Letter of Credit In addition to the Security Deposit and as security hereunder, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, concurrently with Tenant’s execution of this Lease, an irrevocable stand-by letter of credit in the amount of One Hundred Sixty Six Thousand Two Hundred Twenty-Nine Dollars ($166,229.00). Said letter of credit shall be in form and with the substance of Exhibit F attached hereto, and issued by Silicon Valley Bank or by another financial institution located in Orange County and which is acceptable to Landlord. The letter of credit shall either: (i) be issued with a fixed expiration date of December 31, 2005, or (ii) shall provide for automatic annual renewals through that date which is sixty (60) days after the Expiration Date of the Term of this Lease. In the event the letter of credit is issued with an annual renewal obligation and the letter of credit is not renewed by the issuing financial institution on or before twenty (20) days prior to the then-scheduled expiration date of the letter of credit, then Landlord shall have the right to draw the full amount of such letter of credit and to hold such amount as part of the Security Deposit pursuant to Section 4.3 of this Lease. Upon any default by Tenant, including specifically Tenant’s failure to pay rent or to abide by its obligations under Sections 7.1 and 15.3 below and Tenant’s failure to cure the same within any applicable cure period, Landlord shall be entitled to draw upon said letter of credit by the issuance of Landlord’s sole written demand to the issuing financial institution. Such draw shall be in an amount necessary to cure the default in question and to compensate Landlord for all damages incurred thereby, as determined by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion, and if such amount cannot be readily determined by Landlord, then the full amount of the letter of credit can be drawn by Landlord pending determination of said amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, while the amount of any such draw shall be determined in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion as provided in the foregoing, if the amount of any such draw(s) shall ultimately exceed the amount of damages actually incurred by Landlord as the result of Tenant’s default (as determined pursuant to the applicable provisions of Article XIV of this Lease), then Landlord shall promptly refund any such excess to Tenant. Any such draw shall be without waiver or any rights Landlord may have under this Lease or at law or in equity as a result of the default, as a setoff for full or partial compensation for the default. If any portion of the letter of credit is drawn after a default by Tenant, Tenant shall within five (5) days after written demand by Landlord restore the letter of credit. Failure to so restore said letter of credit within said five (5) days shall be a default by Tenant under this Lease. Partial drawings upon said letter of credit shall be permitted. In the event that Tenant has not been in default under the Lease (beyond the expiration of any applicable cure period) at any time during the Term hereof, and provided further that Tenant has not at any time been more than five (5) days late more than once during the applicable previous twelve (12)-month period with respect to any payments of rent due under the Lease, then upon the written request of Tenant, Landlord shall authorize in writing consecutive reductions to the principal amount of the letter of credit in the amount of Thirty Three Thousand Two Hundred Forty-Six Dollars ($33,246.00) each upon the expiration of the twelfth (12th), twenty-fourth (24th), thirty-sixth (36th), and forty-eighth (48th) months of the Term.
