Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, but subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 14.1 and 37 below, Landlord hereby reserves to itself and its designees all rights of access, use and occupancy of the Building roof (for purposes of repair, maintenance, replacement, or inspection only), and Tenant shall have no right of access, use or occupancy of the Building roof except (if at all) to the extent required in order to enable Tenant to perform Tenant’s maintenance and repair obligations pursuant to this Lease. This Lease will continue in force during a period beginning on the Commencement Date and continuing until the Expiration Date, unless this Lease is terminated on an earlier date or extended to a later date under any other term or provision of this Lease.

2.2 Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Tenant, on or before the Delivery Deadline, possession of the Premises in Turnover Condition (as defined in Paragraph 7.2) for purposes of allowing Tenant to perform the Tenant Work pursuant to the Work Letter and to install its furniture, fixtures, and equipment. If Landlord has not so delivered to Tenant possession of the Premises in Turnover Condition by the Delivery Deadline (without extension for force majeure pursuant to Paragraph 12), then the component of the “Commencement Date” set forth in clause (a) of Item #11 of the Schedule on page 1 of this Lease will be extended by one day for each day in the period beginning on the first day after the Delivery Deadline through the date on which Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant in Turnover Condition. For purposes hereof, the “Delivery Deadline” means 11:59 p.m. on the 3rd business day after the date on which this Lease is mutually executed and delivered (without extension for force majeure pursuant to Paragraph 12). Landlord and Tenant agree, upon demand by the other, to execute and deliver a Commencement Date Agreement in the form of Exhibit B attached. If Landlord makes such demand upon Tenant but Tenant fails to respond within 15 days, then Tenant will irrevocably be deemed to have agreed with Landlord as to the information set forth in the Commencement Date Agreement so delivered by Landlord to Tenant. Pursuant to Paragraph 7.2, Landlord may continue to perform Landlord’s Work after delivering possession of the Premises to Tenant.

 

3. USE.

3.1 Tenant will use and occupy the Premises only for the following use and for no other use or purpose: general office use, research and development, engineering, warehousing, light assembly, and administrative support, and uses ancillary to the foregoing to the extent befitting of building comparable to the Building, in all cases in compliance with all Regulations.

3.2 As an appurtenant right to Tenant’s right to the use and occupancy of the Premises, Tenant shall have the right to use the Outside Areas in conjunction with its use of the Premises solely for the purposes for which they were designated and intended and for no other purposes whatsoever. Tenant’s right to so use the Outside Areas shall be subject to the limitations on such use as set forth in this Lease and shall terminate concurrently with any termination of this Lease.

3.3 Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 3.1, Tenant agrees not to use or permit the use of the Premises for any purpose which would increase the cost of insurance coverage with respect to the Project unless Tenant pays such increase, or which is illegal, or which, in Landlord’s sole opinion, creates a nuisance. Tenant will not do or permit any Tenant Party (as defined in Paragraph 9.3) to do anything in or about the Premises or the Property which does or could reasonably be expected to (i) jeopardize the structural integrity of the Building or (ii) cause damage (beyond reasonable wear and tear) to any part of the Premises or Property.

 

3


Tenant will not operate any equipment within the Premises which does, would, or could reasonably be expected to, (A) injure, vibrate or shake the Premises or the Building, (B) damage, overload or impair the efficient operation of any electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilating or air conditioning systems within or serving the Premises or Building, or (C) damage or impair the efficient operation of the sprinkler system (if any) within or serving the Premises or Building, in each case (A), (B) and (C), reasonable wear and tear excepted. Tenant shall not install any equipment or antenna on or make any penetrations of the exterior walls or roof of the Building, except as otherwise permitted by Paragraphs 10 or 37. Tenant shall not affix any equipment to or make any penetrations or cuts in the floor, ceiling, walls or roof of the Premises, except as otherwise permitted by Paragraphs 10 or 37. Tenant will not place any loads upon the floors, walls, ceiling or roof systems which could endanger the structural integrity of the Building or damage its floors, foundations or supporting structural components. Tenant will not place any explosive, flammable or harmful fluids or other waste materials in the drainage systems of the Premises, Building or Outside Areas. Tenant will not drain or discharge any fluids in the landscaped areas or across the paved areas of the Property. Tenant will not use any of the Outside Areas for the storage of its materials, supplies, inventory or equipment and all such materials, supplies, inventory or equipment will at all times be stored within the Premises.

3.4 All noise generated by Tenant in its use of the Premises must be confined or muffled so that it does not interfere with the business of or unreasonably annoy the occupants or users of adjacent properties. All dust, fumes, odor and other emissions generated by Tenant’s use of the Premises must be sufficiently dissipated in accordance with sound environmental practice and exhausted from the Premises in such a manner so as not to interfere with the businesses of or annoy the occupants or users of adjacent properties, or cause any damage to the Premises or Property or any component thereof or the property of adjacent property owners.

 

4. BASE RENTAL.

Tenant will pay to Landlord during the Lease Term without any setoff or deduction whatsoever, the Base Rental and all such other money that becomes due hereunder as additional rent, all of which are sometimes herein collectively called “rent”. The annual Base Rental then in effect for each calendar year or portion thereof will be due and payable in 12 equal installments on the first day of each calendar month during the Lease Term. Tenant agrees to pay all such sums in advance, and without demand, but Tenant will not pay any monthly installments of rent more than one month in advance of the date due. Tenant will pay all rent due to Landlord at Landlord’s address in accordance with Paragraph 33.14. If the Lease Term commences on a day other than the first day of a month, or terminates on a day other than the last day of a month, then the installments of Base Rental and any other rent due for such month or months will be prorated, based on the number of days in such month.

based upon the receipt of rent, including gross receipts and sales taxes applicable to the receipt of rent, personal property taxes imposed upon the fixtures, machinery, equipment, apparatus, systems and equipment, appurtenances, furniture and other personal property used in connection with the ownership, leasing and operation of the Property or Landlord’s interest therein. “Taxes” will include, without limitation,

(i) Any tax on Landlord’s rent, right to rent, or other income from the Property;

(ii) Any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge in addition to, or in substitution, partially or totally, of any assessment, tax fee, levy or charge previously included within the definition or real property tax, it being acknowledged by Tenant and Landlord that Proposition 13 was adopted by the voters of the State of California in the June 1978 election (“Proposition 13”) and that assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges may be imposed by governmental agencies for such services as fire protection, street, sidewalk and road maintenance, refuse removal and for other governmental services formerly provided without charge to property owners or occupants. It is the intention of Tenant and Landlord that all such new and increased assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges and all similar assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges be included within the definition of Taxes for purposes of this Lease;

(iii) Any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge allocable to or measured by the area of the Premises or the rent payable hereunder, including, without limitation, any gross income tax upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operating, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises, or any portion thereof;

(iv) Any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge, upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party, creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises;

(v) Any increases in taxes or reassessments of the Property whether the increases or reassessments result from increased rate or valuation or both (whether upon a transfer of the Building, Property or Project or any portion thereof or any interest therein or for any other reason); and

(vi) Any reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in attempting to protest, reduce or minimize Taxes.

If any taxes or assessments apply to the Property as well as to the Related Buildings, “Taxes” will include the Property’s allocable share (as reasonably determined by Landlord) of such taxes and assessments on the Project. The amount of Taxes attributable to a calendar year will be the amount payable during such year, even though the assessment for such Taxes may be for a different year. If at any time during the Lease Term the present method of taxation is changed so that in lieu of or in addition to the whole or any part of any taxes, assessments or governmental charges levied, assessed or imposed on real estate and the improvements thereon, there is levied, assessed or imposed on Landlord a capital levy or other tax directly on the rents received therefrom or a franchise tax, assessment, levy or charge measured by or based, in whole or in part, upon such rents for the present or any future building on the Project, then all such taxes, assessments, levies or charges, or the part thereof so measured or based, will be deemed to be included within the term “Taxes” for purposes of calculating Operating Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph, “Taxes” will exclude all excess profits taxes, franchise taxes, gift taxes, capital stock taxes, inheritance and succession taxes, estate taxes, documentary transfer, federal and state net income taxes, and other taxes to the extent applicable to Landlord’s net income (as opposed to rents, receipts or income attributable to operations at the Project), and tax increases resulting from the improvement of any of the Project for the sole use of other occupants. Notwithstanding the year for which any such taxes or assessments are levied, in the case of taxes or assessments which may be paid in installments over more than one year, only the amount of the installment, plus any interest payable thereon, which would be due and payable during a calendar year if such tax or assessments were paid in installments (regardless of the manner in which it is actually paid) shall be included in Taxes for that year.

(g) “Property’s Allocable Share” means the percentage obtained by dividing the rentable square footage of the Premises at the time of calculation by the rentable square footage of all buildings located on the Project at the time of calculation. Such percentage is currently 18.9550% (79,143 rsf in the Building ÷ 417,532 rsf in the Project). In the event that any portion of the Project is sold by Landlord, or the rentable square footage of the Premises or the Project is otherwise changed, the Property’s Allocable Share shall be recalculated to equal the percentage described in the first sentence of this subparagraph, so that the aggregate of the Property’s Allocable Share plus the allocable share of the costs and expenses of operating, maintaining, insuring, managing and owning the Project for all other buildings in the Project shall equal 100%. In the event that certain costs and expenses of operating, maintaining, insuring, managing and owning the Project appertain to some buildings in the Project but not others, the Property’s Allocable Share as to such costs and expenses will be adjusted equitably. Similarly, if certain costs and expenses of operating, maintaining, insuring, managing and owning the Project appertain to some buildings in the Project but not to the Property, the Property’s Allocable Share as to such costs and expenses will be 0%.

5.2 Tenant will, during the Lease Term, pay in addition to Base Rental hereunder, an amount equal to Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses for any calendar year. Landlord may estimate the Operating Expenses from time to time each year. Such estimates may be revised by Landlord whenever it obtains information relevant to making such estimates more accurate. Such estimates will generally (but need not) be issued prior to the beginning of each calendar year and revised upon the determination of the final real estate tax assessment or final real estate tax rate for the Project. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of any such estimate, Tenant shall pay Landlord one-twelfth (1/12th) of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of such estimated Operating Expenses, for each month in such year to the date of such payment minus payments of estimated Operating Expenses previously paid for said period. Thereafter on the first day of each subsequent month during such year, Tenant shall pay monthly one-twelfth (1/12th) of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of such estimated Operating Expenses until if and when Landlord delivers a new estimate of Operating Expenses to Tenant.

5.3 For each calendar year, Landlord will furnish Tenant with an Expense Statement showing in reasonable detail the Operating Expenses incurred by Landlord for the prior calendar year. Landlord will use reasonable efforts to deliver the annual Expense Statement within 120 days after the end of the applicable calendar year. Delays by Landlord in submitting such Expense Statements or mistakes by Landlord in such statements will not prejudice Landlord’s right to collect any rent due under this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant shall not be required to pay any Operating Expenses otherwise due hereunder if Landlord first notifies Tenant of such Operating Expenses in a statement first delivered to Tenant more than eighteen (18) months after such Operating Expenses are incurred by and invoiced to Landlord.

5.4 If Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses for a prior calendar year as shown on the Expense Statement is greater than the estimated payments made by Tenant for that year, then within 30 days following receipt by Tenant of the Expense Statement, Tenant will pay in full an amount equal to such excess. If Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses is less than the estimated payments made by Tenant for that year, then the amount of such overpayment will be credited against the next Base Rental and Operating Expense payments falling due, except that if this Lease expires before such credit is fully applied, Landlord will refund the unapplied balance to Tenant in cash. The obligations of Landlord and Tenant under this Paragraph will survive expiration or termination of this Lease.

5.5 If this Lease commences after the first day of a calendar year or terminates before the last day of a calendar year, payment will be based on the percentage of the year in which Tenant leased the Premises.

5.6 Tenant shall have the right, exercised by written notice received by Landlord within 90 days after Tenant’s receipt of the annual Expense Statement, to audit or cause to be audited, by an auditor selected by Tenant and reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, a copy of Landlord’s books and records in respect of Operating Expenses for the fiscal year or portion thereof falling within the Lease Term. Tenant may not exercise such right more than once in any calendar year. Such auditor must be an independent nationally or regionally recognized full service public accounting firm that is not being compensated on a contingency fee basis for the audit. The audit must be performed during normal business hours in the management office of the Building, and must be completed within 180 days after Tenant’s receipt of such annual Expense Statement. The cost of such audit will be borne solely by Tenant. Unless Tenant notifies Landlord within the period allowed as set forth above in this Paragraph 5.6 that Tenant takes written exception thereto and elects to audit the

 

8


same, such statement will be considered as final and accepted by Tenant. As a condition precedent to Tenant’s right to dispute the Operating Expenses billed by Landlord pursuant to this Paragraph 5, Tenant must pay the total amount billed by Landlord hereunder within the time stipulated in this Lease. Landlord will refund the amount, if any, due Tenant upon completion of the audit and agreement between Landlord and Tenant on the amount due. In connection with any such audit, the following confidentiality provisions will apply:

(a) All of the information obtained through Tenant’s audit with respect to financial matters (including, without limitation, costs, expenses, income) and any other matters pertaining to the Landlord or the Project as well as any compromise, settlement, or adjustment reached between Landlord and Tenant relative to the results of the audit will be held in strict confidence by the Tenant and its officers, agents, and employees. As a condition precedent to Tenant’s exercise of its right to audit, Tenant must deliver to Landlord a signed confidentiality covenant from the auditor in the form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and Tenant.

(b) Tenant understands and agrees that this provision is of material importance to the Landlord and that any violation of the terms of this provision will result in immediate and irreparable harm to the Landlord. Landlord will have all rights allowed by law or equity if Tenant, its officers, agents, or employees or the auditor violate the confidentiality provisions of this Paragraph, including, without limitation, the right to terminate Tenant’s right to audit in the future pursuant to this Paragraph. Tenant will indemnify, defend upon request, and hold Landlord and Landlord’s mortgagee harmless from and against all costs, damages, claims, liabilities, expenses, losses, court costs, and attorneys’ fees suffered by or claimed against Landlord, based in whole or in part upon the breach of this Paragraph by Tenant or its auditor; and will cause its auditor to be similarly bound under a signed confidentiality covenant from the auditor in the form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.

(c) The obligations within the preceding clauses (a) through (b) of this Paragraph will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

5.7 This Lease shall be a “triple net” lease, and Base Rental will be paid to Landlord absolutely net of all costs and expenses, except to the extent otherwise specifically provided in the contrary in this Lease. The provisions for payment of Operating Expenses are intended to pass on to Tenant and reimburse Landlord for all costs and expenses in the nature described in this Paragraph 5 incurred in connection with the ownership, management, maintenance, repair, preservation, replacement and operation of the Property and its supporting facilities and such additional facilities now and in subsequent years as may be reasonably determined by Landlord to be necessary or desirable to the Building or Project, except to the extent otherwise specifically provided in this Lease.

5.8 Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes levied against Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and any other personal property located in or about the Premises. If any such taxes on Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and any other personal property are levied against Landlord or Landlord’s property or if the assessed value of Landlord’s property is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon such equipment, furniture, fixtures or any other personal property and if Landlord pays the taxes based upon such increased assessment, which Landlord shall have the right to do regardless of the validity thereof but only under proper protest if requested by Tenant, Tenant shall upon demand repay to Landlord the taxes so levied against Landlord or the proportion of such taxes resulting from such increase in the assessment, as the case may be. If the tenant improvements in the Premises, whether installed and/or paid for by Landlord or Tenant and whether or not affixed to the real property so as to become a part thereof, are assessed for real property tax purposes at a valuation higher than the valuation at which tenant improvements conforming to Landlord’s “building standard” in other space in the Building or Project are assessed, then the Taxes levied against Landlord or the property by reason of such excess assessed valuation shall be deemed to be taxes levied against personal property of Tenant and shall be governed by the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 5.8. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, but subject to the terms of Paragraph 5.1(f), Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency any (i) rent tax or sales tax, service tax, transfer tax or value added tax, or any other applicable tax on the rent or services herein or otherwise respecting this Lease, (ii) taxes assessed upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion of the Building or Project, including any Project parking facilities; or (iii) taxes assessed upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises.

6. SERVICES.

6.1 Basic Services.

(a) Tenant shall (where practicable) contract for and pay directly when due, for all water, gas, heat, air conditioning, light, power, telephone, sewer, sprinkler charges, cleaning, waste disposal and other utilities and services used on or from the Property, together with any taxes, penalties, surcharges or the like pertaining thereto, and maintenance charges for utilities and shall furnish all electric light bulbs, ballasts and tubes. However, Landlord initially will maintain the water meter(s) in its own name; provided, however, that if at any time during the Lease Term Landlord requires Tenant to put the water service in Tenant’s name, Tenant shall do so at Tenant’s sole cost. Tenant shall be responsible for determining if the local supplier of water, gas and electricity can supply the needs of Tenant and whether or not the existing water, gas and electrical distribution systems within the Building and the Property are adequate for Tenant’s needs. Tenant shall be responsible for determining if the existing sanitary and storm sewer systems now servicing the Property and the property are adequate for Tenant’s needs. Tenant shall pay all charges for water, gas, electricity and storm and sanitary sewer services as so supplied to the Property, irrespective of whether or not the services are maintained in Landlord’s or Tenant’s name. All sums payable under this Paragraph 6.1 shall constitute additional rent hereunder.

(b) Tenant acknowledges that Tenant has inspected and accepts the water, electricity, heat and air conditioning and other utilities and services being supplied or furnished to the Property as of the date Tenant takes possession of the Premises, if any, as being sufficient in their present condition, “as is,” for the permitted use as set forth in Paragraph 3.1, and for Tenant’s intended operations in the Premises. Tenant agrees at all times to cooperate reasonably with Landlord and to abide by all of the regulations and requirements which Landlord may reasonably prescribe for the proper functioning and protection of electrical, heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Landlord represents that as of the date of this Lease the Building is served by two (2) dedicated 2,000 AMP power services.

(c) Tenant shall not without written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, use any apparatus, equipment or devices in the Premises which will require additions or alterations to or interfere with the Building power distribution systems; nor connect with electric current, except through existing electrical outlets in the Premises or water pipes, any apparatus, equipment or device for the purpose of using electrical current, water, or any other resource. If Tenant shall require water or electric current or any other resource in excess of that being furnished or supplied for the use of the Premises as of the date Tenant takes possession of the Premises, if any, as reasonably determined by Landlord, Tenant shall first procure the written consent of Landlord which Landlord may not unreasonably withhold or delay, to the use thereof, and Landlord may cause a special meter to be installed in the Premises so as to measure the amount of water, electric current or other resource consumed for any such other use. Tenant shall pay the cost of all such additional resources, energy, utility service and meters (and of installation, maintenance and repair thereof and of any additional circuits or other equipment necessary to furnish such additional resources, energy, utility or service). Landlord represents that all systems servicing the Building are already separately metered. Landlord shall in no case be liable for any damages directly or indirectly resulting from nor shall the rent or any monies owed Landlord under this Lease herein reserved be abated by reason of: (a) the installation, use or interruption of use of any equipment used in connection with the furnishing of any such utilities or services, or any change in the character or means of supplying or providing any such utilities or services or any supplier thereof; (b) the failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any such utilities or services when such failure or delay is caused by acts of God or the elements, labor disturbances of any character, or otherwise, or because of any interruption of service due to Tenant’s use of water, electric current or other resource in excess of that being supplied or furnished for the use of the Premises as of the date Tenant takes possession of the Premises; or (c) the inadequacy, limitation, curtailment, rationing or restriction on use of water, electricity, gas of any other form of energy or any other service or utility whatsoever serving the Premises of Project otherwise; or (d) the partial or total unavailability of any such utilities or services in the Premises or the Building or the diminution in the quality or quantity thereof, whether by Regulation or otherwise, or (e) any interruption in Tenant’s business operations as a result of any such occurrence; nor shall any such occurrence constitute an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant or a breach of an implied

 

10


warranty by Landlord. Landlord shall further have no obligation to protect or preserve any apparatus, equipment or device installed by Tenant in the Premises, including without limitation by providing additional or after-hours heating or air conditioning. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1932(1) or any other applicable Regulations permitting the termination of this Lease due to such failure or interruption. Landlord shall be entitled to cooperate, to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations, with the efforts of national, state or local governmental agencies or utility suppliers in reducing energy or other resource consumption. The obligation to make service available hereunder shall be subject to such legally mandated program. In addition, Landlord reserves the right, with Tenant’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) to change the supplier or provider of any such utility or service from time to time. Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, upon notice to and receipt of the consent of Tenant (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), contract with or otherwise obtain any electrical or other such service for or with respect to the Premises or Tenant’s operations therein from any supplier or provider of any such service. Tenant shall cooperate reasonably with Landlord and any supplier or provider of such services reasonably designated by Landlord from time to time to facilitate the delivery of such services to Tenant at the premises and to the Building and Project, including without limitation allowing Landlord and Landlord’s suppliers or providers, and their respective agents and contractors, reasonable access to the Premises for the purpose of installing, maintaining, repairing, replacing or upgrading such service or any equipment or machinery associated therewith. If any utility or other service required to be provided by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 6.1 is interrupted, Tenant will promptly notify Landlord in writing. If (a) any utility or other service required to be provided by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 6.1 is interrupted and (b) such discontinuance or interruption is within Landlord’s reasonable control, and (c) such discontinuance or interruption continues for at least 7 consecutive business days and renders all or a material portion of the Premises untenantable for such period such that Tenant cannot and does not operate its business from the Premises or such portion for such period, then as Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy for such discontinuance or interruption Landlord will equitably abate Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Rental and Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses (as set forth in Paragraph 5) beginning on the 8th business day after the later of (i) the first day of such interruption and (ii) the date of Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice thereof, and ending on the date on which such service is substantially restored.

6.2 Parking.

(a) During the Lease Term, Tenant will have the exclusive use of the automobile parking areas within the Property, at no charge (subject to the inclusion of costs in connection therewith in Property Maintenance Costs), subject to rules and regulations for the use thereof as reasonably prescribed from time to time by Landlord. The parking areas shall be provided at 3.39 spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet of the Premises.

(b) All such parking shall be subject to rules and regulations for the use thereof as reasonably prescribed from time to time by Landlord. Landlord will not be responsible for money, jewelry, automobiles or other personal property lost in or stolen from the Building’s parking areas, or for vandalism to automobiles occurring in the Building’s parking areas, it being agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the use of the Building’s parking areas will be at the sole risk of Tenant and its employees. Landlord will have the right to temporarily close the Building’s parking areas to perform necessary repairs, maintenance and improvements to the parking areas so long as Landlord uses commercially reasonably efforts to minimize any interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises.

 

7. CONDITION OF PREMISES.

7.1 General Provision. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Paragraph 7 or in the Work Letter, all installations and improvements now or hereafter placed on the Premises will be for Tenant’s account and at Tenant’s cost (and Tenant will pay ad valorem taxes and increased insurance thereon or attributable thereto), which cost will be payable by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent in accordance with provisions of the Work Letter. Except to the extent expressly indicated in the Work Letter or this Lease, and subject to the provisions of Paragraph 9.3, Landlord is leasing the Premises to Tenant “as is,” without any representations or warranties of any kind (including, without limitation, any express or implied warranties of merchantability, fitness or habitability). Taking possession of the Premises by Tenant will be conclusive evidence as against Tenant

 

11


that the Premises were in good and satisfactory condition when possession was so taken, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Work Letter or in this Lease, and subject to Landlord’s obligations pursuant to Paragraph 7.2.

