4
any change in ownership of the Complex) 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 against, or with respect to the value, occupancy or use of, all or any
portion of the Complex (as now constructed or as may at any time hereafter be
constructed, altered, or otherwise changed) or Landlord's interest therein; any
improvements located within the Complex (regardless of ownership); the fixtures,
equipment and other property of Landlord, real or personal, that are an integral
part of and located in the Complex; or parking areas, public utilities or energy
within the Complex; (ii) all charges, levies or fees imposed by reason of
environmental regulation or other governmental control of the Complex; and (iii)
all costs and fees (including attorneys' fees) 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 term of this Lease the
taxation or assessment of the Complex prevailing as of the commencement date of
this Lease shall be altered so that in lieu of or in additional to any Real
Property Tax described above there shall be levied, assessed 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 or additional tax or charge (i)
on the value, use or occupancy of the Complex or Landlord's interest therein or
(ii) on or measured by the gross receipts, income or rentals from the Complex,
on Landlord's business of leasing the Complex, or computed in any manner with
respect to the operation of the Complex, then any such tax or charge, however
designated, shall be included within the meaning of the term "Real Property
Taxes" for purposes of this Lease. If any Real Property Tax is based upon
property or rents unrelated to the Complex, then only that part of such Real
Property Tax that is fairly allocable to the Complex shall be included within
the meaning of the term "Real Property Taxes". Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the term "Real Property Taxes" shall not included estate, inheritance, gift or
franchise taxes of Landlord or the federal or state net income tax imposed on
Landlord's income from all sources. The term "Real Estate Taxes" shall also
include supplemental taxes related to the period of Tenant's Lease Term whenever
levied, including any such taxes that may be levied after the Lease Term has
expired.
B. Taxes on Tenant's Property
(a) Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay ten days before delinquency, taxes
levied against any personal property or trade fixtures placed by Tenant in or
about the Premises. If any such taxes on Tenant's personal property or trade
fixtures are levied against Landlord or Landlord's property or if the assessed
value of the Premises is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed
upon such personal property or trade fixtures of Tenant and if Landlord, after
written notice to Tenant, pays the taxes based on such increased assessment,
which Landlord shall have the right to do regardless of the validity thereof,
but only under property protest if requested by Tenant, Tenant shall upon
demand, as the case may be, repay to Landlord the taxes so levied against
Landlord, or the proportion of such taxes resulting from such increase in the
assessment; provided that in any such event Tenant shall have the right, in the
name of Landlord and with Landlord's full cooperation, to bring suit in any
court of competent jurisdiction to recover the amount of any such taxes so paid
under protest, and any amount recovered shall belong to Tenant.
(b) if the Tenant improvements in the Premises, whether installed, and/or
paid for by Landlord or Tenant and whether or not affixed to the real property
so as to become a part thereof, are assessed for real property tax purposes at a
valuation higher than the valuation at which standard office improvements in
other space in the Complex are assessed, then the real property taxes and
assessments levied against Landlord or the Complex by reason of such excess
assessed valuation shall be deemed to be taxes levied against personal property
of Tenant and shall be governed by the provisions of 12Ba, above. If the records
of the County Assessor are available and sufficiently detailed to serve as a
basis for determining whether said Tenant improvements are assessed at a higher
valuation than standard office improvements in other space in the Complex, such
records shall be binding on both the Landlord and the Tenant. If the records of
the County Assessor are not available or sufficiently detailed to serve as a
basis for making said determination, the actual cost of construction shall be
used.
13. LIABILITY INSURANCE Tenant at Tenant's expense, agrees to keep in force
during the term of this Lease a policy of commercial general liability
insurance with a combined single limit coverage of not less than Two Million
Dollars ($2,000,000) per occurrence for injuries to or death of persons
occurring in, on or about the Premises or the Complex, and property damage
insurance with limits of $500,000. The policy or policies affecting such
insurance, certificates of insurance of which shall be furnished to Landlord,
shall name Landlord as additional insureds, and shall insure any liability of
Landlord, contingent or otherwise, as respects acts or omissions of Tenant, its
agents, employees or invitees or otherwise by any conduct or transactions of
any of said persons in or about or concerning the Premises, including any
failure of Tenant to observe or perform any of its obligations hereunder, shall
be issued by an insurance company admitted to transact business in the State of
California; and shall provide that the insurance effected thereby shall not be
canceled, except upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Landlord. If,
during the term of this Lease, in the considered opinion of Landlord's Lender,
insurance advisor, or counsel, the amount of insurance described in this
paragraph 13 is not adequate, Tenant agrees to increase said coverage to such
reasonable amount as Landlord's Lender, insurance advisor, or counsel shall
deem adequate.
14. TENANT'S PERSONAL PROPERTY INSURANCE AND XXXXXXX'X COMPENSATION INSURANCE
Tenant shall maintain a policy or policies of fire and property damage insurance
in "all risk" form with a sprinkler leakage endorsement insuring the personal
property, inventory, trade fixtures, and leasehold improvements within the
leased Premises for the full replacement value thereof. The proceeds from any of
such policies shall be used for the repair or replacement of such items so
insured.
Tenant shall also maintain a policy or policies of xxxxxxx'x compensation
insurance and any other employee benefit insurance sufficient to comply with
all laws.
