Future Building E (“Building E”), future Building F (“Building F”), and future Parking Structure (“Parking Structure”) have not yet been constructed and Landlord may elect not to construct them; provided however that if Landlord elects not to construct the Parking Structure, Landlord shall install surface parking sufficient to satisfy a parking ratio of 3.3 parking spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet of space constructed in the Project, and a minimum of 3.3 parking spaces for each 1,000 rentable square feet of Leased Premises shall continue to be located within the area depicted by a curved dotted line on Schedule 2.2(a) attached to the Lease. Landlord reserves the right to adjust the boundaries of the Project and the sizes and locations of Building E, Building F, and the Parking Structure at any time, provided that the Required Conditions are satisfied. The Site Plan and Landlord’s proposed adjustments to it and the applicable Assessor’s Parcel Map are subject to approval by the City of Santa Clara.
Property: That certain separate legal parcel of real property currently identified as Assessor’s Parcel
No. 216-31- 086, on which is situated the Building and a portion of Building D as delineated on the Site Plan, with a street address of 3315 Scott Boulevard, Santa Clara, California. Landlord is currently processing adjustments to the boundaries of the Property so Building D will not be located on the Property, and reserves the right to adjust the boundaries of the Property at any time, provided in all cases that the Required Conditions are satisfied.
Building: That certain building located on the Property in which the Leased Premises will be located commonly known as 3315 Scott Boulevard, Santa Clara, California (the “Building”), which Building is shown outlined on the Site Plan (and denoted thereon as “Building C”), containing approximately 156,889 rentable square feet of space, which rentable square footage has been determined by utilizing the Building Owners and Managers Association International Single Tenant Full Building Standard Method for Measuring Floor Area in Office Buildings ANSI Z65-1-1996, pages 10 and 11 (the “BOMA”), and to which has been added a proportionate share of café and the fitness center in the Other Building located at 3355 Scott Boulevard (the “Cafe & Fitness Center”), which will be allocated across the rentable square footage of the Building and the Other Buildings, bringing the total rentable square footage of the Building to approximately 156,889 and, for purposes of this Lease, the Building is agreed to contain said number of rentable square feet.
Other Buildings: (a) Those certain buildings currently constructed in the Project (but outside the Property) commonly known as 3355 Scott Boulevard (“Building A”), containing approximately 144,499 rentable square feet of space, 3325 Scott Boulevard (“Building B”), containing approximately 157,412 rentable square feet of space, and 3335 Scott Boulevard (“Building D”), containing (once construction is completed) approximately 245,804 rentable square feet of space, as such rentable

square footage amounts were determined (with respect to Building A and Building B) and will be determined (with respect to Building D) based on BOMA (to which has been added, or subtracted in the case of Building A, a proportionate share of the Cafe & Fitness Center as described above) and, for purposes of this Lease, Building A and Building B are agreed to contain said number of rentable square feet, and (b) such other buildings as may be built on the Project from time to time.
Building D Lease: That certain Lease dated as of the date of this Lease, entered into by and between Landlord and Tenant for the first through fifth floors of Building D (the “Building D Lease”).
Building D Premises: The premises leased by Tenant pursuant to the Building D Lease (the “Building D Premises”).
Common Areas: The “Common Areas” shall mean the areas within the Building or the Project not reserved for the exclusive use of Landlord, Tenant or any other tenant, including, without limitation, lobbies, plazas, walkways, private roadways, loading docks, parking areas, parking structures, and landscaped areas. Common Areas shall not include the interior of any Other Buildings, other than such portions thereof as Landlord may designate for the use of all occupants of the Property.
Parking: With respect to the Leased Premises, Tenant shall be entitled to utilize 3.3 unreserved and unassigned parking spaces for each 1,000 rentable square feet of Leased Premises (as the same may change from time to time in accordance with the terms of this Lease or an amendment hereto), such spaces to be located in the parking area of the Common Areas. For the avoidance of confusion, so long as Tenant is leasing the entire Leased Premises of 35,121 rentable square feet, Tenant would be entitled to 116 such parking spaces. Tenant may (within sixty (60) days after the Effective Date of this Lease, if at all) designate up to three (3) site standard parking spaces (out of Tenant’s overall parking count described above) within the area noted on the Site Plan as “Available Exclusive Parking Area,” for Tenant’s exclusive use so long as it is in occupancy of the entire initial Leased Premises (“Tenant’s Exclusive Parking Spaces”). In addition, if Tenant so desires, Tenant may elect (within sixty (60) days after the Effective Date of this Lease, if at all) to have Landlord designate up to an additional two (2) site standard parking spaces (out of Tenant’s overall parking count described above) to be for Tenant’s exclusive use so long as it is in occupancy of the entire initial Leased Premises (“Tenant’s Additional Exclusive Parking Spaces”). In the event Tenant at any time leases less than the entire initial Leased Premises, the number of Tenant’s Exclusive Parking Spaces and Tenant’s Additional Exclusive Parking Spaces shall be proportionately reduced. Parking is provided to Tenant by Landlord without additional charge for the entire Lease Term including any expansion and/or extension periods, including but not limited to the First Extension Period and the Second Extension Period (as defined in Article 15 below).
Required Conditions: The term “Required Conditions” is defined in Paragraph 2.2(a) below).

Leased Premises: The space located on the first floor of the Building and shown on the floor plan attached hereto as Exhibit B, plus the load factor associated therewith, estimated to contain approximately 35,121 rentable square feet, which rentable square footage has been determined by utilizing Landlord’s method of measurement (the “Premises Measurement Method”), which has been explained to Tenant, which is illustrated on Exhibit C attached hereto. Such rentable area calculation includes, without limitation, a proportionate share of the common Building lobby, and (i) the café portion of the Cafe & Fitness Center allocated across the rentable square footage of the Building and Buildings A and B, and (ii) the fitness center portion of the Cafe & Fitness Center allocated across the rentable square footage of the Building and Buildings A, B, and D.

Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, for the Lease Term and upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Lease, that certain interior space described in Article 1 as the Leased Premises, reserving and excepting to Landlord the right to fifty percent (50%) of all assignment consideration and excess rentals as provided in Article 7 below. Tenant’s lease of the Leased Premises, together with the appurtenant right to use the Common Areas as described in Paragraph 2.2 below, shall be conditioned upon and be subject to the continuing compliance by Tenant with (i) all the terms and conditions of this Lease, (ii) all Laws and Restrictions governing the use or occupancy of the Leased Premises, the Property, and the Project, (iii) all easements and other matters now of public record respecting the use of the Leased Premises, the Property, and the Project, shown on Schedule 2.1 attached hereto (the “Existing Title Encumbrances”), and (iv) all reasonable, non-discriminatory rules and regulations from time to time established by Landlord. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Landlord hereby reserves to itself and its other tenants all rights of access, use and occupancy of the Building roof, and Tenant shall have no right of access, use or occupancy of the Building roof except as provided for in Paragraph 4.14 below; provided, however, during the period, if any, that Tenant is leasing one hundred percent (100%) of all of the rentable square footage in the Building, Tenant shall have the exclusive right to one hundred percent (100%) of the Available Rooftop Space (as defined in Paragraph 4.14 below).

2.2 Common Areas, Cafe & Fitness Center, and Exclusive Use Area.

(a) As an appurtenant right to Tenant’s right to the use and occupancy of the Leased Premises, Tenant shall have the right to use the Common Areas in conjunction with its use of the Leased Premises solely for the purposes for which they were designed and intended and for no other purposes whatsoever. Tenant’s right to so use the Common Areas shall terminate concurrently with any termination of this Lease. Further, Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, to reconfigure the Common Areas or modify the size of the Common Areas in connection with new construction on the Project or sales or subdivisions of portions of the Project, provided that the following conditions (the “Required Conditions”) are satisfied: (i) Tenant’s access to the Leased Premises (including access through the lobby and the elevators of the Building) or Tenant’s access to the number of parking spaces

Building C

 

provided to Tenant hereunder, are not materially adversely affected thereby, (ii) Tenant’s parking allocation under Article 1 hereof is not reduced thereby, (iii) a minimum of 3.3 parking spaces for each 1,000 net rentable square feet of Leased Premises continue to be located within the area depicted by a curved dotted line on Schedule 2.2(a) attached to this Lease, (iv) Tenant shall have access to: (A) the Cafe & Fitness Center contemplated by Paragraph 2.2(b) below, (B) if applicable, the Exclusive Use Areas described in Paragraph 2.2(c) below, and (v) the exterior Common Area in the proximity of the Building continues to be consistent in quality and design with that existing as of the Effective Date of this Lease.

(b) Additionally, on the Lease Commencement Date, Tenant shall have the right to use the Cafe & Fitness Center solely for the purposes for which they were designed and intended and for no other purposes whatsoever. Tenant’s right to use the Cafe & Fitness Center shall be subject to such reasonable rules and regulations as Landlord or its vendors may issue from time to time, provided that in no event shall Landlord charge Tenant or any Tenant Party a fee for the use of the Cafe & Fitness Center. Tenant’s right to use the Cafe & Fitness Center shall terminate concurrently with any termination of this Lease. Landlord retains the right to relocate the Cafe & Fitness Center to another location on the Project (and change the size of the Cafe & Fitness Center if it is relocated), so long as the Required Conditions are satisfied, the size is not reduced by more than ten percent (10%) and, in the event of any such change, the quality and nature of the facilities provided in the Cafe & Fitness Center at such new location shall not be materially diminished. If Landlord exercises this option, the rentable area of the Leased Premises, Base Monthly Rent, and Tenant’s Building Share and Tenant’s Property Share shall be adjusted accordingly, based on the Premises Measurement Method.

(c) So long as Tenant is leasing at least one (1) full floor of the Building and five (5) full floors of Building D, Tenant will have exclusive access to the areas in the general locations denoted on the Site Plan as “Exclusive Use Areas” (and defined herein as the “Exclusive Use Common Areas”) for purposes of developing its own exterior eating area and two (2) sport courts.

2.3 Lease Commencement Date And Lease Term. Subject to Paragraph 2.4 below, the term of this Lease shall begin, and the Lease Commencement Date shall be deemed to have occurred, on the later of (a) March 1, 2017, (b) the date that the Landlord’s Additional Work is substantially completed, and (c) ninety (90) days after Landlord has delivered the Leased Premises to Tenant in the condition required by Paragraph 2.4(c) below, subject to extension for Landlord Delays (as defined in Paragraph 7of the Work Letter) and for up to twenty (20) days of Unavoidable Tenant Improvement Delays, as defined in Paragraph 8 of the Work Letter (such later date, the “Lease Commencement Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other contrary or inconsistent provision of this Lease, if the date upon which Tenant occupies the Leased Premises for the purpose of conducting business occurs earlier than the Lease Commencement Date as defined in the prior sentence, then such date Tenant so occupies the Leased Premises shall be the Lease Commencement Date. The term of this Lease shall in all events end on the Lease Expiration Date (as set forth in Article 1, as the same may be extended pursuant to Article 15 below); provided, however, that if the Lease Expiration Date of this Lease or the Building D Lease shall not be simultaneous because of any differences in the dates on which Landlord delivers this Leased Premises and the Building D Leased Premises to Tenant, then, at Tenant’s option, which option must be exercised by written notice thereof to Landlord delivered no later than the Lease Commencement Date of the later of such leases to commence, the Lease Expiration Date of this Lease or the Building D Lease, as relevant, shall be extended such that the Lease Expiration Date of both this Lease and the Building D Lease shall be upon the later Lease Expiration Date of this Lease or the Building D Lease. The Lease Term shall be that period of time commencing on the Lease Commencement Date and ending on the Lease Expiration Date (the “Lease Term”). Promptly after the Lease Commencement Date has been determined, Landlord and Tenant shall execute and deliver a Lease Commencement Date Certificate in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto.

2.4 Delivery Of Possession.

(a) Landlord has constructed the Building as described in Paragraph 1(a) of the Work Letter and shall deliver the Leased Premises to Tenant on the date (the “Delivery Date”) that the Landlord’s Additional Work (as defined in Paragraph 1(b) of the Work Letter), but excluding the upgrade of the base building transformer, is substantially completed. Landlord currently estimates that the Delivery Date will occur during the month of November, 2015, and that the upgrade of the base building transformer will be completed during the month of July, 2016.

(b) [Reserved]

(c) In addition, on or prior to March 1, 2017 (as such date may be extended due to Tenant Delays and a maximum of (30) days of such Force Majeure delays), Landlord shall deliver possession of the Leased Premises “Substantially Complete,” defined herein to mean (i) the Building shall have been substantially completed in accordance with the Final Base Building Plans (as defined in Paragraph 1 of the Work Letter) therefor and the City of Santa Clara shall have signed off on the building

permit for the Building, but for minor punch list items, (ii) all Building systems and subsystems described in Exhibit A-1 to the Work Letter, the structural elements of the Leased Premises and the Building, and the foundation of the Building, are in good working order and repair, (iii) all improvements needed for the Building (excluding the Leased Premises) and the Common Areas to be in compliance with the Santa Clara Building Code and the Americans With Disabilities Act have been completed, (iv) the number of parking spaces required by this Lease shall have been completed, (v) the Cafe & Fitness Center shall have been completed and Tenant and the Tenant Parties shall have access thereto and use thereof (which Tenant hereby acknowledges has been completed), (vi) the elevators, stairwells, shared restrooms, ground floor lobby, and associated mechanical, engineering, and plumbing shall have been substantially completed, and (vii) all scaffolding shall have been removed from the Building. Substantial Completion of the Building and Warm Shell Components (as defined in Paragraph 1 of the Work Letter) shall be deemed to have occurred when the City has signed off on the final building permit. Tenant hereby acknowledges for purposes of this Lease (including but not limited to this Paragraph 2.4 and Paragraph 2.8 below) that the Leased Premises and the Warm Shell Components (as defined in the Work Letter) and the Common Areas supporting the Building (as delineated in Paragraph 2.8 below) have been Substantially Completed prior to the Effective Date of this Lease, except only for the completion of the Landlord’s Additional Work.

(d) If by four (4) months after the date set forth in Paragraph 2.4(c) above (as such date may be extended any Tenant Delays and up to thirty (30) days of Force Majeure), Landlord shall not have delivered possession of the Leased Premises Substantially Complete, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord delivered within ten (10) business days of such date (as extended if extended).

(e) Any Tenant Delay during the period after the Delivery Date shall serve to extend the March 1, 2017 date set forth in Paragraph 2.4(c) above on a day-for-day basis.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease or the Work Letter to the contrary, Tenant shall be responsible for payment of all utility charges reasonably attributable to the construction of the Tenant Improvements (and not the Landlord’s Additional Work) relating to the period from the Delivery Date through the Lease Commencement Date, after which Paragraph 3.2 below shall govern.

