------------------
THIS OFFICE SPACE LEASE ("Lease"), dated May 26, 1999, is entered into
by and between SHIN-EI CO., LTD., a Japanese corporation, as Landlord, and
CONCENTRIC NETWORK CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, as Tenant.
1. PREMISES.
--------
Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby hires from
Landlord, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, those certain
premises ("Premises") outlined on Exhibit "A" attached hereto. Suite 400 of the
-----------
Premises is located on the first (1st) floor of the Building and Suite 450 of
the Premises is located on the second (2nd) floor of the Building. As used in
this Lease, the term "Building" shall mean the building described in the Basic
Lease Information attached hereto and all common areas, parking areas and
walkways serving said building and all areas adjacent to said building which are
owned by Landlord. Landlord and Tenant hereby irrevocably stipulate and agree
that the aggregate rentable area of the Premises is twenty-one thousand seven
hundred sixty-seven (21,767) square feet and the aggregate usable area of the
Premises is nineteen thousand four hundred thirty-five (19,435) square feet and
that there shall be no changes to the amount of Base Monthly Rent, the amount of
any other sums payable under this Lease, Tenant's Share of Increased Costs, the
amount of the tenant improvement allowance described in Paragraph 2.11 of
Exhibit "B" attached hereto or the amount of any other allowances based in whole
-----------
or in part upon any measurement or re-measurement by Landlord or Tenant of the
rentable or usable areas of the Premises.
The Premises shall include the right to use, in common with others,
walkways, lobbies, entrances, stairs, elevators and other public portions of the
Building (collectively referred to as the "Common Areas"). All of the outside
walls and windows of the Premises and any space in the Premises used for shafts,
stacks, pipes, conduits, ducts, and electric or other Building facilities, and
the use thereof and access thereto through the Premises for the purposes of
operation, maintenance and repairs are reserved to Landlord.
For purposes of this Lease, the term "rentable area" shall mean 112%
of the "usable area." The term "usable area" shall mean all floor area in the
Premises, measured to the inside glass surface of the outer building walls, to
the interior side of corridors and other permanent partitions, and to the center
of partitions that separate the Premises from adjoining tenant spaces, without
deduction for columns and projections necessary to the Building.
2. TERM: COMPLETION OF IMPROVEMENTS.
--------------------------------
The term ("Term") of this Lease shall commence on June 1, 1999
("Commencement Date") as to Suite 450 and on July 1, 1999 (also, "Commencement
Date") as to Suite 400 and shall expire on June 30, 2004. If Landlord, for any
reason whatsoever, cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant following
execution hereof, this Lease shall not be voidable, nor shall Landlord or its
agents be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom.
Tenant shall accept the Premises in its "As-Is" condition upon
Landlord's delivery thereof to Tenant. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that
Landlord is not obligated to make any improvements to the Premises nor to
provide any allowance therefor, except as otherwise specifically provided in
Exhibit "B" attached hereto. Promptly after Landlord tenders possession of the
-----------
Premises to Tenant, Tenant shall construct the tenant improvements in the
Premises in accordance with Exhibit "B" attached hereto using Building standard
-----------
materials (the "Tenant Improvements") except as otherwise approved in writing by
Landlord. All of the terms of this Lease, except for terms requiring the payment
of rent, shall apply to Tenant's construction of the Tenant Improvements and
occupancy of the Premises prior to the Commencement Date. Tenant hereby
acknowledges Landlord's right to enter onto the Premises for the purposes of
reviewing the construction process, compliance with the approved plans and
specifications and completion of the Tenant Improvements as set forth in Exhibit
-------
"B". Prior to commencing the Tenant improvement work, Tenant shall, at Tenant's
---
cost, have Tenant's contractor provide a completion bond in an amount equal to
one hundred percent (100%) of the cost of the work for which Tenant has
contracted as security for the faithful performance of the contract and also a
labor and material payment bond in
an amount not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the cost of such work, as
security for the payment of persons performing labor and furnishing materials on
behalf of Tenant.
Tenant shall have one (1) option to extend the Term of the Lease, for
a period of five (5) years (the "Extension Term"), provided that Tenant is not
then in default under any of the terms or provisions of the Lease and also
provided that Tenant has not been in default on three (3) or more separate
occasions during the Term of this Lease. Tenant may exercise the extension
option by giving written notice of Tenant's intent to exercise the option to
Landlord at least two hundred ten (210) days prior to the expiration of the then
current term, but no earlier than three hundred sixty-five (365) days prior to
the expiration of the then current term. At the commencement of the Extension
Term, the Base Rent shall be adjusted to be equal to ninety-five percent (95%)
of the then fair market rental value of the Premises, but no less than the rate
in effect immediately prior to the expiration of the Term, and said adjustment
may include future adjustments to Base Rent if such future adjustments are then
being included in office lease transactions for comparable buildings. If
Landlord and Tenant cannot agree upon the fair market rental value of the
Premises within sixty (60) days after Landlord's receipt of Tenant's notice
exercising the option contained herein, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint a
"Qualified Arbitrator" (as defined below) within seven (7) days after the
expiration of the aforementioned sixty (60) day period. Such arbitrators shall
confer and select a third Qualified Arbitrator (the "Neutral Arbitrator"), who
alone shall determine the fair market rental value of the Premises. Should the
two (2) arbitrators fail to select a Third Qualified Arbitrator to act as the
Neutral Arbitrator within seven (7) days, the Neutral Arbitrator shall be
designated pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1281.6, as
that Section may be amended or redesignated from time to time; provided,
however, that the Neutral Arbitrator so appointed must be a Qualified
Arbitrator. The determination of the Neutral Arbitrator shall be binding upon
Landlord and Tenant. Landlord and Tenant shall bear the cost of the arbitrator
appointed by such party and shall equally bear the cost of the Neutral
Arbitrator. As used herein, the term "Qualified Arbitrator" shall mean a person
who is an appraiser or real estate broker licensed by the State of California
and who has not less than five (5) years' experience in commercial leasing or
commercial real estate appraising.
3. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED
4. RENTAL PAYMENTS.
---------------
Tenant shall pay base rent ("Base Rent") for the Premises to Landlord
throughout the Term on or before the first day of each calendar month during the
Term, without deduction or offset, in the amount(s) set forth in Section 5
hereof, as adjusted in accordance with Section 6, except that Tenant shall pay
its first twelve (12) monthly installments of Base Rent (i.e., $378,745.80)
concurrently with Tenant's execution hereof. If the Term commences on a day
other than the first day of a calendar month, then the Base Rent for the first
partial month shall be equitably prorated. All sums payable by Tenant to
Landlord hereunder shall be paid to Landlord, without deduction or offset, in
lawful money of the United States of America, addressed to Landlord c/o The Real
Estate Group, 0000 Xxxxx Xx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx
00000, or to such other person or at such other place as Landlord may from time
to time designate in writing. If any rent (including Base Rent, Tenant's Share
of Increased Costs and any other payment required to be made by Tenant) is not
received by Landlord within ten (10) days after the date such installment is
due, Tenant shall pay a late charge equal to eight percent (8 %) of such
installment and the installment and late charge shall bear interest (i) during
the initial Term at the lesser of twelve percent (12%) per annum or the highest
rate permitted by law and (ii) thereafter at the highest rate permitted by law.
Tenant recognizes and agrees that the late charge is intended to compensate
Landlord for and is a reasonable estimate of the administrative, legal,
bookkeeping and other expenses which will result from such delinquent rent
payment, which costs and expenses would be extremely difficult and impractical
to calculate.
Any payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than
stipulated herein for Base Rent, additional rent or any other charge hereunder
shall be deemed payment of the earliest stipulated rent, additional rent or
other charge then due. No endorsement or statement on a check and no letter
accompanying any check or payment shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction.
Landlord may accept any check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's rights
to recover the balance of rent, additional rent or other charges then due or to
pursue any other remedy set forth in this Lease or available at law or in
equity.
5. BASE MONTHLY RENT.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Base Monthly Rent for June, 1999,
shall be prorated to include only Base Monthly Rent for Suite 450.
6. TENANT's SHARE OF INCREASED COSTS.
---------------------------------
(a) The Base Rent payable during each calendar year or part thereof
during the Term, after the calendar year 1999 (the calendar year 1999 being
hereinafter referred to as the "Base Year") shall be increased by Tenant's Share
of Increased Costs, as specified in the Basic Lease Information, of the total
dollar increase, if any, in Operating Expenses paid or incurred by Landlord in
the Base Year. As used herein "Operating Expenses" means all costs, expenses and
disbursements of any kind related to the administration, management, repair,
operation and maintenance of the Building or any portion thereof, including
without limitation, wages, salaries and other payroll costs and expenses,
janitorial maintenance, guard and other services, Building office rent or rental
value, power, water, waste disposal and other utilities, materials and supplies,
maintenance and repairs, insurance, and depreciation on personal property and
costs of making improvements to the Building or Common Areas that are required
by laws which come into effect after execution hereof, including, without
limitation, improvements required by the Americans With Disabilities Act (42
U.S.C. Section 12181 et seq.); provided, however, that Operating Expenses shall
-- ---
not include (i) taxes covered under paragraph (b) below; (ii) depreciation other
than depreciation on exterior window draperies and carpeting in public corridors
and Common Areas, if any; (iii) costs incurred for leasing, renovating,
improving or decorating vacant space or space for other tenants in the Building;
(iv) real estate brokers' commissions; (v) interest; (vi) except as set forth in
Section 6(f) below, capital items; (vii) costs arising as a result of a
violation of any law(s) applicable to the Building by Landlord, other tenants of
the Building or their respective agents, employees or contractors or costs to
bring the Building into compliance with any applicable laws which are in effect
as of execution hereof; (viii) costs incurred to correct any construction
defects in the Building or to comply with any conditions, covenants or
restrictions affecting the Building in effect as of execution hereof; (ix) costs
incurred in connection with negotiations or disputes with other tenants or
occupants of the Building and costs arising from the violation of any lease or
agreement by Landlord or any other tenant or occupant of the Building;(x)
without limitation on the provisions of Section 46 below, costs incurred in the
remediation of Hazardous Materials; and (xi) costs for which Landlord receives
reimbursement from a third party (except from other tenants in the Building as a
share of Operating Expenses in accordance with this provision or a similar
provision in such tenants' leases). The cost of premiums for earthquake or flood
insurance, if incurred by Landlord after the Base Year, shall be added to the
Base Year calculation and Tenant shall only be responsible for its share of the
amount exceeding the amount attributed to the Base Year. In the event that the
Building is less than ninety-five percent (95%) occupied, actual Operating
Expenses for both the Base Year and each subsequent calendar year shall be
adjusted to equal Landlord's reasonable estimate of Operating Expenses had
ninety-five percent (95%) of the total rentable area of the Building been
occupied and assessed.
(b) The Base Rent payable during each calendar year, or part thereof
during the Term, after the calendar year 1999 (the "Base Tax Year"), shall also
be increased by Tenant's Share of Increased Costs, as specified in the Basic
Lease Information, of the total dollar increase, if any, in real and personal
property taxes, rental tax, gross receipts tax and any tax, tax assessment,
special assessment, charges or other imposition of any nature whatsoever levied
wholly or partly in lieu thereof, whether or not such tax, tax assessment,
special assessment, charge or other imposition is presently within the
contemplation of the parties, levied against the Building and fixtures and other
property used in connection with the operation or maintenance of the Building
for such calendar year, over such taxes for the Base Tax Year. In the event that
the Building is less than ninety-five percent (95%) occupied, the actual amount
of said taxes and assessments for both the Base Tax Year and each subsequent
calendar year shall be adjusted to equal Landlord's reasonable estimate thereof
had ninety-five percent (95%) of the total rentable area of the Building been
occupied and assessed.
(c) Prior to the start of each calendar year or as soon thereafter as
practicable, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of its estimate of
amounts payable under paragraphs (a) and (b) above for the ensuing calendar
year. On or before the first day of each month during the ensuing calendar year,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord one-twelfth (1/12) of such estimated amounts,
provided that if such notice is not given in December, Tenant shall continue to
pay on the basis of the prior year's estimate until the month after such notice
is given. If at any time or times it appears to Landlord that the amounts
payable under either paragraph (a) and (b) above for the current calendar year
will vary from its estimate by more than five percent (5%), Landlord shall, by
written notice to Tenant, revise its estimate for such year, and subsequent
payments by Tenant for such year shall be based upon such revised estimate.