7.2 Condition. Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 7.1 to the contrary, Landlord will perform and substantially complete the work described on Exhibit K attached hereto on a one-time basis at Landlord’s cost using Building Standard materials and methods in a good and workmanlike manner (“Landlord’s Work”), and Landlord will use reasonable efforts to substantially complete such work on or before corresponding date set forth on Exhibit K, subject to extension for force majeure as described in Paragraph 12, and subject to delays caused by Tenant or its agents or contractors. The parties acknowledge that Tenant’s performance of the Tenant Work pursuant to the Work Letter may be ongoing while Landlord is performing Landlord’s Work. Tenant will reasonably cooperate with Landlord to accommodate performance of Landlord’s Work, and Landlord will reasonably cooperate with Tenant to minimize the disruption to Tenant’s performance of the Tenant Work.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 7.1 to the contrary, Landlord agrees that the Building electrical system, mechanical system, heating, ventilation and air conditioning system; plumbing system, and fire sprinkler system, serving the Premises and the roll up doors servicing the Premises shall be in good working condition and operable, and the decks and roof covering the Premises shall be water tight, all of the foregoing as of the date Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant. Except to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant or a Tenant Party (as defined in Paragraph 9.3) or by any alterations or improvements performed by or on behalf of Tenant (other than Landlord’s Work), if such systems are not in good working order or the roof is not water tight as of the date possession of the Premises is delivered to Tenant and Tenant provides Landlord with notice of the same within ninety (90) days following the Commencement Date, Landlord shall be responsible for repairing or restoring the same. If Tenant fails to give such notice within such 90-day period, then the Premises will conclusively be presumed to have been in good and satisfactory condition when possession was delivered. If Tenant gives such notice within such 90-day period, then the Premises will conclusively be presumed to have been in good and satisfactory condition when possession was delivered except as noted in such notice. Pursuant to Paragraph 2.2, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant possession of the Premises in the following condition (“Turnover Condition”): vacant, and broom clean. Landlord represents to Tenant that the work recently performed by Landlord in the Premises as described in Exhibit A attached hereto (“Landlord’s Previous Work”) was performed in accordance with applicable laws.

 

8. SIGNAGE.

8.1 Limitations. Tenant will not place or install on or within any portion of the Premises, the exterior of the Building, the Outside Areas or the Property any sign, advertisement, banner, placard, or picture which is visible from the exterior of the Premises, except as expressly permitted by this Paragraph 8. Tenant will not place or install on or within any portion of the Premises, the exterior of the Building, the Outside Areas or the Property any business identification sign which is visible from the exterior of the Premises unless and until Landlord approves the location, size, content, design, method of attachment and material to be used in making such sign (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Any such sign, once approved by Landlord, will be installed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and only in strict compliance with Landlord’s approval and any applicable Regulations, using a contractor approved by Landlord in writing (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Landlord may remove any signs (which have not been approved by Landlord in writing), advertisements, banners, placards or pictures so placed by Tenant on or within the Premises, the exterior of the Building, the Outside Areas or the Property and charge to Tenant the cost of such removal, together with any costs incurred by Landlord to repair any damage caused thereby, including any cost incurred to restore the surface (upon which such sign was so affixed) to its original condition. Tenant must remove all of Tenant’s, signs, repair any damage caused by the installation or removal thereof, and restore the surface upon which the sign was affixed to its original condition, all to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction, upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

8.2 Monument. During the Lease Term, Landlord agrees that Tenant will be permitted to install a sign panel or sign panels (collectively, Tenant’s Monument Sign Panels”) consisting of Tenant’s name and corporate logo on the existing exterior monument sign associated with the Building on Junction Drive (the “Building Monument Sign”), subject to all applicable Regulations and subject to the prior written approval by Landlord of the design and appearance of Tenant’s Monument Sign Panels, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Except for the Building address and other pertinent Building information (if

 

12


any), and subject to applicable law, Tenant’s Monument Sign Panels may occupy the entirety of the Building Monument Sign. Tenant’s Monument Sign Panels must use Building Standard materials and graphics. Tenant will be responsible for all costs in connection with Tenant’s Monument Sign Panels, including, without limitation, the cost of design, construction, maintenance, operation and removal at the end of the Lease Term. However, Tenant may apply a portion of the Allowance toward Tenant’s reasonable, actual out-of-pocket costs incurred with respect to the initial design, construction and installation of Tenant’s Monument Sign Panels. Landlord may relocate the Building Monument Sign in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, and Landlord shall have the right to alter the size, location, and configuration of the Building Monument Sign at any time during the Lease Term, at Landlord’s expense, with 30 days’ prior written notice to Tenant. Any such relocation will be subject to Tenant’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except that any relocation required applicable laws will not be subject to Tenant’s consent. Tenant’s Monument Sign Panels may display only Fusion-io, Inc.’s name and corporate logo or, with Landlord’s written approval, the name and corporate logo of Tenant’s Permitted Affiliated Transferee or other assignee of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, or subtenant of all or a portion of the Premises, pursuant to Paragraph 15.1; provided, however, that no more than two such names in total may appear on the Building Monument Sign at any time (e.g., Fusion-io, Inc.’s name plus the name of one of its subtenants). Such approval by Landlord will not be unreasonably conditioned or delayed, and will not be unreasonably withheld so long as such name is befitting of a tenant in a building comparable to the Building in class, location, size, and quality, in Landlord’s sole but reasonable judgment. Any signage rights granted under this Paragraph 8.2 shall be for the benefit of Fusion-io, Inc. only and cannot be transferred under an assignment or sublease, except as otherwise expressly set forth above.

8.3 Building Signs. Landlord agrees that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Paragraph, Tenant will have the right, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to install (1) a sign attached to the front side of the Building; and (2) a sign attached to the rear side of the Building facing Montague (each, a “Building Sign” and together the “Building Signs”). Nothing in this Paragraph will give Tenant or Fusion-io, Inc. naming rights to the Building. Tenant has no right to name the Building and Landlord has no obligation to name the Building after Tenant. The following terms and conditions will apply to the Building Sign:

(a) The Building Signs must comply with the Building Signage Criteria set forth in Exhibit I.

(b) The Building Signs must comply, and Tenant will at Tenant’s cost cause the Building Signs to be and to remain in compliance, with:

 

  (i) the Regulations of all federal, state and local governmental and quasi-governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Building;

 

  (ii) all applicable insurance requirements of both Landlord’s insurer and Tenant’s insurer; and

 

  (iii) all covenants, conditions and restrictions of record and the rules, regulations or requirements of any property association to which the Building is subject.

(c) Tenant will, at its sole expense, maintain each Building Sign in good condition at all times during the Lease Term.

(d) If Landlord becomes aware that any Building Sign is in violation of this Paragraph 8.4, Landlord will so notify Tenant. If Tenant becomes aware, whether by notice from Landlord or otherwise, that any Building Sign is in violation of this Paragraph 8.4, Tenant will promptly correct such violation. If Tenant fails to correct any such violation within 30 days after written notice from Landlord (or, if such correction cannot reasonably be achieved within such 30-day period, then within such longer period as may be reasonably necessary to effect such cure so long as Tenant commences such cure within such 30-day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion), then upon written demand by Landlord, Tenant will, at its sole cost and expense, immediately remove the subject Building Sign and repair and restore any damage caused by its installation or removal, and Tenant’s right to that Building Sign will terminate.

(e) Upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, or upon expiration or termination of Tenant’s right to the Building Signs (as provided above), Tenant will, at its sole cost and expense, remove the Building Signs and repair and restore any damage caused by its installation or removal, including, without limitation, restoring such portion of the Building to an architectural and aesthetic whole.

 

13


(f) Landlord will have the right, at Landlord’s cost, to temporarily remove any or all of the Building Signs in connection with any repairs in or upon the Building.

(g) Each Building Sign may display only Fusion-io, Inc.’s name and corporate logo or, with Landlord’s written approval, the name and corporate logo of Tenant’s Permitted Affiliated Transferee or other assignee of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, or subtenant of all or a portion of the Premises, pursuant to Paragraph 15.1; provided, however, that no more than one such name may appear on each Building Sign at any time (e.g., Fusion-io, Inc.’s name may appear on one Building Sign, and its subtenant’s name may appear on the other Building Sign). Such approval by Landlord will not be unreasonably conditioned or delayed, and will not be unreasonably withheld so long as such name is befitting of a tenant in a building comparable to the Building in class, location, size, and quality, in Landlord’s sole but reasonable judgment. Any signage rights granted in this Paragraph 8.3 shall be for the benefit of Fusion-io, Inc. only and cannot be transferred under an assignment or sublease, except as otherwise expressly set forth above.

 

9. CARE OF THE PREMISES BY TENANT; REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE; SURRENDER OF POSSESSION.

9.1 Moisture. Tenant shall not block or cover any of the heating, ventilation or air-conditioning ducts in the Premises. Tenant may not install or cause to be installed in the Premises a wall covering that is impermeable to humidity or vapor. Tenant will report to Landlord the following promptly upon becoming aware thereof: (i) any evidence of a water leak or excessive moisture in the Premises; (ii) any evidence of mold or mildew in the Premises; and (iii) any failure or malfunction in the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system serving the Premises.

9.2 Surrender. Tenant will not commit or allow any waste to be committed on any portion of the Premises. On or before the expiration or upon the sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove all of Tenant’s signs from the exterior of the Building and shall remove all of Tenant’s equipment, trade fixtures, furniture, supplies, wall decorations and other personal property from within the Premises, the Building and Outside Areas, and shall vacate and surrender the Premises, the Building, the Outside Areas and the Property to Landlord in the same condition, broom clean, as existed at the Lease Commencement Date, except for reasonable wear and tear, casualties, condemnation, Hazardous Materials (other than those released or emitted, or brought to the Property, by Tenant or another Tenant Party), repairs for which Tenant is not responsible pursuant to this Lease, and alterations or other interior improvements which Tenant is permitted to surrender at the termination of this Lease. Tenant shall repair all damage to the Leased Premises, the exterior of the Building and the Outside Areas caused by Tenant’s removal of Tenant’s property. Tenant shall patch and refinish, to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction, all penetrations made by Tenant or its employees to the floor, walls (except for reasonable wear and tear excepted) and, where necessary, replace or resurface same. Additionally, if and to the extent required pursuant to Paragraph 10.4, Tenant shall, upon the expiration or sooner termination of Lease, remove any Tenant Alterations and repair all damage caused by such removal. If the Premises, the Building, the Outside Areas and the Property are not surrendered to Landlord in the condition required by this Paragraph at the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, and if such failure continues for 5 business days after Landlord’s written notice to Tenant describing such failure in reasonable details, such failure will constitute a holding over pursuant to Paragraph 25, and in addition if the Premises, the Building, the Outside Areas and the property are not surrendered to Landlord in the condition required by this Paragraph at the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Landlord may, at Tenant’s expense, so remove Tenant’s signs, property and improvements not so removed and make such repairs and replacements not so made or hire, at Tenant’s expense, independent contractors to perform such work. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all costs reasonably and actually incurred by Landlord in returning the Premises, the Building and the Outside Areas to the required condition, together with interest on all costs so incurred from the date paid by Landlord at a rate equal to the Interest Rate (as defined in Paragraph 33.7) until paid. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of all costs so incurred plus such interest thereon, within 10 days of Landlord’s billing Tenant for same. Tenant will use commercially reasonable efforts to meet with Landlord for a joint inspection of the Premises on or about the time of the expiration date of this Lease. If Tenant fails to use commercially reasonable efforts to arrange such joint inspection, Landlord’s inspection at or after Tenant’s vacation of the Premises will be conclusively deemed correct for purposes of determining Tenant’s responsibility for repairs and restoration.

9.3 Landlord’s Repair and Maintenance. Landlord shall, at all times during the Lease Term, maintain in good condition and repair the foundation; roof structure; roof membrane; exterior walls (excluding paint unless paint is required for proper maintenance); footings, slab; elevators of the Building; water, sewer, and electrical lines and equipment located on or under the Property but outside of the Premises; and landscaping and parking areas on the Property. Landlord shall hire a licensed heating, ventilating and air conditioning contractor to regularly and periodically inspect and perform required maintenance on the heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment and systems serving the Premises (except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 37), and the cost of such contractor shall be a Property Maintenance Expense. Landlord shall hire, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, a licensed roofing contractor to regularly and periodically inspect and perform required maintenance on the roof of Premises, and the cost of such contractor shall be a Property Maintenance Expense. Landlord shall regularly and periodically sweep and clean the driveways and parking areas. The provisions of this Paragraph 9.3 shall in no way limit the right of Landlord to charge to Tenant, as Property Maintenance Costs pursuant to Paragraph 5.1 (to the extent permitted pursuant to Paragraph 5.1), the costs incurred by Landlord in performing such maintenance and making such repairs or replacements permitted or required by Paragraph 5.1(c), and hiring such contractors. The term “exterior walls” as used in this Paragraph 9.3 shall not include windows, glass or plate glass, doors, door locks, dock bumpers or dock plates, special store fronts or office entries. Any damage caused by or repairs necessitated by any negligence or act of Tenant or Tenant’s subtenants or assignees or their respective successors or their respective agents, employees, principals, contractors, or invitees (individually, a “Tenant Party,” and together, the “Tenant Parties”), may be repaired by Landlord at Landlord’s option and Tenant’s expense, subject to Paragraph 18. Tenant shall immediately give Landlord written notice of any defect or need of repairs in such components of the Building for which Landlord is responsible, after which Landlord shall have a reasonable opportunity and the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times to repair same. Landlord’s liability with respect to any defects, repairs, or maintenance for which Landlord is responsible under any of the provisions of this Lease shall be limited to the cost of such repairs or maintenance, and there shall be no abatement of rent and no liability of Landlord by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising from the making of repairs, alterations or improvements in or to any portion of the Premises, the Building or the Project or to fixtures, appurtenances or equipment in the Building, except as provided in Paragraph 20. If Landlord’s exercise of its rights under this Paragraph 9.3, or Landlord’s performance of its obligations under this Paragraph 9.3, renders all or a material portion of the Premises inaccessible or otherwise untenantable for 7 consecutive business days such that Tenant cannot and does not operate its business from the Premises or such portion for such period, then as Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy for such inaccessibility or untenantability Landlord will equitably abate Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Rental and Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses (as set forth in Paragraph 5) beginning on the 8th business day after the Premises or such portion becomes inaccessible or otherwise untenantable, and ending on the date on which the Premises or such portion becomes accessible and tenantable. Landlord shall perform and construct, and Tenant shall have no responsibility to perform or construct, any repair or improvements necessitated by Landlord’s negligence or breach of this Lease, or that of Landlord’s agents, employees, or contractors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord will replace the roof coating according to the specifications set forth on Exhibit N attached hereto, by the 3rd anniversary of the Commencement Date at Landlord’s sole cost, and not as an Operating Expense.

9.4 Tenant’s Repair and Maintenance. Subject to Landlord’s obligations set forth in Paragraphs 2.2 and 9.3, Tenant shall, at all times during the Lease Term and at its sole cost and expense, regularly clean and continuously keep and maintain in good order, condition and repair the Premises and every part thereof including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) all interior walls, floors and ceilings, (ii) all windows and doors, (iii) all electrical wiring, conduits, connectors and fixtures, (iv) all plumbing, pipes, sinks, toilets, faucets and drains, and (v) all lighting fixtures, bulbs and lamps. Subject to Paragraph 18, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, repair all damage (beyond normal and reasonable wear and tear) to the Premises, the Building, the Outside Areas or the Property caused by the activities of Tenant or Tenant Parties promptly following written notice from Landlord to so repair such damages. If Tenant shall fail to perform the required maintenance or fail to make repairs required of it pursuant to this paragraph within a reasonable period of time following notice from Landlord to do so, then Landlord may, at its election and without waiving any other remedy it may otherwise have under this Lease or at law, perform such maintenance or make such repairs and charge to Tenant, as additional rent, the reasonable costs so incurred by Landlord for same. All glass within or a part of the Leased Premises, both interior and exterior, is at the sole risk of Tenant and any broken glass shall promptly be replaced by Tenant at Tenant’s expense with glass of the same kind, size and quality. Tenant shall at Tenant’s expense also perform regular removal of trash and debris. If Tenant uses rail and if required by the railroad company, Tenant agrees to sign a joint, maintenance agreement governing the use of the rail spur, if

 

15


any. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, subject to Paragraph 18, Tenant shall, at its expense, promptly repair any damage to the Premises or the Building or Project resulting from or caused by any negligence or act of Tenant or Tenant Parties. Nothing herein shall expressly or by implication render Tenant Landlord’s agent or contractor to effect any repairs or maintenance required of Tenant under this Paragraph 9.4, as to all of which Tenant shall be solely responsible.

9.5 Waiver. Tenant waives all rights under and benefits of Subsection 1 of Section 1932 and Sections 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code or under any similar law, statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect, including, without limitation, the right to make repairs at the expense of Landlord or in lieu of such repairs to vacate the Premises.

9.5 Survival. The provisions of this Paragraph 9 will survive expiration or termination of this Lease.

 

10. REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS BY TENANT.

10.1 Subject to Paragraph 18, Tenant will, at Tenant’s own cost and expense, repair any damage done to the Project, or any part thereof, including replacement of damaged portions or items, caused by Tenant or Tenant’s agents, employees, invitees, or visitors, and Tenant covenants and agrees to make all such repairs as may be required to restore the Project to as good a condition as it was in prior to such damage. All such work or repairs by Tenant must be effected in compliance with all applicable Regulations; provided, however, if Tenant fails to make such repairs or replacements promptly, Landlord may, at its option, make repairs or replacements, and Tenant will pay (as additional rent) the cost thereof to the Landlord within 10 days of Landlord’s demand therefor, as additional rent. The provisions of this Paragraph 10.1 will survive expiration or termination of this Lease.

10.2 Tenant will not place or install or allow to be placed or installed any signs on or in the Premises which are visible from outside the Premises, without first obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord in each such instance, which consent may be given on such conditions as Landlord may elect.

10.3 Any alterations, additions or improvements made by or on behalf of Tenant to the Premises (“Tenant Alterations”) will be subject to Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Landlord will not be deemed to have unreasonably withheld its consent to any Tenant Alterations if its consent is withheld because such Tenant Alterations: (i) are not consistent with the first-class nature or the architectural character of the Building; (ii) could adversely affect the structure of the Building, the HVAC system or electrical, mechanical, plumbing or other lines or systems in the Building or the Building circuitry; (iii) could increase Landlord’s costs of operating and maintaining the Building unless Tenant pays all such costs; (iv) would violate the terms of any applicable zoning or building laws or ordinances; or (v) include the use of wall covering that is impermeable to humidity or vapor; the foregoing being merely examples of reasons for which Landlord may reasonably withhold its consent and will not be deemed exclusive of any permitted reasons for reasonably withholding consent, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing examples. However, with respect to alterations to the Premises comprised solely of cosmetic changes (such as painting and carpeting), or with respect to alterations to the Premises which do not consist solely of cosmetic changes but which cost $30,000 or less per project (for purposes of such determination, multiple alterations that are related will be grouped together) and which do not fall within any of the foregoing factors (i) through (v), Tenant will give Landlord prior written notice (only for such Tenant Alterations costing more than $5,000 (grouped as set forth above)) but need not obtain Landlord’s consent (such Tenant Alterations not requiring Landlord’s consent are referred to herein as “Minor Alterations”). Tenant will cause, at its expense, any Tenant Alterations to comply with applicable insurance requirements and with all applicable Regulations, and will construct at its expense any alteration or modification required by applicable Regulations as a result of any Tenant Alterations. All Tenant Alterations must be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner by contractors reasonably acceptable to Landlord and only good grades of materials may be used. Tenant may not install or cause to be installed in the Premises a wall covering that is impermeable to humidity or vapor. All plans and specifications for any Tenant Alterations requiring Landlord’s consent pursuant this Paragraph 10.3, and a copy of all required permits, must be submitted to Landlord for its approval before the work begins (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Landlord may monitor construction of the Tenant Alterations. Tenant will pay to Landlord as additional rent an amount equal to 3% of the total hard and soft costs of performing and constructing the Tenant Alterations to cover Landlord’s overhead expenses and to compensate Landlord for its services hereunder, and in addition Tenant will reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable actual out-of-pocket costs for third-party architectural or engineering (or both) review of Tenant’s

 

16


plans and specifications for such Tenant Alterations; provided, however, that such 3% fee and such reimbursement obligation will not apply to Tenant Alterations comprised solely of Minor Alterations. Landlord’s right to review plans and specifications and to monitor construction will be solely for its own benefit, and Landlord will have no duty to see that such plans and specifications or construction comply with applicable laws, codes, rules and regulations or that such plans and specifications are adequate for Tenant’s use or purposes. Tenant will provide Landlord with the identities and mailing address of all persons performing work or supplying materials, prior to beginning such construction of Tenant Alterations for which Landlord’s consent is required pursuant to this Paragraph 10.3, and Landlord may post on and about the Premises notices of nonresponsibility pursuant to applicable law. Tenant will provide certificates of insurance for worker’s compensation and other coverage in amounts and from an insurance company reasonably satisfactory to Landlord protecting Landlord against liability for personal injury and property damage during construction. Tenant will insure any such Tenant Alterations in accordance with Paragraph 17.1(a) (other than the Tenant Work, which shall be insured by Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 17.2). In connection with any Tenant Alterations, Tenant’s contractor must (and its contract must so provide):

(a) conduct its work in such a manner so as not to unreasonably interfere with Project operations, or any other construction occurring on or in the Project or in the Premises;

(b) execute a set of and comply with the Building’s then-current Tenant Contractor Rules and Regulations and comply with all additional rules and regulations relating to construction activities in or on the Project as may be reasonably promulgated from time to time and uniformly enforced by Landlord or its agents;

(c) deliver to Landlord detailed “as built” plans immediately after the alterations or improvements are complete, if requested by Landlord;

(d) be responsible for reaching an agreement with Landlord and its agents as to the terms and conditions for all contractor items relating to the conducting of its work including, but not limited to, those matters relating to hoisting, systems interfacing, use of temporary utilities, storage of materials and access to the Property; and

(e) perform its work in such a fashion and by such means as necessary to maintain peace and harmony among the other contractors serving the Project and so as not to cause interference with the continuance of work to be performed or services to be rendered to the Project. Without limiting the foregoing, the following work, whether performed as a Tenant Alteration or as an initial leasehold improvements pursuant to the Work Letter (if any) attached hereto, must be performed (and in the event that Tenant engages for or causes the same to be performed, Tenant will cause its contractor to engage such work to be performed) only by subcontractors having collective bargaining agreements with unions affiliated with the Building and Construction Trades Department of the AFL-CIO as of January 1, 2001 (a list of such unions is attached hereto as Exhibit F): (i) any expansion to expand the size of the Premises beyond the size of the initial Premises hereunder, including any tenant improvements in connection with such expansion; (ii) major repairs or replacements of any supplemental heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, or (iii) installation, repair and replacement of any electric panel board and any entry service cables.

For Tenant Alterations requiring Landlord’s consent, Landlord will have the right to approve Tenant’s contractor and all subcontractors to be used by Tenant’s contractor, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Tenant and its contractors are hereby prohibited from engaging any contractors or subcontractors that will or may cause labor disharmony. Upon completion of any Tenant Alterations requiring Landlord’s consent, Tenant will deliver to Landlord sworn statements setting forth the names of all contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers who did work on or supplied materials for the Tenant Alterations, and final, unconditional lien waivers from all such contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers in the form required by applicable law. Tenant will have no right to make any repairs, alterations or improvements to, within or on any of the Common Areas. Within ten (10) days following completion of any Tenant Alterations (but not for Minor Alterations), Tenant will cause a Notice of Completion to be recorded in the office of the Recorder of the County in which the Property is located in accordance with Section 3093 of the California Civil Code or any successor statute and furnish a copy thereof to Landlord upon recordation, and Tenant shall timely give all notices required pursuant to Section 3259.5 of the California Civil Code or any successor statute, failing which, Landlord may itself execute and file such Notice of Completion and give such notices on behalf of Tenant as Tenant’s agent for such purpose.

 

17


Landlord reserves the right to require that Tenant terminate its contract with Tenant’s contractor if such contractor is engaged in a labor dispute which disrupts such contractor’s work, the work of any other contractor at the Project or the operation of the Project. Landlord will also have the right to order any contractor of Tenant who violates any of Landlord’s requirements or standards of work to cease work and to remove himself, his equipment and his employees from the Project. Tenant agrees that its contractors will not conduct their work in such manner so as to interfere with or cause any interruption of (i) Landlord’s construction, (ii) another tenant’s occupancy or construction, or (iii) other phases of Landlord’s operation of the Project.