2.5 Performance Of Tenant Improvement Work; Acceptance Of Possession. Tenant shall, pursuant to the Work Letter, perform the work and make the installations in the Leased Premises substantially as set forth in the Work Letter (such work and installations hereinafter referred to as the “Tenant Improvements”). Subject to the terms of Paragraph 2.8 below, it is agreed that by accepting possession of the Substantially Complete Leased Premises, Tenant agrees that it will have accepted the same and acknowledged that the Leased Premises are in the condition called for under this Lease (including the Work Letter).

2.6 Surrender Of Possession. Immediately prior to 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 (including telecommunications wiring and cabling), trade fixtures, furniture, supplies, wall decorations and other personal property from within the Leased Premises, the Building and the Common Areas, and shall vacate and surrender the Leased Premises, the Building, the Common Areas, the Property, and the Project to Landlord in the same condition, broom clean, as existed at the Lease Commencement Date, reasonable wear and tear and damage caused by Landlord or Landlord’s employees, agents, contractors, or subcontractors (collectively with Landlord, the “Landlord Parties”) and casualty not caused by Tenant or Tenant Parties, excepted. Tenant shall repair all damage to the Leased Premises, the exterior of the Building and the Common 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 or ceiling of the Leased Premises, whether such penetrations were made with Landlord’s approval or not. Tenant shall repair or replace all stained or damaged ceiling tiles, wall coverings and floor coverings to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord. Subject to the terms of Paragraph 9.3 below, Tenant shall repair all damage caused by Tenant to the exterior surface of the Building and the Exclusive Use Common Areas and, where necessary, replace or resurface same. Additionally, to the extent that Landlord shall have notified or is deemed to have notified Tenant in writing at the time the applicable improvements were consented to, that it desired to have certain Non-Standard Office Improvements made by or at the request of Tenant removed at the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease: (A) remove such Non-Standard Office Improvements constructed or installed by Landlord or Tenant (including any backup generator or other mechanical equipment), but only if they had been identified as Non-Standard Office Improvements by Landlord at the time consented to pursuant to Paragraph 6.1 below or the Work Letter, as applicable, and (B) repair all damage caused by such removal. If the Leased Premises, the Building, and the Exclusive Use Common Areas 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/or improvements not so

Building C

 

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 incurred by Landlord in returning the Leased Premises, the Building and the Exclusive Use Common Areas to the required condition, together with interest on all costs so incurred from the date paid by Landlord at the Default Interest Rate until paid. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of all costs so incurred plus such interest thereon, within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s billing Tenant for same. Tenant shall not be required to remove its initial Tenant Improvements constructed pursuant to and in accordance with the Work Letter, except to the extent they constitute “Non-Standard Office Improvements,” defined herein to mean alterations, modifications, and improvements that (i) affect the Building façade or structure, (ii) are other than typical leasehold improvements for office tenants in the Building or in buildings similar to the Building in the area in which the Property is located, or (iii) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment would materially increase Landlord’s cost of preparing the Leased Premises for another tenant (such as, without limitation, interior staircases). As further illustration of items that may or may not be considered Non-Standard Office Improvements: (1) Tenant improvements of a type or quantity that would not be installed by or for a typical tenant using space for general office or research and development purposes, such as internal stairwells or high density mobile filing systems, auditoriums, movie theaters or film projection rooms, private restrooms, data center rooms, swimming pools, basketball courts, laboratories and, supplemental HVAC units or ducting would be considered Non-Standard Office Improvements; and (2) “open ceilings”, kitchens, lunch rooms, cafés, break rooms, small, non-specialized server rooms, and expanded restroom areas built by Tenant would be considered Non-Standard Office Improvements.

2.7 Accessibility. In accordance with California Civil Code section 1938, Landlord hereby informs Tenant that as of the Effective Date of this Lease, neither the Leased Premises nor the Building have been inspected by a Certified Access Specialist (as defined in California Civil Code section 55.52(3)).

2.8 Condition Upon Substantial Completion. Landlord hereby warrants that the Warm Shell Components (as defined in the Work Letter) and the Common Areas supporting the Building, consisting of (i) a minimum of 3.3 parking spaces for each 1,000 net rentable square feet of Leased Premises located within the area depicted by a curved dotted line on Schedule 2.2(a) attached to this Lease, (ii) such sidewalks or paths as are necessary to allow Tenant access from the parking areas to the Building, and (iii) the landscaping in front of the Building (defined for purposes of this Lease as the “Building Specific Common Areas”) shall be in good working condition as of the date of Substantial Completion thereof (the “Substantial Completion Date”). In the event that Tenant believes, and Tenant notifies Landlord in writing within twelve (12) months after the Substantial Completion Date, that the Warm Shell Components or Building Specific Common Areas were not in good working condition and repair on the Substantial Completion Date, then unless Landlord disagrees, Landlord shall, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense (which shall not be deemed a Property Maintenance Cost), repair or replace any failed or inoperable portion of such Warm Shell Components or Building Specific Common Areas, as applicable (“Landlord’s Warranty”), provided that the need to repair or replace was not caused by the misuse, misconduct, damage, destruction, acts, omissions, and/or negligence (collectively, “Tenant Damage”) of Tenant or any Tenant Parties, or by any modifications, alterations, or improvements (including the Tenant Improvements) constructed by or on behalf of Tenant. Landlord’s Warranty shall not be deemed to require Landlord to replace any portion of any Warm Shell Components or Building Specific Common Areas, as applicable, as opposed to repair such portion of such Warm Shell Components or Building Specific Common Areas, as applicable, unless prudent commercial property management practices dictate replacement rather than repair of the item in question. To the extent repairs which Landlord is required to make pursuant to this Paragraph 2.8 are necessitated in part by Tenant Damage and not fully covered by Landlord’s insurance, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for an equitable proportion of the cost of such repair. If it is determined that the Warm Shell Components or Building Specific Common Areas (or any portion thereof) were not in good working condition and repair as of the Substantial Completion Date, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any damages, but Landlord, at no cost to Tenant, shall promptly commence such work or take such other action as may be necessary to place the same in good working condition and repair, and shall thereafter diligently pursue the same to completion; and Landlord shall repair any damage to the Tenant Improvements arising in connection with Landlord’s work. Tenant’s failure to give such written notice to Landlord within twelve (12) months after the Substantial Completion Date shall constitute a conclusive presumption that the Warm Shell Components (or Building Specific Common Areas, as applicable) are in good working condition and repair, and any required correction after that date shall be performed by the party responsible for such repair pursuant to the terms of this Lease; provided, however, the foregoing shall not constitute a waiver by Tenant or a release of Landlord with respect to Landlord’s obligations under this Lease relating to the construction of the Building and the Project. In the event that Tenant notifies Landlord in writing within twelve (12) months after the Substantial Completion Date, that the Warm Shell Components or Building Specific Common Areas were not in good working condition and repair on the Substantial Completion Date, and Landlord disagrees, then Landlord and Tenant shall meet and confer in good faith to try to reach agreement within thirty (30) days, failing which the matter shall be referred to arbitration before a single arbitrator at JAMS in San Francisco.

ARTICLE 3

RENT

3.1 Base Monthly Rent.

(a) Commencing on the Lease Commencement Date (as determined pursuant to Paragraph 2.3 above) and continuing throughout the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, without prior demand therefor, in advance on the first day of each calendar month, cash or other immediately available good funds in the amount set forth as Base Monthly Rent in Article 1.

(b) Base Monthly Rent is not payable during the first nine (9) months of the Lease Term (the “Rent Abatement Period”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord shall have the option (the “Lump Sum Payment Option”) to require Tenant to pay Base Monthly Rent for so much of the Rent Abatement Period as remains following Landlord’s notice as hereinafter provided at the rate of $101,850.90 per month, beginning on the date (the “Base Monthly Rent Start Date”) set forth in the Lump Sum Payment Option Notice (defined below), which shall in no event be a date prior to payment to Tenant of the Abated Rent Lump Sum Payment. To exercise the Lump Sum Payment Option, Landlord must (i) provide written notice to Tenant of such exercise (the “Lump Sum Payment Option Notice”) and (ii) pay to Tenant the Base Monthly Rent that would be payable for the remaining Rent Abatement Period (the “Abated Rent Lump Sum Payment”). If Landlord elects its Lump Sum Payment Option, the Abated Rent Lump Sum Payment shall be made, at Landlord’s election (a) within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s receipt of the Lump Sum Payment Option Notice, or (b) on the closing date of any financing or sale of the Building by Landlord (the date of such payment is hereinafter referred to as the “Lump Sum Payment Date”). If Landlord fails to pay the Abated Rent Lump Sum Payment by the Lump Sum Payment Date or the financing or sale transaction for the Building, if applicable, expires or is terminated or deemed null and void for any reason, Landlord’s exercise of the Lump Sum Payment Option shall be deemed null and void and of no further force or effect and the Abated Rent Lump Sum Payment, if theretofore paid by Landlord to Tenant, shall promptly be returned by Tenant to Landlord. If Landlord’s Lump Sum Payment Notice is effective on a day other than the first day of a calendar month and Landlord has then paid the Abated Rent Lump Sum Payment, then Tenant shall pay any Base Monthly Rent payable hereunder for the period from Landlord’s Lump Sum Payment Option Notice through the last day of the calendar month, with the next installment of Base Monthly Rent due for the following calendar month.

(c) If Landlord exercises its Lump Sum Payment Option in accordance with the above paragraph, Landlord shall prepare an amendment in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto (the “Lump Sum Payment Amendment”) that documents the effect of Landlord’s exercise of the Lump Sum Payment Option and sets forth a revised rent schedule reflecting Tenant’s payment of the Base Monthly Rent for the remaining Rent Abatement Period following the Lump Sum Payment Option Notice. A copy of the Lump Sum Payment Amendment shall be sent to Tenant and Tenant shall execute and return the Lump Sum Payment Amendment to Landlord within ten (10) business days thereafter, but Landlord’s otherwise valid exercise of the Lump Sum Payment Option shall be fully effective whether or not the Lump Sum Payment Amendment is executed.

3.2 Additional Rent. Commencing on the Lease Commencement Date (as determined pursuant to Paragraph 2.3 above) and continuing throughout the Lease Term, in addition to the Base Monthly Rent and to the extent not required by Landlord to be contracted for and paid directly by Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent (the “Additional Rent”), cash or other immediately available good funds in the following amounts:

(a) An amount equal to all Property Operating Expenses (as defined in Article 13) incurred or to be incurred by Landlord. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant Landlord’s reasonable estimate of any given expense (such as Landlord’s Insurance Costs or Real Property Taxes), or group of expenses, which it anticipates will be paid or incurred for the ensuing calendar or fiscal year, as Landlord may determine, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to Tenant’s Building Share or Tenant’s Project Share, as applicable, of the estimated amount of such expenses for such year in equal monthly installments during such year with the installments of Base Monthly Rent. Landlord reserves the right to revise such estimate from time to time but not more than once during the applicable year and, in any event shall provide Tenant with at least one (1) month advance notice of such adjusted estimates taking effect.

(b) Landlord’s share of the consideration received by Tenant upon certain assignments and sublettings as required by Article 7.

(c) Any legal fees and costs that Tenant is obligated to pay or reimburse to Landlord pursuant to Article 13; and

 

10


Building C

 

(d) Any other charges or reimbursements due Landlord from Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time that Tenant leases all of the rentable square footage in the Building, Landlord may elect by written notice to Tenant to have Tenant pay Real Property Taxes or any portion thereof directly to the applicable taxing authority, in which case Tenant shall make such payments and deliver satisfactory evidence of payment to Landlord no later than ten (10) days before such Real Property Taxes become delinquent. In the event Tenant is responsible to pay taxes directly, Landlord shall have no obligation to make such payments, whether or not Landlord receives evidence of payment from Tenant, and Tenant shall in all cases be responsible for any fines, penalties, interest and damages for late payment.

3.3 Year-End Adjustments. Landlord shall furnish to Tenant within four months following the end of the applicable calendar or fiscal year, as the case may be, a statement setting forth (i) the amount of such expenses paid or incurred during the just ended calendar or fiscal year, as appropriate, and (ii) the amount that Tenant has paid to Landlord for credit against such expenses for such period. If Tenant shall have paid more than its obligation for such expenses for the stated period, Landlord shall, at its election, either (i) credit the amount of such overpayment toward the next ensuing payment or payments of Additional Rent that would otherwise be due or (ii) refund in cash to Tenant the amount of such overpayment within thirty (30) days after discovery of such surplus; provided, however, that if this Lease shall have terminated, Landlord shall be deemed to have chosen option (ii) above. If such year-end statement shall show that Tenant did not pay its obligation for such expenses in full, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of such underpayment within thirty (30) days from Landlord’s billing of same to Tenant. Tenant may, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, cause an audit of Landlord’s books and records to determine the accuracy of Landlord’s billings for Property Operating Expenses under this Lease, provided Tenant completes (and delivers to Landlord the written results of) such audit within two hundred seventy (270) days after Tenant’s receipt of the year-end statement described above setting forth the annual reconciliation of the Property Operating Expenses, and provided further that the person or entity performing such audit is not compensated on any type of contingent basis. If such audit reveals that the actual Property Operating Expenses for any given year were less than the amount that Tenant paid for Property Operating Expenses for any such year, then unless Landlord contests such audit results as provided below, Landlord shall credit the excess to Tenant’s next payment of Additional Rent. If such audit reveals that the actual Property Operating Expenses for any given year were more than the amount that Tenant paid for Property Operating Expenses for any such year, Tenant shall pay such amount to Landlord within thirty (30) days after completion of the audit. Landlord shall have the right to contest the results of Tenant’s audit and thereafter promptly have an audit performed (“Landlord’s Audit”) by a certified public accounting firm acceptable to Landlord and Tenant in their reasonable discretion. In such case, the results of Landlord’s Audit shall be binding and conclusive on Landlord and Tenant, and any resulting overpayment or underpayment shall be handled as provided above. If Landlord’s Audit, or Tenant’s audit in the event Landlord does not elect to have Landlord’s Audit performed, confirms that Tenant was overcharged by more than five percent (5%), then Landlord shall pay the cost of Tenant’s audit (up to a maximum of $7,500) and Landlord’s Audit. If Tenant’s audit confirms that Tenant was not overcharged, then Tenant shall pay the cost of Landlord’s Audit (up to a maximum of $7,500) and Tenant’s audit. In all other cases, each party shall pay for its own audit. The provisions of this Paragraph shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

3.4 Late Charge, And Interest On Rent In Default. Tenant acknowledges that the late payment by Tenant of any monthly installment of Base Monthly Rent or any Additional Rent will cause Landlord to incur certain costs and expenses not contemplated under this Lease, the exact amounts of which are extremely difficult or impractical to fix. Such costs and expenses will include without limitation, administration and collection costs and processing and accounting expenses. Therefore, if any installment of Base Monthly Rent is not received by Landlord from Tenant within five (5) calendar days after the same becomes due, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord a late charge in an amount equal to the amount set forth in Article 1 as the “Late Charge Amount,” and if any Additional Rent is not received by Landlord when the same becomes due, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord a late charge in an amount equal to 5% of the Additional Rent not so paid; provided, however, that once but only once in any twelve (12) month period during the Lease Term, Tenant shall be entitled to written notice of non-receipt of Base Monthly Rent or Additional Rent from Landlord, and Tenant shall not be liable for any Late Charge Amount or other late charge hereunder with respect thereto if such installment of Base Monthly Rent or Additional Rent is received by Landlord within three (3) business days after Tenant’s receipt of such written notice from Landlord. Landlord and Tenant agree that this late charge represents a reasonable estimate of such costs and expenses and is fair compensation to Landlord for the anticipated loss Landlord would suffer by reason of Tenant’s failure to make timely payment. In no event shall this provision for a late charge be deemed to grant to Tenant a grace period or extension of time within which to pay any rental installment or prevent Landlord from exercising any right or remedy available to Landlord upon Tenant’s failure to pay each rental installment due under this Lease when due, including the right to terminate this Lease. If any rent remains delinquent for a period in excess of five (5) calendar days, then, in addition to such late charge, Tenant shall pay to Landlord interest on any rent that is not so paid from said fifth (5th) day at the Default Interest Rate until paid.

