The Commencement Date shall be confirmed by execution of the Commencement Date Confirmation in the form as set forth in Exhibit E, which

 

2


Tenant shall execute and return to Landlord within five (5) days after receipt thereof. If Landlord delays delivering possession of the Premises, this Lease shall not be void or voidable and Landlord shall have no liability for loss or damage resulting therefrom.

ARTICLE 3

RENT

3.1 Monthly Rent. Tenant shall pay Monthly Rent in advance on or before the first day of each month of the Term without demand, setoff or deduction. If the Term shall commence on a day other than the first day of a month, Tenant shall pay Monthly Rent for period between the Commencement Date and the first day of the first calendar month of the Term prorated on a per diem basis based on the daily amount of Monthly Rent for the first full calendar month for which Monthly Rent is due. Upon the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay one installment of Monthly Rent which shall be applied to the third full calendar month of the Term.

3.2 Additional Rent. All costs and expenses which Tenant assumes or agrees to pay and any other sum payable by Tenant pursuant to this Lease, including, without limitation, its share of Taxes and Operating Expenses, shall be deemed Additional Rent.

3.3 Rent. Monthly Rent, Additional Rent, Taxes and Operating Expenses and any other amounts of every nature which Tenant is or becomes obligated to pay Landlord under this Lease are herein referred to collectively as “Rent,” and all remedies applicable to the nonpayment of Rent shall be applicable thereto. Landlord may apply payments received from Tenant to any obligations of Tenant then accrued, without regard to such obligations as may be designated by Tenant.

3.4 Place of Payment Late Charge, Default Interest. Rent and other charges required to be paid under this Lease, no matter how described, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord at the Building Manager’s address listed in Article 1, or to such other person and/or address as Landlord may designate in writing, without any prior notice or demand therefor and without deduction or set-off or counterclaim and without relief from any valuation or appraisement laws. In the event Tenant fails to pay Rent due under this Lease within ten (10) days of the due date of said Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge of ten percent (10%) on the amount overdue as and for liquidated damages which are agreed to be reasonable under the circumstances of this Lease. Any Rent not paid when due shall also bear interest at the Default Rate.

ARTICLE 4

TAXES AND OPERATING EXPENSES

4.1 Payment of Taxes and Operating Expenses. During each Lease Year, beginning with the first month of the second Lease Year, and each month thereafter during the original Lease Term or any extension thereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent due concurrently with Monthly Rent, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of Landlord’s

 

3


estimate (as determined by Landlord in its sole discretion) of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of any projected increase in the Taxes or Operating Expenses for the particular Lease Year in excess of the Tax Base or Operating Expenses Base, as the case may be (the “Estimated Escalation Increase”). A final adjustment (“Escalation Reconciliation”) shall be made by Landlord and Tenant as soon as practicable following the end of each Lease Year, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the end of each Lease Year. In computing the Estimated Escalation Increase for any particular Lease Year, Landlord shall take into account any prior increases in Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Taxes and Operating Expenses. If any Estimated Escalation Increase is less than the Estimated Escalation Increase for the immediately preceding Lease Year, the Additional Rent payments to be paid by Tenant for the new Lease Year attributable to said Estimated Escalation Increase shall be decreased accordingly. If Landlord receives a refund of Taxes due to a tax protest or other such contest for Taxes paid during any Lease Year in which Tenant paid Additional Rent because of any increase in Taxes over the Tax Base, Landlord shall refund to Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of any such refund, not to exceed the Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Additional Rent paid by Tenant because of an increase in Taxes over the Tax Base during such Lease Year. Tenant’s share of the refund shall be distributed to Tenant within 60 days of Landlord receiving the refund.

As soon as practicable following the end of each Lease Year, Landlord shall submit to Tenant a statement setting forth the Estimated Escalation Increase, if any. Beginning with a statement for the second Lease Year, each such statement shall also set forth the Escalation Reconciliation for the Lease Year just completed. To the extent that the Operating Expense Escalation is different from the Estimated Escalation Increase upon which Tenant paid Rent during the Lease Year just completed, Tenant shall pay Landlord the difference, in cash within thirty (30) days following receipt by Tenant of such statement from Landlord, or receive a credit on future Rent owing under this Lease (or cash, if there is no future Rent owing hereunder), as the case maybe. Until Tenant receives such statement, Tenant’s Rent for the new Lease Year shall continue to be paid at the rate being paid for the particular Lease Year just completed, but Tenant shall commence payment to Landlord of the monthly installment of Additional Rent on the basis of said statement beginning on the first day of the month following the month in which Tenant receives such statement. In addition, if, during any particular Lease Year, there is a change in the information upon which the then current Estimated Escalation Increase is based so that such Estimated Escalation Increase furnished to Tenant is no longer accurate, Landlord shall be permitted to revise such Estimated Escalation Increase by notifying Tenant, and there shall be such adjustments made in the Additional Rent on the first day of the month following the serving of such statement on Tenant as shall be necessary by either increasing or decreasing, as the case may be, the amount of Additional Rent then being paid by Tenant for the balance of the Lease Year (but in no event shall any such decrease result in a reduction of the rent below the Monthly Rent plus all other amounts of Additional Rent). Even though the Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of the Escalation Reconciliation for the calendar year in which this Lease terminates, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord within ten (10) days after Landlord’s delivery of the Escalation Reconciliation to Tenant, any additional amounts due as calculated pursuant to this Article 4 Landlord’s and Tenant’s responsibilities with respect to the Tax and Operating Expense adjustments described herein shall survive the expiration or early termination of this Lease. If the Building is less than ninety-five percent (95%) occupied during any particular Lease Year, Landlord may adjust those Operating Expenses which are affected by Building occupancy for the particular Lease Year, or

 

4


portion thereof, as the case may be, to reflect an occupancy of not less than ninety-five percent (95%) of all such rentable area of the Building.

4.2 Disputes Over Taxes or Operating Expenses. If Tenant disputes the amount of an adjustment or the proposed estimated increase or decrease in Taxes or Operating Expenses, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of such dispute within thirty (30) days after Landlord advises Tenant of such adjustment or proposed increase or decrease. Tenant’s failure to give such notice shall waive its right to dispute the amounts so determined. If Tenant timely objects, Tenant shall have the right to engage its own accountants (“Tenant’s Accountants”) for the purpose of verifying the accuracy of the statement in dispute, or the reasonableness of the adjustment or estimated increase or decrease. If Tenant’s Accountants determine that an error has been made, Landlord and Tenant’s Accountants shall endeavor to agree upon the matter, failing which Landlord and Tenant’s Accountants shall jointly select an independent certified public accounting firm (the “Independent Accountant”) which firm shall conclusively determine whether the adjustment or estimated increase or decrease is reasonable, and if not, what amount is reasonable. Both parties shall be bound by such determination. If Tenant’s Accountants do not participate in choosing an Independent Accountant within twenty (20) days after receipt of notice by Landlord, then Landlord’s determination of the adjustment or estimated increase or decrease shall be conclusively determined to be reasonable and Tenant shall be bound thereby. All costs incurred by Tenant in obtaining Tenant’s Accountants and the cost of the Independent Accountant shall be paid by Tenant unless Tenant’s Accountants disclose an error, acknowledged by Landlord (or found to have conclusively occurred by the Independent Accountant), of more than five percent (5%) in the computation of the total amount of Taxes or Operating Expenses as set forth in the statement submitted by Landlord with respect to the matter in dispute; in which event Landlord shall pay the reasonable costs incurred by Tenant in obtaining such audits. Tenant shall continue to timely pay Landlord the amount of the prior year’s adjustment and adjusted Additional Rent determined to be incorrect until the parties have agreed as to the appropriate adjustment or have deemed to be bound by the determination of the Independent Accountant in accordance with the preceding terms. Landlord’s delay in submitting any statement contemplated herein for any Lease Year shall not affect the provisions of this Paragraph, nor constitute a waiver of Landlord’s rights as set forth herein for said Lease Year or any subsequent Lease Years during the Lease Term or any extensions thereof.

4.3 Intentionally Omitted.

4.4 Personal Property Taxes and Additional Taxes. Tenant shall pay, prior to delinquency, all taxes assessed against or levied upon trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal property of Tenant located in the Premises. In the event any or all of Tenant’s trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and other personal property shall be assessed and taxed with property of Landlord, or if the cost or value of any leasehold improvements in the Premises exceeds the cost or value of a Building-standard buildout as determined by Landlord and, as a result, real property taxes for the Building are increased, Tenant shall pay to Landlord its share of such taxes within ten (10) days after delivery to Tenant by Landlord of a statement in writing setting forth the amount of such taxes applicable to Tenant’s property or above-standard improvements. Tenant shall assume and pay to Landlord at the time of paying Rent, any excise, sales, use, rent, occupancy, garage, parking, gross receipts or other taxes (other than net income taxes) which may be imposed on or on account of letting of the Premises or the payment of Rent

 

5


or any other sums due or payable hereunder, and which Landlord may be required to pay or collect under any law now in effect or hereafter enacted. Tenant shall pay directly to the party or entity entitled thereto all business license fees, gross receipts taxes and similar taxes and impositions which may from time to time be assessed against or levied upon Tenant, as and when the same become due and before delinquency. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any sums payable by Tenant under this Article 4 shall not be included in the computation of “Taxes”.

ARTICLE 5

TENANT’S WORK, ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS

5.1 Tenant’s Work. Tenant shall construct the improvements to the Premises (the “Tenant Improvements”) in accordance with the work letter attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Tenant Work Letter”).