10.4 Any and all alterations or improvements to the Premises will become the property of Landlord upon termination of this Lease (except for movable equipment or furniture owned by Tenant). Landlord may, nonetheless, require Tenant to remove any and all fixtures, equipment and other alterations or improvements installed on the Premises and restore the Premises to Building Standard by the expiration or termination of this Lease. If Landlord so requires and Tenant fails to remove such improvements, Landlord may remove such improvements at Tenant’s cost, and Tenant will pay Landlord on demand (as additional rent) the cost of restoring the Premises to Building Standard. However, at the time that Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to specific alterations, Tenant may also request that Landlord notify Tenant whether Landlord will, upon expiration or termination of the Lease Term, require Tenant to remove the subject improvements. If Tenant so requests and if Landlord consents to the alterations, then Landlord will also notify Tenant whether Landlord will require removal of any such alterations or improvements at the expiration or termination of the Lease Term. At the expiration or termination of the Lease Term, Tenant will not be required to remove any such alterations or improvements if and to the extent that Landlord previously notified Tenant that removal of such alterations or improvements would not be required. The provisions of this Paragraph 10.4 will survive expiration or termination of this Lease. Landlord may require Tenant to remove wires, cables and telecommunications equipment pursuant to Paragraph 29. Tenant’s trade fixtures, furniture, equipment, and other personal property installed in the Premises (“Tenant’s Property”) shall at all times be and remain Tenant’s property. At any time, Tenant may remove Tenant’s Property from the Premises, provided that Tenant repairs all damage caused by the installation or removal thereof. Tenant must remove Tenant’s Property upon expiration or termination of this Lease pursuant to Paragraph 9.2.

 

11. HAZARDOUS MATERIAL.

11.1. General Restrictions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant at its sole cost, shall comply with all Regulations relating to the storage, use and disposal of Hazardous Materials on or about the Property by Tenant or any Tenant Party; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be responsible under this Lease for contamination of the Property by Hazardous Materials (i) existing as of the date possession of the Premises is delivered to Tenant (whether before or after the Commencement Date) unless caused by Tenant, or (ii) originating from sources outside of the Property, or (iii) Hazardous Materials caused or introduced by parties who are not Tenant Parties. Prior to Tenant (and at least 5 days prior to any assignee or any subtenant of Tenant) taking possession of any part of the Premises, and on each anniversary of the Commencement Date (each such date is hereinafter referred to as a “Disclosure Date”), until and including the first Disclosure Date occurring after the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall disclose to Landlord in writing the names and amounts of all Hazardous materials, or any combination thereof, which were Handled on, in, under or about the Premises or Project for the 12-month period prior to such Disclosure Date, or which Tenant intends to Handle on, under or about the Premises during the 12-month period following the Disclosure Date by executing and delivering to Landlord a “Hazardous Materials Questionnaire”, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (as updated and modified by Landlord, from time to time). Tenant’s disclosure obligations under this Paragraph 11.1 shall include a requirement that, to the extent any information contained in a Hazardous Materials Questionnaire previously delivered by Tenant shall become inaccurate in any material respect, Tenant shall immediately deliver to Landlord a new updated Hazardous Materials Questionnaire. Tenant may not store, use or dispose of any Hazardous Material except for those Hazardous Material listed in a Hazardous Materials Questionnaire which Tenant will deliver to Landlord upon execution of this Lease and update at least annually with Landlord (“Permitted Materials”) which may be used, stored and disposed of provided (i) such Permitted Materials are used, stored, transported, and disposed of in strict compliance with applicable laws, (ii) such Permitted Materials shall be limited to the materials listed on any may be used only in the quantities specified in the Hazardous Material Questionnaire, and (iii) Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of all material safety data sheets and other documentation required under applicable laws in connection

 

18


with Tenant’s use of Permitted Material as and when such documentation is provided to any regulatory authority having jurisdiction. In no event shall Tenant cause or permit to be discharged into the plumbing or sewage system of the Building or onto the land underlying or adjacent to the Building any Hazardous Material. Tenant shall be solely responsible for and shall defend, indemnify, and hold Landlord and its agents harmless from and against all claims, costs and liabilities, including attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of or in connection with Tenant’s storage, use or disposal of Hazardous Material. If the presence of Hazardous Material on the Premises caused by Tenant or any Tenant Party results in contamination or deterioration of water or soil, then Tenant shall promptly take any and all action necessary to clean up such contamination as required by law, but the foregoing shall in no event be deemed to constitute permission by Landlord to allow the presence of such Hazardous Material. At any time prior to the expiration of the Lease Term if Tenant has a reasonable basis to suspect that there has been any release or the presence of Hazardous Materials in the ground or ground water on the Premises which did not exist upon commencement of the Lease Term, Tenant shall have the right to conduct appropriate tests of water and soil and to deliver to Landlord the results of such tests to demonstrate that no contamination in excess of permitted levels has occurred as a result of Tenant’s use of the Premises. Tenant shall further be responsible for, and shall defend, indemnify, and hold Landlord and its agents harmless from and against all claims, costs and liabilities, including attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of or in connection with any removal, cleanup and restoration work as required by Regulations and materials required of Tenant hereunder to return the Property and any other property of whatever nature to their condition existing prior to the appearance of the Hazardous Materials caused or introduced by Tenant or any of the Tenant Parties.

11.2 Lease Expiration. Upon termination or expiration of the Lease, Tenant at its sole expense shall cause all Hazardous Material placed in or about the Premises, the Building or the Property by Tenant or any of the Tenant Parties, and all installations (whether interior or exterior) made by or on behalf of Tenant or any Tenant Parties relating to the storage, use, disposal or transportation of Hazardous Material to be removed from the Property and transported for use, storage or disposal in accordance and compliance with all laws and other requirements respecting Hazardous Material used or permitted to be used by Tenant. Tenant shall apply for and shall obtain from all appropriate regulatory authorities (including any applicable fire department or regional water quality control board) all permits, approvals and clearances necessary for the closure of the Property, and shall take all other actions as may be required to complete the closure of the Building and the Property, in each case with respect to (i) Hazardous Materials placed in or about the Premises, the Building or the Property by Tenant or any of the Tenant Parties, and (ii) all installations (whether interior or exterior) made by or on behalf of Tenant or any Tenant Parties relating to the storage, use, disposal or transportation of Hazardous Material. If such Hazardous Materials (other than Permitted Materials) introduced by Tenant or a Tenant Party are present on the Property, then Landlord may undertake an environmental site assessment from an environmental consulting company reasonably acceptable to Landlord which site assessment shall evidence Tenant’s compliance with this Paragraph 11.2. If such site assessment shall evidence Tenant’s failure to comply with this Paragraph 11.2, then in addition to promptly complying with this Paragraph 11.2, Tenant shall pay the reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in connection with such site assessment.

11.3 Additional Obligations. If any Hazardous Materials shall be released into the environment comprising or surrounding the Project by Tenant or any Tenant Party in violation of any law or this Lease, Tenant shall at its sole expense promptly prepare a remediation plan therefore consistent with applicable Regulations and recommended industry practices (and approved by Landlord (which approval by Landlord will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and all governmental agencies having jurisdiction) to fully remediate such release as required by law, and thereafter shall prosecute the remediation plan so approved in completion with all reasonable diligence and to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord and applicable governmental agencies. If any Hazardous Materials are Handled by Tenant or any Tenant Party in, under, on or about the Premises during the Term in violation of any law or this Lease, or if Landlord determines in good faith that Tenant or any Tenant Party may have released any Hazardous Material or violated any Hazardous Material Regulations in, on, under or about the Premises during the Term, Landlord may require Tenant to, at Tenant’s sole expense, (i) retain a qualified environmental consultant reasonably satisfactory to Landlord to conduct a reasonable investigation (an “Environmental Assessment”) of a nature and scope approved in writing in advance by Landlord (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) with respect to the existence of any Hazardous Materials in, on, under or about the Premises and providing a review of all Hazardous Materials activities of Tenant and the Tenant Parties, and (ii) provide to Landlord a reasonably detailed, written report, prepared in accordance with the institutional real estate standards, of the Environmental Assessment.

 

19


At any time prior to expiration of the Lease Term, subject to reasonable prior written notice (not less than 48 hours) and Tenant’s reasonable security requirements and provided such activities do not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of Tenant’s business at the Premises, Landlord shall have the right to enter in and upon the Property, Building and Premises in order to conduct appropriate tests (such as, without limitation, tests of water and soil) to determine whether levels of any Hazardous Material in excess of legally permissible levels has occurred as a result of Tenant’s use thereof. Landlord shall furnish copies of all such test results and reports to Tenant and, at Tenant’s option and cost, shall permit split sampling for testing and analysis by Tenant. Such testing shall be at Tenant’s expense if Landlord has a reasonable basis for suspecting and confirms the presence of Hazardous Material in the soil or surface or ground water in, on, under, or about the Property, the Building or the Premises, which has been caused by or resulted from the activities of Tenant or Tenant Parties.

11.4 Indemnity. Tenant shall indemnify, defend (by counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord), protect and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, costs, loss of rents, liens, damages, injuries or expenses (including attorneys’ and consultant’s fees and court costs), demands, causes of action, or judgments directly or indirectly arising out of or related to the use, generation, storage, release, or disposal of Hazardous Materials by Tenant or any of Tenant Parties in, on, under or about the Premises, the Building or the Project or surrounding land or environment, which indemnity shall include, without limitation, damages for personal or bodily injury, property damage, damage to the environment or natural resources occurring on or off the premises, losses attributable to diminution in value or adverse effects on marketability, the cost of any investigation, monitoring, government oversight, repair, removal, remediation, restoration, abatement, and disposal, and the preparation of any closure or other required plans, whether such action is required or necessary prior to or following the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Neither the consent by Landlord to the use, generation, storage, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials nor the strict compliance by Tenant with all laws pertaining to Hazardous Materials shall excuse Tenant from Tenant’s obligation of indemnification pursuant to this Paragraph 11.4. Tenant’s obligation pursuant to the foregoing indemnity shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

11.5 Cooperation. Landlord may voluntarily cooperate in a reasonable manner with the efforts of all governmental agencies in reducing actual or potential environmental damage, so long as the same do not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of or access to the Premises or unreasonably increase Tenant’s costs. Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease or to any reduction in or abatement of rent by reason of such voluntary cooperation, nor for any required compliance. Tenant agrees at all times to reasonably cooperate with the requirements and recommendations of governmental agencies regulating, or otherwise involved in, the protection of the environment.

Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C §12101 et seq.) and regulations and guidelines promulgated thereunder, as all of the same may be amended and supplemented from time to time (collectively referred to herein as the “ADA”), establishes requirements for

 

21


business operations, accessibility and barrier removal, and that certain requirements under ADA Title III may or may not apply to the Premises and the Building depending on, among other things: (1) whether Tenant’s business is deemed a “public accommodation” or “commercial facility”, (2) whether such requirements are “readily achievable”, and (3) whether a given alteration affects a primary function area or triggers “path of travel” requirements. The parties hereby agree that:

(A) Tenant will, at its sole cost and expense, strictly comply with all existing or future applicable municipal, state and federal and other governmental statutes, rules, requirements, regulations, laws and ordinances, including zoning ordinances and regulations, and covenants, easements and restrictions of record (collectively, “Regulations”) governing and relating to the use, occupancy or possession of the Premises and the Property, or to its use, storage, generation or disposal of Hazardous Material (as defined in Paragraph 11); provided, however, that except as otherwise set forth below, Tenant shall not be required to make any modifications, alterations or improvements to the Property due to the requirements of any Regulations except to the extent they are required by any Regulation because of or in connection with any of the following (in which event Tenant will perform the same at its sole cost): (i) Tenant’s particular use of occupancy of the Premises, the Building, the Outside Areas or the Property, (ii) Tenant’s application for any permit or governmental approval, or (iii) Tenant’s making of any modifications, alterations or improvements to or within the Property, including, without limitation, the Tenant Work and Tenant Alterations;

(B) Tenant shall be responsible for ADA Title III compliance with respect to any leasehold improvements (including pre-existing leasehold improvements) or other work to be performed in the Premises under or in connection with this Lease but excluding Landlord’s Work and excluding Landlord’s Previous Work (as defined in Paragraph 7.2, and as set forth in Paragraph 13.1(F)), it being understood that, with the exception of Landlord’s Work and Landlord’s Previous Work, any pre-existing leasehold improvements in the Premises are delivered as-is, and the responsibility for their compliance, with ADA and other Regulations will be borne by Tenant; for purposes of this Paragraph 13.1, “leasehold improvements” will exclude the building structure, building systems, roof, foundation, slab floors, and façade;

(C) Landlord may perform, or require that Tenant perform, and Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of, ADA Title III “path of travel” requirements triggered by alterations in the Premises constructed by or at the direction of Tenant;

(D) Landlord may perform, or require Tenant to perform, and Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of, ADA Title III compliance necessitated by the Building being deemed to be a “public accommodation” instead of a “commercial facility” as a result of Tenant’s use of the Premises;

(E) Tenant shall be solely responsible for requirements under Title I of the ADA relating to Tenant’s employees;

(F) notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraphs 13.1.(A)(ii), 13.1(A)(iii), and 13.1(C) above, if either (i) Landlord’s Work or Landlord’s Previous Work is out of compliance with Regulations as of the date on which Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant, or (ii) upgrades to the first component (Cause the Outside Areas to be in compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act) of Landlord’s Work as set forth on Exhibit K are required by Regulations in effect on the date on which Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant due to the Tenant Work as set forth in the Space Plan attached to Exhibit D, then in either case provided that Tenant so notifies Landlord in reasonable detail by the 180th day after the date on which Landlord delivers to Tenant possession of the Premises in Turnover Condition, Landlord will promptly perform such modifications thereto so as to render the same in conformity with Regulations, at Landlord’s cost, and Landlord will not include such cost in Property Maintenance Cost;

(G) except as otherwise set forth in clauses (A) through (F) above, Landlord will be responsible for maintenance (and compliance with Regulations) of the Outside Areas and shall charge through to Tenant the costs incurred in connection therewith as provided in Paragraph 13.1(I); accordingly, Landlord shall be responsible for ADA Title III compliance in the Outside Areas, except as set forth in clauses (A) through (E) above;

(H) except as otherwise set forth in clauses (A) through (F) above, in the event that, at any time during

 

22


the Lease Term, modifications, alterations or improvements to the Building or the Property (but excluding leasehold improvements, as described in Paragraph 13.1(B)) are required by any governmental authority, then Landlord shall make such modification, alterations or improvements with reasonable diligence, and shall charge through to Tenant the costs incurred in connection therewith as provided in Paragraph 13.1(I); and

(I) if Landlord is, at any time during the Lease Term, required by any governmental authority to make any modifications, alterations or improvements to the Building or the Property, then except as otherwise set forth above, the cost incurred by Landlord in making such modifications, alterations or improvements, including interest at a rate equal to eight percent (8%) per annum, will be amortized by Landlord over the useful life of such modifications, alterations or improvements, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the monthly amortized cost of such modifications, alterations and improvements as so amortized shall be considered a Property Maintenance Cost.

Landlord represents to Tenant that, to Landlord’s actual knowledge, Landlord has not received written notice from any governmental agencies that the Building is in violation of any Regulations. As used herein, the term “Landlord’s actual knowledge” means the actual conscious knowledge of Abigail San Juan and Joseph Munoz, and such persons shall not have any personal liability or be obligated to perform, and Landlord shall not be obligated to perform, any due diligence investigations in connection with making the representations set forth in this Paragraph 13. Tenant will, at its sole cost and expense, obtain any and all licenses or permits necessary for Tenant’s use of the Premises. Tenant will, at its sole cost and expense, promptly comply with the requirements of any board of fire underwriters or other similar body now or hereafter constituted. Tenant will indemnify, defend (by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord), protect and hold Landlord harmless from and against any loss, cost, expense, damage, attorneys’ fees or liability arising out of the failure of Tenant to comply with any Regulation. Tenant’s obligation pursuant to such indemnity will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

13.2 A copy of the initial Building Rules and Regulations is attached hereto as Exhibit C. Tenant will comply with such initial Building Rules and Regulations and with all reasonable additional Building Rules and Regulations and reasonable amendments to the Building Rules and Regulations adopted by Landlord from time to time, and will cause all of its agents, employees, invitees and visitors to do so. All changes to such rules will be furnished by Landlord to Tenant in writing, and must not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises or Tenant’s parking rights or unreasonably increase the obligations or decrease the rights of Tenant under this Lease. Landlord will not be responsible to Tenant for the nonperformance of any such Building Rules and Regulations by any other tenant or occupant of the Building. Landlord will not discriminate against Tenant in promulgating or enforcing the Building Rules and Regulations, except to the extent that differences between the buildings in the Project, or differences in tenants’ uses thereof, render the promulgation of certain rules or the enforcement thereof appropriate to one or more buildings or tenants in the Project but not to others. Wherever Landlord has agreed in this Lease or the exhibits hereto that Landlord will not discriminate against Tenant vis-à-vis other tenants of the Project or that Landlord’s rules or the enforcement thereof will be nondiscriminatory, the intention of the parties is that Landlord will not single out Tenant for enforcement of the subject provision when Landlord is not enforcing such provision against tenants generally. However, in no case is such non-discrimination language, in any instance, intended to confer “most favoured nation” status to Tenant. Accordingly, Tenant acknowledges that notwithstanding any such non-discrimination provisions, Landlord may, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, grant specific tenants modifications to or waivers of provisions of the Building Rules and Regulations, and may grant other various rights, benefits, concessions, waivers, and exemptions under or with respect to the Building Rules and Regulations or fees or charges for services or otherwise, without violating the provisions of any non-discrimination clause in this Lease or this exhibits hereto.

13.3 With respect to any insurance policies required or permitted to be carried by Landlord in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, Tenant shall not conduct nor permit any other person to conduct any activities nor keep, store or use (or allow any other person to keep, store or use) any item or thing within the Premises, the Building, the Outside Areas or the Property which (i) is prohibited under the terms of any such policies, (ii) could result in the termination of the coverage afforded under any of such policies, (iii) could give to the insurance carrier the right to cancel any of such policies, or (iv) could cause an increase in the rates (over standard rates) charged for the coverage afforded under any of such policies unless Tenant pays such

 

23


increase. Tenant shall comply with all requirements of any insurance company, insurance underwriter, or Board of Fire Underwriters which are necessary to maintain, at standard rates, the insurance coverage carried by either Landlord or Tenant pursuant to this Lease.

13.4 Tenant, in its use of the Outside Areas, shall at all times keep the Outside Areas free and clear of all materials, equipment, debris, trash (except within existing enclosed trash areas), inoperable vehicles, and other items to the extent left or placed in the Outside Areas by any of the Tenant Parties (as hereinafter defined) which are not specifically permitted by Landlord to be stored or located thereon by Tenant. If, in the opinion of Landlord, unauthorized persons are using any of the Outside Areas by reason of, or under claim of, the express or implied authority or consent of Tenant, then Tenant, upon demand of Landlord, shall restrain, to the fullest extent then allowed by Law, such unauthorized use, and shall initiate such appropriate proceedings as may be required to so restrain such use.

13.5 Landlord may voluntarily cooperate in a reasonable manner with the efforts of governmental agencies and/or utility suppliers in reducing energy or other resource consumption within the Property, provided such cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises or increase Tenant’s costs. Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease or to any reduction in or abatement of rent by reason of such cooperation. Tenant agrees at all times to cooperate fully with Landlord and to abide by all reasonable rules established by Landlord (provided that the same do not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises or increase Tenant’s costs): (i) in order to maximize the efficient operation of the electrical, heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems and all other energy or other resource consumption systems with the Property and (ii) in order to comply with the recommendations of utility suppliers and governmental agencies regulating the consumption of energy or other resources.

 

14. ENTRY BY LANDLORD; LIMITED ACCESS.

14.1 Landlord and its agents shall have the right to enter the enter the Premises during normal business hours after giving Tenant reasonable prior oral or written notice (agreed to be 24 hours’ oral or written notice except in the event of an emergency, in which event no notice will be required) and subject to Tenant’s reasonable security measures for the purpose of (i) inspecting the same; (ii) showing the Premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagees or tenants; (iii) making necessary alterations, additions or repairs; and (iv) performing any of Tenant’s obligations when Tenant has failed to do so within applicable notice and cure periods. Landlord shall have the right to enter the Premises during normal business hours (or as otherwise agreed), subject to Tenant’s reasonable security measures, for purposes for supplying any maintenance or services agreed to be supplied by Landlord. Landlord shall have the right to enter Outside Areas at all times and without notice for purposes of (i) inspecting the exterior of the Building and the Outside Areas; (ii) posting notices of nonresponsibility (and for such purposes Tenant shall provide Landlord at least twenty days’ prior written notice of any work to be performed on the Premises); and (iii) supplying any services to be provided by Landlord. Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises in connection with Landlord’s exercise of its rights under this Paragraph 14.1. Any entry into the Premises or the Outside Areas obtained by Landlord in accordance with this paragraph shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an eviction, actual or constructive of Tenant from the Premises or any portion thereof.

14.2 Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has not undertaken any duty whatsoever to provide security for the Premises, the Building, the Outside Areas or the Property and, accordingly, Landlord is not responsible for the security of same or the protection of Tenant’s property or Tenant’s employees, invitees or contractors. To the extent Tenant determines that such security or protection services are advisable or necessary, Tenant shall arrange for and pay the costs of providing same. Under no circumstances will Landlord or its managing agent or their respective agents or employees be liable for, and Tenant waives all claims with respect to, (a) any damages, injuries or losses sustained by Tenant or any occupant of the Premises or their respective agents, employees, licensees or invitees, including any property or consequential damages, resulting from Landlord’s failure to provide security, or (b) losses due to theft or burglary, or (c) the damages done by unauthorized persons on the Premises and neither will Landlord be required to insure against any such losses.

14.3 Landlord reserves the right from time to time to grant, without the consent or joinder of Tenant, such easements, rights of way and dedications that Landlord deems necessary, and to cause the recordation of parcel maps and restrictions, so long as such easements, rights of way and dedications do not materially interfere with the use of the Premises by Tenant or Tenant’s parking rights or materially increase Tenant’s costs. Tenant agrees to execute any documents reasonably requested by Landlord to effectuate any such easement rights, dedications, maps or restrictions.

 

24


14.4 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, Tenant will have access to the Premises 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year, excluding emergencies.

 

15. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

15.1 Tenant will not assign this Lease, or any interest herein, permit any assignment or other transfer of this Lease, or any interest herein, by operation of law, sublet the Premises, or any part thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, or suffer any other person to occupy or use the Premises, or any portion thereof, without first requesting the consent of Landlord, in writing, not more than 180 but not less than 30 days before the effective date of such assignment or sublease, and obtaining such consent in writing. Any request by Tenant for Landlord’s consent to a sublease or assignment must be accompanied by a copy of the proposed sublease or assignment agreement and reasonably detailed information and documentation, including current financial statements, regarding the proposed sublessee or assignee. Subject to Landlord’s rights under Paragraph 15.2, Landlord agrees not to unreasonably withhold or delay consent to any such assignment of this Lease or subletting of the Premises on the terms specified in Tenant’s written request for such consent. Without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent, the parties hereby agree that it shall be reasonable under this Lease and under any applicable law for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed assignment or subletting where one or more of the following apply: (i) at the time of Tenant’s request for consent and also at the commencement of the proposed sublease or assignment, Tenant is not in default under this Lease, (ii) Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, determines that the proposed use of the Premises, or the reputation, business, and/or financial responsibility of the proposed assignee or sublessee, is unsatisfactory, (iii) any assignee or sublessee does not expressly assume all the obligations of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed, (iv) the terms of the proposed assignment or subletting would allow the assignee or sublessee to exercise a right of renewal or extension, a right of expansion, right of first offer or right of first refusal, or other similar right held by Tenant, or (v) the proposed assignee or sublessee is a person or entity with whom Landlord or its agent is then negotiating or to or from whom Landlord or its agent has given or received a written proposal within the past 45 days regarding a lease of space in the Project. In connection with any consent by Landlord to any assignment or subletting, and without limiting any other terms or conditions set forth in this Paragraph 15, such consent will not release Tenant of any of its obligations under this Lease, including without limitation, its obligation to pay rent, and a consent to one assignment or subletting will not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting.

No permitted subtenant may assign or encumber its sublease or further sublease all or any portion of its subleased space, or otherwise permit the subleased space or any part of its subleased space to be used or occupied by others, without Landlord’s prior written consent in each instance; the standards for such consent will be as set forth above. Tenant may not mortgage, pledge or hypothecate its leasehold interest, and any attempted assignment, sublease or other transfer or encumbrance by Tenant in violation of the terms and covenants of this Paragraph 15 will be void.

