ARTICLE 2
LEASED PREMISES, TERM AND POSSESSION
2.1 Demise Of Leased Premises.
(a) Landlord (as successor to LBA-VF III, LLC) and Tenant are parties to that
certain Office Lease with respect to approximately 90,898 rentable square feet in the Building (the
“Existing Lease”). In lieu of Tenant exercising its Right to Terminate Lease as provided in Rider
5 to the Existing Lease, Landlord and Tenant are entering into a new lease agreement, as set forth
herein, and terminating the Existing Lease. The effectiveness of this Lease is conditioned upon
the Landlord and Tenant entering into an amendment which terminates the Existing Lease, waives
payment of any Termination Consideration (as defined in the Existing Lease), transfers a portion of
the security deposit here thereunder to be applied to the Security Deposit required herein to and
decreases the size of the premises leased by Tenant.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 2.1(a) above, Landlord hereby leases to
Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord for Tenant’s own use in the conduct of Tenant’s
business and not for purposes of speculating in real estate, for the Lease Term and upon the terms
and subject to the conditions of this Lease, that certain interior space described in Article 1 as
the Leased Premises, reserving and excepting to Landlord the right to fifty percent (50%) of all
assignment consideration and excess rentals as provided in Article 7 below. Tenant’s lease of the
Leased Premises, together with the appurtenant right to use the Common Areas as described in
Paragraph 2.2 below, shall be conditioned upon and be subject to the continuing compliance by
Tenant with (i) all the terms and conditions of this Lease, (ii) all Laws and Restrictions
governing the use or occupancy of the Leased Premises and the Property, (iii) all easements and
other matters now of public record respecting the use of the Leased Premises and Property, and (iv)
all reasonable rules and regulations from time to time established by Landlord. Notwithstanding
any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Landlord hereby reserves to itself and its designees
all rights of access, use and occupancy of the Building roof, and Tenant shall have no right of
access, use or occupancy of the Building roof except (if at all) to the extent required in order to
enable Tenant to perform Tenant’s maintenance and repair obligations pursuant to this Lease.
Tenant shall have the right to use the Leased Premises and Common Areas on a 24-hours a day, 7-days
a week basis, subject to the provisions of this Lease.
2.2 Right To Use Common Areas. As an appurtenant right to Tenant’s right to the use and
occupancy of the Leased Premises, Tenant shall have the right to use the Common Areas in
conjunction with its use of the Leased Premises solely for the purposes for which they were
designated and intended and for no other purposes whatsoever. Tenant’s right to so use the Common
Areas shall be subject to the limitations on such use as set forth in Article 1 and shall terminate
concurrently with any termination of this Lease.
2.3 Lease Commencement Date And Lease Term. Subject to Paragraph 2.4 below, the term of
this Lease shall begin, and the Lease Commencement Date shall be deemed to have occurred on the
date set forth in Article 1 (the “Lease Commencement Date”). Provided however, if Tenant commences
regular business operations in the Leased Premises prior thereto, then the Lease Commencement Date
shall be the date of commencement of Tenant’s business operations in the Premises. The term of
this Lease shall in all events end on the Lease Expiration Date (as set forth in Article 1). The
Lease Term shall be that period of time commencing on the Lease Commencement Date and ending on the
Lease Expiration Date (the “Lease Term”). If for any reason the Lease Commencement Date occurs
pursuant to the terms of this Lease on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, the
period commencing on the Lease Commencement Date and ending on the last day of the calendar month
in which the Lease Commencement Date occurs shall be an initial “Stub Period” which shall be added
to the initial Lease Term, and Tenant shall pay all rent and other charges with respect to such
Stub Period on a prorated basis at the same rate applicable to the first full calendar month of
this Lease. Following such Stub Period and commencing as of the first day of the first full
calendar month following the month in which the Lease Commencement Date occurs, Tenant shall
commence the payment of rent and other charges payable hereunder as if the initial Lease Term has
actually commenced on such date. The use of the Stub Period described above is intended to provide
for ease of administration and calculation of all amounts owed hereunder, since all rental
adjustments will be determined as of the first day of a calendar month and the Term of the Lease
will end as of the last day of a calendar month (unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms
hereof).
2.4 Delivery Of Possession. Tenant is in possession of the Leased Premises pursuant to
the Existing Lease.
2.5 Acceptance Of Possession; Performance Of Improvement Work. Tenant has occupied the
Leased Premises since 2000 pursuant to the Existing Lease and is fully familiar with its condition
and operations. Tenant formally accepts same in its current condition AS-IS and WITH ALL FAULTS.
As soon as commercially reasonable after execution of this Lease, Tenant shall, pursuant to the
Work Letter,
3.
perform the work and make the installations in the Leased Premises substantially as
set forth in the Work Letter (such work and installations hereinafter referred to as the
“Improvement Work”).
2.6 Surrender Of Possession. Immediately prior to the expiration or upon the sooner
termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove all of Tenant’s signs from the exterior of the
Building and shall remove all of Tenant’s equipment (excluding telecommunications wiring and
cabling), trade fixtures, furniture, supplies, wall decorations and other personal property from
within the Leased Premises, the Building and the Common Areas, and shall vacate and surrender the
Leased Premises, the Building, the Common Areas and the Property to Landlord in the same condition,
broom clean, as existed at the Lease Commencement Date, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Tenant
shall repair all damage to the Leased Premises, the exterior of the Building and the Common Areas
caused by Tenant’s removal of Tenant’s property. Tenant shall, with respect to telecommunications
wiring and cabling, leave the same in good condition and repair (reasonable wear and tear excepted)
and labeled and/or coded sufficiently so that Landlord can readily determine the origin,
destination and function of the wires and cables. Tenant shall patch and refinish, to Landlord’s
reasonable satisfaction, all penetrations made by Tenant or its employees to the floor, walls or
ceiling of the Leased Premises, whether such penetrations were made with Landlord’s approval or
not. Tenant shall repair all damage caused by Tenant to the exterior surface of the Building and
the paved surfaces of the Common Areas (reasonable wear and tear excepted) and, where necessary,
replace or resurface same. Additionally, to the extent that Landlord shall have notified or is
deemed to have notified Tenant in writing at the time the improvements were completed that it
desired to have certain improvements made by Tenant or at the request of Tenant removed at the
expiration or sooner termination of the Lease, Tenant shall, upon the expiration or sooner
termination of the Lease, remove any such improvements constructed or installed by Landlord or
Tenant and repair all damage caused by such removal. If the Leased Premises, the Building, the
Common Areas and the Property are not surrendered to Landlord in the condition required by this
paragraph at the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Landlord may, at Tenant’s expense,
so remove Tenant’s signs, property and/or improvements not so removed and make such repairs and
replacements not so made or hire, at Tenant’s expense, independent contractors to perform such
work. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all costs incurred by Landlord in returning the
Leased Premises, the Building and the Common Areas to the required condition, together with
interest on all costs so incurred from the date paid by Landlord at the then maximum rate of
interest not prohibited or made usurious by law until paid. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the
amount of all costs so incurred plus such interest thereon, within ten (10) days of Landlord’s
billing Tenant for same. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against loss or liability resulting from
delay by Tenant in surrendering the Leased Premises, including, without limitation, any claims made
by any succeeding Tenant or any losses to Landlord with respect to lost opportunities to lease to
succeeding tenants.
ARTICLE 3
RENT, LATE CHARGES AND SECURITY DEPOSITS
3.1 Base Monthly Rent. Commencing on the Lease Commencement Date (as determined pursuant
to Paragraph 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, the amount set
forth as “Base Monthly Rent” in Article 1 (the “Base Monthly Rent”).
3.2 Additional Rent. In addition to the Base Monthly Rent and to the extent not required
by Landlord to be contracted for and paid directly by Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as
additional rent (the “Additional Rent”) the following amounts:
(a) Commencing as of January 1, 2007, an amount equal to the Property Expense
Increase (as defined in Article 13) incurred by Landlord. Payment shall be made as follows:
Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a reasonably detailed written statement of Landlord’s reasonable
estimate of the Property Expense Increase which it anticipates will be paid or incurred for the
ensuing calendar year, as Landlord may determine, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal
to the estimated amount of such Property Expense Increase for such year in equal monthly
installments during such ensuing year with the installments of Base Monthly Rent. Landlord reserves
the right to revise such estimate from time to time the methods of billing Tenant for any given
expense or group of expenses or the periodic basis on which such expenses are billed consistent
with generally accepted building accounting procedures;
(b) Landlord’s share of the consideration received by Tenant upon certain
assignments and sublettings as required by Article 7;
(c) Any legal fees and costs that Tenant is obligated to pay or reimburse to
Landlord pursuant to Article 13; and
(d) Any other charges or reimbursements due Landlord from Tenant pursuant to the
terms of this Lease.
4.
3.3 Year-End Adjustments. Landlord shall furnish to Tenant within four 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 thirty (30) days from Landlord’s billing of same to Tenant.
The provisions of this Paragraph shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.
Tenant shall have the right, to be exercised not more than once during any calendar year, within
sixty (60) days after Landlord’s final statement, to audit Operating Expenses for the prior year,
and to examine Landlord’s records relating to the same. Any such audit shall be conducted during
the normal business hours of Landlord and at Landlord’s office upon not less than thirty (30) days
advance written notice. Such audit and examination shall be conducted only by an independent
certified public accountant which shall not be compensated for such audit and review on a
contingency basis. No audit may be conducted at any time Tenant is in Default of its obligations
under this Lease (as defined in Article 12), regardless of any notice or cure period. Any audit
report must be delivered to Landlord within one hundred eighty (180) days after Landlord’s final
statement for the year being audited. The costs of any such audit shall be borne by Tenant,
provided, however, that in the event such audit reveals that the amounts charged to Tenant were
more than seven percent (7%) greater than the amounts permitted by this Lease to be charged to
Tenant, then Landlord shall pay the reasonable costs of that audit. In addition, Landlord shall
pay to Tenant, within ten (10) days of notice thereof, any amounts determined to be owed to Tenant
as a result of such audit.
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 expenses 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
five (5) calendar days after 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 when the same becomes due, Tenant shall immediately
pay to Landlord a late charge in an amount equal to 5% 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 which 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 five (5)
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 fifth day at the then maximum rate of interest not prohibited or
made usurious by Law until paid.
3.5 Payment Of Rent. Except as specifically provided otherwise in this Lease, 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 had Tenant failed to pay the Base Monthly Rent when due.
3.6 Prepaid Rent. Tenant shall, upon execution of this Lease, pay to Landlord the amount
set forth in Article 1 as “One Month’s Prepaid Rent” as prepayment of rent for credit against the
first payment of Base Monthly Rent and Additional Rent due hereunder.
3.7 Security Deposit. Tenant has deposited or shall deposit concurrently with Tenant’s
execution of this Lease, 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. Tenant hereby grants to Landlord a security interest in
the Security Deposit, including but not limited to replenishments thereof. 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, or any other monetary payment obligation of Tenant under
this Lease; (ii) to repair damage to the Leased Premises, the Building or the Common Areas caused
or permitted to occur by Tenant; (iii) to clean and restore and repair the Leased Premises, the
Building or the Common Areas following their surrender to Landlord if not surrendered in the
condition required pursuant to the provisions of Article 2, (iv) to remedy any other
5.
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, and (v) to cover any
other expense, loss or damage which Landlord may suffer due to Tenant’s default. 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. 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
Landlord’s 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 ninety days following a surrender of the Leased Premises by Tenant to
Landlord within which to inspect the Leased Premises, make required restorations and repairs,
receive and verify workmen’s xxxxxxxx therefor, and prepare a final accounting with respect to the
Security Deposit. Landlord shall return the Security Deposit, less any permitted deductions, to
Tenant promptly at the end of such period. In no event shall the Security Deposit or any portion
thereof, be considered prepaid rent.
ARTICLE 4
USE OF LEASED PREMISES AND COMMON AREA
4.1 Permitted Use. Tenant shall be entitled to use the Leased Premises solely for the
“Permitted Use” as set forth in Article 1 and for no other purpose whatsoever. Tenant shall
continuously and without interruption occupy the Leased Premises for such purpose for the entire
Lease Term. Any discontinuance of such use for a period of sixty consecutive calendar days shall
be, at Landlord’s election, a Default by Tenant under the terms of this Lease unless Tenant is
exercising diligent efforts to find a subtenant or assignee, in which case Tenant shall have the
right to vacate the Leased Premises, provided Tenant maintains the Leased Premises in the same
condition as otherwise required by the terms of this Lease. Tenant shall have the right to use the
Common Areas in conjunction with its Permitted Use of the Leased Premises solely for the purposes
for which they were designed and intended and for no other purposes whatsoever.
4.2 General Limitations On Use. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or
about the Leased Premises, the Building, the Common Areas or the Property which does or could (i)
jeopardize the structural integrity of the Building or (ii) cause damage to any part of the Leased

constructive of Tenant from the Leased Premises or any portion thereof.
4.10 Use Of Common Areas. Tenant, in its use of the Common Areas, shall at all times