5.2 Intentionally Omitted.

5.3 Alterations. Except as provided in the Tenant Work Letter, Tenant shall make no alterations or additions to the Premises (“Alterations”) without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion, and then only by contractors or mechanics approved by Landlord in writing and upon the approval by Landlord in writing of fully detailed and dimensioned plans and specifications pertaining to the Alterations in question, to be prepared and submitted by Tenant, at its sole cost and expense. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, obtain all necessary approvals and permits pertaining to any Alterations approved by Landlord, and Tenant agrees that any cabling or wiring installed by (or at the direction of) Tenant shall meet the requirements of all applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, regulations and codes. If Landlord, in approving any Alterations, specifies a commencement date therefor, Tenant shall not commence any work with respect to such Alterations prior to such date. Tenant hereby indemnifies, defends and agrees to hold Landlord free and harmless from all liens and claims of lien, and all other liability, claims and demands arising out of any work done or material supplied to the Premises by or at the request of Tenant in connection with any Alterations. If permitted Alterations are made, they shall be made at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and shall be and become the property of Landlord, except that Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant given at the time Landlord consents to such Alterations require Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, to remove all partitions, counters, railings and other Alterations installed by Tenant, and to repair any damages to the Premises caused by such removal. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove all cabling and wiring installed by (or at the direction of) Tenant during the term of this Lease, and shall repair any damages to the Premises caused by such removal at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, unless Landlord delivers written notice to Tenant (given at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the Term) requiring Tenant not to remove such cabling or wiring. In the event Landlord requires Tenant not to remove any such cabling or wiring, Tenant shall leave such cabling or wiring in working order and in a good condition, properly labeled. All costs attributable to or related to the applicable building codes of the city in which the Building is located (or any other authority having jurisdiction over the Building) arising from Tenant’s plans, specifications, improvements, alterations or otherwise shall be paid by Tenant at its sole

 

6


cost and expense. With regard to repairs, Alterations or any other work arising from or related to this Article 5, Landlord shall be entitled to receive an administrative/supervision fee (which fee shall vary depending upon whether or not Tenant orders the work directly from Landlord) sufficient to compensate Landlord for all overhead, general conditions, fees and other costs and expenses arising from Landlord’s involvement with such work. If Landlord performs any Alterations on behalf of the Tenant, any administrative or management fees paid to Landlord associated with the oversight of such work shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the direct costs of the Alterations. If Tenant performs the Alterations, any administrative or management fees paid to Landlord shall not exceed three percent (3%) of the direct costs of the Alterations.

5.4 Liens. Tenant shall give Landlord at least ten (10) days prior written notice (or such additional time as may be necessary under applicable laws) of the commencement of any Tenant’s Work, to afford Landlord the opportunity to post and record notices of nonresponsibility. Tenant will not cause or permit any mechanic’s, materialman’s or similar liens or encumbrances to be filed or exist against the Premises or the Building or Tenant’s interest in this Lease in connection with work done under this Article or in connection with any other work and Tenant agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against any such lien or claim or action thereon, together with costs of suit and reasonable attorney fees incurred by Landlord in connection with any such claim or action. Tenant shall remove any such lien or encumbrance by bond or otherwise within twenty (20) days from the date of their existence. If Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without being responsible to investigate the validity or lawfulness of the lien, pay the amount or take such other action as Landlord deems necessary to remove any such lien or encumbrance or require that Tenant deposit with Landlord in cash and lawful money of the United States, one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the amount of such claim, which sum may be retained by Landlord until such claim shall have been removed of record or until judgment shall have been rendered on such claim and such judgment shall have become final, at which time Landlord shall have the right to apply such deposit in discharge of the judgment on said claim and any costs, including attorney fees incurred by Landlord, and shall remit the balance thereof to Tenant. The amounts so paid and costs incurred by Landlord shall be deemed Additional Rent under this Lease and payable in full upon demand.

5.5 Compliance with ADA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord and Tenant agree that responsibility for compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (the “ADA”) shall be allocated as follows: (i) Landlord shall be responsible for compliance with the provisions of Title III of the ADA for all Common Areas, including exterior and interior areas of the Building not included within the Premises or the premises of other tenants and the Common Area restrooms and elevator lobbies on the third floor of the Building; (ii) Landlord shall be responsible for compliance with the provisions of Title III of the ADA for any construction, renovations, alterations and repairs made within the Premises if such construction, renovations, alterations or repairs are made by Landlord for the purpose of improving the Building generally or are done as Landlord’s Work and the plans and specifications for the Landlord’s Work were prepared by Landlord’s architect or space planner and were not provided by Tenant’s architect or space planner; (iii) Tenant shall be responsible for compliance with the provisions of Title III of the ADA for any construction, renovations, alterations and repairs made within the Premises if such construction, renovations, alterations and repairs are made by Tenant, its employees, agents or contractors, at the direction of Tenant

 

7

ARTICLE 6

USE

6.1 Use. Tenant shall use the Premises for general office purposes, and for no other purpose whatsoever, subject to and in compliance with all other provisions of this Lease, including without limitation the Building’s Rules and Regulations attached as Exhibit D hereto Tenant and its invitees shall also have the nonexclusive right, along with other tenants of the Building and others authorized by Landlord, to use the Common Areas subject to such rules and regulations as Landlord may impose from time to time in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not use the Premises for a call center or similar use with an unusually high density of occupants.

6.2 Restrictions. Tenant shall not at any time use or occupy, or suffer or permit anyone to use or occupy, the Premises or do or permit anything to be done in the Premises which: (a) causes or is liable to cause injury to persons, to the Building or its equipment, facilities or systems; (b) impairs or tends to impair the character, reputation or appearance of the Building as a first class office building; (c) impairs or tends to impair the proper and economic maintenance, operation and repair of the Building or its equipment, facilities or systems; (d) annoys or inconveniences or tends to annoy or inconvenience or interfere with the use of other tenants or occupants of the Building; or (e) would invalidate or increase the cost of any fire and extended coverage insurance policy covering the Building and/or the property located therein. Tenant shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations and requirements of any organization which sets out standards, requirements or recommendations commonly referred to by major fire insurance underwriters. Tenant shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse Landlord for any additional premium charges for any such insurance policy assessed or increased by reason of Tenant’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Article.

6.3 Compliance with Laws. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, keep and maintain the Premises, its use thereof and its business in compliance with all governmental laws, ordinances, rules and regulations now in force or which may hereafter be in force or effect. Tenant shall comply with all Laws relating to the Premises and Tenant’s use or occupancy thereof, including without limitation, Laws requiring the Premises to be closed on Sundays or any other days or hours and Laws in connection with the health, safety and building codes, and any permit or license requirements. Landlord makes no representation or warranty that the Premises are suitable for Tenant’s purposes

ARTICLE 7

SERVICES

7.1 Climate Control. Landlord shall furnish heat or air conditioning to the Premises during Normal Business Hours of the Building as set forth in Article 1, as required in Landlord’s reasonable judgment for the comfortable use and occupancy of the Premises. If Tenant requires

 

8


heat or air conditioning at any other time, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to furnish such service upon reasonable notice from Tenant, and Tenant shall pay all of Landlord’s charges therefor on demand as Additional Rent.

The performance by Landlord of its obligations under this Article is subject to Tenant’s compliance with the terms of this Lease including any connected electrical load established by Landlord Tenant shall not use the Premises or any part thereof in a manner exceeding the heating, ventilating or air-conditioning (“HVAC”) design conditions (including any occupancy or connected electrical load conditions), including the rearrangement of partitioning which may interfere with the normal operation of the HVAC equipment, or the use of computer or data processing machines or other machines or equipment in excess of that normally required for a standard office use of the Premises. If any such use requires changes in the HVAC or plumbing systems or controls servicing the Premises or portions thereof in order to provide comfortable occupancy, such changes may be made by Landlord at Tenant’s expense and Tenant agrees to promptly pay any such amount to Landlord as Additional Rent.

7.2 Elevator Service. If the Building is equipped with elevators, Landlord, during Normal Business Hours of the Building, shall furnish elevator service to Tenant to be used in common with others. At least one elevator shall remain in service during all other hours. Landlord may designate a specific elevator for use as a service elevator.

7.3 Janitorial Services. Landlord shall provide janitorial and cleaning services to the Premises that are comparable to such services provided in office buildings comparable in location and quality to the. Building Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the reasonable costs incurred by Landlord for (i) any cleaning of the Premises in excess of Landlord’s standard services for any reason, including, without limitation, cleaning required because of (A) misuse or neglect on the part of Tenant or Tenant’s agents, contractors, invitees, employees and customers, (B) the use of portions of the Premises for special purposes requiring greater or more difficult cleaning work than office areas, (C) interior glass partitions or unusual quantities of interior glass surfaces, and (D) non-Building standard materials or finishes installed by Tenant or at its request; and (ii) removal from the Premises of any refuse and rubbish of Tenant in excess of that ordinarily accumulated in general office occupancy or at times other than Landlord’s standard cleaning times.

7.4 Water and Electricity. Landlord shall make available domestic water in reasonable quantities to the common areas of the Building (and to the Premises if so designated in Exhibit B) and cause electric service sufficient for lighting the Premises and for the operation of Ordinary Office Equipment. “Ordinary Office Equipment” shall mean office equipment wired for 120 volt electric service and rated and using less than 6 amperes or 750 watts of electric current or other office equipment approved by Landlord in writing. Landlord shall have the exclusive right to make any replacement of lamps, fluorescent tubes and lamp ballasts in the Premises. Landlord may adopt a system of relamping and ballast replacement periodically on a group basis, the costs of which shall be included in Operating Expenses. Tenant’s use of electric energy or water in the Premises shall not at any time exceed the capacity of any of the risers, piping, electrical conductors and other equipment in or serving the Premises. In order to insure that such capacity is not exceeded and to avert any possible adverse effect upon the Building’s electric system, Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior written consent in each instance,

 

9


connect appliances or heavy duty equipment, other than Ordinary Office Equipment, to the Building’s electric system or make any alteration or addition to the Building’s electric system. Should Landlord grant its consent in writing, which Landlord may refuse in its sole and absolute discretion, all additional risers, piping and electrical conductors or other equipment therefor shall be provided by Landlord and the cost thereof shall be paid by Tenant within ten (10) days of Landlord’s demand therefor. As a condition to granting such consent, Landlord may require Tenant to agree to an increase in Monthly Rent to offset the expected cost to Landlord of such additional service, that is, the cost of the additional electric energy to be made available to Tenant based upon the estimated additional capacity of such additional risers, piping and electrical conductors or other equipment. If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree thereon, such cost shall be determined by an independent electrical engineer, to be selected by Landlord and paid equally by both parties

