Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use the Common Areas in conjunction with other tenants of the Project and their invitees, subject to the limitations of such use as set forth in Article 4 and solely for the purposes for which they were designated and intended. Tenant's right to use the Common Areas shall terminate concurrently with any termination of this Lease.
2.3 Lease Commencement Date and Lease Term.

The term of the Lease shall end on the Lease Expiration Date (as set forth in Article 1), irrespective of whatever date the Lease Commencement Date is determined to be pursuant to the foregoing sentence.

ARTICLE 3
RENT, LATE CHARGES AND SECURITY DEPOSITS
3.1 Base Monthly Rent. Commencing on the Lease Commencement Date (as determined pursuant to Article 2.3 above) and continuing throughout the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord without prior demand therefor, in advance on the first day of each calendar month, as base monthly rent, the amount set forth as "Base Monthly Rent" in Article 1 ("Base Monthly Rent").
3.2 Additional Rent. Commencing on the Lease Commencement Date (as determined pursuant to Article 2.3 above) and continuing throughout the Lease Term, in addition to the Base Monthly Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent (the "Additional Rent") the following amounts:
- An amount equal to all Property Operating Expenses (as defined in Article 13) incurred by Landlord. Payments shall be made by whichever of the following methods (or combination of methods) is (are) from time to time designed by Landlord:
- Landlord may xxxx to Tenant, on a periodic basis not more frequently than monthly, the amount of such expenses (or group of expenses) as paid or incurred by Landlord, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of such expenses within ten days after receipt of a written xxxx therefore from Landlord; and/or
- Landlord may deliver to Tenant Landlord's reasonable estimate of any given expense (such as Landlord's Insurance Costs or Real Property Taxes), or group of expenses, which it anticipates will be paid or incurred for the ensuing calendar or fiscal year, as Landlord may determine, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to the estimated amount of such expenses for such year in equal monthly, installments during such year with the installments or Base Monthly Rent.
- Landlord reserves the right to change from time to time the methods of billing Tenant for any given expense or group of expenses or the period basis on which such expenses are billed.
- Landlord's share of the consideration received by Tenant upon certain assignments and sublettings as required by Article 7.
- Any legal fees and costs that Tenant is obligated to pay or reimburse to Landlord pursuant to Article 13; and
- Any other charges or reimbursements due Landlord from Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease other than late charges and interest on a defaulted rent.
3.3 Year-End Adjustments. If Landlord shall have elected to xxxx Tenant for the Property Operating Expenses (or any group of such expenses) on an estimated basis in accordance with the provisions of Article 3.2A(2) above, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant within three months following the end of the applicable calendar or fiscal year, as the case may be, a statement setting forth (i) the amount of such expenses paid or incurred during the just ended calendar or fiscal year, as appropriate, and (ii) the amount that Tenant has paid to Landlord for credit against such expenses for such period. If Tenant shall have paid more than its obligation for such expenses for the stated period. Landlord shall, at its election, either (i) credit the amount of such overpayment toward the next ensuing payment or payments of Additional Rent that would otherwise be due or (ii) refund in cash to Tenant the amount of such overpayment. If such year-end statement shall show that Tenant did not pay its obligation for such expenses in full, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of such underpayment within ten days from Landlord's billing of same to Tenant. The provisions of this Article shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.
3.4 Late Charge and Interest on Rent in Default. Tenant acknowledges that the late payment by Tenant of any monthly installment of Base Monthly Rent or any Additional Rent will cause Landlord to incur certain costs and expense not contemplated under this Lease, the exact amounts of which are extremely difficult or impractical to fix. Such costs and expenses will include, without limitation, administration and collection costs and processing and accounting expenses. Therefore, if any installment of Base Monthly Rent is not received by Landlord from Tenant within six calendar days after Tenant's receipt of written notice from Landlord that the same becomes due, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord a late charge in an amount equal to the amount set forth in Article 1 as the "Late Charge Amount," and if any Additional Rent is not received by Landlord within ten calendar days after same Tenant's receipt of written notice from Landlord that becomes due, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord a late charge in an amount equal to five percent of the Additional Rent not so paid. Landlord and Tenant agree that this late charge represents a reasonable estimate of such costs and expenses and is fair compensation to Landlord for the anticipated loss Landlord would suffer by reason of Tenant's failure to make timely payment. In no event shall this provision for a late charge be deemed to grant to Tenant a grace period or extension of time within to pay any rental installment or prevent Landlord from exercising any right or remedy available to Landlord upon Tenant's failure to pay each rental installment due under this Lease when due, including the right to terminate this Lease. If any rent remains delinquent for a period in excess of twenty calendar days, then, in addition to such late charge, Tenant shall pay to Landlord interest on any rent that is not so paid from said twentieth day at the then maximum rate of interest not prohibited or made usurious by Law until paid.
3.5 Payment of Rent. All rent shall be paid in lawful money of the United States, without any abatement, reduction or offset for any reason whatsoever, to Landlord at such address as Landlord may designate from time to time. Tenant's obligation to pay Base Monthly Rent and all Additional Rent shall be appropriately prorated at the commencement and expiration of the Lease Term. The failure by Tenant to pay any Additional Rent as required pursuant to this Lease when due shall be treated the same as a failure by Tenant to pay Base Monthly Rent when due, and Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies against Tenant as Landlord would have if Tenant failed to pay the Base Monthly Rent when due.
3.6 Prepaid Rent. Concurrent with the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount set forth in Article 1 as "First Month's Prepaid Rent" as prepayment of rent or credit against the first installment(s) of Base Monthly Rent due hereunder. Additionally, Tenant has paid to Landlord the amount set forth in Article 1 as "Last Month's Prepaid Rent" as prepayment of rent for credit against the last installment(s) of Base Monthly Rent due hereunder, subject, however, to the provisions of Article 3.7 below.
