LEASE
THIS LEASE is made as of December 17, 2004, by and between WB AIRPORT TECHNOLOGY, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and MACROVISION CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”).
Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord that certain space (the “Premises”) located at 0000 Xx Xx Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx (the “Building”) outlined on the floor plan attached hereto and marked EXHIBIT A, the Premises being agreed, for the purposes of this Lease, to have an area of approximately 73,968 rentable square feet, and part of a 5 building complex (the “Project”) more particularly described in EXHIBIT B attached hereto. The Project contains approximately 295,271 square feet of space (subject to adjustment by the Landlord).
Landlord and Tenant agree that said letting and hiring is upon and subject to the terms, covenants and conditions herein set forth. Landlord and Tenant covenant, as a material part of the consideration for this Lease, to keep and perform each and all of said terms, covenants and conditions for which each is respectively liable and that this Lease is made upon the condition of such performance.
Prior to the Commencement Date (as defined in Article 1.1 below) Tenant shall use diligent efforts to construct on the Premises the Tenant Improvements (as defined in Article 53) substantially in accordance with the specifications and layout set forth on EXHIBIT D (the “Work Letter”) attached hereto.
ARTICLE 1
TERM
1.1 Commencement Date. The term of this Lease shall be for 144 months (“Lease Term”), commencing on February 1, 2005 (the “Commencement Date”), unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided or extended as provided in Article 52. On and after the Commencement Date, the Lease shall continue in full force and effect for the period of time specified as the Lease Term or until this Lease is terminated as otherwise provided herein.
1.1.1 Reference in this Lease to a “Lease Year” shall mean each successive twelve month period commencing with the Commencement Date.
1.1.2 Tenant (or its contractors or agents) may, at no charge to Tenant, enter the Premises after the execution and delivery of this Lease by Landlord and Tenant in order for Tenant to commence installation of furniture, fixtures, trade fixtures, personal property, telecommunications equipment, cabling, and other equipment and to perform the work outlined in the Work Letter Agreement; provided, however, that (a) Landlord shall not be responsible for, and Tenant is required to obtain insurance covering and shall indemnify Landlord against, any loss (including theft), damage or destruction to any such items, or by any contractor or individual involved in the installation of such items, or for any injury to Tenant or Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors, licensees, directors, officers, partners, trustees, visitors or invitees or to any other person, and (b) Landlord shall have the right to post the appropriate notices of non-responsibility and to require Tenant to provide Landlord with reasonable evidence that Tenant has fulfilled its obligation to provide insurance pursuant to this Lease. All terms and conditions of this Lease shall apply to Tenant’s early entry into the Premises except for the payment of Base Rent and Direct Expenses, which will not occur until the third month of the Lease Term.
ARTICLE 2
POSSESSION
Landlord shall deliver full possession of the Premises to Tenant on or before the Commencement Date. Tenant has determined that the Premises are acceptable for Tenant’s use and Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any broker or agent has made any representations or warranties other than as are specifically set forth in Article 11 of this Lease in connection with the physical condition of the Premises or their fitness for Tenant’s use upon which Tenant has relied directly or indirectly for any purpose. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Lease, Landlord shall not be required to make any expenditure, incur any obligation, or incur any liability of any kind whatsoever in connection with this Lease or the ownership, construction, maintenance, operation or repair of the Premises or the Project. Tenant’s possession of the Premises during the period of time, if any, prior to the Commencement Date, shall be subject to all the provisions of this Lease, except that Tenant shall not be required to pay Base Rent or Additional Rent and any such possession shall not advance the expiration date.
ARTICLE 3
RENT
3.1 Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in lawful money of the United States of America, at the address of Landlord designated on the signature page of this Lease or to such other person or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing, the monthly base rent (the “Base Rent”) in advance, without notice, demand, offset or deduction, on the first day of each calendar month. Tenant shall pay the third month’s Base Rent on the date Tenant executes this Lease and shall continue to pay the Base Rent on the first day of each month commencing with the fourth month of the Lease Term (subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided) as follows:

The greater of FMV or $59,174.04 |
Landlord shall, during the 103rd and/or 104th month of the Lease Term, (y) make its determination of FMV for months 109-144 in accordance with Article 54 and (z) deliver notice of such determination to Tenant.
If the Lease Term commences or ends on a date other than the first or last day of a month, Base Rent shall be prorated on the basis of a thirty (30) day month. Tenant shall pay Landlord the Rent (as hereinafter defined) due under this Lease without any deduction or offset whatsoever by Tenant, foreseeable or unforeseeable.
3.2 Additional Rent. In addition to the Base Rent, Tenant agrees to pay as additional rental (the “Additional Rent” and together with the Base Rent, the “Rent”) the amount of rental adjustments and all other charges required by this Lease. All sums other than the Base Rent that Tenant is obligated to pay under this Lease will be Additional Rent, whether or not such sums are designated as Additional Rent.
3.3 Late Charge and Interest. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the late payment of any Rent will cause Landlord to incur additional costs, including administration and collection costs, processing and accounting expenses, and increased debt service (the “Delinquency Costs”). If Landlord has not received any installment of Rent within five (5) days of the date when due, Tenant shall pay a late charge (the “Late Charge”) equal to five percent (5%) of the delinquent amount. Tenant agrees that the Late Charge represents a reasonable estimate of the Delinquency Costs that will be incurred by Landlord. In addition, Tenant shall pay interest on all delinquent amounts from five (5) days after the date the amount was due until the date the amount is paid in full at a rate per annum (the “Applicable Interest Rate”) equal to the lesser of (a) the maximum interest rate permitted by law or (b) three percent (3%) above the reference rate (the “Reference Rate”) publicly announced by Bank of America, NA. (or if Bank of America, NA. ceases to exist, the largest bank then headquartered in the State of California) (the “Bank”). If the Bank discontinues use of the Reference Rate, then the term “Reference Rate” will mean the announced rate charged by the Bank, from time to time instead of the Reference Rate. Landlord and Tenant agree that it is difficult to ascertain the damage that Landlord will suffer as a result of the late payment of any Rent and that the Late Charge and interest are the best estimates of the damage that Landlord will suffer in the event of late payment. If a Late Charge becomes payable for any two (2) installments of Rent within any twelve (12) month period, then all Rent will automatically become due and payable quarterly in advance, until such time as Tenant shall have been current in such obligations for two (2) consecutive years, at which point monthly payments shall resume. Landlord shall make arrangements to allow Tenant to wire Base Rent and Additional Rent directly to Landlord’s bank account on a regular basis.