Tenant shall not store, use or
8.
dispose of any Hazardous Materials except for those Hazardous

adjacent to the Building any Hazardous Materials. Tenant shall be solely responsible for and shall
defend, indemnify, and hold Landlord and its agents harmless from and against all claims, costs and
liabilities, including attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of or in connection with Tenant’s
storage, use and/or disposal of Hazardous Materials. If the presence of Hazardous Materials on the
Leased Premises caused or permitted by Tenant results in contamination or deterioration of water or
soil, then Tenant shall promptly take any and all action necessary to clean up such contamination,
but the foregoing shall in no event be deemed to constitute permission by Landlord to allow the
presence of such Hazardous Materials. At any time prior to the expiration of the Lease Term if
Tenant has a reasonable basis to suspect that there has been any release or the presence of
Hazardous Materials in the ground or ground water on the Leased Premises which did not exist upon
commencement of the Lease Term, Tenant shall have the right to conduct appropriate tests of water
and soil and to deliver to Landlord the results of such tests to demonstrate that no contamination
in excess of permitted levels has occurred as a result of Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises.
Subject to the proviso in the first sentence of this Paragraph 4.11(b), Tenant shall further be
solely responsible for, and shall defend, indemnify, and hold Landlord and its agents harmless from
and against all claims, costs and liabilities, including attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of
or in connection with any removal, cleanup and restoration work and materials required hereunder to
return the Leased Premises and any other property of whatever nature to their condition existing
prior to the appearance of the Hazardous Materials for which Tenant is responsible.
(c) Upon termination or expiration of the Lease Term, Tenant at its sole expense
shall cause all Hazardous Materials placed in or about the Leased Premises, the Building and/or the
Property by Tenant, its agents, contractors, or invitees, and all installations (whether interior
or exterior) made by or on behalf of Tenant relating to the storage, use, disposal or
transportation of Hazardous Materials to be removed from the property and transported for use,
storage or disposal in accordance and compliance with all Laws and other requirements respecting
Hazardous Materials used or permitted to be used by Tenant. Tenant shall apply for and shall
obtain from all appropriate regulatory authorities (including any applicable fire department or
regional water quality control board) all permits, approvals and clearances necessary for the
closure of the Property and shall take all other actions as may be required to complete the closure
of the Building and the Property. In addition, prior to vacating the Leased Premises, Tenant shall
undertake and submit to Landlord an environmental site assessment from an environmental consulting
company reasonably acceptable to Landlord which site assessment shall evidence Tenant’s compliance
with this Paragraph 4.11.
(d) At any time prior to expiration of the Lease Term, subject to reasonable prior
notice (not less than forty-eight (48) hours) and Tenant’s reasonable security requirements and
provided such activities do not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of Tenant’s business at the
Leased Premises, Landlord shall have the right to enter in and upon the Property, Building and
Leased Premises in order to conduct appropriate tests of water and soil to determine whether levels
of any Hazardous Materials in excess of legally permissible levels has occurred as a result of
Tenant’s use thereof. Landlord shall furnish copies of all such test results and reports to Tenant
and, at Tenant’s option and cost, shall permit split sampling for testing and analysis by Tenant.
Such testing shall be at Tenant’s expense if Landlord has a reasonable basis for suspecting and
confirms the presence of Hazardous Materials in the soil or surface or ground water in, on, under,
or about the Property, the Building or the Leased Premises, which has been caused by or resulted
from the activities of Tenant, its agents, contractors, or invitees.
(e) Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease or to any reduction in or
abatement of rent by reason of any required compliance with the efforts of governmental agencies in
reducing actual or potential environmental damage except as expressly provided in Paragraph 4.11(f)
below. Tenant agrees at all times to cooperate fully with the requirements and recommendations of
governmental agencies regulating, or otherwise involved in, the protection of the environment.
(f) If the event of any release or contamination of the Property caused by Landlord,
its employees or agents (“Landlord Release”), then Landlord hereby agrees that (i) to the extent
any such release or contamination, or any cleanup, removal or remediation arising therefrom,
materially impairs Tenant’s use of or access to the Premises, and such material impairment
continues for more than three (3) business days, then Base Rent shall be abated to the extent
Tenant is not reasonably able to conduct its business within the Leased Premises. Further if such
material impairment can reasonably be anticipated to continue for more than six (6) months (as
reasonably determined by Landlord’s environmental consultant), or does continue for more than six
(6) months, then Tenant may terminate this Lease by
9.
providing Landlord written notice within seven
(7) days after the sooner of the date Tenant receives written notice of such determination or the
end of such six (6) month period. Further in the event of a Landlord Release, Landlord shall be
solely responsible for all costs and shall indemnify and hold harmless Tenant from and against all
claims, costs and liabilities, including attorneys’ fees and costs, arising therefrom.
4.12 Rules And Regulations. Tenant shall comply with Landlord’s reasonable Rules and
Regulations for the Property as may be amended and adopted from time to time, provided, that,
Landlord has provided Tenant with written notice of such Rules and Regulations. A copy of
Landlord’s current Rules and Regulations for the Property is attached to this Lease as Exhibit E,
and such Rules and Regulations are incorporated herein by reference. A violation by Tenant its
agents, employees or invitees of any of such Rules and Regulations shall constitute a breach 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 or liable to Tenant for the violation of such rules and regulations by any other tenant
or user of the Property.
4.13 Reservations. Landlord reserves the right from time to time to grant, without the
consent or joinder of Tenant, such easements, rights of way and dedications that Landlord deems
necessary, and to cause the recordation of parcel maps and restrictions, so long as such easements,
rights of way and dedications do not unreasonably interfere with the use of the Leased Premises by
Tenant. Tenant agrees to execute any documents reasonably requested by Landlord to effectuate any
such easement rights, dedications, maps or restrictions.
ARTICLE 5
REPAIRS, MAINTENANCE, SERVICES AND UTILITIES
5.1 Repair And Maintenance. Except in the case of damage to or destruction of the Leased
Premises, the Building, the Common Areas or the Property caused by an act of God or other peril, in
which case the provisions of Article 10 shall control, the parties shall have the following
obligations and responsibilities with respect to the repair and maintenance of the Leased Premises,
the Building, the Common Areas, and the Property.
(a) Tenant’s Obligations. Except with respect to maintenance of Building systems
that is Landlord’s responsibility pursuant to Paragraph 5.1(b) below, Tenant shall, at all times
during the Lease Term and at its sole cost and expense, continuously keep and maintain in good
order, condition and repair the Leased Premises and every part thereof. Tenant shall, at its sole
cost and expense, repair all damage to the Leased Premises, the Building, the Common Areas or the
Property caused by the activities of Tenant, its employees, invitees or contractors promptly
following written notice from Landlord to so repair such damages, subject to the waiver of
subrogation set forth in Paragraph 9.3 below. If Tenant shall fail to perform the required
maintenance or fail to make repairs required of it pursuant to this section within a reasonable
period of time following notice from Landlord to do so, then Landlord may, at its election and
without waiving any other remedy it may otherwise have under this Lease or at law, perform such
maintenance or make such repairs and charge to Tenant, as Additional Rent, the costs so incurred by
Landlord for same.
(b) Landlord’s Obligation. Landlord shall, at all times during the Lease Term,
maintain in good condition and repair the Common Areas, the foundation, roof structure and
membrane, load-bearing and exterior walls of the Building, and those Building elevators,
electrical, plumbing, and life safety (and Building central heating, ventilating, and air
conditioning) systems or components thereof which serve the Building. Landlord shall hire a
licensed roofing contractor to regularly and periodically inspect and perform required maintenance
on the roof of the Building, and a licensed heating, ventilating and air conditioning contractor to
regularly and
periodically inspect and perform required maintenance on the heating, ventilating and air
conditioning equipment and systems serving the Leased Premises. The provisions of this subsection
(b) shall in no way limit the right of Landlord to charge to Tenant, as Additional Rent pursuant to
Article 3 (to the extent permitted pursuant to Article 3), the costs incurred by Landlord in
performing such maintenance and/or making such repairs.
5.2 Services.
(a) Landlord will furnish to the Leased Premises during the period from 8:00 a.m. to
6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., Saturdays, except for New Year’s Day,
Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and such other
holidays as are generally recognized in the vicinity of the Property (hereafter, “Building Standard
Hours”), and subject to rules and regulations from time to time established by Landlord: heating,
air conditioning and ventilation (“HVAC”) in amounts required, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment,
for the normal use and occupancy of the Leased Premises. If Tenant’s hours of operation of such
HVAC units are outside Building Standard Hours, then Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of
Landlord’s then current hourly charge for Building standard HVAC for other than Building Standard
Hours. Tenant
10.
acknowledges that the heating, air conditioning and ventilating system of the
Building is designed to operate efficiently while electrical equipment such as customary lamps,
typewriters, computers and other typical office machines are being used in the Leased Premises and
while the Leased Premises are occupied in any building system zone by not more than one person per
200 square feet of rentable area of the Leased Premises. If the temperature otherwise maintained in
any portion of the Leased Premises by the heating, air conditioning and ventilating system of the
Building is affected by (i) Tenant’s use of any lights, machines or equipment (including, without
limitation, computers, electronic data processing machines and copying machines) in excess of
normal office usage, or (ii) the occupancy of the Leased Premises by more than one person per 200
square feet of rentable area of the Leased Premises, or (iii) an electrical load that generates
heat in excess of normal office usage, Landlord shall have the right, unless Tenant ceases and
desists from such usage or excess occupancy within fifteen (15) days after written notice from
Landlord, to install any machinery and equipment that Landlord reasonably deems necessary to
restore temperature balance, including, without limitation, supplemental and independent heating,
air conditioning and ventilation systems and/or modifications to the standard air conditioning
equipment. In such event, the cost thereof, including the cost of installation and any additional
cost of operation and maintenance incurred thereby, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within
thirty (30) days after demand therefore by Landlord; provided, however, Landlord agrees to use
commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such issue in a cost effective manner. Tenant shall
notify Landlord in advance, prior to installing or operating any machines or equipment, of the
specifications of such machines or equipment which could so affect the temperature otherwise
maintained in any portion of the Leased Premises by the heating, air conditioning and ventilating
system of the Building.
(b) Landlord will furnish to the Leased Premises during Building Standard Hours, and
subject to rules and regulations from time to time established by Landlord: (a) elevator service
(if any), (b) water for lavatory and drinking purposes, and (c) janitorial service on business
days in the manner that such services are customarily furnished in comparable office buildings in
the area; provided that in no event shall Landlord be obligated to furnish janitor service on
Saturdays, Sundays, or legal holidays.
(c) Landlord shall arrange at its sole cost and expense and in its own name, for the
supply of gas and electricity to the Leased Premises. In the event that such services are not
separately metered, Landlord shall, at its sole expense, either (i) cause sub-meters to be
installed or (ii) charge Tenant for such utilities on a pro-rata basis based on the ratio from time
to time of the rentable square footage of the Leased Premises to the total leased rentable square
footage of the Building. Tenant shall pay all charges for gas and electricity supplied to the
Leased Premises, irrespective of whether or not the services are maintained in Landlord’s or
Tenant’s name.
(d) In the event any governmental entity promulgates or revises any statute,
ordinance or building, fire or other code or imposes mandatory or voluntary controls or guidelines
on Landlord or the Building or any part thereof, or Landlord’s engineers propose guidelines or
otherwise make recommendations, relating to the use or conservation of energy, water, gas, light or
electricity or the reduction of automobile or other emissions or the provision of any other utility
or service provided with respect to this Lease, or in the event Landlord is required or elects to
make alterations or to perform maintenance with respect to, any part of the Property in order to
comply with such mandatory or voluntary controls, guidelines or recommendations, such compliance,
the making of such alterations and/or the performance of such maintenance shall in no event entitle
Tenant to any damages, relieve Tenant of the obligation to pay the full Base Monthly Rent and
Additional Rent reserved hereunder or to perform each of its other covenants hereunder or
constitute or be construed as a constructive or other eviction of Tenant or a disturbance of
Tenant’s peaceable possession, provided, that, Tenant’s use of and access to the Leased Premises is
not materially impaired.
(e) Without the prior written consent of Landlord, which Landlord may refuse in its
sole discretion, Tenant shall not: (a) connect or use any electrical equipment that exceeds the
capacity of the
Building electrical system; (b) connect any apparatus, machine or device through electrical
outlets except in the manner for which such outlets are designed and without the use of any device
intended to increase the plug capacity of any electrical outlet; or (c) maintain at any time an
electrical demand load in excess of 4 xxxxx per square foot of useable area of the Leased Premises.
(f) [intentionally deleted]
(g) Landlord shall not be in default hereunder and no damages, compensation, or
claim shall be payable by Landlord, and this Lease and the obligations of Tenant to perform all of
its covenants and agreements hereunder shall in no way be affected, impaired, reduced, or excused,
in the event that there shall be an interruption, curtailment, or suspension of the Building’s
HVAC, utility, sanitary, elevator, water, telecommunications, security (including equipment,
devices, and personnel), or other Building systems serving the Leased Premises or any other
services required of Landlord under this Lease (an “Interruption of Service”), by reason of any
casualty, accident, emergency, shortages of labor or materials or any other causes of any kind
whatsoever that are beyond the control of Landlord, including, but limited to:
11.
(i) Lack of access to the Building or the Leased Premises (which shall include, but
not be limited to, the lack of access to the Building or the Leased Premises when it or they are
structurally sound but inaccessible due to evacuation of the surrounding area or damage to nearby
structures or public areas);
(ii) Any cause outside the Building;
(iii) Reduced air quality or other contaminants within the Building that would
adversely affect the Building or its occupants (including, but not limited to, the presence of
biological or other airborne agents within the Building or the Leased Premises);
(iv) Disruption of mail and deliveries to the Building or the Leased Premises
resulting from a casualty;
(v) Disruption of telephone and telecommunications services to the Building or the
Leased Premises resulting from a casualty; or
(vi) Blockages of any windows, doors, or walkways to the Building or the Leased
Premises resulting from a casualty.
Landlord reserves the right, without any liability to Tenant, except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Lease, and without being in breach of any covenant of this Lease, to effect an
Interruption of Service, as required by this Lease or by Law, or as Landlord in good xxxxx xxxxx
advisable, whenever and for so long as may be necessary, to make repairs, alterations, upgrades,
changes, or for any other reasonable reason, to the Building’s HVAC, utility, sanitary, elevator,
water, telecommunications, security, or other Building systems serving the Leased Premises, or any
other services required of Landlord under this Lease. In no event shall Landlord be permitted to
effect an Interruption of Service as a retaliatory action against Tenant and/or other tenants of
the Building.
In each instance, Landlord shall exercise commercially reasonable diligence to eliminate the cause
of the Interruption of Service, if resulting from conditions within the Building and to conclude
the Interruption of Service, Landlord shall give Tenant notice, when practicable, of the
commencement and anticipated duration of such Interruption of Service.
Unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, the occurrence of an
Interruption of Service shall not constitute an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant, in whole
or in part, entitle Tenant to any abatement or diminution of Rent, Escalation Rent, or any other
costs due from Tenant pursuant to this Lease, relieve or release Tenant from any of its obligations
under this Lease, or entitle Tenant to terminate this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, if Tenant is unable to continue and therefore ceases its operations in
the Leased Premises due to the affirmative act of Landlord which act constitutes gross negligence
or willful misconduct, and is unable to resume its operations for three (3) consecutive days, then
all Rent payable hereunder shall be abated commencing on the fourth day and continuing until Tenant
is no longer prevented by such act from resuming its operations in the Leased Premises.
Tenant hereby waives the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1932 or any other applicable
existing or future Law or ordinance or governmental regulation permitting the termination of this
Lease due to any interruption, failure or inability to provide Landlord services as provided for
herein.
(h) If any portions of the Leased Premises require HVAC or other utility service in
excess of the standard service to be provided by Landlord hereunder, Tenant may install, at
Tenant’s cost, supplemental systems (such as supplemental HVAC units) subject to Landlord’s review
of plans and specifications. Any supplemental units installed by Tenant shall be separately
metered and utility charges
relating to the operation thereof shall be paid for by Tenant. Tenant shall remove all such
supplemental units and alterations relating thereto and restore the Leased Premises prior to the
expiration or termination of the Lease Term.
5.3 Security. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has not undertaken any duty whatsoever
to provide security for the Leased Premises, the Building, the Common Areas or the Property and,
accordingly, Landlord is not responsible for the security of same or the protection of Tenant’s
property or Tenant’s employees, invitees or contractors. To the extent Tenant determines that such
security or protection services are advisable or necessary, Tenant shall arrange for and pay the
costs of providing same.
5.4 Energy And Resource Consumption. Landlord may voluntarily cooperate in a reasonable
manner with the efforts of governmental agencies and/or utility suppliers in reducing energy or
other resource consumption within the Property. Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate this
Lease or to any reduction in or abatement of rent by reason of such cooperation. Tenant agrees at
all times to cooperate fully with Landlord and to abide by all reasonable rules established by
Landlord (i) in order to maximize the efficient operation of the electrical, heating, ventilating
and air conditioning systems and all other
12.
energy or other resource consumption systems with the
Property and/or (ii) in order to comply with the recommendations of utility suppliers and
governmental agencies regulating the consumption of energy and/or other resources.
5.5 Limitation Of Landlord’s Liability. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for
injury to Tenant, its employees, agents, invitees or contractors, damage to Tenant’s property or
loss of Tenant’s business or profits, nor shall Tenant be entitled to terminate this Lease or to
any reduction in or abatement of rent by reason of (i) Landlord’s failure to provide security
services or systems within the Property for the protection of the Leased Premises, the Building or
the Common Areas, or the protection of Tenant’s property or Tenant’s employees, invitees, agents or
contractors, or (ii) Landlord’s failure to perform any maintenance or repairs to the Leased
Premises, the Building, the Common Areas or the Property until Tenant shall have first notified
Landlord, in writing, of the need for such maintenance or repairs, and then only after Landlord
shall have had a reasonable period of time following its receipt of such notice within which to
perform such maintenance or repairs, or (iii) any failure, interruption, rationing or other
curtailment in the supply of water, electric current, gas or other utility service to the Leased
Premises, the Building, the Common Areas or the Property from whatever cause (other than Landlord’s
gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (iv) the unauthorized intrusion or entry into the
Leased Premises by third parties (other than Landlord).
ARTICLE 6
ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS
6.1 By Tenant. Tenant shall not make any alterations to or modifications of the Leased
Premises or construct any improvements within the Leased Premises until Landlord shall have first
approved, in writing, the plans and specifications therefor, which approval may be withheld in
Landlord’s sole discretion. Tenant’s written request shall also contain a request for Landlord to
elect whether or not it will require Tenant to remove the subject alterations, modifications or
improvements at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. If such additional request is
not included, Landlord may make such election at the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease (and for purposes of Tenant’s removal obligations set forth in Paragraph 2.6 above, Landlord
shall be deemed to have made the election at the time the alterations, modifications or
improvements were completed). Landlord, however, may not require Tenant to remove or pay the cost
to remove the Tenant Improvements installed as part of the Improvement Work pursuant to Exhibit B.
All such modifications, alterations or improvements, once so approved, shall be made, constructed
or installed by Tenant at Tenant’s expense (including all permit fees and governmental charges
related thereto), using a licensed contractor first approved by Landlord, in substantial compliance
with the Landlord-approved plans and specifications therefor. All work undertaken by Tenant shall
be done in accordance with all Laws and Restrictions and in a good and workmanlike manner using new
materials of good quality. Tenant shall not commence the making of any such modifications or
alterations or the construction of any such improvements until (i) all required governmental
approvals and permits shall have been obtained, (ii) all requirements regarding insurance imposed
by this Lease have been satisfied, (iii) Tenant shall have given Landlord at least five (5)
business days prior written notice of its intention to commence such work so that Landlord may post