15. PROPERTY INSURANCE Landlord shall purchase and keep in force and as
Additional Rent and in accordance with Paragraph 4D of this Lease, Tenant shall
pay to Landlord (or Landlord's agent if so directed by Landlord) Tenant's
proportionate share (calculated on a square footage or other equitable basis as
calculated by Landlord) of the deductibles on insurance claims and the cost of
policy or policies of insurance covering loss or damage to the Premises or
Complex in the amount of the full replacement value thereof, providing
protection against those perils included within the classification of "all
risks" insurance and flood and/or earthquake insurance, if available, plus a
policy of rental income insurance in the amount of one hundred (100%) percent
of twelve (12) months Basic Rent, plus sums paid as Additional Rent and any
deductibles related thereto. If such insurance cost is increased due to
Tenant's use of the Premises or the Complex, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord
the full cost of such increase. Tenant shall have no interest in nor any right
to the proceeds of any insurance procured by Landlord for the Complex.
Landlord and Tenant do each hereby respectively release the other, to the
extent of insurance coverage of the releasing party, from any liability for loss
or damage caused by fire or any of the extended coverage casualties included in
the releasing party's insurance policies, irrespective of the cause of such fire
or casualty; provided, however, that if the insurance policy of either releasing
party prohibits such waiver, then this waiver shall not take effect until
consent to such waiver is obtained. If such waiver is so prohibited, the insured
party affected shall promptly notify the other party thereof.
16. INDEMNIFICATION Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant and Tenant hereby
waives all claims against Landlord for any injury to or death of any person or
damage to or destruction of property in or about the Premises or the Complex by
or from any cause whatsoever, including, without limitation, gas, fire, oil,
electricity or leakage of any character from the roof, walls, basement or other
portion of the Premises or the Complex but excluding, however, the willful
misconduct or negligence of Landlord, its agents, servants, employees, invitees,
or contractors of which negligence Landlord has knowledge and reasonable time to
correct. Except as to injury to persons or damage to property to the extent
arising from the willful misconduct or the negligence of Landlord, its agents,
servants, employees, invitees, or contractors. Tenant shall hold Landlord
harmless from and defend Landlord against any and all expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, in connection therewith, arising out of any injury
to or death of any person or damage to or destruction of property occurring in,
on or about the Premises, or any part thereof, from any cause whatsoever.
17. COMPLIANCE Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall promptly comply
with all laws, statutes, ordinances and governmental rules, regulations or
requirements now or hereafter in effect; with the requirements of any board of
fire underwriters or other similar body now or hereafter constituted; and with
any direction or occupancy certificate issued pursuant to law by any public
officer; provided, however, that no such failure shall be deemed a breach of the
provisions if Tenant, immediately upon notification, commences to remedy or
rectify said failure. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the
admission of Tenant in any action against Tenant, whether Landlord be a party
thereto or not, that Tenant has violated any such law, statute, ordinance or
governmental rule, regulation, requirement, direction or provision, shall be
conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant. This paragraph shall not
be interpreted as requiring Tenant to make structural changes or improvements,
except to the extent such changes or improvements are required as a result of
Tenant's use of the Premises. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply
with any and all requirements pertaining to said Premises, of any insurance
organization or company, necessary for the maintenance of reasonable fire and
public liability insurance covering the Premises.
18. LIENS Tenant shall keep the Premises and the Complex free from any liens
arising out of any work performed, materials furnished or obligation incurred by
Tenant. In the event that Tenant shall not, within ten (10) days following the
imposition of such lien, cause the same to be released of record, Landlord shall
have, in addition to all other remedies provided herein and by law, the right,
but no obligation, to cause the same to be released by such means as it shall
deem proper, including payment of the claim giving rise to such lien. All sums
paid by Landlord for such purpose, and all expenses incurred by it in connection
therewith, shall be payable to Landlord by Tenant on demand with interest at the
prime rate of interest as quoted by the Bank of America.

19. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING Tenant shall not assign, transfer, or
hypothecate the leasehold estate under this lease, or any interest therein, and
shall not sublet the Premises, or any part thereof, or any right or privilege
appurtenant thereto, or suffer any other person or entity to occupy or use the
Premises, or any portion thereof, without, in each case, the prior written
consent of Landlord which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. As a
condition of granting this consent to any assignment, transfer, or subletting,
Landlord shall require Tenant to pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, all rent
and/or additional consideration due Tenant from its assignees, transferees, or
subtenants in excess of the Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder for
the assigned, transferred and/or subleased space. Tenant shall, by thirty (30)
days written notice, advise Landlord of its intent to assign or transfer
Tenant's interest in the Lease or sublet the Premises or any portion thereof
for any part of the term hereof. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of said
written notice, Landlord may, in its sole discretion, elect to terminate this
Lease as to the portion of the Premises described in Tenant's notice on the
date specified in Tenant's notice by giving written notice of such election to
terminate. If no such notice to terminate is given to Tenant within said thirty
(30) day period, Tenant may proceed to locate an acceptable sublessee,
assignee, or other transferee for presentment to Landlord for Landlord's
approval, all in accordance with the terms, covenants, and conditions of this
paragraph 19. If Tenant intends to sublet the entire Premises and Landlord
elects to terminate this Lease, this Lease shall be terminated on the date
specified in Tenant's notice. If, however, this Lease shall terminate pursuant
to the foregoing with respect to less than all the Premises, the rent, as
defined and reserved hereinabove shall be adjusted on a pro rata basis to the
number of square feet retained by Tenant, and this Lease as so amended shall
continue in full force and effect. In the event Tenant is allowed to assign,
transfer or sublet the whole or any part of the Premises, with the prior
written consent of Landlord, no assignee, transferee or subtenant shall assign
or transfer this Lease, either in whole or in part, or sublet the whole or any
part of the Premises, without also having obtained the prior written consent
of Landlord. A consent of Landlord in one assignment, transfer, hypothecation,
subletting, occupation or use by any other person shall not release Tenant from
any of Tenant's obligations hereunder or be deemed to be a consent to any
subsequent similar or dissimilar assignment, transfer, hypothecation,
subletting, occupation or use by any other person. Any such assignment,
transfer, hypothecation, subletting, occupation or use without such consent
shall be void and shall constitute a breach of this Lease by Tenant and shall,
at the option of Landlord exercised by written notice to Tenant, terminate this
Lease. The leasehold estate under this Lease shall not, nor shall any interest
therein, be assignable for any purpose by operation of law without the written
consent of Landlord. As a condition to its consent, Landlord shall require
Tenant to pay all expenses in connection with the assignment, and Landlord
shall require Tenant's assignee or transferee (or other assignees or
transferees) to assume in writing all of the obligations under this Lease and
for Tenant to remain liable to Landlord under the Lease. Notwithstanding the
above, in no event will Landlord consent to a sub-lease.