ARTICLE 4
RENTAL ADJUSTMENT
4.1 Rental Adjustment.
(a) For the purpose of this Lease, the following terms are defined as follows:
(i) Tenant’s Percentage. “Tenant’s Percentage” shall mean, as applicable, (a) 100% of the Premises, (b) that portion of the Building occupied by Tenant divided by the total rentable square footage of the Building, which result is the following, as of the date hereof, subject to adjustment by Landlord in accordance with the terms of this Lease: 78.22%, or (c) that portion of the Project occupied by Tenant divided by the total rentable square footage of the Project, which result is the following, as of the date hereof, subject to adjustment by Landlord in accordance with the terms of this Lease: 25.10%. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord may elect to sell one or more of the buildings within the Project and that upon any such sale, or upon any other event that causes the square footage of the Premises, Building or the Project to change, Tenant’s pro-rata share of those Direct Expenses allocated to the outside areas of the Building or Project may be adjusted accordingly by Landlord.
(ii) Direct Expenses. The term “Direct Expenses” shall include “Taxes” (as hereinafter defined) and “Operating Expenses” (as hereinafter defined).
(A) “Taxes” means the sum of any and all legally required real and personal property taxes and assessments, possessory-interest taxes, business or license taxes or fees, service
payments in lieu of such taxes or fees, annual or periodic license or use fees, excises, transit and traffic charges, housing fund assessments, open space charges, childcare fees, school, sewer and parking fees or any other assessments, levies, fees, exactions or charges, general and special, ordinary and extraordinary, unforeseen as well as foreseen (including fees “in-lieu” of any such tax or assessment) which are assessed, levied, charged, conferred or imposed by any competent public authority upon the Project (or any real property comprising any portion thereof) or its operations, together with all taxes, assessments or other fees imposed by any competent public authority upon or measured by any Rent or other charges payable hereunder, including any gross receipts tax or excise tax levied by any governmental authority with respect to receipt of rental income, or upon, with respect to or by reason of the development, possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion thereof, or documentary transfer taxes upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest in the Premises, together with any tax imposed in substitution, partially or totally, of any tax previously included within the aforesaid definition or any additional tax the nature of which was previously included within the aforesaid definition, together with, whether legally required or not, any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys, administrative and expert witness fees and costs) of challenging any of the foregoing or seeking, the reduction in or abatement, redemption or return of any of the foregoing, but only to the extent of any such reduction, abatement, redemption or return. “Taxes” shall not include any income, franchise, estate, succession, inheritance, or any tax imposed in substitution, partially or totally, of any such tax or any additional tax previously included within any such tax; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation on “Taxes” shall not be deemed or constructed as providing so called “Proposition 13 protection”. All references to Taxes during a particular year shall be deemed to refer to taxes accrued during such year, including supplemental tax bills regardless of when they are actually assessed and without regard to when such taxes are payable. The obligation of Tenant to pay for supplemental taxes shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Tenant’s obligations for Taxes for the last full and/or partial year(s) of the Lease Term shall survive the expiration or early termination of the Lease.
(B) “Operating Expenses” means the total costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in the operation, maintenance, repair and management of the Project and the Common Area (as hereinafter defined) and the Premises, including, but not limited to, (a) cleaning of, repairs to and maintenance of the roof (and roof membrane), skylights and exterior walls of the Premises (provided that capital expenses relating to such items shall be governed by clause (h) of this paragraph (B)); (b) cleaning, maintenance, repair, replacement, utility costs and landscaping of the walkways, landscaped areas, driveways necessary for access to the Premises, parking areas (including sweeping, striping and slurry coating), and other common facilities designated by Landlord from time to time for the common use of all tenants of the Project (the “Common Area”), common driveways, outdoor lighting, walkways, landscaping, and other costs which are allocable to the Project or the real property of which the Premises are a part including any costs under the terms of any recorded covenants affecting the real property or the Project; (c) the costs and premiums relating to the insurance maintained by Landlord with respect to the Project (including, without limitation, any increases in the costs and premiums of any fire, extended coverage or any other insurance policy covering the Premises and/or Project and/or property located therein resulting from the actions of Tenant); (d) service and maintenance contracts for, and the repair and replacement of, the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems and elevators, if any, and maintenance, repair, replacement, monitoring and operation of the fire/life safety system, (e) service and maintenance contracts for security, cleaning, janitorial and landscaping services (all as to the Common Areas only, unless Landlord exercises its right to perform such services with respect to the Premises, such right not to arise unless and until Tenant has failed to perform such obligations, Landlord has given Tenant not less than five (5) days written notice of Landlord’s intent to perform such services and Tenant
has not cured such failure within such five (5) day period, provided that no such notice shall be required in the event of an emergency); (f) trash collection (as to the Common Area only, unless Landlord exercises its right to perform such services with respect to the Premises) (g) the portion of wage and labor costs related to services rendered in connection with the Project, including fringe benefits, applicable to persons engaged in the operation, maintenance and repair of the Project as Landlord’s agents or as independent contractors; (h) in the event Landlord reasonably elects or is required to make any of the following kinds of capital improvements to the Project: (i) capital improvements required to be constructed in order to comply with any applicable laws, statutes, codes, ordinances, orders, rules, regulations, conditions of approval and requirements of all federal, state, county, municipal and governmental authorities and all administrative or judicial orders or decrees and all permits, licenses, approvals and other entitlements issued by governmental entities, and rules of common law, relating to or affecting the Project or the Premises or the use or operation thereof, whether now existing or hereafter enacted, including, without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 USC 12111 et seq. (the “ADA”) as the same may be amended from time to time, all Environmental Laws (as hereinafter defined), and any CC&Rs (as hereinafter defined), or any corporation, committee or association formed in connection therewith, or any supplement thereto recorded in any official or public records with respect to the Project or any portion thereof (collectively, “Applicable Laws”); (ii) modification of existing or construction of additional capital improvements or building service equipment for the purpose of reducing the consumption of utility services or Operating Expenses of the Project, but limited to the extent such modifications result in cost savings; (iii) replacement of capital improvements or building service equipment existing as of the date hereof when required because of normal wear and tear; and (iv) restoration of any part of the Project that has been damaged by any peril to the extent the cost thereof is not covered by insurance proceeds actually recovered by Landlord; provided further that such capital improvements shall be amortized over the useful life of such capital improvement, together with interest on the unamortized balance at three percent (3%) above the Reference Rate over the useful life of the improvement; (i) any and all costs associated with Landlord’s obligations as set forth in Article 13.2 herein; and (j) any other costs incurred by Landlord related to the Project as a whole. Operating Expenses shall include all costs and fees incurred by Landlord in connection with the management of this Lease and the Premises including the cost of those services which are customarily performed by a property management services company, whether performed internally or through an outside management company. Direct Expenses shall not include increased expenses resulting from the acts of tenants of the Project other than Tenant, including but not limited to increased ADA compliance costs, increases in Landlord’s insurance costs caused solely by other tenants of the Project, liens, increased tax assessments or tax penalties, to the extent such increased costs are the responsibility of such other tenants and the cost of tenant improvements or assessments placed against the Project by any governmental agency as a result of a new tenant taking possession or making such tenant improvements, in each case to the extent such other tenant(s) is (are) liable for such amounts. Additionally, Direct Expenses shall only include expenses relating to maintenance or repair of buildings in the Project other than the building located on the Premises if and to the extent that such expenses are allocated on a consistent basis to tenants of the Project based on their respective percentage interests in the Project (and without regard to whether such buildings are vacant, occupied or under lease).