(d) Within a reasonable time after the close of each calendar year,
Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement of amounts payable under paragraphs
(a) and (b) above for such calendar year. If such statement shows an amount
owing by Tenant that is less than the estimated payments for such calendar year
previously made by Tenant, Tenant shall be given a credit towards future rents
owed in an amount equivalent to the overpayment. If such statement shows an
amount owing by Tenant that is more than the estimated payment for such calendar
year previously made by Tenant, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord
within thirty (30) days after delivery of the statement.
(e) If, for any reason, this Lease shall terminate on a day other
than the last day of a calendar year, the amount of increase (if any) in rent
payable by Tenant applicable to the calendar year in which such termination
shall occur shall be equitably prorated on the basis which the number of days
from the commencement of such calendar year to and including such termination
date bears to three hundred sixty-five (365).
(f) Tenant shall be charged for the amortization, with a market rate
of interest, of the cost of installation of capital investment items that are
for the purpose of reducing operating costs or which result in energy
conservation or that may be required by applicable law or governmental
authority. All such costs shall be amortized over the reasonable life of the
capital investment items, with the reasonable life and amortization schedule to
be determined in accordance with sound management accounting principles.
(g) All amounts payable under this Section 6 shall be considered
additional rent.
(h) Upon reasonable advance written notice by Tenant to Landlord,
given not more often than once per statement described above and within sixty
(60) days after Tenant's receipt of the statement described in Subsection 6(d)
above, Tenant shall be permitted to examine the books and records in Landlord's
possession which are pertinent to the Operating Expenses and Taxes described in
such statement. Such examination shall be conducted at Tenant's sole expense and
at Landlord's office or at such other place where such books and records are
commonly kept by Landlord, and shall be conducted so as not to interfere with
Landlord's normal business operations. If Tenant fails to conduct such
examination within sixty (60) days after its receipt of a statement as set forth
above, then Tenant's right to conduct such examination shall be deemed waived
with respect to such statement and such statement shall be final and binding
upon Landlord and Tenant. If such examination reveals an overpayment of
Operating Expenses or Taxes for the period covered-by such statement, then,
provided Landlord does not reasonably dispute the results thereof, Landlord
shall credit such overpayment against the next monthly rent payment of Tenant,
or if the Term hereof has expired, Landlord shall promptly refund the
overpayment to Tenant. If such examination reveals an underpayment of Operating
Expenses or Taxes for the period covered by such statement, then Tenant shall
pay the same with its next monthly rent payment, or if the Term hereof has
expired, Tenant shall pay the same within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the
examination results. If Tenant's examination reveals an overstatement of
Operating Expenses of five percent (5%) or more, then the reasonable costs and
expenses of Tenant's examination shall be paid by Landlord.
7. USE.
---
(a) The Premises shall be used for general office purposes and as a
computer server room containing fiber optic and telephone devices and electrical
switching devices (the "Data Center"), and for no other purpose without the
written consent of Landlord. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done in or
about the
Premises, nor bring or keep or permit to be brought or kept therein, anything
which is prohibited by or will in any way conflict with any law, statute,
ordinance or governmental rule or regulation now in force or which may hereafter
be enacted or promulgated or which is prohibited by the standard form of fire
insurance policy, or will in any way increase the existing rate of or affect
any fire or other insurance upon the Building or any of its contents, or cause a
cancellation of any insurance policy covering the Building or any part thereof
or any of its contents. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or
about the Premises which will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights
of other tenants of the Building, or injure or annoy them, or allow any
excessive noises, vibrations or odors to emit from the Premises, or use or allow
the Premises to be used for any improper, immoral, unlawful or objectionable
purpose, nor shall Tenant cause, maintain or permit any nuisance in, on or about
the Premises or commit or suffer to be committed any waste in, on or about the
Premises. Tenant shall keep the blinds closed on any first (1st) floor windows
through which telephone or computer equipment may be seen from outside the
Premises, as determined by Landlord.
(b) Tenant shall not use the name of the Building or any similar name
in connection with any business carried on by Tenant (except as Tenant's
address) without written consent of Landlord which Landlord may withhold in its
sole and absolute discretion.
(c) Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of
Landlord has made any representation or warranty regarding the zoning of the
Building or the suitability of the Premises for the conduct of Tenant's
business, nor whether said business is permitted by law.
8. SERVICES.
--------
(a) Landlord shall maintain the public and common areas of the
Building, such as lobbies, stairs, elevators, corridors and restrooms in
reasonably good order and condition except for damage occasioned by the act of
Tenant, which damage shall be repaired by Landlord at Tenant's expense.
(b) Landlord shall furnish the Premises with (i) electricity for
lighting and the operation of office machines consistent with normal general
office use, (ii) heat and air conditioning to the extent reasonably required in
Landlord's judgment for the comfortable occupation of the Premises for normal
general office use during the reasonable and usual business hours of 8:00 a.m.
to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 1:00
p.m. on Saturday (exclusive of Sundays and Holidays) or such shorter period
specified or prescribed by any applicable policies or regulations adopted by any
utility or government agency, (iii) elevator service (if an elevator currently
exists in the Building), (iv) lighting replacement (for building standard
lights), (v) restroom supplies, and (vi) daily janitor service based on normal
general office use five nights per week (exclusive of holidays) furnished in the
manner that such services are customarily furnished in comparable buildings in
the Irvine area. If Tenant requires any utilities or services during times other
than the business hours set forth in item (ii) above, then Tenant shall promptly
upon demand reimburse Landlord for all costs of providing the same, as
reasonably estimated by Landlord. Landlord shall not be in default hereunder or
be liable for any damages directly or indirectly resulting from, nor shall the
rental herein reserved be abated by reason of (1) the installation, use or
interruption of use of any equipment used for the furnishing of any of the
foregoing services or of any phone lines, (2) failure to furnish or delay in
furnishing any such services when such failure or delay is caused by repair,
accident or any condition beyond the reasonable control of Landlord or by the
making of necessary repairs or improvements to the Premises or to the Building,
or (3) the limitation, curtailment, rationing or restrictions on use of water,
electricity, gas or any other form of energy serving the Premises or the
Building. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to remedy the interruption in
the furnishing of such services. Landlord shall be entitled to cooperate
voluntarily in a reasonable manner with the efforts of national, state or local
agencies or utilities suppliers in reducing energy or other resource
consumption. Landlord shall be under no obligation to provide additional or
after-hours heating or air conditioning, but if Landlord elects to provide such
services at Tenant's request, Tenant shall pay Landlord the then current
Building standard rate for such services as determined by Landlord.