20. SUBORDINATION AND MORTGAGES In the event Landlord's title or leasehold
interest is now or hereafter encumbered by a deed of trust, upon the interest
of Landlord in the land and buildings in which the demised Premises are
located, to secure a loan from a lender (hereinafter referred to as "Lender")
to Landlord, Tenant shall, at the request of Landlord or Lender, execute in
writing an agreement subordinating its rights under this Lease to the lien of
such deed of trust, or, if so requested, agreeing that the lien of Lender's
deed of trust shall be or remain subject and subordinate to the rights of
Tenant under this Lease. Notwithstanding any such subordination, Tenant's
possession under this Lease shall not be disturbed if Tenant is not in default
and so long as Tenant shall pay all rent and observe and perform all of the
provisions set forth in this Lease.
21. ENTRY BY LANDLORD Landlord reserves, and shall at all reasonable times
after at least 24 hours notice (except in emergencies) have, the right to enter
the Premises to inspect them; to perform any services to be provided by
Landlord hereunder; to submit the Premises to prospective purchasers,
mortgagers or tenants; to post notices of nonresponsibility; and to alter,
improve or repair the Premises and any portion of the Complex, all without
abatement of rent; and may erect scaffolding and other necessary structures in
or through the premises where reasonably required by the character of the work
to be performed; provided, however that the business of Tenant shall be
interfered with to the least extent that is reasonably practical. For each of
the foregoing purposes, Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key with
which to unlock all of the doors in an emergency in order to obtain entry to the
Premises, and any entry to the Premises obtained by Landlord by any of said
means, or otherwise, shall not under any circumstances 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. Landlord shall also have the right at any time to change the
arrangement or location of entrances or passageways, doors and doorways, and
corridors, elevators, stairs, toilets or other public parts of the Complex and
to change the name, number or designation by which the Complex is commonly
known, and none of the foregoing shall be deemed an actual or constructive
eviction of Tenant, or shall entitle Tenant to any reduction of rent hereunder.
22. BANKRUPTCY AND DEFAULT The commencement of a bankruptcy action or
liquidation action or reorganization action or insolvency action or an
assignment of or by Tenant for the benefit of creditors, or any similar action
undertaken by Tenant, or the insolvency of Tenant, shall, at Landlord's option,
constitute a breach of this Lease by Tenant. If the trustee or receiver
appointed to serve during a bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, insolvency
or similar action elects to reject Tenant's unexpired Lease, the trustee or
receiver shall notify Landlord in writing of its election within thirty (30)
days after an order for relief in a liquidation action or within thirty (30)
days after the commencement of any action.
Within thirty (30) days after court approval of the assumption of this
Lease, the trustee or receiver shall cure (or provide adequate assurance to the
reasonable satisfaction of Landlord that the trustee or receiver shall cure)
any and all previous defaults under the unexpired Lease and shall compensate
Landlord for all actual pecuniary loss and shall provide adequate assurance of
future performance under said Lease to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord.
Adequate assurance of future performance, as used herein, includes, but shall
not be limited to: (i) assurance of source and payment of rent, and other
consideration due under this Lease; (ii) assurance that the assumption or
assignment of this Lease will not breach substantially any provision, such as
radius, location, use or exclusivity provision, in any agreement relating to
the above described Premises.
Nothing contained in this section shall affect the existing right of
Landlord to refuse to accept an assignment upon commencement of or in
connection with a bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization or insolvency action
or an assignment of Tenant for the benefit of creditors or other similar act.
Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed as giving or granting or
creating an equity in the demised Premises to Tenant. In no event shall the
leasehold estate under this Lease, or any interest therein, be assigned by
voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding without the prior written
consent of Landlord. In no event shall this Lease or any rights or privileges
hereunder be an asset of Tenant under any bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization proceedings.
