension period as determined by agreement between the Lessor and Lessee
reached prior to the expiration of the option exercise period, if possible, or by the process of
appraisal if the parties cannot reach agreement.
Upon the written request by Lessee to Lessor received by Lessor no earlier than sixty-one
(61) days and no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the option exercise period
(e.g., between May 1, 2012 and June 1, 2012, if the Commencement Date is January 1, 2007) and
prior to the exercise by Lessee of the option to extend, Lessor shall give Lessee written notice
of Lessor’s good faith opinion of the amount equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the fair market
monthly base rental value of the Premises as of the commencement of the option extension period.
Thereafter, upon the request of Lessee, Lessor and Lessee shall enter into good faith negotiations
for thirty (30) days in an effort to reach agreement on ninety-five percent (95%) of the fair
market monthly base rental for the Premises on the commencement date of the option extension
period.
If Lessor and Lessee are unable to agree upon the amount equal to ninety-five percent (95%)
of the initial fair market monthly base rent for the Premises, and thereafter, prior to the
expiration of the option exercise period, Lessee exercises the option to extend, said amount of
the initial monthly base rental shall be determined by appraisal. The appraisal shall be performed
by one appraiser if the parties are able to agree upon one appraiser. If the parties are unable to
agree upon one appraiser, each party shall appoint an appraiser and the two appraisers shall
select a third appraiser. Each appraiser selected shall be a member of the American Institute of
Real Estate Appraisers (AIREA) with at least five (5) years of full-time commercial real estate
appraisal experience in the Santa Clara, California office/R&D/manufacturing rental market.
If only one appraiser is selected, that appraiser shall notify the parties in simple letter
form of its determination of the amount equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the fair market
monthly base rental for the Premises on the commencement date of the option extension period
within fifteen (15) days following its selection. Said appraisal shall be binding on the parties
as the appraised current ninety-five percent (95%) of the “fair market monthly base rental” for
the Premises which shall be based upon what a willing new lessee would pay and a willing lessor
would accept at arm’s length for premises comparable to the Premises determined with reference to
comparable premises in the vicinity of the Premises of similar age, size, quality of construction
and specifications (excluding the value of any improvements to the Premises made at Lessee’s cost)
for a lease of similar duration to this Lease and taking into consideration that there will be no
free rent, improvement allowance, or other concessions. Premises which are “comparable to the
Premises” shall not mean premises which are subleased, subject to another tenant’s expansion
rights, or leased to a tenant under a renewal or extension right. If multiple
4
appraisers are selected, each appraiser shall within ten (10) days of being selected make
its determination of the amount equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the initial fair market
monthly base rental for the Premises in simple letter form. If two (2) or more of the appraisers
agree on said amount, such agreement shall be binding upon the parties. If multiple appraisers are
selected and two (2) appraisers are unable to agree on said amount, the amount equal to ninety-five
percent (95%) of the initial fair market monthly base rental for the Premises shall be determined
by taking the mean average of the appraisals; provided, that any high or low appraisal, differing
from the middle appraisal by more than ten percent (10%) of the middle appraisal, shall be
disregarded in calculating the average. Said initial monthly base rental shall be adjusted annually
on the anniversary of the commencement of the option extension period in the manner determined by
the appraiser or appraisers to be consistent with the then prevailing market practice for
comparable space in the Santa Clara, California office/R&D/manufacturing rental market.
If
only one appraiser is selected, then each party shall pay one-half of the fees and
expenses of that appraiser. If three appraisers are selected, each party shall bear the fees and
expenses of the appraiser it selects and one-half of the fees and expenses of the third appraiser.
(d) Thereafter, provided that Lessee has previously given timely notice to Lessor of the
exercise by Lessee of the option to extend the term, Lessor and Lessee shall execute an amendment
to this Lease stating that the initial monthly base rental for the Premises during the option
extension period, and any annual adjustments thereto, if applicable, shall be in the amounts as
determined by appraisal.
4. Monthly Base Rent.
(a) Subject to Paragraph 2(d), commencing on January 1, 2007 and continuing on the first day
of each calendar month thereafter during the initial term, Lessee shall pay to Lessor in monthly
installments in advance Monthly Base Rent, in lawful money of the United States, as follows:

(b) Upon the execution and delivery of this Lease by Lessor and Lessee, Lessee shall pay to
Lessor the sum of Fifty-eight Thousand One Hundred Dollars ($58,100), representing the Monthly
Base Rent for the month of January 2007. Monthly Base Rent for a partial calendar month at the
commencement or expiration of the term shall be prorated on the basis of the actual number of days
in such calendar month.

have the effect of reducing Operating Expenses, or for any items or capital expenditures required
because of Lessee’s specific use of the Premises; provided, however, that with respect to capital
improvements made to save Operating Expenses the amortization thereof shall not be at a rate
greater than the actual savings in Operating Expenses; and provided further, that except for
capital improvements required because of Lessee’s specific use of the Premises, if Lessor
voluntarily makes capital improvements or capital expenditures to the Property or is required to
make such capital improvements or capital expenditures, Lessor shall amortize the cost of said
improvements and expenditures (including insurance deductible amounts if the improvements damaged
are repaired or reconstructed) over the useful life of said improvements (together with interest on
the unamortized balance at the rate equal to the effective rate of interest actually charged to
Lessor for its borrowings for capital expenditures, but in no event in excess of ten percent (10%)

Operating Expenses shall also include any other expenses or charges, whether or not described

(18) costs for sculpture, paintings, or other objects of art (and insurance
thereon or extraordinary security in connection therewith);
(19) wages, salaries, or other compensation paid to any executive
employees above the grade of building manager;
(20) attorneys’ fees, costs, disbursements, and other expenses incurred
in connection with negotiations or disputes with tenants other than Lessee, or in connection
with leasing, renovating or improving space for tenants or other occupants or in connection with
the financing or refinancing of the Building or the Land or otherwise in connection with Lessor’s
business, except that there shall not be excluded from Operating Expenses attorneys’ fees and
costs paid by Lessor to Lessor’s property tax counsel employed to contest any property tax
assessment levied against the Property or to secure a reduction of the property taxes assessed
against the Property, provided that Lessee shall receive credit against future Taxes for any
refund received; and
(21) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any other expense
that under generally accepted accounting principles and practices consistently applied would
not be considered a normal maintenance or operating expense.
Lessor shall at all times use its best efforts to operate the Property in an economically
reasonable manner at costs not disproportionately higher than those experienced by other
comparable premises in the market area in which the Property is located.
(e) The first monthly installment of Operating Expenses and Taxes shall be
payable on or before the Warranty Date; thereafter Operating Expenses and Taxes shall be paid
in monthly installments, concurrently with Monthly Base Rent, based upon Lessor’s good faith
annual estimate of Operating Expenses and Taxes. Lessee’s initial payment is based upon
Lessor’s estimate of Operating Expenses and Taxes for the year in question, and the monthly
payments thereof (and future payments) are subject to increase or decrease as determined by
Lessor to reflect an accurate estimate of actual Operating Expenses and Taxes. Within ninety
(90) days after the end of each calendar year, Lessor shall deliver to Lessee a statement of
actual Operating Expenses and Taxes for such calendar year. Within thirty (30) days after its receipt
of such statement, Lessee shall pay Lessor the amount of any deficiency, or Lessor shall credit
Lessee (or, if such adjustment is at the end of the Term, pay Lessee) the amount of any
excess, in Lessee’s payment of its of Operating Expenses and Taxes over actual Operating Expenses and
Taxes for such calendar year.
(f) Lessee or its accountants shall have the right to inspect and audit Lessor’s
books and records with respect to this Lease once each calendar year to verify actual
Operating Expenses and/or Taxes. Lessor’s books and records shall be kept in accord with generally
9
accepted accounting principles. Lessee shall promptly deliver to Lessor a copy of such
audit, without expense to Lessor. If Lessee’s audit of the Operating Expenses or Taxes for any year
reveals an overcharge, the amount of the overcharge shall be credited against Operating Expenses
and/or Taxes next due hereunder or paid directly to Lessee, if this Lease shall have terminated. If
Lessee’s audit of the Operating Expenses or Taxes for any year reveals an undercharge, Lessee shall
promptly reimburse Lessor an amount equal to such undercharge. If Lessee’s audit of the Operating
Expenses and/or Taxes for any year reveals a net overcharge of more than five percent (5%), Lessor
promptly shall reimburse Lessee for the cost of the audit; otherwise, Lessee shall bear the cost of
Lessee’s audit.
(g) Notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Lease, within thirty (30) days
after receipt by Lessee of an invoice from Lessor for any Operating Expenses or Taxes payable by
Lessee for the calendar year in which this Lease expires or terminates, Lessee shall pay to Lessor
any such amount due as shown on such invoice. Lessee’s obligations under this subparagraph (g)
shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.
6. Payment of Rent.

deduction or offset and without prior demand or notice, unless otherwise specified herein.

calendar month during the term of this Lease (except that the Monthly Base Rent for the month of
January 2007 shall be paid by Lessee upon the execution and delivery of this Lease by Lessor and

(b) If any installment of Monthly Base Rent, Additional Rent or any other
sum due from Lessee is not received by Lessor within five (5) days after the same is due,
Lessee shall pay to Lessor an additional sum equal to five percent (5%) of the amount overdue as a
late charge. The parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of
the
costs that Lessor will incur by reason of the late payment by Lessee. Acceptance of any late
charge shall not constitute a waiver of Lessee’s default with respect to the overdue amount.
Any
amount not paid within ten (10) days after Lessee’s receipt of written notice that such amount
is
due shall bear interest from the date due until paid at the lesser rate of (1) the prime rate
of
interest as published in the “Wall Street Journal,” plus two percent (2%) or (2) the maximum
rate
allowed by law (the “Interest Rate”) in addition to the late payment charge.

States of America at the address of Lessor set forth in Paragraph 24, “Notices,” without
deduction or offset and without prior demand or notice, unless otherwise specified herein.