(c) Whenever heat generating machines or equipment or lighting other
than Building standard lights are used in the Premises by Tenant which affect
the temperature otherwise maintained by the air conditioning system, unless
installed by Tenant pursuant to Section 2.13 of Exhibit "B", Landlord shall have
-----------
the right to install
supplementary air conditioning units in the Premises, and the cost thereof,
including the cost of installation and the cost of operation and maintenance
thereof, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon billing by Landlord. In
addition, Tenant shall enter into and pay for a service contract with a licensed
air-conditioning contractor to service the supplementary air-conditioning units.
If Tenant installs lighting or equipment requiring power in excess of that
required for normal lighting or desk-top office equipment or normal copying
equipment, Tenant shall pay for the cost of such excess power as additional
rent, together with the cost of installing any additional risers or other
facilities that may be necessary to furnish such excess power to the Premises.
(d) In the event that Tenant has unusual needs with regard to the
services to be provided by Landlord set forth above, including but not limited
to, any unusual utility usage or installation, Tenant shall immediately notify
Landlord in writing of same. In the event of any of the above situations
requiring additional electricity, Landlord, at its option, may: (i) cause same
to be separately metered at Tenant's expense including the expense of
installation of such meters, in which case Tenant shall pay the cost of a
monthly meter reader to read the meter(s), or (ii) equitably estimate the cost
thereof to be charged directly to Tenant. If Tenant fails to give Landlord
written notice of Tenant's unusual needs for services, Landlord may back-charge
Tenant for an equitable amount to compensate Landlord for such extra electrical
usage; provided, however, Tenant's use of electric current shall never exceed
the capacity of the feeders to the Building in which the Premises is located or
the risers or wiring installation.
9. TAXES PAYABLE BY TENANT.
-----------------------
In addition to the monthly rental and other charges to be paid by
Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for any and all
taxes payable by Landlord (other than net income taxes) whether or not now
customary or within the contemplation of the parties hereto: (a) upon, measured
by or reasonably attributable to the cost or value of Tenant's equipment,
furniture, fixtures and other personal property located in the Premises or by
the cost or value of any leasehold improvements made in or to the Premises by or
for Tenant, other than Landlord's work under Exhibit "B" regardless of whether
------------
title to such improvements shall be in Tenant or Landlord; (b) upon or measured
by the monthly rental payable hereunder, including, without limitation, any
gross income tax or excise tax levied by the City of Irvine, the State of
California, the Federal Government or any other governmental body with respect
to the receipt of such rental; (c) upon or with respect to the possession,
leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or
occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion thereof; and (d) upon this
transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring

10. IMPROVEMENTS. REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS.
-------------------------------------
Upon taking possession of the Premises as set forth herein, Tenant
shall, be deemed to have accepted the Premises as being in tenantable and good
condition. Upon delivery thereof, the Premises (and all Building systems
directly serving the Premises except those which Tenant is responsible for
installing in connection with the Tenant Improvements) shall be in good
condition, order and repair and the Premises roof shall be watertight. Tenant
shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, repair and maintain the Premises and
every part thereof in good order and condition and, except as expressly provided
in Section 15 below, in compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances and
regulations and, subject to the third sentence of this Section 10, Tenant shall,
at Tenant's sole cost and expense, make any change or alterations to the
Premises required thereby. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant shall, at its
sole cost and expense, cause the Premises to comply at all times with the
requirements of Title III of the Americans With Disabilities Act (42 U.S.C.
Section 12181 et seq.), the regulations now or hereafter adopted pursuant
-- ---
thereto, and any and all applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, rules and
regulations concerning public accommodations for disabled persons now or
hereafter in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not alter or
change the Premises or any other portion of the Building without the prior
written consent of Landlord, which shall not be withheld for changes required by
law, except that such changes shall be subject to Landlord's reasonable approval
of plans therefor and Landlord may elect to have its own contractors perform any
such alterations that affect Building systems, utilities or structural portions
and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable costs thereof within five
(5) business days after written demand. Notwithstanding the immediately
preceding sentence, Tenant shall have the right (i) to make interior, non-
structural alterations which do not affect the Building systems (including,
without limitation; mechanical, electrical, HVAC, plumbing and life and safety
systems) and which do not cost more than $10,000 in the
aggregate over the Term of the Lease and (ii) to install cables, computer lines
and telephone lines in the Premises subject to Landlord's approval as to size,
design, layout, location and method of installation. Tenant hereby waives the
provisions of Subdivision (1) of Section 1932 of the Civil Code of California,
and any successor or similar statute or law. All improvements, repairs and/or
alterations that may be required of or desired by Tenant shall be done by
Landlord's contractor but at the cost of Tenant. All improvements, repairs, and
alterations shall become the property of Landlord and shall remain upon and be
surrendered with the Premises; provided, however, that at Landlord's option,
Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, when surrendering the Premises, restore the
same to their original condition. All damage or injury done to the Premises by
Tenant, or by any persons who may be in or upon the Premises with the consent of
Tenant, shall be paid for by Tenant. Tenant shall, at the termination of this
Lease by the expiration of time or otherwise, surrender and deliver up the
Premises to Landlord in as good condition as when received by Tenant from
Landlord, reasonable wear and tear excepted and subject to the following (to the
extent not caused or created by Tenant, its agents, employees or invitees): (i)
acts of God, (ii) casualty, (iii) condemnation, (iv) the presence of Hazardous
Materials not caused or created by Tenant, its agents employees or contractors,
and (v) improvements, repairs and/or alterations which Landlord has requested to
remain in the Premises. Tenant shall pay for all damage to the Building, as well
as all damage to tenants or occupants thereof, caused by Tenant's misuse or
neglect of the Premises or the appurtenances thereto.