3.7 Security Deposit. Concurrent with the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the amount set forth in Article 1 as the "Security Deposit" as security for the performance by Tenant of the terms of this Lease to be performed by Tenant, and not as prepayment of rent, Landlord may apply such portion or portions of the Security Deposit as are reasonably necessary for the following purposes: (i) to remedy any default by Tenant, in the payment of Base Monthly Rent or Additional Rent or a late charge or interest on defaulted rent; (ii) to repair damage to the Leased Premises, the Building or the Outside Areas caused by Tenant; (iii) to clean and repair the Leased Premises, the Building or the Outside Areas following their surrender to Landlord if not surrendered in the condition required pursuant to the provisions of Article 2; and (iv) to remedy any other default of Tenant to the extent permitted by Law, including, without limitation, paying in full on Tenant's behalf any sums claimed by materialmen or contractors of Tenant to be owing to them by Tenant for work done or improvements made at Tenant's request to the Leased Premises. In this regard, Tenant hereby waives any restriction on the uses to which the Security Deposit may be applied as contained in Section 1950.7(c) of the California Civil Code and/or any successor statute. In the event the Security Deposit or any portion thereof is so used, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, promptly upon demand, an amount in cash sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the full original sum. If Tenant fails to promptly restore the Security Deposit and if Tenant shall have paid to Landlord any sums as "Last Month's Prepaid Rent," Landlord may, in addition to any other remedy Landlord may have under this Lease, reduce the amount of Tenant's Last Month's Prepaid Rent by transferring all or portions of such Last Month's Prepaid Rent to Tenant's Security Deposit until such Security Deposit is restored to the amount set forth in Article 1. Landlord shall not be deemed a trustee of the Security Deposit. Landlord may use the Security Deposit in Landlord's ordinary business and shall not be required to segregate it from its general accounts. Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest on the Security Deposit. If Landlord transfers the Building or the Property during the Lease Term, Landlord may pay the Security Deposit to any subsequent owner in conformity with the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code and/or any successor statute, in which event the transferring landlord shall be released from all liability for the return of the Security Deposit. Tenant specifically grants to Landlord (and Tenant hereby waives the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1950.7 to the contrary) a period of sixty days following a surrender of the Leased Premises by Tenant to Landlord within which to return the Security Deposit (less permitted deductions) to Tenant, it being agreed between Landlord and Tenant that sixty days is a reasonable period of time within which to inspect the Leased Premises, make required repairs, receive and verify workmen's xxxxxxxx therefor, and prepare a final accounting with respect to such deposit. In no event shall the Security Deposit, or any portion thereof, be considered prepaid rent.

If Tenant shall desire to assign its interest under this Lease or to sublet the Leased Premises, Tenant must first notify Landlord, in writing, of its intent to so assign or sublet, at least 20 days in advance of the date it intends to so assign its interest in this Lease or sublet the Leased Premises but not sooner than one hundred eighty days in advance of such date, specifying in detail the terms of such proposed assignment or subletting, including the name of the proposed assignee or subleasee, the proposed assignee's or subleasee's intended use of the Leased Premises, a current financial statement of such proposed assignee or subleasee and the form of documents to be used in effectuating such assignment or subletting.

It shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to any proposed assignment or subletting if (i) the proposed assignee's or subtenant's anticipated use of the Premises involves the storage, use or disposal of a Hazardous Material; (ii) if the proposed assignee or subtenant has been required by any prior landlord, lender or governmental authority to clean up Hazardous Materials unlawfully discharged by the proposed assignee or subtenant; or (iii) if the proposed assignee or subtenant is subject to investigation or enforcement order or proceeding by any governmental authority in connection with the unlawful use, disposal or storage of a Hazardous Material. During said fifteen day period, Tenant covenants and agrees to supply to Landlord, upon request, all necessary or relevant information which Landlord may reasonably request respecting such proposed assignment or subletting and/or the proposed assignee or subleasee.
7.4 Conditions to Landlord's Consent. If Landlord elects to consent, or shall have been ordered to so consent by a court of competent jurisdiction, to such requested assignment, subletting or encumbrance, such consent shall be expressly conditioned upon the occurrence of each of the conditions below set forth and any purported assignment, subletting or encumbrance made or ordered prior to the full and complete satisfaction of each of the following conditions shall be void and, at the election of Landlord, which election may be exercised at any time following such a purported assignment, subletting or encumbrance but prior to the satisfaction of each of the stated conditions, shall constitute a material default by Tenant under this Lease until cured by satisfying in full each such condition by the assignee, subleases or encumbrances. The conditions are as follows.
- Landlord having approved in form and substance the assignment or sublease agreement (or the encumbrance agreement), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld by Landlord if the requirements of this Article 7 are otherwise complied with.
- Each such subleasee or assignee having agreed, in writing satisfactory to Landlord and its counsel and for the benefit of Landlord, to assume, to be bound by, and to perform the obligations of this Lease to be performed by Tenant (or, in the case of an encumbrance, each such encumbrancer having similarly agreed to assume, be bound by and to perform Tenant's obligations upon a foreclosure or transfer in lieu thereof).
- Tenant having fully and completely performed all of its obligations under the terms of this Lease as of the date of such assignment or subletting.
- Tenant having reimbursed to Landlord all reasonable costs and atorneys' fees incurred by Landlord in conjunction with the processing and documentation of any such requested subletting assignment or encumbrance.
- Tenant having delivered to Landlord a complete and fully-executed duplicate original of such sublease agreement, assignment agreement or encumbrance (as applicable) and all related agreements.
- Tenant having paid, or having agreed in writing to pay as to future payments, to Landlord 50 percent of all assignment consideration or excess rentals to be paid to Tenant or to any other on Tenant's behalf or for Tenant's benefit for such assignment or subletting as follows:
- If Tenant assigns its interest under this Lease and if all or a portion of the consideration for such assignment is to be paid by the assignee at the time of the assignment, that Tenant shall have paid to Landlord and Landlord shall have received an amount equal to 50 percent of the assignment consideration so paid or to be paid (whichever is the greater) at the time of the assignment by the assignee; or
- If Tenant assigns its interest under this Lease and if Tenant is to receive all or a portion of the consideration for such assignment in future installments, that Tenant and Tenant's assignee shall have entered into a written agreement with and for the benefit of Landlord satisfactory to Landlord and its counsel whereby Tenant and Tenant's assignee jointly agree to pay to Landlord an amount equal to 50 percent of all such future assignment consideration installments to be paid by such assignee as and when such assignment consideration is so paid.