and file notices of non-responsibility, and (iv) if requested by Landlord, Tenant shall have
obtained contingent liability and broad form builder’s risk insurance in an amount satisfactory to
Landlord in its reasonable discretion to cover any perils relating to the proposed work not covered
by insurance carried by Tenant pursuant to Article 9. In no event shall Tenant make any
modification, alterations or improvements whatsoever to the Common Areas or the exterior or
structural components of the Building including, without limitation, any cuts or penetrations in
the floor, roof or exterior walls of the Leased Premises. As used in this Article, the term
“modifications, alterations and/or improvements”
shall include, without limitation, the installation of additional electrical outlets, overhead
lighting fixtures, drains, sinks, partitions, doorways, or the like.
6.2 Ownership Of Improvements. All modifications, alterations and improvements made or
added to the Leased Premises by Tenant (other than Tenant’s inventory, equipment, movable
furniture, wall decorations and trade fixtures) shall be deemed real property and a part of the
Leased Premises, but shall remain the property of Tenant during the Lease, and Tenant hereby
covenants and agrees not to grant a security interest in any such items to any party other than
Landlord. Any such modifications, alterations or improvements, once completed, shall not be
altered or removed from the Leased Premises during the Lease Term without Landlord’s written
approval first obtained in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 6.1 above. At the
expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, all such modifications, alterations and
improvements other than Tenant’s inventory, equipment, movable furniture, wall decorations and
trade fixtures, shall automatically become the property of Landlord and shall be surrendered to
Landlord as part of the Leased Premises as required pursuant to Article 2, unless Landlord shall
require Tenant to remove any of such modifications, alterations or improvements in accordance with
the provisions of Article 2, in which case Tenant shall so remove same. Landlord shall have no
obligations to reimburse Tenant for all or any portion of the cost or value of any such
modifications, alterations or improvements so surrendered to Landlord. All modifications,
alterations or improvements which are installed or constructed on or attached to the Leased
Premises by Landlord and/or at Landlord’s
13.
expense shall be deemed real property and a part of the
Leased Premises and shall be property of Landlord. All lighting, plumbing, electrical, heating,
ventilating and air conditioning fixtures, partitioning, window coverings, wall coverings and floor
coverings installed by Tenant shall be deemed improvements to the Leased Premises and not trade
fixtures of Tenant.
6.3 Alterations Required By Law. Tenant shall make all modifications, alterations and
improvements to the Leased Premises, at its sole cost, that are required by any Law because of (i)
Tenant’s particular use or occupancy of the Leased Premises, the Building, the Common Areas or the
Property, (ii) Tenant’s application for any permit or governmental approval, or (iii) Tenant’s
making of any modifications, alterations or improvements to or within the Leased Premises. If
Landlord shall, at any time during the Lease Term, be required by any governmental authority to
make any modifications, alterations or improvements to the Building or the Property, the cost
incurred by Landlord in making such modifications, alterations or improvements, including interest
at a rate equal to the greater of (a) 10%, or (b) the sum of that rate quoted by Xxxxx Fargo Bank,
N.T. & S. A., from time to time as its prime rate, plus two percent (2%) (“Xxxxx Prime Plus Two”)
(but in no event more than the maximum rate of interest not prohibited or made usurious), shall be
amortized by Landlord over the useful life of such modifications, alterations or improvements, as
determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the monthly amortized
cost of such modifications, alterations and improvements as so amortized shall be considered a
Property Maintenance Cost.
6.4 Liens. Tenant shall keep the Property and every part thereof free from any lien, and
shall pay when due all bills arising out of any work performed, materials furnished, or obligations
incurred by Tenant, its agents, employees or contractors relating to the Property. If any such
claim of lien is recorded against Tenant’s interest in this Lease, the Property or any part
thereof, Tenant shall bond against, discharge or otherwise cause such lien to be entirely released
within ten days after receipt of written notice that the same has been recorded. Tenant’s failure
to do so shall be conclusively deemed a material Default under the terms of this Lease.
ARTICLE 7
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING BY TENANT
7.1 By Tenant. Tenant shall not sublet the Leased Premises or any portion thereof or
assign its interest in this Lease, or permit the occupancy of the Premises by other than Tenant,
whether voluntarily or by operation of Law, without Landlord’s prior written consent which shall
not be unreasonably withheld. Any attempted subletting or assignment, or occupancy of the Leased
Premises by other than Tenant, without Landlord’s prior written consent, at Landlord’s election,
shall constitute a Default by Tenant under the terms of this Lease. The acceptance of rent by
Landlord from any person or entity other than Tenant, or the acceptance of rent by Landlord from
Tenant with knowledge of a violation of the provisions of this paragraph, shall not be deemed to be
a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Article or this Lease or to be a consent to any
subletting by Tenant or any assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Lease. Without limiting the
circumstances in which it may be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to an assignment
or subletting, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold
its consent in the following instances:
(a) the proposed assignee or sublessee is a governmental agency;
(b) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, the use of the Leased Premises by the
proposed assignee or sublessee would involve occupancy by other than for a Permitted Use, would
entail any alterations which would lessen the value of the leasehold improvements in the Leased
Premises, or would require increased services by Landlord;
(c) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, the credit-worthiness of the proposed
assignee is less than that of Tenant or does not meet the credit standards applied by Landlord;
(d) the proposed assignee or sublessee (or any of its affiliates) has been in
material default under a lease, has been in litigation with a previous landlord, or in the ten
years prior to the assignment or sublease has filed for bankruptcy protection, has been the subject
of an involuntary bankruptcy, or has been adjudged insolvent;
(e) Landlord has experienced a previous default by or is in litigation with the
proposed assignee or sublessee;
(f) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, the Leased Premises, or the relevant part
thereof, will be used in a manner that will violate any negative covenant as to use contained in
this Lease;
(g) the use of the Leased Premises by the proposed assignee or sublessee will
violate any applicable law, ordinance or regulation;
14.
(h) the proposed assignee or sublessee is a tenant in the Project and Landlord has
other space available in the Project that is suitable in size and character for such proposed
assignee or sublessee;
(i) the proposed assignment or sublease fails to include all of the terms and
provisions required to be included therein pursuant to this Article 7;
(j) Tenant is in Default (as defined in Paragraph 12.1 below) of any obligation of
Tenant under this Lease, or Tenant has been in Default under this Lease on three or more occasions
during the 12 months preceding the date that Tenant shall request consent; or
(k) in the case of a subletting of less than the entire Leased Premises, if the
subletting would result in the division of the Leased Premises into more than two subparcels or
would require improvements to be made outside of the Leased Premises.
7.2 Merger, Reorganization, or Sale of Assets.
(a) Subject to paragraph (b) below: Any dissolution, merger, consolidation or other
reorganization of Tenant, or the sale or other transfer in the aggregate over the Lease Term of a
controlling percentage of the capital stock of Tenant, or the sale or transfer of all or a
substantial portion of the assets of Tenant, shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of Tenant’s
interest in this Lease. The phrase “controlling percentage” means the ownership of and the right
to vote stock possessing more than fifty percent of the total combined voting power of all classes
of Tenant’s capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote for the election of directors.
If Tenant is a partnership, a withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of Law,
of any general partner, or the dissolution of the partnership, shall be deemed a voluntary
assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Lease. Upon Landlord’s request from time to time, Tenant
shall promptly provide Landlord with a statement certified by the Tenant’s chief operating officer,
which shall provide the following information: (i) the names of all of Tenant’s shareholders and
their ownership interests at the time thereof, provided Tenant’s shares are not publicly traded;
(ii) the state in which Tenant is incorporated; (iii) the location of Tenant’s principal place of
business; (iv) information regarding a material change in the corporate structure of Tenant,
including, without limitation, a merger or consolidation; and (v) any other information regarding
Tenant’s ownership that Landlord reasonably requests. In the event of an acquisition by one entity
of the controlling percentage of the capital stock of Tenant where this Lease is not assigned to
and assumed in full by such entity, it shall be a condition to Landlord’s consent to such change in
control that such entity acquiring the controlling percentage assume, as a primary obligor, all
rights and obligations of Tenant under this Lease (and such entity shall execute all documents
reasonably required to effectuate such assumption).
(b) Notwithstanding subparagraph (a) above, over-the-counter stock market
transactions shall not be deemed to be assignments under this Lease. In addition, provided that the
conditions described below in this sentence have been satisfied prior to or upon such assignment or
subleasing, Tenant may, without Landlord’s prior written consent, sublet the Leased Premises or
assign this Lease to (i) a subsidiary, affiliate, division, corporation or joint venture
controlling, controlled by or under common control with Tenant, (ii) a successor entity resulting
from a merger, consolidation, or nonbankruptcy reorganization by Tenant, or (iii) a purchaser of
substantially all of Tenant’s assets, provided in all cases (i), (ii) and (iii) that (A) the
successor entity, assignee, purchaser or subtenant has a net worth reasonably satisfactory to meet
the obligations being assumed, and assumes in writing for the benefit of Landlord, this Lease and
all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, and (B) the entity with the greatest net worth
involved directly or
indirectly in the ownership and/or control of the acquiring, merged, reorganized, or
consolidated entity (hereafter, the “Assignee Affiliate”) shall have unconditionally assumed in
writing or guaranteed for the benefit of Landlord, in a form acceptable to Landlord, this Lease and
all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. If any assignment or subleasing occurs without such
an assumption and/or without Landlord’s consent as provided in Paragraph 7.1 above, Tenant shall be
deemed for all purposes to be in material Default under this Lease and the Assignee Affiliate (and
the successor entity, assignee, purchaser or subtenant) shall for all purposes be deemed to have
unconditionally assumed in writing for the benefit of Landlord, this Lease and all of Tenant’s
obligations under this Lease. In all events, Tenant shall remain fully liable under this Lease.
7.3 Landlord’s Election. If Tenant shall desire to assign its interest under the Lease or
to sublet the Leased Premises, Tenant must first notify Landlord, in writing, of its intent to so
assign or sublet, at least thirty (30) days in advance of taking any action with respect thereto.
Once Tenant (or Landlord or both pursuant to the joint marketing election described below) has
identified a potential assignee or sublessee, Tenant shall notify Landlord, in writing, of its
intent to so assign or sublet, at least thirty (30) 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 sublessee, the proposed assignee’s or
sublessee’s intended use of the Leased Premises, current financial statements (including a balance
sheet, income statement and statement of cash flow, all prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles) of such proposed assignee or sublessee, the form of documents to be
used in effectuating such assignment or subletting and such other information as Landlord may
15.
reasonably request. Landlord shall have a period of ten (10) business days following receipt of
such notice and the required information within which to do one of the following: (i) consent to
such requested assignment or subletting subject to Tenant’s compliance with the conditions set
forth in Paragraph 7.4 below, or (ii) refuse to so consent to such requested assignment or
subletting, provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably refused, or (iii) in the event of
an assignment of the Lease or a sublease of more than 75% of the Leased Premises, terminate this
Lease as to the entirety of the Leased Premises, or, at Landlord’s sole option, as to only such
portion of the Leased Premises as is the subject of the proposed assignment or subletting (such
termination to be effective either (A) on the date specified in Tenant’s notice as the intended
effective date of the assignment or subletting, or (B) on such tenth (10th) business day
after receipt of Tenant’s notice, at Landlord’s option). During such ten (10) business 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 sublessee. In the event of an election by Landlord under clause
(iii) above, Landlord shall have the right to enter into a direct lease with the proposed assignee
or sublessee without payment of any consideration to Tenant. In addition, in the event Tenant
desires to sublease all or a portion of the Leased Premises, Landlord shall have the right to elect
to jointly market with Tenant the applicable portion (including all) of the Leased Premises for
subleasing and/or direct leasing, such joint marketing election to be made, if at all, in writing
and delivered to Tenant during the thirty (30) day period described in the first sentence of this
Paragraph 7.3.
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 or
subletting, such consent shall be expressly conditioned upon the occurrence of each of the
conditions below set forth, and any purported assignment or subletting 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 or subletting 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 or sublessee. The conditions are as follows:
(a) Landlord having approved in form and substance the assignment or sublease
agreement and any ancillary documents, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld by
Landlord if the requirements of this Article 7 are otherwise complied with.
(b) Each such sublessee 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 which relate to space being subleased.
(c) Tenant not being in Default of its obligations under the terms of this Lease.
(d) Tenant having reimbursed to Landlord all reasonable costs and reasonable
attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord in conjunction with the processing and documentation of any
such requested subletting or assignment. Tenant shall be obligated to so reimburse Landlord whether
or not such subletting or assignment is completed.
(e) Tenant having delivered to Landlord a complete and fully-executed duplicate
original of such sublease agreement or assignment agreement (as applicable) and all related
agreements.
(f) Tenant having paid, or having agreed in writing to pay as to future payments, to
Landlord fifty percent (50%) 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:
(i) 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 fifty
percent (50%) of the assignment consideration so paid or to be paid (whichever is the greater) at
the time of the assignment by the assignee; or
(ii) 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 fifty percent (50%) of all such future assignment consideration
installments to be paid by such assignee as and when such assignment consideration is so paid.
(iii) If Tenant subleases the Leased Premises, that Tenant and Tenant’s sublessee
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 sublessee jointly agree to pay to Landlord
fifty percent (50%) of all excess rentals to be paid by such sublessee.
16.
7.5 Assignment Consideration And Excess Rentals Defined. For purposes of this Article,
including any amendment to this Article by way of addendum or other writing: (i) the term
“assignment consideration” shall mean all consideration to be paid by the assignee to Tenant or to
any other party on Tenant’s behalf or for Tenant’s benefit as consideration for such assignment,
without deduction for any legal fees, tenant improvement, and other costs paid by Tenant or
incurred by Tenant in connection with such assignment, excepting only market rate leasing
commissions, which may be deducted on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of this Lease
from and after the date of the assignment, and (ii) the term “excess rentals” shall mean all
consideration to be paid by the sublessee to Tenant or to any other party on Tenant’s behalf or for
Tenant’s benefit for the sublease of all or any portion of the Leased Premises in excess of the
rent due to Landlord under the terms of this Lease for the portion so subleased for the same
period, without deduction for any legal fees, tenant improvement, and other costs paid by Tenant or
incurred by Tenant in connection with such sublease, excepting only market rate leasing
commissions, which may be deducted on a straight-line basis over the term of the sublease. 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 sublessee
makes each such payment to Landlord, Tenant or Tenant’s assignee or sublessee, 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 (or services provided) 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. If Tenant shall breach this covenant, Landlord
may immediately declare Tenant to be in Default under the terms of this Lease and terminate this
Lease and/or exercise any other rights and remedies Landlord would have under the terms of this
Lease in the case of a material Default by Tenant under this Lease.
7.8 Effect Of Landlord’s Consent. No subletting or assignment, even with the consent of
Landlord, shall relieve Tenant of its personal and primary obligation to pay rent and to perform
all of the other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. Consent by Landlord to one or
more assignments 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 or subletting. No
subtenant shall have any right to assign its sublease or to further sublet any portion of the
sublet premises or to permit any portion of the sublet premises to be used or occupied by any other
party. No sublease may be terminated or modified without Landlord’s prior written consent. 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 by a court of
competent jurisdiction over the objection of Landlord, such assignment or subletting shall not be
binding between the assignee (or sublessee) and Landlord until such time as all conditions set
forth in Paragraph
7.4 above have been fully satisfied (to the extent not then satisfied) by the assignee or
sublessee, including, without limitation, the payment to Landlord of all agreed assignment
considerations and/or excess rentals then due Landlord. Upon a Default while a sublease is in
effect, Landlord may collect directly from the sublessee all sums becoming due to Tenant under the
sublease and apply this amount against any sums due Landlord by Tenant, and Tenant authorizes and
directs any sublessee to make payments directly to Landlord upon notice from Landlord. No direct
collection by Landlord from any sublessee shall constitute a novation or release of Tenant or any
guarantor, a consent to the sublease or a waiver of the covenant prohibiting subleases. Landlord,
as Tenant’s agent, may endorse any check, draft or other instrument payable to Tenant for sums due
under a sublease, and apply the proceeds in accordance with this Lease; this agency is coupled with
an interest and is irrevocable.
ARTICLE 8
LIMITATION ON LANDLORD’S LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY
8.1 Limitation On Landlord’s Liability And Release. Landlord shall not be liable to
Tenant for, and Tenant hereby releases and waives all claims and rights of recovery against
Landlord and its partners, principals, members, officers, agents, employees, lenders, attorneys,
contractors, invitees, consultants, predecessors, successors and assigns (including without
limitation prior and subsequent owners of the Property or portions thereof) (collectively, the
“Landlord Indemnitees”) from, any and all liability, whether in contract, tort or on any other
basis, for any injury to or any damage sustained by Tenant, Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors
or invitees, any damage to Tenant’s property, or any loss to Tenant’s business, loss of Tenant’s
profits or other financial loss of Tenant resulting from or attributable to the condition of, the
management of, the repair or maintenance of, the protection of, the supply of services or utilities
to, the damage in or destruction of the Leased Premises, the Building, the Property or
17.
the Common
Areas, including without limitation (i) the failure, interruption, rationing or other curtailment
or cessation in the supply of electricity, water, gas or other utility service to the Property, the
Building or the Leased Premises; (ii) the vandalism or forcible entry into the Building or the
Leased Premises; (iii) the penetration of water into or onto any portion of the Leased Premises;
(iv) the failure to provide security and/or adequate lighting in or about the Property, the
Building or the Leased Premises, (v) the existence of any design or construction defects within the
Property, the Building or the Leased Premises; (vi) the failure of any mechanical systems to
function properly (such as the HVAC systems); (vii) the blockage of access to any portion of the
Property, the Building or the Leased Premises, except that Tenant does not so release Landlord from
such liability to the extent such damage was proximately caused by Landlord’s gross negligence,
willful misconduct, or Landlord’s failure to perform an obligation expressly undertaken pursuant to
this Lease after a reasonable period of time shall have lapsed following receipt of written notice
from Tenant to so perform such obligation. In this regard, Tenant acknowledges that it is fully
apprised of the provisions of Law relating to releases, and particularly to those provisions
contained in Section 1542 of the California Civil Code which reads as follows:
“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does
not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing
the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his
settlement with the debtor.”
Notwithstanding such statutory provision, and for the purpose of implementing a full and complete
release and discharge, Tenant hereby (i) waives the benefit of such statutory provision and (ii)
acknowledges that, subject to the exceptions specifically set forth herein, the release and
discharge set forth in this paragraph is a full and complete settlement and release and discharge
of all claims and is intended to include in its effect, without limitation, all claims which
Tenant, as of the date hereof, does not know of or suspect to exist in its favor.
8.2 Tenant’s Indemnification Of Landlord. Tenant shall defend with competent counsel
satisfactory to Landlord any claims made or legal actions filed or threatened against the Landlord
Indemnitees with respect to the violation of any Law, or the death, bodily injury, personal injury,
property damage, or interference with contractual or property rights suffered by any third party
occurring within the Leased Premises or resulting from Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Leased
Premises, the Building or the Common Areas, or resulting from Tenant’s activities in or about the
Leased Premises, the Building, the Common Areas or the Property, and Tenant shall indemnify and
hold the Landlord Indemnitees harmless from any loss liability, penalties, or expense whatsoever
(including any loss attributable to vacant space which otherwise would have been leased, but for
such activities) resulting therefrom, except to the extent proximately caused by the negligence or
willful misconduct of Landlord or of any of the Landlord Indemnitees. This indemnity agreement
shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.
ARTICLE 9