Building C

 

3.5 Payment Of Rent. Except as specifically provided otherwise in this Lease, all rent shall be paid in lawful money of the United States, without any abatement, reduction or offset for any reason whatsoever, to Landlord at such address as Landlord may designate from time to time at least thirty (30) days in advance of the date the next payment of rent is due. Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Monthly Rent and all Additional Rent shall be appropriately prorated at the commencement and expiration of the Lease Term. The failure by Tenant to pay any Additional Rent as required pursuant to this Lease when due shall be treated the same as a failure by Tenant to pay Base Monthly Rent when due, and Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies against Tenant as Landlord would have had Tenant failed to pay the Base Monthly Rent when due.

ARTICLE 4

USE OF LEASED PREMISES AND COMMON AREA

4.1 Permitted Use. Tenant shall be entitled to use the Leased Premises on a 24/7/365 basis solely for the Permitted Use as set forth in Article 1 and for no other purpose whatsoever. Tenant shall have the right to vacate the Leased Premises at any time during the Term of this Lease, provided Tenant maintains the Leased Premises in the same condition as if fully occupied and as otherwise required by the terms of this Lease. Tenant shall have the right to use the Common Areas in conjunction with its Permitted Use of the Leased Premises solely for the purposes for which they were designed and intended and for no other purposes whatsoever.

4.2 General Limitations On Use. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Leased Premises, the Building, the Common Areas, the Property, or the Project which does or could (i) jeopardize the structural integrity of the Building or (ii) cause damage to any part of the Leased Premises, the Building, the Common Areas, the Property, or the Project. Tenant shall not operate any equipment within the Leased Premises which does or could (A) injure, vibrate or shake the Leased Premises or the Building, (B) damage, overload or impair the efficient operation of any electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems within or servicing the Leased Premises or the Building, or (C) damage or impair the efficient operation of the sprinkler system (if any) within or servicing the Leased Premises or the Building.

4.3 Noise And Emissions. All noise generated by Tenant in its use of the Leased Premises shall be confined or muffled so that it does not interfere with the businesses of or annoy the occupants and/or users of adjacent properties. All dust, fumes, odors and other emissions generated by Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises shall be sufficiently dissipated in accordance with sound environmental practice and exhausted from the Leased Premises in such a manner so as not to interfere with the businesses of or annoy the occupants and/or users of adjacent properties, or cause any damage to the Leased Premises, the Building, the Common Areas, the Property, or the Project or any component part thereof or the property of adjacent property owners.

4.4 Trash Disposal. Landlord shall provide trash bins or other adequate garbage disposal facilities within the trash enclosure areas provided or permitted by Landlord outside the Leased Premises sufficient for the interim disposal of all of its trash, garbage and waste. All such trash, garbage and waste temporarily stored in such areas by Tenant or any of the Tenant Parties shall be stored in such a manner so that it is not visible from outside of such areas. Landlord shall cause such trash, garbage and waste to be regularly removed from the trash bins/garbage disposal facilities and the Property. Subject to the foregoing removal obligation of Landlord, Tenant shall keep the interior of the Leased Premises in a clean, safe and neat condition and shall keep the Common Areas free and clear of all of Tenant’s trash, garbage, waste and/or boxes, pallets and containers containing same at all times.

4.5 Parking. Tenant shall not, at any time, park or permit to be parked any recreational vehicles, inoperative vehicles or equipment in the Common Areas or on any portion of the Project. Tenant agrees to assume responsibility for compliance by its employees and invitees with the parking provisions contained herein. If Tenant or its employees park any vehicle within the Property or the Project in violation of these provisions, then Landlord may, upon prior written notice to Tenant giving Tenant two (2) days (or any applicable statutory notice period, if longer than two (2) days) to remove such vehicle(s), cause the same to be removed at Tenant’s expense. Tenant agrees to assume responsibility for compliance by the Tenant Parties with the parking provisions contained herein. Landlord reserves the right to grant easements and access rights to others for use of the parking areas on the Property and/or Project, provided that the Required Conditions are satisfied. Tenant shall have the right to install electric vehicle charging stations (“ECV Stations”) on the Property in a location acceptable to Landlord in its reasonable discretion, all at Tenant’s sole cost, including but not limited to the cost of running conduit; provided, however, that Tenant may (within sixty (60) days after the Effective Date of this Lease, if at all) request Landlord to provide conduit to up to such number of Tenant’s Exclusive Parking Spaces as Tenant shall request, from the Building electrical room, in which case Landlord shall provide such conduit at Landlord’s sole cost. Further, Tenant may (within sixty (60) days after the Effective Date of this Lease, if at all) request Landlord to provide conduit to up to such number of Tenant’s Additional Exclusive Parking Spaces as Tenant shall request, from the Building electrical room, in which case Landlord shall provide such conduit at Tenant’s sole cost (which may be paid out of the Tenant Improvement Allowance).

4.6 Signs. Tenant shall not place or install on or within any portion of the Leased Premises, the exterior of the Building, the Common Areas, the Property, or the Project any sign, advertisement, banner, placard, or picture which is visible from the exterior of the Leased Premises, except as expressly allowed pursuant to this Paragraph 4.6. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Paragraph 4.6, Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall: (i) have the right to install its name on the lobby directory sign, (ii) be entitled to place its name on the Building top in the location generally as depicted on Exhibit H, and (iii) be entitled to place its name on the Building monument sign generally as depicted on Exhibit H, in all cases in accordance with Landlord’s Building signage program and to the extent approved by the City of Santa Clara. The size, location, and configuration of all signage shall be subject to Landlord’s building standards and its prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and shall be governed by and subject to the rules, regulations and permit requirements of the City of Santa Clara. All of the foregoing rights set forth in this paragraph shall be personal to Aruba Networks, Inc., or a sublessee of more than 50% of the initial Leased Premises, or an assignee, and no other party shall have any such right. Except as provided above, Tenant shall not place or install on or within any portion of the Leased Premises, the exterior of the Building, the Common Areas, the Property, or the Project any business identification sign which is visible from the exterior of the Leased Premises until Landlord shall have approved in writing and in its sole discretion the location, size, content, design, method of attachment and material to be used in the making of such sign; provided, however, that so long as such signs are normal and customary business directional or identification signs within the Building, Tenant shall not be required to obtain Landlord’s approval. Any sign, once approved by Landlord, shall be installed at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and only in strict compliance with Landlord’s approval and any applicable Laws and Restrictions, using a person approved by Landlord to install same. Landlord may remove any signs (which have not been approved in writing by Landlord), advertisements, banners, placards or pictures so placed by Tenant on or within the Leased Premises, the exterior of the Building, the Common Areas, the Property, or the Project 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 shall remove all of Tenant’s signs, repair any damage caused thereby, and restore the surface upon which the sign was affixed to its original condition, all to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction, upon the termination of this Lease. Notwithstanding the signage rights granted to Tenant pursuant to this Paragraph 4.6, Landlord reserves and retains the right to place Landlord’s name and/or ownership affiliation in or on the Leased Premises, the Building, the Common Areas, the Property, or the Project, or on any of the signs located thereon, as determined in Landlord’s sole discretion.

4.7 Compliance With Laws And Restrictions.

Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

4.8 Compliance With Insurance Requirements. 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 Leased Premises, the Building, the Common Areas, the Property, or the Project 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. 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 coverages carried by either Landlord or Tenant pursuant to this Lease.

4.9 Landlord’s Right To Enter. Landlord and its agents shall have the right to enter the Leased Premises during normal business hours after giving Tenant reasonable notice (which shall be prior written notice except in the event of a circumstance which Landlord in good faith believes to be an emergency) and subject to Tenant’s reasonable security measures for the purpose of (i) inspecting the same; (ii) showing the Leased Premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagees or, during the last nine (9) months of the Lease Term or during any period that Tenant is in monetary or material non-monetary default beyond the applicable cure period, if any, expressly set forth in this Lease, tenants; (iii) making necessary alterations, additions or repairs; and (iv) performing any of Tenant’s obligations when Tenant has failed to do so after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period expressly set forth in this Lease.

Landlord shall have the right to enter the Common Areas during normal business hours for purposes of (i) inspecting the exterior of the Building and the Common Areas; (ii) posting notices of nonresponsibility (and for such purposes Tenant shall provide Landlord at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of any work to be performed on the Leased Premises, as well as notice within one (1) day after the commencement of such work); and (iii) supplying any services to be provided by Landlord. Landlord shall also have the right, upon reasonable advance notice to Tenant, to access the Building’s vertical risers and the interstitial space above Tenant’s acoustical ceiling to connect new utility and communications lines from other floors to the base Building utility lines; all of such work shall be done after hours or on weekends. Any entry into the Leased Premises or the Common 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 Leased Premises, or an eviction, actual or constructive of Tenant from the Leased Premises or any portion thereof. Landlord shall conduct all of Landlord’s activities on the Leased Premises during such period of entry in a manner designed to cause minimal interference to Tenant and Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises.

4.10 Use Of Common Areas. Tenant, in its use of the Common Areas, shall at all times keep the Common Areas clear of Tenant’s and the Tenant Parties’ materials, equipment, debris, trash (except within existing enclosed trash areas), inoperable vehicles, and other items 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 Common 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. Landlord reserves the right to grant easements and access rights to others for use of the Common Areas so long as the Required Conditions are satisfied, and shall not be liable to Tenant for any diminution in Tenant’s right to use the Common Areas as a result.

Tenant shall not store, use or dispose of any Hazardous Materials except for ordinary office and cleaning supplies used in compliance with all Laws and Restrictions (“Office & Cleaning Supplies”). In no event shall Tenant cause, or permit to be discharged by any of the Tenant Parties, into the plumbing or sewage system of the Building or onto the land underlying or adjacent to the Building, any Hazardous Materials. 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 reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of or in connection with Tenant’s storage, use and/or disposal of Hazardous Materials at the Project. If the presence of Hazardous Materials on the Leased Premises caused by Tenant or any of the Tenant Parties results in contamination or deterioration of water or soil, then Tenant shall promptly take any and all action necessary to clean up such contamination, but the foregoing shall in no event be deemed to constitute permission by Landlord to allow the presence of such Hazardous Materials. 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 Leased 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 Leased Premises. Tenant shall further 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 any removal, cleanup and restoration work and materials required hereunder to return the Leased Premises and any other property of whatever nature to their condition existing prior to the appearance of the Hazardous Materials, to the extent such Hazardous Materials were introduced to the Property or the Project by Tenant or any of the Tenant Parties.

(c) Upon termination or expiration of the Lease Term, Tenant at its sole expense shall cause all Hazardous Materials placed in or about the Leased Premises, the Building and/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 of the Tenant Parties relating to the storage, use, disposal or transportation of Hazardous Materials 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 Materials used or permitted to be used by Tenant. If Tenant uses any Hazardous Materials other than Office & Cleaning Supplies, then 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 the Project and shall take all other actions as may be required to complete the closure of the Building, the Property, and the Project.

(d) At any time prior to expiration of the Lease Term, subject to reasonable prior notice (not less than forty-eight (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 Leased Premises, Landlord shall have the right to enter in and upon the Property, Building and Leased Premises in order to conduct appropriate tests of water and soil to determine whether levels of any Hazardous Materials 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

Materials in the soil or surface or ground water in, on, under, or about the Property, the Building or the Leased Premises, which has been caused by or resulted from the activities of Tenant or any of the Tenant Parties.

(e) Landlord may voluntarily cooperate in a reasonable manner with the efforts of all governmental agencies in reducing actual or potential environmental damage. 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 cooperate fully with the requirements and recommendations of governmental agencies regulating, or otherwise involved in, the protection of the environment, provided that Tenant is not required to incur any liability or more than de minimus expense in connection therewith.

4.12 Rules And Regulations. Landlord shall have the right from time to time to establish reasonable and non-discriminatory rules and regulations and/or amendments or additions thereto respecting the use of the Building and the Common Areas for the care and orderly management of the Property. No rules and regulations shall require Tenant to pay rent nor shall any such rules and regulations apply retroactively. Upon delivery to Tenant of a copy of such rules and regulations or any amendments or additions thereto, Tenant shall comply with such rules and regulations. A violation by Tenant of any of such rules and regulations shall constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease. If there is a conflict between the rules and regulations and any of the provisions of this Lease, the provisions of this Lease shall prevail. Landlord shall not be responsible or liable to Tenant for the violation of such rules and regulations by any other tenant of the Property.

4.13 Reservations. 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 unreasonably interfere with the use of the Leased Premises by Tenant and the Required Conditions are satisfied. Tenant agrees to execute any documents reasonably requested by Landlord to effectuate any such easement rights, dedications, maps or restrictions.

4.14 Roof. Subject to Paragraph 2.1 above, notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Landlord hereby reserves to itself and its other tenants in the Project all rights of access, use and occupancy of the Building roof, and Tenant shall have no right of access, use or occupancy of the Building roof except (if at all) to the extent provided in this Paragraph 4.14. Landlord will designate a portion of the roof to hold a rooftop equipment pad (a “Roof Pad”) for installations by tenants of the Building (the “Available Rooftop Space”). Tenant shall be entitled to utilize Tenant’s Building Share of the Available Rooftop Space as follows:

(a) Subject to Tenant’s restoration and repair obligations under Paragraph 2.6, Tenant at its sole cost and expense shall have the right to install within Tenant’s Building Share of the Available Rooftop Space, mechanical and electrical equipment and satellite dishes, television antennas, and related cable connections (collectively, “Rooftop Equipment”) required in connection with Tenant’s own business and communications and data transmission network, in an area to be reasonably agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant in the Available Rooftop Space, provided such installation does not impact the structural integrity of the Building, is not inconsistent with the Project aesthetics, and does not void or negatively impact any applicable warranties.