- If Tenant subleases the Leased Premises, that Tenant and Tenant's subleasee shall have entered into a written agreement with and for the benefit of Landlord satisfactory to Landlord and its counsel whereby Tenant and Tenant's subleasee jointly agree to pay to Landlord 50 percent of all excess rentals to be paid by such subleases as and when such excess rentals are so paid.
7.5 Assignment Consideration and Excess Rentals Defined. For purposes of the Article, the term "assignment consideration" shall mean all consideration to be paid by the assignee to Tenant or to any other on Tenant's behalf or for Tenant's benefit as consideration for such assignment, less any commissions paid by Tenant to a licensed real estate broker for arranging such assignment (not to exceed then standard rates), and the term "excess rentals" shall mean all consideration to be paid by the subleases to Tenant or to any other on Tenant's behalf or for Tenant's benefit for the sublease of the Leased Premises in excess of the rent due to Landlord under the terms of this Lease for the same period, less any commissions paid by Tenant to a licensed real estate broker for arranging such sublease (not to exceed then standard rates) and the cost of improvements made to the subleased premises by Tenant at its expense for the purpose of subleasing. Tenant agrees that the portion of any assignment consideration and/or excess rentals arising from any assignment or subletting by Tenant which is to be paid to Landlord pursuant to this Article now is and shall then be the property of Landlord and not the property of Tenant.
7.6 Payments. All payments required by this Article to be made to Landlord shall be made in cash in full as and when they become due. At the time Tenant, Tenant's assignee or subleases makes each such payment to Landlord, Tenant or Tenant's assignee or subleases, as the case may be, shall deliver to Landlord an itemized statement in reasonable detail showing the method by which the amount due Landlord was calculated and certified by the party making such payment as true and correct.
7.7 Good Faith. The rights granted to Tenant by this Article are granted in consideration of Tenant's express covenant that all pertinent allocations which are made by Tenant between the rental value of the Leased Premises and the value of any of Tenant's personal property which may be conveyed or leased generally concurrently with and which may reasonably be considered a part of the same transaction as the permitted assignment or subletting shall be made fairly, honestly and in good faith.
7.8 Effect of Landlord's Consent. No subletting, assignment or encumbrance, even with the consent of Landlord, shall relieve Tenant of its personal and primary obligation to pay rent and to perform all of the obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. Consent by Landlord to one or more assignments or encumbrances of Tenant's interest in this Lease or to one or more sublettings of the Leased Premises shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment, encumbrance or subletting. If Landlord shall have been ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction to consent to a requested assignment or subletting, or such an assignment or subletting shall have been ordered over the objection of Landlord, such assignment or subletting shall not be binding between the assignee (or subleases) and Landlord until such time as all conditions set forth in Article 7.3 above have been fully satisfied (to the extent not then satisfied) by the assignee or subleases, including, without limitation, the payment to Landlord of all agreed assignment consideration and/or excess rentals then due Landlord.

In the event of Landlord's default as above set forth, then, and only then, Tenant shall have the following remedies only:
- Tenant may then proceed in equity or at law to compel Landlord to perform its obligations and/or to recover damages proximately caused by such failure to perform (except as and to the extent Tenant has waived its right to damages as provided in this Lease).

If, pursuant to this Subarticle, Tenant reasonably pays any sum to any third party or does any act that requires the payment of any sum to any third party at any time by reason of Landlord's default, the sum paid by, Tenant shall be immediately due from Landlord to Tenant at the time Tenant supplies Landlord with an invoice therefor (provided such invoice sets forth and is accompanied by a written statement of Tenant setting forth in reasonable detail the amount paid, the party to whom it was paid, the date it was paid, and the reasons giving rise to such payment), together with interest at twelve percent per annum from the date of such invoice until Tenant is reimbursed by Landlord. Tenant may not offset such sums against any installment of rent due Landlord under the terms of this Lease.
12.4 Limitation on Tenant's Recourse. If Landlord is a corporation, trust, partnership, joint venture, unincorporated association, or other form of business entity, Tenant agrees that (i) the obligations of Landlord under this Lease shall not constitute personal obligations of the officers, directors, trustees, partners, joint venturers, members, owners, stockholders, or other principals of such business entity and (ii) Tenant shall have recourse only to the assets of such business entity for the satisfaction of such obligations and not against the assets of such officers, directors, trustees, partners, joint venturers, members, owners, stockholders or principals (other than to the extent of their interest in the assets owned by such business entity). Additionally, if Landlord is a partnership, then Tenant covenants and agrees:

- No writ of execution will ever be levied against the assets of any partner of Landlord other than to the extent of his interest in the assets of the partnership.
Tenant further agrees that each of the foregoing covenants and agreements shall be enforceable by Landlord and by any partner of Landlord and shall be applicable to any actual or alleged misrepresentation or nondisclosure made respecting this Lease or the Leased Premises or any factual or alleged failure, default or breach of any covenant or agreement either expressly or implicitly contained in this Lease or imposed by statue or at common law.
12.5 Tenant's Waiver. Landlord and Tenant agree that the provisions of Article 12.3 above are intended to supersede and replace the provisions of California Civil Code Sections 1932(l), 1941 and 1942, and accordingly, Tenant hereby waives the provisions of California Civil Code Sections 1932(l), 1941 and 1942 and/or any similar or successor Law regarding Tenant's right to terminate this Lease or to make repairs and deduct the expenses of such repairs from the rent due under this Lease.