The failure to perform or honor any covenant, condition or representation
made under this Lease shall constitute a default hereunder by Tenant upon
expiration of the appropriate grace period hereinafter provided. Tenant shall
have a period of five (5) days from the date of written notice from Landlord
within which to cure any default in the payment of rental or adjustment
thereto. Tenant shall have a period of thirty (30) days from the date of
written notice from Landlord within which to cure any other default under this
Lease; provided, however, that if the nature of Tenant's failure is such that
more than thirty (30) days is reasonably required to cure the same, Tenant
shall not be in default so long as Tenant commences performance within such
thirty (30) day period and thereafter prosecutes the same to completion. Upon
an uncured default of this Lease by Tenant, Landlord shall have the following
rights and remedies in addition to any other rights or remedies available to
Landlord at law or in equity:
(a). The rights and remedies provided for by California Civil Code Section
1951.2, including but not limited to, recovery of 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 rental loss for the same period that
Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided, as computed pursuant to subsection
(b) of said Section 1951.2. Any proof by Tenant under subparagraphs (2) and (30
of Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code of the amount of rental loss
that could be reasonably avoided shall be made in the following manner:
Landlord and Tenant shall each select a licensed real estate broker in the
business of renting property of the same type and use as the Premises and in
the same geographic vicinity. Such two real estate brokers shall select a third
licensed real estate broker, and the three licensed real estate brokers so
selected shall determine the amount of the rental loss that could be reasonably
avoided from the balance of the term of this Lease after the time of award. The
decision of the majority of said licensed real estate brokers shall be final
and binding upon the parties hereto.
(b). The rights and remedies provided by California Civil Code Section
which allows Landlord to continue the Lease in effect and to enforce all of its
rights and remedies under this lease, including the right to recover rent as it
becomes due, for so long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant's right to
possession; acts of maintenance or preservation, efforts to relet the Premises,
or the appointment of a receiver upon Landlord's initiative to protect its
interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant's right
to possession.
(c). The right to terminate this Lease by giving notice to Tenant in
accordance with applicable law.
(d). To the extent permitted by law The right and power to enter the
Premises and remove therefrom all persons and property, to store such property
in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant,
and to sell such property and apply such proceeds therefrom pursuant to
applicable California law. Landlord may from time to time sublet the Premises or
any part thereof for such term or terms (which may extend beyond the term of
this Lease) and at such rent and such other terms as Landlord in its sole
discretion may deem advisable, with the right to make alterations and repairs to
the Premises. Upon each subletting, (i) Tenant shall be immediately liable to
pay Landlord, in addition to indebtedness other than rent due hereunder, the
cost of such subletting, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys'
fees, and any real estate commissions actually paid, and the cost of such
alterations and repairs incurred by Landlord and the amount, if any, by which
the rent hereunder for the period of such subletting (to the extent such period
does not exceed the term hereof) exceeds the amount to be paid as rent for the
Premises for such period or (ii) at the option of Landlord, rents received from
such subletting shall be applied first to payment of indebtedness other than
rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any costs
of such subletting and of such alterations and repairs; third to payment of rent
due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and
applied in payment of future rent as the same becomes due hereunder. If Tenant
has been credited with any rent to be received by such subletting under option
(i) and such rent shall not be promptly paid to Landlord by the subtenant(s), or
if such rentals received from such subletting under option (ii) during any month
be less than that to be paid during that month by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall
pay any such deficiency to Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and
paid monthly. No taking possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be
construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease unless a written
notice of such
page 5 of 8
6
intention be given to Tenant. Notwithstanding any such subletting without
termination, Landlord may at any time hereafter elect to terminate this Lease
for such previous breach.
(e). The right to have a receiver appointed for Tenant upon application by
Landlord, to take possession of the Premises and to apply any rental collected
from the Premises and to exercise all other rights and remedies granted to
Landlord pursuant to subparagraph d above.
23. ABANDONMENT Tenant shall not vacate or abandon the Premises at any time
during the term of this Lease and if Tenant shall abandon, vacate or surrender
said Premises, or be dispossessed by the process of law, or otherwise, any
personal property belonging to Tenant and left on the Premises shall be deemed
to be abandoned, at the option of Landlord, except such property as may be
mortgaged to Landlord.
24. DESTRUCTION In the event the Premises are destroyed in whole or in part
from any cause, except for routine maintenance and repairs and incidental
damage and destruction caused from vandalism and accidents for which Tenant is
responsible for under Xxxxxxxxx 00, Xxxxxxxx may, at its option:
(a) Rebuild or restore the Premises to their condition prior to the damage or
destruction, or
(b) Terminate this Lease. (providing that the Premises is damaged to the
extent of 33 1/3% of the replacement cost)
If Landlord does not give Tenant notice in writing within thirty (30) days
from the destruction of the Premises of its election to either rebuild and
restore them, or to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall be deemed to have
elected to rebuild or restore them, in which event Landlord agrees, at its
expense, promptly to rebuild or restore the Premises to their condition prior to
the damage or destruction. Tenant shall be entitled to a reduction in rent while
such repair is being made in the proportion that the area of the Premises
rendered untenantable by such damage bears to the total area of the Premies. If
Landlord initially estimates that the rebuilding or restoration will exceed 180
days or if Landlord does not complete the rebuilding or restoration within one
hundred eighty (180) days following the date of destruction (such period of time
to be extended for delays caused by the fault or neglect of Tenant or because of
Acts of God, acts of public agencies, labor disputes, strikes, fires, freight
embargoes, rainy or stormy weather, inability to obtain materials, supplies or
fuels, acts of contractors or subcontractors, or delay of the contractors or
subcontractors due to such causes or other contingencies beyond the control of
Landlord), then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving
fifteen (15) days prior written notice to Landlord. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, Landlord's obligation to rebuild or restore shall be
limited to the building and interior improvements constructed by Landlord as
they existed as of the commencement date of the Lease and shall not include
restoration of Tenant's trade fixtures, equipment, merchandise, or any
improvements, alterations or additions made by Tenant to the Premises, which
Tenant shall forthwith replace or fully repair at Tenant's sole cost and expense
provided this Lease is not cancelled according to the provisions above.