(b) Tenant shall supply Landlord with detailed plans and specifications of the Rooftop Equipment prior to the installation thereof for Landlord’s review and approval. Furthermore, Tenant shall have secured Landlord’s approval and the approval of all governmental authorities and all permits required by governmental authorities having jurisdiction over such approvals and permits for the Rooftop Equipment, and shall provide copies of such approvals and permits to Landlord prior to commencing any work with respect to such Rooftop Equipment. Tenant shall pay for any and all costs and expenses in connection with, and shall repair all damage to the roof resulting from, the installation, maintenance, use and removal of the Rooftop Equipment.

Landlord will reasonably cooperate with Tenant (at Tenant’s expense) to: (i) expand the Roof Pad or add a second Roof Pad to accommodate Tenant’s additional supplemental equipment, and/or (ii) locate an equipment pad on the ground in close proximity to Building; provided however, if all or a portion of such equipment pad is located in the parking areas, then the number of parking spaces lost by virtue of the equipment pad shall nonetheless be counted toward the total number of parking spaces to which Tenant is entitled pursuant to this Lease.

4.15 Back-Up Generator. Subject to complying with Paragraphs 2.6 and 6.1, Tenant shall have the right to install a backup generator and certain other mechanical equipment in the Available Rooftop Space or in another location mutually agreed to by the parties, subject to Landlord’s approval in its sole but good faith discretion, of its design (including aesthetic screening) and construction, and of any connections between the Leased Premises and such generator and any penetrations to the Building walls,

roof, or structure required in connection therewith. If such backup generator or other mechanical equipment is located on any parking areas on the Project, then such lost parking spaces shall be counted towards satisfying Tenant’s parking allocation under Article 1 hereof.

ARTICLE 5

REPAIRS, MAINTENANCE, SERVICES AND UTILITIES

5.1 Repair And Maintenance. Except in the case of damage to or destruction of the Leased Premises, the Building, the Common Areas, the Property, or the Project caused by an act of God or other peril, in which case the provisions of Article 10 shall control, the parties shall have the following obligations and responsibilities with respect to the repair and maintenance of the Leased Premises, the Building, the Common Areas,, the Property, and the Project.

(a) Tenant’s Obligations. 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 interior, non-structural portions of the Leased Premises and every part thereof, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) all interior walls, floors and ceilings, (ii) all interior windows, doors and skylights, (iii) all electrical wiring, conduits, connectors and fixtures within the Leased Premises, (iv) all interior sinks, toilets, and faucets and, to the extent serving just the Leased Premises, plumbing, pipes, and drains, (v) all interior lighting fixtures, bulbs and lamps, (vi) any back-up generator(s), HVAC equipment, or other equipment installed by or at the request of Tenant, (vii) all entranceways to the Leased Premises with respect to which Tenant and the Tenant Parties have exclusive access rights, and (viii) the Building elevator(s) during any period that Tenant is leasing the entire rentable square footage of the Building; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be required to maintain, repair, and replace those items which are Landlord’s obligation to maintain, repair, and replace pursuant to Paragraph 5.1(b) below. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, provide for its own janitorial service for the Leased Premises. Subject to Paragraph 9.3 below, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, repair all damage to the Leased Premises, the Building, the Common Areas, the Property, or the Project caused by the activities of Tenant or any of the 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 the notice and cure periods specified in Paragraph 12.1(b) below, 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 costs so incurred by Landlord for same. All interior glass within or a part of the Leased Premises 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.

(b) Landlord’s Obligation. Landlord shall, at all times during the Lease Term, maintain in good condition and repair the Common Areas, the foundation, slabs, roof structure and membrane, curtain walls and load-bearing and exterior walls of the Building, and (i) HVAC equipment (except as described in clause (vi) of Paragraph 5.1(a) above), and (ii) plumbing, pipes, and drains, to the extent the items described in clauses (i) and (ii), serve both the Leased Premises and other portions of the Property. Landlord may hire a licensed HVAC contractor to regularly and periodically inspect and perform required maintenance on the HVAC equipment and systems serving the Leased Premises and/or the Building. Landlord may also hire a licensed roofing contractor to regularly and periodically inspect and perform required maintenance on the roof of the Building. Landlord shall keep the Common Areas in a clean condition. Landlord shall regularly and periodically sweep and clean the driveways and parking areas. Unless necessitated by the acts or omissions of Tenant or any of the Tenant Parties (subject to the terms of Paragraph 9.3 below), Landlord shall make any necessary (x) structural repairs or structural replacements to the Leased Premises and (y) repairs or replacements to (i) any fire alarm and communication system in the Leased Premises installed by Landlord, (ii) the electrical, plumbing, and mechanical portions of the Warm Shell Components as defined in the Work Letter), (iii) the Building elevator(s) except during any period that Tenant is leasing the entire rentable square footage of the Building, and (iv) any sprinkler system installed by Landlord in the Leased Premises; if any of the foregoing are necessitated by the acts or negligent or wrongful omissions of Tenant or any of the Tenant Parties (subject to Paragraph 9.3 below), Tenant shall reimburse to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the applicable invoices, the cost incurred by Landlord in connection therewith. The provisions of this subparagraph (b) shall in no way limit the right of Landlord to charge to Tenant, as Additional Rent pursuant to Article 3, the costs incurred by Landlord in performing such maintenance and/or inspections, and/or in making such repairs or replacements; provided, however, that (1) Tenant shall not be responsible for any capital repairs or replacements costing over $10,000 individually, which are incurred by Landlord during the initial, unextended Lease Term, except to the extent such capital repairs or replacements are necessitated by Tenant’s breach of this Lease), and (2) with respect to capital repairs or replacements costing less than $10,000 individually during the initial, unextended Lease Term, Tenant shall pay the full amount thereof until in any twelve (12) month period Tenant has paid $50,000 on such capital repairs or replacements, and thereafter for the balance of such twelve (12) month period, Landlord shall pay for such capital repairs or replacements and the cost incurred by Landlord, including interest at a rate equal to the Standard Interest Rate, shall be amortized by Landlord over the useful life of such capital

 

17


Building C

 

repairs or replacements, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the monthly amortized cost of such capital repairs or replacements as so amortized shall be considered a Property Maintenance Cost. The entire foregoing proviso shall expire and be of no further force or effect after the initial unextended Lease Term has expired (i.e., it shall not be applicable during any extension periods).

5.2 Utilities.

(a) Landlord has arranged at its sole cost and expense and in its own name, for the supply of gas, water, and electricity to the Building, but shall not have responsibility for the delivery same to Tenant. Landlord is currently working with Silicon Valley Power Company (“SVP”) to upgrade the Building transformer to provide 4,000 amps based upon Tenant requiring twenty-five (25) watts per rentable square foot of electrical power for Tenant’s ground floor electrical servers and the other equipment Tenant intends to utilize in the Leased Premises. The final size of the transformer upgrade will be determined by SVP based upon its assessment of Tenant’s needs, and Landlord shall at its sole cost expense pay the cost of such upgrade up to the foregoing 4,000 amps, and if applicable, Tenant shall pay for the cost to upgrade beyond 4,000 amps. Tenant shall, at its sole expense, install all 24-hour HVAC units, chillers, other such equipment, related ducting, and other items as are required in order to properly service Tenant’s ground floor equipment and to separately meter the ground floor equipment electrical use, including Tenant’s above standard HVAC. Tenant shall connect all Tenant-installed ground floor improvements solely to Tenant’s separate meter and shall contract directly with SVP for electrical supply to the ground floor equipment and related HVAC. Tenant shall not use the Building HVAC for any of Tenant’s ground floor equipment. 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 Leased Premises are adequate for Tenant’s needs. Tenant shall be responsible for determining if the existing sanitary and storm sewer systems now servicing the Leased Premises 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 Leased Premises, irrespective of whether or not the services are maintained in Landlord’s or Tenant’s name.

(b) Landlord has installed or shall, at its sole expense, install sub-meters and connect them to the Building energy management system to monitor Tenant’s electric use (other than that which Tenant is required to separately meter and contract for directly pursuant to Paragraph 5.2(a) above). Upon Tenant’s request either (x) via the energy management system serving the Leased Premises, or (y) during Building Standard Hours, by 10:00 a.m. on any day for after-hours usage on that same day, and by 10:00 a.m. on Friday for after-hours usage on weekends or holidays, and subject to the payment obligations described below, Landlord agrees to make HVAC available to Tenant outside of Building Standard Hours for Tenant’s typical office use.

(c) Tenant shall pay: (i) for all of its consumption of electricity, gas and water within the Leased Premises, either directly pursuant to Paragraph 5.2(a) above or as reasonably determined by Landlord based on the data from the sub-meter for electricity, and on a pro rata basis for gas and water service; and (ii) subject to Paragraph 5.2(d) below, (A) Tenant’s Building Share of all Building utilities relating to HVAC, elevators, and Common Areas within the Building consumed during Building Standard Hours, and (B) Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the actual cost (including depreciation over the useful life of the item in question) for all of such utilities described in clause (ii)(A) consumed by Tenant outside of Building Standard Hours as reasonably determined by Landlord based on the number of tenants utilizing such utilities, the relative square footages of their respective leased premises, and the duration of their use. In no event shall the cost charged to Tenant for utilities used after Building Standard Hours include any profit or mark-up to Landlord. There shall be no minimum number of hours required in charging Tenant such cost for utilities used after Building Standard Hours. Costs of utilities payable to Landlord (as opposed to those costs payable by Tenant directly to SVP) shall be paid by Tenant within twenty (20) days after invoice therefor from time to time, or, at Landlord’s option, with respect to utility costs other than after hours HVAC and submetered electricity, shall be included in Property Maintenance Costs or, with respect to the portion of electricity use that is submetered, shall be paid in estimated monthly installments subject to annual reconciliation in like fashion as for Property Maintenance Costs.

(d) The costs to be paid by Tenant to Landlord Paragraph 5.2(c) above (as opposed to directly pursuant to Paragraph 5.2(a) above) are based on Tenant’s HVAC use being what is currently typical of office users for heating and cooling of generic office space, and on such use specifically excluding continuous, near continuous, or heavy use (“Above-Standard Use”) of the HVAC. Any Above-Standard Use (e.g., uses such as network operations centers, server rooms, and data centers) will require dedicated HVAC and separately metered utilities. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, and in accordance with Article 6 below, will contract for directly and cause to be installed any such dedicated HVAC equipment (including separate meters), and shall be solely responsible for all ongoing maintenance, service, repairs, replacements, and utility charges related to such dedicated HVAC.

5.3 Security. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has not undertaken any duty whatsoever to provide security for the Leased Premises, the Building, the Common Areas, the Property, or the Project and, accordingly, Landlord is not responsible for the security of same or the protection of Tenant’s property or any of the Tenant Parties from any cause whatsoever, including but not limited to criminal and/or terrorist acts. 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. In the event Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion agrees to provide any security services, whether it be guard service or access systems or otherwise, Landlord shall do so strictly as an accommodation to Tenant and Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever in connection therewith, whether it be for failure to maintain the secure access system, or for failure of the guard service to provide adequate security, or otherwise. Without limitation, Paragraph 8.1 below is intended by Tenant and Landlord to apply to this Paragraph 5.3.

5.4 Energy And Resource Consumption.

(a) Energy Consumption Reduction Efforts. Tenant shall comply with the Building Energy Management System and Utility Metering requirements set forth in the Work Letter. In addition, 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. 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 (i) in order to maximize the efficient operation of the electrical, and HVAC systems and all other energy or other resource consumption systems with the Property and the Project and/or (ii) in order to comply with the recommendations of utility suppliers and governmental agencies regulating the consumption of energy and/or other resources.

(b) Tenant Utility Usage Data Reporting. If Tenant is billed directly by a utility company with respect to Tenant’s electricity and natural gas/propane usage data at the Leased Premises, then, promptly following Landlord’s written request, Tenant shall provide its monthly electricity and natural gas/propane usage data for the Leased Premises to Landlord for the period of time requested by Landlord (in electronic or paper format) or, at Landlord’s option, provide any written authorization or other documentation required for Landlord to request information regarding Tenant’s electricity and natural gas/propane usage data with respect to the Leased Premises directly from the utility company.

5.5 Limitation Of Landlord’s Liability. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for injury to Tenant or any of the Tenant Parties, or damage to property of Tenant or any Tenant Parties, or loss of Tenant’s or any Tenant Parties’ business or profits, nor shall Tenant be entitled to terminate this Lease or to any reduction in or abatement of rent, except as provided for below, by reason of (i) Landlord’s failure to provide security services or systems within the Property or the Project for the protection of the Leased Premises, the Building or the Common Areas, or the protection of Tenant’s property or any of the Tenant Parties, or (ii) Landlord’s failure to perform any maintenance or repairs to the Leased Premises, the Building, the Common Areas, the Property, or the Project within the notice and cure periods set forth in Paragraph 12.3 below, or (iii) any failure, interruption, rationing or other curtailment in the supply of water, electric current, gas or other utility service to the Leased Premises, the Building, the Common Areas, the Property, or the Project from whatever cause (other than Landlord’s active gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (iv) the unauthorized intrusion or entry into the Leased Premises by third parties (other than Landlord). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, the Leased Premises or any portion thereof as a result of a Trigger Event (as defined below), then Tenant shall give Landlord written notice thereof and if such Trigger Event continues for five (5) consecutive business days (such period herein called the “Eligibility Period”), then Tenant’s Base Monthly Rent and Tenant’s obligation to pay Project Operating Expenses shall be abated or reduced, as the case may be, after expiration of the Eligibility Period for such period of time that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not actually use, the Leased Premises or a portion thereof, in the proportion that the rentable area of the portion of the Leased Premises that Tenant is prevented from using bears to the total rentable area of the Leased Premises. As used herein, the term “Trigger Event” means any of the following events: (1) any failure by Landlord to provide Tenant with access to the Leased Premises or the Project that materially impacts or interrupts Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises, unless such failure is a result of any Laws or Restrictions, (2) Landlord’s failure to perform Landlord’s repair and maintenance obligations hereunder if such failure continues beyond any applicable notice and cure period and (3) a disruption of utilities to the Leased Premises, and such disruption is caused solely by the intentional acts, negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any of Landlord’s Parties.

ARTICLE 6

Non-Standard Office Improvements until Landlord shall have first approved, in writing, the plans and specifications therefor, which approval may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion as to Non-Standard Office Improvements which affect the Building façade, structure, or systems, and otherwise such approval may be withheld in Landlord’s reasonable discretion. Landlord’s written approval shall, if applicable, also contain Landlord’s election to require Tenant to remove the subject Non-Standard Office Improvements at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, in which event Tenant shall be obligated to do so. All modifications, alterations or improvements shall be made, constructed or installed by Tenant at Tenant’s expense (including all permit fees and governmental charges related thereto), using a licensed contractor first approved by Landlord which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, in substantial compliance with the Landlord-approved plans and specifications therefor. All work undertaken by Tenant shall be done in accordance with all Laws and Restrictions and in a good and workmanlike manner using new materials of good quality.