For purposes of this Paragraph 15, a transfer of the ownership interests controlling Tenant will be deemed an assignment of this Lease unless such ownership interests are publicly traded or unless such transfers are made as part of a public offering. However, on the condition that Tenant is not in default of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease (after the giving of any required notice and expiration of any applicable cure period), Tenant will have the right, with advance written notice to but without the consent of Landlord and without payment of any Excess Rent, to sublease the Premises, or a portion thereof, or assign this Lease (each, a “Permitted Affiliated Transfer”), to the following (each, a “Permitted Affiliated Transferee”):

(A) any corporation or entity which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant, on the condition that (w) the Guarantor, if any, consents to such transaction and the Guaranty remains in full force and effect, (x) such sublease or assignment is for a good business purpose and not principally for the purpose of avoiding Landlord’s consent rights, (y) the proposed use of the Premises and the reputation, business, and financial responsibility of the proposed sublessee or assignee are consistent with the class and nature of the Building, and (z) in the case of an assignment, the assignee has a net worth reasonably sufficient to perform the obligations of the tenant under this Lease; or

(B) an entity into which Tenant is merged or consolidated or to an entity to which substantially all of

 

25


Tenant’s assets are transferred, on the condition that (w) the Guarantor, if any, consents to such transaction and the Guaranty remains in full force and effect, (x) such merger, consolidation or transfer of assets is for a good business purpose and not principally for the purpose of transferring Tenant’s leasehold estate, (y) the proposed use of the Premises and the reputation and business of the proposed assignee or transferee are consistent with the class and nature of the Building, and (z) the assignee or successor entity has a net worth at least equal to the lesser of (i) the net worth of Tenant immediately before such merger, consolidation or transfer; and (ii) $500 million. Tenant must provide Landlord with reasonably satisfactory evidence of such net worth (or make the same available to Landlord on the internet) at the time Tenant provides Landlord with notice of such transaction.

A transfer of ownership interests in Tenant constituting a change in control of Tenant shall also constitute a Permitted Affiliated Transfer on the condition that Tenant is not in default of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease (after the giving of any required notice and expiration of any applicable cure period) so long as (w) the Guarantor, if any, consents to such transaction and the Guaranty remains in full force and effect, (x) such transfer is for a good business purpose and not principally for the purpose of avoiding Landlord’s consent rights, (y) the proposed use of the Premises and the reputation, business, and financial responsibility of Tenant following the transfer are consistent with the class and nature of the Building, and (z) Tenant has a net worth at least equal to the net worth of Tenant immediately before such merger, consolidation or transfer or $500 million, whichever is lower. In addition, the provisions of Sections 15.2 and 15.3 shall not apply to a transaction that would otherwise be considered a Permitted Affiliated Transfer but for the failure of such transaction to satisfy the net worth test described in subpart (z) of the preceding sentence or subpart (z) of subpart (B) of the second sentence in this paragraph. Tenant must provide Landlord with reasonably satisfactory evidence of such net worth (or make the same available to Landlord on the internet) at the time Tenant provides Landlord with notice of such transaction. The term “control” as used in this Paragraph means a direct or indirect ownership interest with the power to directly or indirectly direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of the Tenant.

In connection with each request by Tenant for Landlord’s consent to a sublease or assignment, Tenant will pay to Landlord as additional rent the sum of the following, regardless of whether such consent is granted or denied: Landlord’s processing fee of $1,500, plus an amount equal to Landlord’s reasonable out-of-pocket administrative, legal and other costs and expenses incurred in processing such request or otherwise incurred in connection with such sublease or assignment. Such out-of-pocket costs and expenses (which are in addition to the $1,500 processing fee set forth above) will not exceed $1,500 for any single request for consent so long as this Lease is not amended in connection with such sublease or assignment, and Landlord is not requested to give any warranties or representations in connection therewith, and the proposed sublease or assignment documentation does not include provisions purporting to have Landlord giving or making consents or approvals (other than to the sublease or assignment itself), waivers, indemnities or other changes in position by virtue of consenting to the sublease or assignment.

If all or any part of the Premises are then subleased, any termination of this Lease or of Tenant’s right to possession in connection with an Event of Default will, at Landlord’s option, either, (a) terminate the sublease or (b) operate as an assignment to Landlord of the sublease. Landlord shall not be liable for any prepaid rents nor any security deposits paid by the subtenant. Landlord will not be liable for any other defaults of the Tenant under the sublease agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if Tenant or any proposed assignee or sublessee claims that Landlord has unreasonably withheld or delayed its consent, or otherwise has breached or acted unreasonably, under this Paragraph 15, 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 in equity to terminate this Lease, on its own behalf and, to the extent permitted under all applicable laws, on behalf of the proposed assignee or sublessee. The foregoing includes, without limitation, Tenant’s waiver (on its own behalf and, to the extent permitted under all applicable laws, on behalf of the proposed assignee or sublessee) of the provisions of Section 1995.310 of the California Civil Code, or any similar or successor law, statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.

Each subtenant, assignee, or other occupant of the Premises or any portion thereof occupying under a sublease, lease assignment, license, or other occupancy agreement or authorization by or from Tenant hereby remakes and restates on its own behalf each waiver made by Tenant in Paragraph 18 of this Lease.

 

26


15.2 If Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to a proposed subletting or assignment as described above, at Landlord’s option, Landlord may, by giving written notice to Tenant within 20 days after the effective date of Tenant’s notice, terminate this Lease with respect to the space described in Tenant’s notice, as of the date specified in Tenant’s notice for the commencement of the proposed assignment or sublease. However, nothing in this Paragraph 15.2 will be deemed to be a consent by Landlord to any subletting or assignment unless Landlord delivers to Tenant its written consent. Notwithstanding Landlord’s consent on any one occasion, the right to recapture set forth in this Paragraph 15.2 will apply to any further subletting or assignment. The recapture right set forth in this Paragraph 15.2 will not apply to:

(a) any Permitted Affiliated Transfer; or

(b) any sublease that, by its terms,

(i) expires at least 181 days before the expiration of the Lease Term, with the subtenant having no right to renew or extend the sublease term into the 180-day period ending on the expiration date of the Lease Term; or

(ii) grants to the subtenant the right to use no more than 39,571 rentable square feet and subleases a rentable area which, when combined with the rentable area of all other subleased space in the Premises expiring within 180 days of the expiration date of the Lease Term, does not exceed 39,571 rentable square feet, excluding, however, subleases to any entity with which Tenant has a good-faith business or contractual relationship separate from and unrelated to such sublease.

15.3 If Landlord consents to any sublease or assignment of the Premises, or any part thereof, Tenant will in consideration therefor pay to Landlord, as additional rent, 50% of the Excess Rent (defined below) after deducting from Excess Rent the reasonable and customary out-of-pocket transaction costs incurred by Tenant in connection with such subletting or assignment, including attorneys’ fees, brokerage commissions, and alteration costs. For purposes of this Paragraph, “Excess Rent” means all rents, additional charges, and other consideration payable to Tenant or Tenant’s affiliates by the subtenant or assignee, expressed on a per rentable square foot basis, for or by reason of such sublease or assignment and which are, in the aggregate, in excess of the rent payable under this Lease for the subleased or assigned space during the term of the sublease or assignment. Any amounts payable by Tenant pursuant to this Paragraph will be paid by Tenant to Landlord as and when amounts on account thereof are paid by any subtenant or assignee to Tenant, and Tenant agrees to promptly furnish such information with regard thereto as Landlord may request from time to time. Landlord may at any time and from time to time (but in no event more often than once every six (6) months), and upon prior notice to Tenant, audit and inspect Tenant’s books, records, accounts, and federal income tax returns to verify the determination of additional rent payable under this Paragraph. The provisions of this Paragraph 15.3 will not apply to Permitted Affiliated Transfers.

15.4 All public advertisements of the assignment of the Lease or sublease of the Premises, or any portion thereof, are subject to prior written approval by Landlord (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). For purposes of this Paragraph 15.4, listing space with a broker, or publishing the availability of such space on CoStar, or the like, do not constitute public advertisements. The placement or display of any signs or lettering on the exterior of the Premises, or on the glass or any window or door of the Premises, or in the interior of the Premises if it is visible from the exterior, is strictly prohibited.

15.5 The listing or posting of any name, other than that of Tenant, whether on the door or exterior wall of the Premises, the Building’s tenant directory in the lobby or elevator, or elsewhere, will not (a) constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right to withhold consent to any sublet or assignment pursuant to this Paragraph, (b) be deemed an implied consent by Landlord to any sublet of the Premises or any portion thereof, to any assignment or transfer of the Lease, or to any unauthorized occupancy of the Premises, except in accordance with the express terms of the Lease, or (c) operate to vest any right or interest in the Lease or in the Premises.

15.6 In the case of any assignment of this Lease by Tenant, the assignor and the assignee will be jointly and severally liable for all of the obligations of the tenant under this Lease accruing thereafter. The joint and several liability of Tenant named herein and any immediate and remote successor in interest of Tenant (by assignment or otherwise), and the due performance of the obligations of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed or observed, will not in any way be discharged, released or impaired by any (a) agreement which modifies any of the rights or obligations of the parties under this Lease, (b) stipulation which extends the time within which an obligation under this Lease is to be performed, (c) waiver of the performance of an obligation required under this Lease, or (d) failure to enforce any of the obligations set forth in this Lease.

 

27


15.7 Anything contained in the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 15 to the contrary notwithstanding, neither Tenant nor any other person having an interest in the possession, use, occupancy or utilization of the Premises may enter into any lease, sublease, license, concession or other agreement for use, occupancy or utilization of space in the Premises which provides for rental or other payment for such use, occupancy or utilization based, in whole or in part, on the net income or profits derived by any person from the Premises leased, used, occupied or utilized (other than an amount based on a fixed percentage or percentages of receipts of sales), and any such proposed lease, sublease, license, concession or other agreement will be absolutely void and ineffective as a conveyance or any right or interest in the possession, use, occupancy or utilization of any part of the Premises.

 

16. MECHANIC’S LIEN.

16.1 Tenant will not permit any mechanic’s lien or liens to be placed upon the Premises or the Project. Nothing in this Lease will be deemed or construed in any way as constituting the consent or request of Landlord, express or implied, to any person for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any materials to all or part of the Premises, nor as giving Tenant any right, power, or authority to contract for or permit the rendering of any services or the furnishing thereof that would or might give rise to any mechanic’s or other liens against the Premises.

16.2 If any such lien is claimed against the Premises, then Tenant will discharge said lien or cause the same to be bonded or insured over in an amount and by a bonding company or title insurance company reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, within 10 days of delivery to Tenant (by Landlord, the lien claimant, or other third party) of actual or constructive (pursuant to applicable construction lien statutes) notice of filing, failing which, in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord, Landlord may, but will not be obligated to, discharge the same. Any amount paid by Landlord for such purposes will be paid by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent within 10 days of Landlord’s demand therefor.

16.3 Landlord’s interest in the Premises will not be subject to liens for improvements made by the Tenant, and Tenant will have no power or authority to create any lien or permit any lien to attach to the Premises or to the present estate, reversion or other estate of Landlord in the Premises herein demised or other improvements thereon as a result of improvements made by Tenant or for any other cause or reason. All materialmen, contractors, artisans, mechanics and laborers and other persons contracting with Tenant with respect to the Premises or any part thereof, or any such party who may avail himself of any lien against realty (whether same proceeds in law or in equity), are hereby charged with notice that such liens are expressly prohibited and that they must look solely to Tenant to secure payment for any work done or material furnished for improvements by Tenant or for any other purpose during the Lease Term. Tenant will indemnify, defend upon request, and hold harmless Landlord and Landlord’s mortgagee from and against any loss or expenses incurred as a result of the assertion of any such lien.

Certificates of insurance will include an endorsement for each policy showing that the Required Additional Insureds are included as additional insureds on liability policies (except employer’s liability). The Evidence of Property Insurance Form will name Landlord as loss payee for property insurance as respects Landlord’s interest in improvements and betterments. Further, the certificates must indicate that insurers will endeavor to provide at least 30 days’ prior notice to Landlord and Landlord’s managing agent prior to any cancellation of coverage.

If Tenant fails to provide evidence of insurance required to be provided by Tenant hereunder, prior to commencement of the term and thereafter during the term, within 10 days following Landlord’s request thereof, and 10 days prior to the expiration date of any such coverage, Landlord will be authorized (but not required) to procure such coverage in the amount stated with all costs thereof to be chargeable to Tenant and payable upon written invoice thereof.

The limits of insurance required by this lease, or as carried by Tenant, will not limit the liability of Tenant or relieve Tenant of any obligation thereunder, except to the extent provided for under Paragraph 18 below (Waiver of Claims; Waiver of Subrogation). Any deductibles selected by Tenant will be the sole responsibility of Tenant.

In the event there is a change in any of the insurance industry’s forms required under this Paragraph 17.1, or there is a significant change in the common insurance requirements of other institutional landlords (unrelated to Landlord) for similar leased properties in the same geographic area as the Property hereunder, Landlord may, in its reasonable discretion, change the insurance policy limits and forms which are required to be provided by Tenant; provided that such changes will be made to conform with such insurance industry changes or common insurance requirements of other (unrelated) institutional landlords. Landlord will not change required insurance limits or forms more often than once per calendar year, and will not change such required limits or forms before the 2nd anniversary of the Commencement Date.

17.2 Landlord’s Insurance. Landlord agrees to maintain during the Lease Term “all-risk” insurance on the Building (including the Tenant Work) at full replacement cost, excluding the items which Tenant is required to insure under Paragraph 17.1(a). Landlord will carry earthquake insurance on the Property unless it is commercially unreasonable to do so in Landlord’s reasonable determination.

 

18. WAIVER OF CLAIMS; WAIVER OF SUBROGATION.

To the extent permitted by law and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant waives all claims it may have against Landlord, its agents or employees for damage to business or property sustained by Tenant resulting from the Premises or the Project or any part of said Premises or Project becoming out of repair or resulting from any accident within or adjacent to the Premises or Project or resulting directly or indirectly from any act or omission of Landlord or any occupant of the Premises or Project or any other person while on the Premises or the Project, except that in respect of damage to property, such waiver will be limited to the extent such claim is or would be covered by any property insurance that Tenant actually carries or is required under Paragraph 17.1(a) to carry, regardless of cause or origin or the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord. The waiver in this grammatical paragraph will also apply as to the amount of any deductible under Tenant’s insurance. Particularly, but not in limitation of the foregoing sentence, all property belonging to Tenant that is in the Project or the Premises will be there at the risk of Tenant only, and Landlord or its agents or employees will not be liable for damage to or theft of or misappropriation of such property, nor for any damage to property resulting from fire, explosion, flooding of basements or other subsurface areas, falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity, snow, water or rain which may leak from any part of the Project or from the pipes, appliances or plumbing works therein or from the roof, street or subsurface or from any other place or resulting from dampness or any other cause whatsoever, nor for any latent defect in the Premises or in the Project, to the extent that such claim is or would be covered by any property insurance that Tenant actually carries or is required under Paragraph 17.1(a) to carry. Tenant will give prompt notice to Landlord in accordance with Paragraph 20.1 in case of fire or accidents in the Premises or in the Project or of defects therein or in the fixtures or equipment.

 

30


Tenant agrees to include in the insurance policies which Tenant is required by this Lease to carry in accordance with Paragraphs 17.1(a) and 17.1(b), to the fullest extent permitted by law, a waiver of subrogation against Landlord and Landlord’s managing agent.

To the extent permitted by law and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Landlord waives all claims it may have against Tenant, its agents or employees for damage to the Project resulting directly or indirectly from any act or omission of Tenant or any occupant of the Premises or any other person while on the Premises, to the extent that such claim is due to a risk covered by any property insurance which Landlord is required under Paragraph 17.2 to carry on the Building, regardless of cause or origin or the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant. Landlord will include in any property insurance policy which Landlord may carry on the Building, to the extent permitted by law, a waiver of subrogation against Tenant. All of Landlord’s and Tenant’s repair and indemnity obligations under this Lease shall be subject to the waivers contained in this Paragraph 18.

Landlord will not be required to maintain insurance against thefts within the Premises or the Project.

 

19. INDEMNIFICATION.

Tenant will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord and Landlord’s mortgagee and agents and their respective officers, directors, beneficiaries, shareholders, partners, employees, agents and contractors (the “Parties Indemnified by Tenant”) from and against any and all loss, damage, claim, demand, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from claims by third parties and based on any negligence or willful misconduct of or violation of this Lease by Tenant or its subtenants and their respective employees, agents and contractors in connection with the Building. Tenant will have the right and obligation to assume the defense of any claim covered by this indemnity on behalf of both itself and the Parties Indemnified by Tenant, and the Parties Indemnified by Tenant may not settle such claim without the consent of Tenant (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided (i) Tenant acknowledges to the Parties Indemnified by Tenant in writing that it is responsible for such claim under the terms of this paragraph and (ii) the lawyers selected by Tenant to handle such defense are reasonably satisfactory to the Parties Indemnified by Tenant and such representation does not result in a conflict of interest for such lawyers. The Parties Indemnified by Tenant may participate in the defense of such claim at their own expense unless Tenant is not representing the Parties Indemnified by Tenant in which case the reasonable expense of the Parties Indemnified by Tenant in defending against such claim will be paid by Tenant. The provisions of this paragraph will survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 14.2, Landlord will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Tenant and Tenant’s agents and their respective officers, directors, beneficiaries, shareholders, partners, employees, agents and contractors (the “Parties Indemnified by Landlord”) from and against any and all loss, damage, claim, demand, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from claims by third parties and based on any negligence or willful misconduct of or violation of this Lease by Landlord, its employees, agents and contractors in connection with the Building. Landlord will have the right and obligation to assume the defense of any claim covered by this indemnity on behalf of both itself and the Parties Indemnified by Landlord, and the Parties Indemnified by Landlord may not settle such claim without the consent of Landlord (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided (i) Landlord acknowledges to the Parties Indemnified by Landlord in writing that it is responsible for such claim under the terms of this paragraph and (ii) the lawyers selected by Landlord to handle such defense are reasonably satisfactory to the Parties Indemnified by Landlord and such representation does not result in a conflict of interest for such lawyers. The Parties Indemnified by Landlord may participate in the defense of such claim at their own expense unless Landlord is not representing the Parties Indemnified by Landlord in which case the reasonable expense of the Parties Indemnified by Landlord in defending against such claim will be paid by Landlord. The provisions of this paragraph will survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

 

20. CASUALTY DAMAGE.

20.1 If the Premises or any part thereof are damaged by fire or other casualty, Tenant will give prompt written notice thereof to Landlord. This Lease will automatically terminate if the Building is totally destroyed by fire or other casualty.

 

31


20.2 If the Building is not totally destroyed but is damaged such that substantial alteration or reconstruction of the Building is, in Landlord’s sole opinion, required (whether or not the Premises are damaged by such casualty) or if any mortgagee of the Building requires that the insurance proceeds payable as a result of a casualty be applied to the payment of the mortgage debt or in the event of any material uninsured loss to the Building, Landlord may, at its option, terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within 90 days after the date of such damage. In addition, if a substantial portion of the Building is destroyed such that the Premises become untenantable, then Landlord will select a registered architect licensed to do business in California to estimate the time for completion. If such architect should certify that such work to the Premises cannot be accomplished by using standard working methods and procedures so as to make the Premises tenantable within 270 days from the date of the casualty or within 3 months from such date if the Lease Term has less than 12 months remaining, either party will have the right to terminate this Lease by giving to the other notice of such election within 10 days after Tenant’s receipt of the architect’s certificate. If this Lease is not terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 20.2 but such restoration work is not actually substantially completed within 90 days after the later of the date so estimated by the architect and the 270th day after the date of the casualty (without extension for delays due to force majeure as provided in Paragraph 12), then Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving Landlord notice of such election within 10 days after the later of such dates.

20.3 If this Lease is not terminated as provided above, then (i) Tenant will take such action as is necessary to make available applicable insurance proceeds on Tenant’s fixtures and personal property in the Premises, and on any leasehold improvements, alterations, additions which Tenant is required to insure in accordance with Paragraph 17.1(a), and Tenant will cause such insurance proceeds on such leasehold improvements, alterations and additions to be paid to Landlord (and will pay to Landlord Tenant’s deductible under such insurance) and will cause such insurance proceeds on Tenant’s fixtures and personal property to be paid to Tenant; and (ii) Landlord will take such action as is necessary to make applicable insurance proceeds available with respect to the Building and will commence and proceed with reasonable diligence to restore the Building and the Premises to the condition that existed prior to the casualty. However, Landlord will not be obligated to spend for such work an amount in excess of the sum of (a) the insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord as a result of the casualty plus, in the event that Landlord fails to carry the required insurance under Paragraph 17.2, the amount of insurance proceeds Landlord would have collected if Landlord had carried the required insurance; plus (b) the amount of any deductible under Landlord’s insurance; plus (c) in the event that the insurer under Landlord’s insurance policy invokes a coinsurance right due to underreporting value, the amount of the coinsurance contribution from Landlord required under such coinsurance provision; plus (d) the amount of any deductible under Tenant’s insurance paid by Tenant to Landlord; plus (e) $165,000; plus (f) such additional amount (if any) as Tenant may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to contribute toward such restoration; provided, however, that if the sum of such amounts is not adequate to restore the damage and Landlord elects (in its sole and absolute discretion) not to incur such shortfall, Landlord will promptly notify Tenant thereof, in which event either party may terminate this Lease upon written notice to the other. Tenant will be responsible for replacing and restoring Tenant’s fixtures and personal property.

20.4 Landlord will not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or injury to the business of Tenant resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof, except that Landlord will allow Tenant a fair diminution of rent during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy.

20.5 Intentionally Deleted.

20.6 The provisions of this Lease, including this Paragraph 20, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the Premises, the Building or any other portion of the Property, and any statute or regulation of the state in which the Property is located, with respect to any rights or obligations concerning damage or destruction in the absence of an express agreement between the parties, and any other statute or regulation, now or hereafter in effect, shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of the Premises, the Building or any other portion of the Property. Without limiting the foregoing, as a material inducement to Landlord entering into this Lease, Tenant hereby waives any rights it may have under Sections 1932, 1934(4), 1941 or 1942 of the California Civil Code with respect to any destruction of the Premises, Landlord’s obligation for tenantability of the Premises, and Tenant’s right to make repairs and deduct the expense of such repairs, or under any similar law statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.

 

32


21. CONDEMNATION.

21.1 If the whole or substantially the whole of the Building or the Premises is taken for any public or quasi-public use, by right of eminent domain or otherwise, or if it is sold in lieu of condemnation, then this Lease will terminate as of the date when physical possession of the Building or the Premises is taken by the condemning authority.

21.2 If a substantial portion but less than the whole or substantially the whole of the Building or the Premises is thus taken or sold, Landlord (regardless of whether the Premises are affected thereby) may terminate this Lease by giving written notice thereof to Tenant, in which event this Lease will terminate as of the date when physical possession of such portion of the Building or Premises is taken by the condemning authority. If a substantial portion but less than the whole or substantially the whole of the Premises is thus taken or sold and the remaining Premises are not reasonably suitable for the conduct of Tenant’s business thereon, Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving written notice thereof to Landlord within 15 days after the date of the taking, in which event this Lease will terminate as of the date when physical possession of such portion of the Building or Premises is taken by the condemning authority. If all or a portion of the parking spaces of the Property are taken or sold under such power of eminent domain, Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to make a like number of spaces available to Tenant within the Project; if such taking is permanent and if the sum of the number of remaining parking spaces at the Property plus such other parking spaces within the Project made available by Landlord to Tenant is less than 250 spaces, then Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving written notice thereof to Landlord within 15 days after the date of the taking, in which event this Lease will terminate as of the date of Tenant’s notice of termination.

21.3 If this Lease is not so terminated upon any such taking or sale described in Paragraph 21.2, then from the date of taking or sale the Base Rental payable hereunder will be reduced by a fraction equal to the Premises rentable square footage taken divided by the total rentable square footage of the Premises before the taking or sale, and Landlord will, to the extent Landlord deems feasible, restore the Building and the Premises, including tenant improvements (but excluding Tenant’s fixtures and personal property) to a complete architectural unit. However, Landlord will not be required to spend for such work an amount in excess of the amount received by Landlord as compensation for such damage. In addition, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses will be reduced accordingly.