7. Security Deposit.
(a) Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Lease by Lessor and Lessee, Lessee
shall deposit with Lessor the sum of One Hundred Forty-eight Thousand Four Hundred Dollars
($148,400) (the “Security Deposit”), as security for Lessee’s faithful performance of Lessee’s
obligations under this Lease. If Lessee fails to pay Monthly Base Rent,
10
Additional Rent, or any other sum due hereunder within applicable notice and cure periods
referred to in Paragraph 22, or any other Event of Default by Lessee occurs (as defined in
Paragraph 22, including applicable notice and cure periods referred to therein), Lessor may use,
apply or retain all or any portion of the Security Deposit for the payment of any amount due Lessor
or to reimburse or compensate Lessor for any liability, cost, expense, loss or damage (including
attorneys’ fees) which Lessor may suffer or incur by reason thereof. If Lessor uses or applies all
or any portion of the Security Deposit, Lessee shall within ten (10) days after written request
therefor deposit an amount with Lessor sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the original
amount required by this Lease. Lessor shall not be required to keep all or any part of the Security
Deposit separate from its general accounts. Lessor agrees that the Security Deposit shall be
reduced to Seventy-four Thousand Two Hundred Dollars ($74,200) on the first day of the calendar
month after Lessee has delivered written evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lessor that Lessee had
positive net income for its previous fiscal year.
(b) In the event that Lessor has funded more than Two Hundred Ten Thousand Dollars ($210,000)
($3.00 psf) of Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance, within ten (10) business days after the
last installment of Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance has been funded, Lessee shall deliver
to Lessor an unconditional, irrevocable standby letter of credit (“Letter of Credit”) in an amount
(“Original LC Amount”) equal to the amount of the Secured Tenant Improvement Allowance. The
parties agree that the Secured Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be equal to the excess amount
(if any) paid by Lessor for the construction of the Tenant Improvement Work over and above the sum
of (i) the Tenant Improvement Allowance of Eight Hundred Forty Thousand Dollars ($840,000) ($12.00
psf), plus (ii) Two Hundred Ten Thousand Dollars ($210,000) ($3.00 psf). The Letter of Credit
shall be issued by a bank reasonably acceptable to Lessor, in favor of Lessor as beneficiary, with
Letter of Credit draw language consistent with this Paragraph 7(b). Lessee shall renew the Letter
of Credit annually or cause the issuing bank to issue a new Letter of Credit to Lessor in the
amount of the remaining balance at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the existing
Letter of Credit. Failure by Lessee to cause the issuing bank to renew the Letter of Credit, or to
issue a new Letter of Credit in the amount of the remaining balance, that is delivered to Lessor
at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the existing Letter of Credit shall be a
default by Lessee which shall give Lessor the right to draw on the existing Letter of Credit.
If Lessee fails to pay to Lessor any monthly amount necessary to amortize the Additional
Tenant Improvement Allowance pursuant to Paragraph 13(b), within five (5) days after said amount
is due Lessor may, upon prior written notice to Lessee, draw upon the Letter of Credit for the
payment to Lessor of the amount then past due, plus any additional amount to compensate Lessor for
any liability, cost, expense, loss or damage (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) which Lessor
may suffer or incur by reason of Lessee’s non-payment,
The Letter of Credit shall be (i) “callable” at sight upon delivery to the issuer of a draw
request, (ii) subject to the terms of this paragraph, maintained in effect, whether through
renewal or extension, for the entire period from the date of execution of this Lease and
continuing until the date (the “LC Expiration Date”) that is ten (10) days after the expiration of
the initial term, (iii) subject to the International Standby Practices 1998, International Chamber
of Commerce Publication No. 590, (iv) fully assignable by
Lessor, and (v) permit partial draws. In
addition to the foregoing, the form and terms of the Letter of Credit shall be acceptable to
Lessor, in Lessor’s reasonable discretion, and shall provide, among other things, in effect that:
11
(A) Lessor, or its then managing member (or its property manager if authorized by Lessor), shall
have the right to draw down an amount up to the face amount of the Letter of Credit upon the
presentation to the Bank of Lessor’s (or Lessor’s then managing agent’s) written statements that
(1) such amount is due to Lessor under the terms and conditions of Paragraph 7(b) of this Lease, or
(2) Lessee has filed a voluntary petition under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, it being understood
that if Lessor or its managing member is a limited liability company, corporation, partnership or
other entity, then such statement shall be signed by a managing member (if a limited liability
company), an officer (if a corporation), a general partner (if a partnership), or any authorized
party (if another entity); (B) the Letter of Credit will be honored by the issuing bank without
inquiry as to the accuracy thereof and regardless of whether the Lessee disputes the content of
such statement; and (C) provided that no default by Lessee under this Paragraph 7(b) of this Lease
remains uncured, the amount of the Letter of Credit shall decline as of the last day of each
calendar month in accordance with the schedule attached hereto as Exhibit “D” and incorporated
herein by reference. If a default by Lessee under this Paragraph 7(b) of this Lease remains uncured
as of the end of any calendar month, the amount of the Letter of Credit shall not decline, but
shall remain unchanged.
(c) Within thirty (30) days after the expiration or earlier termination of the term hereof
and after Lessee has vacated the Premises Lessor shall return to Lessee (or at Lessor’s option, to
the last assignee, if any, of Lessee’s interest herein), that portion of the Security Deposit
referred to in Paragraph 7(a) not used or applied by Lessor. Unless otherwise expressly agreed in
writing by Lessor, no part of the Security Deposit shall be considered to be held in trust, to
bear interest or other increment for its use, or to be prepayment for any moneys to be paid by
Lessee under this Lease. Provided that no Event of Default (as defined in Paragraph 22) remains
uncured following the expiration of all applicable notice and cure periods, Lessor shall return to
Lessee on the LC expiration Date the Letter of Credit referred to in Paragraph 7(b).
8. Use. Lessee shall have the right to use the Premises for research and
development, general offices, administration, sales, storage, shipping and
receiving,
manufacturing and warehousing, and for such other uses permitted by applicable zoning
ordinances and any covenants, conditions, and restrictions affecting the Property, and for no
other use or purpose without Lessor’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
use of the Premises for the manufacture of integrated circuits is expressly prohibited. Any use of
the
Premises by any sublessee or assignee pursuant to Paragraph 17 shall comply with the
provisions
of this Paragraph 8.

Property, or dispose of any Hazardous Materials without Lessor’s prior written consent, except
(1) ordinary and customary office supplies and cleaning materials which are used in the normal
course of Lessee’s agreed use of the Premises, and (2) such other Hazardous Materials the
generation, possession, storage, use, transportation, or disposal of which in the quantities
used by
Lessee do not require a permit from any governmental authority. All such Hazardous Materials
(1) shall be used, stored, transported, and disposed of in strict compliance with
Environmental
Laws, and (2) shall be stored on the Premises only in limited quantity required for Lessee’s
business at the Premises. Except as otherwise specifically permitted by this Paragraph 9(c),
Lessee shall not use, store, transport, or dispose of any Hazardous Materials in or about the
Premises or the Property. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lessee shall, at
its
sole cost, comply with all Environmental Laws relating to its use of Hazardous Materials. If
Hazardous Materials are discovered at or about the Premises or the Property in violation of
Environmental Laws and such Hazardous Materials were used, stored, transported, or disposed
of by Lessee, then Lessee shall, at Lessee’s sole expense, promptly take all action necessary
to cause the Property to comply with all Environmental Laws with respect to such Hazardous
Materials. Upon Lessor’s request, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor (1) a copy of Lessee’s