As used in this Article, the term “modifications, alterations and/or improvements” shall include, without limitation, the installation of additional electrical outlets, overhead lighting fixtures, drains, sinks, partitions, doorways, or the like. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant, without Landlord’s prior written consent, shall be permitted to make alterations to the Leased Premises which are not Non-Standard Office Improvements provided that: (a) Tenant shall timely provide Landlord the notices required pursuant to Paragraph 4.9 above, (b) Tenant shall have secured the approval of all governmental authorities and all permits required by governmental authorities having jurisdiction over such approvals and permits for such alterations, and shall provide copies of such approvals and permits to Landlord prior to commencing any work with respect to such alterations, and (c) Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing within thirty (30) days of completion of the alteration and deliver to Landlord a set of the plans and specifications therefor, either “as built” or marked to show construction changes made.

6.2 Ownership Of Improvements. All modifications, alterations and improvements made or added to the Leased Premises by Tenant (other than Tenant’s inventory, equipment, movable furniture, wall decorations and trade fixtures) shall be deemed real property and a part of the Leased Premises, but shall remain the property of Tenant during the Lease Term (which includes any extension(s) thereof pursuant to Article 15 below, if applicable). At the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, all such modifications, alterations and improvements other than Tenant’s inventory, equipment, movable furniture, wall decorations and trade fixtures, shall automatically become the property of Landlord and shall be surrendered to Landlord as part of the Leased Premises as required pursuant to Article 2, unless Landlord shall require Tenant to remove any of such modifications, alterations or improvements which constitute Non-Standard Office Improvements in accordance with the provisions of Article 2, in which case Tenant shall so remove same. Landlord shall have no obligations to reimburse Tenant for all or any portion of the cost or value of any such modifications, alterations or improvements so surrendered to Landlord. All modifications, alterations or improvements which are installed or constructed on or attached to the Leased Premises by Landlord and/or at Landlord’s expense shall be deemed real property and a part of the Leased Premises and shall be property of Landlord; provided, however, that the Tenant Improvements (as defined in Paragraph 2 of the Work Letter) shall become Landlord’s property only upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term. All lighting, plumbing, electrical, HVAC fixtures, partitioning, window coverings, wall coverings and floor coverings installed by Tenant shall be deemed improvements to the Leased Premises and not trade fixtures of Tenant.

6.3 Alterations Required By Law.

(a) Landlord at its sole cost shall make all modifications, alterations and improvements to the Building, the Property, or the Project, that are required by any governmental authority at any time due to the base Building constructed by Landlord not having been in compliance with the Laws then applicable governing its construction.

(b) Tenant at its sole cost shall make all modifications, alterations and improvements to the Leased Premises, the Building, the Common Areas, the Property, or the Project that are required by any Law because of (i) Tenant’s particular use or occupancy of the Leased Premises, the Building, the Common Areas, the Property, or the Project (as opposed to the Permitted Use generally), (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 Leased Premises.

Building C

 

(c) If Landlord shall, at any time during the Lease Term, be required by any governmental authority or Law to make any modifications, alterations or improvements to the Building, the Property, or the Project, the cost incurred by Landlord in making such modifications, alterations or improvements, including interest at a rate equal to the Standard Interest Rate shall 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. For purposes of this paragraph 6.3(c) only, the useful life of the applicable modifications, alterations or improvements shall be a minimum of fifteen (15) years, and in no event shall Tenant be required to pay more than $100,000 per year on account of any monthly amortization payments arising pursuant to this paragraph 6.3(c).

6.4 Liens. Tenant shall keep the Property and the Project and every part thereof free from any lien, and shall pay when due all bills arising out of any work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred by Tenant, its agents, employees or contractors relating to the Property. If any such claim of lien is recorded against Tenant’s interest in this Lease, the Property or any part thereof, Tenant shall bond against, discharge or otherwise cause such lien to be entirely released within ten (10) days after the same has been recorded. Tenant’s failure to do so shall be conclusively deemed a material default under the terms of this Lease.

ARTICLE 7

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING BY TENANT

7.1 By Tenant. Tenant shall not sublet the Leased Premises or any portion thereof or assign its interest in this Lease, or permit the occupancy of the Premises by other than Tenant, whether voluntarily or by operation of Law, without Landlord’s prior written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall be given within the time periods set forth in Paragraph 7.3 below. Any attempted subletting or assignment, or occupancy of the Leased Premises by other than Tenant, without Landlord’s prior written consent, at Landlord’s election, shall constitute a default by Tenant under the terms of this Lease. The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any person or entity other than Tenant, or the acceptance of rent by Landlord from Tenant with knowledge of a violation of the provisions of this paragraph, shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Article or this Lease or to be a consent to any subletting by Tenant or any assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Lease. Without limiting the circumstances in which it may be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to an assignment or subletting, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent in the following instances:

(a) the proposed assignee or sublessee is a governmental agency;

(b) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, the use of the Leased Premises by the proposed assignee or sublessee would involve occupancy other than for a Permitted Use, would entail any alterations which would lessen the value of the leasehold improvements in the Leased Premises, or would require increased services by Landlord;

(c) the credit-worthiness of the proposed assignee does not meet the credit standards applied by Landlord, which standards shall take into account the fact that Aruba Networks, Inc. continues to be liable for the obligations of the assignee under this Lease;

(d) the proposed assignee or sublessee (or any of its affiliates) has been in material default under a lease, has been in litigation with a previous landlord, or in the ten (10) years prior to the assignment or sublease has filed for bankruptcy protection, has been the subject of an involuntary bankruptcy, or has been adjudged insolvent;

(e) Landlord (or any of its affiliates) has experienced a previous default by or is in litigation with the proposed assignee or sublessee (or any of their affiliates);

(f) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, the Leased Premises, or the relevant part thereof, will be used in a manner that will violate any negative covenant as to use contained in this Lease;

(g) the use of the Leased Premises by the proposed assignee or sublessee will violate any Law or Restriction;

(h) the proposed assignee or sublessee is a tenant at the Project and there is competing space available within the Project which is suitable for the needs of such assignee or sublessee;

(i) the proposed assignment or sublease fails to include all of the terms and provisions required to be included therein pursuant to this Article 7;

 

21


Building C

 

(j) Tenant is in monetary or material non-monetary default of any obligation of Tenant under this Lease; or

(k) in the case of a subletting of less than the entire Leased Premises, if the subletting would result in the division of the Leased Premises into more than two subparcels or would require improvements to be made outside of the Leased Premises.

7.2 Merger, Reorganization, or Sale of Assets.

(a) Subject to Paragraphs 7.2(b) and 7.9 below: Any dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant, or the sale or other transfer in the aggregate over the Lease Term of a controlling percentage of the capital stock of or other equity interests in Tenant, or the sale or transfer of all or a substantial portion of the assets of Tenant, shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Lease. The phrase “controlling percentage” means the direct or indirect ownership of or right to vote (i) stock possessing more than fifty percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of Tenant’s capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote for the election of directors, or (ii) equity interests possessing the ability to direct the management of Tenant. If Tenant is a partnership, a withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of Law, of any general partner, or the dissolution of the partnership, shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Lease. Upon Landlord’s request from time to time, Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with a statement certified by the Tenant’s chief executive officer or chief operating officer, which shall provide the following information: (i) the names of all of Tenant’s shareholders and their ownership interests at the time thereof, provided Tenant’s shares are not publicly traded; (ii) the state in which Tenant is incorporated; (iii) the location of Tenant’s principal place of business; (iv) information regarding a material change in the corporate structure of Tenant, including, without limitation, a merger or consolidation; and (v) any other information regarding Tenant’s ownership that Landlord reasonably requests. In the event of an acquisition by one entity of the controlling percentage of the capital stock of Tenant where this Lease is not assigned to and assumed in full by such entity, it shall be a condition to Landlord’s consent to such change in control that such entity acquiring the controlling percentage assume, as a primary obligor, all rights and obligations of Tenant under this Lease (and such entity shall execute all documents reasonably required to effectuate such assumption).

(b) Notwithstanding subparagraph (a) above, over-the-counter stock market transactions shall not be deemed to be assignments under this Lease. In addition, provided that the conditions described below in this sentence have been satisfied prior to or upon such assignment or subleasing, Tenant may, without Landlord’s prior written consent, sublet the Leased Premises or assign this Lease to a “Permitted Transferee,” defined herein as (i) a subsidiary, affiliate, division, corporation or joint venture controlling, controlled by or under common control with Tenant, (ii) a successor entity resulting from a merger, consolidation, or nonbankruptcy reorganization by Tenant, or (iii) a purchaser of substantially all of Tenant’s assets, provided in all cases (i), (ii) and (iii) that (A) the successor entity, assignee, purchaser or subtenant has a net worth equal to or greater than those of Tenant prior to the Effective Date of this Lease and a liquid net worth sufficient for Tenant to continually perform its obligations under the Lease, and assumes in writing for the benefit of Landlord, this Lease and all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, and (B) the entity with the greatest net worth involved directly or indirectly in the ownership and/or control of the acquiring, merged, reorganized, or consolidated entity (hereafter, the “Assignee Affiliate”) shall have unconditionally assumed in writing or guaranteed for the benefit of Landlord, in a form acceptable to Landlord, this Lease and all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. If any assignment or subleasing occurs without such an assumption and/or without Landlord’s consent as provided in Paragraph 7.1 above, Tenant shall be deemed for all purposes to be in material default under this Lease and the Assignee Affiliate (and the successor entity, assignee, purchaser or subtenant) shall for all purposes be deemed to have unconditionally assumed in writing for the benefit of Landlord, this Lease and all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. In all events, Tenant shall remain fully liable under this Lease.

7.3 Landlord’s Election. Except as provided for in Paragraph 7.2 above and Paragraph 7.9 below, if Tenant shall desire to assign its interest under the Lease or to sublet the Leased Premises, Tenant must first notify Landlord, in writing, of its intent to so assign or sublet, at least twenty (20) days in advance of taking any action with respect thereto. Once Tenant has identified a potential assignee or sublessee, Tenant shall notify Landlord, in writing, of its intent to so assign or sublet, at least twenty (20) days in advance of the date it intends to so assign its interest in this Lease or sublet the Leased Premises but not sooner than one hundred eighty (180) days in advance of such date, specifying in detail the terms of such proposed assignment or subletting, including the name of the proposed assignee or sublessee, the proposed assignee’s or sublessee’s intended use of the Leased Premises, current financial statements (including a balance sheet, income statement and statement of cash flow, all prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; provided, however, that, if applicable with respect to a proposed sublessee, during any period that the proposed sublessee actually does not prepare its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, then financial statements prepared and reviewed by a reputable, third-party, independent certified public accountant shall suffice) of such

 

22


Building C

 

proposed assignee or sublessee, the signed letter of intent or term sheet containing the material terms of such assignment or subletting, and such other information as Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord shall have a period of ten (10) business days following receipt of such notice and the required information within which to do one of the following: (i) consent to such requested assignment or subletting subject to Tenant’s compliance with the conditions set forth in Paragraph 7.4 below, or (ii) refuse to so consent to such requested assignment or subletting, provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably refused, or (iii) terminate this Lease in the case of an assignment, or (in the case of a sublease for a term expiring less than six (6) months from the Lease Expiration Date and which would bring the total square footage subject to subleases to more than 50% of the Leased Premises’ square footage), terminate this Lease as to the proposed sublease premises, such termination to be effective on the date specified in Tenant’s notice as the intended effective date of the assignment or subletting. During such ten (10) business day period, Tenant covenants and agrees to supply to Landlord, upon request, all necessary or relevant information which Landlord may reasonably request respecting such proposed assignment or subletting and/or the proposed assignee or sublessee. In the event of an election to terminate this Lease by Landlord under clause (iii) above, Landlord shall have the right to enter into a direct lease with the proposed assignee or sublessee without payment of any consideration to Tenant. If Landlord fails to respond by the end of such ten (10) business day period to Tenant’s request for consent to any proposed Transfer, Tenant may send a second (2nd) request to Landlord, which request must contain the following inscription, in 14 point font and bold faced lettering: “SECOND NOTICE DELIVERED PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH 7.3 OF LEASE—FAILURE TO TIMELY RESPOND WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS SHALL RESULT IN DEEMED APPROVAL OF ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLEASE.” If Tenant sends such a second request, and Landlord fails to respond within five (5) business days after its receipt of same, the proposed assignment or subletting shall be deemed approved. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Landlord exercises Landlord’s right to terminate this Lease then Tenant may revoke Tenant’s request to transfer this Lease or a portion of the Leased Premises and thus end Landlord’s termination right by providing Landlord with written notice thereof within five (5) business days after receipt of Landlord’s termination notice.

7.4 Conditions To Landlord’s Consent. If Landlord elects to consent, or shall have been ordered to so consent by a court of competent jurisdiction, to such requested assignment or subletting, such consent shall be expressly conditioned upon the occurrence of each of the conditions below set forth, and any purported assignment or subletting made or ordered prior to the full and complete satisfaction of each of the following conditions shall be void and, at the election of Landlord, which election may be exercised at any time following such a purported assignment or subletting but prior to the satisfaction of each of the stated conditions, shall constitute a material default by Tenant under this Lease until cured by satisfying in full each such condition by the assignee or sublessee. The conditions are as follows:

(a) Landlord having approved in form and substance the assignment or sublease agreement and any ancillary documents, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld by Landlord if the requirements of this Article 7 are otherwise complied with.

(b) Each such sublessee or assignee having agreed, in writing satisfactory to Landlord and its counsel and for the benefit of Landlord, to assume, to be bound by, and to perform the obligations of this Lease to be performed by Tenant which relate to space being subleased.

(c) Tenant having fully and completely performed all of its obligations under the terms of this Lease through and including the date of such assignment or subletting.

(d) Tenant having reimbursed to Landlord all reasonable costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord in conjunction with the processing and documentation of any such requested subletting or assignment. Tenant shall be obligated to so reimburse Landlord whether or not such subletting or assignment is completed.

(e) Tenant having delivered to Landlord a complete and fully-executed duplicate original of such sublease agreement or assignment agreement (as applicable) and all related agreements.

(f) Tenant having paid, or having agreed in writing to pay as to future payments, to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of all assignment consideration or excess rentals to be paid to Tenant or to any other on Tenant’s behalf or for Tenant’s benefit for such assignment or subletting as follows:

(i) If Tenant assigns its interest under this Lease and if all or a portion of the consideration for such assignment is to be paid by the assignee at the time of the assignment, that Tenant shall have paid to Landlord and Landlord shall have received an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the assignment consideration so paid or to be paid (whichever is the greater) at the time of the assignment by the assignee; or

(ii) If Tenant assigns its interest under this Lease and if Tenant is to receive all or a portion of the consideration for such assignment in future installments, that Tenant and Tenant’s

 

23


Building C

 

assignee shall have entered into a written agreement with and for the benefit of Landlord satisfactory to Landlord and its counsel whereby Tenant and Tenant’s assignee jointly agree to pay to Landlord an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of all such future assignment consideration installments to be paid by such assignee as and when such assignment consideration is so paid; or

(iii) If Tenant subleases the Leased Premises, that Tenant and Tenant’s sublessee shall have entered into a written agreement with and for the benefit of Landlord satisfactory to Landlord and its counsel whereby Tenant and Tenant’s sublessee jointly agree to pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of all excess rentals to be paid by such sublessee.