(b) Payment of Direct Expenses.
(i) Tenant shall pay:
(A) Tenant’s Percentage of all Direct Expenses attributable to the Premises as Additional Rent;
(B) Tenant’s Percentage of all Direct Expenses attributable to the Building as Additional Rent; and
(C) Tenant’s Percentage of all Direct Expenses attributable to the Project as Additional Rent.
(ii) Intentionally Blank.
(iii) As soon as possible after the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a detailed statement showing the amount of Tenant’s Percentage of Direct Expenses and the amount of Landlord’s Estimate actually paid by Tenant (“Direct Expense Statement”). If Tenant so requests, Landlord shall provide copies of actual invoices pertaining to these expenses.
(c) Audit Rights.
(i) Provided that no Event of Default has occurred, Tenant shall have the right (“Audit Right”) to, one time per calendar year during the Lease Term, audit Landlord’s records and books used by Landlord in determining the amount of Direct Expenses Tenant is obligated to pay to Landlord for the sole purpose of verifying the accuracy of same (the “Audit”). Any Audit shall cover only one (1) calendar year during the Term of the Lease. Tenant shall provide Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior written notice requesting the Audit, provided, however, that Tenant’s right, if any, to exercise its Audit Right for any subject year shall expire sixty (60) days after the delivery to Tenant of the Direct Expense Statement for the calendar year, including the last year of the Lease Term, which Tenant desires to audit and, unless such right is exercised prior to such time, Tenant shall have waived its right to request such an Audit. Landlord shall make said books and records relevant to such Audit available to Tenant during Landlord’s customary business hours at the office of the property manager of the Project or at such other location designated by Landlord in writing.
(ii) Tenant shall pay all reasonable and necessary third party out-of-pocket costs for the Audit, including, without limitation, all of Landlord’s costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney and accountant fees.
(iii) The Audit shall only be conducted by a reputable accounting firm (“Accounting Firm”) approved in writing by Landlord. As a condition precedent to any such Audit, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of Tenant’s written agreement with such Accounting Firm, which agreement shall include provisions which state that: (A) Landlord is an intended third-party beneficiary of such agreement, (B) such Accounting Firm is not being engaged as a contingency or other incentive based auditor; (C) such Accounting Firm will not in any manner solicit or agree to represent any other tenant of the Project with respect to an audit or other review of Landlord’s accounting records at the Project, and (D) such Accounting Firm shall maintain in strict confidence any and all information obtained in connection with the Audit and shall not disclose such information to any person or entity other than to the management personnel of Tenant. The Accounting Firm, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a confidentiality agreement in form and substance acceptable to Landlord whereby the Accounting Firm and Tenant shall covenant, among other things, that the Accounting Firm and the Tenant shall keep the books and records of Landlord in strict confidence.
(iv) In the event that the amount of Direct Expenses paid by Tenant to Landlord exceed the actual amount of Direct Expenses owed by Tenant to Landlord as disclosed by the Audit, and after such Audit is confirmed and accepted by Landlord, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, such difference shall be applied to the next succeeding payment of Direct Expenses due by Tenant to Landlord.
In the event that the amount of Direct Expenses paid by Tenant to Landlord is less than the actual amount of Direct Expenses owed by Tenant to Landlord as disclosed by the Audit, Tenant shall pay such difference to Landlord within ten (10) days of such determination.
(v) Nothing contained herein shall be construed as providing Tenant with any right or option to examine any other books and records of Landlord or any of Landlord’s affiliated entities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Audit Right granted herein is personal to the originally named Tenant, shall be exercisable only by such originally named Tenant and may not be assigned or exercised by any assignee, sublessee or transferee of Tenant’s interest in this Lease or any successor in interest to Tenant.
(d) Tenant’s obligation to pay Tenant’s Percentage of Direct Expenses shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. Tenant’s Percentage of Direct Expenses shall be paid by Tenant when due even though the Lease Term has expired and/or Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant’s Percentage of Direct Expenses for the year in which this Lease terminates, Tenant shall immediately pay any increase due over the estimated expenses paid and, conversely, any overpayment made in the event said expenses decrease shall be promptly rebated by Landlord to Tenant.
ARTICLE 5
SECURITY DEPOSIT
Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant has deposited with Landlord the sum of $80,984.25 (the “Security Deposit”). The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the full and faithful performance by Tenant of all of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. If Tenant defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, including but not limited to the provisions relating to the payment of Rent, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, use, apply or retain all or any part of this Security Deposit for the payment of any Rent or any other sum in default, or for the payment of any other amount which Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Tenant’s default or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant’s default. If any portion of the Security Deposit is so used or applied, Tenant shall, upon written demand from Landlord, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Tenant’s failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general funds, and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on the Security Deposit. If Tenant shall fully and faithfully perform all of its obligations under this Lease, and if Tenant is not in default under this Lease, the Security Deposit or any balance thereof shall be promptly returned to Tenant (or, at Landlord’s option, to the last assignee of Tenant’s interests hereunder) after the expiration of the Lease Term and after Landlord after such time as any amount due from Tenant in accordance with Article 4 hereof has been determined and paid in full.
ARTICLE 6
USE
Tenant shall use the Premises for general office space and research and development facilities together with other legally permitted uses (the “Permitted Use”) which have been approved by Landlord and are consistent with all City of Santa Xxxxx ordinances and other uses in the Project and Tenant shall not use or permit the Premises to be used for any other purpose without Landlord’s prior written consent. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to give Tenant any exclusive right to such use in the Project.