ARTICLE 13
GENERAL PROVISIONS
13.1 Taxes on Tenant's Property. Tenant shall pay before delinquency any and all taxes, assessments, license fees, use fees, permit fees and public charges of whatever nature or description levied, assessed or imposed against Tenant or Landlord by a governmental agency arising out of, cause by reason of or based upon Tenant's estate in this Lease, Tenant's ownership of property, improvements made by Tenant to the Leased Premises or the Outside Areas, improvements made by Landlord for Tenant's use within the Leased Premises or the Outside Areas, Tenant's use (or estimated use) of public facilities or services or Tenant's consumption (or estimated consumption) of public utilities, energy, water or other resources. Upon demand by Landlord, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with satisfactory evidence of these payments. If any such taxes, assessments, fees or public charges are levied against Landlord, Landlord's property, the Building or the Property, or if the assessed value of the Building or the Property is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon same, then Landlord, after giving written notice to Tenant, shall have the right to pay such taxes, assessment, fee or public charge and xxxx Tenant, as Additional Rent, the amount of such taxes, assessment, fee or public charge so paid on Tenant's behalf. Tenant shall, within ten days from the date it receives an Invoice from Landlord setting forth the amount of such taxes, assessment, fee or public charge so levied, pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the amount set forth in said invoice. Failure by Tenant to pay the amount so invoiced within said ten day period shall be conclusively deemed a default by Tenant under this Lease. Tenant shall have the right, and the Landlord's full cooperation to bring suit in any court of competent jurisdiction to recover from the taxing authority the amount of any such taxes, assessment, fee or public charge so paid.
13.2 Holding Over. This Lease shall terminate without further notice on the Lease Expiration Date (as set forth in Article 1). Any holding over by Tenant after expiration of the Lease Term shall neither constitute a renewal nor extension of this Lease nor give Tenant any rights in or to the Leased Premises except as expressly provided in this Article. Any such holding over shall be deemed an unlawful detainer of the Leased Premises unless Landlord has consented to same. Any such holding over to which Landlord has consented shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month, on the same terms and conditions herein specified insofar as applicable, except that the Base Monthly Rent shall be increased to an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent of the Base Monthly Rent payable during the last full month immediately preceding such holding over.
13.3 Subordination to Mortgages. Subject to Tenant's receiving a Nondisturbance agreement reasonably acceptable to Tenant, this Lease is subject to and subordinate to all underlying ground leases, mortgages and deeds of trust which affect the Building or the Property and which are of public record as of the Effective Date of this Lease, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. However, if the lessor under any such ground lease or any lender holding any such mortgage or deed of trust shall advise Landlord that it desires or requires this Lease to be made prior and superior thereto, then, upon written request of Landlord to Tenant, Tenant shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all documents or instruments which Landlord and such lessor or lender deem necessary or desirable to make this Lease prior thereto. Tenant hereby consents to Landlord's ground leasing the land underlying the Building or the Property and/or encumbering the Building or the Property as security for future loans on such terms as Landlord shall desire, all of which future ground leases, mortgages or deeds of trust shall be subject to and subordinate to this Lease. However, if any lessor under any such future ground lease or any lender holding such future mortgage or deed of trust shall desire or require that this Lease be made subject to and subordinate to such future ground lease, mortgage or deed of trust, then Tenant agrees, within ten days after Landlord's written request therefor, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord any and all documents or instruments reasonably requested by Landlord or by such lessor or lender as may be necessary or proper to assure the subordination of this Lease to such future ground lease, mortgage or deed of trust, but only if such lessor or lender delivers a non disturbance agreement to Tenant in a form reasonably acceptable to Tenant, agrees to recognize Tenant's rights under this Lease and agrees not to disturb Tenant's quiet possession of the Leased Premises so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease.
13.4 Tenant's Attornment Upon Foreclosure. Tenant shall, upon request, attorn (i) to any purchaser of the Building or the Property at any foreclosure sale or private sale conducted pursuant to any security instrument encumbering the Building of the Property, (ii) to any grantee or transferee designated in any deed given in lieu of foreclosure of any security interest encumbering the Building or the Property, or (iii) to the lessor under any underlying ground lease of the land underlying the Building or the Property, should such ground lease be terminated, provided that such purchaser, grantee or lessor recognizes Tenant's rights under this Lease.
13.5 Mortgagee Protection. In the event of any default on the part of Landlord, Tenant will give notice by registered mail to any Lender or lessor under any underlying ground lease who shall have requested, in writing, to Tenant that it be provided with such notice, and Tenant shall offer such Lender or lessor a reasonable opportunity to cure the default, including time to obtain possession of the Leased Premises by power of sale or judicial foreclosure or other appropriate legal proceedings if reasonably necessary to effect a cure.
13.6 Estoppel Certificates. Tenant will, following any request by Landlord, promptly execute and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect, (ii) stating the date to which the rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, (iii) acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant's knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed, and (iv) certifying such other information about this Lease as may be reasonably requested by Landlord, its Lender or prospective lenders, investor or purchaser of the Building or the Property. Tenant's failure to execute and deliver such estoppel certificate within ten days after Landlord's request therefore shall be a material default by Tenant under this Lease, and Landlord shall have all of the rights and remedies available to Landlord as Landlord would otherwise have in the case of any other material default by Tenant, including the right to terminate this Lease and xxx for damages proximately caused thereby, it being agreed and understood by Tenant that Tenant's failure to so deliver such estoppel certificate in a timely manner could result in Landlord being unable to perform committed obligations to other third parties which were made by Landlord in reliance upon this covenant of Tenant. Landlord and Tenant intend that any statement delivered pursuant to this Article may be relied upon by any Lender or purchaser or prospective Lender or purchaser of the Building, the Property, or any interest herein.
13.7 Tenant's Financial Information. Tenant shall, within five business days after Landlord's request therefore deliver to Landlord a copy of a current financial statement including an income statement for the most recent twelve month period and a balance sheet and any such other information reasonably requested by Landlord regarding Tenant's financial condition. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord is relying upon the financial information provided to Landlord by Tenant prior to entering into this lease and the information to be provided to Landlord by Tenant during the term of this Lease. Landlord shall be entitled to disclose such financial statements or other information to its Lender, to any present or prospective principal of or investor in Landlord, or to any prospective Lender or purchaser of the Building, the Property or any portion thereof or interest therein. Any such financial statement or other information which is marked "confidential" or "company secrets" (or is otherwise similarly marked by Tenant) shall be confidential and shall not be disclosed by Landlord to any third party except as specifically provided in this Article, unless the same becomes a part of the public domain without the fault of Landlord.