even
though Lessee’s Hazardous Materials Management Plan and any such reports or plans filed with
the City show that Lessee is not currently using any reportable Hazardous Materials on the
Premises.
(d) If Lessee knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, that Hazardous
Materials have come to be located in, on, under or about the Premises, Lessee shall
immediately
give written notice of such fact to Lessor and provide Lessor with a copy of any report,
notice,
claim or other documentation which Lessee has in its possession concerning the presence of
such
Hazardous Materials.
(e) Lessee shall indemnify, defend with counsel reasonably acceptable to
Lessor, and hold Lessor harmless from any and all claims, damages, fines, judgments, penalties,
costs, liabilities or losses (including, without limitation, any and all sums paid
for settlement of
13
claims, attorneys’ fees, consultant and expert fees) (“Claims”) arising during or after the
term (as such may be extended) from the use, storage, transportation, release, disposal, discharge,
or emission of Hazardous Materials at or about the Premises or the Property by Lessee, or Lessee’s
employees, agents, contractors, invitees, or sublessees (collectively, “Lessee Parties”), in
violation of Environmental Laws or the terms of this Lease. Without limitation of the foregoing,
this indemnification shall include any and all costs incurred due to any investigation of the site
or any cleanup, removal or restoration mandated by a federal, state or local agency or political
subdivision and any repairs to the Property required in connection therewith. The foregoing
indemnity shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
(f) Prior to the expiration of the term and the surrender of possession of the Premises by
Lessee to Lessor, in the event that Lessee or any sublessee during the term of this Lease has used
Hazardous Materials on the Premises for which a permit is required, Lessee shall obtain at
Lessee’s expense an environmental closure report certified by the appropriate department of the
City of Santa Xxxxx (“Certified Closure Report”) and a copy of such Certified Closure Report shall
be delivered to Lessor if such report is required by the City of Santa Xxxxx or applicable law.
Such closure shall include the removal and remediation at Lessee’s expense of any Hazardous
Materials in, on, under, or about the Premises released or discharged by Lessee, its Permitted
Affiliates, sublessees, assignees, employees, agents, contractors, or invitees (i) referred to in
the environmental closure report prepared by the City of Santa Xxxxx, or (ii) as may be required
by the City as a condition to the issuance by the City of a Certified Closure Report that does not
recommend or require further clean up or other similar action.
(g) To the current actual knowledge of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Manager of Lessor, and Xxxxx Xxxxxx,
Facilities Manager of Lessor, except as disclosed to Lessee in writing by Lessor or as contained
in any environmental site assessment report delivered by Lessor to Lessee prior to the execution
of this Lease, (1) no Hazardous Materials are present on the Property or the soil, surface water
or groundwater thereof, (2) no underground storage tanks are present on the Property, and (3) no
action, proceeding or claim is pending or threatened regarding the Property concerning any
Hazardous Materials or pursuant to any environmental law. Lessor shall be responsible (at no cost
to Lessee), and Lessor shall indemnify, defend with counsel reasonably acceptable to Lessee, and
hold Lessee harmless from all Claims arising from or incurred as a result of Hazardous Materials
being present on the Property at any time due to acts or omissions of Lessor or its employees,
agents, contractors, tenants, invitees, or other third parties (excluding Lessee and any Lessee
Parties). Lessee shall not be responsible under this Lease, and Lessor hereby releases Lessee from
liability for any Hazardous Materials present on the Premises that were not released by Lessee or
its employees, agents, contractors, invitees, or sublessees.
(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Lessee shall have the right to perform a
phase I environmental site assessment of the Property and any phase II environmental
investigations of the Property that Lessee feels are reasonably necessary, provided that Lessee
shall promptly deliver copies thereof to Lessor upon receipt thereof.
(i) The provisions of this Paragraph 9 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of
the term of this Lease.
10. Taxes on Lessee’s Property. Lessee shall pay before delinquency any and all
taxes, assessments, license fees, and public charges levied, assessed, or imposed and which
14
become payable during the initial term and any extension thereof upon Lessee’s equipment,
fixtures, furniture, and personal property installed or located in the Premises.
11. Insurance.
(a) Lessee shall, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, provide and keep in force commencing with
the commencement date of Lessee’s early access to the Premises and continuing during the Lease
term, a commercial general liability insurance policy with a recognized casualty insurance company
qualified to do business in California, insuring against any and all liability occasioned by any
occurrence in, on, about, or related to the Property, or arising out of the condition, use,
occupancy, alteration or maintenance of the Property, having a combined single limit for both
bodily injury and property damage in an amount not less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) per
occurrence. Lessee’s liability insurance policy shall contain cross liability endorsements, shall
contain contractual liability coverage and shall include Lessor and Lessor’s property manager as
additional insureds. All such insurance carried by Lessee shall be in a form reasonably
satisfactory to Lessor and its mortgage lender and shall be carried with companies that have a
general policyholder’s rating of not less than “A” and a financial rating of not less than Class
“X” in the most current edition of Best’s Insurance Reports; shall provide that such policies shall
not be subject to reduction or cancellation except after at least thirty (30) days’ prior written
notice to Lessor; and shall be primary and not contributory. Prior to the early occupancy of the
Premises by Lessee, and upon renewal of such policies not less than thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration of the term of such coverage, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor certificates of insurance
confirming such coverage, together with evidence of the payment of the premium therefor. If Lessee
fails to procure and maintain the insurance required hereunder within five (5) days after receipt
by Lessee of written notice from Lessor, Lessor may, but shall not be required to, order such
insurance at Lessee’s expense and Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for all costs incurred by Lessor
with respect thereto. Lessee’s reimbursement to Lessor for such amounts shall be deemed Additional
Rent, and shall include all sums disbursed, incurred or deposited by Lessor, including Lessor’s
costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees with interest thereon at the Interest Rate.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 5(a), 5(b), and 5(d), Lessor shall obtain and
carry in Lessor’s name, as insured, during the term of this Lease, “all risk” property insurance
coverage in an amount equal to the full replacement cost of the Building (with rental loss
insurance coverage for a period of one year) (“Lessor’s property insurance”), flood insurance (but
only if required by Lessor’s lender), commercial general liability insurance, and insurance
against such other risks or casualties as Lessor shall reasonably determine, including, but not
limited to, insurance coverages required of Lessor by the beneficiary of any deed of trust which
encumbers the Property (including earthquake and terrorism insurance coverage, but only if
required by Lessor’s lender), insuring Lessor’s interest in the Property, any other improvements
to the Property constructed by Lessor, or by Lessee with Lessor’s prior written approval, in an
amount not less than the full replacement cost of the Building and all other Improvements from
time to time. The proceeds of any such insurance shall be payable solely to Lessor and Lessee
shall have no right or interest therein. Lessor shall have no obligation to insure against loss by
Lessee to Lessee’s equipment, furniture, fixtures, inventory, or other personal property of Lessee
in, on, or about the Premises occurring from any cause whatsoever. Lessor’s commercial general
liability insurance shall provide for contractual liability coverage of Lessor’s indemnity
referred to in Paragraph 12(b).
15
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, the parties release each
other, and their respective authorized representatives, employees, officers, directors,
shareholders, managers, members, assignees, subtenants, and property managers, from any Claims for
damage to the Property and to the fixtures, personal property, leasehold improvements and
alterations of either Lessor or Lessee in or on the Property that are caused by or result from
risks required by this Lease to be insured against or actually insured against under any property
insurance policies carried by the parties and in force at the time of any such damage, whichever is
greater. This waiver applies whether or not the loss is due to the negligent acts or omissions of
Lessor or Lessee or their respective authorized representatives, shareholders, managers, members,
assignees, subtenants, successors, officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, or
invitees. All of Lessor’s and Lessee’s repair and indemnity obligations under this Lease shall be
subject to the waiver contained in this Paragraph 11 (c).
(d) Each party shall cause each property insurance policy obtained by it to provide that the
insurance company waives all right of recovery by way of subrogation against either party in
connection with the above waiver and any damage covered by any policy; provided, however, that
such provision or endorsement shall not be required if the applicable policy of insurance permits
the named insured to waive rights of subrogation on a blanket basis, in which case the blanket
waiver shall be acceptable. Neither party shall be liable to the other for any property loss or
damage caused by fire or any of the risks insured against (or required to be insured against)
under any insurance policy carried pursuant to this Lease.
12. Indemnification.
(a) Subject to Paragraphs 12(c) and 12(d), Lessee shall indemnify, defend, and hold Lessor
harmless from all Claims, suits, actions, or liabilities for personal injury, death or for loss or
damage to property (1) that arise from any activity, work, or thing done or permitted by Lessee in
or about the Property, (2) for bodily injury or damage to property which arises in or about the
Property to the extent the injury or damage to property results from the negligent acts or
omissions of Lessee, its employees, agents, or contractors, or (3) that are based on any Event of
Default by Lessee in the performance of any obligation on Lessee’s part to be performed under this
Lease, except to the extent caused by the negligent or willful misconduct of Lessor or its
employees, agents, or contractors or a breach by Lessor of its obligations under this Lease. Lessee
also waives all claims against Lessor for damages to property, or to goods, wares, and merchandise
stored in, upon, or about the Premises or the Property, and for injuries to persons in, upon, or
about the Premises or the Property from any cause arising at any time, except as may be caused by
the negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor or its employees, agents or contractors or the
breach by Lessor of its obligations under this Lease.
(b) Subject to Paragraphs 11(c) and 11(d), Lessor shall indemnify, defend, and hold Lessee
harmless from Claims for personal injury, death or for loss or damage to property (1) that arise
from bodily injury or damage to property in or about the Property to the extent the injury or
damage to property results from the negligent acts or omissions of Lessor, its employees, agents
or contractors, or (2) that are based on any breach or default by Lessor in the performance of any
obligation on Lessor’s part to be performed under this Lease, except to the extent caused by the
negligent or willful misconduct of Lessee or its employees, agents or contractors or a breach by
Lessee of its obligations under this Lease.
16
(c) The foregoing indemnities by Lessee and Lessor shall also include
reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with any indemnified
claim or incurred by the indemnitee in successfully establishing the right to indemnity. The
indemnitor shall have the right to assume the defense of any claim subject to the foregoing indemnities
with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnitee. The indemnitee agrees to cooperate fully
with the indemnitor and its counsel in any matter where the indemnitor elects to defend, provided
the indemnitor shall promptly reimburse the indemnitee for reasonable costs and expenses incurred
in connection with its duty to cooperate.
The foregoing indemnities are conditioned upon the indemnitee providing reasonably prompt
notice to the indemnitor of any claim or occurrence that is likely to give rise to a claim, suit,
action or liability that will fall within the scope of the foregoing indemnities, along with
sufficient details that will enable the indemnitor to make a reasonable investigation of the claim.
When the claim is caused by the joint negligence or willful misconduct of Lessee and Lessor
or by the indemnitor party and a third party unrelated to the indemnitor party (except
indemnitor’s agents, officers, employees or invitees), the indemnitor’s duty to indemnify and
defend shall be proportionate to the indemnitor’s allocable share of joint negligence or willful
misconduct.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither party
shall be liable to the other, or to any of the employees, agents, contractors, or invitees of
the other for any damage because of any act or negligence of any owner or occupant of adjoining
or contiguous property (other than that belonging to such party or its affiliates or
subsidiaries) or other third person, or for overflow, breakage, or leakage of water, steam, gas, or
electricity from pipes, wires, or otherwise in the Building.
13. Tenant Improvement Work: Condition of the Building.
(a) Lessee shall cause to be performed all hard and soft cost work associated
with improvement of the Premises and the Building for Lessee’s use (“Tenant Improvement
Work”) pursuant to a space plan of the Building (the “Space Plan”) mutually approved by the
parties. Any material changes to the approved Space Plan shall also require the prior written
approval of both Lessor and Lessee. Each party agrees that it will not unreasonably withhold,
condition or delay its approval of the Space Plan or any material changes thereto.
The Tenant Improvement Work shall be performed by a general contractor selected by Lessee
pursuant to a construction contract between Lessee and the contractor describing the Tenant
Improvement Work, the cost thereof, and the scheduled completion date. The contractor selected by
Lessee and the construction contract shall be subject to Lessor’s written approval, which shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(b) Lessor shall contribute the sum of Eight Hundred Forty Thousand Dollars
($840,000) ($12.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises) as a tenant improvement
allowance (“Tenant Improvement Allowance”) which shall be applied to the cost of the Tenant
Improvement Work. Lessor shall also contribute an additional sum of up to Five Hundred Sixty
Thousand Dollars ($560,000) ($8.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises) (the “Additional
Tenant Improvement Allowance”) toward the Tenant Improvement Work, subject to (1) the
17
written approval by Lessor and Lessee of the written scope of the additional Tenant Improvement
Work and the cost thereof (such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed), and (2) Lessee’s agreement to amortize the amount of the Additional Tenant Improvement
Allowance by making equal monthly payments, plus ten percent (10%) interest per year on the unpaid
balance thereof from time to time, to Lessor commencing on January 1, 2007 and continuing in equal
monthly installments during the initial term of this Lease. Lessee shall provide a Letter of Credit
to Lessor to secure the portion, if any, of the Tenant Improvement Allowance defined as the Secured
Tenant Improvement Allowance in accordance with Paragraph 7 above. Lessor shall make disbursements
of the Tenant Improvement Allowance and the Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance directly to
Lessee’s contractor promptly following the receipt by Lessor of copies of invoices submitted to
Lessee by Lessee’s contractor that have been approved for payment by Lessee. Lessee shall pay the
entire balance of the cost, if any, of the Tenant Improvement Work in excess of the Tenant
Improvement Allowance and the Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance promptly upon receipt by
Lessee of invoices for such costs.
(c) Lessee shall cause the Tenant Improvement Work to be constructed in accordance with all
applicable laws, in a good and workmanlike manner, free of defects and using new materials and
equipment of good quality. Lessee shall cause Lessee’s contractor to correct at the contractor’s
expense any defects in the Tenant Improvement Work noted by Lessee or by Lessor prior to the
expiration of the warranty period for the Tenant Improvement Work. Any needed repairs to the
Tenant Improvement Work thereafter shall be performed by Lessor and included in Operating Expenses
pursuant to Paragraph 5 if the nature of such repairs is that it falls under Lessor’s maintenance
and repair obligations, otherwise such repairs shall be made by Lessee at Lessee’s expense.
(d) Lessor warrants that the Building will be in the condition required by Paragraph 2(c),
including in compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) on the Warranty Date.
Lessee shall give written notice to Lessor of any defect in any of the foregoing elements of the
Building within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Warranty Date, and Lessor shall cause any
such defect specified by Lessee to be repaired, at Lessor’s expense, as soon as possible. Any
needed repairs to any of the foregoing elements of the Building of which Lessee gives Lessor
written notice after such period shall be performed by Lessor and included in Operating Expenses
pursuant to Paragraph 5.
(e) Subject to the payment by Lessor of the Tenant Improvement Allowance and the Additional
Tenant Improvement Allowance and the performance by Lessor of Lessor’s obligations under
Paragraphs 2(c) and 2(d), Lessee waives all right to make repairs at the expense of Lessor, or to
deduct the costs thereof from the rent, and Lessee waives all rights under Section 1941 and 1942
of the Civil Code of the State of California.
14. Maintenance and Repairs; Alterations: Surrender and Restoration.
(a) Lessor shall, at Lessor’s sole expense, keep in good order, condition, and repair and
replace when necessary, the structural elements of the roof (excluding the roof membrane), the
foundation and exterior walls (except the interior faces thereof) of the Building, excluding any
alterations, structural or otherwise, made by Lessee to the Building which are not approved in
writing by Lessor prior to the construction or installation thereof by Lessee. Subject
18
to the applicable conditions of Paragraphs 20 and 21 hereof, Lessor shall perform and construct,
and Lessee shall not be responsible for performing or constructing, any repairs, maintenance, or
improvements (1) required as a result of any casualty damage or as a result of any taking pursuant
to the exercise of the power of eminent domain, or (2) for which Lessor receives reimbursement from
third parties based on construction or other warranties, contractor guarantees, or insurance
claims. Lessor shall use its good faith diligent efforts to collect any such sums.
(b) In addition to the items referred to in Paragraph 5(b), Lessor shall, repair, maintain,
and replace as needed, as an Operating Expense pursuant to Paragraph 5 hereof, the roof membrane,
ceiling glass, exterior glass and glazing, the Building’s electrical, plumbing and life safety
systems, the exterior areas of the Property outside the Building and the parking facilities
serving the Building, including without limitation, the landscaping, tree trimming, resurfacing
and restriping of the parking lot and walkways, exterior building lighting, and parking lot
lighting, and, subject to Paragraphs 5(b) and (d), Lessor shall perform or cause to be performed,
any repair, maintenance, or improvements which are properly treated as capital improvements or
capital expenditures, and shall amortize the cost thereof over their useful life, together with
interest thereon (as provided in Paragraphs 5(b) and (d)), as an Operating Expense (to the extent
properly includable as an Operating Expense pursuant to Paragraphs 5(b) and (d)) in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. In the event Lessee provides Lessor with written