21.4 All amounts awarded upon a taking of any part or all of the Project or the Premises will belong to Landlord, and Tenant will not be entitled to and expressly waives all claim to any such compensation, except that:

(a) Tenant will have the right to file any separate claim available to Tenant for moving expenses, and any damages expressly referable to Tenant’s business as the same may be permitted by law, in each case on the condition that such award is separately payable to Tenant and does not diminish the award available to Landlord or any lender; and

(b) if this lease is terminated pursuant to this Paragraph 21, for a taking which occurs during the first 75 months of the initial Lease Term, provided that Landlord first recovers (from the condemnation award) for its own account the unamortized amount (as of the date of termination (or, in the case of a partial taking, as of the date of taking)) of the Allowance (amortized on a straight-line basis over the initial Lease Term), Landlord shall pay to Tenant, from (and in an amount not exceeding) the remaining balance of the condemnation award actually received by Landlord, the excess (if any) of the sum of the unamortized amount, as of the date of termination (or, in the case of a partial taking, as of the date of taking), of the Cost of Tenant Work plus the actual documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by Tenant in performing Tenant Alterations, over the Allowance and any subsequent allowance disbursed or credited by Landlord to or for the benefit of Tenant, assuming amortization on a straight line basis over the period beginning on substantial completion of the subject improvements and ending on the expiration date of the initial Lease Term.

21.5 Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it might otherwise have pursuant to Section 1265.130 of The California Code of Civil Procedure.

 

33


22. EVENTS OF DEFAULT/REMEDIES.

22.1 “Events of Default” by Tenant. The happening of any one or more of the following listed events (each an “Event of Default”) will constitute a breach of this lease by Tenant:

(a) The failure of Tenant to pay any rent or any other sums of money due hereunder within 5 days after notice; for purposes of this Lease, any statutory notice given by Landlord to Tenant in accordance with applicable law will suffice for the notice referred to above in this Subparagraph (a);

(b) The taking of the leasehold on execution or other process of law in any action against Tenant;

(c) Tenant (the term “Tenant” shall include, for the purpose of this Paragraph 22.1(c), any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations hereunder) becoming unable to pay its debts as they become due;

(d) Tenant (the term “Tenant” shall include, for the purpose of this Paragraph 22.1(d), any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations hereunder) taking any action to, or notifying Landlord that Tenant intends to, file a petition under the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) as amended, or any similar law or statute of the United States, or any state; or (subject to the provisions set forth below in this Paragraph 22.1), the filing of a petition against Tenant under any such statute or law;

(e) The appointment of a receiver or trustee for Tenant’s leasehold interest in the Premises or for all or a substantial part of the assets of Tenant, or the appointment of a receiver or trustee for all or a substantial part of the assets of any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease (in each case, subject to the provisions set forth below in this Paragraph 22.1);

(f) Breach of any of the provisions of Paragraph 15 (Assignment and Subletting) or of Paragraph 26 (Subordination to Mortgage) that continues more than ten (10) days after notice thereof by Landlord;

(g) Abandonment of the Premises; or

(h) The failure of Tenant to comply with any other provision of this Lease or any other agreement between Landlord and Tenant (including the Work Letter; all of which terms, provisions, and covenants will be deemed material) within 30 days after notice if such failure consists of something other than a failure to pay money (unless the default involves a hazardous condition, which must be cured forthwith); provided, however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 or any similar or successor law; and provided, further, that if such failure cannot be cured within such 30-day period and does not involve a hazardous condition, and if Tenant commences to cure the same within such 30-day period and continues to use diligent efforts to cure such failure, then such 30-day grace period will be extended for an additional 60 days, such that the maximum grace period is 90 days; for purposes of this Lease, any statutory notice given by Landlord to Tenant in accordance with applicable law will suffice for the notice referred to above in this Subparagraph.

The notice periods provided in this Paragraph 22.1 are in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice periods provided by law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant shall not be in default of this Lease solely as a consequence of the filing of an involuntary bankruptcy petition against Tenant, the appointment of a receiver for Tenant, the involuntary attachment of any interest in the Lease or of Tenant’s other assets or the involuntary (as to Tenant) exercise by any third party of any other remedy with respect to Tenant, Tenant’s interest in this Lease or Tenant’s other assets, unless the petition, receiver, attachment or other remedy is not discharged within sixty (60) days.

22.2 Landlord’s Remedies for Tenant Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Tenant, Landlord shall have, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity (all of which remedies shall be distinct, separate and cumulative), the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies, each and all of which shall be cumulative and nonexclusive, without any notice or demand whatsoever.

 

34


(a) Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for possession or arrearages in rent, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim or damages therefor; and Landlord may recover from Tenant damages as provided in California Civil Code §1951.2 or any other applicable right or remedy provision allowing for recovery of damages for such breach, including but not limited to the following:

 

  (i) The worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which has been earned at the time of such termination; plus

 

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

 

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

 

  (iv) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, specifically including but not limited to, brokerage commissions and advertising expenses incurred, expenses of remodeling the Premises or any portion thereof for a new tenant, whether for the same or a different use, and any special concessions made to obtain a new tenant; and

 

  (v) At Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable law.

The term “rent” as used in this Paragraph 22.2 shall be deemed to be and to mean all sums of every nature required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, whether to Landlord or to others. As used in Paragraphs 22.2(a)(i) and 22.2(a)(ii) above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at the Interest Rate (as defined in Paragraph 33). As used in Paragraph 22.2(a)(iii) above the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).

(b) Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after lessee’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations), or any successor code section. Accordingly, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Tenant, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all rent as it becomes due. Notwithstanding Landlord’s exercise of the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 in respect of any Event of Default, at any time thereafter as Landlord may elect in writing, Landlord may terminate this Lease and Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises and recover an award of damages as provided in Paragraph 22.2(a) above.

(c) Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make any such payment or perform or otherwise cure any such obligation, provision, covenant or condition on Tenant’s part to be observed or performed (and may enter the Premises for such purposes). In the event of Tenant’s failure to perform any of its obligations or covenants under this Lease, and such failure to perform poses a material risk of injury or harm to persons or damage to or loss of property, then Landlord shall have the right to cure or otherwise perform such covenant or obligation at any time after such failure to perform by Tenant, whether or not any such notice or cure period set forth in Paragraph 22.1 above has expired. Any such actions undertaken by Landlord pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 22.2 shall not be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s rights and remedies as a result of Tenant’s failure to perform and shall not release Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease.

 

35


(d) Landlord shall at all times have the rights and remedies (which shall be cumulative with each other and cumulative and in addition to those rights and remedies available under Paragraphs 22.2(a), (b) and (c), above, or any law or other provision of this Lease), without prior demand or notice except as required by applicable law, to seek any declaratory, injunctive or other equitable relief, and specifically enforce this Lease, or restrain or enjoin a violation or breach of any provision hereof.

22.3 Payment by Tenant. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within 15 days after delivery by Landlord to Tenant of statements therefore: (i) sums equal to expenditures reasonably made and obligations incurred by Landlord in connection with Landlord’s performance or cure of any of Tenant’s obligations pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 22.2(c) above; and (ii) subject to Paragraph 33.20, sums equal to all expenditures made and obligations incurred by Landlord in collecting or attempting to collect the rent or in enforcing or attempting to enforce any rights of Landlord under this Lease or pursuant to law, including, without limitation, all legal fees and other amounts so expended. Tenant’s obligations under this Paragraph 22.3 will survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term.

22.4 Sublessees of Tenant. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, or Tenant’s right to possess the Premises, on account of any default by Tenant, as set forth in this Paragraph 22, Landlord shall have the right to terminate any and all subleases, licenses, concessions or other consensual arrangements for possession entered into by Tenant and affecting the Premises or may, in Landlord’s sole discretion, succeed to Tenant’s interest in such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements. In the event of Landlord’s election to succeed to Tenant’s interest in any such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements, Tenant shall, as of the date of notice by Landlord of such election, have no further right to or interest in the rent or other consideration receivable thereunder.

22.5 Waiver by Default. No waiver by Landlord of any violation or breach by Tenant of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained shall be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any other or later violation or breach by Tenant of the same or any other of the terms, provisions, and covenants herein contained. Forbearance by Landlord in enforcement of one or more of the remedies herein provided upon a default by Tenant shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such default. The acceptance of any rent hereunder by Landlord following the occurrence of any default, whether or not known to Landlord, shall not be deemed a waiver of any such default, except only a default in the payment of the rent so accepted.

22.6 Efforts to Relet. No re-entry or repossession, repairs, maintenance, changes, alterations and additions, reletting, appointment of a receiver to protect Landlord’s interests hereunder, or any other action or omission by Landlord shall be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, or to accept a surrender of the Premises, nor shall same operate to release Tenant in whole or in part from any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, unless express written notice of such intention is sent by Landlord to Tenant.

22.7 Tenant’s Waivers. TENANT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS CONFERRED BY SECTION 3275 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE AND BY SECTIONS 1174(c) AND 1179 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE AND ANY AND ALL OTHER LAWS, RULES AND REGULATIONS FROM TIME TO TIME IN EFFECT DURING THE LEASE TERM OR THEREAFTER PROVIDING THAT TENANT SHALL HAVE ANY RIGHT TO REDEEM, REINSTATE OR RESTORE THIS LEASE FOLLOWING ITS TERMINATION BY REASON OF TENANT’S BREACH.

22.8 Events of Landlord Default.

A. Landlord Default. Landlord will not be deemed to be in default under this Lease unless obligations required of Landlord hereunder are not performed by Landlord within 30 days after written notice thereof by Tenant to Landlord and to any lender or other lien holder with rights in all or any portion of the Building, whose names and addresses are furnished to Tenant in writing, which notice specifies that there has been a failure to perform such obligations; provided, however, that if the nature of such obligations is such that more than 30 days are reasonably required for their cure, Landlord will not be deemed to be in default hereunder if Landlord commences such cure with reasonable promptness within such 30-day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion (a “Landlord Default”). However, if Landlord fails to cure such default within the time set forth above, then subject to any provisions of the subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement with Landlord’s mortgagee to the contrary, any lender or other lien

 

36


holder with rights in all or any portion of the Property will have an additional 30 days within which to cure such default but not the obligation to do so, or if such default cannot be cured within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary if within such 30 days any such holder has commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such default, including, but not limited to, appointment of a receiver if necessary to effect such a cure.

B. Self-Help Remedy. For purposes of this Lease, a “Landlord Self-Help Default” will have occurred if:

(i) a Landlord Default occurs under Paragraph 9.3.A;

(ii) Tenant’s notice, pursuant to Paragraph 22.8.A, of a Landlord default includes a detailed description of the nature and scope of the alleged Landlord default, and states that in the event such Landlord default matures into a Landlord Default and Landlord fails to notify Tenant that Landlord in good faith disputes the existence of a default by Landlord, Tenant may elect to cure such Landlord Default via exercise of the Self-Help Remedy (hereinafter defined);

(iii) Such Landlord Default has resulted in or, if left uncorrected would be likely imminently to result in: (1) material loss or damage to property of Tenant at the Property, or injury to Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors or invitees; or (2) material interference with Tenant’s operation of its business in the Premises or access to the Premises; or (3) all or a material part of the Premises being untenantable; and

(iv) Landlord fails to notify Tenant within 30 days after the effective delivery date (pursuant to Paragraph 33.14) that Landlord, in good faith, disputes that the Landlord Default alleged by Tenant (as set forth in clause (ii) above) to have occurred under Paragraph 9.3 actually exists.

If such Landlord Self-Help Default occurs after the Commencement Date, then subject to the provisions of Paragraph 31, Tenant shall have the right to perform such repair or maintenance obligation of Landlord (the “Self-Help Remedy”), subject to the following conditions:

(i) Before or after the expiration of the applicable cure period under Paragraph 22.8.A, but before exercising the Self-Help Remedy, Tenant shall notify Landlord at least fifteen (15) days in advance (but not more than sixty (60) days in advance) in reasonable detail of the proposed Self-Help Remedy (the “Self-Help Notice”).

(ii) In exercising the Self-Help Remedy, Tenant shall: (a) perform work in a good and workmanlike manner, in a manner consistent with the class and architectural character of the Building and the Property, utilizing good grades of materials in compliance with all Regulations and insurance requirements; and (b) engage qualified licensed, experienced contractors.

(iii) Tenant may not exercise the Self-Help Remedy in a manner which would materially adversely affect the structure of the Building, the HVAC system or electrical, mechanical, plumbing or other lines or systems in the Property or the Property’s electrical circuitry.

(iv) Tenant may not exercise the Self-Help Remedy in a manner that would unreasonably disturb other tenants or occupants of the Project.

(v) If Tenant exercises the Self-Help Remedy, Tenant will, within thirty (30) days after Tenant commences such work (and monthly thereafter until such work is completed) deliver to Landlord, an invoice for the then outstanding balance of Tenant’s actual out-of-pocket reasonable costs paid or incurred in curing Landlord’s Self-Help Default accompanied by final or partial lien waivers (as applicable) for all lienable work or paid receipts (if payment was made by Tenant) for non-lienable work, and such other documentation as Landlord may reasonably require. Landlord will pay such actual out-of-pocket reasonable costs within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of such invoice and documentation. If Landlord fails to pay such amount within such time, Tenant will have the remedy set forth in Paragraph 22.8.C.

 

37


(vi) Tenant’s right to exercise the Self-Help Remedy will be suspended during the existence and continuance of any Event of Default by Tenant.

(vii) Nothing in this Paragraph 22.8.B will limit any rights or remedies available to Tenant at law or in equity with respect to a default by Landlord under this Lease.

C. Landlord Offset Right Default. A “Landlord Offset Right Default” shall mean the failure by Landlord to pay, within thirty (30) days after written notice from Tenant of failure to pay the same on the due date, either (a) any amounts required to be paid by Landlord to Tenant under Paragraph 22.8.B; or (b) the Allowance or any portion thereof pursuant to the Work Letter. If a Landlord Offset Right Default occurs: (i) Tenant will be entitled to interest on the amount in arrears for the period from the date such amount became delinquent and the date such amount is paid in full, at the Interest Rate (as defined in Paragraph 33.7); (ii) Tenant shall have any rights and remedies available at law or in equity; and (iii) Tenant will have the right to set off against amounts due from Tenant to Landlord hereunder the amount owed by Landlord (1) with respect to which Landlord has not, by the end of such 30-day period, sent a notice of dispute as set forth below in this Paragraph 22.7, or (2) the amount of any final judgment entered against Landlord in favor of Tenant for a Landlord Offset Right Default, if Landlord fails to satisfy the same when due. If Landlord, in good faith, disputes any portion of the amount Tenant alleges it is owed by Landlord, Landlord will so notify Tenant and will nevertheless pay the amount not in dispute prior to expiration of the 30-day period set forth above in this Paragraph 22.8.C. Any such amount which Tenant may elect to setoff hereunder shall be applied to payments due Landlord hereunder so as to apply such amount as soon as possible. Except as expressly set forth in this Paragraph 22.8.C, Tenant will have no right to setoff any amounts against rent due under this Lease.

 

23. PEACEFUL ENJOYMENT.

Landlord covenants that Tenant may peacefully enjoy the Premises against all persons lawfully claiming by, through or under Landlord, subject to the other terms hereof, provided that Tenant pays the rent and all other sums herein required to be paid by Tenant and performs all of Tenant’s covenants and agreements in this Lease. The foregoing covenant is in lieu of any other covenant express or implied.

 

24. RESERVED.

 

25. HOLDING OVER.

25.1 If Tenant holds over without Landlord’s written consent after expiration or other termination of this Lease, or if Tenant continues to occupy the Premises after termination of Tenant’s right of possession pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 22.2, Tenant will throughout the entire holdover period pay rent equal to:

 

  (a) during the two months of holding over: 150% of the sum of Base Rental and 100% of the rent described under Paragraph 5 that were applicable to the last month of the Lease Term; plus

 

  (b) if the period of holding over exceeds two months, then during the third and fourth months of holdover: 175% of the sum of Base Rental and 100% of the rent described under Paragraph 5 that were applicable to the last month of the Lease Term; plus

 

  (c) if the period of holding over exceeds four months, then from and after the expiration of the second month of holding over: 200% of the sum of Base Rental and 100% of the rent described under Paragraph 5 that were applicable to the last month of the Lease Term;

in each case on a per diem basis based on the actual number of holdover days, and, in addition, Tenant will pay Landlord (as additional rent) all damages sustained by reason of Tenant’s holding over. Landlord and Tenant maintain the right to terminate such tenancy at sufferance upon written notification to the other party or such lesser notice as allowed by applicable law. The provisions of this paragraph do not waive Landlord’s right of re-entry or right to regain possession by actions at law or in equity or by any other rights hereunder.

25.2 No possession by Tenant after the Expiration Date will be construed to extend the Lease Term unless Landlord has consented to such possession in writing.

26. SUBORDINATION TO MORTGAGE.

26.1 This Lease is and will be subject and subordinate to any mortgage, deed of trust or related security instrument, whether presently existing or hereafter arising upon the Premises or upon the Building and to any renewals, modifications, refinancing or extensions thereof, but Tenant agrees that the holder of any such instrument will have the right to subordinate such instrument to this Lease on such terms and subject to such conditions as such holder may deem appropriate in its discretion. The foregoing subordination of this Lease to any mortgage, deed of trust or related security instrument will be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination is required; provided, however, such subordination with respect to any mortgage, deed of trust or related security instrument first placed upon or recorded against the Premises or the Building as a whole after the date of this Lease will be conditioned upon the holder thereof executing a subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement on the lender’s standard form, which will not be materially more onerous on Tenant than the form attached hereto as Exhibit H. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days of request by Landlord, execute such further instruments or assurances as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary to evidence or confirm the subordination or superiority of this Lease to any mortgage, deed of trust or related security instrument.

26.2 Landlord is hereby irrevocably vested with full power and authority to subordinate this Lease to any mortgage, deed of trust or related security instrument now existing or hereafter placed upon the Premises or the Building as a whole, and Tenant agrees upon demand to execute such further instruments subordinating the Lease or attorning to holder of any such lien as Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from the holder of any such security instrument the holder’s agreement not to disturb Tenant’s occupancy in accordance with this Lease so long as Tenant fulfills all of its obligations under this Lease. Any such nondisturbance agreement from the holder of the existing mortgage against the Building will be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H, and any such nondisturbance agreement in connection with a security instrument encumbering the Building in the future will be on the lender’s standard form, which will not be materially more onerous on Tenant than the form attached hereto as Exhibit H.

26.3 Intentionally Deleted.

26.4 Tenant will, in the event of the sale or assignment of Landlord’s interest in the Building or in the event of any proceedings brought for the foreclosure of, or in the event of exercise of the power of sale under, or taking by deed in lieu of foreclosure of, any mortgage, deed of trust or related instrument made by Landlord covering the Premises, at the election of the party acquiring title to the Building, give full and complete attornment to the purchaser and recognize the purchaser as Landlord under this Lease for the balance of the Lease Term, including any extensions or renewals thereof. Tenant waives the provisions of any current or future statute, rule or law which may give or purport to give Tenant any right or election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of the Tenant hereunder in the event of any foreclosure proceeding or sale.

26.5 In the event of any proceedings brought for the foreclosure of, or in the event of exercise of the power of sale under, or taking by deed in lieu of foreclosure of, any mortgage, deed of trust or related instrument made by Landlord covering the Premises, the party acquiring title to the Building shall not be liable for (a) any security deposit except to the extent delivered to such party, (b) any rent paid more than one month in advance unless received by such party, (c) any amendment or modification to this Lease which has not been consented to in writing by such party, and (d) any claims or offsets against the Landlord which have accrued prior to such party acquiring title to the Building except to the extent the defaults by Landlord under this Lease giving rise to such claims or offsets continue after such foreclosure or other conveyance of the Premises.

26.6 As used elsewhere in this Lease, the term “mortgage” shall include a deed of trust or related security instrument, and the term “mortgagee” shall include the beneficiary under a deed of trust or related security instrument.

 

27. ESTOPPEL.

Tenant will, at the request of Landlord, at any time and from time to time upon not less than 10 days’ prior notice, execute, acknowledge in recordable form, and deliver to Landlord or to Landlord’s mortgagee, lessor under any ground lease, auditors or a prospective purchaser of the Project or any part thereof, a

 

39


certificate stating the following, as requested: (a) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect); (b) the date the Lease commenced and the rent commencement date (if different); (c) whether Tenant has any options to renew or extend the Lease Term or any options, rights of first refusal or rights of first offer to expand the Premises or to purchase the Project and whether Tenant has exercised any of those options; (d) whether Tenant has accepted and is now in full possession of the Premises, and whether Tenant has assigned the Lease, sublet all or any portion of the Premises, or otherwise transferred any interest in the Lease or the Premises; Tenant agrees to provide a copy of such assignment, sublease or transfer upon request; (e) the current monthly installments of Base Rental and Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses, the dates to which such rental and other charges have been paid, and that no such rent has been paid for more than 30 days in advance of its due date; (f) whether Tenant is currently receiving any rental concessions, rebates or abatements and, if so, the terms of such concession, rebate or abatement, including, without limitation, the date when such concession, rebate or abatement will expire; (g) whether Tenant is entitled to any future rent concessions, rebates or abatements under the Lease and, if so, the terms of the future concessions, rebates or abatements; (h) the amount of the Security Deposit paid to Landlord; (i) whether Tenant has received any notice of prior sale, transfer assignment, hypothecation or pledge of the Lease or of the rents payable thereunder; (j) that, to Tenant’s knowledge, all alterations, improvements, additions, build-outs or construction required to be performed under the Lease have been completed and any required allowances have been paid (or if not completed or paid, stating the nature of the deficiencies); (k) that Tenant is paying rent on a current basis with no offsets or claims, and there are not, to Tenant’s knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord or of Tenant as is pertinent to the request (or specifying such offsets, claims or defaults, if any are claimed); and (l) such other matters as may be reasonably requested. It is expressly understood and agreed that any such statement may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or mortgagee of all or any portion of the real property of which the Premises are a part or by any other person to whom it is delivered. The failure to deliver such statement within such time will be conclusive upon Tenant that this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord, there are no uncured defaults by Landlord and that not more than one month’s rental has been paid in advance and Tenant will be estopped from asserting any defaults known to it at that time.

 

28. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED (LANDLORD’S LIEN).

 

29. ELECTRONIC SERVICES.

29.1 Tenant’s Lines. Tenant may, in a manner consistent with the provisions and requirements of this Lease, install, maintain, replace, remove or use any communications or computer or other electronic service wires, cables and related devices (collectively the “Lines”) at the Building in or serving the Premises, provided: (a) Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (b) if Tenant at any time uses any equipment that may create an electromagnetic field exceeding the normal insulation ratings of ordinary twisted pair riser cable or cause radiation higher than normal background radiation, the Lines therefor (including riser cables) shall be appropriately insulated to prevent such excessive electromagnetic fields or radiation, and (c) Tenant shall pay all costs in connection therewith. Landlord reserves the right to require that Tenant remove any Lines that are installed in violation of these provisions. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, grant to any third party a security interest or lien in or on the Lines, and any such security interest or lien granted without Landlord’s written consent shall be null and void.

If Tenant desires to run fiber optic or other cable from the street to the Premises in the Building, Landlord will reasonably cooperate with Tenant, on mutually acceptable terms and without payment of any Rent or other amounts to Landlord other than reimbursement of Landlord’s actual costs, to enable Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, to perform such installation. The provisions of Paragraphs 10.3 and 29.7 will apply to such installation, excluding any provisions thereof that are not applicable to such work, and in connection therewith Landlord will have the right to approve the plans and specifications for such work prior to the commencement of such work, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

If Tenant leases any Additional Space (as defined in Paragraph 36) under a direct lease from Landlord or otherwise occupies other premises in the Project, Landlord will reasonably cooperate with Tenant, on mutually acceptable terms, to enable Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, to link Tenant’s telecommunications equipment in the Building with Tenant’s telecommunications equipment in the building in which such additional premises are located. Such terms will include the following: (1) in installing such linkage, Tenant must use

 

40


commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with parking (at both the Building and the building containing the Additional Premises), including performing the installation promptly and not during normal business hours to the extent feasible; (2) the provisions of Paragraphs 10.3 and 29.7 will apply to such installation, excluding any provisions thereof that are not applicable to such work, and in connection therewith Landlord will have the right to approve the plans and specifications for such work prior to the commencement of such work, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (3) if the parking at the building containing the additional premises is overcrowded during such installation, and if such installation temporarily renders one or more parking spaces inaccessible or unusable, Tenant will, at Landlord’s request, permit other tenants at such other building to park in an equal number of parking spaces in the Building’s parking area, and during such time Tenant’s parking allocation in the Building’s parking area will be reduced by the same number so as to accommodate the number of tenants utilizing parking at the building containing the Additional Premises; and (4) such installation must not take up any parking space or spaces or reduce the number of parking spaces at the building containing the Additional Premises (or the Building), except temporarily during the installation. Tenant shall not be required to remove such conduit(s), but will be required to remove the wiring and cabling contained therein.