Tenant shall not use or occupy the Premises in violation of law or of the certificate of occupancy issued for the Premises or Project, and shall, upon written notice from Landlord, discontinue any use of the Premises which is declared by any governmental authority having jurisdiction to be a violation of law or of said certificate of occupancy. Tenant shall comply with any direction of any governmental authority having jurisdiction which shall, by reason of the nature of Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, impose any duty upon Tenant or Landlord with respect to the Premises or with respect to the use or occupation thereof. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done anything which will invalidate or increase (unless Tenant compensates Landlord for such increase in insurance rates as part of Direct Expenses) the cost of any fire, extended coverage or any other insurance policy covering the Premises and/or Project and/or property located therein and shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations and requirements of the Insurance Service Offices, formerly known as the Pacific Fire Rating Bureau or any other organization performing a similar function. Tenant shall promptly, upon written demand, reimburse Landlord for any additional premium charged for such policy solely by reason of Tenant’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Article. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the Project, or injure or annoy them, or use or allow the Premises to be used for any improper, immoral, unlawful or objectionable purpose, nor shall Tenant cause, maintain or permit any nuisance in, on or about the Premises. Tenant shall not commit or suffer to be committed any waste in or upon the Premises. Tenant’s use of the Premises shall be subject to and Tenant shall comply with any recorded covenants, conditions and restrictions (“CC&Rs”) now in place or those customary CC&Rs which are hereinafter recorded which do not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises, as the same may be amended from time to time, and all Applicable Laws. Tenant acknowledges that there have been and may be from time to time recorded easements and/or declarations granting or declaring easements for parking, utilities, fire or emergency access, and other matters. Tenant’s use of the Premises shall be subject to and Tenant shall comply with any and all such easements and declarations. Tenant’s use of the Premises shall be subject to such guidelines as may from time to time be prepared by Landlord in its sole but reasonable discretion. Tenant acknowledges that governmental entities with jurisdiction over the Project may, from time to time promulgate laws, rules, plans and regulations affecting the use of the Premises, including, but not limited to, traffic management plans and energy conservation plans. Tenant’s use of the Project shall be subject to and Tenant shall comply with any and all such laws, rules, plans, and regulations. Tenant, at its sole cost, shall comply with any and all federal, state or local environmental, health and/or safety-related laws, regulations, standards, decisions of courts, ordinances, rules, codes, orders, decrees, directives, guidelines, permits or permit conditions, currently existing and as amended, enacted, issued or adopted in the future which are or become applicable to Tenant’s use of the Premises, the Common Area or the Project (“Environmental Laws”). Tenant shall not store, use or dispose of any “Hazardous Materials” (as hereinafter defined) on the Premises, except as set forth in Article 51. As used herein, “Hazardous Materials” means any chemical, substance, material, controlled substance, object, condition, waste, living organism or combination thereof, whether solid, semi solid, liquid or gaseous, which is or may be hazardous to human health or safety or to the environment due to its radioactivity, ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, explosivity, toxicity, carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, phytotoxicity, infectiousness or other harmful or potentially harmful properties or effects, including, without limitation, petroleum and petroleum products, asbestos, radon, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), refrigerants (including those substances defined in the Environmental Protection Agency’s “Refrigerant Recycling Rule,” as amended from time to time) and all of those chemicals, substances, materials, controlled substances, objects, conditions, wastes, living organisms or combinations thereof which are now or become in the future listed, defined or regulated in any manner by any Environmental Law based upon, directly or indirectly, such properties or effects. In no event shall Tenant be liable for any damages resulting from a pre-existing hazardous condition (whether or not uncovered by Tenant’s due diligence
inspections) or a hazardous condition caused by a third party (other than a Tenant’s Party (hereinafter defined)), unless the same are exacerbated by Tenant’s negligence or willful misconduct.
ARTICLE 7
NOTICES
Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder must be in writing and may be given by personal delivery or by mail, and if given by mail shall be deemed sufficiently given if sent by registered or certified mail addressed to Tenant at the Project, or to Landlord at its address set forth at the end of this Lease. Either party may specify a different address for notice purposes by written notice to the other except that the Landlord may in any event use the Premises as Tenant’s address for notice purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant has subleased substantially all of the Premises or assigned its interest in this Lease, Tenant may specify a different address for notice purposes by written notice to the Landlord and if Tenant fails to so provide such notice, Landlord may use the Premises as Tenant’s address for notices purposes.
ARTICLE 8
BROKERS

If Tenant is required to vacate all or a portion of the Premises during Landlord’s repair thereof, the Base Rent payable hereunder shall be abated proportionately on the basis of the size of the area of the Premises that is damaged (i.e., the number of square feet of floor area of the Premises that is unavailable to Tenant compared to the total square footage of the floor area of the Premises), from the date Tenant vacates all or a portion of the Premises that was damaged only to the extent rental abatement insurance proceeds are received by Landlord and only during the period that the Premises or a portion thereof are unfit for occupancy.
21.1.4 Casualty During the Last Year of the Lease Term. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, if the Premises shall be damaged within the last year of the Lease Term, and if the cost to repair or reconstruct the portion of the Premises which was damaged or destroyed shall exceed one (1) months Rent (as applicable at the time that such damage was incurred), then, irrespective of the time
necessary to complete such repair or reconstruction, Landlord shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to terminate the Lease effective upon the occurrence of such damage, in which event the Rent shall be abated from the date Tenant vacates the Premises. The foregoing right shall be in addition to any other right and option of Landlord under this Article 21.
21.2 Uninsured Casualty. Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay to Landlord Tenant’s Percentage of any deductible or retention amount payable under the property insurance for the Premises. In the event that the Premises is damaged to the extent Tenant is unable to use the Premises and such damage is not covered by insurance proceeds received by Landlord or in the event that the holder of any indebtedness secured by the Premises requires that the insurance proceeds be applied to such indebtedness, then Landlord shall have the right at Landlord’s option, in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, either (i) to repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible at Landlord’s expense, or (ii) to give written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date of the occurrence of such damage of Landlord’s intention to terminate this Lease as of the date of the occurrence of such damage. In the event Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, Tenant shall have the right within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice to give written notice to Landlord of Tenant’s commitment to pay the cost of repair of such damage, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and Landlord shall make such repairs as soon as reasonably possible subject to the following conditions: Tenant shall deposit with Landlord Landlord’s estimated cost of such repairs not later than five (5) business days prior to Landlord’s commencement of the repair work. If the cost of such repairs exceeds the amount deposited, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such excess cost within ten (10) business days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord. Any amount deposited by Tenant in excess of the cost of such repairs shall be refunded within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s final payment to Landlord’s contractor. If Tenant does not give such notice within the ten (10) day period, or fails to make such deposit as required, Landlord shall have the right, in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, to immediately terminate this Lease to be effective as of the date of the occurrence of the damage.