13.8 Transfer by Landlord. Landlord and its successor in interest shall have the right to transfer their interest in the Building, the Property, or any portion thereof at any time and to any person or entity. In the event of any such transfer provided that the transferee recognizes all rights of Tenant and assumes all obligations of Landlord under the Lease, the Landlord originally named herein (and in the case of any subsequent transfer, the transferor), from the date of such transfer, (i) shall be automatically relieved, without any further act by any person or entity, of all liability for the performance of the obligations of the Landlord hereunder which may accrue after the date of such transfer and (ii) shall be relieved of all liability for the performance of the obligations of the Landlord hereunder which have accrued before the date of transfer if its transferee agrees to assume and perform all such prior obligations of the Landlord hereunder. Tenant shall attorn to any such transferee provided the transferee recognizes all rights of Tenant and assumes obligations of Landlord under this Lease. After the date of any such transfer, the term "Landlord" as used herein shall mean the transferee of such interest in the Building or the Property.
13.9 Force Majeure. The obligations of each of the parties under this Lease (other than the obligations to pay money) shall be temporarily excused if such party is prevented or delayed in performing such obligation by reason of any strikes, lockouts or labor disputes; inability to obtain labor, materials, fuels or reasonable substitutes therefore; governmental restrictions, regulations, controls, action or inaction; civil commotion; inclement weather, fire or other acts of God; or other causes (except financial inability) beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform (including acts or omissions of the other party) for a period equal to the period of any such prevention, delay or stoppage.

Any notice required to desired to be given by a party regarding this Lease shall be in writing and shall be personally served, or in lieu of personal service may be given by (i) delivery by Federal Express, United Parcel Service or similar commercial carrier, (ii) electronic fax transmission, or (iii) depositing such notice in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the other party as follows:
- If addressed to Landlord, to Landlord at its Address for Notices (as set forth in Article 1).
- If addressed to Tenant, to Tenant at its Address for Notices (as set forth in Article 1). Any notice given by registered mail shall be deemed to have been given on the third business day after its deposit in the United States mail.
Any notice given by registered mail shall be deemed given on the date receipt was acknowledged to the postal authorities. Any notice given by mail other than registered or certified mail shall be deemed given only if received by other party, and then on the date of receipt. Any notice delivered by commercial carrier or by fax shall be deemed given on the date of confirmation of delivery by the carrier or by electronic confirmation. Each party may, by written notice to the other in the manner aforesaid, change the address to which notices addressed to it shall thereafter by mailed.
13.11 Attorneys' Fees. In the event any party shall bring any action, arbitration proceeding or legal proceeding alleging a breach of any provision of this Lease, to recover rent, to terminate this Lease, or to enforce, protect, determine or establish any term or covenant of this Lease or rights or duties hereunder of either party, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the non- prevailing party as a part of such action or proceeding, or in a separate action for that purpose brought within one year from the determination of such proceeding, reasonable attorneys' fees, expert witness fees, court costs and other reasonable expenses incurred by the prevailing party.
13.12 Definitions. Any term that is given a special meaning by any provision in this Lease shall, unless otherwise specifically stated, have such meaning whenever used in this Lease or in any Addenda or amendment hereto. In addition to the terms defined in Article 1, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

Upon Lease termination Tenant's obligation to repair or replace mechanical systems shall be limited to repairing or replacing the individual components of said systems rather than to replace an entire system unless the cost to replace the entire system is less than the cost to replace the required components of the system
Tenant shall pay the cost of any damage or excessive wear to the Leased Premises, Building, Outside Areas, and/or Property, including, without limitation, the trees, shrubs, plants, lawn, ground cover, and paved surfaces.
Tenant may either perform the foregoing ("General Surrender Work") itself or require Landlord to perform said General Surrender Work. In the event that Landlord performs the General Surrender Work Landlord shall do so in the shortest reasonable time period and, Tenant shall pay the reasonable cost of said General Surrender Work and Tenant shall continue to pay Base Monthly Rent and Additional Rent in accordance with Section 13.2 (Holding Over) until the General Surrender Work is completed even if the Lease has expired or terminated (and the same shall be considered a holdover). Similarly, if Tenant performs such work itself and the Leased Premises are not surrendered to Landlord in the condition required by this Article at the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall be deemed to have impermissibly held over until such time as such required work is completed, and Tenant shall pay Base Monthly Rent and Additional Rent in accordance with the terms of Section 13.2 (Holding Over) until such work is completed. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against loss or liability resulting from delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Leased Premises, including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant or any losses to Landlord due to lost opportunities to lease to succeeding tenants.
Restoration to Condition as of March 7, 2003
In addition, Tenant shall pay the cost to return the Building (and the Outside Areas, and/or the Property) to the condition existing on March 7, 2003 ("Xxxxxxx Restoration Obligation"), which is the date of the sublease consent between Landlord, Tenant (as sublessee) and Xxx (Tenant's predecessor). It is acknowledged that such obligation is being undertaken as a direct obligation of Tenant to Landlord as an inducement for Landlord to enter into the Xxx Restoration Agreement and, in turn, the Lease and this Addendum. It is further acknowledged and agreed that the Xxx Restoration Obligation is completely independent of the Xxxxxxx Restoration Obligation, and vice versa, and it is irrelevant as to what alterations or restoration the Landlord actually desires and/or is actually performed. It is specifically agreed that in determining the amount of the Xxxxxxx Restoration Cost, below, no consideration has been given to any work that should have been performed by Xxx or any compensation paid by Xxx to Renco in lieu of such work, and the Xxxxxxx Restoration Cost has been determined solely with reference to restoring the Building and Property to the exact condition existing on March 7, 2003, including all walls, floor coverings, ceilings, HVAC, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and similar systems then existing.