29.2 Definition of Electronic Services. As used herein “Electronic Services Provider” means a business which provides telephone, telegraph, telex, video, other telecommunications or other services which permit Tenant to receive or transmit information by the use of electronics and which require the use of wires, cables, antennas or similar devices in or on the Building. The services of Electronic Services Providers are sometimes referred to herein as “Electronic Services.”

29.3 No Right to Specific Services. Landlord shall have no obligation (i) to install any Electronic Services equipment or facilities, (ii) to make available to Tenant the services of any particular Electronic Services Provider, or (iii) to allow any particular Electronic Services Provider access to the Building. Landlord may (but shall not have the obligation to): (x) install new Lines at the property, (y) create additional space for Lines at the property, and (z) adopt reasonable and uniform rules and regulations with respect to Lines so long as the same do not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises or Tenant’s parking rights or unreasonably increase the obligations or decrease the rights of Tenant under this Lease.

29.4 Limitation of Landlord’s Responsibility. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that all Electronic Services desired by Tenant shall be ordered and utilized at the sole expense of Tenant. Unless Landlord otherwise requests or consents in writing, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, all of Tenant’s Electronic Services equipment shall be and remain solely in the Tenant’s premises and the telephone closet(s) on the floor(s) on which the Tenant’s premises is located, in accordance with rules and regulations reasonably adopted by Landlord from time to time. Unless otherwise specifically agreed to in writing, Landlord shall have no responsibility for the maintenance of Tenant’s Electronic Services equipment, including Lines; nor for any Lines or other infrastructure to which Tenant’s Electronic Services equipment may be connected. Tenant agrees that, to the extent any Electronic Services are interrupted, curtailed or discontinued, Landlord shall have no obligation or liability with respect thereto and it shall be the sole obligation of Tenant at its own expense to obtain substitute service. Except to the extent arising from the grossly negligent acts or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s agents or employees, Landlord shall have no liability for damages arising from, and Landlord does not warrant that Tenant’s use of any Lines will be free from the following (collectively called “Line Problems”) (x) any eavesdropping or wire-tapping by unauthorized parties, or (y) any failure of any Lines to satisfy Tenant’s requirements. Under no circumstances shall any Line Problems be deemed an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant, render Landlord liable to Tenant for abatement of Rent, or relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Landlord in no event shall be liable for damages by reason of loss of profits, business interruption or other consequential damage arising from any Line Problems.

29.5 Necessary Service Interruptions. Landlord shall have the right, upon reasonable prior notice to Tenant, to interrupt or turn off Electronic Services facilities in the event of emergency or as necessary in connection with maintenance or repairs at the Building or on account of violation by the Electronic Services Provider or owner of the Electronic Services equipment of any obligation to Landlord. Landlord will give reasonable prior notice to Tenant in the event of Landlord’s scheduled service interruptions for Electronic Services and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to schedule such interruptions at a time reasonably acceptable to Tenant.

29.6 Removal of Equipment, Wiring and Other Facilities. Except for conduits, any and all Electronic

 

41


Services equipment installed in the Tenant’s Premises or elsewhere in the Building by or on behalf of Tenant, including Lines, or other facilities for Electronic Services reception or transmittal, shall be removed prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease term, by Tenant at its sole cost; if Tenant fails to do so, then Landlord may, at Landlord’s election, elect to perform such removal at Tenant’s sole cost, with the cost thereof to be paid as additional rent. Landlord shall have the right, however, upon written notice to Tenant given no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease term (except that the notice period shall extend to thirty (30) days beyond the date of termination of the Lease if it is terminated by either party due to a default by the other), to require Tenant to abandon and leave in place, without additional payment to Tenant or credit against rent, any and all Electronic Services Lines, and related infrastructure, or selected components thereof, whether located in the Tenant’s premises or elsewhere in the Building.

29.7 New Provider Installations. In the event that Tenant wishes at any time to utilize the services of an Electronic Services Provider whose equipment is not then servicing the Building, no such Electronic Services Provider shall be permitted to install its Lines or other equipment within the Building without first securing the prior written approval of the Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Landlord’s approval shall not be deemed any kind of warranty or representation by Landlord, including, without limitation, any warranty or representation as to the suitability, competence, or financial strength of the Electronic Services Provider. Without limitation of the foregoing standard, unless all of the following conditions are satisfied to Landlord’s satisfaction, it shall be reasonable for Landlord to refuse to give its approval: (i) Landlord shall incur no current expense or risk or future expense whatsoever with respect to any aspect of the Electronic Services Provider’s provision of its Electronic Services, including without limitation, the costs of installation, materials and services; (ii) prior to commencement of any work in or about the Building by the Electronic Services Provider, the Electronic Services Provider shall supply Landlord with such written indemnities, insurance, financial statements, and such other items as Landlord reasonably determines to be necessary to protect its financial interests and the interests of the Building relating to the proposed activities of the Electronic Services Provider; (iii) the Electronic Services Provider agrees to abide by such rules and regulations, Building and other codes, job site rules and such other requirements as are reasonably determined by Landlord to be necessary to protect the interests of the Building, in the same or similar manner as Landlord has the right to protect itself and the Building with respect to proposed alterations as described in Paragraph 10 of this Lease; (iv) Landlord reasonably determines that, considering other potential uses for space in the Building, there is sufficient space in the Building for the placement of all of the provider’s equipment, conduit, Lines and other materials; (v) the Electronic Services Provider agrees to abide by Landlord’s requirements, if any, that provider use existing Building conduits and pipes or use Building contractors (or other contractors approved by Landlord, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (vi) the provider agrees to deliver to Landlord detailed “as built” plans immediately after the installation of the provider’s equipment is complete; and (vii) all of the foregoing matters are documented in a written license agreement between Landlord and the provider, the form and content of which is reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.

29.8 Limit of Default or Breach. Notwithstanding any provision of the proceeding paragraphs to the contrary, the refusal of Landlord to grant its approval to any prospective Electronic Services Provider shall not be deemed a default or breach by Landlord of its obligation under this Lease unless and until Landlord is adjudicated to have acted unreasonably with respect to Tenant’s request for approval, and in that event, Tenant shall still have no right to terminate the Lease or claim an entitlement to rent abatement, but may as Tenant’s sole and exclusive recourse seek a judicial order of specific performance compelling Landlord to grant its approval as to the prospective provider in question. The provisions of this paragraph may be enforced solely by Tenant and Landlord, are not for the benefit of any other party, and specifically but without limitation, no telephone or other Electronic Services Provider shall be deemed a third party beneficiary of this Lease.

29.9 Installation and Use of Wireless Technologies. Tenant shall not utilize any wireless Electronic Services equipment (other than usual and customary cellular telephones), including antennae and satellite receiver dishes, within the Tenant’s premises, within the Building or attached to the outside walls or roof of the Building, without Landlord’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld.

29.10 Limitation of Liability For Equipment Interference. In the event that Electronic Services equipment, Lines and facilities or satellite and antennae equipment of any type installed by or at the request of Tenant within the Tenant’s premises, on the roof, or elsewhere within or on the Building causes interference to equipment used by another party, Tenant shall cease using such equipment, Lines and facilities or satellite and antennae equipment until the source of the interference is identified and eliminated and Tenant shall assume all liability related to such interference. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord and other parties, to eliminate such

 

42


interference promptly. In the event that Tenant is unable to do so, Tenant will substitute alternative equipment which remedies the situation. If such interference persists, Tenant shall, at Landlord’s sole discretion, remove such equipment.

 

30. NO IMPLIED WAIVER.

30.1 The failure of Landlord to insist at any time upon the strict performance of any covenant or agreement or to exercise any option, right, power or remedy contained in this Lease will not be construed as a waiver or a relinquishment thereof for the future. Any default in the timely payment of rent will not be construed as creating a custom of deferring payment or as modifying in any way the terms of this Lease. No act or thing done by Landlord, its agents or employees during the Lease Term will be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept a surrender of the Premises will be valid, unless in writing signed by Landlord. The delivery of keys to any of Landlord’s agents or employees will not operate as a termination of this Lease or a surrender of the Premises.

30.2 No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the rent due under this Lease will be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest rent due, nor will 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 in this Lease.

 

31. PERSONAL LIABILITY.

The liability of Landlord to Tenant for any default by Landlord under this Lease will be limited to the interest of Landlord in the Project (including condemnation awards, property insurance proceeds, and sale proceeds, and including rents received by Landlord from the Project after the date of a judgment in favor of Tenant and against Landlord, but before payment of such judgment in full), and Tenant agrees to look solely to Landlord’s interest in the Project as aforesaid, for the recovery of any judgment against Landlord, it being intended that neither Landlord, nor any officer, director, shareholder, partner or member of Landlord, shall have any individual or personal liability whatsoever with respect to this Lease. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the contrary, in no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any lost profits, damage to business, or any form of special, indirect or consequential damage on account of any default or breach by Landlord under this Lease or otherwise.

 

32. SECURITY DEPOSIT.

32.1 The Security Deposit set forth in the Schedule is due from Tenant upon Tenant’s execution and delivery of this Lease, and will be held by Landlord without liability for interest and as security for the performance by Tenant of Tenant’s covenants and obligations under this Lease, it being expressly understood that the Security Deposit will not be considered an advance payment of rental or a measure of Tenant’s damages in case of default by Tenant. In the alternative, Tenant may substitute for the cash Security Deposit a letter of credit pursuant to Paragraph 34.

32.2 Landlord may, from time to time without prejudice to any other remedy, use the Security Deposit to the extent necessary to make good any arrearages of rent or to satisfy any other covenant or obligation of Tenant hereunder. Following any such application of the Security Deposit, Tenant will pay to Landlord on demand the amount so applied in order to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount.

32.3 If Tenant is not in default at the termination of this Lease and has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Lease, the balance of the Security Deposit remaining after any such application will be returned by Landlord to Tenant.

32.4 If Landlord transfers its interest in the Premises during the Lease Term, Landlord may assign the Security Deposit to the transferee and thereafter Landlord will have no further liability for the return of such Security Deposit.

32.5 Landlord may apply such portion or portions of the Security Deposit as are reasonably necessary for the following purposes: (i) to remedy any default by Tenant in the payment of rent or a late charge or interest on defaulted rent, or any other monetary payment obligation of Tenant under this Lease; (ii) to repair

 

43


damage to the Premises or the Building caused or permitted to occur by Tenant; (iii) to clean and restore and repair the Premises or the Building following their surrender to Landlord if not surrendered in the condition required pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, (iv) to remedy any other default of Tenant to the extent permitted by applicable laws including, without limitation, paying in full on Tenant’s behalf any sums claimed by materialmen or contractors of Tenant to be owing to them by Tenant for work done or improvements made at Tenant’s request to the Premises, and (v) any and all rent and other amounts to which Landlord may be entitled pursuant to Paragraph 22.2(a) of this Lease, including, without limitation, such rent and other amounts to which Landlord may be entitled under California Civil Code Section 1951.2. In this regard, Tenant hereby waives any restriction on the uses to which the Security Deposit may be applied as contained in Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code or any similar or successor laws now or hereafter in effect, that restrict Landlord’s use or application of the Security Deposit, or that provide specific time periods for return of the Security Deposit. Landlord shall not be deemed a trustee of the Security Deposit. Landlord shall not be required to segregate the Security Deposit from Landlord’s general accounts. Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest on the Security Deposit.

 

33. MISCELLANEOUS.

33.1 Severability. If any term or provision of this Lease, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is, to any extent, invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, will not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Lease will be valid and enforced to the fullest extent of law.

33.2 Recordation. Tenant agrees not to record this Lease or any memorandum hereof but Landlord may record this Lease or a memorandum thereof, at its sole election. Upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant will, promptly upon Landlord’s written request, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a recordable deed quit-claiming to Landlord all interest of Tenant in the Premises, the Project and this Lease.

33.3 Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Lease and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto are governed by the laws of the State of California. In any action or proceeding arising herefrom, Landlord and Tenant hereby consent to the jurisdiction of any competent court within the State of California and service of process by any means authorized by California law. In the event Landlord commences any summary proceedings or action for nonpayment of rent, Tenant shall not interpose any counterclaim of any nature or description (unless such counterclaim shall be mandatory) in any such proceeding or action, but shall be relegated to an independent action at law. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS LEASE. IF THE JURY WAIVER PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH 33.3 ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW, THEN THE FOLLOWING PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH 33.3 SHALL APPLY. It is the desire and intention of the parties to agree upon a mechanism and procedure under which controversies and disputes arising out of this Lease or related to the Premises will be resolved in a prompt and expeditious manner. Accordingly, except with respect to actions for unlawful or forcible detainer or with respect to the prejudgment remedy of attachment, any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either party hereto against the other (and/or against its officers, directors, employees, agents or subsidiaries or affiliated entities) on any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises and/or any claim of injury or damage, whether sounding in contract, tort, or otherwise, shall be heard and resolved by a referee under the provisions of the California Code of Civil Procedure, Sections 638-645.1, inclusive (as same may be amended, or any successor statute(s) thereto) (collectively, the “Referee Sections”). Any fee to initiate the judicial reference proceedings and all fees charged and costs incurred by the referee shall be paid by the party initiating such procedure (except that if a reporter is requested by either party, then a reporter shall be present at all proceedings where requested and the fees of such reporter, except for copies ordered by the other parties, shall be borne by the party requesting the reporter); provided however, that allocation of the costs and fees, including any initiation fee, of such proceeding shall be ultimately determined in accordance with Paragraph 33.20 below. The venue of the proceedings shall be in the county in which the Premises are located. Within ten (10) days of receipt by any party of a written request to resolve any dispute or controversy pursuant to this Paragraph 33.3, the parties shall agree upon a single referee who shall try all issues, whether of fact or law, and report a finding and judgment on such issues as required by the Referee Sections. If the parties are unable to agree upon a referee within such ten (10) day period, then any party may thereafter file a lawsuit in the county in which the Premises are located for the purpose of appointment of a referee under the Referee Sections. If the referee is appointed

 

44


by the court, the referee shall be a neutral and impartial retired judge with substantial experience in the relevant matters to be determined, from Jams/Endispute, Inc., the American Arbitration Association or similar mediation/arbitration entity. The proposed referee may be challenged by any party for any of the grounds listed in the Referee Sections. The referee shall have the power to decide all issues of fact and law and report his or her decision on such issues, and to issue all recognized remedies available at law or in equity for any cause of action that is before the referee, including an award of attorneys’ fees and costs in accordance with this Lease. The referee shall not, however, have the power to award punitive damages, nor any other damages which are not permitted by the express provisions of this Lease, and the parties hereby waive any right to recover any such damages. The parties shall be entitled to conduct all discovery as provided in the California Code of Civil Procedure, and the referee shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery orders in the same manner as any trial court judge, with rights to regulate discovery and to issue and enforce subpoenas, protective orders and other limitations on discovery available under California law. The reference proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with California law (including the rules of evidence), and in all regards, the referee shall follow California law applicable at the time of the reference proceeding. The parties shall promptly and diligently cooperate with one another and the referee, and shall perform such acts as may be necessary to obtain a prompt and expeditious resolution of the dispute or controversy in accordance with the terms of this Paragraph 33.3. In this regard, the parties agree that the parties and the referee shall use best efforts to ensure that (i) discovery be conducted for a period no longer than six (6) months from the date the referee is appointed, excluding motions regarding discovery, and (ii) a trial date be set within nine (9) months of the date the referee is appointed. In accordance with Section 644 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, the decision of the referee upon the whole issue must stand as the decision of the court, and upon the filing of the statement of decision with the clerk of the court, or with the judge if there is no clerk, judgment may be entered thereon in the same manner as if the action had been tried by the court. Any decision of the referee and/or judgment or other order entered thereon shall be appealable to the same extent and in the same manner that such decision, judgment, or order would be appealable if rendered by a judge of the superior court in which venue is proper hereunder. The referee shall in his/her statement of decision set forth his/her findings of fact and conclusions of law. The parties intend this general reference agreement to be specifically enforceable in accordance with the California Code of Civil Procedure. Nothing in this Paragraph 33.3 shall prejudice the right of any party to obtain provisional relief or other equitable remedies from a court of competent jurisdiction as shall otherwise be available under the California Code of Civil Procedure and/or applicable court rules.

33.4 Time of Performance. Except as expressly otherwise herein provided, with respect to all required acts of Tenant, time is of the essence of this Lease.

33.5 Transfers by Landlord. Landlord will have the right to transfer and assign, in whole or in part, all its rights and obligations hereunder and in the Project and the Premises referred to herein, and in such event and upon such transfer and written assumption by such transferee of all Landlord’s obligations hereunder Landlord will be released from any further obligations hereunder, and Tenant agrees to look solely to such successor in interest of Landlord for the performance of such obligations accruing after such transfer. Subject to the foregoing, the covenants of the Landlord will be binding upon Landlord and its successors only with respect to breaches occurring during its or their respective periods of ownership of the Landlord’s interest hereunder.

33.6 Real Estate Broker; Commissions. Each party hereto hereby represents and warrants to the other that in connection with the leasing of the Premises hereunder, the party so representing and warranting has not dealt with any real estate broker, agent or finder, except for CB Richard Ellis and the broker (if any) listed in the Schedule (collectively, the “Broker”), and, to its knowledge no other broker initiated or participated in the negotiation of this Lease, submitted or showed the Premises to Tenant or is entitled to any commission in connection with this Lease. Landlord will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Tenant against any and all claims, costs, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with any inaccuracy in Landlord’s representation in this Paragraph 33.6, and Tenant will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord and the holder of any mortgage on the Building, against any and all claims, costs, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with any inaccuracy in Tenant’s representation in this Paragraph 33.6. Landlord hereby agrees that it will pay any commissions due to the Broker according to their separate agreements with Landlord.

33.7 Late Payment of Rent. No receipt of money by Landlord from Tenant after termination of this Lease or after the service of any notice or after the commencement of any suit, or after final judgment for possession of the Premises, will reinstate, continue, or extend, the Lease Term or affect any such notice,

 

45


demand or suit. Any payment of rent not made when due will, at Landlord’s option, bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum (or the highest rate of interest permitted under California law, whichever is lower) from the due date until paid (the “Interest Rate”). Additionally, any payment of rent not paid within 10 days of the date due will be subject to a late payment charge, for each occurrence, equal to 5% of the amount overdue and payable. Such late charge will be in addition to the interest provided for above and will be due and payable with the next succeeding rent payment. However, Landlord will waive such interest and such late payment charge up to twice in any calendar year during the Lease Term if the payment owed is paid in full within 5 days after Landlord gives written notice that such payment is delinquent. This late payment charge is intended to compensate Landlord for the additional administrative costs resulting from Tenant’s failure to timely pay the rent and has been agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant after negotiation as a reasonable estimate of the additional administrative costs incurred by Landlord as a result of Tenant’s failure to timely pay the rent. Such interest and late charge will constitute additional rent. The covenants to pay rent under this Lease are independent of any other covenant.

33.8 Use of Lock Box By Landlord. Landlord may from time to time elect to designate a lock box collection agent (independent agent, bank or other financial institution) to act as Landlord’s agent for the collection of amounts due Landlord. In such event the date of payment of rent or other sums paid Landlord through such agent will be the date of agent’s receipt of such payment (or the date of collection of any such sum if payment is made in the form of a negotiable instrument thereafter dishonored upon presentment); however, for purposes of this Lease, no such payment or collection will be deemed “accepted” by Landlord if Landlord issues a check payable to the order of the Tenant in the amount sent to the lock box and if Landlord mails the check to the Tenant addressed to the place designated in this lease for notice to Tenant within 21 days after the amount sent by the Tenant is received by the lock box collection agent or if the Landlord returns a dishonored instrument within 21 days of its dishonor; provided, however, that Landlord will not invoke such right to deliver a check to Tenant in the amount sent by Tenant so as to deem Tenant’s payment to Landlord’s lockbox agent not to have been accepted by Landlord unless an Event of Default then exists. Return of any such sum to Tenant by so sending such a check of the Landlord or by so sending a dishonored instrument to the Tenant within the appropriate 21-day period will be deemed to be rejection of Tenant’s tender of such payment for all purposes as of the date of Landlord’s lock box collection agent’s receipt of such payment (or collection). The return of Tenant’s payment in the manner described in this paragraph will be deemed not to be a waiver of any breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease nor a waiver of any of Landlord’s rights or remedies granted in this Lease. The possession of Tenant’s funds or negotiation of Tenant’s negotiable instrument by Landlord’s agent or Landlord during the applicable 21 day period will be deemed not to be a waiver of any defaults of Tenant or any rights of Landlord theretofore accrued nor shall any such possession or negotiation be considered an acceptance of Tenant’s tender.

33.9 Reserved.

Landlord may grant easements on the Project and dedicate for public use portions of the Project without Tenant’s consent; provided that no such grant or dedication shall materially interfere with Tenant’s permitted use of the Premises as set forth in Paragraph 3 or Tenant’s parking rights or materially increase Tenant’s costs. Upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord reasonable documents, instruments, maps and plats necessary to effectuate Tenant’s covenants in this Paragraph.

33.24 Financial Statements.

Subject to the limitation set forth above, Landlord will not request financial statements more than once in each consecutive 6-month period during the Lease Term unless (i) Tenant is in default beyond any applicable notice and cure periods; (ii) Landlord reasonably believes that there has been a material adverse change in Tenant’s financial position since the last financial statement provided to Landlord; or (iii) requested (a) in connection with a proposed sale or transfer of the Building or Project by Landlord, or (b) by an investor of Landlord or any lender or proposed lender of Landlord.

 

34. LETTER OF CREDIT.

34.1 At Tenant’s election, in lieu of the cash security deposit in the amount of the required Security Deposit as set forth in the Schedule on page 1 of this Lease, Tenant will deliver to Landlord contemporaneously with Tenant’s execution and delivery of this Lease an irrevocable letter of credit payable in San Jose, California, Miami, Florida; Naples, Florida; New York, New York; Chicago, Illinois; Santa Clara, California; or Scranton, Pennsylvania, in the amount of the required Security Deposit set forth in the Schedule on page 1 of this Lease, issued for the benefit of the Landlord by a bank reasonably satisfactory to Landlord (the “Issuing Bank”) which: (i) has an A.M. Best Bank Deposit Rating of “a” or better; (ii) has a Standard & Poors Bank Survivability Assessment Rating of “A” or better; and (iii) has a Moody’s Bank Financial Strength Rating of” B+” or better, in each case without qualification by “-” or other reduction or negative qualification of such rating); and (iv) has combined capital, surplus and undivided profits of not less than $500 million; provided, however, that Landlord approves Silicon Valley Bank as the Issuing Bank so long as it maintains a rating of at least *** (3 stars) at Bankrate.com (collectively, the “L/C Issuer Requirements”). Notwithstanding that the Issuing Bank may have met the L/C Issuer Requirements upon issuance of the letter of credit, if, during the Lease Term, the Issuing Bank fails to meet the L/C Issuer Requirements, or if the Issuing Bank enters into any form of regulatory or governmental receivership or other similar regulatory or governmental proceeding including, without limitation, any receivership instituted or commenced by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or is otherwise declared insolvent or downgraded by the FDIC or put on an FDIC “watchlist,”, then Tenant shall within 10 business days after written notice from Landlord deliver to Landlord a replacement letter of credit which meets the requirements of this Paragraph 34 and issued by an Issuing Bank meeting the L/C Issuer Requirements; Tenant’s failure to do so will, notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, constitute an Event of Default for which there will be no notice or grace or cure period applicable thereto (other than the aforesaid 10-day period), and will give Landlord the immediate right, without further notice to Tenant, to draw upon such letter of credit. If Tenant replaces such letter of credit pursuant to the foregoing, Landlord will, within 30 days after Landlord’s receipt of the replacement letter of credit, deliver to Tenant the letter of credit so replaced. Each letter of credit will be irrevocable for the term of such letter of credit and will provide that it is automatically renewable for a period ending not earlier than 60 days after the expiration of the Lease Term (the “Final L/C Expiration Date”) without any action whatsoever on the part of Landlord. However, the Issuing Bank will have the right not to renew said letter of credit on written notice to Landlord given not less than 60 days before the expiration of the then current term thereof (it being understood, however, that the privilege of the Issuing Bank not to renew said letter of credit will not, in any event, diminish the obligation of Tenant to maintain such irrevocable letter of credit with Landlord through the date which is sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Lease Term). Tenant must be the applicant of the letter of credit.