Unless this Lease is terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions, this
Lease shall remain in full force and effect. Tenant hereby expressly waives the
provisions of Section 1932, Subdivision 2, in Section 1933, Subdivision 4 of the
California Civil Code.
In the event that the building in which the Premises are situated is damaged
or destroyed to the extent of not less than 33 1/3% of the replacement cost
thereof, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease, whether the Premises be
injured or not. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord may
terminate this Lease in the event of an uninsured event or if insurance proceeds
are insufficient to cover one hundred percent of the rebuilding costs net of the
deductible.
25. EMINENT DOMAIN If all or any part of the Premises shall be taken by any
public or quasi-public authority under the power of eminent domain or
conveyance in lieu thereof, this Lease shall terminate as to any portion of the
Premises so taken or conveyed on the date when title vests in the condemnor, and
Landlord shall be entitled to any and all payment, income, rent, award, or any
interest therein whatsoever which may be paid or made in connection with such
taking or conveyance, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or
otherwise for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease. Notwithstanding
the foregoing paragraph, any compensation specifically awarded Tenant for loss
of business, Tenant's personal property, moving cost or loss of goodwill, shall
be and remain the property of Tenant.
If (i) any action or proceeding is commenced for such taking of the premises
or any part thereof, or if Landlord is advised in writing by any entity or body
having the right or power of condemnation of its intention to condemn the
premises or any portion thereof, or (ii) any of the foregoing events occur with
respect to the taking of any space in the Complex not leased hereby, or if any
such spaces so taken or conveyed in lieu of such taking and Landlord shall
decide to discontinue the use and operation of the Complex, or decide to
demolish, alter or rebuild the Complex, then, in any of such events Landlord
shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice
thereof within sixty (60) days of the date of receipt of said written advice, or
commencement of said action or proceeding, or taking conveyance, which
termination shall take place as of the first to occur of the last day of the
calendar month next following the month in which such notice is given or the
date on which title to the Premises shall vest in the condemnor.
In the event of such a partial taking or conveyance of the Premises, if the
portion of the Premises taken or conveyed is so substantial that the Tenant can
no longer reasonably conduct its business. Tenant shall have the privilege of
terminating this Lease within sixty (60) days from the date of such taking or
conveyance, upon written notice to Landlord of its intention so to do, and upon
giving of such notice this Lease shall terminate on the last day of the calendar
month next following the month in which such notice is given, upon payment by
Tenant of the rent from the date of such taking or conveyance to the date of
termination.
If a portion of the Premises be taken by condemnation or conveyance in lieu
thereof and neither Landlord nor Tenant shall terminate this Lease as provided
herein, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as to the part of the
Premises not so taken or conveyed, and the rent herein shall be apportioned as
of the date of such taking or conveyance so that thereafter the rent to be paid
by Tenant shall be in the ratio that the area of the portion of the Premises not
so taken or conveyed bears to the total area of the Premises prior to such
taking.
26. SALE OR CONVEYANCE BY LANDLORD In the event or a sale or conveyance of the
Complex or any interest therein, by any owner of the reversion then constituting
Landlord, the transferor shall thereby be released from any further liability
upon any of the terms, covenants or conditions (express or implied) herein
contained in favor of Tenant, and in such event, insofar as such transfer is
concerned. Tenant agrees to look solely to the responsibility of the successor
in interest of such transferor in and to the Complex and this Lease. This Lease
shall not be affected by any such sale or conveyance, and Tenant agrees to
attorn to the successor in interest of such transferor.
27. ATTORNMENT TO LENDER OF THIRD PARTY In the event the interest of Landlord
in the land and buildings in which the leased Premises are located (whether
such interest of Landlord is a fee title interest or a leasehold interest) is
encumbered by deed of trust, and such interest is acquired by the lender or any
third party through judicial foreclosure or by exercise of a power of sale at
private trustee's foreclosure sale. Tenant hereby agrees to attorn to the
purchaser at any such foreclosure sale and to recognize such purchaser as the
Landlord under this Lease. In the event the lien of the deed of trust securing
the loan from a lender to Landlord is prior and paramount to the Lease, this
Lease shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect for the remainder of
the unexpired term hereof, at the same rental herein reserved and upon all the
other terms, conditions and covenants herein contained.
28. HOLDING OVER Any holding over by Tenant after expiration or other
termination of the term of this Lease with the written consent of Landlord
delivered to Tenant shall not constitute a renewal or extension of the Lease or
give Tenant any rights in or to the leased Premises except as expressly
provided in this Lease. Any holding over after the expiration or other
termination of the term of this Lease, with the consent of Landlord, 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 monthly Base Rent shall
be increased to an amount equal to one hundred fifty (150%) percent of the
monthly Basic Rent required during the last month of the Lease term.