7.5 Assignment Consideration And Excess Rentals Defined. For purposes of this Article, including any amendment to this Article by way of addendum or other writing: (i) the term “assignment consideration” shall mean all consideration to be paid by the assignee to Tenant or to any other party on Tenant’s behalf or for Tenant’s benefit as consideration for such assignment, without deduction for any costs or expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with such assignment, except that Tenant may deduct third party, market rate leasing commissions and legal fees paid, and tenant improvement costs incurred, in connection with the assignment, in which case the amount thereof may be deducted with the balance to be paid to Landlord, and (ii) the term “excess rentals” shall mean all consideration to be paid by the sublessee to Tenant or to any other party on Tenant’s behalf or for Tenant’s benefit for the sublease of all or any part of the Leased Premises in excess of the rent due to Landlord under the terms of this Lease for the portion subleased for the same period, without deduction for any costs or expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with such sublease, except that Tenant may deduct third party, market rate leasing commissions and legal fees paid, and tenant improvement costs incurred, in connection with the sublease, in which case the amount thereof may be deducted with the balance to be paid to Landlord. Tenant agrees that the portion of any assignment consideration and/or excess rentals arising from any assignment or subletting by Tenant which is to be paid to Landlord pursuant to this Article now is and shall then be the property of Landlord and not the property of Tenant.

7.6 Payments. All payments required by this Article to be made to Landlord shall be made in cash in full as and when they become due. At the time Tenant, Tenant’s assignee or sublessee makes each such payment to Landlord, Tenant or Tenant’s assignee or sublessee, as the case may be, shall deliver to Landlord an itemized statement in reasonable detail showing the method by which the amount due Landlord was calculated and certified by the party making such payment as true and correct.

7.7 Good Faith. The rights granted to Tenant by this Article are granted in consideration of Tenant’s express covenant, which Tenant hereby makes, that all pertinent allocations which are made by Tenant between the rental value of the Leased Premises and the value of any of Tenant’s personal property which may be conveyed or leased (or services provided) generally concurrently with and which may reasonably be considered a part of the same transaction as the permitted assignment or subletting shall be made fairly, honestly and in good faith. If Tenant shall breach this covenant, Landlord may immediately declare Tenant to be in default under the terms of this Lease and terminate this Lease and/or exercise any other rights and remedies Landlord would have under the terms of this Lease in the case of a material default by Tenant under this Lease.

7.8 Effect Of Landlord’s Consent. No subletting or assignment, even with the consent of Landlord, shall relieve Tenant of its personal and primary obligation to pay rent and to perform all of the other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder, and Aruba Networks, Inc. hereby agrees as follows in connection with any assignment of this Lease:

(a) The liability of Aruba Networks, Inc. under this Lease shall be primary, and in any right of action which shall accrue to Landlord under this Lease, Landlord may, at its option, proceed against Aruba Networks, Inc. without having commenced any action or obtained any judgment against an assignee. Aruba Networks, Inc. further agrees that it may be joined in any action against an assignee in connection with the said obligations of assignee and recovery may be had against Aruba Networks, Inc. in any such action. Aruba Networks, Inc. hereby expressly waives the benefits and defenses under California Civil Code Sections 2821, 2839, 2847, 2848, 2849 and 2855 to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

(b) If an assignee is in default of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord may proceed against either Aruba Networks, Inc. or the assignee, or both, or Landlord may enforce against Aruba Networks, Inc. or the assignee any rights that Landlord has under the Lease, in equity or under applicable law. If the Lease terminates due to an assignees default or bankruptcy or similar debtor protection law, Landlord may enforce this Lease against Aruba Networks, Inc., even if Landlord would be unable to enforce it against the assignee. Aruba Networks, Inc. specifically agrees and understands that Landlord may proceed forthwith and immediately against an assignee or against Aruba Networks, Inc. following any default by an assignee. Aruba Networks, Inc. hereby waives all benefits and defenses under California Civil Code Sections 2845, 2848, 2849 and 2850, including without limitation: (i) the right to require Landlord to proceed against an assignee, proceed against or exhaust any security that

 

24


Building C

 

Landlord holds from an assignee or pursue any other remedy in Landlord’s power; (ii) any defense to its obligations hereunder based on the termination or limitation of an assignee’s liability; and (iii) all notices of the existence, creation, or incurring of new or additional obligations. Landlord shall have the right to enforce this Lease regardless of the release or discharge of an assignee by Landlord or by operation of any law relating to protection of debtors, bankruptcy, assignments for the benefit of creditors, or insolvency.

(c) The obligations of Aruba Networks, Inc. under this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Aruba Networks, Inc. shall not be discharged or limited by any of the following events with respect to an assignee or Aruba Networks, Inc.: (i) insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization arrangement, adjustment, composition, assignment for the benefits of creditors, liquidation, winding up or dissolution (each a “Financial Proceeding”); of (ii) any merger, acquisition, consolidation or change in entity structure, or any sale, lease, transfer, or other disposition of any entity’s assets, or any sale or other transfer of interests in the entity (each an “Event of Reorganization”); or (iii) any sale, exchange, assignment, hypothecation or other transfer, in whole or in part, of Landlord’s interest in the Leased Premises or the Lease. Without limiting the foregoing, Aruba Networks, Inc. hereby expressly waives the benefits and defenses under any statute or judicial decision (including but not limited to the case styled In Re Arden, 176 F. 3d 1226 (9th Cir. 1999)) that would otherwise (i.e., were it not for such waiver) permit Aruba Networks, Inc. to claim or obtain the benefit of any so called “capped claim” available to an assignee in any Financial Proceeding. If all or any portion of the obligations guaranteed hereunder are paid or performed and all or any part of such payment or performance is avoided or recovered, directly or indirectly, from Landlord as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, then Aruba Networks, Inc.’s obligations hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect as to any such avoided or recovered payment or performance.

(d) The provisions of this Lease may be changed by agreement between Landlord and an assignee without the consent of or notice to Aruba Networks, Inc. This Lease may be assigned by Landlord or an assignee, and the Leased Premises, or a portion thereof, may be sublet by an assignee, all in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, without the consent of or notice to Aruba Networks, Inc. Aruba Networks, Inc. shall remain primarily liable for the performance of the Lease so assigned. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Aruba Networks, Inc. waives the rights and benefits of California Civil Code Sections 2819 and 2820 with respect to any change to the Lease between Landlord and an assignee, and agrees that by doing so Aruba Networks, Inc.’s liability shall continue even if (i) Landlord and an assignee alter any Lease obligations, or (ii) Aruba Networks, Inc.’s remedies or rights against an assignee are impaired or suspended without Aruba Networks, Inc.’s consent by such alteration of Lease obligations.

Consent by Landlord to one or more assignments of Tenant’s interest in this Lease or to one or more sublettings of the Leased Premises shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. No subtenant shall have any right to assign its sublease or to further sublet any portion of the sublet premises or to permit any portion of the sublet premises to be used or occupied by any other party. No sublease may be terminated or modified during any period that Tenant is in monetary or material non-monetary default under this Lease, without Landlord’s prior written consent. If Landlord shall have been ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction to consent to a requested assignment or subletting, or such an assignment or subletting shall have been ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction over the objection of Landlord, such assignment or subletting shall not be binding between the assignee (or sublessee) and Landlord until such time as all conditions set forth in Paragraph 7.4 above have been fully satisfied (to the extent not then satisfied) by the assignee or sublessee, including, without limitation, the payment to Landlord of all agreed assignment considerations and/or excess rentals then due Landlord.

7.9 Permitted Occupants. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Article 7, Tenant shall have the right, without the receipt of Landlord’s consent and without payment to Landlord of any amounts under Paragraph 7.5 above, to permit the occupancy of up to ten thousand (10,000) rentable square feet of space in the Leased Premises, in the aggregate, to any individual(s) or entity (collectively, “Permitted Occupants”) that has an ongoing business relationship with Tenant (other than the dual occupancy of the Leased Premises), which occupancy shall include the use of a corresponding interior support area and other portions of the Leased Premises and Common Areas (including the parking facilities and the Cafe & Fitness Center) which shall be common to Tenant and the Permitted Occupants, on and subject to the following conditions: (i) each Permitted Occupant shall be of a character and reputation consistent with the quality of the Building and the Project; (ii) no Permitted Occupant shall occupy a separately demised portion of the Leased Premises or which contains an entrance to such portion of the Leased Premises other than the primary entrance to the Leased Premises; (iii) such occupancy shall not be a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Lease or the restrictions on Transfers or allocation of excess Base Monthly Rent pursuant to this Article 7; (iv) Tenant shall not permit such use by any entity or organization in a manner such that the density of use of any portion of the Leased Premises would materially and adversely increase the strain on the Building Systems beyond the manufacturer’s recommended specifications therefor or would violate any Laws, including but not limited to fire codes; and (v) the Permitted Occupants shall obtain all permits and licenses required by Laws for occupying and use of the Leased Premises, if such permits and licenses are

 

25


Building C

 

needed in addition to those held by Tenant; (vi) the Permitted Occupants shall be subject to and subordinate to all of the terms and provisions of this Lease; and (vii) no such occupancy shall relieve Tenant from any liability under this Lease. Each Permitted Occupant shall be deemed to be a Tenant Party. Tenant shall promptly supply Landlord with any documents or information reasonably requested by Landlord regarding the identity of any such Permitted Occupants. Any occupancy permitted under this Paragraph 7.9 shall not be deemed a transfer under this Article 7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such occupancy shall relieve Tenant from any liability under this Lease.

ARTICLE 8

(viii) With respect to making of any alterations or modifications or the construction of improvements or the like undertaken by Tenant, course of construction, commercial general liability, automobile liability and workers’ compensation (to be carried by Tenant’s contractor), in an amount and with coverage reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.

(b) Each policy of liability insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this paragraph or actually carried by Tenant with respect to the Leased Premises, the Property, or the Project: (i) shall, except with respect to insurance required by subparagraphs (a)(ii) and (a)(viii) above, name Landlord, and such Landlord affiliates as are designated by Landlord, as additional insureds; (ii) [reserved]; (iii) shall be primary insurance providing that the insurer shall be liable for the full amount of the loss, up to and including the total amount of liability set forth in the declaration of coverage, without the right of contribution from or prior payment by any other insurance coverage of Landlord; (iv) shall be carried with companies with Best’s ratings of at least A and XI; (v) shall provide that such policy shall not be subject to cancellation, lapse or change except after at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord, and (vi) shall contain a so-called “severability” or “cross liability” endorsement. Each policy of property insurance maintained by Tenant with respect to the Leased Premises, the Property, or the Project or any property therein (i) shall provide that such policy shall not be subject to cancellation except after at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord and (ii) shall contain a waiver and/or a permission to waive by the insurer of any right of subrogation against Landlord, its partners, principals, members, managers, officers, employees, agents and contractors, which might arise by reason of any payment under such policy or by reason of any act or omission of Landlord, its partners, principals, members, managers, officers, employees, agents and contractors.

(c) Prior to the time Tenant or any of its contractors enters the Leased Premises, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, with respect to each policy of insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Article, a certificate of the insurer certifying in form satisfactory to Landlord that a policy has been issued, premium paid, providing the coverage required by this Paragraph and containing the provisions specified herein. With respect to each renewal or replacement of any such insurance, the requirements of this Paragraph must be complied with not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration or cancellation of the policies being renewed or replaced. Landlord may, at any time and from time to time, inspect and/or copy any and all insurance policies required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Article. If Landlord’s Lender or insurance advisor reasonably determines at any time that the amount of coverage set forth in Paragraph 9.1(a) for any policy of insurance Tenant is required to carry pursuant to this Article is not adequate, then Tenant shall increase the amount of coverage for such insurance to such greater amount as Landlord’s Lender or insurance advisor reasonably deems adequate; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be required to increase such amount beyond (i) with respect to increases determined by Landlord’s Lender, the amount(s) actually required by Landlord’s Lender, and (ii) with respect to increases determined by Landlord’s insurance advisor, the amount(s) then being required or carried by other prudent landlords in the Santa Clara or Sunnyvale area. In the event Tenant does not maintain said insurance, Landlord may, in its sole discretion and without waiving any other remedies hereunder, send to Tenant written notice of such failure, and if such failure is not remedied within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice, then Landlord may procure said insurance and Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent the cost of said insurance plus a five percent (5%) administrative fee.

9.2 Landlord’s Insurance. With respect to insurance maintained by Landlord:

 

27


Building C

 

(a) Landlord shall maintain, as the minimum coverage required of it by this Lease, fire and property damage insurance in so-called special form coverage insuring Landlord (and such others as Landlord may designate) against loss from physical damage to the Building with coverage of not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the full actual replacement cost thereof and against loss of rents for a period of not less than six months. Such fire and property damage insurance, at Landlord’s election but without any requirements on Landlord’s behalf to do so, (i) may be written in so-called “all risk” form, excluding only those perils commonly excluded from such coverage by Landlord’s then property damage insurer; (ii) may provide coverage for physical damage to the improvements so insured for up to the entire full actual replacement cost thereof; (iii) may be endorsed to cover loss or damage caused by any additional perils against which Landlord may elect to insure, including earthquake and/or flood; and/or (iv) may provide coverage for loss of rents for a period of up to twelve months. Landlord shall not be required to cause such insurance to cover any of Tenant’s personal property, inventory, and trade fixtures, or any modifications, alterations or improvements made or constructed by Tenant to or within the Leased Premises. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such insurance at competitive rates. Any earthquake insurance carried by Landlord for the Building or the Project may be a blanket insurance coverage policy covering the Project and other office buildings owned by Landlord or Landlord’s affiliates, and shall be a blanket policy during any period that Landlord is a Menlo Equities affiliate and such a blanket policy is more economical than an individual earthquake policy.

(b) Landlord shall maintain commercial general liability insurance insuring Landlord (and such others as are designated by Landlord) against liability for personal injury, bodily injury, death, and damage to property occurring in, on or about, or resulting from the use or occupancy of the Property, or any portion thereof, with combined single limit coverage of at least Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000). Landlord may carry such greater coverage as Landlord or Landlord’s Lender or insurance advisor may from time to time determine is reasonably necessary for the adequate protection of Landlord, the Property, and the Project provided such insurance is commonly carried by owners of property similarly situated and operating under similar circumstances.

(c) Landlord may maintain boiler and machinery insurance to limits sufficient to restore the Building.

(d) Landlord may maintain any other insurance which in the opinion of its insurance advisor is prudent to carry under the given circumstances, provided such insurance is commonly carried by owners of property similarly situated and operating under similar circumstances.