notice of the need for any repairs to the Property, Lessor shall commence any such repairs
promptly following receipt by Lessor of such notice and Lessor shall diligently prosecute such
repairs to completion.
(c) Subject to the foregoing, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Lessee shall at all
times keep the Premises and the interior common areas of the Building in good and safe order,
condition, and repair. Lessee shall contract for and pay directly for the janitorial service to
the Premises and the interior common areas of the Building. Lessee shall execute and maintain in
full force and effect at Lessee’s expense throughout the term a service contract with an
authorized air conditioning service company for periodic service, repairs, and replacement of
parts to service the portion of the HVAC system serving the Premises. Lessor shall have the right
to obtain on a semi-annual basis an inspection report of the HVAC system from an HVAC service firm
designated by Lessor for the purpose of monitoring the performance of the HVAC maintenance and
repair work performed by Lessee’s HVAC service firm. The cost of such inspection report shall be
an Operating Expense pursuant to Paragraph 5(b). Subject to the release of claims and waiver of
subrogation contained in Paragraphs 11(c) and 11(d), if Lessor is required to make any repairs by
reason of Lessee’s negligent acts or omission to act, Lessor may add the cost of such repairs to
the next installment of rent which shall thereafter become due, and Lessee shall promptly pay the
same upon receipt of an invoice therefor.
(d) Lessee may, from time to time, at its own cost and expense and without the consent of
Lessor make nonstructural alterations to the interior of the Premises, the cost of which in any
one instance is Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) or less, and the aggregate cost of all such
work during the term of this Lease does not exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000),
provided that Lessee first notifies Lessor in writing of any such nonstructural alterations.
Otherwise, Lessee shall not make any alterations, improvements, or additions to the Premises or to
any other part of the Building without delivering to Lessor a complete set of plans and
specifications for such work and obtaining Lessor’s prior written consent thereto, which
19
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If any nonstructural
alterations to the interior of the Premise exceed Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) in cost in
any one instance, or exceed the aggregate cost of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) during
the term of this Lease, Lessee shall employ, at Lessee’s expense, a qualified licensed general
contractor to perform such alterations pursuant to a construction contract entered into between
Lessee and such contractor. The contractor and the construction contract shall be subject to
Lessor’s written approval prior to commencement of construction, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Lessee shall deliver to Lessor at Lessee’s expense a
complete set of as built drawings of the Premises including such alterations upon the completion
thereof. Lessor may condition its consent to Lessee agreeing in writing to remove any such
alterations at the expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Lease and Lessee agreeing
to restore the Premises to its condition prior to such alterations at Lessee’s expense. Lessor
shall advise Lessee in writing at the time consent is granted whether Lessor reserves the right to
require Lessee to remove any alterations from the Premises prior to the expiration of this Lease.
All alterations, trade fixtures and personal property installed in the Premises solely at
Lessee’s expense shall during the term of this Lease remain the property of Lessee, and Lessee
shall be entitled to all depreciation, amortization and other tax benefits with respect thereto.
Lessee may remove any of Lessee’s personal property, furniture, or equipment not permanently
affixed to the Premises (“Lessee’s Personal Property”) at any time and from time to time, provided
that Lessee shall repair any damage to the Premises caused by such removal. Lessor shall have no
lien or other interest whatsoever in any item of Lessee’s Personal Property. Within ten (10) days
following Lessee’s request from time to time, Lessor shall execute documents in commercially
reasonable form to evidence Lessor’s waiver of any right, title, lien or interest in any of
Lessee’s Personal Property and giving any lenders holding a security interest or lien on such
property reasonable rights of access to the Premises to remove Lessee’s Personal Property, provided
that such lenders agree to repair all damage caused by such removal and any personal property owned
by Lessor remains free of liens. Upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease all
alterations, fixtures and improvements to the Premises, whether made by Lessor or installed by
Lessee at Lessee’s expense, shall be surrendered by Lessee with the Premises and shall become the
property of Lessor (except for those items Lessor required Lessee to remove pursuant to the
previous paragraph); provided, however that Lessee may remove any or all of Lessee’s Personal
Property prior to or promptly following the expiration of the term, but Lessee shall repair any
damage to the Premises caused by such removal.
(e) Lessee, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, shall during the term of this Lease promptly
and properly observe and comply with all existing and future Laws, and the Board of Fire
Underwriters. Any structural changes or repairs or other repairs or changes of any nature to the
Building which would be considered a capital expenditure under generally accepted accounting
principles, including changes or repairs required by the ADA, any state laws governing handicapped
access or architectural barriers, and all rules, regulations and guideline promulgated under such
laws after the Warranty Date, as amended from time to time, shall be made by Lessor unless such
structural repairs or changes are required by reason of the specific nature of the use of the
Premises by Lessee, in which case Lessee shall bear the cost of such repairs or changes. If such
structural changes or repairs are required after the Warranty Date and are not required by reason
of the specific nature of Lessee’s use of the Premises, the cost of such
20
structural changes or repairs, except as provided in Paragraph 14(a), shall be treated as an
Operating Expense and shall be amortized in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 5(b).
(f) Lessee shall surrender the Premises (including the Tenant Improvement Work) by the last
day of the Lease term or any earlier termination date, with all of the improvements to the Premises
and the interior common areas of the Building, parts, and surfaces thereof clean and free of debris
and in good operating order, condition, and state of repair, except for ordinary wear and tear and
except for damage caused by casualty, the elements, acts of God or other force majeure events, a
taking by eminent domain, maintenance that is Lessor’s responsibility hereunder, Hazardous
Materials not released or emitted in violation of Laws by Lessee or its agents, employees or
contractors, and alterations or other improvements made by Lessee with Lessor’s prior written
consent which Lessee is not required to remove as a condition to Lessor’s approval of such
alterations or improvements. “Ordinary wear and tear” shall not include any damage or deterioration
that would have been prevented by commercially reasonable maintenance practice or by Lessee
performing all of its obligations under this Lease. The obligations of Lessee shall include the
repair of any damage occasioned by the installation, maintenance, or removal of Lessee’s trade
fixtures, furnishings, equipment, and alterations, and the restoration by Lessee of the Premises to
its condition prior to any alterations, additions, or improvements made by Lessee, subject to the
exceptions set forth in the first sentence of this subparagraph (f) (1) if Lessor’s consent thereto
was conditioned upon such removal and restoration upon expiration or sooner termination of the
Lease term pursuant to Paragraph 14(d), or (2) if Lessee made any such alterations, additions, or
improvements without obtaining Lessor’s prior written consent in breach of Paragraph 14(d), and
within a reasonable time after the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease term Lessor gives
written notice to Lessee requiring Lessee to perform such removal and restoration. Lessee’s
obligations under this Paragraph 14 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease.
15. Utilities and Services.
(a) Lessee shall contract for and pay directly the cost of all electricity, telephone, gas,
water, heat and air conditioning service, janitorial service, refuse pick-up, sewer charges, and
all other utilities or services supplied to or consumed by Lessee, its agents, employees,
contractors, and invitees, on or about the Premises and the common areas of the Building.
(b) Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee for any interruption or failure of any utility
services to the Building or the Premises which is not caused by the negligence or willful acts of
Lessor, or Lessor’s employees, agents, or contractors. Lessee shall not be relieved from the
performance of any covenant or agreement in this Lease because of any such interruption or
failure. If the Premises should become not reasonably suitable for Lessee’s use as a consequence
of cessation of utilities or other services, interference with access to the Premises, legal
restrictions or the presence of any Hazardous Material which does not result from Lessee’s release
or emission of such Hazardous Material, and in any of the foregoing cases the interference with
Lessee’s use of the Premises persists for seven (7) consecutive days or more, then Lessee shall be
entitled to an equitable abatement of rent thereafter to the extent of the interference with
Lessee’s use of the Premises occasioned thereby and until the interference ceases. If the
interference persists for more than ninety (90) consecutive days, Lessee shall have the right to
terminate this Lease by giving written notice of termination to Lessor.
21
16. Liens. Lessee agrees to keep the Property free from all liens arising out of any
improvement work performed by Lessee or arising out of any other work performed, materials
furnished, or obligations incurred by Lessee. Lessee shall give Lessor at least ten (10) days prior
written notice before commencing any work of improvement on the Premises approved in writing by
Lessor pursuant to Paragraph 14(d), the contract price for which exceeds Twenty-five Thousand
Dollars ($25,000). Lessor shall have the right to post notices of non-responsibility with respect
to any such work. If Lessee shall, in good faith, contest the validity of any such lien, claim or
demand, then Lessee shall, at its sole expense, defend and protect itself, Lessor and the Property
against the same, and shall pay and satisfy any such adverse judgment that may be rendered thereon
or provide a lien release bond in accordance with applicable law before the enforcement thereof
against Lessor or the Property.
17. Assignment and Subletting.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Xxxxxxxxx 00, Xxxxxx shall not assign this Lease, or
any interest therein, voluntarily or involuntarily, and shall not sublet the Premises or any part
thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, without the prior written consent of
Lessor in each instance pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth below, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned, subject to the following provisions.
(b) Prior to any assignment or sublease which Lessee desires to make, Lessee shall provide to
Lessor the name and address of the proposed assignee or sublessee, true and complete copies of all
documents relating to Lessee’s prospective agreement to assign or sublease, a copy of a current
financial statement for such proposed assignee or sublessee, and Lessee shall specify in writing
all consideration to be received by Lessee for such assignment or sublease in the form of lump sum
payments, installments of rent, or otherwise. For purposes of this Paragraph 17, the term
“consideration” shall include all money or other consideration to be received by Lessee for such
assignment or sublease. Within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of such documentation and other
information, Lessor shall (1) notify Lessee in writing that Lessor elects to consent to the
proposed assignment or sublease subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; or (2)
notify Lessee in writing that Lessor refuses such consent, specifying reasonable grounds for such
refusal.
If Lessee shall propose to sublease more than fifty percent (50%) of the rentable square feet
of the Premises for substantially the remainder of the initial term, or the option extension
period, as applicable, except to one or more “Permitted Affiliates” (as defined in Paragraph
17(g)), it shall so notify Lessor in writing, specifying the proposed commencement date of the
proposed sublease. Lessee may give such notification prior to locating a proposed sublessee and
shall otherwise not be required to comply with the requirements of the previous paragraph. After
its receipt of such notice from Lessee, Lessor may notify Lessee that Lessor elects to terminate
this Lease, effective as of the proposed sublease commencement date specified in Lessee’s notice.
If Lessor elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to the foregoing provision, upon the effective
date of termination, Lessor and Lessee shall each be released and discharged from any liability or
obligation to the other under this Lease accruing thereafter with respect to the Property, except
for any obligations then outstanding and except for any indemnity obligations or other obligations
which survive the expiration or termination of this Lease by the
22
express terms hereof, and Lessee agrees that Lessor may enter into a direct lease with a proposed
assignee or sublessee, if any, without any obligation or liability to Lessee.
(c) In deciding whether to consent to any proposed assignment or sublease,
Lessor may take into account whether or not reasonable conditions have been satisfied,
including, but not limited to, the following:
(1) In Lessor’s reasonable judgment, the proposed assignee or subtenant is engaged in such a
business, that the Premises, or the relevant part thereof, will be used in such a manner which
complies with Paragraph 8 hereof entitled “Use” and Lessee or the proposed assignee or sublessee
submits to Lessor documentary evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lessor that such proposed use
constitutes a permitted use of the Premises pursuant to the ordinances and regulations of the City
of Santa Xxxxx;
(2) The proposed assignee or sublessee shall be a reputable person or entity with sufficient
financial net worth so as to reasonably indicate that it will be able to meet its obligations
under this Lease or the sublease in a timely manner;
(3) The proposed assignment or sublease shall be subject to approval by Lessor’s mortgage
lender, but only if Lessor’s mortgage lender so requires under the express terms of its written
agreement with Lessor; and Lessor shall use its good faith efforts to obtain such approval
promptly following Lessee’s request; and
(4) Lessor’s consent to the assignment or sublease shall be in a separate instrument
containing the relevant provisions of this Paragraph 17 and otherwise in form reasonably
acceptable to Lessor and its counsel.
(d) As a condition to Lessor’s granting its consent to any assignment or
sublease, (1) Lessor may require that Lessee reimburse Lessor for Lessor’s reasonable
attorneys’ fees incurred in the negotiation, preparation, and review by Lessor and Lessor’s counsel of
the documentation relating to the proposed assignment or sublease, including Lessor’s consent
thereto, not to exceed One Thousand Dollars ($1,000); (2) Lessor may require that Lessee pay
to Lessor, as and when received by Lessee, fifty percent (50%) of the amount of any excess of
the consideration to be received by Lessee in connection with said assignment or sublease over
and above the rental amount fixed by this Lease and payable by Lessee to Lessor, after deducting
only (A) any improvement allowance or other economic concessions (space planning allowance,
moving expenses, etc.) paid by Lessee to assignee or sublessee in connection with such
assignment or sublease; (B) a standard leasing commission payable by Lessee in consummating
such assignment or sublease (C) reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Lessee and Lessor in
connection with such assignment or sublease; (D) the unamortized cost of any tenant
improvements paid for by the Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance, provided, that Lessee
has made all monthly payments to Lessor required by Paragraph 13(b) with respect to the
Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance through the effective date of the assignment or
sublease and Lessee confirms in writing Lessee’s obligation to pay the balance thereof in
accordance with Paragraph 13(b) notwithstanding such assignment or sublease; and (E) the
unamortized balance (on a straight line basis) of the cost of any other tenant improvements
paid for by Lessee pursuant to and in compliance with Paragraph 14(d); and (3) Lessee and the
23
proposed assignee or sublessee shall demonstrate to Lessor’s reasonable satisfaction that each of
the criteria referred to in subparagraph (c) above is satisfied.
(e) Each assignment or sublease agreement to which Lessor has consented shall be an
instrument in writing which complies with the provisions of this Paragraph 17 and in form
reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, and shall be executed by both Lessee and the assignee or
sublessee, as the case may be. Each such assignment or sublease agreement shall recite that it is
and shall be subject and subordinate to the provisions of this Lease, that the assignee or
sublessee accepts such assignment or sublease, that Lessor’s consent thereto shall not constitute
a consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting by Lessee or the assignee or sublessee, and,
except as otherwise set forth in a sublease approved by Lessor, agrees to perform all of the
obligations of Lessee hereunder (to the extent such obligations relate to the portion of the
Premises assigned or subleased or as appropriate), and that the termination of this Lease shall,
at Lessor’s sole election, constitute a termination of every such assignment or sublease.
(f) In the event Lessor shall consent to an assignment or sublease, except as otherwise
provided in Paragraphs 17(g) or 17(h), Lessee shall remain primarily liable for all obligations
and liabilities of Lessee under this Lease, including, but not limited to, the payment of rent.
(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee may, without Lessor’s prior written consent, and
without any participation by Lessor in assignment and subletting proceeds, assign this Lease or
sublet all or any portion of the Premises to a subsidiary, affiliate, division or corporation
controlled by or under common control with Lessee, or to a successor corporation to Lessee by
merger, consolidation or reorganization, or to a purchaser of substantially all of Lessee’s
business operations conducted on the Premises (each, a “Permitted Affiliate”); provided, that
except as specified hereafter (and except in cases where Lessee does not survive the transaction),
Lessee shall remain primarily liable for all obligations and liabilities of Lessee under this
Lease, including, but not limited to, the payment of rent. Lessee’s foregoing rights to assign
this Lease or to sublet the Premises shall be subject to the following conditions: (1) there shall
be no uncured Event of Default (as defined in Paragraph 22) by Lessee under this Lease; (2) in the
case of an assignment or subletting to a Permitted Affiliate, Lessee shall remain liable to Lessor
hereunder to the extent Lessee survives the transaction, (3) if as a result of a merger,
consolidation, or reorganization Lessee is not a surviving entity, the transferee or successor
entity to Lessee shall have on the effective date of such transaction a net worth as shown on its
current balance sheet certified by an officer of the assignee or sublessee (hereinafter
“transferee”) or successor entity at least equal to that of Lessee immediately prior to the
effective date of the assignment or sublease, or, if less, financial resources sufficient, in
Lessor’s reasonable good faith judgment, to perform the obligations under the assignment or
sublease, as applicable; and (4) the transferee or successor entity shall expressly assume in
writing Lessee’s obligations hereunder accruing from and after the effective date of such
assignment or subletting.
(h) The sale or transfer of Lessee’s capital stock in a public offering pursuant to an
effective registration statement filed by Lessee with the Securities and Exchange Commission or
otherwise in connection with any other bona fide financing transaction shall not be deemed an
assignment, subletting, or other transfer of this Lease or the Premises, provided, that in the