29. CERTIFICATE OF ESTOPPEL Tenant shall at any time upon not less than ten
(10) days' prior written notice to Landlord execute, acknowledge and deliver to
Landlord a statement in writing (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) and the date to which the rent and other charges are paid in
advance, if any, and (ii) 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. Any such statement may be
conclusively relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the
Premises. Tenant's failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be
conclusive upon Tenant that this Lease is in full force and effect, without
modification except as may be represented by Landlord; that there are no
uncured defaults in Landlord's performance, and that not more than one month's
rent has been paid in advance.
30. CONSTRUCTION CHANGES It is understood that the description of the Premises
and the location of ductwork, plumbing and other facilities therein are subject
to such minor changes as Landlord or Landlord's architect determines to be
desirable in the course of construction of the Premises, and no such changes, or
any changes in plans for any other portions of the Complex shall affect this
Lease or entitle Tenant to any reduction of rent hereunder or result in any
liability of Landlord to Tenant. Landlord does not guarantee the accuracy of any
drawings supplied to Tenant and verification of the accuracy of such drawings
rests with Tenant
31. RIGHT OF LANDLORD TO PERFORM All terms, covenants and conditions of this
Lease to be performed or observed by Tenant shall be performed or observed by
Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense and without any reduction of rent. If
Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money, or other rent, required to be paid
by it hereunder and such failure shall continue for five (5) days after written
notice thereof by Landlord, or shall fail to perform any other term or covenant
hereunder on its part to be performed, and such failure shall continue for
thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by Landlord, Landlord, without
waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligation of Tenant hereunder, may, but
shall not be obligated to, make any such payment or perform
page 6 of 8
7
any such other term or covenant on Tenant's part to be performed. All sums so
paid by Landlord and all necessary costs of such performance by Landlord
together with interest thereon at the rate of the prime rate of interest per
annum as quoted by the Bank of America from the date of such payment or
performance by Landlord, shall be paid (and Tenant covenants to make such
payment) to Landlord on demand by Landlord, and Landlord shall have (in
addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord) the same rights and remedies
in the event of nonpayment by Tenant as in the case of failure by Tenant in the
payment of rent hereunder.
32. ATTORNEYS' FEES.
(A) In the event that either Landlord or Tenant should bring suit for the
possession of the Premises, for the recovery of any sum due under this Lease,
or because of the breach of any provision of this Lease, or for any other
relief against the other party hereunder, then all costs and expenses,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by the prevailing party therein
shall be paid by the other party, which obligation on the part of the other
party shall be deemed to have accrued on the date of the commencement of such
action and shall be enforceable whether or not the action is prosecuted to
judgment.
(B) Should Landlord be named as a defendant in any suit brought against
Tenant in connection with or arising out of Tenant's occupancy, Tenant shall
pay to Landlord its costs and expenses incurred in such suit, including a
reasonable attorney's fee.
33. WAIVER The waiver by either party of the other party's failure to perform
or observe any term, covenant or condition herein contained to be performed or
observed by such waiving party shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term,
covenant or condition or of any subsequent failure of the party failing to
perform or observe the same or any other such term, covenant or condition
therein contained, and no custom or practice which may develop between the
parties hereto during the term hereof shall be deemed a waiver of, or in any
way affect, the right of either party to insist upon performance and observance
by the other party in strict accordance with the terms hereof.
34. NOTICES All notices, demands, requests, advices or designations which may
be or are required to be given by either party to the other hereunder shall be
in writing. All notices, demands, requests, advices or designations by Landlord
to Tenant shall be sufficiently given, made or delivered if personally served
on Tenant by leaving the same at the Premises or if sent by United States
certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed to Tenant at the
Premises. All notices demands, requests, advices or designations by Tenant to
Landlord shall be sent by United States certified or registered mail, postage
prepaid, addressed to Landlord at its offices at Xxxxx/Xxxxxxxxx, 0000 Xxxxxxx
Xxxxxxx Xxxx., #000, Xxxxx Xxxxx, XX 00000. Each notice, request, demand,
advice or designation referred to in this paragraph shall be deemed received on
the date of the personal service or mailing thereof in the manner herein
provided, as the case may be.
35. EXAMINATION OF LEASE Submission of this instrument for examination or
signature by Tenant does not constitute a reservation of or option for a lease,
and this instrument is not effective as a lease or otherwise until its
execution and delivery by both Landlord and Tenant.
36. DEFAULT BY LANDLORD Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord
fails to perform obligations required of Landlord within a reasonable time, but
in no event earlier than thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to
Landlord and to the holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust covering the
Premises whose name and address shall have heretofore been furnished to Tenant
in writing, specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform such obligations;
provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord's obligations is such that
more than thirty (30) days are required for performance, then Landlord shall
not be in default if Landlord commences performance within such thirty (30) day
period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion.
37. CORPORATE AUTHORITY If Tenant is a corporation, (or a partnership) each
individual executing this Lease on behalf of said corporation (or partnership)
represents and warrants that he is duly authorized to execute and deliver this
Lease on behalf of said corporation (or partnership) in accordance with the
by-laws of said corporation (or partnership in accordance with the partnership
agreement) and that this Lease is binding upon said corporation (or
partnership) in accordance with its terms. If Tenant is a corporation, Tenant
shall, within thirty (30) days after execution of this Lease, deliver to
Landlord a certified copy of the resolution of the Board of Directors of said
corporation authorizing or ratifying the execution of this Lease.