21.3 Waiver. With respect to any damage or destruction which Landlord is obligated to repair or may elect to repair, Tenant waives all rights to terminate this Lease pursuant to rights otherwise presently or hereafter accorded by law, including without limitation any rights granted under Section 1932, subdivision 2, and Section 1933, of the California Civil Code, provided that Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease if and to the extent, and subject to the conditions, specifically provided in this Article 21.
ARTICLE 22
EMINENT DOMAIN
22.1 Total Condemnation. If all of the Premises is condemned by eminent domain, inversely condemned or sold under threat of condemnation for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, this Lease shall terminate as of the earlier of the date the condemning authority takes title to or possession of the Premises, and Rent shall be adjusted to the date of termination.
22.2 Partial Condemnation. If any portion of the Premises is condemned and such partial condemnation materially impairs Tenant’s ability to use the Premises for Tenant’s business, Landlord shall have the option of either (i) relocating Tenant to comparable space within the Project if Tenant so agrees; or (ii) if Tenant does not so agree, terminating this Lease as of the earlier of the date title vests in the condemning authority or as of the date an order of immediate possession is issued and Rent shall be adjusted to the date of termination. If such partial condemnation does not materially impair Tenant’s ability to use the Premises for the business of Tenant, Landlord shall promptly restore the Premises to the extent of any condemnation proceeds recovered by Landlord, excluding the portion thereof lost in such
condemnation, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect except that after the date of such title vesting or order of immediate possession Rent shall be appropriately adjusted on an equitable basis.
22.3 Award. If the Premises are wholly or partially condemned, Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award paid for such condemnation, and Tenant waives any claim to any part of the award from Landlord or the condemning authority; provided, however, Tenant shall have the right to recover from the condemning authority such compensation as may be separately awarded to Tenant which does not reduce Landlord’s award. No condemnation of any kind shall be construed to constitute an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant or a breach of any express or implied covenant of quiet enjoyment. Tenant hereby waives the effect of Sections 1265.120 and 1265.130 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.
22.4 Temporary Condemnation. In the event of a temporary condemnation not extending beyond the Lease Term, this Lease shall remain in effect, Tenant shall continue to pay Rent and Tenant shall receive any award made for such condemnation except damages to any of Landlord’s property. If a temporary condemnation is for a period which extends beyond the Lease Term, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of initial occupancy by the condemning authority and any such award shall be distributed in accordance with the preceding section.
ARTICLE 23
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
23.1 Event of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a default (an “Event of Default”) hereunder by Tenant:
(i) The vacation or abandonment of the Premises by Tenant without paying Rent. Abandonment is herein defined as any absence by Tenant from the Premises for five (5) business days or longer while in default of any provision of this Lease (provided that such period shall be extended to sixty (60) days if Tenant has executed a valid sublease in accordance with the terms hereof, and has moved out of the Premises but the subtenant has not yet moved in, in which case such subtenant shall have sixty (60) days to do so before a default occurs under this clause (i)).
(ii) The failure by Tenant to make any payment of Rent or Additional Rent or any other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder, as and when due.
(iii) The failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the express or implied covenants or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such failure, provided that Tenant commences such cure within five (5) days of such failure, or Tenant’s failure at any time during said thirty (30) day period to diligently pursue the remedies or steps necessary to cure or correct such failure, other than as specified in Article 23.1(i) or (ii); Article 24; Article 25 and Article 26, for which Tenant shall not have any cure period.
(iv) (1) The making by Tenant of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (2) the filing by or against Tenant of a petition to have Tenant adjudged a bankrupt or a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within ninety (90) days); (3) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within ninety (90) days; or (4) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease where such seizure is not discharged within thirty days.
(v) The making of any material misrepresentation or omission by Tenant or any successor in interest of Tenant in any materials delivered by or on behalf of Tenant to Landlord or Landlord’s lender pursuant to this Lease.
23.2. Remedies.
23.2.1 Termination. In the event of the occurrence of any Event of Default, Landlord shall have the right to give a written termination notice to Tenant (which notice shall be in lieu of any notice required by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161, et seq.) and, on the date specified in such notice, this Lease shall terminate unless on or before such date, which in no event will be less than five (5) days from date of delivery of such notice (such five (5) day period being inclusive of the period of a five (5) day (or longer, if elected by Landlord) notice to pay rent or quit), all arrears of Rent and all other sums payable by Tenant under this Lease and all costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of Landlord hereunder shall have been paid by Tenant and all other Events of Default at the time existing shall have been fully remedied to the satisfaction of Landlord.
23.2.2 Repossession. Following termination, without prejudice to other remedies Landlord may have, Landlord may (i) peaceably re-enter the Premises upon voluntary surrender by Tenant or remove Tenant therefrom and any other persons occupying the Premises, using such legal proceedings as may be available; (ii) repossess the Premises or relet the Premises or any part thereof for such term (which may be for a term extending beyond the Lease Term), at such rental and upon such other terms and conditions as Landlord in Landlord’s sole discretion shall reasonably determine, with the right to make reasonable alterations and repairs to the Premises; and (iii) remove all personal property therefrom.
23.2.3 Unpaid Rent. Landlord shall have all the rights and remedies of a landlord provided by Applicable Law, including the right to recover from Tenant: (a) the worth, at the time of award, of the unpaid Rent that had been earned at the time of termination, (b) the worth, at the time of award, of the amount by which the unpaid Rent that would have been earned after the date of termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of loss of rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided, and (c) the worth, at the time of award, of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Lease Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of the loss of rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided, and (d) any other amount, and court costs, necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s default. The phrase “worth, at the time of award,” as used in (a) and (b) above, shall be computed using a per annum rate of the Applicable Interest Rate, and as used in (c) above, shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).