event of the sale, transfer or issuance of Lessee’s securities in connection with a
24
merger, consolidation, or reorganization in which Lessee is not a surviving entity, the
conditions set forth in Paragraph 17(g)(1), (3), and (4) shall apply.
(i) Subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 17 any assignment or sublease without Lessor’s
prior written consent (where such consent is required hereunder) shall at Lessor’s election be
void. The consent by Lessor to any assignment or sublease shall not constitute a waiver of the
provisions of this Paragraph 17, including the requirement of Lessor’s prior written consent, with
respect to any subsequent assignment or sublease. If Lessee shall purport to assign this Lease, or
sublease all or any portion of the Premises, without Lessor’s prior written consent (if such
consent is required hereunder), Lessor may collect rent from the person or persons then or
thereafter occupying the Premises and apply the net amount collected to the rent reserved herein,
but no such collection shall be deemed a waiver of Lessor’s rights and remedies under this
Paragraph 17, or the acceptance of any such purported assignee, sublessee, or occupant, or a
release of Lessee from the further performance by Lessee of covenants on the part of Lessee herein
contained.
(j) Lessee shall not hypothecate or encumber its interest under this Lease or any rights of
Lessee hereunder, or enter into any license or concession agreement respecting all or any portion
of the Premises, without Lessor’s prior written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld,
subject to all of the provisions of this Paragraph 17.
(k) In the event of any sale or exchange of the Premises by Lessor and assignment of this
Lease by Lessor, Lessor shall, upon providing Lessee with written confirmation that Lessor has
transferred any security deposit and Letter of Credit held by Lessor, to Lessor’s successor in
interest and upon the assumption by the transferee of all of Lessor’s obligations hereunder
accruing from and after the effective date of such assignment, be and hereby is entirely relieved
of all liability under any and all of Lessor’s covenants and obligations contained in or derived
from this Lease with respect to the period commencing with the consummation of the sale or
exchange and assignment.
(l) The parties acknowledge that Lessor has the remedy described in California Civil Code
Section 1951.4 (Lessor may continue the Lease in effect after Lessee’s breach and abandonment and
recover rent as it becomes due, if Lessee has right to sublet or assign, subject only to
reasonable limitations).
18. Non-Waiver.
(a) No waiver of any provision of this Lease shall be implied by any failure of Lessor to
enforce any remedy for the violation of that provision, even if that violation continues or is
repeated. Any waiver by Lessor or Lessee of any provision of this Lease must be in writing.
(b) No receipt of Lessor of a lesser payment than the rent required under this Lease shall be
considered to be other than on account of the earliest rent due, and no endorsement or statement
on any check or letter accompanying a payment or check shall be considered an accord and
satisfaction. Lessor may accept checks or payments without prejudice to Lessor’s right to recover
all amounts due and pursue all other remedies provided for in this Lease.
25
Lessor’s receipt of monies from Lessee after giving notice to Lessee terminating this Lease
shall in no way reinstate, continue, or extend the Lease term or affect the termination notice
given by Lessor before the receipt of those monies. After serving notice terminating this Lease,
filing an action, or obtaining final judgment for possession of the Premises, Lessor may receive
and collect any rent, and the payment of that rent shall not waive or affect such prior notice,
action, or judgment.
19. Holding Over. Lessee shall vacate the Premises and deliver the same to Lessor in
the condition required by this Lease upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease. In
the event of holding over by Lessee after the expiration or termination of this Lease without
Lessor’s written consent, such holding over shall be on a month-to-month tenancy and all of the
terms and provisions of this Lease shall be applicable during such period, except that Lessee
shall pay Lessor as Monthly Base Rent during such holdover an amount equal to one hundred fifty
percent (150%) of the Monthly Base Rent in effect at the expiration of the term. If such holdover
is without Lessor’s written consent, Lessee shall also be liable to Lessor for all costs,
expenses, and consequential damages incurred by Lessor as a result of such holdover. The rental
payable during such holdover period shall be payable to Lessor on demand.
20. Damage or Destruction.
(a) In the event of a total destruction of the Building and Improvements during the lease
term from any cause, either party may elect to terminate this Lease effective as of the date of
the casualty by giving written notice of termination to the other party within thirty (30) days
after the casualty occurs. A total destruction shall be deemed to have occurred for this purpose
if the Building and Improvements are destroyed to the extent of sixty-five percent (65%) or more
of the replacement cost thereof. If this Lease is not terminated, Lessor shall repair and restore
the Building and Improvements in a diligent manner and this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect, except that Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated in accordance with
Paragraph 20(f) below.
(b) Subject to Paragraph 20(d), in the event of a partial destruction of the Building and
Improvements to an extent less than sixty-five percent (65%) of the replacement cost thereof and
if the damage thereto can be repaired, reconstructed, or restored within a period of two hundred
ten (210) days from the date of such casualty, and if the casualty is from a cause which is
insured (or required to be insured) under Lessor’s “all risk” property insurance, or is insured
under any other coverage then carried by Lessor, Lessor shall forthwith repair the same, and this
Lease shall continue in full force and effect, except that Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent
shall be abated in accordance with Paragraph 20(f) below. If any of the foregoing conditions is
not met, Lessor shall have the option of either repairing and restoring the Building and
Improvements, or terminating this Lease effective as of the date of the casualty by giving written
notice of termination to Lessee within thirty (30) days after the casualty, subject to the
provisions of Paragraph 20(c). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Paragraph 20, except as set forth in Paragraph 20(d), Lessor shall not have the right to terminate
this Lease if the cost to repair the damage to the Building and Improvements would cost less than
five percent (5%) of the replacement cost of the Building and Improvements, regardless of whether
or not the casualty is insured. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Paragraph 20, if the cost to repair the damage to the Building and Improvements exceeds five
percent (5%) of the replacement cost of the Building and Improvements, and Lessor elects to
26
terminate this Lease, Lessee may nullify the effect of such termination by giving Lessor written
notice within ten (10) days after receipt by Lessee of Lessor’s notice of termination that Lessee
elects to repair the damage to the Building and Improvements at Lessee’s sole cost (to the extent
the costs exceed the proceeds received by Lessor from Lessor’s property insurance), in which event
this Lease shall remain in effect, provided that Rent abatement shall not extend beyond the date
that the restoration is substantially completed.
(c) In the event of a partial destruction of the Building and Improvements to
an extent equal to or exceeding twenty-five percent (25%), but less than sixty-five percent
(65%) of the replacement cost thereof, or in the event the damage thereto cannot be repaired,
reconstructed, or restored within a period of two hundred ten (210) days from the date of
such casualty, Lessee may terminate this Lease by giving written notice of termination to Lessor
within thirty (30) days after the casualty. The foregoing shall not affect Lessor’s
termination rights under subparagraph (b) above.
Furthermore, if such casualty is from a cause which is not insured under Lessor’s “all risk”
property insurance, or is not required by this Lease to be insured under any other insurance
carried by Lessor or required hereunder to be carried by Lessor, Lessor may elect to repair and
restore the Building and Improvements (provided that Lessee has not elected to terminate this Lease
pursuant to the first sentence of this Paragraph 20(c)), or Lessor may terminate this Lease
effective as of the date of the casualty by giving written notice of termination to Lessee, subject
to the limitations of Paragraph 20(b). Lessor’s election to repair and restore the Building and
Improvements or to terminate this Lease, shall be made and written notice thereof shall be given to
Lessee within forty-five (45) days after the casualty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) if Lessor
has not obtained all necessary governmental permits for the restoration and commenced construction
of the restoration within one hundred twenty (120) days after the casualty, Lessee may terminate
this Lease by written notice to Lessor given at any time prior to the actual commencement of
construction of the restoration; or (2) if Lessor elects to repair and restore the Building and
Improvements under subparagraph (b) or (c) above, but the repairs and restoration are not
substantially completed within two hundred ten (210) days after the casualty plus the period of any
delays in the completion of the repairs and restoration caused by strikes, labor disputes,
unavailability of materials, inclement weather, or acts of God (“force majeure delays”), Lessee may
terminate this Lease by written notice to Lessor given within thirty (30) days after the expiration
of said period of two hundred ten (210) days after the casualty (plus the period of any force
majeure delays, but not by more than sixty (60) additional days), provided that the repairs and
restoration have not been substantially completed prior to the receipt of such notice by Lessor.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph 20,
if at any time during the last twelve (12) months of the initial term of this Lease or at any
time during the last twelve (12) months of the option period, if exercised, there is damage to the
Building and Improvements for which the cost to repair exceeds five percent (5%) of the
replacement cost of the Building and Improvements, whether or not an insured loss, Lessor
may, at Lessor’s option, terminate this Lease effective sixty (60) days following the date of
occurrence of such damage by giving written notice to Lessee of Lessor’s election to do so within
fifteen (15) days after the date of such damage. Provided, however, that if Lessor elects to
terminate this Lease and Lessee is not then in default hereunder and provided further that the partial
destruction of the Building and Improvements is to an extent less than sixty-five percent
(65%)
27
of the replacement cost thereof and the damage can be repaired, reconstructed, or restored within a
period of two hundred ten (210) days following the date of the casualty, then Lessee may negate
Lessor’s election to terminate this Lease by (1) exercising such option within ten (10) days after
receipt of Lessor’s termination notice (but not later than the date on which such option expires),
and (2) providing Lessor with any shortage in insurance proceeds (or adequate assurance thereof)
needed to make the repairs. Subject to the foregoing conditions, if Lessee duly exercise such
option during such period and provides Lessor with funds (or adequate assurance thereof) to cover
any shortage in insurance proceeds, Lessor shall, at Lessor’s expense, repair such damage as soon
as reasonably possible and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. If Lessee fails to
exercise such option prior to the expiration date of the option and provide such funds or assurance
during such period, or if either of the foregoing conditions with respect to the extent of the
destruction or the restoration period is not satisfied, then this Lease shall terminate as of the
date set forth in the first sentence of this subparagraph (d).
(e) If this Lease is not terminated by Lessor or Lessee pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
Lessor shall complete the repairs in a diligent manner and this Lease shall continue in full force
and effect, except that Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated in accordance with
Paragraph 20(f) below.
(f) Subject to the limitation in the last sentence of Paragraph 20(b) above in the event of
repair, reconstruction, or restoration as provided herein, the Monthly Base Rent and Additional
Rent shall be abated proportionally in the ratio which the Lessee’s use of the Premises is
impaired during the period of such repair, reconstruction, or restoration, from the date of the
casualty until such repair, reconstruction or restoration is completed.
(g) With respect to any destruction of the Building and Improvements which Lessor is
obligated to repair, or may elect to repair, under the terms of this Paragraph 20, the provisions
of Section 1932, Subdivision 2, and of Section 1933, Subdivision 4, of the Civil Code of the State
of California are waived by the parties. Lessor’s obligation to repair and restore the Building
and Improvements shall include the Tenant Improvement Work referred to in Paragraph 13(a). Lessor
shall also repair and restore any other leasehold improvements constructed thereafter by Lessor,
or by Lessee with Lessor’s prior written consent. Lessor’s time for completion of the repairs and
restoration of the Building and Improvements referred to above shall be extended by a period equal
to any delays caused by strikes, labor disputes, unavailability of materials, inclement weather,
or acts of God, but not by more than forty-five (45) days.
(h) In the event of termination of this Lease pursuant to any of the provisions of this
Paragraph 20, the Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be apportioned on a per diem basis
and shall be paid to the date of the casualty. In no event shall Lessor be liable to Lessee for
any damages resulting to Lessee from the occurrence of such casualty, or from the repairing or
restoration of the Building and Improvements, or from the termination of this Lease as provided
herein, nor shall Lessee be relieved thereby from any of Lessee’s obligations hereunder, except to
the extent and upon the conditions expressly set forth in this Paragraph 20, and except in the
event of termination of this Lease by either party in which case Lessee shall be relieved of its
obligations under this Lease that accrue from and after the date of such termination, except for
obligations which survive the expiration or termination of this Lease by the express provisions
hereof.
28
21. Eminent Domain.
(a) If the whole or any substantial part of the Property is taken or condemned by any
competent public authority for any public use or purpose, the term of this Lease shall end upon
the earlier to occur of the date when the possession of the part so taken shall be required for
such use or purpose or the vesting of title in such public authority. Rent shall be apportioned as
of the date of such termination. Lessee shall be entitled to receive any damages separately
awarded by the court for (1) leasehold improvements installed at Lessee’s expense or other
property owned by Lessee, and (2) reasonable costs of moving by Lessee to another location in
Santa Xxxxx County, California. The entire balance of the award shall be the property of Lessor.
(b) If there is a partial taking of the Property by eminent domain which is not a substantial
part of the Property and the balance of the Property remains reasonably suitable for continued use
and occupancy by Lessee for the purposes referred to in Paragraph 8, Lessor shall complete any
necessary repairs in a diligent manner and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect with a
just and proportionate abatement of the Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent, based on the extent
to which Lessee’s use of the Property is impaired thereafter. If after a partial taking, the
Property is not reasonably suitable for Lessee’s continued use and occupancy for the uses permitted
herein, Lessee may terminate this Lease effective on the earlier of the date title vests in the
public authority or the date possession is taken. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 21(a), the
entire award for such taking shall be the property of Lessor.
22. Remedies. If Lessee fails to make any payment of rent or any other sum due
under this Lease for ten (10) days or more after receipt by Lessee of written notice from
Lessor
stating that the same is due and owing; or if Lessee breaches any other term of this Lease
for
thirty (30) days or more after receipt by Lessee of written notice from Lessor (unless such
default
is reasonably incapable of cure within thirty (30) days and Lessee commences cure within
thirty
(30) days and diligently prosecutes the cure to completion within a reasonable time); or if
Lessee
breaches any provision of this Lease and such breach is not curable; or if Lessee’s interest
herein, or any part thereof, is assigned or transferred, either voluntarily or by operation
of law
(except as expressly permitted by other provisions of this Lease); or if Lessee makes a
general
assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or if this Lease is rejected (1) by a bankruptcy
trustee
for Lessee, (2) by Lessee as debtor in possession, or (3) by failure of Lessee as a bankrupt
debtor
to act timely in assuming or rejecting this Lease; then any of such events shall constitute
an event
of default and breach of this Lease by Lessee and Lessor may, at its option, elect the
remedies
specified in either subparagraph (a) or (b) below. Any such rejection of this Lease referred
to
above shall not cause an automatic termination of this Lease. Whenever in this Lease
reference
is made to a default by Lessee, such reference shall refer to an event of default after any
notice
and expiration of the cure period provided for in this Paragraph 22, or elsewhere in this
Lease (an “Event of Default”).
(a) Lessor may repossess the Premises and remove all persons and property therefrom. If
Lessor repossesses the Premises because of an Event of Default by Lessee, this Lease shall
terminate and Lessor may recover from Lessee:
(1) the worth at the time of award of the unpaid rent which had been earned at the time
of termination including interest thereon at a rate equal to the Federal discount
29
rate plus one percent (1%), or the maximum legal rate of interest, whichever is less, from the
time of termination until paid;
(2) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have
been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that
Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided, including interest thereon at a rate equal to the
Federal discount rate plus one percent (1%) per annum, or the maximum legal rate of interest,
whichever is less, from the time of termination until paid;
(3) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of
the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss for the same period that
Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided, discounted at the discount rate published by the
Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco for member banks at the time of award plus one percent (1%);
and
(4) any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all the detriment proximately caused
by Lessee’s breach or by Lessee’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in
the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom.
(b) If Lessor does not repossess the Premises, then this Lease shall continue in effect for
so long as Lessor does not terminate Lessee’s right to possession and Lessor may enforce all of
its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the rent and other sums
due from Lessee hereunder. For the purposes of this Paragraph 22, the following do not constitute
a repossession of the Premises by Lessor or a termination of the Lease by Lessor:
(1) Acts of maintenance or preservation by Lessor or efforts by Lessor to relet the Premises;
or
(2) The appointment of a receiver by Lessor to protect Lessor’s interests under this Lease.
23. Lessee’s Personal Property. If any personal property of Lessee remains on the
Premises after (1) Lessor terminates this Lease pursuant to Paragraph 22 above following an Event
of Default by Lessee, or (2) after the expiration of the Lease term or after the termination of
this Lease pursuant to any other provisions hereof, Lessor shall give written notice thereof to
Lessee pursuant to applicable law. Lessor shall thereafter release, store, and dispose of any such
personal property of Lessee in accordance with the provisions of applicable law.
24. Notices.
(a) All notices, statements, demands, requests, or consents given hereunder by either party
to the other shall be in writing and shall be personally delivered, or shall be sent by a
recognized overnight delivery service, or shall be sent by United States mail, first class, or