9.3 Mutual Waiver Of Subrogation. Landlord hereby releases Tenant, and Tenant hereby releases Landlord and its respective partners, principals, members, officers, agents, employees and servants, from any and all liability for loss, damage or injury to the property of the other in or about the Leased Premises, the Property, or the Project which is caused by or results from a peril or event or happening which is covered by insurance actually carried and in force at the time of the loss by the party sustaining such loss.

ARTICLE 10

DAMAGE TO LEASED PREMISES

10.1 Landlord’s Duty To Restore. If the Leased Premises, the Building or the Common Areas (including, without limitation, the Cafe & Fitness Center) are damaged by any peril after the Effective Date of this Lease, Landlord shall restore the same, as and when required by this paragraph, unless this Lease is terminated by Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 10.3 or by Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 10.4. If this Lease is not so terminated, then upon the issuance of all necessary governmental permits, Landlord shall commence and diligently prosecute to completion the restoration of the Leased Premises, the Building or the Common Area, as the case may be, to the extent then allowed by law, to substantially the same condition in which it existed as of the Lease Commencement Date. Landlord’s obligation to restore shall be limited to the improvements constructed by Landlord. Landlord shall have no obligation to restore any alterations, modifications or improvements made by Tenant to the Leased Premises or any of Tenant’s personal property, inventory or trade fixtures. Upon completion of the restoration by Landlord, Tenant shall forthwith replace or fully repair all of the Tenant Improvements to like or similar conditions as existed at the time immediately prior to such damage or destruction.

10.2 Insurance Proceeds. All insurance proceeds available from the fire and property damage insurance carried by Landlord shall be paid to and become the property of Landlord. If this Lease is terminated pursuant to either Paragraph 10.3 or 10.4, all insurance proceeds available from insurance carried by Tenant which cover loss of Tenant’s Alterations shall be paid to and become the property of Tenant. With respect to insurance proceeds payable under Tenant’s insurance policies for damage or destruction to the Tenant Improvements, Landlord and Tenant shall share such proceeds in accordance with their relative contributions to the initial cost thereof. For example, if the Tenant Improvements were to cost a total of $130 per rentable square foot, and Landlord were to have contributed a total of $65 per rentable square foot on the Tenant Improvements, then Landlord and Tenant would share such proceeds equally. The determination of Landlord’s property and Tenant’s property shall be made pursuant to Paragraph 6.2.

Building C

 

10.3 Landlord’s Right To Terminate. Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease in the event any of the following occurs, which option may be exercised only by delivery to Tenant of a written notice of election to terminate within thirty (30) days after the date of such damage or destruction:

(a) The Building is damaged by any peril covered by valid and collectible insurance actually carried by Landlord and in force at the time of such damage or destruction (or any insurance Landlord was required to carry pursuant to the terms of this Lease) to such an extent that the estimated cost to restore the Building exceeds the lesser of (i) the insurance proceeds available from insurance actually carried by Landlord, or (ii) fifty percent of the then actual replacement cost thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may override Landlord’s election to terminate the Lease pursuant to clause (i) above if Tenant shall agree in writing within ten (10) days after receipt of Landlord’s notice electing to terminate this Lease to pay any costs of restoration to the extent such costs exceed the amount of any insurance proceeds received by Landlord (the “Casualty Shortfall Amount”), in which event Landlord cannot terminate this Lease and must rebuild the areas affected by the Casualty; provided, however, that if Tenant exercises such election, Tenant shall enter into an agreement with Landlord pursuant to which Tenant will covenant to deposit into an escrow or, to the extent required by any lender with a lien on the Leased Premises, with such lender the Casualty Shortfall Amount on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to Landlord. In addition, if Tenant elects to override Landlord’s election to terminate this Lease as provided above, Tenant shall execute and deliver to any such lender any documents reasonably required by such lender to evidence Tenant’s intention to keep this Lease in full force and effect.

(b) The Building is damaged by an uninsured peril, which peril Landlord was not required to, and did not, insure against pursuant to the provisions of Article 9 of this Lease.

(c) The Building is damaged by any peril and, because of the Laws or Restrictions then in force, the Building, if restored, cannot be used for the same use being made thereof before such damage.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Leased Premises is not affected by the casualty in question, then Landlord may not terminate this Lease unless it terminates the leases of all of the other tenants of the Building.

10.4 Tenant’s Right To Terminate. If the Leased Premises, the Building or the Common Area are damaged by any peril and Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease or is not entitled to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Article, then as soon as reasonably practicable, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with the written opinion of Landlord’s architect or construction consultant as to when the restoration work required of Landlord may be complete. Landlord agrees to provide such opinion to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date of damage if reasonably practicable; otherwise, Landlord will provide a written status report to Tenant within such 30-day period and shall subsequently issue a final opinion to Tenant within ten (10) days of the date on which Landlord determines the availability of permits to rebuild and the date on which Landlord determines the availability of insurance proceeds to rebuild, whichever is later. Will Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease (if Tenant is not then in monetary or material non-monetary default) in the event any of the following occurs, which option may be exercised only by delivery to Landlord of a written notice of election to terminate within thirty (30) days after Tenant receives from Landlord the estimate of the time needed to complete such restoration:

(a) If the time estimated to substantially complete the restoration exceeds twelve months from and after the date the architect’s or construction consultant’s written opinion is delivered; or

(b) If the damage occurred within eighteen months of the last day of the Lease Term and the time estimated to substantially complete the restoration exceeds one hundred eighty (180) days from and after the date such restoration is commenced.

(c) In addition, if the damage was not caused by the actions or omissions of Tenant or any of Tenant’s Parties, Tenant may terminate this Lease if the Leased Premises or any portions of the Common Area providing access to or parking for the Leased Premises are damaged by a casualty to the extent that Tenant does not have reasonable access to or parking for the Leased Premises and Landlord has not within a reasonable time (not to exceed ninety (90) days from the date of the casualty) provided a reasonable parking alternative for Tenant at the Project or in offsite areas within reasonable proximity to the Building and Tenant is not actually using the Leased Premises as a result thereof.

10.5 Tenant’s Waiver. Landlord and Tenant agree that the provisions of Paragraph 10.4 above, captioned “Tenant’s Right To Terminate”, are intended to supersede and replace the provisions

Building C

 

contained in California Civil Code, Section 1932, Subdivision 2, and California Civil Code, Section 1933, and accordingly, Tenant hereby waives the provisions of such Civil Code Sections and the provisions of any successor Civil Code Sections or similar laws hereinafter enacted.

10.6 Abatement Of Rent. In the event of damage to the Leased Premises which does not result in the termination of this Lease, then the Base Monthly Rent (and any Additional Rent) shall be temporarily abated during the period of Landlord’s and/or Tenant’s (as applicable) restoration, in proportion in the degree to which Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises during the restoration period is impaired by such damage. In addition, if such casualty shall have damaged the Building or any portion of the Common Area providing access to or parking for the Leased Premises are damaged by casualty to the extent that Tenant does not have reasonable access to or parking for the Leased Premises and Landlord has not within a reasonable time (not to exceed ninety (90) days from the date of casualty) provided a reasonable parking alternative for Tenant at the Project or within reasonable proximity to the Building, then Landlord shall allow Tenant a proportionate abatement of Base Monthly Rent and Property Operating Expenses during the time and to the extent the Leased Premises are unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Lease, or any portions of the Common Area providing access to or parking for the Leased Premises are damaged by Casualty to the extent that Tenant does not have reasonable access to or parking for the Leased Premises, and in any of those events the Leased Premises are not occupied by Tenant as a result thereof. If a casualty: (i) shall have damaged the parking facilities so that Tenant does not have reasonable access to or parking for the Leased Premises, then, subject to Laws, Restrictions and the rights of other tenants, Landlord shall use good faith efforts to explore reasonable parking alternatives for Tenant at the Project or in offsite areas within reasonable proximity to the Building, and, in such event, Landlord shall be responsible for the costs of providing a shuttle to and from such offsite Parking and the Building, provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to create any obligation of Landlord to incur significant expense or liability in doing so, (ii) shall have damaged the Cafe & Fitness Center, then, subject to Laws, Restrictions and the rights of other tenants, Tenant shall have no obligation to pay any Property Operating Expenses associated with such facilities, and Landlord shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant to explore options for Tenant’s employees exercise elsewhere in the Project, until such facilities are rebuilt, and/or (iii) shall have damaged a portion of the Common Areas necessary for Tenant’s access to the Building, then, subject to Laws, Restrictions and the rights of other tenants, Landlord shall use good faith efforts to explore reasonable alternative means of access to the Building at the Project with Tenant, provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to create any obligation of Landlord to incur significant expense or liability in doing so.

In the event of any default by Tenant, and without limiting Landlord’s right to indemnification as provided in Article 8.2, Landlord shall have the following remedies, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by law or otherwise provided in this Lease, to which Landlord may resort cumulatively, or in the alternative:

(a) Landlord may, at Landlord’s election, keep this Lease in effect and enforce, by an action at law or in equity, all of its rights and remedies under this Lease including, without limitation, (i) the right to recover the rent and other sums as they become due by appropriate legal action, (ii) the right to make payments required by Tenant, or perform Tenant’s obligations and be reimbursed by Tenant for the cost thereof with interest at a rate equal to the Default Interest Rate from the date the sum is paid by Landlord until Landlord is reimbursed by Tenant, and (iii) the remedies of injunctive relief and specific performance to prevent Tenant from violating the terms of this Lease and/or to compel Tenant to perform its obligations under this Lease, as the case may be.

Any termination under this subparagraph shall not relieve Tenant from its obligation to pay to Landlord all Base Monthly Rent and Additional Rent then or thereafter due, or any other sums due or thereafter accruing to Landlord, or from any claim against Tenant for damages previously accrued or then or thereafter accruing. In no event shall any one or more of the following actions by Landlord, in the absence of a written election by Landlord to terminate this Lease constitute a termination of this Lease:

(i) Appointment of a receiver or keeper in order to protect Landlord’s interest hereunder;

(ii) Consent to any subletting of the Leased Premises or assignment of this Lease by Tenant, whether pursuant to the provisions hereof or otherwise; or

(iii) Any action taken by Landlord or its partners, principals, members, officers, agents, employees, or servants, which is intended to mitigate the adverse effects of any breach of this Lease by Tenant, including, without limitation, any action taken to maintain and preserve the Leased Premises on any action taken to relet the Leased Premises or any portion thereof for the account at Tenant and in the name of Tenant.

(c) In the event Tenant breaches this Lease and abandons the Leased Premises, Landlord may terminate this Lease, but this Lease shall not terminate unless Landlord gives Tenant written notice of termination. If Landlord does not terminate this Lease by giving written notice of termination, Landlord may enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right and remedies provided by 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 right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations”), as in effect on the Effective Date of this Lease.

Building C

 

(d) In the event Landlord terminates this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled, at Landlord’s election, to the rights and remedies provided in California Civil Code Section 1951.2, as in effect on the Effective Date of this Lease. For purposes of computing damages pursuant to Section 1951.2, an interest rate equal to the Default Interest Rate shall be used. Such damages shall include, without limitation:

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

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

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

(iv) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including without limitation, the following: (i) expenses for cleaning, repairing or restoring the Leased Premises, (ii) expenses for altering, remodeling or otherwise improving the Leased Premises for the purpose of reletting, including removal of existing leasehold improvements and/or installation of additional leasehold improvements (regardless of how the same is funded, including reduction of rent, a direct payment or allowance to a new tenant, or otherwise), (iii) broker’s fees allocable to the remainder of the term of this Lease, advertising costs and other expenses of reletting the Leased Premises; (iv) costs of carrying and maintaining the Leased Premises, such as taxes, insurance premiums, utility charges and security precautions (although the foregoing shall not in any way modify Paragraph 5.3 above), (v) expenses incurred in removing, disposing of and/or storing any of Tenant’s personal property, inventory or trade fixtures remaining therein; (vi) reasonable attorney’s fees, expert witness fees, court costs and other reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord (but not limited to taxable costs) in retaking possession of the Leased Premises, establishing damages hereunder, and releasing the Leased Premises; and (vii) any other expenses, costs or damages otherwise incurred or suffered as a result of Tenant’s default.

(e) Pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161.1, Landlord may accept a partial payment of Rent after serving a notice pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161, and may without further notice to the Tenant, commence and pursue an action to recover the difference between the amount demanded in that notice and the payment actually received. This acceptance of such a partial payment of Rent does not constitute a waiver of any rights, including any right the Landlord may have to recover possession of the Leased Premises. Further, Tenant agrees that any notice given by Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 12.1 of the Lease shall satisfy the requirements for notice under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161, and Landlord shall not be required to give any additional notice in order to be entitled to commence an unlawful detainer proceeding.

12.3 Landlord’s Default And Tenant’s Remedies.

(a) In the event Landlord fails to perform its obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall nevertheless not be in default under the terms of this Lease until such time as Tenant shall have first given Landlord written notice specifying the nature of such failure to perform its obligations, and then only after Landlord shall have had thirty (30) days following its receipt of such notice within which to perform such obligations; provided that, if longer than thirty (30) days is reasonably required in order to perform such obligations, Landlord shall have such longer period. In the event of Landlord’s default as above set forth, then, and only then, Tenant may then proceed in equity or at law to compel Landlord to perform its obligations and/or to recover damages proximately caused by such failure to perform (except as and to the extent Tenant has waived its right to damages as provided in this Lease).

(b) Subparagraph (a) above shall also be applicable if Landlord (or its affiliate) and Tenant (or its affiliate) are the landlord and tenant, respectively, under the Building D Lease and Landlord (or its affiliate) is in default of its obligations under the Building D Lease. This subparagraph (b) shall automatically terminate and be void and of no force or effect at any time that either (i) Landlord (or its affiliate) is not the landlord under the Building D Lease, or (ii) Paragraph 12.1(i) above has been deleted pursuant to and in accordance with such Paragraph 12.1(i); provided, however, that if at any time Paragraph 12.1(i) is reinstated pursuant to and in accordance with such Paragraph 12.1(i), then this subparagraph (b) shall be reinstated as well.

12.4 Limitation Of Tenant’s Recourse. Tenant’s sole recourse against Landlord shall be to Landlord’s interest in the Project and the revenues, insurance proceeds and condemnation awards therefrom; provided, however, that in no event shall Tenant have recourse to any sums distributed to Landlord’s members or manager(s) in the ordinary course of business (including but not limited to sale or refinancing proceeds distributed upon a sale or refinancing, as applicable). If Landlord is a corporation, trust, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, unincorporated association, or other form of business entity, Tenant agrees that (i) the obligations of Landlord under this Lease shall not constitute personal obligations of the officers, directors, trustees, partners, joint venturers, members, managers, owners, stockholders, or other principals of such business entity, and (ii) Tenant shall have recourse only to the interest of such corporation, trust, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, unincorporated association, or other form of business entity in the Building and the Common Areas for the satisfaction of such obligations and not against the assets of such officers, directors, trustees, partners, joint venturers, members, managers, owners, stockholders or principals. Additionally, if Landlord is a partnership or limited liability company, then Tenant covenants and agrees:

(a) No partner, manager, or member of Landlord shall be sued or named as a party in any suit or action brought by Tenant with respect to any alleged breach of this Lease (except to the extent necessary to secure jurisdiction over the partnership or limited liability company and then only for that sole purpose);

(b) No service of process shall be made against any partner, manager, or member of Landlord except for the sole purpose of securing jurisdiction over the partnership; and

(c) No writ of execution will ever be levied against the assets of any partner, manager, or member of Landlord other than to the extent of his or her interest in the assets of the partnership or limited liability company constituting Landlord.