11. LIENS.
-----
Tenant shall keep the Premises and the Building free from any
mechanic's and/or materialmen's liens or other liens arising out of any work
performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by Tenant. Tenant shall
notify Landlord at least seventy-two (72) hours prior to the commencement of any
work or activity on the Premises which may give rise to such liens and Landlord
shall have the right to post and keep posted on the Premises any notices that
may be provided by law or which Landlord may deem to be proper for the
protection of Landlord, the Premises and the Building from such liens. If a
mechanic's lien is filed as a result of Tenant's activities, Tenant shall
promptly cause such lien to be removed, or if Tenant contests the correctness or
validity of any claim of lien, Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence that
Tenant has recorded a statutory lien release bond pursuant to California Civil
Code Section 3143 and has given notice thereof pursuant to California Civil Code
Section 3144.5 or any successor statutes pertaining to those Sections. If Tenant
fails to do so, Landlord may, but need not (i) record the statutory lien release
bond, and charge Tenant the bond premium together with interest thereon as
additional rent hereunder, or (ii) Landlord may, at its option, pay the lien or
any portion of it without inquiry as to its validity. Any amounts paid by
Landlord to remove a mechanics' lien, including all expenses and reasonable
attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord, shall be due and payable by Tenant to
Landlord immediately upon demand, together with interest, until paid.
12. DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION.
----------------------
If the Premises or the Building are completely destroyed by any cause
insured against under a standard form fire and extended coverage policy of
insurance, or are so damaged thereby that they are untenantable within one
hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such destruction or damage, Landlord
or Tenant may terminate this Lease by written notice to the other given within
five (5) business days after the end of the one hundred eighty (180) day period.
Within forty-five (45) days after the date of such destruction or damage,
Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant as to whether or not the Premises
will be rendered tenantable within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date
of such destruction or damage. If this Lease is not terminated by Landlord or
Tenant as set forth above, Landlord shall with due diligence render the Premises
tenantable to the extent insurance proceeds are available therefor, and rent
allocable to the untenantable portion of the Premises shall be abated while such
portion remains untenantable. If the Premises or the Building are damaged or
destroyed by any cause other than a cause insured against under Landlord's
standard form fire and extended coverage policy of insurance or if more than
twenty-five percent (25%) of the replacement value of the Building is destroyed,
then Landlord may terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant given within
thirty (30) days after such damage or destruction, which termination shall be
effective as of the date of the notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, if the Building or the Premises are damaged or destroyed within the last
twelve (12) months of the Term of this Lease, then Landlord may terminate this
Lease upon written notice to Tenant given within thirty (30) business days after
the damage or destruction occurs. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of
Subdivision 2 of Section 1932 of the California Civil Code and the
provisions of Subdivision 4 of Section 1933 of the California Civil Code, and
all successor and similar statutes and laws and agrees that this Section 12 is
intended to govern damage and destruction to the Premises and the Building.
13. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION.
---------------------
Prior to or immediately after the execution of this Lease, Tenant
shall procure from its insurers under all polices of property, liability,
workmen's compensation and other insurance now or hereafter existing during the
Term, and purchased by it insuring or covering the Premises or any portion
thereof or operations therein, a waiver of all rights of subrogation which the
insurer might otherwise have. Prior to or immediately after the execution of
this Lease, Landlord shall procure from its insurers under all polices of
property, liability, workmen's compensation and other insurance now or hereafter
existing during the Term, and purchased by Landlord insuring or covering the
Building or any portion thereof, or operations therein, a waiver of all rights
of subrogation which the insurer might otherwise have. The waiver of subrogation
under this Section 13 shall be applicable to Landlord's and Tenant's respective
agents, employees, contractors, successors, assigns and tenants or subtenants
and shall apply to all perils actually insured against by Landlord or Tenant
without regard to negligence or willful misconduct of the party so released.
14. INDEMNIFICATION.
---------------
Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord, its agents,
employees and contractors for damage to Tenant's business or any of Tenant's or
any other person's or entity's property or injury to or death of any person in,
upon or about the Premises arising at any time and from any cause other than
solely by reason of the willful act or gross negligence of Landlord, its agents,
employees or contractors. Tenant shall defend (by counsel acceptable to
Landlord), indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities and costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) arising directly or
indirectly from Tenant's (or any of Tenant's subtenants', assignees', agents',
contractors', employees', invitees', licensees' or guests') violation of any of
the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease or from the use or occupancy of
the Premises, the Building, the Generator (as defined in Exhibit "B" attached
-----------
hereto) and/or the property upon which the Generator is located, except for
those losses, claims, damages, liabilities and costs and expenses caused solely
by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Landlord, its agents, employees
or contractors. Tenant's obligations and Landlord's rights under this Section 14
shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
Landlord shall indemnify, protect, defend (by counsel reasonably
satisfactory to Tenant), and hold Tenant harmless from and against any and all
claims, demands, actions, obligations, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' and other
professional fees), incurred by or asserted against Tenant in connection with
any claim, action, or demand for bodily injury or death or property damage
arising out of (i) any negligent act or omission or willful misconduct of
Landlord or of any of Landlord's employees, officers, agents, contractors, or
representatives occurring on or about the Common Areas to the extent the same is
covered Under a standard commercial general liability insurance policy, (ii) or
any construction defects in the Premises unless due to construction or
installation of improvements or alterations in the Premises by Tenant, its
agents employees or contractors, or (iii) in connection with any Hazardous
Materials present in the Building or the Premises not caused or created by
Tenant, its agents employees or contractors. Landlord's indemnity hereunder
shall exclude any claims for lost profits, loss in value, or other consequential
damages and shall not apply to the extent of any (a) negligence or willful
misconduct of Tenant or Tenant's agents, employees or contractors, or (b) breach
of any of Tenant's warranties or obligations hereunder. Landlord's obligations
and Tenant's rights under this Section 14 shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease.
15. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW.
-------------------
Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly comply with all
laws, statutes, ordinances and governmental rules, regulations or requirements
now in force or which may hereafter be in force, with the requirements of any
board of fire underwriters or other similar body now or hereafter constituted,
with any directions or occupancy certificates issued pursuant to any law by any
public officer or officers, as well as the provisions of all recorded documents
affecting the Premises, insofar as any thereof relate to or affect the
condition, use or occupancy of the Premises, or Tenant's business conducted
therein, excluding remediation of any Hazardous Materials not caused or created
in any manner by Tenant and further excluding structural changes that are not
required due to improvements made by or for Tenant or due to Tenant's acts, but
including alterations to the Premises required by the Americans With
Disabilities Act that are required due to Tenant's alterations to the Premises.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any cost to bring the Premises into compliance
with existing (i) applicable laws, (ii) conditions, covenants or restrictions,
or (iii) lender's requirements, which are in effect as of execution hereof for
the Premises based on normal general office use shall be at Landlord's cost.
Tenant shall be responsible for compliance with all applicable laws for the
Premises being used for other than normal general office use.
16. INSURANCE.
---------
(a) Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, during the Term of
this Lease, cause all improvements at any time located in the Premises (other
than the Building standard tenant improvements) and all equipment and fixtures
from time to time used or intended to be used in connection with the operation
and maintenance of the Premises, to be insured for the mutual benefit of
Landlord and Tenant against loss or damage by fire and against loss or damage by
other risks now or hereafter included in the All-Risk insurance policy, in an
amount equal to the full insurable value thereof. All proceeds from such
insurance shall be used for the repair or replacement of such improvements,
equipment and fixtures.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease, Tenant, at
its own expense, shall also maintain the following insurance coverage. All
coverage shall be primary and non-contributory over any insurance the Landlord
may elect to provide on his behalf. Upon the commencement of the Term, and upon
renewal of such insurance coverage, Tenant shall deliver to the Landlord an
original certificate of such insurance from the insurer providing a minimum of
thirty (30) days' notice of cancellation or modification. All policies of
insurance required to be carried by Tenant under this Section 16 shall be in
form satisfactory to Landlord, shall name Landlord as an additional insured,
shall be issued by responsible insurance companies which are licensed to do
business in the State of California, and shall have a Best's rating of at least
"A" and a financial rating of not less than "X" and have been approved in
writing by Landlord. The policies shall contain cross-liability endorsements or
their equivalent, and shall be for the mutual and joint benefit and protection
of Landlord, Tenant and any other party designated by Landlord as an additional
insured.
(1) Worker's Compensation and Employer's Liability. Tenant shall
maintain Worker's Compensation insurance sufficient to comply with all
applicable State and/or Federal laws and an Employer's Liability policy with a
limit of not less than $1,000,000.
(2) Commercial General Liability. Tenant shall maintain a
Commercial General Liability policy with limits of liability not less than
$2,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 general aggregate for Bodily Injury and
Property Damage and $2,000,000 aggregate products/completed operations coverage.
Such policy shall specifically name the Landlord as additional insured. Landlord
may, at its discretion, request evidence of products insurance.
(3) Business Interruption. Tenant shall also maintain a policy
of (or obtain an endorsement providing) business interruption insurance insuring
Tenant against losses from interruption of its use of the Premises for any
reason with coverage for a period of not less than one (1) year.
(4) Property Insurance. Tenant shall maintain an All-Risk
property insurance policy on all personal property and tenant improvements and
betterments for not less than ninety percent (90%) of the replacement cost of
the same. Tenant's property policy shall not provide for a deductible in excess
of $5,000 without prior written approval of Landlord.
17. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
-------------------------
Tenant shall not assign, mortgage, pledge or otherwise transfer this
Lease, or any interest therein, either voluntarily, involuntarily, or by
operation of law, and shall not sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or any
right or privilege appurtenant thereto, or suffer any other person (the agents
and employees of Tenant excepted) to occupy or use the Premises, or any portion
thereof, without the written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may transfer its
interest in the Premises to (i) a parent company, subsidiary, or affiliate of
Tenant which controls or is controlled by or is under common control with
Tenant, (ii) a successor
corporation related to Tenant by merger, consolidation, nonbankruptcy
reorganization or government action, or (iii) a purchaser of all or
substantially all of Tenant's assets (collectively "Affiliate"), without
Landlord's consent, but upon thirty (30) days prior written notice. If Tenant is
a corporation, then a change or changes in the ownership of Tenant, whether
voluntarily, involuntarily, or by operation of law, which aggregate(s) fifty
percent (50%) or more of total capital stock of Tenant or fifty percent (50%) or
more of voting capital stock of Tenant shall be deemed an assignment of this
Lease. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, so long as Tenant's
stock is sold on a nationally recognized public exchange, no sale of stock shall
be deemed an assignment or subletting. a consent to one assignment, mortgage,
pledge, subletting, occupation, or use by any other person shall not relieve
Tenant from any obligation under this Lease and shall not be deemed to be a
consent to any subsequent assignment, mortgage, pledge, subletting, occupation
or use by another person. Any assignment, mortgage, pledge, subletting,
occupation or use without such consent shall be void, and shall, at the option
of Landlord, terminate this Lease. Tenant's request for Landlord's consent
pursuant to this Section 17 shall be submitted in writing at least forty-five
(45) days prior to the date Tenant desires to secure such consent. Such request
shall be accompanied by all relevant information reasonably necessary for
Landlord to consider such request. Any request for Landlord's consent pursuant
to this Section 17 shall also be accompanied by a payment to Landlord of $500.00
for the review, evaluation, and/or preparation of any materials or documents;
provided, however, if Landlord elects to terminate pursuant to this Section 17,
the $500.00 shall be refunded to Tenant. In lieu of considering any such request
(other than a request to the mortgage or pledge of this Lease) following the
initial Term of this Lease, Landlord may, within fifteen (15) days after receipt
thereof from Tenant, notify Tenant of Landlord's election to terminate this
Lease (or if a subletting of only a part of the Premises is involved, terminate
this Lease only as to that part and reduce the rent and other monetary
obligations of Tenant proportionately), which election, if made, shall be
effective no less than sixty (60) nor more than ninety (90) days after the date
of such election. If such election is made by Landlord, Tenant shall surrender
the Premises (or if a subletting of only a part of the Premises is involved,
only that part) to Landlord on the effective date of such termination, and
Tenant shall thereafter incur no further liability under this Lease for the
Premises (or for that part of the Premises required to be surrendered).