material defaults; and (5) any other provisions reasonably requested by either party.
26. Parking. Lessee shall have the use of all parking spaces on the Property for the
term of the Lease, including the option extension period if the Option to Extend is exercised.
Lessor shall not at any time during the term of this Lease, as extended, reduce the number of
parking spaces available on the Property.
27. Signage. Lessee shall have the right to erect at Lessee’s expense at least two
(2) monument signs and at least three (3) exterior Building signs, each with Lessee’s name and

Building signage, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and
subject to Lessee obtaining necessary City of Santa Xxxxx approvals and complying with applicable
City of Santa Xxxxx ordinances and regulations with respect to such signage. Lessee shall not
place any other signs on or about the exterior of the Building or the areas of Property outside of
the Building without Lessor’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Lessee shall promptly remove all such signage at Lessee’s
expense upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.
28. Real Estate Brokers. Subject to the execution and delivery of this Lease by the
parties and the payment by Lessee to Lessor of the first month’s Monthly Base Rent, the Security
Deposit, and delivery to Lessor of the Letter of Credit as provided herein, Lessor shall pay a
procuring leasing commission for this transaction to Starboard TCN and Xxxxx Xxxxxx Associates,
and a separate commission to CPS
CORFAC International (“CPS”), pursuant to the terms of a separate commission agreement between Lessor and said brokers. Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that Starboard TCN and Xxxxx Xxxxxx Associates are acting solely as the agent of Lessee in this transaction and that CPS is acting solely as the agent for Lessor in this transaction. Lessor and Lessee each represents to the other that it has not had any dealings with any real estate broker, finder, or other person with respect to this Lease other than the aforementioned brokers, and each party shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other party from all damages, expenses, and liabilities resulting from any claims that may be asserted against the other party by any broker, finder, or other person with whom the indemnifying party has or purportedly has dealt other than the aforementioned brokers.