7.5 Separate Meters. If the Premises are separately metered for any utility, Tenant shall pay a utility charge to Landlord (or directly to the utility company, if possible) based upon Tenant’s actual consumption as measured by the meter to the extent such charge exceeds the amount included in the Operating Expense Base. Landlord also reserves the right to install separate meters for the Premises to register the usage of all or any one of the utilities and in such event Tenant shall pay for the cost of utility usage as metered to the Premises and which is in excess of the usage reasonably anticipated by Landlord for normal office usage of the Premises. Tenant shall immediately reimburse Landlord for the cost of installation of meters, and the maintenance and repair thereof, if Tenant’s actual usage exceeds the anticipated usage level by more than ten percent (10%). In any event, Landlord may require Tenant to reduce its consumption to the anticipated usage level. The term “utility” for purposes hereof may refer to but is not limited to electricity, gas, water, sewer, steam, fire protection system, telephone or other communication or alarm service, as well as HVAC, and all taxes or other charges thereon

7.6 Interruptions. Landlord does not represent or warrant that any of the services referred to above, or any other services which Landlord may supply, will be free from interruption and Tenant acknowledges that any one or more of such services may be suspended by reason of accident, repairs, inspections, alterations or improvements necessary to be made, or by strikes or lockouts, or by reason of operation of law, or causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord Any interruption, reduction or discontinuance of service shall not be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises, or any part thereof, nor render Landlord liable to Tenant for damages by abatement of Rent or otherwise, nor relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Landlord shall however, exercise reasonable diligence to restore any service so interrupted. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Lease, if Tenant is prevented from using all or any portion of the Premises for the conduct of business as a result of an “Abatement Event” which means any failure by Landlord to provide any utility or service required to be provided by Landlord where the means for providing such utility or service is in Landlord’s direct control (as contrasted with a utility provider’s failure to provide utilities), and the Abatement Event continues for a period of five (5) consecutive business days after Tenant gives written notice thereof to Landlord (“Eligibility Period”), then Tenant’s rent shall be reduced after the expiration of the Eligibility Period, for such time that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using such portion of the Premises in the proportion that the square footage of the portion of the Premises which Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, bears to the total square footage of the Premises.

Tenant shall make application in Tenant’s own name for all utilities not provided by Landlord and shall: (i) comply with all utility company regulations for such utilities, including requirements for the installation of meters, and (ii) obtain such utilities directly from, and pay for the same when due directly to, the applicable utility company. The term “utilities” for purposes hereof shall include but not be limited to electricity, gas, water, sewer, steam, fire protection, telephone and other communication and alarm services, as well as HVAC, and all taxes or other charges thereon. Tenant shall install and connect all equipment and lines required to supply such utilities to the extent not already available at or serving the Premises, or at Landlord’s option shall repair, alter or replace any such existing items. Tenant shall maintain, repair and replace all such items, operate the same, and keep the same in good working order and condition. Tenant shall not install any equipment or fixtures, or use the same, so as to exceed the safe and lawful capacity of any utility equipment or lines serving the same. The installation, alteration, replacement or connection of any utility equipment and lines shall be subject to the requirements for alterations of the Premises set forth in Article 5. Tenant shall ensure that all Tenant’s HVAC equipment is installed and operated at all times in a manner to prevent roof leaks, damage, or noise due to vibrations or improper installation, maintenance or operation. Except as specifically provided in this Article 7, Tenant agrees to pay for all utilities and other services utilized by Tenant and additional Building services furnished to Tenant not uniformly furnished to all tenants of the Building at the rate generally charged by Landlord to other tenants of the Building. Tenant shall not be charged a fee for its reasonable use of any Building risers for cabling or for its placement of mechanical in the Common Areas designated by Landlord for placement of mechanical equipment; provided that the plans and locations of such cabling and equipment are approved by Landlord which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

7.8 Additional Usage. If any lights, machines or equipment (including but not limited to computers) are used by Tenant in the Premises which materially affect the temperature otherwise maintained by the air conditioning system, or generate substantially more heat in the Premises than would be generated by the building standard lights and Ordinary Office Equipment, Landlord shall have the right to install any machinery and equipment which Landlord reasonably deems necessary to restore temperature balance, including but not limited to modifications to the standard air conditioning equipment, and the cost thereof, including the cost of installation and any additional cost of operation and maintenance occasioned thereby, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand by Landlord. Landlord shall not be liable under any circumstances for loss of or injury to property, however occurring, through or in connection with or incidental to failure to furnish any of the foregoing.

ARTICLE 8

INSURANCE

8.1 Required Insurance. Tenant shall, at all times during the Term of this Lease, and at its own cost and expense, maintain insurance policies, with responsible companies licensed to do business in the state where the Building is located and satisfactory to Landlord, naming Landlord, Landlord’s Building Manager, Cornerstone Real Estate Advisers, LLC, Tenant and any Mortgagee of Landlord, as their respective interests may appear, including (i) a policy of standard fire, extended coverage and special extended coverage (“all risk”) property insurance

The comprehensive general liability policy shall include contractual liability which includes the provisions of Article 9 herein.

On or before the Commencement Date, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord and its Building Manager, certificates of insurance evidencing the insurance coverage set forth above, including naming Landlord, Cornerstone Real Estate Advisers, LLC and Landlord’s Building Manager as additional insureds. The certificate holder under such certificates of insurance shall be Landlord in care of Landlord’s Building Manager at the address set forth in Article 1.7 above. Renewal certificates must be furnished to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of such insurance policies showing the above coverage to be in full force and effect.

The foregoing policy minimum limits of liability and Tenant’s procurement and maintenance thereof shall in no event limit the liability of Tenant under this Lease. All such insurance policies carried by Tenant shall be with companies having a rating of not less than A-VIII in Best’s Insurance Guide. All such policies shall be endorsed to agree that Tenant’s policy is primary and that any insurance covered by Landlord is excess and not contributing with any Tenant insurance requirement hereunder. Tenant agrees that if Tenant does not take out and maintain such insurance or furnish Landlord with renewals or binders, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) procure said insurance on Tenant’s behalf and charge Tenant the cost thereof, which amount shall be payable by Tenant upon demand with interest from the date such sums are extended. All such insurance shall provide that it cannot be canceled except upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord. Tenant shall comply with all rules and directives of any insurance board, company or agency determining rates of hazard coverage for the Premises, including but not limited to the installation of any equipment and/or the correction of any condition necessary to prevent any increase in such rates.

8.2 Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant each agree that neither Landlord nor Tenant will have any claim against the other for any loss, damage or injury which is covered by insurance carried by either party and for which recovery from such insurer is made, notwithstanding the negligence of either party in causing the loss, and each agree to have their respective insurers issuing the insurance described in this Article 8 waive any rights of subrogation that such companies may have against the other party. This release shall be valid only if the insurance policy in question permits waiver of subrogation or if the insurer agrees in writing that such waiver of subrogation will not affect coverage under said policy. Each party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such an agreement from its insurer if the policy does not expressly permit a waiver of subrogation.

8.3 Waiver of Claims. Except for claims arising from Landlord’s willful misconduct that are not covered by Tenant’s insurance required hereunder, Tenant waives all claims against

 

12


Landlord for injury or death to persons, damage to property or to any other interest of Tenant sustained by Tenant or any party claiming, through Tenant resulting from: (i) any occurrence in or upon the Premises, (ii) leaking of roofs, bursting, stoppage or leaking of water, gas, sewer or steam pipes or equipment, including sprinklers, (iii) wind, rain, snow, ice, flooding, freezing, fire, explosion, earthquake, excessive heat or cold, or other casualty, (iv) the Building, Premises, or the operating and mechanical systems or equipment of the Building, being defective, or failing, and (v) vandalism, malicious mischief, theft or other acts or omissions of any other parties including, without limitation, other tenants, contractors and invitees at the Building Tenant agrees that Tenant’s property loss risks shall be borne by its insurance, and Tenant agrees to look solely to and seek recovery only from its insurance carriers in the event of such losses. For purposes hereof, any deductible amount shall be treated as though it were recoverable under such policies.

ARTICLE 9

INDEMNIFICATION

Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and its agents, successors and assigns, including its Building Manager, from and against any and all injury, loss, costs, expenses, liabilities, claims or damage (including attorney fees and disbursements) to any person or property arising from, related to, or in connection with any use or occupancy of the Premises by or any act or omission (including, without limitation, construction and repair of the Premises arising out of Tenant’s Work or subsequent work) of Tenant, its agents, contractors, employees, customers, and invitees, which indemnity extends to any and all claims arising from any breach or default in the performance of any obligation on Tenant’s part to be performed under the terms of this Lease. This indemnification shall survive the expiration or termination of the Lease Term. Tenant hereby assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to persons in or about the Premises from any cause, and Tenant hereby waives all claims in respect thereof against Landlord, unless due to the Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any damage by or from any act or negligence of any co-tenant or other occupant of the Building, or by any owner or occupants of adjoining or contiguous property. Landlord shall not be liable for any injury or damage to persons or property resulting in whole or in part from the criminal activities or willful misconduct of others. To the extent not covered by all risk property insurance, Tenant agrees to pay for all damage to the Building, as well as all damage to persons or property of other tenants or occupants thereof, caused by the negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of Tenant or any of its agents, contractors, employees, customers and invitees. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to relieve Landlord from liability for any personal injury resulting from its gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct.

Tenant acknowledges that Landlord’s election to provide mechanical surveillance or to post security personnel in the Building is subject to Landlord’s sole discretion. Landlord shall have no liability in connection with the decision whether or not to provide such services and Tenant hereby waives all claims based thereon.