following:
(a) Tenant shall procure, pay for and keep in full force and effect, at all times

less than Tenant’s Required Liability Coverage (as set forth in Article 1);
(vii) Workers’ compensation insurance (statutory coverage) with employer’s liability

payment by any other insurance coverage of Landlord; (iv) shall be in a commercially reasonable
form satisfactory to Landlord; (v) shall be carried with companies reasonably acceptable to
Landlord with Best’s ratings of at least A- and VIII; (vi) shall provide that such policy shall not
be subject to cancellation, lapse or change except after at least thirty (30) days prior written
notice to Landlord, and (vii) shall contain a so-called “severability” or “cross liability”
endorsement. Each policy of property insurance maintained by Tenant with respect to the Leased
Premises or the Property or any property therein (i) shall provide that such policy shall not be
subject to cancellation, lapse or change except after at least thirty (30) days prior written
notice to Landlord and (ii) shall contain a waiver and/or a permission to waive by the insurer of
any right of subrogation against Landlord, its partners, principals, members, officers, employees,
agents and contractors, which might arise by reason of any payment under such policy or by reason
of any act or omission of Landlord, its partners, principals, members, officers, employees, agents
and contractors.
(c) Prior to the time Tenant or any of its contractors enters the Leased Premises,
Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, with respect to each policy of insurance required to be carried
by Tenant pursuant to this Article, a copy of such policy (appropriately authenticated by the
insurer as having been issued, premium paid) or a certificate of the insurer certifying in form
satisfactory to Landlord that a policy has been issued, premium paid, providing the coverage
required by this Paragraph and containing the
provisions specified herein. With respect to each renewal or replacement of any such
insurance, the requirements of this Paragraph must be complied with not less than thirty days prior
to the expiration or cancellation of the policies being renewed or replaced. Landlord may, at any
time and from time to time, inspect and/or copy any and all insurance policies required to be
carried by Tenant pursuant to this Article. If Landlord’s Lender, insurance broker, advisor or
counsel reasonably determines at any time that the amount of coverage set forth in Paragraph 9.1(a)
for any policy of insurance Tenant is required to carry pursuant to this Article is not adequate,
then Tenant shall increase the amount of coverage for such insurance to such greater amount as
Landlord’s Lender, insurance broker, advisor or counsel reasonably deems adequate. In the event
Tenant does not maintain said insurance, Landlord may, in its sole discretion and without waiving
any other remedies hereunder, procure said insurance and Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional
rent the cost of said insurance plus a ten percent (10%) administrative fee.
9.2 Landlord’s Insurance. With respect to insurance maintained by Landlord:
(a) Landlord shall maintain, as the minimum coverage required of it by this Lease,
fire and property damage insurance in so-called special form coverage insuring Landlord (and such
others as Landlord may designate) against loss from physical damage to the Building with coverage
of not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the full actual replacement cost thereof and against
loss of rents for a period of not less than six months. Such fire and property damage insurance,
at Landlord’s election but without any requirements on Landlord’s behalf to do so, (i) may be
written in so-called “all risk” form, excluding only those perils commonly excluded from such
coverage by Landlord’s then property damage insurer; (ii) may provide coverage for physical damage
to the improvements so insured for up to the entire full actual replacement cost thereof; (iii) may
be endorsed to cover loss or damage caused by any additional perils against which Landlord may
elect to insure, including earthquake and/or flood; and/or (iv) may provide coverage for loss of
rents for a period of up to twelve months. Landlord shall not be required to cause such insurance
to cover any of Tenant’s personal property, inventory, and trade fixtures, or any modifications,
alterations or improvements made or constructed by Tenant to or within the Leased Premises.
Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such insurance at competitive rates.
(b) Landlord shall maintain commercial general liability insurance insuring Landlord
(and such others as are designated by Landlord) against liability for personal injury, bodily
injury, death, and
19.
damage to property occurring in, on or about, or resulting from the use or
occupancy of the Property, or any portion thereof, with combined single limit coverage of at least
Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000). Landlord may carry such greater coverage as Landlord or
Landlord’s Lender, insurance broker, advisor or counsel may from time to time determine is
reasonably necessary for the adequate protection of Landlord and the Property.
(c) Landlord may maintain any other insurance which in the opinion of its insurance
broker, advisor or legal counsel is prudent to carry under the given circumstances, provided such
insurance is commonly carried by owners of property similarly situated and operating under similar
circumstances.
9.3 Mutual Waiver Of Subrogation. Landlord hereby releases Tenant, and Tenant hereby
releases Landlord and its respective partners, principals, members, officers, agents, employees and
servants, from any and all liability for loss, damage or injury to the property of the other in or
about the Leased Premises or the Property which is caused by or results from a peril or event or
happening which is covered by insurance actually carried and in force at the time of the loss by
the party sustaining such loss; provided, however, that such waiver shall be effective only to the
extent permitted by the insurance covering such loss and to the extent such insurance is not
prejudiced thereby.
ARTICLE 10
DAMAGE TO LEASED PREMISES
10.1 Landlord’s Duty To Restore. If the Leased Premises, the Building or the Common Area
are damaged by any peril after the Effective Date of this Lease, Landlord shall restore the same,
as and when required by this paragraph, unless this Lease is terminated by Landlord pursuant to
Paragraph 10.3 or by Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 10.4. If this Lease is not so terminated, then
upon the issuance of all necessary governmental permits, Landlord shall commence and diligently
prosecute to completion the restoration of the Leased Premises, the Building or the Common Area, as
the case may be, to the extent then allowed by law, to substantially the same condition in which it
existed as of the Lease Commencement Date. Landlord’s obligation to restore shall be limited to
the improvements constructed by Landlord. Landlord shall have no obligation to restore any
alterations, modifications or improvements made by Tenant to the Leased Premises or any of Tenant’s
personal property, inventory or trade fixtures. Upon completion of the restoration by Landlord,
Tenant
shall forthwith replace or fully repair all of Tenant’s personal property, inventory, trade
fixtures and other improvements constructed by Tenant to like or similar conditions as existed at
the time immediately prior to such damage or destruction.
10.2 Insurance Proceeds. All insurance proceeds available from the fire and property
damage insurance carried by Landlord shall be paid to and become the property of Landlord. If this
Lease is terminated pursuant to either Paragraph 10.3 or 10.4, all insurance proceeds available
from insurance carried by Tenant which cover loss of property that is Landlord’s property or would
become Landlord’s property on termination of this Lease shall be paid to and become the property of
Landlord, and the remainder of such proceeds shall be paid to and become the property of Tenant.
If this Lease is not terminated pursuant to either Paragraph 10.3 or 10.4, all insurance proceeds
available from insurance carried by Tenant which cover loss to property that is Landlord’s property
shall be paid to and become the property of Landlord, and all proceeds available from such
insurance which cover loss to property which would only become the property of Landlord upon the
termination of this Lease shall be paid to and remain the property of Tenant. The determination of
Landlord’s property and Tenant’s property shall be made pursuant to Paragraph 6.2.
10.3 Landlord’s Right To Terminate. Landlord shall have the option to terminate this
Lease in the event any of the following occurs, which option may be exercised only by delivery to
Tenant of a written notice of election to terminate within thirty days after the date of such
damage or destruction:
(a) The Building is damaged by any peril covered by valid and collectible insurance
actually carried by Landlord and in force at the time of such damage or destruction (an “insured
peril”) to such an extent that the estimated cost to restore the Building exceeds the lesser of (i)
the insurance proceeds available from insurance actually carried by Landlord, or (ii) fifty percent
of the then actual replacement cost thereof;
(b) The Building is damaged by an uninsured peril, which peril Landlord was not
required to insure against pursuant to the provisions of Article 9 of this Lease.
(c) The Building is damaged by any peril and, because of the laws then in force, the
Building (i) cannot be restored at reasonable cost or (ii) if restored, cannot be used for the same
use being made thereof before such damage.
10.4 Tenant’s Right To Terminate. If the Leased Premises, the Building or the Common
Area are damaged by any peril and Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease or is not
entitled to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Article, then as soon as reasonably practicable,
Landlord shall furnish Tenant
20.
with the written opinion of The Architect or construction consultant
as to when the restoration work required of Landlord may be complete. Tenant shall have the option
to terminate this Lease (if Tenant is not then in Default) in the event any of the following
occurs, which option may be exercised only by delivery to Landlord of a written notice of election
to terminate within seven days after Tenant receives from Landlord the written estimate of the time
needed to complete such restoration, which written notice of election to terminate shall specify a
termination date not more than sixty (60) nor fewer than ten (10) days after Tenant’s receipt of
such written estimate:
(a) If the time estimated to substantially complete the restoration exceeds nine
months from and after the date the architect’s or construction consultant’s written opinion is
delivered to Landlord; or
(b) If the damage occurred within twelve months of the last day of the Lease Term
and the time estimated to substantially complete the restoration exceeds one hundred twenty days
from and after the date such restoration is commenced.
10.5 Tenant’s Waiver. Landlord and Tenant agree that the provisions of Paragraph 10.4
above, captioned “Tenant’s Right To Terminate”, are intended to supersede and replace the
provisions contained in California Civil Code, Section 1932, Subdivision 2, and California Civil
Code, Section 1933, and accordingly, Tenant hereby waives the provisions of such Civil Code
Sections and the provisions of any successor Civil Code Sections or similar laws hereinafter
enacted.
10.6 Abatement Of Rent. In the event of damage to the Leased Premises which does not
result in the termination of this Lease, the Base Monthly Rent (and any Additional Rent) shall: (a)
not abated during the period of restoration until such time as the business income/extra expense
insurance carried by Tenant has been exhausted with respect to such damage, and (b) thereafter
until the restoration is complete, be abated during the remaining period of restoration in
proportion in the degree to which Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises is impaired by such damage.
ARTICLE 11
CONDEMNATION
11.1 Tenant’s Right To Terminate. Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 11.4 below
regarding temporary takings, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease if, as a result
of any taking, (i) all of the Leased Premises is taken, or (ii) twenty-five percent (25%) or more
of the Leased Premises is taken and the part of the Leased Premises that remains cannot, within a
reasonable period of time, be made reasonably suitable for the continued operation of Tenant’s
business. Tenant must exercise such option within a reasonable period of time, to be effective on
the later to occur of (i) the date that possession of that portion of the Leased Premises that is
condemned is taken by the condemnor or (ii) the date Tenant vacated the Leased Premises.
11.2 Landlord’s Right To Terminate. Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 11.4 below
regarding temporary takings, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease if, as a result
of any taking, (i) all of the Leased Premises is taken, (ii) twenty-five percent (25%) or more of
the Leased Premises is taken and the part of the Leased Premises that remains cannot, within a
reasonable period of time, be made reasonably suitable for the continued operation of Tenant’s
business, or (iii) because of the laws then in force, the Leased Premises may not be used for the
same use being made before such taking, whether or not restored as required by Paragraph 11.3
below. Any such option to terminate by Landlord must be exercised within a reasonable period of
time, to be effective as of the date possession is taken by the condemnor.
11.3 Restoration. If any part of the Leased Premises or the Building is taken and this
Lease is not terminated, then Landlord shall, to the extent not prohibited by laws then in force,
repair any damage occasioned thereby to the remainder thereof to a condition reasonably suitable
for Tenant’s continued operations and otherwise, to the extent practicable, in the manner and to
the extent provided in Paragraph 10.1.
11.4 Temporary Taking. If a material portion of the Leased Premises is temporarily taken
for a period of one year or less and such period does not extend beyond the Lease Expiration Date,
this Lease shall remain in effect. If any material portion of the Leased Premises is temporarily
taken for a period which exceeds one year or which extends beyond the Lease Expiration Date, then
the rights of Landlord and Tenant shall be determined in accordance with Paragraphs 11.1 and 11.2
above.
11.5 Division Of Condemnation Award. Any award made for any taking of the Property, the
Building, or the Leased Premises, or any portion thereof, shall belong to and be paid to Landlord,
and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of its right, title and interest in any such award;
provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to receive any portion of the award that is made
specifically (i) for the taking of personal property, inventory or trade fixtures belonging to
Tenant, (ii) for the interruption of Tenant’s business or its moving costs, or (iii) for the value
of any leasehold improvements installed and paid for by
21.
Tenant. The rights of Landlord and Tenant
regarding any condemnation shall be determined as provided in this Article, and each party hereby
waives the provisions of Section 1265.130 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, and the
provisions of any similar law hereinafter enacted, allowing either party to petition the Supreme
Court to terminate this Lease and/or otherwise allocate condemnation awards between Landlord and
Tenant in the event of a taking of the Leased Premises.
11.6 Abatement Of Rent. In the event of a taking of the Leased Premises which does not
result in a termination of this Lease (other than a temporary taking), then, as of the date
possession is taken by the condemning authority, the Base Monthly Rent shall be reduced in the same
proportion that the area of that part of the Leased Premises so taken (less any addition to the
area of the Leased Premises by reason of any reconstruction) bears to the area of the Leased
Premises immediately prior to such taking.
11.7 Taking Defined. The term “taking” or “taken” as used in this Article 11 shall mean
any transfer or conveyance of all or any portion of the Property to a public or quasi-public agency
or other entity having the power of eminent domain pursuant to or as a result of the exercise of
such power by such an agency, including any inverse condemnation and/or any sale or transfer by
Landlord of all or any portion of the Property to such an agency under threat of condemnation or
the exercise of such power.
ARTICLE 12
DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
12.1 Events Of Tenant’s Default. Tenant shall be in “Default” of its obligations under
this Lease if any of the following events occur:
(a) Tenant shall have failed to pay Base Monthly Rent or any Additional Rent when
due and such failure continues for more than three (3) days following written notice from Landlord
which notice shall serve as the notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section
1161 or otherwise required by law; or
(b) Tenant shall have done or permitted to be done any act, use or thing in its use,
occupancy or possession of the Leased Premises or the Building or the Outside Areas which is
prohibited by the terms of this Lease, or Tenant shall have failed to perform any term, covenant,
or condition of this Lease (except those requiring the Payment of Base Monthly Rent or Additional
Rent, which failures shall be governed by subparagraph (a) above) and such failure is not cured
within thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant specifying the nature of such
failure and requesting Tenant to cure the same, or within such longer period as is reasonably
required in the event such failure is curable but not within such thirty (30) day period, provided
such cure is promptly commenced within such thirty (30) day period and is thereafter diligently
prosecuted to completion; or
(c) Tenant shall have sublet the Leased Premises or assigned or encumbered its
interest in this Lease in violation of the provisions contained in Article 7, whether voluntarily
or by operation of law; or
(d) Tenant shall have abandoned the Leased Premises; or
(e) Tenant or any Guarantor of this Lease shall have permitted or suffered the
sequestration or attachment of, or execution on, or the appointment of a custodian or receiver with
respect to, all or any substantial part of the property or assets of Tenant (or such Guarantor) or
any property or asset essential to the conduct of Tenant’s (or such Guarantor’s) business, and
Tenant (or such Guarantor) shall have failed to obtain a return or release of the same within
thirty days thereafter, or prior to sale pursuant to such sequestration, attachment or levy,
whichever is earlier; or
(f) Tenant or any Guarantor of this Lease shall have made a general assignment of
all or a substantial part of its assets for the benefit of its creditors; or
(g) Tenant or any Guarantor of this Lease shall have allowed (or sought) to have
entered against it a decree or order which: (i) grants or constitutes an order for relief,
appointment of a trustee, or condemnation or a reorganization plan under the bankruptcy laws of the