44. "AS-IS" BASIS; Subject only to Landlord making the improvements shown on
Exhibit B to be attached hereto, it is hereby agreed that the Premises leased
hereunder is leased strictly on an
Page 9 Initial: [ILLEGIBLE]
------------
10
"as-is" basis and in its present condition, and in the configuration as shown
on EXHIBIT B to be attached hereto, and by reference made a part hereof. It is
specifically agreed between the parties that after Landlord makes the interior
improvements as shown on EXHIBIT B, Landlord shall not be required to make, nor
be responsible for any cost, in connection with any repair, restoration, and/or
improvement to the Premises in order for this Lease to commence, or thereafter,
throughout the Term of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
within this Lease, Landlord makes no warranty or representation of any kind or
nature whatsoever as to the condition or repair of the Premises, nor as to the
use or occupancy which may be made thereof.
45. CONSENT: Whenever the consent of one party to the other is required
hereunder, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
46. CHOICE OF LAW; SEVERABILITY. This Lease shall in all respects be governed
by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California. If any
provisions of this Lease shall be invalid, unenforceable, or ineffective for
any reason whatsoever, all other provisions hereof shall be and remain in full
force and effect.
47. AUTHORITY TO EXECUTE. The parties executing this Lease Agreement hereby
warrant and represent that they are properly authorized to execute this Lease
Agreement and bind the parties on behalf of whom they execute this Lease
Agreement and to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease
Agreement as they relate to the respective parties hereto.
48. ASSESSMENT CREDITS: The demised property herein may be subject to a
special assessment levied by the City of San Xxxx as part of an Improvement
District. As a part of said special assessment proceedings (if any), additional
bonds were or may be sold and assessments were or may be levied to provide for
construction contingencies and reserve funds. Interest shall be earned on such
funds created for contingencies and on reserve funds which will be credited for
the benefit of said assessment district. To the extent surpluses are created in
said district through unused contingency funds, interest earnings or reserve
funds, such surpluses shall be deemed the property of Landlord. Notwithstanding
that such surpluses may be credited on assessments otherwise due against the
Leased Premises, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent if, and at the
time of any such credit of surpluses, an amount equal to all such surpluses so
credited. For example: if (i) the property is subject to an annual assessment of
$1,000.00, and (ii) a surplus of $200.00 is credited towards the current year's
assessment which reduces the assessment amount shown on the property tax xxxx
from $1,000.00 to $800.00, Tenant shall, upon receipt of notice from Landlord,
pay to Landlord said $200.00 credit as Additional Rent.
49. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING (CONTINUED):
A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant agree that it
shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to refuse to consent to a proposed
assignment, sublease or other transfer ("Proposed Transfer") if the Premises or
any other portion of the Property would become subject to additional or
different Government Requirements as a direct or indirect consequence of the
Proposed Transfer and/or the Proposed Transferee's use and occupancy of the
Premises and the Property. However, Landlord may, in its sole discretion,
consent to such a Proposed Transfer where Landlord is indemnified by Tenant and
(i) Subtenant or (ii) Assignee, in form and substance satisfactory to
Landlord's counsel, by Tenant and/or the Proposed Transferee from and against
any and all costs, expenses, obligations and liability arising out of the
Proposed Transfer and/or the Proposed Transferee's use and occupancy of the
Premises and the Property.
B. Any and all sublease agreement(s) between Tenant and any and all
subtenant(s) (which agreements must be consented to by Landlord, pursuant to
the requirements of this Lease) shall contain the following language:
"If Landlord and Tenant jointly and voluntarily elect, for any reason
whatsoever, to terminate the Master Lease prior to the scheduled Master
Lease termination date, then this Sublease (if then still in effect) shall
terminate concurrently with the termination of the Master Lease. Subtenant
expressly acknowledges and agrees that (1) the voluntary termination of
the Master Lease by Landlord and Tenant and the resulting termination of
this Sublease shall not give Subtenant any right or power to make any
legal or equitable claim against
Initial: /s/ [ILLEGIBLE]

Landlord, including without limitation any claim for interference with
contract or interference with prospective economic advantage, and (2)
Subtenant hereby waives any and all rights it may have under law or at
equity against Landlord to challenge such an early termination of the
Sublease, and unconditionally releases and relieves Landlord, and its
officers, directors, employees and agents, from any and all claims,
demands, and/or causes of action whatsoever (collectively, "Claims"),
whether such matters are known or unknown, latent or apparent, suspected or
unsuspected, foreseeable or unforeseeable, which Subtenant may have arising
out of or in connection with any such early termination of this Sublease.
Subtenant knowingly and intentionally waives any and all protection which
is or may be given by Section 1542 of the California Civil Code which
provides 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 debtor.
The term of this Sublease is therefore subject to early termination.
Subtenant's initial here below evidence (a) Subtenant's consideration of
and agreement to this early termination provision, (b) Subtenant's
acknowledgement that, in determining the net benefits to be derived by
Subtenant under the terms of this Sublease, Subtenant has anticipated the
potential for early termination, and (c) Subtenant's agreement to the
general waiver and release of Claims above.

50. BANKRUPTCY AND DEFAULT: Paragraph 22 is modified to provide that with
respect to non-monetary defaults not involving Tenant's failure to pay Basic
Rent or Additional Rent, Tenant shall not be in default of any non-monetary
obligation if (i) more than thirty (30) days is required to cure such
non-monetary default, and (ii) Tenant commences cure of such default as soon as
reasonably practicable after receiving written notice of such default from
Landlord and thereafter continuously and with due diligence prosecutes such
cure to completion.