ARTICLE 10

CASUALTY DAMAGE

Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord or the Building Manager of any fire or other casualty to the Premises or to the extent it knows of damage, to the Building. In the event the Premises or any substantial part of the Building is wholly or partially damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty which is covered by Landlord’s insurance, then Landlord will proceed to restore the same to substantially the same condition existing immediately prior to such damage or destruction unless such damage or destruction is incapable of repair or restoration within one hundred eighty (180) days, in which event Landlord may, at Landlord’s option and by written notice given to Tenant within sixty (60) days of such damage or destruction, declare this Lease terminated as of the happening of such damage or destruction. If, in Landlord’s sole opinion, the net insurance proceeds recoverable by reason of the damage or destruction will not be adequate to complete the restoration of the Building, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease and all unaccrued obligations of the parties hereto by sending a notice of such termination to Tenant. To the extent after fire or other casualty that Tenant shall be deprived of the use and occupancy of the Premises or any portion thereof as a result of any such damage, destruction or the repair thereof, providing Tenant did not cause the fire or other casualty, Tenant shall be relieved of the same ratable portion of the Monthly Rent due under this Lease as the amount of damaged or useless space in the Premises bears to the rentable square footage of the Premises until such time as the Premises may be restored. Landlord shall reasonably determine the amount of damaged or useless space and the square footage of the Premises referenced in the prior sentence. If the Premises is substantially damaged by fire or other casualty within the last 12 months of the Term and it is reasonably determined by Landlord that the Premises cannot be restored within 120 days from the date the damage occurred, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease effective 60 days after the delivery of written notice of termination to Landlord.

ARTICLE 11

CONDEMNATION

In the event of a condemnation or taking of the entire Premises by a public or quasi-public authority, this Lease shall terminate as of the date title vests in the public or quasi-public authority. In the event of a taking or condemnation of fifteen percent (15%) or more (but less than the whole) of the Building and without regard to whether the Premises are part of such taking or condemnation, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease by giving notice to Tenant within sixty (60) days of Landlord receiving notice of such condemnation. In the event of a partial taking as described in this Article, or a sale, transfer or conveyance in lieu thereof, which does not result in the termination of this Lease, Rent shall be apportioned according to the ratio that the part of the Premises remaining usable by Tenant bears to the total area of the Premises. All compensation awarded for any condemnation shall be the property of Landlord, whether such damages shall be awarded as a compensation for diminution in the value of the leasehold or to

 

14


the fee of the Premises, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of Tenant’s right, title and interest in and to any and all such compensation. Providing, however that in the event this Lease is terminated, Tenant shall be entitled to make a separate claim for the taking of Tenant’s personal property (including fixtures paid for by Tenant), and for costs of moving. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any condemnation award to Tenant shall be available only to the extent such award is payable separately to Tenant and does not diminish the award available to Landlord or any Lender of Landlord and such award shall be limited to the amount of Rent actually paid by Tenant to Landlord for the period of time for which the award is given. Any additional portion of such award shall belong to Landlord. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights, imposed by law, statute, ordinance, governmental regulation or requirement of the United States, the State in which the Building is located or any local government authority or agency or any political subdivision thereof, now or hereafter in effect, it might otherwise have to petition a court to terminate the Lease.

ARTICLE 12

Landlord shall have no responsibility to make any repairs unless and until Landlord receives written notice of the need for such repair and in the case of an emergency, Landlord shall respond promptly after receipt of Notice. Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to make repairs or to perform any maintenance unless such failure shall persist for an unreasonable period of time after written notice of the need for such repairs or maintenance is received by Landlord from Tenant. Landlord shall make every reasonable effort to perform all such repairs or maintenance in such a manner (in its judgment) so as to cause minimum interference with Tenant and the Premises but Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any

 

15


interruption or loss of business pertaining to such activities. Landlord shall have the right to require that any damage caused by the willful misconduct of Tenant or any of Tenant’s agents, contractors, employees, invitees or customers, be paid for and performed by Tenant (without limiting Landlord’s other remedies herein)

Tenant shall not obstruct or permit the obstruction of light, halls, Common Areas, roofs, parapets, stairways or entrances to the Building or the Premises and will not affix, paint, erect or inscribe any sign, projection, awning, signal or advertisement of any kind to any part of the Building or the Premises, including the inside or outside of the windows or doors, without the written consent of Landlord. Landlord shall have the right to withdraw such consent at any time and to require Tenant to remove any sign, projection, awning, signal or advertisement to be affixed to the Building or the Premises. If such work is done by Tenant through any person, firm or corporation not designated by Landlord, or without the express written consent of Landlord, Landlord shall have the right to remove such signs, projections, awnings, signals or advertisements without being liable to Tenant by reason thereof and to charge the cost of such removal to Tenant as Additional Rent, payable within ten (10) days of Landlord’s demand therefor.

12.4 Outside Services.

12.5 Condition of Premises. **[Note that Landlord has the obligation to repair the mechanical systems serving the Building and that the costs of such repairs are not ordinarily included in Operating Expenses if they are capital expenditures].** Tenant hereby agrees that the Premises shall be taken “as is,” “with all faults,” “without any representations or warranties” Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that it has investigated and inspected the condition of the Premises and the suitability of same for Tenant’s purposes. Tenant acknowledges that there are no abandoned wires or cables within the Premises. Tenant does hereby waive and disclaim any objection to, cause of action based upon, or claim that its obligations hereunder should be reduced or limited because of the condition of the Premises or the Building or the suitability of same for Tenant’s purposes. Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent nor any employee of Landlord has made any representation or warranty with respect to the Premises or the Building or with respect to the suitability of either for the conduct of Tenant’s business and Tenant expressly represents and warrants that Tenant has relied solely on its own investigation and inspection of the Premises and the Building in its decision to enter into this Lease and let the Premises in an “As Is” condition. The Premises shall be initially improved as provided in, and subject to, the Tenant Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit B and made a part hereof. The taking of possession of the Premises by Tenant shall conclusively establish that the Premises and the Building were at such time in satisfactory condition. Tenant hereby waives any obligation, imposed by a law, statute, ordinance, governmental regulation or requirement of the United States, the State in which the Building is located or any local government authority or agency or

 

16


any political subdivision thereof, now or hereafter in effect, requiring Landlord to alter the Premises or the Building to conform to any specified condition and to repair any subsequent deterioration, thereof, which render it unacceptable by such governing body. If such deterioration is repaired by Tenant, Tenant may not deduct the expenses of such repairs from Rent when due and Tenant has no right to vacate the Premises and be discharged from further payment of Rent, if such repairs are not made by Landlord.

Landlord reserves the right from time to time, but subject to payment by and/or reimbursement from Tenant as otherwise provided herein: (i) to install, use, maintain, repair, replace and relocate for service to the Premises and/or other parts of the Building pipes, ducts, conduits, wires, appurtenant fixtures, and mechanical systems, wherever located in the Premises or the Building, (ii) to alter, close or relocate any facility in the Premises or the Common Areas or otherwise conduct any of the above activities for the purpose of complying with a general plan for fire/life safety for the Building or otherwise and (iii) to comply with any federal, state or local law, rule or order with respect thereto or the regulation thereof not currently in effect. Landlord shall attempt to perform any such work with the least inconvenience to Tenant as possible, but in no event shall Tenant be permitted to withhold or reduce Rent or other charges due hereunder as a result of same or otherwise make claim against Landlord for interruption or interference with Tenant’s business and/or operations.

ARTICLE 13

Tenant shall permit Landlord, the Building Manager and its authorized representatives to enter the Premises to show the Premises during Normal Business Hours of the Building and at other reasonable times, in the case of an emergency or to inspect the Premises, to clean the Premises, to serve or post notices as provided by law or which Landlord deems necessary for the protection of Landlord or Landlord’s property, and to make such repairs, improvements, alterations or additions in the Premises or in the Building of which they are a part as Landlord may deem necessary or appropriate. If Tenant shall not be personally present to open and permit an entry into the Premises at any time when such an entry is necessary or permitted hereunder, Landlord may enter by means of a master key or may enter forcibly, only in the case of an emergency, without liability to Tenant and without affecting this Lease.

ARTICLE 14

SURRENDER OF PREMISES

Any property not removed shall be deemed to have been abandoned by Tenant

 

17


and may be retained or disposed of by Landlord at Tenant’s expense free of any and all claims of Tenant, as Landlord shall desire. All property not removed from the Premises by Tenant may be handled or stored by Landlord at Tenant’s expense and Landlord shall not be liable for the value, preservation or safekeeping thereof. At Landlord’s option all or part of such property may be conclusively deemed to have been conveyed by Tenant to Landlord as if by bill of sale without payment by Landlord. Tenant hereby waives, to the maximum extent allowable, the benefit of all laws now or hereafter in force in this state or elsewhere exempting property from liability for rent or for debt.

ARTICLE 15

HOLDING OVER

Should Tenant, without Landlord’s written consent, hold over after termination of this Lease, Tenant shall become a tenant from month-to-month, only upon each and all of the terms herein provided as may be applicable to a month-to-month tenancy and any such holding over shall not constitute an extension of this Lease. Tenant shall pay Landlord, monthly and in advance, 200% of the amount of Rent then applicable, prorated on a per diem basis, for each day Tenant shall retain possession of the Premises or any part thereof after expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, together with all damages sustained by Landlord on account thereof and all other payments required to be made by Tenant hereunder. The foregoing provisions shall not serve as permission for Tenant to hold-over, nor serve to extend the Term (although Tenant shall remain bound to comply with all provisions of this Lease until Tenant vacates the Premises) and Landlord shall have the right at any time thereafter to enter and possess the Premises and remove all property and persons therefrom or to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises as provided in this Lease upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord from all costs, loss, expense or liability, including without limitation, claims made by any succeeding tenant and real estate brokers’ claims and attorney fees.