23.2.4 Continuation. Even though an Event of Default may have occurred, this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s right to possession; and Landlord may enforce all of Landlord’s rights and remedies under this Lease, including the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (“Landlord” may continue the Lease in effect after “Tenant’s” breach and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due, if “Tenant” has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations) to recover Rent as it becomes due. Landlord, without terminating this Lease, may, during the period Tenant is in default, enter the Premises and relet the same, or any portion thereof, to third parties for Tenant’s account and Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all costs Landlord incurs in reletting the Premises, including, without limitation, brokers’ commissions, expenses of remodeling the Premises and like costs. Reletting may be for a period shorter or longer than the remaining Lease Term. Tenant shall continue to pay the Rent on the date the same is due. No act by Landlord hereunder, including acts of maintenance, preservation or efforts to lease the
Premises or the appointment of a receiver upon application of Landlord to protect Landlord’s interest under this Lease shall terminate this Lease unless Landlord notifies Tenant that Landlord elects to terminate this Lease. In the event that Landlord elects to relet the Premises, the rent that Landlord receives from reletting shall be applied to the payment of, first, any indebtedness from Tenant to Landlord other than Base Rent and Additional Rent; second, all costs, including maintenance, incurred by Landlord in reletting; and, third, Base Rent and Additional Rent under this Lease. After deducting the payments referred to above, any sum remaining from the rental Landlord receives from reletting shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future Rent as Rent becomes due under this Lease. In no event shall Tenant be entitled to any excess rent received by Landlord. If, on the date Rent is due under this Lease, the rent received from the reletting is less than the Rent due on that date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in addition to the remaining Rent due, all costs, including maintenance, which Landlord incurred in reletting the Premises that remain after applying the rent received from reletting as provided hereinabove. So long as this Lease is not terminated, Landlord shall have the right to remedy any default of Tenant, to maintain or improve the Premises, to cause a receiver to be appointed to administer the Premises and new or existing subleases and to add to the Rent payable hereunder all of Landlord’s reasonable costs in so doing, including without limitation attorney’s fees and costs, with interest at a per annum rate of the Applicable Interest Rate from the date of such expenditure. Landlord shall have no duty to relet the Premises so long as it has other unleased space available in the Project.
23.2.5 Cumulative. Each right and remedy of Landlord provided for herein or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and shall not preclude Landlord from exercising any other rights or remedies provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, by statute or otherwise. No payment by Tenant of a lesser amount than the Rent nor any endorsement on any check or letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction of full payment of Rent; and Landlord may accept such payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such Rent or to pursue other remedies.
ARTICLE 24
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
24.1 Tenant shall not voluntarily assign or encumber its interest in this Lease or in the Premises, or sublease all or any part of the Premises, or allow any other person or entity to occupy or use all or any part of the Premises, without first obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or conditioned. Tenant agrees that Landlord may include the following factors, without in any way limiting the discretion that Landlord may apply, and without serving as an exhaustive list, as reasonable grounds for Landlord to withhold consent to any assignment or sublease (the proposed assignee, subtenant or other transferee is referred to herein as the ”Proposed Assignee”)): (a) the Proposed Assignee is unable to fulfill the terms of the Lease; (b) the financial irresponsibility, status or instability of the Proposed Assignee or the Proposed Assignee’s financial condition is inadequate to support the Lease obligations of Proposed Assignee if such assignment were completed; (c) the intended unlawful or undesirable use of the Premises by the Proposed Assignee; (d) Landlord is in negotiations with the Proposed Assignee or any of its affiliates for the direct lease of space or the Proposed Assignee, or an affiliate currently occupies space in the Project; (e) the rate that Tenant proposes to charge the Proposed Assignee is below market (provided that this clause (e) shall not apply if the Proposed Assignee is an entity in which Tenant owns at least a 10% equity interest); (f) the Proposed Assignee’s proposed use is inconsistent with the Permitted Uses, or involves the use of hazardous materials; (g) the Proposed Assignee’s character, reputation, credit history or business is of a questionable nature, the Proposed Assignee has defaulted under leases in the past or the Proposed Assignee’s character, reputation, credit history or business is not consistent with the character or quality of the Project as a first-
class office project; (h) the Proposed Assignee is either a government agency or an instrumentality of one, which intends to use the Premises for a use which has a higher density, a higher percentage of visitors, or a higher demand for parking than Tenant’s intended use; (i) intentionally blank; (j) the Proposed Assignee, or an affiliate thereof, has negotiated with Landlord during the last twelve (12) months immediately preceding Tenant’s notice to Landlord (as specified below) of the proposed assignment; and (k) Proposed Assignee does not intend to conduct business there for a substantial portion of the term of the assignment. Any sublease shall be in the form of sublease in use by Landlord at such time, if any. Any assignment, encumbrance or sublease without Landlord’s prior written consent shall be voidable, at Landlord’s election, and shall constitute a default and at the option of the Landlord shall result in a termination of this Lease. No consent to assignment, encumbrance, or sublease shall constitute a further waiver of the provisions of this section. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of Tenant’s intent to sublease, encumber or assign this Lease, and the total square footage Tenant intends to sublease, encumber and assign and Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such written notice, elect one of the following:
(a) Consent to such proposed assignment, encumbrance or sublease;
(b) Refuse such consent, which refusal shall be on reasonable grounds; or
(c) Recapture the entire or a portion of the Premises, subject to the following conditions: (1) if Tenant’s notice of intent to sublease, encumber or assign as contemplated above specifies that Tenant intends to assign or encumber the Lease or to sublease the Premises, such that the space subject to the proposed assignment, encumbrance or sublease, together with all other space subject to any assignment, encumbrance or sublease at that time is in the aggregate sixty-seven percent (67%) or more of the Premises, then Landlord shall have the right to recapture the entire Premises or such portion as Tenant intends to sublease or encumber, at Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion; or (2) if Tenant’s notice of intent to sublease, encumber or assign as contemplated above specifies that Tenant intends to sublease, together with all other space subject to any assignment, encumbrance or sublease at that time is in the aggregate less than sixty-seven percent (67%) of the Premises and if the term of such sublease (inclusive of any remaining renewal options provided thereunder) shall expire within the last 12 months of the Lease Term (inclusive of any remaining renewal options provided hereunder), then Landlord shall have the right to recapture such portion as Tenant intends to sublease, at Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion; or (3) if Tenant’s notice of intent to sublease, encumber or assign as contemplated above specified that Tenant intends to sublease, such that the space subject to the proposed assignment, encumbrance or sublease, together with all other space subject to any assignment, encumbrance or sublease at that time amounts to less than sixty-seven percent (67%) of the Premises, and the term of such sublease (inclusive of any remaining renewal options provided thereunder) shall expire prior to 12 months before the termination of this Lease (inclusive of any remaining renewal options provided hereunder), then Landlord shall not have the right to recapture. If Landlord exercises it option to recapture as provided herein, Landlord may, if it so elects, enter into a new lease for the Premises or any portion thereof with the Proposed Assignee or other third party on such terms as Landlord and the Proposed Assignee or other third party may agree; in such event, Tenant shall not be entitled to any portion of the profit, if any, which Landlord may realized on account of such recapture and reletting.