Tenant and Landlord shall equally divide any sums or other economic
consideration for which Tenant is entitled to as a result of an assignment,
sublease or transfer of Tenant's interest in and to the Premises, or any portion
thereof (other than (i) the rental or other payments received which are
attributable to the cost of leasehold improvements made to the assigned or
sublet portion of the Premises at the cost of Tenant, (ii) any brokerage
commission related to the assignment or sublet, and (iii) any reasonable
attorneys' fees related to the assignment or sublet, provided that each of the
foregoing costs are amortized over the term of the assignment or sublease, as
applicable), whether denominated rentals under the sublease or otherwise, which
exceed in the aggregate the total sums which Tenant is obligated to pay Landlord
under this Lease (prorated to reflect obligations allocable to that portion of
the Premises subject to such assignment or sublease) ("Net Proceeds"). Said Net
Proceeds shall be paid to Landlord (i) in the case of an assignment, in its
entirety promptly following the effective date of the assignment, or (ii) in the
case of a sublease, on a monthly basis, along with Tenant's payment of Base
Monthly Rent, without affecting or reducing any other obligation of Tenant
hereunder.
Regardless of Landlord's consent, no subletting or assignment
(including subletting or assignment to an Affiliate) shall release Tenant of
Tenant's obligations hereunder or otherwise alter the primary liability of
Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of rent or any other sum by Landlord from any
person or entity shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision
hereof. In the event of default by any assignee of Tenant or any successor of
Tenant in the performance of any of the terms hereof, Landlord may proceed
directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against
said assignee or successor. Landlord may consent to subsequent subletting or
assignments of this Lease by assignees of Tenant without notifying Tenant or any
successor of Tenant, and without obtaining its or their consent thereto and such
action shall not relieve Tenant of any liability under this Lease.
18. RULES.
-----
Tenant shall faithfully observe and comply with the rules and
regulations annexed to this Lease as Exhibit "D" and, after notice thereof, all
-----------
reasonable modification thereof and additions thereto from time to time
promulgated in writing by Landlord. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant
for the nonperformance by any other tenant or occupant of the Building of any of
said rules and regulations.
19. ENTRY BY LANDLORD.
-----------------
Landlord may enter the Premises at reasonable hours upon twenty-four
(24) hours prior notice (except (i) in the event of emergency or to provide
services pursuant to subsection (d) below in which case no notice shall be
necessary or (ii) only eight (8)hours prior notice shall be required with
respect to exhibiting the Premises to prospective tenants during the last seven
(7) months of the Term; provided, however, that Tenant shall use reasonable
efforts to cooperate with Landlord in the event Landlord provides fewer than
eight (8) hours notice) to: (a) inspect the same; (b) exhibit the same to
prospective purchasers, lenders or tenants; (c) determine whether Tenant is
complying with all of Tenant's obligations hereunder; (d) supply janitor service
and any other service to be provided by Landlord to Tenant hereunder, (e) post
notice of non-responsibility; and (f) make repairs required of Landlord under
the terms hereof or repairs to any adjoining space or utility service or make
repairs, alterations or improvements to any other portion of the Building,
provided, however, that all such work shall be done as promptly as reasonably
possible and so as to cause as little interference to Tenant as reasonably
possible. Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages for any injury or
inconvenience to or interference with Tenant's business, any loss of occupancy
or quiet enjoyment of the Premises or any other loss occasioned by such entry.
Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all of
the doors in, on or about Premises (excluding Tenant's vaults, safes and similar
areas designated in writing by Tenant in advance) and Landlord shall have the
right to use any and all means which Landlord may deem proper to open said doors
in an emergency in order to obtain entry to the Premises. Any entry to the
Premises obtained by Landlord by any of said means, or otherwise, shall not be
construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into or a detainer of the
Premises or an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant from the Premises, or
any portion thereof.
20. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.
-----------------
The occurrence of any one or more of the following events ("Events of
Default") shall constitute a breach of this Lease by Tenant: (a) if Tenant shall
fail to pay any rent (including Base Rent and Tenant's Share of Increased Costs)
within three (3) days after the date such rent becomes due and payable, or (b)
if Tenant shall fail to pay any other sum when and as the same becomes due and
payable and such failure shall continue for more than ten (10) business days
after receipt of written notice that such payment is overdue; or (c) if Tenant
shall fail to perform or observe any other term hereof or of the rules and
regulations described in Section 18 to be performed or observed by Tenant, such
failure shall continue for more than thirty (30) days after notice thereof from
Landlord and Tenant shall not within such period commence with due diligence and
dispatch the curing of such default, or, having so commenced, shall thereafter
fail or neglect to prosecute or complete with clue diligence and dispatch the
curing of such default; or (d) if Tenant shall make a general assignment for the
benefit of creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts
as they become due or shall file a petition in bankruptcy, or shall be
adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or shall file a petition seeking any
reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution
or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, or
shall fail any answer admitting or shall fail timely to contest the material
allegations of a petition filed against it in any such proceeding, or shall seek
or consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver or
liquidator of Tenant or any material part of its properties; or (e) if within
thirty (30) days after the commencement of any proceeding against Tenant seeking
any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation,
dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or
regulation, such proceeding shall not have been dismissed, or if, within thirty
(30) days after the appointment without the consent or acquiescence of Tenant or
of any material part of its properties, such appointment shall not have been
vacated; or (f) if this Lease or any estate of Tenant hereunder shall be levied
upon under any attachment or execution and such attachment or execution is not
vacated within ten (10) days; or (g) if any other event occurs which is
described in this Lease as a material breach of, or default under, this Lease.