29. Subordination: Attornment.
(a) This Lease, without any further instrument, shall at all times be subject and subordinate
to any and all mortgages and deeds of trust which may now or hereafter affect Lessor’s estate in
the real property of which the Premises form a part, and to all advances made or hereafter to be
made upon the security thereof, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements
and extensions thereof. Lessor agrees to provide Lessee with commercially reasonable
non-disturbance agreement(s) in favor of Lessee from any existing or future mortgagee(s), ground
lessor(s) or lien holder(s) (“Lender”) of Lessor, in consideration of,
32
and as a condition precedent to Lessee’s agreement to be bound by the foregoing. Such commercially
reasonable non-disturbance agreements shall provide that so long as Lessee is not in default
hereunder beyond any applicable notice and cure period that upon acquiring title to the real
property of which the Premises form a part by foreclosure or otherwise (1) this Lease shall not be
terminated, and (2) such holder or other person or persons purchasing or otherwise acquiring the
real property of which the Premises form a part by foreclosure or otherwise shall recognize all of
Lessee’s rights hereunder which accrue thereafter, provided that such person or persons purchasing
or acquiring the real property of which the Premises form a part shall not be obligated to cure any
defaults by Lessor existing at the time of such purchase or acquisition (but the foregoing
provision shall not excuse the performance of obligations of Lessor to the extent such obligations
arise after such purchase or acquisition), and shall not disturb Lessee’s right to quiet enjoyment
of the Premises under the terms of this Lease, on the condition that Lessee agrees in writing to
attorn to such holder or purchaser. Said non-disturbance agreements shall be in recordable form and
shall be recorded at the election and expense of Lessee, Lessor, or the Lender.
(b) In confirmation of such subordination, Lessee shall promptly execute any certificate or
other instrument which is in commercially reasonable form and Lessor deems proper to evidence such
subordination, without expense to Lessor; provided, however, that if any person or persons
purchasing or otherwise acquiring the real property of which the Premises are a part by any sale,
sales and/or other proceedings under such mortgages and/or deeds of trust, shall elect to continue
this Lease in full force and effect in the same manner and with like effect as if such person or
persons had been named as Lessor herein, then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect
as aforesaid, and Lessee hereby attorns and agrees upon request to attorn to such person or
persons.
30. Breach by Lessor.
(a) Lessor shall not be deemed in breach of this Lease unless Lessor fails within a
reasonable time to perform an obligation required to be performed by Lessor pursuant to this
Lease. For purposes of this Paragraph 30, a reasonable time shall in no event be less then thirty
(30) days after receipt by Lessor, and by the holders of any mortgage or deed of trust covering
the Premises whose name and address have been furnished to Lessee in writing for such purposes, of
written notice specifying wherein such obligation of Lessor has not been performed; provided,
however, that if the nature of Lessor’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days after
such notice are reasonably required for its performance, then Lessor shall not be in breach of
this Lease if performance is commenced within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter
diligently pursued to completion.
(b) In the event of a breach of this Lease by Lessor, Lessee’s sole remedy shall be to
institute an action against Lessor for damages or for injunctive or equitable relief, but Lessee
shall not have the right to rent abatement, to offset against rent, or to terminate this Lease.
Lessee expressly waives the defense of constructive eviction.
31. Lessor’s Entry. Except in the case of an emergency and except for permitted
entry during Lessee’s normal working hours for regularly scheduled maintenance, Lessor and
Lessor’s agents shall provide Lessee with at least twenty-four (24) hours’ notice prior to
entry of the Premises by Lessor and Lessor’s agents. Such entry by Lessor and Lessor’s agents shall
not
33
interfere with Lessee’s operations more than reasonably necessary, and Lessor shall exercise
reasonable efforts to comply with Lessee’s reasonable security measures and Lessee’s safety
protocols, provided that such security measures and safety protocols are known by Lessor. If
required by Lessee, Lessor and Lessor’s agents shall at all times be accompanied by a
representative of Lessee during any such entry except in case of emergency. Lessor may enter the
Premises without prior notice to Lessee if Lessee has abandoned or surrendered possession of the
Premises.
32. Attorneys’ Fees. If any action at law or in equity shall be brought to recover
any rent under this Lease, or for or on account of any breach of or to enforce or interpret any of
the provisions of this Lease or for recovery of the possession of the Premises, the prevailing
party shall be entitled to recover from the other party costs of suit and reasonable attorneys’
fees, the amount of which shall be fixed by the court and shall be made a part of any judgment
rendered.
33. Compliance with CC&Rs. During the term of this Lease and any option extension
period, Lessee shall comply, at Lessee’s expense, with all of the covenants, conditions, and
restrictions affecting the Premises which are recorded in the Official Records of Santa Xxxxx
County, California, and which are in effect as of the date of this Lease. Lessor agrees to provide
Lessee with a copy of such CC&Rs prior to the execution of this Lease by Lessee.
34. Quiet Possession. So long as no Event of Default by Lessee exists under this
Lease, Lessee shall have quiet enjoyment and possession of the Premises for the entire term hereof
subject to all of the provisions of this Lease.
35. Force Majeure. Neither Lessor nor Lessee shall be in default in the performance
of any obligation under this Lease (other than any monetary obligation) to the extent such party
is unable to perform any of its obligations on account of any prevention, delay, stoppage due to
strikes, lockouts, inclement weather, labor disputes, inability to obtain labor materials, fuels,
energy or reasonable substitutes therefor, governmental restrictions, regulations: controls,
actions or inaction (including, but not limited to, any action or inaction with respect to the
issuance of any permit or approval, or the conduct of any inspection, for the Tenant Improvement
Work), civil commotion, fire or other acts of God, acts of war, terrorism, bioterrorism, national
emergency, or any other cause of any kind beyond the reasonable control of such party (except
financial inability) (collectively “Force Majeure”).
36. Right of First Offer to Purchase the Property. Lessor hereby grants to Lumenis
Inc. on the terms and conditions set forth herein, the right of first offer (“Right of First
Offer”) to purchase the Property, if Lessor elects to offer the Property for sale. The Right of
First Offer is personal to Lumenis Inc. and shall not be assignable to, or exercisable by, any
other person or entity (except a Permitted Affiliate as defined in Paragraph 17(g)). The exercise
of the Right of First Offer by Lumenis Inc. is conditional upon Lumenis Inc. (or a Permitted
Affiliate) being in possession of the Premises under this Lease with no uncured default by Lessee
hereunder, provided Lessor has previously given written notice of the default to Lessee and a
reasonable opportunity to cure the default.
(a) Lessor’s right to sell the Property at any time during the period commencing on the
Commencement Date and ending on the first to occur of (i) the termination by Lessor of this Lease
on account of a default by Lessee, or (ii) the expiration of the initial term
34
of this Lease, and the option extension period if exercised by Lessee (the “Right of First Offer
Period”) shall be subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 36.
(b) Subject to the provisions of subparagraph (d) hereof, in the event that Lessor desires to
sell the Property during the Right of First Offer Period, Lessor shall deliver a written offer (the
“First Offer”) to Lessee to sell the Property at least thirty (30) days prior to offering to sell
the Property to any third party. The First Offer shall contain the purchase price, which shall not
exceed its fair market value as determined by Lessor in Lessor’s good faith judgment, and the terms
of sale which Lessor is willing to accept for the Property, and information concerning all liens,
encumbrances, and exceptions to title affecting the Property. Lessee shall have thirty (30) days
after receipt of the First Offer within which to give written notice to Lessor of Lessee’s
acceptance of Lessor’s First Offer to sell the Property. Failure of Lessee to respond to and accept
the First Offer in writing within said thirty (30) day period shall be deemed a rejection of the
First Offer. If Lessee timely accepts in writing Lessor’s First Offer to sell the Property, Lessor
shall sell the Property to Lessee, and Lessee shall purchase the Property from Lessor, in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the First Offer.
(c) If Lessee does not accept Lessor’s First Offer to sell the Property Lessor may thereafter
sell the Property to a third party purchaser. Lessor may sell the Property to a third party for a
purchase price equal to not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the purchase price set forth
in the First Offer. In the event that Lessor proposes to accept a price which is less than one
hundred percent (100%) of the purchase price set forth in the First Offer, or in the event Lessor
proposes to accept an offer to purchase that does not include any of the other material terms of
the First Offer (including title covenants, representations, or economic matters), Lessor shall
not sell the Property to a third party without first re-offering to sell the Property to Lessee in
accordance with subparagraph (b) above, except that Lessee shall have only fifteen (15) days after
receipt of any re-offer within which to accept the re-offer in writing, and failure of Lessee to
do so within such fifteen (15) day period shall be deemed a rejection of the re-offer.
(d) A tax deferred exchange transaction in which Lessor disposes of the Property for like
kind property shall be a transaction which is subject to the Right of First Offer, provided that
Lessee shall be required to cooperate with Lessor in effecting the exchange, including acquiring
the Property from a party to the exchange other than Lessor, but such cooperation shall not
increase Lessee’s liability or expense. A transfer of the Property to the members of the limited
liability company constituting Lessor, to trusts for their benefit, or to their heirs, shall not
be a transaction which is subject to the Right of First Offer, provided that the transferees in
such a transaction shall acquire the Property subject to the Right of First Offer.
(e) The Right of First Offer shall not apply to, and Lessee shall have no Right of First
Offer with respect to, any sale or transfer under a trustee’s power of sale upon foreclosure of a
deed of trust in favor of an unaffiliated third party institutional lender which encumbers the
Property or deed in lieu of foreclosure. Lessee agrees upon request by Lessor at any time during
the Right of First Offer Period to execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Lessor and to any
prospective mortgage lender an instrument in writing agreeing to the foregoing, and, if requested
by such prospective mortgage lender, an instrument in writing subordinating Lessee’s rights under
this Paragraph 36 to the lien of any such mortgage or deed of trust.
35
(f) If Lessee accepts the First Offer, at the closing of the purchase, and upon the
payment by Lessee to Lessor of the purchase price as provided in this Paragraph 36, Lessor shall
transfer and convey fee title to the Property to Lessee subject only to (i) non-delinquent
property taxes and assessments (if any) (which shall be prorated between Lessor and Lessee as of
the date of closing), (ii) existing subleases to sublessees other than Lessee, and (iii) such
other exceptions to title that are then existing and set forth in the First Offer. If the First
Offer submitted by Lessor to Lessee provides for an all cash transaction, Lessor shall pay in full
at close of escrow the existing mortgage indebtedness encumbering the Property, including any
prepayment penalty, or cause the existing mortgage to be defeased, at Lessor’s expense.
(g) Upon the purchase by Lessee of the Property pursuant to this Paragraph 36, Lessor shall,
within ten (10) days after delivery by Lessee to Lessor of a written acceptance of the First
Offer, deliver to Lessee a commitment for title insurance in an amount equal to the purchase price
issued by First American Title Insurance Company, covering the Property and naming Lessee as the
proposed insured in the amount of the purchase price. Lessor shall cure all meritorious title
objections of Lessee prior to the date of the closing of the purchase in order that a title
insurance policy insuring Lessee’s purchase of the Property consistent with the provisions of this
Paragraph 36 can and will be issued upon the closing of the purchase.
(h) The closing of a purchase by Lessee of the Property shall be thirty (30) days after
delivery to Lessor by Lessee of the acceptance of the First Offer, or, if said thirtieth
(30th) day is not a regular business day, then on the next regular business day
thereafter. At the closing, Lessor shall execute and deliver into escrow a Grant Deed
transferring fee title to the Property to Lessee. Lessee shall wire transfer to the escrow holder