long as (i) Tenant is performing all of its other obligations under the Lease
including the obligation to pay Basic Rent and Additional Rent (ii) Tenant
provides on-site security during normal business hours for those parts of the
Premises left vacant, (iii) such vacancy does not materially and adversely
affect the validity or coverage of any policy of insurance carried by Landlord

system are operated and maintained to the extent necessary to prevent damage to
the Premises or its systems.

California or local government law (including common law), statute, regulation,

Landlord's discretion, prior to the occurrence of any Tenant's Hazardous
Materials Activities (defined below); provided, however, that Landlord's consent

Landlord with a list of said materials use), such as mild cleaners, lubricants
and copier toner. As used herein, the term "Tenant's Hazardous Materials
Activities" shall mean any and all use, handling, generation, storage, disposal,
treatment, transportation, release, discharge, or emission of any Hazardous

Environmental Laws at Tenant's expense, and shall not result in any
contamination of the Property or the environment. Tenant agrees to provide
Landlord with prompt written notice of any spill or release of Hazardous
Materials at the Property during the term of the Lease in which Tenant becomes
aware, and further agrees to provide Landlord with prompt written notice of any
violation of Environmental Laws in connection with Tenant's Hazardous Materials
Activities of which Tenant becomes aware. If Tenant's Hazardous Materials
Activities involve Hazardous Materials other than normal use of customary
household and office supplies, Tenant also agrees at Tenant's expense: (i) to
install such Hazardous Materials monitoring, storage and containment devices as
Landlord reasonably deems necessary (Landlord shall have no obligation to
evaluate the need for any such installation or to require any such
installation); (ii) provide Landlord with a written inventory of such Hazardous
Materials, including an update of same each year upon the anniversary date of
the Commencement Date of the Lease ("Anniversary Date"); and (iii) on each
Anniversary Date, to retain a qualified environmental consultant, acceptable to
Landlord, to evaluate whether Tenant is in compliance with all applicable
Environmental Laws with respect to Tenant's Hazardous Materials Activities.
Tenant, at its expense, shall submit to Landlord a report from such
environmental consultant which discusses the environmental consultant's findings
within two (2) months of each Anniversary Date. Tenant, at its expense, shall
promptly undertake and complete any and all steps necessary, and in full
compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, to fully correct any and all
problems or deficiencies identified by the environmental consultant, and

Landlord in addition to any other rights it may have under this Lease or under
Environmental Laws or other laws, may enter upon the Property and conduct
inspection, sampling and analysis, including but not limited to obtaining and
analyzing samples of soil and groundwater, for the purpose of determining the
nature and extent of such contamination. Tenant shall promptly reimburse
Landlord for the costs of such an investigation, including but not limited to
reasonable attorneys' fees Landlord incurs with respect to such investigation,

under this Lease. Notwithstanding the above, Landlord may, at its option and in
its sole and absolute discretion, choose to perform remediation and obtain
reimbursement for cleanup costs as set forth herein from Tenant. Any cleanup
costs incurred by Landlord as the result of Tenant's Hazardous Materials
Activities shall be reimbursed by Tenant within thirty (30) days of
presentation of written documentation of the expense to Tenant by Landlord.
Such reimbursement costs shall include, but not be limited to, any reasonable
consultant and attorney fees incurred by Landlord. Tenant shall take all
actions necessary to preserve any claims it has against third parties,
including, but not limited to, its insurers, for claims related to its
operation, management of Hazardous Materials or contamination of the Property.
Except as may be required of Tenant by applicable Environmental Laws, Tenant
shall not perform any sampling, testing, or drilling to identify the presence
of any Hazardous Materials at the Property, without Landlord's prior written
consent which may be withheld in Landlord's discretion. Tenant shall promptly
provide Landlord with copies of any claims, notices, work plans, data and
reports prepared, received or submitted in connection with any sampling,
testing or drilling performed pursuant to the preceding sentence.
E. Tenant shall indemnify, defend (with legal counsel acceptable to
Landlord, whose
Page 12
13
consent shall not unreasonably be withheld) and hold harmless Landlord, its
employees, assigns, successors, successors-in-interest, agents and
representatives from and against any and all claims (including but not limited
to third party claims from a private party or a government authority),
liabilities, obligations, losses, causes of action, demands, governmental
proceedings or directives, fines, penalties, expenses, costs (including but not
limited to reasonable attorneys', consultants' and other experts' fees and
costs), and damages, which arise from or relate to: (i) Tenant's Hazardous
Materials Activities; (ii) any Hazardous Materials contamination caused by
Tenant prior to the Commencement Date of the Lease; or (iii) the breach of any
obligation of Tenant under this Paragraph 52 (collectively, "Tenant's
Environmental Indemnification"). Tenant's Environmental Indemnification shall
include but is not limited to the obligation to promptly and fully reimburse
Landlord for losses in or reductions to rental income, and diminution in fair
market value of the Property. Tenant's Environmental Indemnification shall
further include but is not limited to the obligation to diligently and properly
implement to completion, at Tenant's expense, any and all environmental
investigation, removal, remediation, monitoring, reporting, closure activities,
or other environmental response action (collectively, "Response Actions").
Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with copies of any claims, notices, work
plans, data and reports prepared, received or submitted in connection with any
Response Actions.
It is agreed that the Tenant's responsibilities related to Hazardous Materials
will survive the expiration or termination of this Lease and that Landlord may
obtain specific performance of Tenant's responsibilities under this Paragraph
52.