Xxxxxxx Restoration Cost
The initial cost of the Xxxxxxx Restoration Obligation ("Xxxxxxx Restoration Cost") shall be One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars and no cents ($1,500,000.00), as adjusted from time to time in accordance with the terms of the paragraphs entitled "Further Work" and "Cost Escalations" below and Section 6.1 below.
Further Work
Subject to Section 6.1 of this First Addendum, prior to Tenant performing any work in the Building (or in the Outside Areas, and/or the Property) after the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall provide Landlord with plans for said work and Landlord and Tenant shall agree on the incremental cost increase of meeting the Xxxxxxx Restoration Obligation, if any, that such additional work shall cause, and such incremental cost increase shall be added to the Xxxxxxx Restoration Cost.
Cost Escalations
Starting as of the date of this Lease The Xxxxxxx Restoration Cost shall be increased by the increase in the Consumer Price Index (hereinafter referred to as the "Index"), All Urban Consumers, San Francisco-Oakland Metropolitan Area, All Items (1967 equals 100), as published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, as such Index was revised effective January, 1987. If the Xxxxxxx Restoration Cost is changed over time (due to additional alterations, etc.), the Consumer Price Index increase shall be calculated to the date of such change in the Xxxxxxx Restoration Cost so that such adjusted Xxxxxxx Restoration Cost will be subject to this Consumer Price Index clause in order to obtain the accurate total cost from the date of the determination of such cost to the date of the eventual payment upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, as set forth herein. At the expiration of the term of this Lease Tenant shall pay to landlord the total Xxxxxxx Restoration Cost, as adjusted.
Performance of Work/Payment in Lieu of Work
Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Landlord shall have the option of (a) requiring Tenant to pay all or a portion of the Xxxxxxx Restoration Cost to Landlord, in lieu of the full restoration, and paying the balance directly to a contractor selected by Landlord to perform the balance of the Xxxxxxx Restoration Obligation or (b) paying all of the Xxxxxxx Restoration Cost to Landlord in lieu of the restoration. If Landlord selects option (a) above, Tenants sole obligation as to the Xxxxxxx Restoration Obligation shall be to pay the funds to the contractor selected by Landlord for the restoration work and Landlord shall be responsible for any charges of such contractor above such payment.
Letter of Credit
Prior to the execution of the Lease, Tenant shall provide to Landlord a letter of credit ("Letter of Credit") in the form attached to the Lease as Exhibit E to secure payment of the Xxxxxxx Restoration Cost. The amount of the letter of credit shall initially be One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars and no cents ($1,500,000.00). Such amount shall be changed to be equal to the actual Xxxxxxx Restoration Cost, and shall be increased from time to time to equal the then actual Xxxxxxx Restoration Cost ("LC Amount"). An amended or new Letter of Credit shall be issued and delivered to Landlord within twenty days of any change in the actual Xxxxxxx Restoration Cost and conditioned on Landlord returning to Tenant the prior Letter of Credit in exchange for the amended or new Letter of Credit.
The Letter of Credit shall be (i) at sight and irrevocable and unconditional, (ii) subject to the terms of this Addendum, maintained in effect, whether through replacement, renewal or extension, for the period from the Commencement Date of the Lease and continuing until the Xxxxxxx Restoration Cost is paid to Landlord (the "Letter of Credit Expiration Date"). If the Letter of Credit is to expire and not be automatically renewed, Tenant shall deliver a new Letter of Credit or certificate of renewal or extension to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Letter of Credit, without any action whatsoever on the part of Landlord until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date. Tenant further covenants and warrants that it will neither assign nor encumber the Letter of Credit or any part thereof and that neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns will be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance. If Tenant fails to maintain the Letter of Credit in the amount and in accordance with the terms set forth in this Addendum or fails to comply with the Xxxxxxx Restoration Obligation, as set forth above, Landlord shall have the right to present such Letter of Credit to the bank in accordance with the terms of this Addendum, and the entire sum evidenced thereby shall be paid to and held by Landlord as collateral for performance of Tenant's obligations to pay to Landlord the Xxxxxxx Restoration Cost upon Lease termination.
No condition or term of this Lease shall be deemed to render the Letter of Credit conditional to justify the issuer of the Letter of Credit in failing to honor a drawing upon such Letter of Credit in a timely manner.
Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that in no event or circumstance shall the Letter of Credit or any renewal thereof or substitute therefor be (a) deemed to be or treated as a "security deposit" within the meaning of California Civil Code Section 1950.7 (as supplemented, amended, replaced and substituted from time to time), (b) subject to the terms of such Section 1950.7 (as supplemented, amended, replaced and substituted from time to time), or (c) intended to serve as a "security deposit" within the meaning of such Section 1950.7 (as supplemented, amended, replaced and substituted from time to time). The parties hereto (x) recite that the Letter of Credit is not intended to serve as a security deposit and such Section 1950.7 (as supplemented, amended, replaced and substituted from time to time), and any and all other laws, rules and regulations applicable to security deposits in the commercial context ("Security Deposit Laws") shall have no applicability or relevancy thereto and (y) waive any and all rights, duties and obligations either party may now or, in the future, will have relating to or arising from the Security Deposit Laws.
Section 4.7
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall not be required to make or pay for (through Property Operating Expenses or otherwise) (i) structural alterations to the building or (ii) other changes which would materially interfere with Tenant's use and enjoyment of the Leased Premises and the conduct of Tenant's business in order to comply with any of the foregoing Laws and Private Restrictions. Landlord represents and warrants to the best of its knowledge that as of the date Landlord executes the Lease, the Leased Premises, the Building, the Outside Areas and the Property comply with all Private Restrictions, laws, ordinances, orders, rules and regulations promulgated by any state, federal, municipality or other agency or body having or claiming jurisdiction thereof and Landlord shall pay for all costs (if any) required to bring the Property into compliance with all Private Restrictions, laws, ordinances, orders, rules and regulations promulgated by any state, federal, or local authorities in effect as of the date Landlord executes the Lease. This representation and warranty, and Landlord's obligations hereunder are limited to improvements constructed by Landlord, its affiliates, or contractors. Landlord hereby represents to tenant that Landlord has received no notice from any public agency regarding any violation of any Private Restrictions, laws, ordinances, orders, rules and regulations promulgated by any state, federal, municipality or other agency or body having or claiming jurisdiction thereof and is unaware of any such violation.