ARTICLE 16

SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT

16.1 Landlord’s Consent Required. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, list the Premises or any part thereof as available for assignment or sublease with any broker or agent or otherwise advertise, post, communicate or solicit prospective assignees or subtenants through any direct or indirect means, nor assign this Lease or any interest thereunder, or sublet Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use of Premises by any party other than Tenant. If Tenant is a corporation, unincorporated association, partnership or limited liability company, the sale, assignment, transfer or hypothecation of any class of stock or other ownership interest in such corporation, association, partnership or limited liability company in excess of fifty-one percent (51%) in the aggregate shall be deemed an assignment within the meaning of this Article 16. In the event that during the term of this Lease, Tenant desires to assign or sublease all or any portion of this Lease and introduces Landlord to a proposed replacement tenant for Tenant,

 

18


which replacement tenant has a good reputation, is of financial strength at least equal to that of Tenant (as determined by Landlord in its sole discretion) and has a use for Premises and a number of employees reasonably consistent with that of Tenant’s operation, Landlord may consider such replacement tenant and notify Tenant with reasonable promptness as to Landlord’s choice, at Landlord’s sole discretion, of the following:

16.1.1 That Landlord consents to a subleasing of the Premises or assignment of the Lease to such replacement tenant provided that Tenant shall remain fully liable for all of its obligations and liabilities under this Lease and provided further that Landlord shall be entitled to 50% of any profit obtained by Tenant from such subletting or assignment; or

16.1.2 That upon such replacement tenant’s entering into a mutually satisfactory new lease for the Premises with Landlord, then Tenant shall be released from all further obligations and liabilities under this Lease (excepting only any unpaid rentals or any unperformed covenants then past due under this Lease or any guarantee by Tenant of replacement tenant’s obligations); or

16.1.3 That Landlord declines to consent to such sublease or assignment due to insufficient or unsatisfactory documentation furnished to Landlord to establish Tenant’s reputation, financial strength and proposed use of and operations upon Premises; or

16.1.4 That Landlord elects to cancel the Lease and recapture the Premises (in the case of an assignment) or that Landlord elects to cancel the Lease as to the portion thereof that Tenant had wished to sublease. In either such event Tenant shall have the option to either withdraw its proposed assignment or sublease, or surrender possession of the Premises, or the portion thereof which is the subject of Tenant’s request on the date set forth in a notice from Landlord in accordance with the provisions of this Lease relating to the surrender of the Premises. If this Lease shall be canceled as to a portion of the Premises only, the Rent payable by Tenant hereunder shall be abated proportionately according to the ratio that the area of the portion of the Premises surrendered (as computed by Landlord) bears to the area of the Premises immediately prior to such surrender. If Landlord shall cancel this Lease, Landlord may relet the Premises, or the applicable portion of the Premises, to any other party (including, without limitation, the proposed assignee or subtenant of Tenant), without any liability to Tenant.

16.2 Conditions to Consent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Article 16.1., above, Tenant’s transfer of its interest pursuant to this Lease shall be subject to the following express conditions, which conditions are agreed by Landlord and Tenant to be reasonable:

16.2.1 That the proposed transferee shall be subject to the prior written consent of Landlord, which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed but, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it shall be reasonable for Landlord to deny such consent if:

(a) The use to be made of the Premises by the proposed transferee is (1) not generally consistent with the character and nature of all other tenancies in the Building, or (2) a use which conflicts with any so-called “exclusive” then in favor of, or for any use which is

 

19


the same as that stated in any percentage rent lease to, another tenant of the Building or any other buildings which are in the same complex as the Building, or (3) a use which would be prohibited by any other portion of this Lease (including, but not limited to, any rules and regulations then in effect);

(b) The financial responsibility of the proposed transferee is not reasonably satisfactory to Landlord or in any event not at least equal to those which were possessed by Tenant as of the date of execution of this Lease;

(c) The proposed transferee is either a governmental agency or instrumentality thereof; or

(d) Either the proposed transferee or any person or entity which directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the proposed transferee (A) occupies space in the Building at the time of the request for consent, or (B) is negotiating with Landlord or has negotiated with Landlord during the six (6) month period immediately preceding the date of the proposed transfer, to lease space in the Building.

16.2.2 Whether or not Landlord consents to any such transfer, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Landlord’s then standard processing fee and reasonable attorney fees incurred in connection with the proposed transfer up to the aggregate sum of $1,500.00;

16.2.3 That the proposed transferee shall execute an agreement pursuant to which it shall agree to perform faithfully and be bound by all of the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements of this Lease applicable to that portion of the Premises so transferred; and

16.2.4 That an executed duplicate original of said assignment and assumption agreement or other transfer on a form reasonably approved by Landlord, shall be delivered to Landlord within five (5) days after the execution thereof, and that such transfer shall not be binding upon Landlord until the delivery thereof to Landlord and the execution and delivery of Landlord’s consent thereto. It shall be a condition to Landlord’s consent to any subleasing, assignment or other transfer of part or all of Tenant’s interest in the Premises (hereinafter referred to as a “Transfer”) that (i) upon Landlord’s consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall pay and continue to pay fifty percent (50%) of any “Transfer Premium” (defined below), received by Tenant from the transferee; (ii) any sublessee of part or all of Tenant’s interest in the Premises shall agree that in the event Landlord gives such sublessee notice that Tenant is in default under this Lease, such sublessee shall thereafter make all sublease or other payments directly to Landlord, which will be received by Landlord without any liability whether to honor the sublease or otherwise (except to credit such payments against sums due under this Lease), and any sublessee shall agree to attorn to Landlord or its successors and assigns at their request should this Lease be terminated for any reason, except that in no event shall Landlord or its successors or assigns be obligated to accept such attornment; (iii) any such Transfer and consent shall be effected on forms supplied by Landlord and/or its legal counsel; (iv) Landlord may require that Tenant not then be in default hereunder in any respect; and (v) Tenant or the proposed subtenant or assignee (collectively, “Transferee”) shall agree to pay Landlord, upon demand, as additional rent, a sum equal to the additional costs, if any, incurred by Landlord for maintenance and repair

 

20


as a result of any change in the nature of occupancy caused by such subletting or assignment “Transfer Premium” shall mean all rent, additional rent or other consideration payable by a Transferee in connection with a Transfer in excess of the Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease during the term of the Transfer and if such Transfer is less than all of the Premises, the Transfer Premium shall be calculated on a rentable square foot basis. “Transfer Premium” shall also include, but not be limited to, key money, bonus money or other cash consideration paid by a transferee to Tenant in connection with such Transfer and any payment in excess of fair market value for services rendered by Tenant to the Transferee and any payment in excess of fair market value for assets, fixtures, inventory, equipment, or furniture transferred by Tenant to the Transferee in connection with such Transfer, after deducting Tenant’s “out-of-pocket” direct costs such as leasing commissions, legal fees, subtenant improvements, free rent and any subleasing processing or review fees charged by the Landlord. Subject to the foregoing, “Transfer Premium” shall not include any amounts paid for the acquisition of Tenant or for a merger with Tenant. In no event shall the consent by Landlord to an assignment or subletting be construed as relieving Tenant, any assignee, or sublessee from obtaining the express written consent of Landlord to any further assignment or subletting, or as releasing Tenant from any liability or obligation hereunder whether or not then accrued and Tenant shall continue to be fully liable therefor. No collection or acceptance of Rent by Landlord from any person other than Tenant shall be deemed a waiver of any provision of this Article 16 or the acceptance of any assignee or subtenant hereunder, or a release of Tenant (or of any successor of Tenant or any subtenant) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if Tenant or any proposed Transferee claims that Landlord has unreasonably withheld or delayed its consent under this Article 16 or otherwise has breached or acted unreasonably under this Article 16, their sole remedies shall be a declaratory judgment and an injunction for the relief sought without any monetary damages, and Tenant hereby waives all other remedies, including, without limitation, any right at law or equity to terminate this Lease, on its own behalf and, to the extent permitted under all applicable laws, on behalf of the proposed Transferee.

16.3 No Assignment of Options. In no case may Tenant assign any options to sublessee(s) or assignee(s) hereunder, all such options being deemed personal to Tenant only. Consent by Landlord hereunder shall in no way operate as a waiver by Landlord of, or to release or discharge Tenant from, any liability under this Lease or be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining Landlord’s consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting, transfer, use or occupancy.

ARTICLE 17

SUBORDINATION, ATTORNMENT AND MORTGAGEE PROTECTION

Tenant agrees, within ten (10) days after Landlord’s written request therefor, to execute, acknowledge and deliver upon request any and all documents or instruments requested by Landlord or necessary or proper to assure the subordination of this Lease to any such Mortgages, deeds of trust, or leasehold estates. If any foreclosure or power of sale proceedings are initiated by any Lender or a deed in lieu is granted (or if any ground lease is terminated), Tenant agrees, upon written request of any such Lender or any purchaser at such foreclosure sale, to attorn and pay Rent to such party and to execute and deliver any instruments necessary or appropriate to evidence or effectuate such attornment, within five (5) days of Landlord’s request therefor. In the event of attornment, no Lender shall be: (i) liable for any act or omission of Landlord, or subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against Landlord (prior to such Lender becoming Landlord under such attornment), (ii) liable for any security deposit or bound by any prepaid Rent not actually received by such Lender, or (iii) bound by any future modification of this Lease not consented to by such Lender. Any Lender may elect to make this Lease prior to the lien of its Mortgage, and if the Lender under any prior Mortgage shall require, this Lease shall be prior to any subordinate Mortgage; such elections shall be effective upon written notice to Tenant. Tenant agrees to give any Lender by certified mail, return receipt requested, a copy of any notice of default served by Tenant upon Landlord, provided that prior to such notice Tenant has been notified in writing (by way of service on Tenant of a copy of an assignment of leases, or otherwise) of the name and address of such Lender Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within the time permitted Landlord for cure under this Lease, any such Lender whose address has been so provided to Tenant shall have an additional period of thirty (30) days in which to cure (or such additional time as may be required due to causes beyond such Lender’s control, including time to obtain possession of the Building by power of sale or judicial action or deed in lieu of foreclosure). The provisions of this Article shall be self-operative; however, Tenant shall execute such documentation as Landlord or any Lender may request from time to time in order to confirm the matters set forth in this Article in recordable form To the extent not expressly prohibited by Law, Tenant waives the provisions of any Law now or hereafter adopted which may give or purport to give Tenant any right or election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease or Tenant’s obligations hereunder if such foreclosure or power of sale proceedings are initiated, prosecuted or completed.