24.2 As a condition for granting its consent to any assignment, encumbrance or sublease, thirty (30) days prior to any anticipated assignment or sublease Tenant shall give Landlord and Landlord’s
lender written notice (the “Assignment Notice”), which shall set forth the name, address and business of the proposed assignee or subtenant, information (including references) concerning the character, ownership, and financial condition of the proposed assignee or subtenant, and the Assignment Date, any ownership or commercial relationship between Tenant and the proposed assignee or subtenant, and the consideration of all other material terms and conditions of the proposed assignment or sublease, all in such detail as Landlord shall reasonably require. If Landlord reasonably requests additional detail, the Assignment Notice shall not be deemed to have been received until Landlord receives such additional detail, and Landlord may withhold consent to any assignment or sublease until such additional detail is provided to it. Further, Landlord may require that the subtenant or assignee remit directly to Landlord on a monthly basis, if Tenant is in Default under this Lease, all monies due to Tenant by said assignee or subtenant.
24.3 The consent by Landlord to any assignment or subletting, or the subletting to any Affiliate of Tenant without Landlord’s consent pursuant to Section 24.6 below, shall not be construed as relieving Tenant or any assignee of this Lease or subtenant of the Premises from obtaining the express written consent of Landlord to any further assignment or subletting or as releasing Tenant or any assignee or subtenant of Tenant from any liability or obligation hereunder whether or not then accrued. In the event Landlord shall consent to an assignment or sublease, Tenant shall pay Landlord as Additional Rent all of Landlord’s attorneys’ fees and administrative costs incurred in connection with evaluating the Assignment Notice. This section shall be fully applicable to all further sales, hypothecations, transfers, assignments and subleases of any portion of the Premises by any successor or assignee of Tenant, or any subtenant of the Premises.
24.4 As used in this section, the subletting of substantially all of the Premises for substantially all of the remaining term of this Lease shall be deemed an assignment rather than a sublease. The conversion of Tenant’s capital stock issued and outstanding from a publicly-held asset to a privately-held asset shall be deemed an assignment requiring Landlord’s consent hereunder, unless the Tenant, after said transaction, has a net worth equal to or in excess of the Minimum Net Worth (as hereinafter defined). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall consent to the assignment, sale or transfer if the Assignment Notice states that Tenant desires to assign the Lease to any entity into which Tenant is merged, with which Tenant is consolidated or which acquires all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, provided that the assignee first executes, acknowledges and delivers to Landlord an agreement whereby the assignee agrees to be bound by all of the covenants and agreements in this Lease which Tenant has agreed to keep, observe or perform, that the assignee agrees that the provisions of this section shall be binding upon it as if it were the original Tenant hereunder and that the assignee shall have a net worth (determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied) immediately after such assignment which is at least equal to the net worth (as so determined) of Tenant: (1) at the Commencement Date or (2) immediately before such assignment; whichever is greater (the “Minimum Net Worth”).
24.5 Except as provided above, Landlord’s consent to any sublease shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned. A condition to such consent shall be delivery by Tenant to Landlord of a true, correct and complete copy of the sublease in the form of sublease in use by Landlord at such time. If for any proposed assignment or sublease Tenant receives rent or other consideration, either initially or over the term of the assignment or sublease, in excess of the Rent called for hereunder (as such Rent is adjusted pursuant to Article 24.1), or, in case of the sublease of a portion of the Premises, in excess of such rent fairly allocable to such portion, after appropriate adjustments to assure that all other payments called for hereunder are taken into account, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent hereunder fifty percent (50%) of the excess (after reasonable, third party out of pocket legal costs and brokerage
commissions incurred in connection with arranging such sublease have been deducted) of each such payment of rent or other consideration received by Tenant (“Bonus Rent”) promptly after its receipt; provided, however, that, with respect to and only to the first sublease or assignment entered into by Tenant pursuant to this Article 24, Tenant shall not be required to pay to Landlord as Additional Rent hereunder such Bonus Rent that the Tenant receives from such sublessee or assignee, as the case may be, for the first two (2) years of the Lease Term. Landlord’s waiver or consent to any assignment or subletting shall not relieve Tenant from any obligation under this lease. The parties intend that the preceding sentence shall not apply to any sublease rentals respecting a portion of the Premises that during the entire term of this Lease was not occupied by Tenant for its own use, but was always subleased by Tenant and/or kept vacant. For the purpose of this section, the Rent for each square foot of floor space in the Premises shall be deemed equal.
24.6 Notwithstanding anything in this Article 24 to the contrary, so long as no Event of Default has occurred hereunder:
(a) Tenant may, without Landlord’s prior consent, sublet any portion or all of the Premises to any entity in which Tenant owns at least a 51% controlling ownership interest and for which Tenant has the sole right to make day-to-day decisions (“Tenant Affiliate”) if (i) Tenant delivers a true, correct, and complete copy of the applicable sublease agreement to Landlord immediately after Tenant and Tenant Affiliate execute such sublease agreement, and (ii) Tenant and Tenant Affiliate execute Landlord’s then-current standard form of consent to sublease, and
(b) Until the date that is three (3) months after the Commencement Date of this Lease, Landlord shall consent to Tenant’s subletting the top floor of the Premises, or any portion thereof, to United Defense L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“United Defense”) if (i) Tenant delivers a true, correct and complete copy of the sublease agreement with United Defense to Landlord prior to Tenant executing such sublease agreement, (ii) in Landlord’s reasonable determination, United Defense’s intended use of the Premises, as described in such sublease or otherwise, is lawful, desirable, consistent with the Permitted Uses, and does not involve the use of hazardous materials, and (iii) Tenant and United Defense execute Landlord’s then-current standard form of consent to sublease.
ARTICLE 25
SUBORDINATION; MORTGAGEE PROTECTION
25.1 Subordination. This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to all ground leases, master leases and the lien of all mortgages and deeds of trust which now or hereafter affect the Premises or the Project or Landlord’s interest therein, the CC&Rs and all amendments thereto, all without the necessity of Tenant’s executing further instruments to effect such subordination. If requested, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord within ten (10) days after Landlord’s request reasonable documentation that may reasonably be required to further effect the provisions of this section including, without limitation, a Subordination, Nondisturbance and Attornment Agreement (“SNDA”) in such form as may be reasonably required by Landlord’s lender, provided that such SNDA must contain commercially reasonable non-disturbance protection. Should any holder of a mortgage or deed of trust request that this Lease and Tenant’s rights hereunder be made superior, rather than subordinate, to the mortgage or deed of trust, then Tenant will, within ten (10) days after written request, execute and deliver such agreement as may be required by such holder in order to effectuate and evidence such superiority of the Lease to the mortgage or deed of trust. Upon the mutual execution and delivery of this Lease, Landlord shall use diligent efforts to try to obtain from the existing lender of the Project the lender’s form SNDA.