34.2 The letter of credit must be issued by a bank satisfactory to Landlord, must be in the form of Exhibit G, and must provide, among other things, in effect that:

(a) Landlord, or its then managing agent, will have the right to draw down an amount up to the face amount of the letter of credit upon the presentation to the Issuing Bank of Landlord’s sight draft;

 

49


(b) The letter of credit will be honored by the Issuing Bank within 1 business day after;

(c) In the event of a transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Building, Landlord will have the right to transfer the letter of credit to the transferee without the payment of any transfer fees, and thereupon the Landlord will, without any further agreement between the parties, be released by Tenant from all liability therefor, and it is agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment of said letter of credit to a new Landlord; and

(d) If the expiration date of the letter of credit is a day on which the issuer’s offices are closed, the expiration date shall automatically be extended pursuant to Section 3.13 or Section 3.14 of International Standby Practices ISP98 (International Chamber of Commerce Publication no. 590).

34.3 Landlord may draw upon the letter of credit at any time and from time to time if:

(a) Tenant has failed to fulfill one or more of its obligations under this Lease; or

(b) the letter of credit held by Landlord will expire earlier than the Final L/C Expiration Date (whether by reason of a stated expiration date or a notice of termination or non-renewal given by the Issuing Bank), and Tenant fails to deliver to Landlord, at least 30 days prior to the expiration date of the letter of credit then held by Landlord, a renewal or substitute letter of credit that is in effect and that complies with the requirements of this Paragraph 34.

If, as a result of any such application of all or any part of such security, the amount secured by the letter of credit is less than the amount of the required Security Deposit as set forth in the Schedule on page 1 of this Lease, Tenant will forthwith provide Landlord with additional letter(s) of credit in an amount equal to the deficiency.

34.4 Tenant further covenants that it will not assign or encumber said letter of credit or any part thereof and that neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns will be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance.

34.5 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the letter of credit expires earlier than 60 days after the expiration of the Lease Term, or the Issuing Bank notifies Landlord that it will not renew the letter of credit, Landlord will accept a renewal thereof or substitute letter of credit (such renewal or substitute letter of credit to be in effect not later than 30 days prior to the expiration thereof), irrevocable and automatically renewable as above provided to the Final L/C Expiration Date upon the same terms as the expiring letter of credit or such other terms as may be acceptable to Landlord. However, if the letter of credit is not timely renewed or a substitute letter of credit is not timely received, Landlord may present such letter of credit to the bank, in accordance with the terms of Paragraph 34.3, and the entire sum secured thereby will be paid to Landlord, to be held by Landlord as provided in this Paragraph 34 and as provided in Paragraph 32 above. If Tenant fails to maintain the letter of credit in the amount and terms set forth in this Paragraph 32, Tenant must immediately deposit with Landlord a replacement letter of credit complying with the requirements of this Paragraph 34, failing which the Landlord may present such letter of credit to the bank, in accordance with the terms of this Paragraph 34, and the entire sum secured thereby will be paid to Landlord, to be held by Landlord as provided in this Paragraph 34 and as provided in Paragraph 32 above. In the event that Landlord draws upon the letter of credit solely due to Tenant’s failure to renew the letter of credit at least thirty (30) days before its expiration or provide a replacement letter of credit as required herein (i) such failure to renew shall not constitute a default hereunder and (ii) Tenant shall at any time thereafter be entitled to provide Landlord with a replacement letter of credit that satisfies the requirements hereunder, at which time Landlord shall return the unapplied portion (if any) of the cash proceeds of the original Letter of Credit drawn by Landlord.

 

35. OPTION TO RENEW.

Subject to the provisions set forth below, the Lease Term may be renewed, at the option of Tenant (the “Renewal Option”), for one (1) additional period of 60 months (the “Renewal Term”). The Renewal Term will be upon the same terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease, except (i) the rent abatement rights set forth in Paragraph 1.1 and leasehold improvement allowances granted under this Lease will not apply to the Renewal Term; (ii) Paragraph 37 (Right of First Offer) will not apply during the Renewal Term; (iii) the Work

 

50


Letter attached hereto will not apply to the Renewal Term; and (iv) the Base Rental due for such Renewal Term will be as set forth in this Paragraph. Any reference in the Lease to the “Lease Term” will be deemed to include the Renewal Term and apply thereto, unless it is expressly provided otherwise. Tenant will have no renewal option beyond the aforesaid 60-month period.

(a) The Base Rental during the Renewal Term for the Premises will be at a rate equal to the then Fair Market Rent (as defined in Exhibit J-1), and for a term equal or comparable to the Renewal Term. Tenant’s obligation to pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Excess Operating Expenses will continue during the Renewal Term; provided, however, during the Renewal Term, Operating Expenses will not include the amortization of any capital expenditures incurred in the initial Lease Term.

(b) If Tenant exercises the Renewal Option, Landlord will grant to Tenant a leasehold improvement allowance equal to the Fair Market Allowance (as defined in Exhibit J-1), which Tenant may apply toward Tenant’s leasehold improvements (upon which Landlord and Tenant must mutually agree) to the Premises. All costs of such leasehold improvements in excess of such allowance will be borne by Tenant. Such leasehold improvements will be performed by Tenant, and such allowance will be disbursed by Landlord, subject and pursuant to a work letter under which Tenant performs the work using an allowance, which work letter will be prepared by Landlord and substantially the same as the Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit D. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Paragraph, Tenant will be deemed to have accepted the renewed Premises in “as-is” condition as of the commencement of the Renewal Term (except that Landlord’s ongoing repair and maintenance obligations as expressly set forth in this Lease will continue during the Renewal Term), and except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Paragraph, Landlord will have no additional obligation to improve, renovate or remodel the Premises or any portion of the Building or provide any allowance therefor as a result of Tenant’s exercise of its option to renew. Landlord’s obligation to replace the roof as set forth in the last sentence of Paragraph 9.3 will not apply to the Renewal Term, and Landlord’s Work (as defined in Paragraph 7.2) will not apply to the Renewal Term. If Tenant’s net worth at the time Tenant exercises its option to renew is less than 90% of Tenant’s net worth as of December 31, 2011 (as set forth on Tenant’s 10-Q for the quarterly period ended 12-31-2011), Landlord may reasonably require a commercially reasonable security deposit or letter of credit (or a commercially reasonable increase in any existing security deposit or letter of credit under this Lease) before disbursing any such allowance; if Tenant’s net worth at the time Tenant exercises its option to renew is at least 90% of Tenant’s net worth as of December 31, 2011 (as set forth on Tenant’s 10-Q for the quarterly period ended 12-31-2011), and if the last month’s Base Rental for the Renewal Term (as determined pursuant to this Paragraph 35) exceeds the last month’s Base Rental for the initial Lease Term, then the required security deposit or letter of credit under this Lease will be increased to an amount equal to the last month’s Base Rental for the Renewal Term, and Tenant will provide Landlord with such increase as a condition to Landlord’s disbursement of such allowance. Tenant will provide Landlord with reasonable evidence of such net worth (or make the same available to Landlord on the internet) promptly after Tenant exercises such option to renew.

(c) In order to exercise such option to renew, Tenant must first deliver an initial nonbinding notice to Landlord no later than 45 days before the Renewal Exercise Deadline (defined below), and no earlier than 15 months before the Expiration Date of the initial Lease Term, in which Tenant expresses its intention to exercise or interest in exercising such option to renew and requesting Landlord’s determination of Fair Market Rent and Fair Market Allowance. Within 30 days thereafter, Landlord will notify Tenant (“Landlord’s Renewal Notice”) of Landlord’s calculation of the Fair Market Rent and Fair Market Allowance for the Premises, which calculation will reflect the market rate that would be payable per annum for a term commencing on the first day of the Renewal Term. If Tenant fails to give its initial nonbinding notice when due as provided in this Paragraph, Tenant will irrevocably be deemed to have waived its option to renew. For purposes hereof, the “Renewal Exercise Deadline” means the day that is 9 months before the Expiration Date of the initial Lease Term.

(d) On or before the Renewal Exercise Deadline, Tenant will deliver to Landlord a final binding notice in which Tenant (i) elects to renew the Lease and accepts the terms stated in Landlord’s Renewal Notice, (ii) elects to renew but disputes Landlord’s determination of Fair Market Rent or Fair Market Allowance or both, in which case the parties will proceed with the dispute resolution mechanism set forth in Exhibit J-2; or (iii) declines to renew the Lease Term, in which case Tenant’s rights under this Paragraph 35 will be null and void. If Tenant fails to notify Landlord by the Renewal Exercise

 

51


Deadline (after having given its initial nonbinding notice within the required time), time being of the essence, then Tenant will conclusively be deemed to have elected not to renew the Lease, in which event Tenant’s rights under this Paragraph 35 will be null and void.

(e) After Tenant delivers Tenant’s binding notice exercising an option to renew (and, if applicable, completion of the dispute resolution process set forth in Exhibit J-2), Landlord will deliver to Tenant a commercially reasonable amendment to this Lease reflecting the terms of the renewal, and Tenant will execute such amendment and deliver it to Landlord within 30 days after receipt. If Tenant fails to execute and deliver to Landlord the requisite amendment to this Lease within 30 days after Landlord’s delivery of such amendment to Tenant, such failure (1) will, if Landlord so elects in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, render Tenant’s exercise of such option to renew null and void; and (2) will, if Landlord’s so elects in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, constitute an Event of Default. Time is of the essence with respect to the giving of Tenant’s exercise notices and execution of such amendment.

(f) Tenant’s right to exercise its option to renew this Lease pursuant to this Paragraph is subject to the following conditions: (i) that on the date that Tenant delivers notice of its election to exercise its option to renew, no Event of Default exists; (ii) that Tenant has not been in Monetary Default (hereinafter defined) under the Lease two or more times during the 24-month period immediately preceding the Renewal Exercise Deadline (For purposes hereof, a “Monetary Default” means the failure of Tenant to pay any rent or any other sums of money due under the Lease within 3 days after notice from Landlord which has been evidenced by the issuance by Landlord to Tenant of a statutory notice in accordance with applicable law, such as); (iii) that Fusion-io, Inc. has not assigned the Lease (other than to Permitted Affiliated Transferees); and (iv) that on the date that Tenant delivers notice of its election to exercise its option to renew, Fusion-io, Inc. and its Permitted Affiliated Transferees occupy at least 50,000 rentable square feet in the Building.

 

36. RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER.

Subject to the provisions set forth hereinafter, Tenant will have a right of first offer to lease from Landlord all rentable space in the building located at building located at 2840 Junction Avenue, San Jose, California (the “Additional Premises”), on the same terms as contained in this Lease for the Premises, except that (i) the rent abatement rights and leasehold improvement allowance granted under this Lease in respect of the initial Premises will not apply to the Additional Premises; (ii) the Work Letter attached hereto will not apply to the Additional Premises; (iii) the Base Rental due for such Additional Premises will be as set forth in this Paragraph; (iv) references in this Lease to the Building would instead refer to the particular building in which the Additional Premises are located; and (v) in the event that the Additional Premises leased by Tenant is less than all rentable space in the building in which such space is located, then Tenant’s lease of such space will be subject to such reasonable restrictions, rules, limitations, and regulations as Landlord reasonably deems necessary or appropriate in the context of a multi-tenant building lease, as contrasted with this Lease which is a lease for space in a single-tenant building.

The Base Rental for the Additional Premises will be at a rate equal to the Fair Market Rent (as defined in Exhibit J-1, but with references therein to “Premises” to such Additional Premises). If Tenant exercises its right of first offer, Landlord will grant to Tenant a leasehold improvement allowance equal to the Fair Market Allowance (as defined in Exhibit J-1), which Tenant may apply toward Tenant’s initial leasehold improvements (upon which Landlord and Tenant must mutually agree) to the Additional Premises. All costs of such leasehold improvements in excess of such allowance will be borne by Tenant. Such leasehold improvements will be performed by Tenant, and such allowance will be disbursed by Landlord, subject and pursuant to a work letter under which the tenant performs the work using an allowance, which work letter will be prepared by Landlord and substantially the same as the Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit D. Landlord’s Work (as defined in Paragraph 7.2) will not apply to the Additional Premises, but Landlord will deliver to Tenant possession of the Additional Premises in Turnover Condition (as defined in Paragraph 7.2). Landlord agrees that the electrical system, mechanical system, heating, ventilation and air conditioning system; plumbing system, and fire sprinkler system, serving the Additional Premises and the roll up doors servicing the Additional Premises shall be in good working condition and operable, and the decks and roof covering the Additional Premises shall be water tight, all of the foregoing as of the date Landlord delivers possession of the Additional Premises to Tenant. Except to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant or a Tenant Party (as defined in Paragraph 9.3) or by any

 

52


alterations or improvements performed by or on behalf of Tenant, if such systems are not in good working order or the roof is not water tight as of the date possession of the Additional Premises is delivered to Tenant and Tenant provides Landlord with notice of the same within ninety (90) days following delivery of such possession, Landlord shall be responsible for repairing or restoring the same. If Tenant fails to give such notice within such 90-day period, then the Additional Premises will conclusively be presumed to have been in good and satisfactory condition when possession was delivered. If Tenant gives such notice within such 90-day period, then the Additional Premises will conclusively be presumed to have been in good and satisfactory condition when possession was delivered except as noted in such notice. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Paragraph, Tenant will be deemed to have accepted the Additional Premises in “as-is” condition, and except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Paragraph and except for Landlord’s ongoing repair and maintenance obligations as set forth in this Lease, Landlord will have no additional obligation to improve, renovate or remodel the Additional Premises or any portion of the Building or provide any allowance therefor as a result of Tenant’s exercise of its right of first offer. Landlord’s obligation to replace the roof as set forth in the last sentence of Paragraph 9.3 will not apply to the Additional Premises. If Tenant’s net worth at the time Tenant exercises its right of first offer is less than 90% of Tenant’s net worth as of December 31, 2011 (as set forth on Tenant’s 10-Q for the quarterly period ended 12-31-2011), Landlord may reasonably require a commercially reasonable security deposit or letter of credit (or a commercially reasonable increase in any existing security deposit or letter of credit under this Lease) before disbursing any such allowance; if Tenant’s net worth at the time Tenant exercises its right of first offer is at least 90% of Tenant’s net worth as of December 31, 2011 (as set forth on Tenant’s 10-Q for the quarterly period ended 12-31-2011), then the required security deposit or letter of credit under this Lease will be increased by an amount equal to the last month’s Base Rental for the Additional Premises, and Tenant will provide Landlord with such increase as a condition to Landlord’s disbursement of such allowance. Tenant will provide Landlord with reasonable evidence of such net worth (or make the same available to Landlord on the internet) promptly after Tenant exercises such right of first offer.

The provisions of this Paragraph will apply to all or any of the Additional Premises as all or any of the Additional Premises may become available for lease, subject and subordinate to the following expansion, renewal, and extension rights and options: 5-year extension option held by Pillar Data Systems, Inc. (and its successors and assigns) on 2840 Junction Avenue; and, and to any extensions or renewals of existing leases for the Additional Premises. However, Tenant may not exercise its rights under this Paragraph as to less than all of the Additional Premises offered by Landlord.

Within 10 days following receipt of written notice from Landlord that all or some of the Additional Premises is available for lease (which notice Landlord may not give more than 10 months prior to the end of the lease term of the applicable Additional Premises) and of Landlord’s determination of Fair Market Rent and Fair Market Allowance for such Additional Premises, Tenant will deliver to Landlord a written notice in which Tenant (i) elects to exercise its right of first offer for the Additional Premises set forth in Landlord’s notice and accepts the terms stated in Landlord’s notice, (ii) elects to exercise its right of first offer for the Additional Premises set forth in Landlord’s notice but disputes Landlord’s determination of Fair Market Rent or Fair Market Allowance or both, in which case the parties will proceed with the dispute resolution mechanism set forth in Exhibit J-2; or (iii) declines to exercise its right of first offer for the Additional Premises set forth in Landlord’s notice Term, in which case Tenant’s right of first offer will lapse and be of no further force and effect with respect to the offered portion of the Additional Premises only. If Tenant fails to notify Landlord within such period, time being of the essence, then Tenant’s right of first offer will lapse and be of no further force and effect with respect to the offered portion of the Additional Premises only. If Tenant exercises the right granted herein, Landlord will prepare, and Landlord and Tenant will enter into, a commercially reasonable amendment to this Lease to incorporate the respective portion of the Additional Premises and to make necessary adjustments to the Base Rental and similar provisions of this Lease. If Tenant fails to execute and deliver to Landlord the requisite amendment to this Lease within 30 days after Landlord’s delivery of such amendment to Tenant, Landlord may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to notify Tenant in writing that if Tenant fails to execute and deliver such amendment within 10 days after Landlord’s delivery of such notice, that such failure may result in the voiding of Tenant’s exercise of such right of first offer or an Event of Default or both; if Landlord delivers such notice and Tenant fails to execute and deliver to Landlord the requisite amendment to this Lease within 10 days after Landlord’s delivery of such notice to Tenant, such failure (i) will, if Landlord so elects in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, render Tenant’s exercise of such right of first offer null and void; and (ii) will, if Landlord’s so elects in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, constitute an Event of Default.

The foregoing right of first offer may not be severed from this Lease or separately sold, assigned or transferred and is subject to the following additional conditions, namely: (a) that Tenant’s right of first offer will

 

53


expire on the 6th anniversary of the Commencement Date of the initial Lease Term; (b) that the Lease Term for any Additional Premises will run concurrently with this Lease; (c) that, at the time that Tenant exercises this right of first offer for any Additional Premises, no Event of Default exists; (d) that Tenant has not been in Monetary Default (as defined in Paragraph 35) under the Lease two or more times during the 24-month period immediately preceding the applicable deadline for Tenant’s exercise of its right of first offer as set forth above; (e) that Fusion-io, Inc. has not assigned the Lease (other than to Permitted Affiliated Transferees) and has not subleased more than 20,000 rentable square feet (other than to Permitted Affiliated Transferees).

 

37. COMMUNICATION DISH; ROOFTOP HVAC.

(a) Communication Equipment and HVAC Units. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Paragraph 37 and the other provisions of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to install, maintain and operate, at Tenant’s sole cost, risk and expense: (i) television antennas (such as a satellite dish and VHF/UHF antenna, communication antennas, and related equipment (the “Communication Equipment”) to be used in connection with Tenant’s business in the Premises, provided that Tenant shall have given Landlord at least 10 days’ prior written notice of Tenant’s desire to exercise this right; and (ii) up to two rooftop condenser units for a Supplemental HVAC System (each, a “Rooftop HVAC Unit”), provided that in each case Tenant shall have given Landlord at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of Tenant’s desire to exercise this right.

(b) Antenna Premises. Tenant agrees that (i) the Communication Equipment shall be designed, installed and operated solely for the purpose of sending and receiving transmissions in connection with the business of Tenant in the Premises, at a location upon the Building (the “Antenna Premises”) mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant, and (ii) the installation and operation of the Communications Equipment must conform to the Installation Standards attached as Exhibit L.

(c) HVAC Premises. Tenant agrees that: (i) each Rooftop HVAC Unit shall be installed at a location upon the Building (the “Rooftop HVAC Unit Premises”) mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant; and (ii) the method of installation of the Rooftop HVAC Unit will be subject to Landlord’s review and approval (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(d) Relocation. Tenant agrees that, in order to accommodate repairs and maintenance of the Building (including, without limitation, the roof of the Building), upon prior written notice to Tenant from Landlord (which notice may be given at any time and from time-to-time during the Lease Term), Tenant shall diligently pursue relocation of the Communication Equipment from the then existing location of the Antenna Premises to any substitute location for the Antenna Premises reasonably designated by Landlord and reasonably approved by Tenant. Tenant shall diligently pursue completion of such relocation, provided that if Tenant fails to complete such relocation within a thirty (30)-day period, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, complete such relocation, and Tenant shall have no further right to use or occupy the prior location for the Antenna Premises and such substitute location designated by Landlord, shall be deemed the “Antenna Premises” for all purposes thereafter under this Section 36. Such relocation will be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant shall also, at Tenant’s expense, repair all damage to the Building caused by the installation, maintenance or removal of the Communication Equipment from such prior location for the Antenna Premises. Landlord will not exercise its right to relocate Tenant’s Communication Equipment pursuant to this Paragraph 37(d) more than once every 36 months.

(e) Access. Tenant shall have the reasonable right to access the Antenna Premises and Rooftop HVAC Unit Premises for the purpose of installing, maintaining, repairing, replacing, testing, improving and removing the Communication Equipment and Rooftop HVAC Unit. Tenant agrees to control access to the Antenna Premises and Rooftop HVAC Unit Premises as reasonably necessary to prevent access thereto by unauthorized persons or for purposes other than those expressly permitted in this Paragraph 36. Tenant agrees to limit access to the roof of the Building to its facilities personnel, communication technicians, and contractors for the purposes of installing, maintaining, repairing, replacing, testing, improving and removing the Communication Equipment and Rooftop HVAC Unit. Prior to any installation, addition, or removal of the Communication Equipment or Rooftop HVAC Unit, in or about the Antenna Premises or Rooftop HVAC Unit Premises, or on any other portion of the Building with respect to the Communication Equipment or Rooftop HVAC Unit, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice thereof and shall submit to Landlord its plans and specifications for such work. Such plans and

 

54


specifications shall contain such detail and description as Landlord may reasonably require. All such work and such plans and specifications shall be subject to the prior written approval of Landlord (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Such approval right of Landlord shall include, without limitation, the right to approve the dimensions, design, weight, placement, installation, technical operating characteristics (including, without limitation, operating frequency, power consumption and mechanical stability) and location of the Communication Equipment and Rooftop HVAC Unit. Submission of such plans and specifications shall not be necessary for maintaining, repairing, testing and otherwise making improvements to (but not replacing) the installed Communication Equipment and HVAC Units. In any event, the Communication Equipment and Rooftop HVAC Unit shall be concealed from view in such manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and at the sole expense of Tenant. The Communication Equipment and Rooftop HVAC Unit shall be installed, at Tenant’s expense, by a contractor reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.

(f) Repair and Maintenance; Surrender. Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant’s sole expense, for the installation, maintenance, operation, repair, replacement and removal of the Communication Equipment and Rooftop HVAC Unit in accordance herewith, including, without limitation, the cost of all utilities and supplies. Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant’s sole expense, for maintaining in reasonably good repair and condition, the Communications Equipment. Tenant shall also be responsible for the costs of design and construction of any modification to the Building required from time-to-time to accommodate the Communication Equipment and Rooftop HVAC Unit. If at any time any Communication Equipment is no longer being used or held for future use by Tenant, or upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, or following the date Tenant vacates the Premises, then Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, remove the Communication Equipment and repair all damage to the Building caused by the installation, maintenance or removal of any such Communication Equipment. The Communication Equipment shall remain the property of Tenant during the entire Lease Term and any renewals thereof.

Tenant will, at Tenant’s sole cost, repair and maintain such Rooftop HVAC Unit and keep the same in reasonably good condition. During the Lease Term, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s own expense, enter into a regularly scheduled preventative maintenance/service contract with a maintenance contractor for servicing the Rooftop HVAC Unit. The maintenance contractor and the contract must be approved by Landlord, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The service contract must include all services suggested by the equipment manufacturer within the operation/maintenance manual and the service contract for the Rooftop HVAC Unit must become effective and a copy thereof delivered to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date of this Lease. Tenant will (i) keep such maintenance contract (or another maintenance contract in compliance with such requirements) in effect throughout the Lease Term, (ii) deliver to Landlord from time to time copies of all inspection and repair reports prepared in connection with work performed under the maintenance contract, and (iii) provide to Landlord prior to the termination or stated expiration of such maintenance contract reasonable evidence of the renewal or extension thereof or reasonable evidence (including an executed copy thereof) of a new maintenance contract having been entered into. In the event Tenant is not adequately maintaining such systems as reasonably determined in good faith by Landlord, Landlord may, upon notice to Tenant, enter into such a service contract on behalf of Tenant or perform the work and in either case charge Tenant the cost thereof along with a reasonable amount for Landlord’s overhead. The Rooftop HVAC Unit may not utilize the Building’s condenser water loop or the Building’s chilled water. At the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Landlord may require Tenant to remove, at Tenant’s cost, such Rooftop HVAC Unit and all components thereof if Landlord reasonably determines that the same has not been reasonably adequately maintained and repaired or if the same is obsolete or at or near the end of its reasonably expected useful life (in each case as reasonably determined by Landlord’s Building engineer or engineering consultant), but if Landlord does not so elect, then the Rooftop HVAC Unit will become part and parcel with the Building and forever remain Landlord’s property.