ARTICLE 18

20.1.1 Landlord may terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant and, following termination, may enter and take possession of the Premises and remove Tenant and any other person occupying the Premises by arrangement with Tenant without being liable for prosecution or any claim or damages therefor, and may recover from Tenant the following:

(a) The worth at the time of the award of any unpaid rent that has been earned at the time of termination;

(b) The worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned following termination and until the time of the award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could reasonably have been avoided;

(c) The worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of the award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could reasonably have been avoided;

(d) Any other amounts necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s defaults under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including, without limitation, brokerage commissions, advertising expenses, remodeling expenses, and concessions to a new tenant; and

(e) At Landlord’s election, any other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing that may be permitted by law from time to time.

 

24

Any such amounts which must be based on increased costs or other historical information shall be calculated based on estimates and projections reasonably made by Landlord. As used in subparagraph 20 1.1(a) of this paragraph, the “worth at the time of the award” shall be calculated based on an interest rate equal to the highest rate permitted by applicable law or, if no maximum applies, 18% per annum As used in subparagraph 20 1.1(c) of this paragraph, the “worth at the time of the award” shall be calculated based on a discount rate equal to 1% plus the discount rate set by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award.

If the Building is located in California, Landlord may exercise its remedies under California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (as modified or recodified from time to time).

20.1.4 Whether or not Landlord terminates this Lease, Landlord shall have the right, as Landlord chooses in its absolute discretion, (i) to terminate any or all subleases, licenses, concessions and other agreements entered into by Tenant in connection with its occupancy of the Premises and/or (ii) to maintain any or all such agreements in effect and succeed to Tenant’s interests in connection therewith (in which event Tenant shall cease to have any interest in any such agreement).

TENANT HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY CLAIM, ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BY EITHER LANDLORD OR TENANT AGAINST THE OTHER OR ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS LEASE, THE RELATIONSHIP OF LANDLORD AND TENANT, AND/OR TENANT’S USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES.

20.3.2 Should Landlord, without fault on Landlord’s part, be made a party to any litigation instituted by Tenant or by any third party against Tenant, or by or against any person holding under or using the Premises by license of Tenant, or for the foreclosure of any lien for labor or material furnished to or for Tenant or any such other person or otherwise arising

20.3.3 When legal services are rendered by an attorney at law who is an employee of a party, attorney fees incurred by that party shall be deemed to include an amount based upon the number of hours spent by such employee on such matters multiplied by an appropriate billing rate determined by taking into consideration the same factors, including but not limited by, the importance of the matter, time applied, difficulty and results, as are considered when an attorney not in the employ of a party is engaged to render such service.

ARTICLE 21

QUIET ENJOYMENT

Landlord covenants and agrees with Tenant that so long as Tenant pays Rent and observes and performs all the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be observed and performed, Tenant may peaceably and quietly enjoy the Premises subject, nevertheless, to the terms and conditions of this Lease, and Tenant’s possession will not be disturbed by anyone claiming by, through, or under Landlord.

ARTICLE 22

ACCORD AND SATISFACTION

No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of an amount less than full payment of Rent then due and payable shall be deemed to be other than on account of Rent then due and payable, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such Rent or pursue any other remedy provided for in this Lease or available at law or in equity.

ARTICLE 23

LETTER OF CREDIT

23.1 Requirements. Concurrently with Tenant’s execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord as protection for the full and faithful performance by Tenant of all of the obligations under this Lease and for all damages Landlord may suffer (or that Landlord reasonably estimates it may suffer) as a result of any breach or default under this Lease, an irrevocable and unconditional, negotiable standby letter of credit (“Letter of Credit”) in the amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000 00), subject to the terms and conditions of this Article 23. The Letter of Credit shall be issued by a solvent, nationally recognized bank having its principal office within the United States of America (the “Bank”) and shall be capable of being drawn upon at a location in the City of San Francisco. The Letter of Credit shall reflect Landlord as beneficiary. The form and terms of the Letter of Credit and the issuer issuing same

 

26


shall be subject to the review and approval of Landlord, in its sole discretion. Landlord, or its managing agent, shall have the right to draw down an amount up to the face amount of the Letter of Credit upon presentation to the issuer of Landlord’s written statement that Landlord is entitled to the funds represented by such Letter of Credit if any of the following shall have occurred or are applicable: (i) such amount is due to Landlord under the terms and conditions of this Lease after any applicable notice and cure period expressly set forth in this Lease; provided that if Landlord is prevented from delivering a notice of default to Tenant for any reason, including, without limitation, because Tenant has filed a voluntary petition, or an involuntary petition has been filed against Tenant, under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any state bankruptcy code (collectively, “Bankruptcy Code”), then no such notice and cure period shall be required; (ii) Tenant has filed a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code; (iii) an involuntary petition has been filed against Tenant under the Bankruptcy Code; or (iv) the Bank has notified Landlord that it intends to revoke the Letter of Credit or the Letter of Credit will not be renewed or extended. The Letter of Credit shall provide that the issuer of the Letter of Credit shall deliver to Landlord at least thirty (30) days written notice prior to revoking, terminating or failing to renew the Letter of Credit. The issuer will honor the Letter of Credit regardless of whether Tenant disputes Landlord’s right to draw on the Letter of Credit Landlord shall be required to give Tenant written notice prior to or concurrently with, any drawing upon the Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit must permit multiple presentation or drawings and partial drawings. In the event Landlord draws on the Letter of Credit, Tenant shall within ten (10) days after the date of such draw cause the amount of the Letter or Credit to be increased to its original amount.

23.2 Draws. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord is entering into this Lease in material reliance on the ability of Landlord to draw on the Letter of Credit on the occurrence of any breach or default on the part of Tenant under this Lease after the expiration of applicable notice and cure Periods. If Tenant shall breach any provision of this Lease or otherwise be in default under this Lease, Landlord may, but without obligation to do so, and without notice to Tenant, draw on the Letter of Credit, in part or in whole, to cure any breach or default of Tenant and to compensate Landlord for any and all damages of any kind or nature sustained or which Landlord reasonably estimates that it will sustain resulting from Tenant’s breach or default. The use, application, or retention of the Letter of Credit, or any portion of it, by Landlord shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided by this Lease or by any applicable law, it being intended that Landlord shall not first be required to proceed against the Letter of Credit, and shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Landlord may otherwise be entitled. Tenant agrees not to interfere in any way with payment to Landlord of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit, either before or following a draw by Landlord of any portion of the Letter of Credit, regardless of whether any dispute exists between Tenant and Landlord as to Landlord’s right to draw on the Letter of Credit. No condition or term of this Lease shall be deemed to render the Letter of Credit conditional to justify the issuer of the Letter of Credit in failing to honor a drawing on such Letter of Credit in a timely manner. Tenant agrees and acknowledges that (1) the Letter of Credit constitutes a separate and independent contract between Landlord and the Bank; (2) Tenant is not a third party beneficiary of such contract; (3) Tenant has no property interest whatsoever in the Letter of Credit or the proceeds of it; and (4) if Tenant becomes a debtor under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, neither Tenant, any trustee, nor Tenant’s bankruptcy estate shall have any right to restrict or limit Landlord’s claim or rights to the Letter of Credit or the proceeds of it by application of Section 502(b)(6) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.

 

27


23.3 Not a Security Deposit. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that in no event or circumstance shall the Letter of Credit or any renewal of it or any proceeds of it be (i) deemed to be or treated as a “security deposit” within the meaning of California Civil Code Section 1950.7, (ii) subject to the terms of Section 1950.7, or (iii) intended to serve as a “security deposit” within the meaning of Section 1950.7. Landlord and Tenant (iv) further acknowledge and agree that the Letter of Credit is not intended to serve as a security deposit and Section 1950.7 and any and all other laws, rules, and regulations applicable to security deposits in the commercial context (“Security Deposit Laws”) shall have no applicability or relevancy to the Letter of Credit, and (v) waive any and all rights, duties, and obligations either party may now or in the future have relating to or arising from the Security Deposit Laws.

23.4 Transfers. If Landlord transfers its ownership of the Premises, or finances the Building Landlord may (i) transfer (one or more times) all or any portion of its interest in and to the Letter of Credit to another party, person or entity provided that such transfer a part of the assignment by Landlord of its rights and interests in and to this Lease, or (ii) may require that Tenant furnish to Landlord’s transferee a substitute or amended Letter of Credit, naming such transferee as the beneficiary and otherwise in compliance with this Article 23, provided such transferee reimburses Tenant for the nominal administrative fee charged by the issuer of the Letter of Credit for issuing a substitute or amended Letter of Credit in the name of the transferee. In the event of a Transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Building and the transfer (or substitution or amendment) of the Letter or Credit to Landlord’s transferee, Landlord shall be released by Tenant from all liability therefor.

ARTICLE 24

Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord’s sole election, to change said types, sizes, configuration, and locations from time to time; provided, however, such designation shall be uniformly applied and shall not unfairly favor any tenant in the Building.

Any clean up, remediation and removal work shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval (except in emergencies), and shall include, without limitation, any testing, investigation, and the preparation and implementation of any remedial action plan required by any governmental body having jurisdiction or reasonably required by Landlord. If Landlord or any Lender or governmental body arranges for any tests or studies showing that this Article has been violated, Tenant shall pay for the costs of such tests. The provisions of this Article shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Landlord may become legally liable for the costs of complying with Laws relating to Hazardous Material which are not the responsibility of Landlord or the responsibility of Tenant, including the following: (i) Hazardous Material present in the soil or ground water on the Building property of which Landlord has no knowledge as of the effective date of this Lease; (ii) a change in Laws which relate to Hazardous Material which make that Hazardous Material which is present on the property on which the Building is located as of the effective date of this Lease, whether known or unknown to Landlord, a violation of such new laws; (iii) Hazardous Material that migrates, flows, percolates, diffuses, or in any way moves onto, or under, the Building property after the effective date of this Lease; or Hazardous Material present on or under the Building property as a result of any discharge, dumping or spilling (whether accidental or otherwise) on the Building property by other tenants in the Building or their agents, employees, contractors, or invitees, or by others. Accordingly, Landlord and Tenant agree that the cost of complying with Laws relating to Hazardous Materials on the Building property for which Landlord is legally liable and which are paid or incurred by Landlord shall be an Operating Expense (and Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Pro Rata Share thereof in accordance with Article 4) unless the cost of such compliance as between Landlord and Tenant, is made the responsibility of Tenant pursuant to Article 27.2, above or is due to Landlord’s negligence. To the extent any such Operating Expense relating to Hazardous Materials is subsequently recovered or reimbursed through insurance, or recovery from responsible third parties or other action, Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate reimbursement to the extent it has paid its share of such Operating Expense to which such recovery or reimbursement relates.