(i) At the closing of the sale, all real property taxes and assessments levied and assessed
against the Property for the year in which the closing of the sale occurs shall be prorated
between Lessor and Lessee as of the closing. If at the closing of the purchase the actual amount
of said taxes and assessments for the year in which the closing occurs have not yet been
established, they shall be prorated based on the prior year’s taxes levied and assessed, and when
the actual amount of the taxes and assessments for the year in which the closing occurs are
established, an adjustment shall be made between Lessor and Lessee as to the proportionate share
payable by Lessor and Lessee based on the closing date, and Lessee shall reimburse Lessor or be
reimbursed by Lessor, as the case may be, for any overage resulting from the proration made at the
closing.
(j) At close of escrow Lessee shall assume the lien of all assessments against the Property
if the First Offer so provides.
(k) The closing of the sale of the Property shall take place at First American Title
Insurance Company, 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, or at such other title
company as the parties shall agree. Lessor and Lessee shall pay escrow fees and closing costs in
accordance with Santa Xxxxx County custom. No real estate commission shall be payable on said
sale.
36
(l) Rent payable by Lessee pursuant to this Lease and all other costs and expenses
attributable to the ownership, management, and operation of the Property shall be prorated between
the parties as of the closing date.
(m) Lessee shall be entitled possession of the Property from and after the date of the
closing of the purchase.
(n) Each of the parties agrees to execute such other and further instruments and documents as
may be necessary or convenient to consummate the sale and transfer of the Property in accordance
with the First Offer. Upon termination of the Right of First Offer Period pursuant to subparagraph
36(a) above, Lessee shall upon request by Lessor execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Lessor a
quit claim deed or other appropriate instrument in form for recording acknowledging the
termination and release of Lessee’s rights under this Paragraph 36.
(o) It is understood and agreed that at the closing of the sale and transfer of the Property,
if the First Offer so provides, Lessee shall assume all obligations of Lessor with respect to any
indebtedness secured by a deed of trust to which the Property is subject, including all obligations
of Lessor included in any instrument or document securing the repayment of any such loan.
Notwithstanding that Lessor may not be released and discharged by the lender, Lessee agrees to
indemnify, save and hold Lessor harmless from and against any claim, liability, obligation, or
damage, of whatever kind or nature, including attorneys’ fees, resulting from the failure of Lessee
fully and timely to perform the obligations in connection with any such loan. Such indemnity by
Lessee shall survive the closing of the sale and transfer of the Property.
37. General Provisions.
(a) Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed or construed by the parties hereto or by
any third person to create the relationship of principal and agent or of partnership or of joint
venture of any association between Lessor and Lessee, and neither the method of computation of rent

become effective until this Lease has been duly executed by both Lessee and Lessor and a fully
executed copy of this Lease has been delivered to both Lessee and Lessor.

separate and cumulative and shall not be deemed inconsistent with each other, and no one of them