United States; (ii) approves as properly filed a petition seeking liquidation or reorganization
under said bankruptcy laws or any other debtor’s relief law or similar statute of the United States
or any state thereof; or (iii) otherwise directs the winding up or liquidation of Tenant; provided,
however, if any decree or order was entered without Tenant’s consent or over Tenant’s objection,
Landlord may not terminate this Lease pursuant to this Subparagraph if such decree or order is
rescinded or reversed within thirty days after its original entry; or
(h) Tenant or any Guarantor of this Lease shall have availed itself of the
protection of any debtor’s relief law, moratorium law or other similar law which does not require
the prior entry of a decree or order.
(i) Tenant shall have committed an “Event of Default” under the Existing Lease.
22.
12.2 Landlord’s Remedies. In the event of any Default by Tenant, and without limiting
Landlord’s right to indemnification as provided in Article 8.2, Landlord shall have the following
remedies, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by law or otherwise provided in
this Lease, to which Landlord may resort cumulatively, or in the alternative:
(a) Landlord may, at Landlord’s election, keep this Lease in effect and enforce, by
an action at law or in equity, all of its rights and remedies under this Lease including, without
limitation, (i) the right to recover the rent and other sums as they become due by appropriate
legal action, (ii) the right to make payments required by Tenant, or perform Tenant’s obligations
and be reimbursed by Tenant for the cost thereof with interest at the then maximum rate of interest
not prohibited by law from the date the sum is paid by Landlord until Landlord is reimbursed by
Tenant, and (iii) the remedies of injunctive relief and specific performance to prevent Tenant from
violating the terms of this Lease and/or to compel Tenant to perform its obligations under this
Lease, as the case may be.
(b) Landlord may, at Landlord’s election, terminate this Lease by giving Tenant
written notice of termination, in which event this Lease shall terminate on the date set forth for
termination in such notice, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Leased Premises
to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy
which it may have for possession or arrearages in rent, enter upon and take possession of the
Leased Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Leased
Premises or any part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim or damages
therefor. Any termination under this subparagraph shall not relieve Tenant from its obligation to
pay to Landlord all Base Monthly Rent and Additional Rent then or thereafter due, or any other sums
due or thereafter accruing to Landlord, or from any claim against Tenant for damages previously
accrued or then or thereafter accruing. In no event shall any one or more of the following actions
by Landlord, in the absence of a written election by Landlord to terminate this Lease constitute a
termination of this Lease:
(i) Appointment of a receiver or keeper in order to protect Landlord’s interest
hereunder;
(ii) Consent to any subletting of the Leased Premises or assignment of this Lease by
Tenant, whether pursuant to the provisions hereof or otherwise; or
(iii) Any action taken by Landlord or its partners, principals, members, officers,
agents, employees, or servants, which is intended to mitigate the adverse effects of any breach of
this Lease by Tenant, including, without limitation, any action taken to maintain and preserve the
Leased Premises on any action taken to relet the Leased Premises or any portion thereof for the
account at Tenant and in the name of Tenant.
(c) In the event Tenant breaches this Lease and abandons the Leased Premises,
Landlord may terminate this Lease, but this Lease shall not terminate unless Landlord gives Tenant
written notice of termination. If Landlord does not terminate this Lease by giving written notice
of termination, Landlord may enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the
right and remedies provided by California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (“lessor may continue lease in
effect after lessee’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has
right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations”), as in effect on the Effective
Date of this Lease.
(d) In the event Landlord terminates this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled, at
Landlord’s election, to the rights and remedies provided in California Civil Code Section 1951.2,
as in effect on the Effective Date of this Lease. For purposes of computing damages pursuant to
Section 1951.2, an interest rate equal to the maximum rate of interest then not prohibited by law
shall be used where permitted. Such damages shall include, without limitation:
(i) The worth at the time of the award of the unpaid rent which had been earned at
the time of termination;
(ii) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which
would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental
loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided;
(iii) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the
balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant
proves could be reasonably avoided, 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;
(iv) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately
caused by Tenant’s failure to perform Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, or which in the
ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including without limitation, the
following: (i) expenses for cleaning, repairing or restoring the Leased Premises, (ii) expenses
for altering, remodeling or otherwise improving the Leased Premises for the purpose of reletting,
including removal of
23.
existing leasehold improvements and/or installation of additional leasehold
improvements (regardless of how the same is funded, including reduction of rent, a direct payment
or allowance to a new tenant, or otherwise), (iii) broker’s fees allocable to the remainder of the
term of this Lease, advertising costs and other expenses of reletting the Leased Premises; (iv)
costs of carrying and maintaining the Leased Premises, such as taxes, insurance premiums, utility
charges and security precautions, (v) expenses incurred in removing, disposing of and/or storing
any of Tenant’s personal property, inventory or trade fixtures remaining therein; (vi) reasonable
attorney’s fees, expert witness fees, court costs and other reasonable expenses incurred by
Landlord (but not limited to taxable costs) in retaking possession of the Leased Premises,
establishing damages hereunder, and releasing the Leased Premises; and (vii) any other expenses,
costs or damages otherwise incurred or suffered as a result of Tenant’s Default; and
(v) The unamortized amount of any tenant improvement or similar allowance paid or
credited by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to this Lease or the Work Letter.
(e) Pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161.1, Landlord may
accept a partial payment of Rent after serving a notice pursuant to California Code of Civil
Procedure Section 1161, and may without further notice to the Tenant, commence and pursue an action
to recover the difference between the amount demanded in that notice and the payment actually
received. This acceptance of such a partial payment of Rent does not constitute a waiver of any
rights, including any right the Landlord may have to recover possession of the Leased Premises.
12.3 Landlord’s Default And Tenant’s Remedies. In the event Landlord fails to perform
its obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall nevertheless not be in default under the terms of
this Lease until such time as Tenant shall have first given Landlord written notice specifying the
nature of such failure to perform its obligations, and then only after Landlord shall have had
thirty (30) days following its receipt of such notice within which to perform such obligations;
provided that, if longer than thirty (30) days is reasonably required in order to perform such
obligations, Landlord shall have such longer period. In the event of Landlord’s default as above
set forth, then, and only then, 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).
12.4 Limitation Of Tenant’s Recourse. Tenant’s sole recourse against Landlord shall be
to Landlord’s interest in the Building and the Common Areas. If Landlord is a corporation, trust,
partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, 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, managers, owners, stockholders, or other principals of such business entity, and (ii)
Tenant shall have recourse only to the interest of such corporation, trust, partnership, joint
venture, limited liability company, unincorporated association, or other form of business entity in
the Building and the Common Areas for the satisfaction of such obligations and not against the
assets of such officers, directors, trustees, partners, joint venturers, members, managers, owners,
stockholders or principals. Additionally, if Landlord is a partnership or limited liability
company, then Tenant covenants and agrees:
(a) No partner, manager, or member of Landlord shall be sued or named as a party in
any suit or action brought by Tenant with respect to any alleged breach of this Lease (except to
the extent necessary to secure jurisdiction over the partnership or limited liability company and
then only for that sole purpose);
(b) No service of process shall be made against any partner, manager, or member of
Landlord except for the sole purpose of securing jurisdiction over the partnership; and
(c) No writ of execution will ever be levied against the assets of any partner,
manager, or member of Landlord other than to the extent of his or her interest in the assets of the
partnership or limited liability company constituting Landlord.
Tenant further agrees that each of the foregoing covenants and agreements shall be enforceable by
Landlord and by any partner or member of Landlord and shall be applicable to any actual or alleged
misrepresentation or nondisclosure made regarding this Lease or the Leased Premises or any actual
or alleged failure, default or breach of any covenant or agreement either expressly or implicitly
contained in this Lease or imposed by statute or at common law.
12.5 Tenant’s Waiver. Landlord and Tenant agree that the provisions of Paragraph 12.3
above are intended to supersede and replace the provisions of California Civil Code Sections
1932(1), 1941 and 1942, and accordingly, Tenant hereby waives the provisions of California Civil
Code Sections 1932(1), 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.
24.
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, caused 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 Common Areas, improvements made
by Landlord for Tenant’s use within the Leased Premises or the Common 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 (collectively,
“Tenant’s Interest”). 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 Tenant’s
Interest, regardless of the validity thereof, Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to
pay such taxes, and if not paid and satisfactory evidence of payment delivered to Landlord at least
ten days prior to delinquency, then Landlord shall have the right to pay such taxes on Tenant’s
behalf and to invoice Tenant for the same, in either case whether before or after the expiration or
earlier termination of the Lease Term. Tenant shall, within the earlier to occur of (a) thirty
(30) days of the date it receives an invoice from Landlord setting forth the amount of such taxes,
assessments, fees, or public charge so levied, or (b) the due date of such invoice, pay to
Landlord, as Additional Rent, the amount set forth in such invoice. Failure by Tenant to pay the
amount so invoiced within such time period shall be conclusively deemed a Default by Tenant under
this Lease. Tenant shall have the right to bring suit in any court of competent jurisdiction to
recover from the taxing authority the amount of any such taxes, assessments, fees or public charges
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 Paragraph. 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 (150%) of the
Base Monthly Rent payable during the last full month immediately preceding such holding over.
Without limiting the foregoing, in the event of a holding over to which Landlord has consented, any
rights of Landlord or obligations of Tenant set forth in this Lease and purporting to apply during
the term of this Lease, shall nonetheless also be deemed to apply during any such hold over period.
Tenant acknowledges that if Tenant holds over without Landlord’s consent, such holding over may
compromise or otherwise affect Landlord’s ability to enter into new leases with prospective tenants
regarding the Leased Premises. Therefore, if Tenant fails to surrender the Leased Premises upon the
expiration or termination of this Lease, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing
therefrom, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against all
claims resulting from such failure, including, without limiting the foregoing, any claims made by
any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to surrender, and any losses suffered by Landlord,
including lost profits, resulting from such failure to surrender.
13.3 Subordination To Mortgages. This Lease is subject to and subordinate to all 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 customary or
reasonable documents or instruments which Landlord and such lessor or lender deems 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 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 agrees not to disturb Tenant’s quiet possession of the Leased
Premises so long as Tenant is not in Default under this Lease. Tenant’s failure to execute and
deliver such documents or instruments within ten business days after Landlord’s request therefor
shall be a material Default by Tenant under this Lease, and no further notice shall be required
under Paragraph 12.1(c) or any other provision of 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, it being agreed and understood by Tenant that
25.
Tenant’s failure to so
deliver such documents or instruments 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. If Landlord assigns the Lease as security for a loan, Tenant agrees to
execute such documents as are reasonably requested by the lender and to provide reasonable
provisions in the Lease protecting such lender’s security interest which are customarily required
by institutional lenders making loans secured by a deed of trust, which may include, but shall not
be limited to, those provisions listed on Exhibit C attached hereto. Upon the written request of
Tenant, Landlord agrees to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to have Landlord’s Lender or
ground lessor provide a subordination, nondisturbance, and attornment agreement for Tenant’s review
and execution. In the event Tenant desires to have
changes made in such document, Landlord agrees to request such changes of its Lender or ground
lessor, but Tenant shall be responsible for and shall promptly pay upon demand, all costs incurred
by Landlord (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees) in connection with the
subordination, nondisturbance, and attornment agreement from and after delivery of the initial
draft thereof for Tenant’s review and execution.
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 instruments encumbering the Building or 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 an 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 Certificate. Tenant will, following any request by Landlord, promptly
execute and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate substantially in form attached as Exhibit
D, (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, investors or purchasers of the Building or the Property. Tenant’s failure to
execute and deliver such estoppel certificate within ten business days after Landlord’s request
therefor shall be a material Default by Tenant under this Lease, and no further notice shall be
required under Paragraph 12.1(c) or any other provision of 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, 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 paragraph may be relied upon by any Lender or purchaser or prospective Lender or
purchaser of the Building, the Property, or any interest in them.
13.7 Tenant’s Financial Information. Tenant shall, within ten business days after
Landlord’s request therefor, deliver to Landlord a copy of Tenant’s (and any guarantor’s) current
financial statements (including a balance sheet, income statement and statement of cash flow, all
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), a list of all of Tenant’s
creditors with current contact information (but only if Tenant is in Default under this Lease at
the time of such request by Landlord), and any such other information reasonably requested by
Landlord regarding Tenant’s financial condition. 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 paragraph, unless the same becomes a part of the public domain
without the fault of Landlord.
13.8 Transfer By Landlord. Landlord and its successors 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, the Landlord originally named herein (and
in the case of any subsequent transfer, the transferor), from the date of such transfer, shall be
automatically relieved, without any further act by any person or entity, of all liability for (i)
the performance of the obligations of the Landlord hereunder which may accrue after the date of
such transfer, and (ii) repayment of any unapplied portion of
26.
the Security Deposit (upon
transferring or crediting the same to the transferee), and (iii) 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. 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. Any prevention, delay or stoppage due to strikes, lockouts, labor
disputes, acts of God, acts of war, terrorist acts, inability to obtain services, labor,
or materials or reasonable substitutes therefor, governmental actions, civil commotions, fire or
other casualty, and other causes beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform,
except with respect to the obligations imposed with regard to Rent and other charges to be paid by
Tenant pursuant to this Lease (collectively, a “Force Majeure”), notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Lease, shall excuse the performance of such party for a period equal to
any such prevention, delay or stoppage and, therefore, if this Lease specifies a time period for
performance of an obligation of either party, that time period shall be extended by the period of
any delay in such party’s performance caused by a Force Majeure.
13.10 Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Lease other than
statutory notices shall be in writing and (i) personally delivered, (ii) sent by United States
mail, registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, (iii) sent by
Federal Express or similar nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) transmitted by
facsimile with a hard copy sent within one (1) business day by any of the foregoing means, and in
all cases addressed as follows, and such notice shall be deemed to have been given upon the date of
actual receipt or delivery (or refusal to accept delivery) at the address specified below (or such
other addresses as may be specified by notice in the foregoing manner) as indicated on the return
receipt or air xxxx:

with the applicable statute or as otherwise provided by law.
13.11 Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. In the event any party shall bring any action,
arbitration, or other proceeding alleging a breach of any provision of this Lease, or a right to
recover rent, to terminate this Lease, or to enforce, protect, interpret, determine, or establish
any provision of this Lease or the 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 reasonable
disbursements, made or 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 wherever 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:
(a) Real Property Taxes. The term “Real Property Tax” or “Real Property Taxes”
shall each mean the following (to the extent applicable to any portion of the Lease Term,
regardless of when the same are imposed, assessed, levied, or otherwise charged): (i) all taxes,
assessments, levies and other charges of any kind or nature whatsoever, general and special,
foreseen and unforeseen (including all installments of principal and interest required to pay any
general or special assessments for public improvements and any increases resulting from
reassessments caused by any change in ownership or new construction), now or hereafter imposed by
any governmental or quasi-governmental authority or special district having the direct or indirect
power to tax or levy assessments, which are levied or assessed for
27.
whatever reason against the
Property or any portion thereof, or Landlord’s interest herein, or the fixtures, equipment and
other property of Landlord that is an integral part of the Property and located thereon, or
Landlord’s business of owning, leasing or managing the Property or the gross receipts, income or
rentals from the Property, (ii) all charges, levies or fees imposed by any governmental authority
against Landlord by reason of or based upon the use of or number of parking spaces within the
Property, the amount of public services or public utilities used or consumed
(e.g. water, gas, electricity, sewage or waste water disposal) at the Property, the number of
persons employed by tenants of the Property, the size (whether measured in area, volume, number of
tenants or whatever) or the value of the Property, or the type of use or uses conducted within the
Property, and all costs and fees (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by Landlord in
contesting any Real Property Tax and in negotiating with public authorities as to any Real Property
Tax. If, at any time during the Lease Term, the taxation or assessment of the Property prevailing
as of the Effective Date of this Lease shall be altered so that in lieu of or in addition to any
the Real Property Tax described above there shall be levied, awarded or imposed (whether by reason
of a change in the method of taxation or assessment, creation of a new tax or charge, or any other
cause) an alternate, substitute, or additional use or charge (i) on the value, size, use or
occupancy of the Property or Landlord’s interest therein or (ii) on or measured by the gross
receipts, income or rentals from the Property, or on Landlord’s business of owning, leasing or
managing the Property or (iii) computed in any manner with respect to the operation of the
Property, then any such tax or charge, however designated, shall be included within the meaning of
the terms “Real Property Tax” or “Real Property Taxes” for purposes of this Lease. If any Real
Property Tax is partly based upon property or rents unrelated to the Property, then only that part
of such Real Property Tax that is fairly allocable to the Property shall be included within the
meaning of the terms “Real Property Tax” or “Real Property Taxes.” Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the event Landlord has the right to elect to have assessments amortized over different time
periods, Landlord will elect (or will charge such assessment through to Tenant as if Landlord had
elected) to have such assessment amortized over the longest period permitted by the assessing
authority, and only the amortizing portion of such assessment (with interest at the lesser of ten
percent (10%) per annum or the then maximum rate of interest not prohibited or made usurious by
Law) shall be included in Additional Rent on a monthly basis). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
terms “Real Property Tax” or “Real Property Taxes” shall not include estate, inheritance, transfer,
gift or franchise taxes of Landlord or the federal or state income tax imposed on Landlord’s income
from all sources.
(b) Landlord’s Insurance Costs. The term “Landlord’s Insurance Costs” shall mean
the following (to the extent applicable to any portion of the Lease Term, regardless of when the
same are incurred): the costs to Landlord to carry and maintain the policies of fire and property
damage insurance for the Building and the Property and general liability and any other insurance
required or permitted to be carried by Landlord pursuant to Article 9, together with any deductible
amounts provided that respect to any deductible applied to the cost of capital repairs and
improvements, the inclusion of such deductible shall be subject to the limitation and amortization
provisions of Paragraphs 13.12(c) and 13.12(d). In the event any Landlord’s Insurance Cost relates
to the Property as a whole, then Tenant’s Expense Share with respect to such Landlord’s Insurance
Cost shall be deemed to be the percentage obtained by dividing the rentable square footage of the
Leased Premises at the time of calculation by the rentable square footage of the Property at the
time of calculation. In the event the rentable square footage of the Leased Premises or the
Property is changed, the foregoing deemed Tenant’s Expense Share shall be recalculated so that the
aggregate deemed Tenant’s Expense Share of all tenants of the Property shall equal 100%.
(c) Property Maintenance Costs. The term “Property Maintenance Costs” shall mean
(i) All costs of management, operation, repair and maintenance of the Building,
including, without limitation; wages, salaries and payroll of employees; Building management fees,
janitorial, repairs and maintenance, guard, parking and other services; rent or rental value of
offices used in connection with the management of the Building; improvements made by Landlord to
comply with Laws, power, water, waste disposal and other utilities and services; materials and
supplies; maintenance and repairs; costs for licenses, permits and inspections; insurance premiums
and the deductible portion of any loss insured under Landlord’s liability insurance; costs for
accounting, legal and other professional services incurred in connection with the operation of the
Building and the calculation of Property Maintenance Costs; the reasonable cost of contesting the
validity or applicability of any governmental enactments that may affect the Building; a reasonable
allowance for depreciation on machinery and equipment used to maintain the Building and on other
personal Building used by Landlord in the Building; and any other expense or charge, whether or not
included herein, which in accordance with general accounting and management practices would be
considered an expense of managing, operating, maintaining and repairing the Building.
(ii) The cost of any capital improvements made to the Building by Landlord, provided
such capital improvements have a useful life of five (5) years or less or are like-kind
replacements of existing improvements and equipment existing at the Property as of the Lease
Commencement Date, such cost or allocable portion thereof to be amortized over the useful life of
such capital improvement as reasonably determined by Landlord in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles together with interest at a rate equal to the greater of (a) 10%, or (b) the
sum of that rate quoted by Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.T. & S.A. from time to time as its prime rate (the
“Prime Rate”), plus
28.
two percent (2%) or (c) such higher rate as may have been paid by Landlord on
funds borrowed for the purpose of constructing such capital improvements or performing any capital
repairs and/or replacements (but in no event more than the maximum rate of interest not prohibited
or made usurious by Law).
(iii) If less than 95% of the total rentable area of the Building is occupied during
the Base Year or any calendar year during the term of this Lease, then Property Maintenance
Expenses shall be adjusted to equal Landlord’s reasonable estimate had such percentage of the total
rentable area of the Building been occupied.
(iv) Market rate professional management fees and such other costs as may be paid or
incurred with respect to operating, maintaining, and preserving the Building, such as repairing and
resurfacing the exterior surfaces of the Building (including roofs), repairing and resurfacing
paved areas, and repairing and replacing, when necessary, electrical, plumbing, heating,
ventilating and air conditioning systems serving the Building. In the event a Property Maintenance
Cost relates to the Property as a whole, then Tenant’s Expense Share with respect to such Property
Maintenance Cost shall be deemed to be the percentage obtained by dividing the rentable square
footage of the Leased Premises at the time of calculation by the rentable square footage of the
Property at the time of calculation. In the event the rentable square footage of the Leased
Premises or the Property is changed, the foregoing deemed Tenant’s Expense Share shall be
recalculated so that the aggregate deemed Tenant’s Expense Share of all tenants of the Property
shall equal 100%.
(d) Property Expense Increase. The term “Operating Expenses” means the Real
Property Taxes, Landlord’s Insurance Costs and Property Maintenance Cost. The term “Property
Expense Increase” shall mean Tenant’s Expense Share of the Operating Expenses paid by Landlord
during calendar year 2007 and subsequent calendar years over Tenant’s Expense Share of the
Operating Expenses paid by Landlord during the Base Year. Real Property Taxes, Landlord’s
Insurance Costs, and Property Maintenance Costs for each applicable Base Year shall not include
market-wide cost increases due to extraordinary circumstances, including, but not limited to, Force
Majeure, boycotts, strikes, conservation surcharges, embargoes or shortages, or amortized costs
relating to capital improvements. Tenant’s Share of the Property Expense Increase attributable to
the capital cost of repair and maintenance of the roof of the Building and the base building HVAC
units and system shall not exceed $2,500.00 per calendar year. For the avoidance of doubt, if in
calendar 2007 Real Property Taxes were the same as for 2006, Tenant’s Expense Share of Landlord’s
insurance costs increased by $1,000 and Property Maintenance Costs decreased by $1,000, Tenant’s
Property Expense Increase would be $0.00. In no event shall the Property Expense Increase for any
calendar year subsequent to the Base Year be a negative number. Notwithstanding Tenant’s Expense
Share, Landlord reserves the right to equitably apportion the Property Expense Increase between
Tenant and other tenants of the Property if, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion (on the basis of
factors such as hours and intensity of use of a utility or service), any tenant is responsible for
a greater percentage of the Property Expense Increase than represented by such tenant’s Expense
Share as appropriate. For the avoidance of doubt, Operating Expenses shall not include capital
expenditures or the amortization of capital expenditures other than those identified above with
respect to the roof and the base building HVAC units and system and those identified in Paragraph
13.12(c)(ii) above.
(e) Law. The term “Law” shall mean any judicial decisions and any statute,
constitution, ordinance, resolution, regulation, rule, administrative order, or other requirements
of any municipal, county, state, federal, or other governmental agency or authority having
jurisdiction over the parties to this Lease, the Leased Premises, the Building or the Property, or
any of them, in effect either at the Effective Date of this Lease or at any time during the Lease
Term, including, without limitation, any regulation, order, or policy of any quasi-official entity
or body (e.g. a board of fire examiners or a public utility or special district).
(f) Lender. The term “Lender” shall mean the holder of any promissory note or other
evidence of indebtedness secured by the Property or any portion thereof.
(g) Restrictions. The term “Restrictions” shall mean (as they may exist from time
to time) any and all covenants, conditions and restrictions, private agreements, easements, and any
other recorded documents or instruments affecting the use of the Property, the Building, the Leased
Premises, or the Common Areas.
(h) Rent. The term “Rent” shall mean collectively Base Monthly Rent and all
Additional Rent.
13.13 General Waivers. One party’s consent to or approval of any act by the other party
requiring the first party’s consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary
the first party’s consent to or approval of any subsequent similar act by the other party. No
waiver of any provision hereof, or any waiver of any breach of any provision hereof, shall be
effective unless in writing and signed by the waiving party. The receipt by Landlord of any rent
or payment with or without knowledge of the breach of any other provision hereof shall not be
deemed a waiver of any such breach. No waiver
29.
of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed a
continuing waiver unless such waiver specifically states so in writing and is signed by both
Landlord and Tenant. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy accruing to
either party upon any breach by the other party under this Lease shall impair such right or remedy
or be construed as a waiver of any such breach
theretofore or thereafter occurring. The waiver by either party of any breach of any provision of
this Lease shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other
provisions herein contained.
13.14 Miscellaneous. Should any provisions of this Lease prove to be invalid or illegal,
such invalidity or illegality shall in no way affect, impair or invalidate any other provisions
hereof, and such remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Time is of the
essence with respect to the performance of every provision of this Lease in which time of
performance is a factor. Any copy of this Lease which is executed by the parties shall be deemed
an original for all purposes. This Lease shall, subject to the provisions regarding assignment,
apply to and bind the respective heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns of
Landlord and Tenant. The benefit of each indemnity obligation of Tenant under this Lease is
assignable in whole or in part by Landlord. The term “party” shall mean Landlord or Tenant as the
context implies. If Tenant consists of more than one person or entity, then all members of Tenant
shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder. Submission of this Lease for review, examination
or signature by Tenant does not constitute an offer to lease, a reservation of or an option for
lease, and notwithstanding any inconsistent language contained in any other document, this Lease is
not effective as a lease or otherwise until execution and delivery by both Landlord and Tenant.
This Lease shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State in which the
Leased Premises are located. The captions in this Lease are for convenience only and shall not be
construed in the construction or interpretation of any provision hereof. When the context of this
Lease requires, the neuter gender includes the masculine, the feminine, a partnership, corporation,
limited liability company, joint venture, or other form of business entity, and the singular
includes the plural. The terms “must,” “shall,” “will,” and “agree” are mandatory. The term “may”
is permissive. The term “governmental agency” or “governmental authority” or similar terms shall
include, without limitation, all federal, state, city, local and other governmental and
quasi-governmental agencies, authorities, bodies, boards, etc., and any party or parties having
enforcement rights under any Restrictions. When a party is required to do something by this Lease,
it shall do so at its sole cost and expense without right of reimbursement from the other party
unless specific provision is made therefor. Where Landlord’s consent is required hereunder, the
consent of any Lender shall also be required. Landlord and Tenant shall both be deemed to have
drafted this Lease, and the rule of construction that a document is to be construed against the
drafting party shall not be employed in the construction or interpretation of this Lease. Where
Tenant is obligated not to perform any act or is not permitted to perform any act, Tenant is also
obligated to restrain any others reasonably within its control, including agents, invitees,
contractors, subcontractors and employees, from performing such act. Landlord shall not become or
be deemed a partner or a joint venturer with Tenant by reason of any of the provisions of this
Lease.
13.15 Patriot Act Compliance.
(a) Tenant will use its good faith and commercially reasonable efforts to comply
with the Patriot Act (as defined below) and all applicable requirements of governmental authorities
having jurisdiction over Tenant or the Property, including those relating to money laundering and
terrorism. Landlord shall have the right to audit Tenant’s compliance with the Patriot Act and all
applicable requirements of governmental authorities having jurisdiction over Tenant or the
Property, including those relating to money laundering and terrorism. In the event that Tenant
fails to comply with the Patriot Act or any such requirements of governmental authorities, then
Landlord may, at its option, cause Tenant to comply therewith and any and all reasonable costs and
expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith shall be deemed Additional Charges and Rent
and shall be immediately due and payable. For purposes hereof, the term “Patriot Act” means the
Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct
Terrorism (USA PATRIOT ACT) Act of 2001, as the same may be amended from time to time, and
corresponding provisions of future laws.
(b) Neither Tenant nor any partner in Tenant or member of such partner (a) is listed