27.5 Subletting or Assignment. It shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to any proposed assignment or subletting if (i) the proposed transferee’s anticipated use of the Premises involves the generation, storage, use, treatment, or disposal of Hazardous Material; (ii) the proposed transferee has been required by any prior landlord, lender, or

 

32


governmental authority to take remedial action in connection with Hazardous Material contaminating a property if the contamination resulted from such transferee’s actions or use of the property in question; or (iii) the proposed transferee is subject to an enforcement order issued by any governmental authority in connection with the use, disposal, or storage of a Hazardous Material.

A copy of the current rules and regulations is attached hereto as Exhibit D. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for violation of any such rules and regulations, or for the breach of any covenant or condition in any lease by any other tenant in the Building. A waiver by Landlord of any rule or regulation for any other tenant shall not constitute nor be deemed a waiver of that rule or regulation for Tenant.

Any notices sent by Landlord regarding or relating to eviction procedures, including without limitation three day notices, may be sent by regular mail.

30.4 Transfers. The term “Landlord” appearing herein shall mean only the owner of the Building from time to time and, upon a sale or transfer of its interest in the Building, the then landlord and transferring party shall have no further obligations or liabilities for matters accruing after the date of transfer of that interest. Tenant, upon such sale or transfer, agrees to attorn to the transferee and shall look solely to the successor owner and transferee of the Building, as the lessor under this Lease, for performance of Landlord’s obligations hereunder.

30.7 Relationship of the parties. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed by the parties hereto, or by any third party, as constituting the parties as principal and agent, partners or joint venturers, nor shall anything herein render either party (other than a guarantor) liable for the debts and obligations of any other party, it being understood and agreed that the only relationship between Landlord and Tenant is that of Landlord and Tenant.

30.8 Entire agreement; merger; severability. This Lease and any Exhibits or Addenda hereto, embody the entire agreement and understanding between the parties respecting the Lease and the Premises and supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements and understandings between the parties, all of which are merged herein.

Any provision of this Lease which shall prove to be invalid, void or illegal shall in no way affect, impact, impair or invalidate any other provision hereof and such other provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

30.9 No representation by landlord. Neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representations, warranties, or promises with respect to the Premises or the Building except as expressly set forth herein.

 

39


30.10 Limitation of liability. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, any remedy of Tenant for the collection of a judgment (or other judicial process) requiring the payment of money by Landlord in the event of any default by Landlord hereunder or any claim, cause of action or obligation, contractual, statutory or otherwise by Tenant against Landlord concerning, arising out of or relating to any matter relating to this Lease and all of the covenants and conditions or any obligations, contractual, statutory, or otherwise set forth herein, shall be limited solely and exclusively to an amount which is equal to the lesser of (i) the interest of Landlord in and to the Building, and (ii) the interest Landlord would have in the Building if the Building were encumbered by third party debt in an amount equal to eighty percent (80%) of the then current value of the Building (as such value is reasonably determined by Landlord). No other property or assets of Landlord, or any member, officer, director, shareholder, partner, trustee, agent, servant or employee of Landlord (the “Representatives”) shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedure for the satisfaction of Tenant’s remedies under or with respect to this Lease, Landlord’s obligations to Tenant, whether contractual, statutory or otherwise, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant hereunder, or Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Building. Tenant further understands that any liability, duty or obligation of Landlord to Tenant, shall automatically cease and terminate as of the date that Landlord or any of Landlord’s Representatives no longer have any right, title or interest in or to the Building. The provisions hereof shall inure to Landlord’s successors and assigns including any Lender. The foregoing provisions are not intended to relieve Landlord from the performance of any of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease, but only to limit the personal liability of Landlord in case of recovery of a judgment against Landlord; nor shall the foregoing be deemed to limit Tenant’s rights to obtain injunctive relief or specific performance or other remedy which may be accorded Tenant by law or under this Lease. If Tenant claims or asserts that Landlord has violated or failed to perform a covenant under the Lease, Tenant’s sole remedy shall be an action for specific performance, declaratory judgment or injunction and in no event shall Tenant be entitled to any money damages in any action or by way of set off, defense or counterclaim and Tenant hereby specifically waives the right to any money damages or other remedies for any such violation or failure.

30.11 Memorandum of lease. Neither party, without the written consent of the other, will execute or record any this Lease or any summary or memorandum of this Lease in any public recorders office.

30.12 No waivers. Failure of Landlord to insist upon strict compliance by Tenant of any condition or provision of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver by Landlord of that condition. No waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other provision hereof or of any subsequent breach by Tenant of the same or any other provision. No provision of this Lease may be waived by Landlord, except by an instrument in writing executed by Landlord. Landlord’s consent to or approval of any act by Tenant requiring Landlord’s consent or approval shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Landlord’s consent to or approval of any subsequent act of Tenant, whether or not similar to the act so consented to or approved. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord’s agents during the Term of this Lease shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept such surrender shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Landlord. Any payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of an amount less than the total amount then due hereunder shall be deemed to be in partial payment only thereof and not a waiver of the balance

 

40


due or an accord and satisfaction, notwithstanding any statement or endorsement to the contrary on any check or any other instrument delivered concurrently therewith or in reference thereto. Accordingly, Landlord may accept any such amount and negotiate any such check without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover all balances due and owing and to pursue its other rights against Tenant under this Lease, regardless of whether Landlord makes any notation on such instrument of payment or otherwise notifies Tenant that such acceptance or negotiation is without prejudice to Landlord’s rights.

30.14 Governing law. This Lease shall be governed by the law of the State where the Building is located. No conflicts of law rules of any state or country (including, without limitation, the conflicts of law rules of the State in which the Building is located) shall be applied to result in the application of any substantive or procedural laws of any state or country other than the State in which the Building is located. All controversies, claims, actions or causes of action arising between the parties hereto and/or their respective successors and assigns, shall be brought, heard and adjudicated by the courts of the State of California, with venue in the County of San Francisco. Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to personal jurisdiction by the courts of the State of California in connection with any such controversy, claim, action or cause of action, and each of the parties hereto consents to service of process by any means authorized by the law of the State in which the Building is located and consent to the enforcement of any judgment so obtained in the courts of the State in which the Building is located on the same terms and conditions as if such controversy, claim, action or cause of action had been originally heard and adjudicated to a final judgment in such courts. Each of the parties hereto further acknowledges that the laws and courts of the State in which the Building is located were freely and voluntarily chosen to govern this Lease and to adjudicate any claims or disputes hereunder.

30.15 Exhibits. All exhibits attached to this Lease are a part hereof and are incorporated herein by reference and all provisions of such exhibits shall constitute agreements, promises and covenants of this Lease.

30.21 NO OPTION. THE SUBMISSION OF THIS LEASE BY LANDLORD, ITS AGENT OR REPRESENTATIVE FOR EXAMINATION OR EXECUTION BY TENANT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OPTION OR OFFER TO LEASE THE PREMISES UPON THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONTAINED HEREIN OR A RESERVATION OF THE PREMISES IN FAVOR OF TENANT, IT BEING INTENDED HEREBY THAT THIS LEASE SHALL ONLY BECOME EFFECTIVE UPON THE EXECUTION HEREOF BY LANDLORD AND DELIVERY OF A FULLY EXECUTED LEASE TO TENANT.

30.22 Use of building name; improvements. Tenant shall not be allowed to use the name, picture or representation of the Building, or words to that effect, in connection with any business carried on in the Premises or otherwise (except as Tenant’s address) without the prior written consent of Landlord. In the event that Landlord undertakes any additional improvements on the property on which the Building is located including, but not limited to, new construction or renovation or additions to the existing improvements, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any noise, dust, vibration or interference with access to the Premises or disruption in Tenant’s business caused thereby.

30.23 Right of landlord to perform. All covenants and agreements to be performed by Tenant under any of the terms of this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and without any abatement of Rent. If Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money, other than Rent, required to be paid by it hereunder or shall fail to perform any other act on its part to be performed hereunder, and such failure shall continue beyond any applicable cure period set forth in this Lease, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligations of Tenant, make any such payment or perform any such other act on Tenant’s part to be made or performed as is in this Lease provided.

ARTICLE 31

RIGHT OF FIRST NEGOTIATION

Provided Tenant is not then in default hereunder, Landlord hereby grants Tenant a one-time right (“First Right”) to lease any space on the second floor of the Building that is “available” for leasing (“First Right Space”) in accordance with and subject to the provisions of this Article.

31.1 Notice of Availability. At any time between the date of this Lease and the end of the third full year of the Term, prior to leasing any available First Right Space, or any portion thereof, to any other party during the period that this First Right is in effect, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of the basic economic terms including but not limited to the base rent, term, operating and tax expense base, security deposit, and tenant improvement allowance (collectively, the “Economic Terms”), upon which Landlord is willing to lease the First Right Space to Tenant or to a third party. If Landlord intends to lease other space in addition to the

 

44


First Right Space as part of a single transaction, then Landlord’s notice shall so provide and all such space shall collectively be subject to the following provisions. Within 5 business days after receipt of Landlord’s notice, Tenant must give Landlord written notice pursuant to which Tenant shall elect to (i) lease all, but not less than all, of the space specified in Landlord’s notice (the “Designated Space”) upon the Economic Terms and the same non-Economic Terms as set forth in this Lease, or (ii) refuse to lease the Designated Space. If Tenant does not respond in writing to Landlord’s notice within the 5 business day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have elected clause (ii) above. If Tenant timely elects to lease the Designated Space, then Landlord shall promptly prepare and deliver to Tenant an amendment to this Lease consistent with the foregoing, and Tenant shall execute and return the amendment to Landlord within 10 days Tenant’s failure to timely return the amendment shall entitle Landlord to lease the Designated Space to a third party on any terms acceptable to Landlord without regard to the Economic Terms or to specifically enforce Tenant’s commitment to lease the Designated Space or pursue any other available legal remedy. If Tenant (x) fails to timely elect to lease the Designated Space, or (y) having elected to lease the Designated Space, fails to timely return to Landlord the amendment to this Lease, the First Right shall terminate and shall thereafter have no further force or effect and Landlord may lease all or any part of the First Right Space to a third party on any terms determined by Landlord in its sole discretion including without limitation economic terms that are more favorable to a third party than the Economic Terms proposed by Landlord to Tenant.