This representation and warranty (and any similar representation or warranty in this Lease) shall pertain only to work actually performed by Landlord or contractors employed by Landlord and shall not apply to any work performed by Tenant as a subtenant in the Building prior to the execution of this Lease or any work performed by Tenant's predecessor, Xxx Research Corporation. The parties acknowledge that Tenant has occupied the Building since March 7, 2003.
Section 4.8
Landlord represents and warrants to the best of its knowledge, that as of the date Landlord executes the Lease, the Leased Premises, Building and Property and all existing tenant improvements therein comply with the building codes of the governing authorities and with the regulations of Landlord's insurance carrier as of the date of construction was completed. This representation and warranty is limited to the improvements constructed by Landlord and its contractors. In the event that this warranty is not correct, Landlord shall correct any defect at its sole cost.
This representation and warranty (and any similar representation or warranty in this Lease) shall pertain only to work actually performed by Landlord or contractors employed by Landlord and shall not apply to any work performed by Tenant as a subtenant in the Building prior to the execution of this Lease or any work performed by Tenant's predecessor, Xxx Research Corporation. The parties acknowledge that Tenant has occupied the Building since March 7, 2003.
Section 4.14

Landlord acknowledges and agrees to Tenant's current use of the Hazardous Materials (and in the quantities) set forth on Exhibit B, attached hereto. Tenant represents and warrants that it has all required approvals to use such Hazardous Materials and shall provide Landlord evidence of such approvals within five (5) days of the execution of the Lease.

Except as may be otherwise expressly set forth in the Lease or this Addendum for casualty losses, Landlord shall, at Landlord's cost during the term of this Lease, repair the structural portions of the building which include the footings, concrete floor, concrete walls, columns, and roof (other than routine maintenance and repair costs and the cost to replace the roof membrane which are governed by Section 13.12.C), (provided however that Tenant shall pay the cost to repair any damage caused by Tenant, and normal maintenance expenses such as painting). In addition, Landlord at its expense shall be obligated to repair damage attributable to "Latent Defects". A "Latent Defect" shall mean a defect in construction or operation that impairs the utility of the defective system or portion of the Building, Leased Premises, Outside Area, or Property for the purpose that it was constructed, provided however, that a Latent Defect shall not include a defect which has not caused substantial and material damage to the Building, Leased Premises, Outside Area, or Property. Tenant hereby acknowledges that it is unaware of any "latent defects" and that tenant has occupied the property since March 7, 2003. This obligation of Landlord shall pertain only to work actually performed by Landlord or contractors employed by Landlord and shall not apply to any work performed by Tenant or any work performed by Tenant's predecessor, Xxx Research Corporation. The parties acknowledge that Tenant has occupied the Building since March 7, 2003.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant's obligation to repair (or pay the costs thereof) shall not extend to (1) damage and repairs due to casualty which Landlord is required to insure against provided that Tenant shall pay any insurance deductible amounts as required pursuant to the terms of this Lease, (2) damage caused in whole or in part by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord's agents, contractors, or employees (but only to the extent of said negligence or misconduct), (3) repairs for which Tenant has already paid as Property Maintenance Costs or repairs or costs expressly excluded from Tenant's responsibility under Section 13.12.C; (4) damage arising from Landlord's failure to comply with the provisions of this Lease including, without limitation, Landlord's repair obligations pursuant to this section; and repairs covered by valid warranties.
Section 6.1
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant shall be permitted to construct improvements to the interior of the space without obtaining Landlord's prior written consent provided however, that such improvements shall: (i) not exceed a cost of twenty five thousand dollars ($25,000) in any calendar year, (ii) shall be interior only, (iii) shall not affect the structure of the Building, (iv) shall not involve demolition to work constructed by Landlord, (v) Tenant shall advise Landlord of the work to be constructed and with each such improvement will provide to Landlord reproducible drawings showing the improvements to be constructed by Tenant and existing adjacent improvements. No later than 30 days after construction, Landlord and Tenant shall agree upon the restoration cost relating to such improvements that will be added to the Xxxxxxx Restoration Cost as set forth in Section 2.6 above and if they do not so agree, the matter shall be determined by binding arbitration through the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services ("JAMS") in San Jose, California and if none exits at the time of such controversy then to the JAMS in San Francisco, and if none exists at the time of such controversy then to the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") with the hearing to be held in San Jose, California.

All such fees and costs together with attorneys' fees and costs, including expert witness costs of the parties and attorneys' fees and costs incurred in enforcing any judgment, may be awarded to the prevailing or most prevailing party at the discretion of the arbitrator. The provisions of Sections 1282.6, 1283, and 1283.05 of the California Code of Civil Procedure apply to the arbitration. The arbitrator shall not have any power to alter, amend, modify or change any of the terms of this Agreement nor to grant any remedy which is either prohibited by the terms of this Agreement, or not available in a court of law. The arbitrator shall issue a final decision within thirty (30) days of the conclusion of testimony unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. Only one arbitrator shall be necessary for any arbitration hereunder. In the event JAMS is utilized the arbitrator shall be a retired judge of the superior court in the county where the arbitration is held and shall be selected by JAMS from a panel of five arbitrators, two of which may be objected to which each party, in which event such objected to arbitrators shall not act as the arbitrator hereunder.

In addition, should any single item which is characterized as a "capital" item under generally accepted accounting principles that has a useful life of more than five years be replaced at a cost of greater than $50,000 ("Major Item"), Xxxxxxx shall pay the first $50,000 of the cost of such replacement with the balance of the cost amortized with interest equal to Landlord's Interest Rate over the actual reasonably estimated useful life of the Major Item (i.e. not limited by the tax code). The total of such Major Items shall not exceed $150,000 in any one calendar year.