(g) Compliance; Interference. Tenant shall acquire in a timely manner and in any event prior to any installation or modification to the Communication Equipment and Rooftop HVAC Unit, all required licenses, permits and approvals of any applicable governmental authority, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant shall install, operate and maintain the Communication Equipment in accordance with all applicable laws, ordinances and regulations, and in accordance with the requirements of Landlord’s communication and other engineering consultants and operators. The reasonable cost to

 

55


Landlord of such consultants and operators utilized in reviewing any plans or work proposed by Tenant for the Communication Equipment and Rooftop HVAC Unit shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon written demand therefor. Tenant understands and agrees that in addition to the Antenna Premises, certain other areas in, on or around the Building or the real property adjacent thereto, may also contain, at Landlord’s discretion, other communications equipment and facilities operated and/or maintained by Landlord. Accordingly, Tenant agrees that Tenant will not permit the Communication Equipment, or Tenant’s use thereof, to become a nuisance or to interfere with such operations of Landlord or the operations of the Building.

(h) Indemnity. Tenant agrees to indemnify Landlord and the other Parties Indemnified by Tenant (as defined in Paragraph 19), and hold them harmless from and against any loss, cost, claim, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) arising out of Tenant’s use or access to the Antenna Premises or Rooftop HVAC Unit Premises or the installation, maintenance, operation, modification or removal of the Communication Equipment or Rooftop HVAC Unit.

 

38. GENERATOR.

Landlord agrees that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Paragraph, Tenant will have the right, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to install a backup generator, and an enclosure around such equipment (the “Emergency Power System”) on the exterior of the Premises, in the location depicted on Exhibit M. Landlord will not grant any other tenant of the Project the right to install a generator on the Property. The following terms and conditions will apply to the Emergency Power System:

(a) The Emergency Power System must comply, and Tenant will at Tenant’s cost cause the same to be and to remain in compliance, with all Regulations and the requirements of all federal, state and local governmental and quasi-governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Building.

(b) The Emergency Power System must comply, and Tenant will at Tenant’s cost cause the same to be and to remain in compliance, with all applicable insurance requirements of both Landlord’s insurer and Tenant’s insurer. The insurance provisions of Paragraph 17 of the Lease will apply to the Emergency Power System.

(c) Tenant will, at its sole expense, maintain the Emergency Power System in good condition at all times during the Term.

(d) If Landlord becomes aware that the Emergency Power System is in violation of this Paragraph, Landlord will so notify Tenant. If Tenant becomes aware, whether by notice from Landlord or otherwise, that the Emergency Power System is in violation of this Paragraph, Tenant will promptly correct such violation.

(e) Upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, or upon expiration or termination of Tenant’s right to the Emergency Power System (as provided above), Tenant will, at its sole cost and expense, remove the Emergency Power System, and repair and restore any damage caused by its installation or removal, including, without limitation, restoration of the Building and surrounding area to an architectural and aesthetic whole. The provisions of this paragraph will survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

(f) Tenant will pay all costs and expenses of operation and maintenance of the Emergency Power System. If any such costs are invoiced to Landlord, such costs will become additional rent and will be due promptly upon invoice therefor from Landlord. Tenant will pay Landlord, as additional rent, all additional expenses incurred by Landlord as a result of the Tenant’s operation of the Emergency Power System.

(g) Landlord may impose such other reasonable requirements and restrictions with respect to the Emergency Power System at such time as Tenant submits its plans for the Emergency Power System, and Landlord may impose such additional reasonable requirements and restrictions with respect to the Emergency Power System at any time thereafter so long as such additional requirements and restrictions imposed thereafter do not unreasonably impede the operation and utility of the Emergency Power System and do not unreasonably cause Tenant to incur any additional material cost or expense.

 

56


(h) The Emergency Power System must not clash with and must be harmonious with the Building color scheme, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment.

(i) The design of the Emergency Power System must be consistent with the first-class nature of the Building, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment.

(j) The Emergency Power System must be screened or fenced off in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, using materials consistent with the first-class nature of the Building, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment.

(k) The size and location of the Emergency Power System may not unreasonably and adversely impact the Building’s parking amenities and access, in Landlord’s sole and absolute judgment.

(l) All aspects of the installation of the Emergency Power System will be subject to Landlord’s review and approval (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Without limiting the foregoing, any fuel tanks for the Emergency Power System must be above-ground, not underground.

(m) Before installing the Emergency Power System, Tenant must prepare and deliver to Landlord the following, which will be subject to Landlord’s approval (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed):

Preliminary drawings of the Emergency Power System, including the location proposed by Tenant;

A list of all colors, materials, and finishes that will be used; and

Samples of any material to be used in screening or fencing off the Emergency Power System, if Landlord so requests.

Incomplete drawings will be returned to Tenant without approval.

(n) Tenant will be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for obtaining and maintaining during the Lease Term all applications, permits, consents, approvals and licenses required by federal, state and local governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and by any applicable property association to which the Building may be subject, in connection with the Emergency Power System. Landlord will cooperate with Tenant in obtaining such approvals, but Tenant will reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s out-of-pocket costs in connection therewith. Copies of all permits and licenses must be delivered to Landlord promptly after Tenant’s receipt thereof. Tenant’s inability or failure to obtain any such permits, approvals or licenses, or the expiration or cancellation of the same, and the resulting inability of Tenant to install or maintain the Emergency Power System, will not invalidate this Lease or reduce Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

(o) Landlord is not and will not be obligated to provide a security guard or any other security services for the Emergency Power System. Under no circumstances will Landlord or its managing agent or their respective agents or employees be liable for, and Tenant waives all claims with respect to, (a) any damages, injuries or losses sustained by Tenant or its agents, employees or contractors, resulting from Landlord’s failure to provide security or adequate security for the Emergency Power System, or (b) losses or damages due to failure of the Emergency Power System or inadequacy of the location or facilities therefor, the same being at Tenant’s sole risk, or (c) the damages done to the Emergency Power System by any person, and neither will Landlord be required to insure against any such losses. Tenant will follow all rules and regulations reasonably promulgated by Landlord with respect thereto. The provisions of this paragraph will survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

(p) Tenant will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Parties Indemnified by Tenant (as

 

57


defined in Paragraph 19 from and against any and all loss, damage, claim, demand, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from claims by third parties arising in connection with the Emergency Power System, or any person’s use thereof, or any robbery, theft or burglary relating thereto. Tenant will have the right and obligation to assume the defense of any claim covered by this indemnity on behalf of both itself and the Landlord Parties, and the Landlord Parties may not settle such claim without the consent of Tenant (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided (i) Tenant acknowledges to the Landlord Parties in writing that it is responsible for such claim under the terms of this paragraph and (ii) the lawyers selected by Tenant to handle such defense are reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord Parties and such representation does not result in a conflict of interest for such lawyers. The Landlord Parties may participate in the defense of such claim at their own expense unless Tenant is not representing the Landlord Parties in which case the reasonable expense of the Landlord Parties in defending against such claim will be paid by Tenant. The provisions of this paragraph will survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

(q) Tenant agrees to indemnify Landlord and the other Parties Indemnified by Tenant (as defined in Paragraph 19), and hold them harmless from and against any loss, cost, claim, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) arising out of or in connection with the Emergency Power System, or any person’s use thereof, or any robbery, theft or burglary relating thereto.

(r) The waivers set forth in Paragraph 18 will apply to the Emergency Power System.

WORK LETTER

1. PLANNING. Tenant will engage a licensed architect (the “Architect”), subject to Landlord’s written approval (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to prepare architectural plans and specifications (the “Proposed Architectural Plans”) for improving the Premises based on the space plans attached to this Work Letter (the “Space Plan”) and prepared by Folio Architects (the “Space Planner”). The Space Plan sets forth the initial improvements and alterations that Tenant desires to perform on the Premises (the “Tenant Work”). Landlord hereby approves Folio Architects as the Architect.

The Proposed Architectural Plans will consist of fully dimensioned and complete sets of plans and specifications, including detailed architectural plans for the Tenant Work, and will include, in addition to all items required to be included in the Space Plan, the following, to the extent applicable: (i) reflected ceiling plan, including lighting, switching and special ceiling specifications, (ii) details of all millwork, (iii) dimensions of all equipment and cabinets to be built in, (iv) furniture plan showing details of space occupancy, (v) keying schedule (Premises must be keyed to permit entry by Building master key), if any, (vi) lighting arrangement, (vii) weight and location of heavy equipment, and anticipated electrical and mechanical loads for special usage rooms, (viii) demolition plan, (ix) partition construction plan, (x) all requirements under the Americans With Disabilities Act and other applicable acts, laws, or governmental rules or regulations pertaining to persons with disabilities, and all other applicable governmental requirements, and (xi) final finish selections, and any other details or features requested by the Architect or Landlord. Landlord will not disapprove any aspect of the Proposed Architectural Plans to the extent that the basis for such disapproval was discernable from the Space Plan and where such disapproval could reasonably have been raised upon review of the Space Plan.

Form Subordination, Nondisturbance, and Attornment Agreement

SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT

THIS SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is made as of                     , 20    , by and among and FUSION-IO, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”), LASALLE MONTAGUE, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Landlord”), and THE UNION LABOR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, ON BEHALF OF SEPARATE ACCOUNT J (“Lender”).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

Landlord (or Landlord’s predecessor-in-interest) and Tenant are parties to a Lease, dated                     , 2012 (the “Lease”), pursuant to which Tenant leases from Landlord space in certain improvements located on the real property legally described on the attached Exhibit A (the “Premises”). The Premises is or will be encumbered by that certain Deed of Trust, Assignment of Leases and Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing from Landlord for the benefit of Lender (the “Mortgage”) dated January 22, 2008, and recorded January 22, 2008 as document number 19717979 which secures the Note described therein (the “Note”). Tenant has agreed to recognize the rights of Lender in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

AGREEMENT

In consideration of the mutual covenants and provisions of this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

1. Subordination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, the Lease and the leasehold estate created thereby are hereby declared to be, and hereafter shall continue at all times to be, junior, subject and subordinate, in each and every respect, to the Mortgage, including, without limitation, any and all increases, renewals, modifications, extensions, and/or consolidations of the Note or the Mortgage. The foregoing subordination is effective and self-operative without the necessity for execution of any further instruments. At any time at the election of Lender, Lender shall have the right to declare the Lease superior to the lien, provisions, operation and effect of the Mortgage.

2. Attornment; Nondisturbance.

(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing subordination, if the interest of Landlord under the Lease shall be transferred by reason of foreclosure or other proceedings (judicial or non-judicial) for enforcement of the Mortgage or by reason of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, Tenant, at the election of the transferee and its successors and assigns (the “Purchaser”) acquiring said interests, shall be bound to the Purchaser pursuant to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease for the balance of the term of the Lease then remaining and any extensions or renewals thereof which may be effected in accordance with any option therefor in the Lease, with the same force and effect as if the Purchaser were the original landlord under the Lease, and Tenant does hereby attorn to and agree to attorn to the Purchaser, as its landlord, said attornment to be effective and self-operative without the necessity for execution of any further instruments, upon Purchaser’s election after succeeding to the interest of the Landlord under the Lease.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1 and provided that Tenant is not in default under the Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods, Purchaser shall be bound to Tenant and its successors and assigns pursuant to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease for the balance of the term of the Lease then remaining and any extensions or renewals thereof which may be effected in accordance with any option set forth in the Lease, with the same force and effect as if Purchaser were the original landlord under the Lease, and provided that Tenant is not in default under the Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods the Lease shall not be terminated, nor shall Tenant’s use, possession or enjoyment of the Premises be interfered with, nor shall the leasehold estate granted by the Lease be affected in any other manner, in any foreclosure or any action or proceeding instituted under or in connection with the Mortgage.

 

H-1


3. Further Acts. Notwithstanding any provisions contained in Sections 1 and 2 above which state that the attornment and subordination by Tenant to Purchaser are effective and self-operative without the execution of any further instrument, Tenant agrees that, upon request of Lender and/or Purchaser, it will execute such written agreement to evidence and affirm any and all of Tenant’s obligations under this Agreement, and further, Tenant agrees that it will execute from time to time such further assurances and estoppel certificates as may reasonably be requested by Lender and Purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if and to the extent that Landlord rejects the Lease in any federal or state proceeding, Tenant will, upon the request of Lender or Purchaser, immediately enter into a new lease directly with the Purchaser on the same terms as the Lease, provided execution of such new lease does not violate any bankruptcy law or related court order.

4. Limitation. Neither Lender nor any Purchaser shall be (a) liable for any act or omission of Landlord or any prior landlord (including the loss or misappropriation of any rental payments or security deposits) except that Lender or Purchaser shall have the obligation to cure defaults under the Lease that continue after the Lender or Purchaser takes title to the Premises; (b) subject to any credits, claims, setoffs, offsets or defenses which Tenant may have against Landlord or any prior landlord, except for those expressly set forth in the Lease; (c) bound by (or responsible for) any advance payment of rent or any other monetary obligations under the Lease to Landlord in excess of one month’s prepayment thereof in the case of rent, or in excess of one periodic payment in advance in the case of any other monetary obligations under the Lease unless received by Lender or Purchaser; (d) responsible for any security deposit not actually received by Lender or any Purchaser; or (e) bound by any amendment, extension, renewal or modification of the Lease to which Lender or Purchaser has not consented in writing except for those amendments, extensions, renewals, or modifications entered into pursuant to, or contemplated by, rights or options set forth in the Lease; (f) liable for latent and/or patent defects in the construction of the Premises; (g) liable for any breach of any warranty in the Lease by Landlord or a prior landlord; (h) bound by any obligation to repair, replace, rebuild or restore the Premises, or any part thereof, in the event of damage by fire or other casualty, or in the event of partial condemnation, beyond such repair, replacement, rebuilding or restoration as may be required of the landlord under the Lease and as can reasonably be accomplished with the use of the net insurance proceeds or the net condemnation award actually received by or made available to Lender (as successor in interest to Landlord) or Purchaser; (i) required to remove any person occupying the Premises or any part thereof; (j) bound by any right of first refusal to purchase, or right of first offer to purchase, set forth in the Lease; or (k) bound by any other right of first refusal, or right of first offer, except for the right of first offer to lease 2840 Junction Avenue, San Jose, California, as set forth in Paragraph 36 of the Lease. Neither Lender nor any Purchaser shall be liable for any reason for amounts in excess of the value of its interest in the Premises (including condemnation awards, property insurance proceeds, and sale proceeds, and including rents received by Lender or Purchaser from the Premises after the date of a judgment in favor of Tenant and against Landlord, Lender, or Purchaser, but before payment of such judgment in full), or for consequential or punitive damages of any kind.

5. Notice; Cure; Waivers. Tenant agrees to give written notice to Lender (and to any successor in interest to Lender of which Tenant has been notified) of any default of the Landlord under the Lease if such default is of such a nature as to give Tenant a right to terminate the Lease, reduce rent or to credit or offset any amounts against future rents. If, within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from Tenant, Lender, at Lender’s sole option, commences to cure a default of Landlord under the Lease that is capable of being cured by Lender, or commences to pursue any other of its remedies under the Mortgage and thereafter diligently pursues such cure to completion, Tenant agrees not to terminate the Lease, consent or acquiesce in the termination of the Lease or surrender the Premises and agrees to continue to be bound by the terms of the Lease and this Agreement. As against Lender and its successors in interest, Tenant hereby waives any default by Landlord which is not capable of being cured by Lender in the exercise of reasonable diligence.

6. Payments of Rent to Lender. Landlord absolutely assigns to Lender all payments of rent as the same are due under the Lease (the “Rent”) and Tenant agrees that within thirty (30) days after notice of an Event of Default (as defined in the Mortgage) by the Lender and until such time as all of Landlord’s monetary obligations to Lender have been fully paid, Tenant will pay the Rent directly to Lender. All such rental payments received by Lender shall be credited against Landlord’s obligations to Lender and Tenant’s obligations to Landlord. Landlord, by its execution hereof, agrees that this Agreement does not constitute a waiver by Lender of any of Lender’s rights under the Mortgage and any assignment of leases or rents contained therein, or in a separate instrument or in any way release the Landlord from any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants and agreements of the Mortgage.

 

H-2


7. Governing Law. It is the intent of the parties hereto that this Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State where the Premises is located (the “State”) without giving effect to its conflicts of laws principles. For purposes of any action or proceeding arising out of this Agreement, the parties hereto expressly submit to the jurisdiction of all federal and state courts located in the State and Landlord, Tenant and Lender consent that they may be served with any process or paper by registered mail or by personal service within or without the State in accordance with applicable law. Furthermore, Landlord and Tenant waive and agree not to assert in any such action, suit or proceeding that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such courts, that the action, suit or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that venue of the action, suit or proceeding is improper.

8. Notices. All notices, consents, approvals or other instruments required or permitted to be given by either party pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and given by (i) hand delivery, (ii) express overnight delivery service or (iii) certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and shall be deemed to have been delivered upon (a) receipt, if hand delivered, (b) the next business day, if delivered by express overnight delivery service, or (c) the third business day following the day of deposit of such notice with the United States Postal Service, if sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.

Building Signage Criteria

1. Intentionally Omitted.

2. The color(s) of the Building Signs must not clash with and must be harmonious with the Building color scheme, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment. Landlord hereby approves the colors on the conceptual plan for the Building Signs as attached hereto.

3. The design of the Building Signs must be consistent with the first-class nature of the Building, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment. Landlord hereby approves the design on the conceptual plan for the Building Signs as attached hereto.

4. The method of illuminating the Building Signs must not be neon lights and such illumination must not flash.

5. The Building Signs must be made of materials consistent with the first-class nature of the Building, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment.

7. Before installing the Building Signs, Tenant must prepare and deliver to Landlord the following, which will be subject to Landlord’s approval (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed):

Preliminary drawings of the Building Sign; Landlord hereby approves the preliminary drawings for the Building Signs as attached hereto.

Copies of all permits and licenses must be delivered to Landlord promptly after Tenant’s receipt thereof. Tenant’s inability or failure to obtain any such permits, approvals or licenses, or the expiration or cancellation of the same, and the resulting inability of Tenant to install or maintain the Building Signs, will not invalidate this Lease or reduce Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

9. Tenant will replace any bulbs in the Building Signs promptly after such bulb(s) stop working or materially lose intensity.

Exhibit J-1

Fair Market Rent; Fair Market Allowance

For purposes of this Lease, “Fair Market Rent” means a rate comprised of (i) the prevailing base rental rate per square foot of rentable space of comparable space available in the Pertinent Market (defined below), and (ii) any financial escalation of such prevailing base rental rate (based upon a fixed step or index) for comparable space prevailing in the Pertinent Market (on the basis of factors such as, but not limited to, size and location of space and commencement date and term of lease), recently executed for improved space in office and flex space buildings in San Jose, California that are comparable to the Building in class, reputation, quality, size, location and level and quality of services provided (the foregoing factors not being exclusive in identifying comparable buildings) (the Building and such comparable buildings, as the case may be, being herein referred to as the “Pertinent Market”). For purposes of this Lease, “Fair Market Allowance” means the prevailing leasehold improvement allowance (on a per rentable square foot basis) available in the Pertinent Market, of office space (on the basis of factors such as, but not limited to, size and location of space and commencement date and term of lease), and the rental rate. In determining the Fair Market Rent and Fair Market Allowance, there will also be taken into consideration (a) the definition of rentable area or net rentable area with respect to which such rental rates are computed; (b) whether the lease comparable is a net or gross lease and, if gross, differences in base year or stop; (c) the value of rental abatements, moving allowances, allowances for construction of tenant improvements, time permitted to tenants in which to construct tenant improvements and other financial or economic concessions generally available in the Pertinent Market at such time to tenants leasing comparable space which are not being made available to Tenant in kind; (d) the market capitalization and creditworthiness of the tenant; (e) leasing commissions; and (f) other comparable pertinent factors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Exhibit, if a lease that is to be used as a comparable in calculating Fair Market Rent was prepared based on an option calling for the base rental to be at less than 100% of “market,” then such rental rate will be grossed back up to 100% in calculating Fair Market Rent hereunder.

 

J-1-1


Exhibit J-2

Dispute Resolution

If, in accordance with Paragraph 35 or Paragraph 36 of the Lease, Tenant disputes Landlord’s determination of Fair Market Rent or Fair Market Allowance or both, then Landlord and Tenant will negotiate for 15 days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice of such dispute. If Landlord and Tenant do not come to an agreement on Fair Market Rent and Fair Market Allowance within such 15-day period, then Landlord and Tenant will simultaneously exchange sealed bids of their respective final determinations of Fair Market Rent and Fair Market Allowance. If the lower of the two determinations of Fair Market Rent is no less than 95% of the higher of the two determinations of Fair Market Rent, and if Fair Market Allowance is not in dispute or such dispute is resolved by averaging the two parties’ positions as set forth below in this grammatical paragraph, then the Fair Market Rent will be the average of the two determinations, and otherwise the parties will proceed to arbitration as set forth below. If the lower of the two determinations of Fair Market Allowance is no less than 95% of the higher of the two determinations of Fair Market Allowance, and if Fair Market Rent is not in dispute or such dispute is resolved by averaging the two parties’ positions as set forth above in this grammatical paragraph, then the Fair Market Allowance will be the average of the two determinations, and otherwise the parties will proceed to arbitration as set forth below.

Arbitration to determine the Fair Market Rent and Fair Market Allowance shall be in accordance with the Real Estate Valuation Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Unless otherwise required by state law, arbitration shall be conducted in the metropolitan area where the Building is located by a single arbitrator unaffiliated with either party. Within 20 days after the exchange of determinations by Landlord and Tenant, the parties will appoint a single arbitrator to decide the issues between them. Such arbitrator must be a competent and impartial person, must be a member of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers (or its successor organization) with a then-current senior designation of MAI (or then comparable designation) currently certified under the continuing education program, and having at least 10 years’ experience in appraising commercial properties in the Pertinent Market. If the parties are unable to agree upon appointment of such a person within such 20-day period, then either party, on behalf of both, may request a list of qualified arbitrators from the American Arbitration Association (or such other arbitration organization as the parties may approve in writing) meeting such criteria. In such event, the parties, beginning with Tenant, will alternate striking one name from such list until one name remains, in which event such remaining name will be the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall decide the dispute if it has not previously been resolved by following the procedure set forth below and will attempt to render a decision within 15 business days after appointment. In any case, the arbitrator will render its decision within 45 days after appointment. In the event that arbitrators with the qualifications described in this paragraph are unavailable, qualified consultants with similar qualifications may be substituted.

If either Fair Market Rent or Fair Market Allowance are in dispute and are to be decided by arbitration, then both will be decided by arbitration unless the parties otherwise agree in writing. The arbitrator must choose either the Landlord’s proposal for both Fair Market Rent and Fair Market Allowance, or the Tenant’s proposal for both Fair Market Rent and Fair Market Allowance (as set forth in the sealed bids exchanged prior to the appointment of the arbitrator, in accordance with the foregoing provisions) and may not compromise between the two or select some other amount or select one of Landlord’s determinations and one of Tenant’s determinations. The cost of the arbitration shall be paid by Landlord if the decision by the arbitrator is that proposed by Tenant and by Tenant if the decision by the arbitrator is that proposed by Landlord. The attorneys’ fees and expenses of counsel for the respective parties and of witnesses will be paid by the respective party engaging such counsel or calling such witnesses.

The parties consent to the jurisdiction of any appropriate court to enforce the arbitration provisions of this addendum and to enter judgment upon the decision of the arbitrator. Notice of the appointment of the arbitrator shall be given in all instances to any mortgagee who prior thereto shall have given Tenant a written notice specifying its name and address. Such mortgagee shall have the right to be represented, but not to participate, in the arbitration proceeding.

If Tenant becomes obligated to pay Base Rental, or adjustments thereto, if any, with respect to any period prior to when the Fair Market Rent for such space or period has been determined in accordance with the foregoing, Tenant will commence paying Base Rental and adjustments thereto, if any, utilizing the Fair Market

 

J-2-1


Rent specified by Landlord in its notice of the Fair Market Rent for such space or period. Following determination of the Fair Market Rent in accordance with the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant shall, by a cash payment within thirty (30) days after the date of such determination, adjust between themselves the difference, if any, between the Base Rental and adjustments thereto, if any, paid by Tenant pursuant to the foregoing sentence and the Base Rental and adjustments thereto, if any, actually owed by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this lease for the period prior to such determination.