31.2 Superior Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 31: (i) Tenant’s First Right shall be subject to any extension or expansion rights previously granted by Landlord to any third party tenant in the Building, (ii) in no event shall any such First Right Space be deemed available for leasing unless the then-existing tenant thereof shall vacate that First Right Space (collectively, the “Superior Rights”), and (iii) the First Right Space shall not be deemed to be available while any Superior Rights are in effect.

31.3 First Right Personal to Tenant. Tenant’s rights under this Article 31 shall be personal to the original Tenant named in this Lease and may not be assigned or transferred, except in connection with an assignment of this Lease expressly permitted in this Lease without the consent of Landlord. Any other attempted assignment or transfer shall be void and of no force or effect.

TENANT WORK LETTER

This Tenant Work Letter shall set forth the terms and conditions relating to the construction of the Tenant Improvements (as hereinafter defined) in the Premises. This Tenant Work Letter is essentially organized chronologically and addresses the issues of the renovation of the Premises, in sequence, as such issues will arise.

SECTION 1

LANDLORD’S INITIAL CONSTRUCTION IN THE PREMISES

Landlord has constructed the base, shell and core (i) of the Premises, and (ii) of the floor of the Building on which the Premises is located (collectively, the “Base, Shell and Core”). Tenant has inspected and hereby approves the condition of the Base, Shell and Core, and agrees that the Base, Shell and Core shall be delivered to Tenant in its current “AS-IS” condition. The Tenant Improvements to be installed in the Premises shall be designed and constructed pursuant to this Tenant Work Letter.

SECTION 2

IMPROVEMENTS

2.1 Tenant Obligations to Complete the Tenant Improvements. Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.1, Tenant shall be responsible for completing the design, permitting and construction of the Tenant Improvements as defined below. Tenant shall be entitled to a one-time improvement allowance (the “Construction Allowance”) in the amount of up to Five Hundred Eighty Thousand Seven Hundred Twenty Dollars ($580,720.00) ($35 per square foot for the 16,592 rentable square feet that the parties agree comprise the Premises) for the costs relating to the initial design and construction of Tenant’s improvements which are permanently affixed to the Premises (the “Tenant Improvements”) and for the other purposes set forth in this Tenant Work Letter and the Lease. In no event shall Landlord be obligated to make disbursements pursuant to this Tenant Work Letter in a total amount which exceeds the Construction Allowance and in no event shall Tenant be entitled to any credit for any unused portion of the Construction Allowance not used by Tenant by the October 31, 2007. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the cost of the Construction Allowance Items (as defined below) is more than Four Hundred Fourteen Thousand Eight Hundred Dollars $414,800.00 ($25 per square foot for the 16,592 rentable square feet that the parties agree comprise the Premises) but less than $580,720.00 (such difference being referred to as the “Amortized Amount”), Tenant

 

B-1


may either pay the Amortized Amount to Landlord within 5 days after the Cost Proposal Delivery Date (which Landlord shall then disburse for the Construction Allowance Items as provided in this Work Letter) or may pay Landlord the Amortized Amount as Additional Rent to Landlord at the time Monthly Rent is due pursuant to the Lease in a monthly amount that fully amortizes the Amortized Amount in equal monthly installments over the Term, plus an interest rate often percent (10%) per annum on the unamortized balance of the Amortized Amount. Tenant may further elect at any time prepay to Landlord in full any then outstanding balance of the Amortized Amount. Any cost of the Construction Allowance Items in excess of the Construction Allowance shall be referred to herein as the “Over Allowance Amount” and shall be the responsibility of Tenant.

2.2 Disbursement of the Construction Allowance. The Construction Allowance shall be disbursed by Landlord pursuant to Landlord’s standard disbursement process in installments which shall occur no more than once in any 30-day period for costs related to the construction of the Tenant Improvements (including any Steel Case branded product that is permanently affixed to the improvements in the Premises, such as walls, kitchen cabinets and millwork) and for the following items and costs (collectively, the “Construction Allowance Items”): (i) payment of the fees of the “Architect” and the “Engineers,” as those terms are defined in Section 3.1 of this Tenant Work Letter, and payment of the fees incurred by, and the cost of documents and materials supplied by, Landlord and Landlord’s consultants in connection with the preparation and review of the “Construction Drawings,” as that term is defined in Section 3.1 of this Tenant Work Letter; (ii) the cost of permits and any changes in the Base, Shell and Core of the Building, required by the Construction Drawings; (iii) the cost of any changes to the Construction Drawings or Tenant Improvements required by applicable building codes (the “Code”); and (iv) a Landlord supervision fee of two and one half percent (2 1/2%) of the total of the costs related to the construction of the Tenant Improvements plus the costs of the preceding items (i) through (iii).

2.3 Standard Improvement Package. Landlord has established specifications (the “Specifications”) for the Building standard components to be used in the construction of the Tenant Improvements in the Premises (collectively, the “Standard Improvement Package”), which Specifications are available upon request. The quality of Tenant Improvements shall be equal to or of greater quality than the quality of the Specifications, provided that Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, require the Tenant Improvements to comply with certain Specifications.

SECTION 3

CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS

3.1 Selection of Architect/Construction Drawings. Tenant shall retain Pollack Architects (the “Architect”) to prepare the “Construction Drawings,” as that term is defined in this Section 3.1. Landlord shall also retain engineering consultants designated by Landlord (the “Engineers”) to prepare all plans and engineering working drawings relating to the structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC and life safety work of the Tenant Improvements. The plans and drawings to be prepared by Architect and the Engineers hereunder shall be known collectively as the “Construction Drawings.” All Construction Drawings shall

 

B-2


comply with the drawing format and specifications as reasonably determined by Landlord, and shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval. Tenant and Architect shall verify, in the field, the dimensions and conditions as shown on the relevant portions of the base building plans, and Tenant and Architect shall be solely responsible for the same, and Landlord shall have no responsibility in connection therewith. Landlord’s review of the Construction Drawings as set forth in this Section 3, shall be for its sole purpose and shall not imply Landlord’s review of the same, or obligate Landlord to review the same, for quality, design, Code compliance or other like matters. Accordingly, notwithstanding that any Construction Drawings are reviewed by Landlord or its space planner, architect, engineers and consultants, and notwithstanding any advice or assistance which may be rendered to Tenant by Landlord or Landlord’s space planner, architect, engineers, and consultants, Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever in connection therewith and shall not be responsible for any omissions or errors contained in the Construction Drawings.

3.2 Final Space Plan. Plan Architect has prepared and Landlord and Tenant have reviewed and approved the final space plan and certain specifications for the Tenant Improvements in the Premises attached to this Tenant Landlord Work Letter as Attachment 1 (collectively, the “Final Space Plan”).

3.3 Working Drawings. The Architect and the Engineers shall complete the architectural and engineering drawings for the Premises in conformity with the Final Space Plan in a form which is complete to allow subcontractors to bid on the work and to obtain all applicable permits (collectively, the “Working Drawings”) and shall submit the same to Landlord for its approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Landlord shall respond with its approval or disapproval of the Working Drawings within 5 business days of receipt thereof. In the event that Landlord fails to disapprove the Working Drawings within such 5 business day period, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved the Working Drawings Within 3 days after Landlord approval or deemed approval of the Working Drawings, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a set of the Working Drawings signed by Tenant.

3.4 Permits. The Working Drawings approved by Landlord shall be known as the “Approved Working Drawings” Tenant shall cause the Architect to immediately submit the Approved Working Drawings to the appropriate municipal authorities for all applicable building permits necessary to allow “Contractor,” as that term is defined in Section 4.1, below, to commence and fully complete the construction of the Tenant Improvements (the “Permits”) No changes, modifications or alterations in the Approved Working Drawings may be made without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

3.5 Time Deadlines. Landlord and Tenant shall each use their best, good faith efforts and all due diligence to cooperate with each other, the Architect and the Engineers to complete the permitting process and to receive the permits, and, if applicable, with the Contractor for approval of the “Cost Proposal,” as that term is defined in Section 4.2 of this Tenant Landlord Work Letter, as soon as possible after the execution of the Lease, and, in that regard, shall meet on a scheduled basis to be approved by Landlord to discuss the progress of the permitting process and the preparation of the Cost Proposal and the construction of the Tenant Improvements.

Landlord’s approval of the Cost Proposal shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned.

If Landlord fails to issue a written approval or disapproval of the Cost Proposal within 5 business days after Tenant’s delivery of the Cost Proposal to Landlord, then Landlord shall be deemed to have approved the Cost Proposal. Upon receipt of the Cost Proposal approved (or deemed approved) by Landlord, Tenant shall purchase the items set forth in the Cost Proposal and shall commence the construction relating to such items. The date by which Landlord approves and delivers the approved Cost Proposal to Tenant shall be known hereafter as the “Cost Proposal Delivery Date.

(i) Over-Allowance Amount. On the Cost Proposal Delivery Date, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an amount (the “Over-Allowance Amount”) equal to the difference between (i) the amount of the Cost Proposal and (ii) the amount of the Construction Allowance (less any portion thereof already disbursed or incurred by Landlord, or in the process of being disbursed by Landlord, on or before the Cost Proposal Delivery Date). The Over-Allowance Amount shall be disbursed by Landlord prior to the disbursement of any then remaining portion of the Construction Allowance, and such disbursement shall be pursuant to the same procedure as the Construction Allowance.