Tenant or Tenant's agent shall have the right at all reasonable times within said twelve (12) month period to inspect such books, records and supporting documents, to challenge the accuracy of any Property Maintenance Costs and to procure an audit. In the event an audit of the records results in a determination that the Property Maintenance Costs charged to Tenant were in excess of 5% more than the actual Property Maintenance Costs, Landlord shall pay for the reasonable cost of such audit.
Section 14.5
Landlord's Interest Rate: Throughout the Lease where Tenant is obligated to pay interest to Landlord, Tenant shall so pay interest at an annual interest rate equal to the Xxxxx Fargo National Bank Prime Lending Interest Rate, as determined from time to time by Xxxxx Fargo National Bank, plus three percent (3%). In the event that such interest rate is not available, Landlord in its reasonable opinion shall select another major regional national bank which publishes a prime lending rate of interest to use as a reference rate to which three percent (3%) shall be added.
Section 15
Option to Renew: Landlord hereby grants to Tenant one (1) option to renew the Lease for an additional five (5) years (the Renewal Term). The Renewal Term shall commence upon the expiration of the initial lease term such that there shall not be a gap in the time between the Lease Term, and the Renewal Term. The Option to Renew is not transferable and applies only to Xxxxxxx or a Permitted Transferee. The following shall apply to such renewal option:
1. The lease of the Leased Premises for the Renewal Term shall be on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Lease, except:
A. That the Base Monthly Rent for the Leased Premises during the Renewal Term shall be as set forth below in Paragraph 3, and
B. That the Security Deposit shall be increased to the Base Monthly Rent determined in Paragraph 3 (the "Increased Security Deposit Amount").
2. Tenant shall notify Landlord of Tenant's exercise of its right to renew the Lease for the Renewal Term only by giving to Landlord written notice no more than eight (8) months prior to the Renewal Commencement Date nor fewer than six (6) months prior to the Renewal Commencement Date (time is expressly of the essence to Landlord). Any attempted exercise of this Option made other than within the time period stated or in the manner stated shall be void and of no force or effect. In the event that Tenant does not or is not entitled to exercise its option Tenant shall have no further rights hereunder.
3. If Tenant shall have properly and timely exercised its right to extend the term of the Lease, the term of the Lease shall be so extended for the Renewal Term on the same terms and conditions contained in the Lease; provided, however, the Base Monthly Rent for each month of the Renewal Term shall be calculated as follows: The new Base Monthly Rent for the Renewal Term shall be the Then Market Rental Rate for the Lease Premises.
4. The term "Then Monthly Market Rental Rate" shall be determined by mutual agreement between Landlord and Tenant or, in the event such agreement cannot be made within ten (10) days from the date Tenant shall have exercised this option, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint a real estate appraiser with at least five (5) years full-time commercial/industrial appraisal experience in Alameda County to appraise and determine the fair market monthly rental rate of the Leased Premises. As used herein, the "Then Monthly Market Rental Rate" payable by Tenant for the Renewal Term shall mean the Base Monthly Rent for the highest and best use for comparable space at which non-equity tenants, as of the commencement of the lease term for the Renewal Term, will be leasing non-sublease, non-equity, unencumbered space comparable in size, location and quality to the Premises for a comparable term, which comparable space is located in other comparable buildings in the vicinity of the Building, in its then existing condition. The Then Monthly Market Rental Rate shall include the periodic rental increases that would be included for space leased for the period of the Extended Term and shall include equitable adjustments for applicable market concessions and transaction expenses for comparable R&D/manufacturing buildings. If either party does not appoint an appraiser within ten (10) days after the other party has given notice of the name of its appraiser, the other party can then apply to the President of the Alameda County Real Estate Board or the presiding Judge of the Superior Court of that County for the selection of a second appraiser who meets the qualifications stated above. The failing party shall bear the cost of appointing the second appraiser and of paying the second appraiser's fee. The two appraisers shall attempt to establish the Then Monthly Market Rental Rate for the Leased Premises. If the two appraisers are unable to agree on the Then Monthly Market Rental Rate for the Leased Premises within ten (10) days after the second appraiser has been selected or appointed, then the two appraisers shall attempt to select a third appraiser meeting the qualifications stated above. If they fail to agree on a third appraiser, either party can follow the above procedure for having an appraiser appointed by the Real Estate Board or a judiciary. Each of the parties shall bear one-half (1/2) of the cost of appointing the third appraiser and of paying the third appraiser's fee. Unless the three appraisers are able to agree on the Then Monthly Market Rental Rate for the Leased Premises within ten (10) days after the selection or appointment of the third appraiser, the two appraisal amounts being calculated most closely together, after having discarded the appraisal amount which most greatly varies from the other two appraisal amounts, shall be added together then divided by two (2). The resulting rental amount shall be defined as the Then Monthly Market Rental Rate for the Leased Premises. It is acknowledged that the Then Monthly Market Rental Rate may increase over time based upon the agreement of the parties or the decision of the arbitration (i.e. rent escalators) and/or the Then Monthly Market Rental Rate may contain a period of reduced Base Monthly Rent based upon the agreement of the parties or the decision of the arbitration.
Section 16
The Premises are hereby leased to Tenant in and "as in" condition.
Section 17
Landlord shall provide Tenant with an allowance for general purpose interior improvements to be reasonably approved by Landlord in the amount of two hundred fifty one thousand eight hundred twenty dollars ($251,820.00). At Landlord's sole option Landlord may provide Tenant with an additional allowance for general purpose interior improvements to be reasonably approved by Landlord in the amount of two hundred fifty one thousand eight hundred twenty dollars ($251,820) in which case the Base Monthly Rent shall be increased by three thousand one hundred ninety dollars ($3,190.00).
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have executed this First Addendum To Lease with the intent to be legally bound thereby to be effective as of the date above written.