thereof, (c) has been previously indicted for or convicted of any felony involving a crime or
crimes of moral turpitude or for any Patriot Act Offense (as defined below), or (d) is currently
under investigation by any governmental authority for alleged criminal activity. For purposes
hereof, the term “Patriot Act Offense” means any violation of the criminal laws of the United
States of America or of any of the several states, or that would be a criminal violation if
committed within the jurisdiction of the United States of America or any of the several states,
relating to terrorism or the laundering of monetary instruments, including any offense under (a)
the criminal laws against terrorism; (b) the criminal laws against money laundering, (c) the Bank
Secrecy Act, as amended, (d) the Money Laundering Control Act of 1986, as amended, or the (e)
Patriot Act. “Patriot Act Offense” also includes the crimes of conspiracy to commit, or aiding and
abetting another to commit, a Patriot Act Offense. For purposes hereof, the term “Government
Lists” means (i) the Specially
30.

narcotics traffickers maintained

any representations as to (i) whether the Leased Premises may be used for Tenant’s intended use
under existing Law, or (ii) the suitability of the Leased Premises for the conduct of Tenant’s
business, or (iii) the exact square footage of the Leased Premises, and that Tenant relies solely
upon its own investigations with respect to such matters. Tenant expressly waives any and all
claims for damage by reason of any statement, representation, warranty, promise or other agreement

15.1 So long as the named Tenant is the Tenant hereunder and occupies the entirety of the
Leased Premises, and subject to the condition set forth in clause (b) below, Tenant shall have one

terminate such option and any exercise of such option upon notice to Tenant; and
(c) SolarFlare Communications, Inc., or any successor tenant under that certain
lease for approximately 18,000 square feet on the second floor of the Building, also exercises its
option to extend its lease of such premises; or Tenant, upon the expiration of such lease, adds
such space to the Leased Premises hereunder.
15.2 In the event the option is exercised in a timely fashion, the Lease shall be
extended for the term of the Extension Period upon all of the terms and conditions of this Lease,
provided that the Base Monthly Rent for the Extension Period shall be the “Fair Market Rent” for
the Leased Premises for the Extension Period, increased as set forth below. For purposes hereof,
“Fair Market Rent” shall mean the net effective fair market rental rate (taking into account free
rent, if any) as of first day of the Extension Period, for comparable space recently leased in the
Building or Property, or, if there are no recent transactions involving comparable space in the
Building or Property, then the net effective fair market rental rate (taking into account free
rent) based on comparable lease transactions in the Irvine Spectrum area, all based on the best
information available at the time of determination of the Fair Market Rent. The Fair Market Rent
shall be based on prevailing rentals then being charged to new tenants in the Building or Property
(or, if necessary, in other comparable buildings in the Irvine Spectrum area), for space of
equivalent quality, size and location in the Building (or adjusting the rental rate as appropriate
for differences therein), taking into such account the size, nature and stature of the tenant, the
length of the Extension Period during which such rate will apply, and differences in terms and
provisions of the applicable leases, such as pass-throughs of operating expenses and taxes. The
Fair Market Rent shall not be reduced on account of any differences in leasing commissions or
tenant improvements or improvement allowances. If the parties cannot agree as to Fair Market Rent,
then Fair Market Rent shall be determined pursuant to the process described below. In no event,
however, shall any adjustment of Base Monthly Rent pursuant to this paragraph result in a decrease
of the Base Monthly Rent for the Leased Premises below the amount due from Tenant for the for the
second month of the initial Lease Term. No leasing commissions shall be due or payable to any
broker retained by Tenant with regard to this Lease for any Extension Period.
15.3 Within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s notice of exercise, Landlord shall
notify Tenant in writing of Landlord’s estimate of the Base Monthly Rent for the Extension Period,
based on the provisions of Paragraph 15.2 above. Within ten (10) business days after receipt of
such notice from Landlord, Tenant may elect to withdraw the exercise of its extension option by
delivering written notice of such withdrawal to Landlord. If Tenant does not elect to withdraw its
exercise, then within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice from Landlord, Tenant shall
have the right either to (i) accept Landlord’s statement of Base Monthly Rent as the Base Monthly
Rent for the Extension Period; or (ii) elect to arbitrate Landlord’s estimate of Fair Market Rent,
such arbitration to be conducted pursuant to the provisions hereof. Failure on the part of Tenant
to require arbitration of Fair Market Rent within such 30-day period shall constitute acceptance of
the Base Monthly Rent for the applicable extension period as calculated by Landlord. If Tenant
elects arbitration, the arbitration shall be concluded within 90 days after the date of Tenant’s
election, subject to extension for an additional 30-day period if a third arbitrator is required
and does not act in a timely manner. To the extent that arbitration has not been completed prior
to the expiration of any preceding period for which Base Monthly Rent has been determined, Tenant
shall pay Base Monthly Rent at 95% of the rate calculated by Landlord, with the potential for an
adjustment to be made once Fair Market Rent is ultimately determined by arbitration.
15.4 In the event of arbitration, the judgment or the award rendered in any such
arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction and shall be final and binding between
the parties. The arbitration shall be conducted and determined in the City and County of San
Francisco in accordance with the then prevailing rules of the American Arbitration Association or
its successor for arbitration of commercial disputes except to the extent that the procedures
mandated by such rules shall be modified as follows:
(a) Tenant shall make demand for arbitration in writing within thirty (30) days
after service of Landlord’s determination of Fair Market Rent given under Paragraph 15.3 above,
specifying therein the name and address of the person to act as the arbitrator on its behalf. The
arbitrator shall be qualified as a real estate appraiser familiar with the Fair Market Rent of
similar industrial, research and development, or office space in the Irvine Spectrum market area
who would qualify as an expert witness over objection to give opinion testimony addressed to the
issue in a court of competent jurisdiction. Failure on the part of Tenant to make a proper demand
in a timely manner for such arbitration shall constitute a waiver of the right thereto. Within
fifteen (15) days after the service of the demand for
arbitration, Landlord shall give notice to Tenant, specifying the name and address of the
person designated by Landlord to act as arbitrator on its behalf who shall be similarly qualified.
If Landlord fails to notify Tenant of the appointment of its arbitrator, within or by the time
above specified, then the arbitrator appointed by Tenant shall be the arbitrator to determine the
issue.
32.
(b) In the event that two arbitrators are chosen pursuant to Paragraph 15.4(a)
above, the arbitrators so chosen shall, within fifteen (15) days after the second arbitrator is
appointed determine the Fair Market Rent. If the two arbitrators shall be unable to agree upon a
determination of Fair Market Rent within such 15-day period, they, themselves, shall appoint a
third arbitrator, who shall be a competent and impartial person with qualifications similar to
those required of the first two arbitrators pursuant to Paragraph 15.4(a). In the event they are
unable to agree upon such appointment within seven days after expiration of such 15-day period, the
third arbitrator shall be selected by the parties themselves, if they can agree thereon, within a
further period of fifteen (15) days. If the parties do not so agree, then either party, on behalf
of both, may request appointment of such a qualified person by the then Presiding Judge of the
California Superior Court having jurisdiction over the County of Orange, acting in his or her
private and not in his or her official capacity, acting in his private and not in his official
capacity, and the other party shall not raise any question as to such Judge’s full power and
jurisdiction to entertain the application for and make the appointment. The three arbitrators
shall decide the dispute if it has not previously been resolved by following the procedure set
forth below.
(c) Where an issue cannot be resolved by agreement between the two arbitrators
selected by Landlord and Tenant or settlement between the parties during the course of arbitration,
the issue shall be resolved by the three arbitrators within 15 days of the appointment of the third
arbitrator in accordance with the following procedure. The arbitrator selected by each of the
parties shall state in writing his determination of the Fair Market Rent supported by the reasons
therefor with counterpart copies to each party. The arbitrators shall arrange for a simultaneous
exchange of such proposed resolutions. The role of the third arbitrator shall be to select which
of the two proposed resolutions most closely approximates his determination of Fair Market Rent.
The third arbitrator shall have no right to propose a middle ground or any modification of either
of the two proposed resolutions. The resolution he chooses as most closely approximating his
determination shall constitute the decision of the arbitrators and be final and binding upon the
parties.
(d) In the event of a failure, refusal or inability of any arbitrator to act, his
successor shall be appointed by him, but in the case of the third arbitrator, his successor shall
be appointed in the same manner as provided for appointment of the third arbitrator. The
arbitrators shall decide the issue within fifteen (15) days after the appointment of the third
arbitrator. Any decision in which the arbitrator appointed by Landlord and the arbitrator
appointed by Tenant concur shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties. Each party shall pay
the fee and expenses of its respective arbitrator and both shall share the fee and expenses of the
third arbitrator, if any, and the attorneys’ fees and expenses of counsel for the respective
parties and of witnesses shall be paid by the respective party engaging such counsel or calling
such witnesses.
(e) The arbitrators shall have the right to consult experts and competent
authorities to obtain factual information or evidence pertaining to a determination of Fair Market
Rent, but any such consultation shall be made in the presence of both parties with full right on
their part to cross-examine. The arbitrators shall render their decision and award in writing with
counterpart copies to each party. The arbitrators shall have no power to modify the provisions of
this Lease.