21. TERMINATION UPON DEFAULT.
------------------------
If an Event of Default shall occur, Landlord at any time there after
may give a written termination notice to Tenant, and on the date specified in
such notice (which shall be not less than three (3) days after the giving of
such notice) Tenant's right to possession and this Lease shall terminate, unless
on or before such date all rent and other sums payable by Tenant under this
Lease (together with interest thereon at the maximum rate allowable by law) and
all costs have been paid by Tenant and all other breaches of this Lease by
Tenant at the time existing shall have been fully remedied. Upon such
termination, Landlord may recover from Tenant: (a) the worth at the time of
award of the unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of termination; (b)
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; (c) 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; and (d) any other amount necessary to compensate
Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform
its obligations under this Lease or which results therefrom. The "worth at the
time of award" of the amounts referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above shall be
computed by allowing interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. The
worth at the time of award of the amount referred to in clause (c) above shall
be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal
Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%). For
the purposes of determining unpaid rent under clauses (a), (b) and (c) above,
the monthly rent reserved in this Lease shall be deemed to be the rent due under
Sections 4 and 5 above, as adjusted by Section 6.
22. CONTINUATION AFTER DEFAULT.
--------------------------
Landlord also has the remedy described in 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 the right to
sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). Acts of maintenance
or preservation or efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of a
receiver upon application of Landlord to protect Landlord's interest under this
Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant's right to possession.
23. OTHER RELIEF.
------------
The remedies provided for in this Lease are in addition to any other
remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity by statute or otherwise.
24. PARKING.
-------
Unless Tenant is in default under this Lease resulting in delivery of
a written termination notice pursuant to Section 21 above, Tenant shall be
entitled to fifty-four (54) unreserved vehicle parking spaces (based on (i) 3.8
spaces per 1,000 usable square feet in the Premises which is used as office
space, and (ii) 1 space per 750 usable square feet in the Premises which is used
as light industrial space (i.e., the Data Center)) in the Building parking
facility at no cost to Tenant during the initial Term of the Lease or the
Extension Term, if exercised. Thereafter, if applicable, parking spaces shall be
subject to a monthly parking fee for such spaces designated by Landlord for
parking, with Landlord reserving the right to set and increase monthly parking
fees for such spaces from time to time during the Term of this Lease. Upon
Tenant's completion of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall provide Landlord
with certification by Tenant's Space Planner (as defined in Exhibit "B" attached
-----------
hereto) of the usable square footage of the Data Center (which usable square
footage shall be subject to Landlord's verification), and the number of parking
spaces set forth above shall be adjusted accordingly (i.e., 19,435 [-] Data
Center usable square footage = office space usable square footage; [(office
space usable square footage/1,000) * 3.8] + [(Data Center usable square
footage/750] = total unreserved vehicle parking spaces). Landlord may assign any
unreserved and unassigned parking spaces and/or make all or a portion of such
spaces reserved, if it determines in its reasonable discretion that it is
necessary for orderly and efficient parking. Tenant shall not use more parking
than said number. If Landlord has not assigned specific spaces to Tenant, Tenant
shall not use any spaces which have been so specifically assigned by Landlord to
other tenants or for such other uses as visitor parking or which have been
designated by governmental entities with competent jurisdiction as being
restricted to certain uses. Tenant shall not permit or allow any vehicles that
belong to or are controlled by Tenant or Tenant's employees, suppliers,
shippers, customers, or invitees to be loaded, unloaded, or parking in areas
other than those designated by Landlord for such activities. If Tenant permits
or allows any of the prohibited activities described in this Section 24, then
Landlord shall have the right, without notice, in addition to such other rights
and remedies that it may have, to remove or tow away the vehicle involved and
charge the cost to Tenant, which cost shall be immediately payable upon demand
by Landlord. Landlord reserves the right at any time to relocate such spaces and
to substitute an equivalent number of parking spaces in a parking structure or
subterranean parking facility or in a surface parking area within a reasonable
distance of the Premises.
If requested by Landlord, Tenant shall submit a written notice in a
form reasonably specified by Landlord containing the names and office addresses
and telephone numbers of those persons who are authorized by Tenant to use the
parking spaces on a
monthly basis (the "Authorized Users") and shall use its best efforts to
identify each automobile by make, model and license number. Such notice, as
amended from time to time, is hereafter referred to as the "Parking Notice." No
person whose name, address, and phone numbers are not contained in the Parking
Notice shall have any right to park an automobile in the area of the parking
facilities designated for monthly parking and no person whether or not their
name is included in the Parking Notice shall have any right to park an
automobile not identified in the Parking Notice without (in either case) paying
the parking charge then applicable for daily parking in the parking facilities
for the Building and parking in the area designated for daily parking.
Tenant and Authorized Users shall comply with all rules and
regulations as set forth in the Parking Rules and Regulations portion of the
rules and regulations adopted by Landlord from time to time. Landlord may refuse
to permit any person who violates the Parking Rules and Regulations to park in
the parking facility, and any violation of the rules shall subject the car to
removal. Tenant agrees to use its best efforts to acquaint all Authorized Users
and visitors with the Parking Rules and Regulations.
All responsibility for damage to cars is assumed by Authorized Users.
Tenant shall repair or cause to be repaired at its sole cost and expense any and
all damage to the parking facility or any part thereof caused by Tenant or its
Authorized Users or resulting from vehicles of Authorized Users.
25. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED
26. TRADE FIXTURES.
--------------
Subject to the provisions of Sections 7 and 8 hereof, Tenant shall
install and maintain, its trade fixtures on the Premises, provided that such
fixtures, by reason of the manner in which they are affixed, do not become an
integral part of the Building or Premises. Tenant, if not in default hereunder,
may at any time or from time to time during the Term, or upon the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease, alter or remove any such trade fixtures so
installed by Tenant. If not so removed by Tenant on or before the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant, upon the request of Landlord to do
so, shall thereupon remove the same. Any damage to the Premises caused by any
installation, alteration or removal of such trade fixtures shall be promptly
repaired at the expense of Tenant.
27. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.
----------------------
Subject to the provisions hereof relating to assignment, mortgaging,
pledging and subletting, this Lease shall bind the heirs, executors,