25.2 Attornment. Tenant hereby agrees that Tenant will recognize as its landlord under this Lease and shall attorn to any person succeeding to the interest of Landlord in respect of the land and the buildings governed by this Lease upon being advised in writing of any foreclosure of any mortgage upon such land or buildings or upon being advised in writing of the execution of any deed in lieu of foreclosure in respect to such deed of trust. If requested, Tenant shall execute and deliver an instrument or instruments confirming its attornment as provided for herein, on the applicable lender’s then commercially reasonable standard form.
25.3 Mortgagee Protection. Tenant agrees to give Landlord’s lender or any holder of any mortgage or deed of trust secured by the Project, by registered or certified mail or nationally recognized overnight delivery service, a copy of any notice of default served upon the Landlord by Tenant, provided that, prior to such notice, Tenant has been notified in writing (by way of service on Tenant of a copy of assignment of rents and leases or otherwise) of the address of such lender or such holder of a mortgage or deed of trust. Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within thirty (30) days after such notice to Landlord (or if such default cannot be cured or corrected within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary if Landlord has commenced within such thirty (30) day period and is diligently pursuing the remedies or steps necessary to cure or correct such default), then Landlord’s lender or the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust shall have an additional sixty (60) days within which to cure or correct such default (or if such default cannot be cured or corrected within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary if such holder of any mortgage or deed of trust has commenced within such sixty (60) day period and is diligently pursuing the remedies or steps necessary to obtain possession of the Project or cure or correct such default). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Landlord’s lender or any holder of any mortgage or deed of trust have any obligation to cure any default of the Landlord.
ARTICLE 26
ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE
(a) Within ten (10) days following any written request which Landlord or Landlord’s lender may make from time to time, Tenant shall duly execute (and if required by Landlord or Landlord’s lender, have such signature acknowledged) and deliver to Landlord and Landlord’s lender, an estoppel certificate in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT C or such other form as Landlord, Landlord’s lender or Buyer may reasonably require. Landlord and Tenant intend that any statement delivered pursuant to this Article 26 may be relied upon by any mortgagee, beneficiary, purchaser or prospective purchaser of the Premises or Project or any interest therein.
(b) Tenant’s failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be an Event of Default hereunder and shall conclusive upon Tenant:
(i) That this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord,
(ii) That there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance,
(iii) That not more than one month’s rental has been paid in advance; and
(iv) That Tenant has no right of offset, counterclaim or deduction against Rent hereunder.
ARTICLE 27
SIGNAGE
Landlord shall provide Tenant the opportunity to have Tenant’s name on a sign on the building located at the Premises subject to Applicable Laws and regulations and to Landlord’s reasonable approval (provided that Tenant shall have no rights or defenses hereunder if Landlord is not able to obtain approvals). Tenant shall have the right to place identification signs within the interior of the Premises subject to the conditions contained herein. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to obtain the necessary consents to allow Tenant the opportunity to have Tenant’s name at Tenant’s entrance to the Premises on a monument sign and to allow Tenant the opportunity to have Tenant’s name on an identification sign located at or near the visitor parking and loading docks, in each case subject to the rights of other tenants and to Applicable Laws and regulations, and to Landlord’s reasonable approval (and provided further that Tenant shall have no rights or defenses hereunder if Landlord is not able to obtain approvals, and that Tenant shall be required to obtain approvals from governmental authorities, unless otherwise elected by Landlord). Tenant shall not display or erect any Tenant identification sign, display or other advertising material that is visible from the exterior of the Premises, unless provided for in this Article 27. The size, design, color, location and other physical aspects of any Tenant identification signs visible from the outside of the Premises shall be subject to Landlord’s written reasonable approval prior to installation. The cost of the installation of all signs, and their maintenance and removal expense, shall be at Tenant’s sole expense. If Tenant fails to maintain its sign or if Tenant fails to remove its sign upon termination of this Lease, Landlord may do so at Tenant’s expense and Tenant’s reimbursement to Landlord for such amounts shall be deemed Additional Rent. All signs (whether visible only from the interior of the Premises or outside of the Premises) shall comply with rules and regulations set forth by Landlord as may be modified from time to time and all Applicable Laws.
ARTICLE 28
RULES AND REGULATIONS
Landlord may from time to time promulgate reasonable and nondiscriminatory rules and regulations applicable to all occupants of the Project for the care and orderly management of the Project and the safety of its tenants and invitees. Such rules and regulations shall be binding upon Tenant upon delivery of a copy thereof to Tenant, and Tenant agrees to abide by such rules and regulations. A material violation by Tenant of any such rules and regulations shall constitute a Default by Tenant under this Lease. If there is a conflict between the rules and regulations and any of the provisions of this Lease, the provisions of this Lease shall prevail. Landlord shall not be responsible for the violation by any other tenant of the Project of any such rules and regulations. Tenant shall, in support of its business operations, have access to and be permitted to install multiple consumer type, receive-only, analog and digital television antennae (typical of the type used for entertainment programming from terrestrial and satellite broadcasts) on the roof of the Premises, subject to Landlord’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, so long as such antennae are not visible from the ground or other areas of the Project, or for so long as Tenant takes appropriate measures, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to block visibility of the antennae, subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval of the same.
ARTICLE 29
CONFLICT OF LAWS
This Lease shall be governed by and construed pursuant to the laws of the State of California.
ARTICLE 30
SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS
Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, all of the covenants, conditions and provisions of this Lease shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.
ARTICLE 31
SURRENDER OF PREMISES
The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger, and shall, at the option of Landlord, operate as an assignment to it of any or all subleases and subtenancies.

Landlord shall have the right to enter upon and inspect the Premises and to conduct tests, monitoring and investigations. If such tests indicate the presence of any environmental condition caused or exacerbated by Tenant or any Tenant Party or arising during Tenant’s or any Tenant Party’s occupancy (other than those caused by Landlord), Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of conducting such tests. The phrase “environmental condition” shall mean any adverse condition relating to any Hazardous Materials or the environment, including surface water, groundwater, drinking water supply, land, surface or subsurface strata or the ambient air and includes air, land and water pollutants, noise, vibration, light and odors. In the event of any such environmental condition, Tenant shall promptly take any and all steps necessary to rectify the same to the satisfaction of the applicable agencies and Landlord, or shall, at Landlord’s election, reimburse Landlord, upon demand, for the cost to Landlord of performing rectifying work.