Space, as provided in this Paragraph, if, as of the date of the attempted exercise of any right of
first offer by Tenant, or, as of the scheduled date of delivery of such First Offer Space to
Tenant, Tenant is in Default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods.

WORK LETTER
This Work Letter, dated ___, 2005, is entered into by and between

“Contractor”), furnish and install within the Leased Premises, substantially in accordance with the
plans and specifications to be approved by Landlord and Tenant pursuant to paragraphs 2 and 3
below, limited items of general construction (the “Tenant Improvements”). The quantities,
character and manner of installation of all of the Tenant Improvements shall be subject to the
limitations imposed by any applicable governmental regulations relating to conservation of energy
and by applicable building codes and regulations. In addition, Tenant agrees that the Tenant
Improvements shall not require Landlord to perform work which would (i) require changes to
structural components of the Building or the exterior design of the Building; (ii) require any
material modification to the Building’s mechanical or electrical systems; or (iii) be incompatible
with the Building plans filed with the City of Irvine. The construction of the Tenant Improvements
hereunder may be referred to as the Improvement Work.
2. Space Planning.
(a) Tenant shall engage an architect reasonable acceptable to Landlord (the “Architect”) to
prepare for Landlord’s approval “Space Planning Documents” showing the Tenant Improvements. Tenant
agrees that such space planning documents are or, after revisions requested by Landlord shall be,
sufficient to enable Landlord’s architect and engineers to evaluate the Working Drawings (as
defined below).
(b) All planning and interior design services relating to furniture and equipment, such as
selection of colors, finishes, fixtures, furnishings or floor coverings, will be included in the
cost of the Tenant Improvements, shall be subject to prior written approval of Landlord, and shall
be timely delivered so as not to impede the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements.
(c) Upon execution of the Lease and this Work Letter by Tenant and receipt by Landlord of the
Space Planning Documents, Tenant shall be authorized to cause its architect and engineers to
prepare the Working Drawings.
(d) Tenant acknowledges that it has engaged its architect(s) and shall be solely responsible
for the actions and omissions of its architect(s) and for any loss, liability, claim, cost, damage
or expense suffered by Landlord or any other entity or person as a result of the acts or omissions
of its architects or for delays caused by its architects. Tenant’s architect(s) shall be subject to
Landlord’s reasonable approval in writing. Landlord’s approval of any of Tenant’s architects or
engineers and of any documents prepared by any of them shall not be for the benefit of Tenant or
any third party, and Landlord shall have no duty to Tenant or to any third parties for the actions
or omissions of Tenant’s architects or engineers. Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless
Landlord against any and all losses, costs, damages, claims and liabilities arising from the
actions or omissions of Tenant’s architects and engineers.
3. Approval of Working Drawings.
(a) Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Tenant shall retain an architect and engineers to
prepare all architectural and engineering plans and specifications required for the construction of
the Tenant Improvements in conformance with the base building and tenant improvement standard
specifications of the Building (the “Working Drawings”), and to prepare drawings and specifications
for changes, if any, requested or required.
(b) Tenant shall submit the completed Working Drawings to Landlord for Landlord’s approval
within ___ days following the parties’ execution of the Lease. Landlord will provide written
approval of the Working Drawings within five (5) business days after such submission. If Landlord
disapproves any part of the submission, the disapproval shall include written instructions adequate
for Tenant’s architect and engineers to revise the Working Drawings. Such revisions shall be
resubmitted to Landlord for Landlord’s approval within ten (10) business days following Landlord’s
disapproval.
(c) If Tenant fails to submit the Working Drawings or the required Working Drawings within the
applicable periods set forth in subparagraph 3(b) above, then Tenant shall be responsible for any
resulting delay, and the cost of such delay.
1.
(d) Upon Landlord’s approval of the Working Drawings, Tenant shall be authorized to cause the
Contractor to proceed with the construction of the Tenant Improvements in accordance with the
Working Drawings.
4. Construction.
(a) Tenant shall obtain all building and other permits necessary in connection with the Tenant
Improvements prior to the commencement of such work. The Improvement Work shall (i) be constructed
in compliance with all of the terms and conditions of the Lease and with all applicable laws and
regulations, (ii) not involve changes to structural components of the Building nor involve any
floor, roof, or wall penetrations unless approved by Landlord, and (iii) not require any material
modifications of the Building’s mechanical or electrical systems unless approved by Landlord.
(b) Prior to commencing construction, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the following:
(i) The address of Tenant’s general contractor, and the names of the primary subcontractors
Tenant’s contractor intends to engage for the construction of the Leased Premises;
(ii) The actual commencement date of construction and the estimated date of completion of the

(iii) Evidence of insurance as called for herein below; and
(iv) An executed copy of the applicable building permit for such work.
(c) Tenant, in its discretion, may competitively bid the Improvement Work. Tenant’s
contractors and subcontractors shall be acceptable to and approved in writing by Landlord, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and shall, at Landlord’s option, be subject
to administrative supervision by Landlord. Landlord reserves the right to specify engineers and
subcontractors for mechanical, life safety, electrical and plumbing work. Tenant shall furnish to
Landlord a copy of the executed contract between Tenant and Tenant’s general contractor covering
all of Tenant’s obligations under this Work Letter. Tenant shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause such work to be performed in as efficient a manner as is commercially reasonable.

Contractors shall conduct their work and employ labor in such manner as to maintain harmonious
labor relations. Tenant’s Contractor shall obtain a builder’s risk policy of insurance in an
amount and form and issued by a carrier reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and Tenant’s general
contractor and subcontractors shall carry worker’s compensation insurance for their employees as
required by law. The builder’s risk policy of insurance shall name Landlord as an additional
insured and shall not be cancelable without at least 30 days’ prior written notice to Landlord.
(d) Any changes in the Improvement Work from the final drawings approved by Landlord shall be
subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any
deviation in construction from the design specifications and criteria set forth herein or from
Tenant’s plans and specifications as approved by Landlord shall constitute a default for which
Landlord may, within ten (10) days after giving written notice to Tenant, elect to exercise the
remedies available in the event of default under the provisions of this Lease, unless such default
is cured within such ten (10) day period, or, if the cure reasonably requires more than ten (10)
days, unless such default is cured as soon as reasonably practicable but in no event later than
thirty (30) days after Landlord’s notice to Tenant. Only new materials shall be used in the
construction of the Improvement Work, except with the written consent of Landlord.
(e) Trash removal will be done continually at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. No trash, or
other debris, or other waste may be deposited at any time outside the Building. If so, Landlord
may remove it at Tenant’s expense, which expense shall equal the cost of removal plus twenty five
percent (25%) of such costs as a management fee.
(f) Storage of Tenant’s contractors’ construction materials, tools and equipment shall be
confined within the Leased Premises, and in no event shall any materials or debris be stored
outside of the Leased Premises.
(g) Landlord shall have the right to post in a conspicuous location on the Leased Premises, as
well as record with the County of Orange, a Notice of Nonresponsibility.
(h) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any work to be performed outside of the
Leased Premises shall be coordinated with Landlord, and shall be subject to reasonable scheduling
requirements of Landlord.
2.
(i) Tenant, its contractors and subcontractors may use all or any portion of the parking
spaces allotted to Tenant hereunder during construction of the Improvement Work, without charge but
subject to the terms of this Lease.
5. Payment of Costs of the Improvement Work.
(a) Unless specified otherwise herein, Tenant shall bear and pay the cost of the Improvement
Work (which cost shall include, without limitation, the costs of construction, cabling, permits and
permit expediting, and all architectural and engineering services obtained by Landlord in
connection with the Tenant Improvements, and the Contractor’s fees), provided that so long as
Tenant in not in material default under the Lease, Landlord shall contribute a maximum of an amount
equal to $54,000.00 (the “Improvement Allowance”) toward the cost of the Improvement Work. Tenant
shall bear and pay the cost of the Improvement Work (including but not limited to all of the
foregoing fees and costs) in excess of the Improvement Allowance, if any. Landlord shall not
charge a construction management fee, supervision fee or plan review fee in connection with the
Improvement Work.
(b) Tenant shall submit applications for payment to Landlord in a form reasonably acceptable
to Landlord covering each calendar month, certified as correct by an officer of Tenant and by
Tenant’s architect, for payment of that portion of the cost of the Improvement Work allocable to
labor, materials and equipment incorporated in the Building during the period from the first day of
the same month projected through the last day of the month. Each application for payment shall set
forth such information and shall be accompanied by such supporting documentation as shall be
reasonably requested by Landlord, including the following:
(i) Invoices and canceled checks.
(ii) Fully executed conditional lien releases in the form prescribed by law from the
Contractor and all subcontractors and suppliers furnishing labor or materials during such period
and fully executed unconditional lien releases from all such entities covering the prior payment
period.
(iii) Contractor’s worksheets showing percentages of completion.
(iv) Contractor’s certification as follows:
“There are no known mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens outstanding at the date of this application
for payment, all due and payable bills with respect to the Building have been paid to date or shall
be paid from the proceeds of this application for payment, and there is no known basis for the
filing of any mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens against the Building or the Property, and, to the
best of our knowledge, waivers from all subcontractors are valid and constitute an effective waiver
of lien under applicable law to the extent of payments that have been made or shall be made
concurrently herewith.”
(c) Tenant shall submit with each application for payment all documents necessary to effect
and perfect the transfer of title to the materials or equipment for which application for payment
is made.
(d) If an appropriately complete application for payment together with the required supporting
documentation specified above is received by landlord on or before the 25th day of a calendar
month, then on or before the 15th day of the month following submission of such application for
payment and other required documentation, Landlord shall pay a share of such payment determined by
multiplying the amount of such payment by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the
Improvement Allowance, and the denominator of which is the sum of (i) estimated construction cost
of all Improvement Work, and (ii) the estimated cost of all professional services, fees and permits
in connection therewith. Tenant shall pay the balance of such payment, provided that at such time
as Landlord has paid the entire Improvement Allowance on account of such Improvement Work, all
xxxxxxxx shall be paid entirely by Tenant. If upon completion of the Improvement Work and payment
in full to the Contractor, the architect and engineer, and payment in full of all fees and permits,
the portion of the cost of the Improvement Work, architects’ and engineers’ fees, permits and fees
theretofore paid by Landlord is less than the Improvement Allowance, Landlord shall reimburse
Tenant for costs expended by Tenant for Improvement Work up to the amount by which the Improvement
Allowance exceeds the portion of such cost theretofore paid by Landlord. Landlord shall have no
obligation to advance the Improvement Allowance to the extent it exceeds the total cost of the
Improvement Work. In no event shall Landlord have any responsibility for the cost of the
Improvement Work in excess of the Improvement Allowance. Landlord shall have no obligation to make
any payments to Contractor’s material suppliers or subcontractors or to determine whether amounts
due them from Contractor in connection with the Improvement Work have, in fact, been paid.
6. Completion of Improvement Work.
(a) Upon the completion of the Improvement Work, Tenant shall:
3.
(i) Submit to Landlord a detailed breakdown of Tenant’s final and total construction costs,
together with receipted evidence showing payment thereof, satisfactory to Landlord;
(ii) Submit to Landlord all evidence reasonably available from governmental authorities
showing compliance with any and all other laws, orders and regulations of any and all governmental
authorities having jurisdiction over the Building, including, without limitation, authorization for
physical occupancy of the Building;
(iii) Submit to Landlord the as built plans and specifications referred to above; and
(iv) Deliver to Landlord an assignment transferring to Landlord on a non-exclusive basis any
and all rights Tenant may have against Tenant’s architects and contractors relating to the
Improvement Work, without in any way obligating Landlord to pursue or prosecute such rights.
In Witness Whereof, Landlord and Tenant have executed this Work Letter as of the

(“Owner”), (“Lessee”)
and (“Lender”).
RECITALS
A. | Pursuant to the terms and provisions of a lease dated (“Lease”), Owner, as “Lessor”, granted to Lessee a leasehold estate in and to a portion of the property described on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (which property, together with all improvements now or hereafter located on the property, is defined as the “Property”). |
B. | Said Lease contains provisions and terms granting Lessee an option to purchase the Property (the “Option To Purchase”). |

D. | Lender requires that the Deed of Trust be unconditionally and at all times remain a lien on the Property, prior and superior to all the rights of Lessee under the Lease and the Option To Purchase and that the Lessee specifically and unconditionally subordinate the Lease and the Option To Purchase to the lien of the Deed of Trust. |
E. | Owner and Lessee have agreed to the subordination, attornment and other agreements herein in favor of Lender. |
NOW THEREFORE, for valuable consideration and to induce Lender to make the Loan, Owner and Lessee
hereby agree for the benefit of Lender as follows:
SUBORDINATION. Owner and Lessee hereby agree that:

Prior Lien. The Deed of Trust securing the Note in favor of Lender, and any modifications,
renewals or extensions thereof, shall unconditionally be and at all times remain a lien on the
Property prior and superior to the Lease and the Option To Purchase;

the terms and conditions thereof, the Lease is in full force and effect, the obligations of Lessee
thereunder are valid and binding and there have been no modifications or additions to the Lease,
written or oral;
No Default. To the best of Lessee’s knowledge, as of the date hereof: (i) there exists no

direction to pay and shall not be required to determine whether Lessor is in default under the Loan

Lessee pursuant to the terms of the Lease for the duration of the term of the Lease;

its landlord, such attornment to be effective and self-operative without the execution of any
further instrument immediately upon Lender succeeding to Lessor’s interest in the Lease and giving
written notice thereof to Lessee;
No Offset. Lender shall not be liable for, nor subject to, any offsets or defenses which
Lessee may have by reason of any act or omission of Lessor under the Lease, nor for the return of
any sums which Lessee may have paid to Lessor under the Lease as and for security deposits, advance
rentals or otherwise, except to the extent that such sums are actually delivered by Lessor to
Lender; and
Subsequent Transfer. If Lender, by succeeding to the interest of Lessor under the Lease,
should become obligated to perform the covenants of Lessor thereunder, then, upon any further
transfer of Lessor’s interest by Lender, all of such obligations shall terminate as to Lender.
NON-DISTURBANCE. In the event of a foreclosure under the Deed of Trust, so long as there
shall then exist no breach, default, or event of default on the part of Lessee under the Lease,
Lender agrees for itself and its successors and assigns that the leasehold interest of Lessee under