Tenant further agrees that each of the foregoing covenants and agreements shall be enforceable by Landlord and by any partner or manager or member of Landlord and shall be applicable to any actual or alleged misrepresentation or nondisclosure made regarding this Lease or the Leased Premises or any actual or alleged failure, default or breach of any covenant or agreement either expressly or implicitly contained in this Lease or imposed by statute or at common law.

12.5 Limitation Of Tenant’s Recourse. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall not be liable to Landlord for consequential or special damages, except that this sentence (i) shall not limit the indemnification obligations of Tenant hereunder with respect to third party claims, (ii) shall not apply to claims for the breach by Tenant of Tenant’s obligations under Paragraph 4.11, (iii) shall not limit Landlord’s right to recover from Tenant, (a) damages for Tenant’s breach of this Lease as described in Paragraph 12.2 above, to the extent recoverable from Tenant under applicable Laws, or (b) consequential damages if Tenant holds over after the Lease Expiration Date or prior termination of this Lease, provided that Landlord delivers to Tenant a Vacation Notice as and when required by Paragraph 13.2.

12.6 Tenant’s Waiver. Landlord and Tenant agree that the provisions of Paragraph 12.3 above are intended to supersede and replace the provisions of California Civil Code Sections 1932(1), 1941 and 1942, and accordingly, Tenant hereby waives the provisions of California Civil Code Sections 1932(1), 1941 and 1942 and/or any similar or successor law regarding Tenant’s right to terminate this Lease or to make repairs and deduct the expenses of such repairs from the rent due under this Lease.

ARTICLE 13

GENERAL PROVISIONS

13.1 Taxes On Tenant’s Property. Tenant shall pay before delinquency any and all taxes, assessments, license fees, use fees, permit fees and public charges of whatever nature or description levied, assessed or imposed against Tenant or Landlord by a governmental agency arising out of, caused by reason of or based upon Tenant’s estate in this Lease, Tenant’s ownership of property, improvements made by Tenant to the Leased Premises or the Common Areas, improvements made by Landlord for Tenant’s use within the Leased Premises or the Common Areas, Tenant’s use (or estimated use) of public facilities or services or Tenant’s consumption (or estimated consumption) of public utilities, energy, water or other resources (collectively, “Tenant’s Interest”). Upon demand by Landlord, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with satisfactory evidence of these payments. If any such taxes, assessments, fees or public charges are levied against Landlord, Landlord’s property, the Building, the Property, or the Project, or if the assessed value of the Building, the Property, or the Project is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon Tenant’s Interest, regardless of the validity thereof, Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to pay such taxes, and if not paid and satisfactory evidence of payment delivered to Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to delinquency, then Landlord shall have the right to pay such taxes on Tenant’s behalf and to invoice Tenant for the same, in either case whether before or after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term. Tenant shall, within the earlier to occur of (a) thirty

 

34


Building C

 

(30) days of the date it receives an invoice from Landlord setting forth the amount of such taxes, assessments, fees, or public charge so levied, or (b) the due date of such invoice, pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the amount set forth in such invoice. Failure by Tenant to pay the amount so invoiced within such time period shall be conclusively deemed a default by Tenant under this Lease. Tenant shall have the right to bring suit in any court of competent jurisdiction to recover from the taxing authority the amount of any such taxes, assessments, fees or public charges so paid.

13.2 Holding Over. This Lease shall terminate without further notice on the Lease Expiration Date (as set forth in Article 1). Any holding over by Tenant after expiration of the Lease Term shall neither constitute a renewal nor extension of this Lease nor give Tenant any rights in or to the Leased Premises except as expressly provided in this Paragraph. Any such holding over to which Landlord has consented shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month, on the same terms and conditions herein specified insofar as applicable, except that the Base Monthly Rent shall be increased to an amount equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Monthly Base Rent for the last month immediately preceding such holding over for the first two (2) months or any such holding over, and thereafter one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Monthly Rent payable during the last full month immediately preceding such holding over. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event of a holding over to which Landlord has consented, any rights of Landlord or obligations of Tenant set forth in this Lease and purporting to apply during the term of this Lease, shall nonetheless also be deemed to apply during any such hold over period. Tenant acknowledges that if Tenant holds over without Landlord’s consent, such holding over may compromise or otherwise affect Landlord’s ability to enter into new leases with prospective tenants regarding the Leased Premises.

Therefore, in the event Tenant does not vacate the Leased Premises in accordance with the terms of this Paragraph 13.2 on or before the expiration of the Lease Term (or the expiration of a holdover term, if applicable) after receiving at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice from Landlord demanding that Tenant vacate the Leased Premises and otherwise satisfying the requirements set forth below (a “Vacation Notice”), which notice may be given to Tenant at any time during the last sixty (60) days of the Lease Term or during any holdover period, Tenant shall be liable for all damages (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) of whatever type (including consequential damages) incurred by Landlord as a result of such holding over, and Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against all claims resulting from such failure to vacate, including, without limiting the foregoing, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to surrender, and any losses suffered by Landlord, including lost profits, resulting from such failure to surrender. The Vacation Notice shall specifically refer to this Lease and the address of the Building, and shall include (on the first page of the Vacation Notice) the following language in bold, capitalized font: “NOTICE: UNDER PARAGRAPH 13.2 OF THE LEASE, TENANT’S FAILURE TO VACATE THE LEASED PREMISES BY THE EXPIRATION OR EARLIER TERMINATION OF THE LEASE TERM (OR HOLDOVER TERM IF APPLICABLE) MAY RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT DAMAGES TO LANDLORD, INCLUDING CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

13.3 Subordination To Mortgages. This Lease is subject to and subordinate to all ground leases, mortgages and deeds of trust which affect the Building, the Property, or the Project and which are of public record as of the Effective Date of this Lease, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if requested by Landlord, Tenant agrees, within ten (10) days after Landlord’s written request therefor, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord any and all documents or instruments reasonably requested by Landlord or by the existing lessor or lender to assure the subordination of this Lease to such ground lease, mortgage or deed of trust, including but not limited to a subordination agreement in the form attached to this Lease as Exhibit I or such other customary form as any such lessor or lender may require (an “SNDA”). If the form of SNDA is different than the form attached to this Lease as Exhibit I, then Tenant shall have the right to make reasonable comments to such form provided that Tenant shall not be entitled to object to any provision of such SNDA which is substantially the same as a provision set forth in Exhibit I. If the lessor under any such ground lease or any lender holding any such mortgage or deed of trust shall advise Landlord that it desires or requires this Lease to be made prior and superior thereto, then, upon written request of Landlord to Tenant, Tenant shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all customary or reasonable documents or instruments which Landlord and such lessor or lender deems necessary or desirable to make this Lease prior thereto, subject to Tenant’s right to make reasonable comments to such documents or instruments (provided that Tenant shall not be entitled to object to any provision of such documents or instruments which is substantially the same as a provision set forth in Exhibit I). Tenant hereby consents to Landlord’s ground leasing the land underlying the Building, the Property, or the Project and/or encumbering the Building, the Property, or the Project as security for future loans on such terms as Landlord shall desire, all of which future ground leases, mortgages or deeds of trust shall be subject to and subordinate to this Lease. However, if any lessor under any such future ground lease or any lender holding such future mortgage or deed of trust shall desire or require that this Lease be made subject to and subordinate to such future ground lease, mortgage or deed of trust, then Tenant agrees, within ten (10) days after Landlord’s written request therefor, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord any and all documents or instruments requested by Landlord or by such lessor or lender to

 

35


Building C

 

assure the subordination of this Lease to such future ground lease, mortgage or deed of trust, but only if such lessor or lender agrees not to disturb Tenant’s quiet possession of the Leased Premises so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods expressly set forth in this Lease, and subject to Tenant’s right to make reasonable comments to such documents or instruments (provided that Tenant shall not be entitled to object to any provision of such documents or instruments which is substantially the same as a provision set forth in Exhibit I). Tenant’s failure to execute and deliver such documents or instruments within ten (10) days after Landlord’s request therefor shall be a material default by Tenant under this Lease, provided that Landlord provides Tenant with a written notice of such default and Tenant continues to fail to deliver such documentation within four (4) days of receipt of such default notice, in which case no further notice shall be required under Paragraph 12.1(c) or any other provision of this Lease, and Landlord shall have all of the rights and remedies available to Landlord as Landlord would otherwise have in the case of any other material default by Tenant, it being agreed and understood by Tenant that Tenant’s failure to so deliver such documents or instruments in a timely manner could result in Landlord being unable to perform committed obligations to other third parties which were made by Landlord in reliance upon this covenant of Tenant. If Landlord assigns the Lease as security for a loan, Tenant agrees to execute such documents as are reasonably requested by the lender and to provide reasonable provisions in the Lease protecting such lender’s security interest which are customarily required by institutional lenders making loans secured by a deed of trust.

Tenant hereby agrees, promptly upon request by Landlord, to execute, have acknowledged, and deliver to Landlord an SNDA substantially in the form of Exhibit I attached hereto, and Landlord agrees to cause Landlord’s existing mortgage lender to execute, have acknowledged, and, as a condition to the effectiveness of this Lease, either (a) have the same recorded in the Official Records of Santa Clara County, or (b) deliver a complete original of the same to Tenant, in either case within 30 days after the Effective Date of this Lease, failing which Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord delivered within ten (10) days after the end of such 30 day period, if at all.

13.4 Tenant’s Attornment Upon Foreclosure. Tenant shall, upon request, attorn (i) to any purchaser of the Building, the Property, or the Project at any foreclosure sale or private sale conducted pursuant to any security instruments encumbering the Building, the Property, or the Project, (ii) to any grantee or transferee designated in any deed given in lieu of foreclosure of any security interest encumbering the Building, the Property, or the Project, or (iii) to the lessor under an underlying ground lease of the land underlying the Building, the Property, or the Project, should such ground lease be terminated; provided that such purchaser, grantee or lessor recognizes Tenant’s rights under this Lease.

13.5 Mortgagee Protection. In the event of any default on the part of Landlord, Tenant will give notice by registered mail to any Lender or lessor under any underlying ground lease who shall have requested, in writing, to Tenant that it be provided with such notice, and Tenant shall offer such Lender or lessor a reasonable opportunity to cure the default.

13.6 Estoppel Certificate. Tenant will, following any request by Landlord, promptly execute and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate substantially in form attached as Exhibit J, (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect, (ii) stating the date to which the rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, (iii) acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant’s knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed, and (iv) certifying such other information about this Lease as may be reasonably requested by Landlord, its Lender or prospective lenders, investors or purchasers of the Building, the Property, or the Project. Tenant’s failure to execute and deliver such estoppel certificate within ten (10) days after Landlord’s request therefor shall be a material default by Tenant under this Lease, provided that Landlord provides Tenant with a written notice of such default and Tenant continues to fail to deliver such documentation within four (4) days of receipt of such default notice, in which case no further notice shall be required under Paragraph 12.1(c) or any other provision of this Lease, and Landlord shall have all of the rights and remedies available to Landlord as Landlord would otherwise have in the case of any other material default by Tenant, it being agreed and understood by Tenant that Tenant’s failure to so deliver such estoppel certificate in a timely manner could result in Landlord being unable to perform committed obligations to other third parties which were made by Landlord in reliance upon this covenant of Tenant. Landlord and Tenant intend that any statement delivered pursuant to this paragraph may be relied upon by any Lender or purchaser or prospective Lender or purchaser of the Building, the Property, or any interest in them. Tenant’s certifications are, however, made solely to estop Tenant from asserting against the party(ies) named therein (other than Landlord), facts or claims contrary to those stated therein, and such estoppel certificate shall be binding on Tenant vis-à-vis the party(ies) named therein (other than Landlord) but shall not modify in any way, Tenant’s relationship, obligations or rights vis-à-vis Landlord.

13.7 Tenant’s Financial Information. Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after Landlord’s request therefor, deliver to Landlord a copy of Tenant’s (and any guarantor’s) current audited financial

 

36


Building C

 

statements (including a balance sheet, income statement and statement of cash flow, all prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), a list of all of Tenant’s creditors with current contact information, and any such other information reasonably requested by Landlord regarding Tenant’s financial condition; provided, however, that as long as the common stock of Tenant (or its assigns permitted pursuant to this Lease or otherwise approved by Landlord in writing) is publicly-traded on a United States national stock exchange, and such information is available as part of Tenant’s or such Permitted Transferee’s 10-K or 10-Q report filings on the SEC’s Edgar website, and such materials are current per SEC filing requirements, then such requirement shall be fulfilled by such filings. Landlord shall be entitled to disclose such financial statements or other information to its Lender, to any present or prospective principal of or investor in Landlord, or to any prospective Lender or purchaser of the Building, the Property, or any portion thereof or interest therein. Any such financial statement or other information which is marked “confidential” or “company secrets” (or is otherwise similarly marked by Tenant) shall be confidential and shall not be disclosed by Landlord to any third party except as specifically provided in this paragraph, unless the same becomes a part of the public domain without the fault of Landlord.

13.8 Transfer By Landlord. Landlord and its successors in interest shall have the right to transfer their interest in the Building, the Property, or any portion thereof at any time and to any person or entity; provided, however, that if Landlord sells the Building at any time before the Landlord’s Additional Work is Substantially Complete, Menlo Equities Development Company IX LLC (“MEDCO IX”) will enter into a development agreement with the buyer pursuant to which MEDCO IX shall be the developer until the Landlord’s Additional Work is Substantially Complete. In the event of any such transfer, the Landlord originally named herein (and in the case of any subsequent transfer, the transferor), from the date of such transfer, shall be automatically relieved, without any further act by any person or entity, of all liability for (i) the performance of the obligations of the Landlord hereunder which may accrue after the date of such transfer if its transferee agrees to assume and perform such obligations of the Landlord hereunder, and (ii) repayment of any unapplied portion of any security deposit (upon transferring or crediting the same to the transferee). Tenant shall attorn to any such transferee. After the date of any such transfer, the term “Landlord” as used herein shall mean the transferee of such interest in the Building, the Property, or the Project.

13.9 Force Majeure. Any prevention, delay or stoppage due to strikes, lockouts, labor disputes, acts of God, acts of war, terrorist acts, inability to obtain services, labor, or materials or reasonable substitutes therefor, governmental actions, civil commotions, fire or other casualty, delay in obtaining approvals, building permits and certificates of occupancy within normal time frames, and other causes beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform, except with respect to the obligations imposed with regard to Rent and other charges to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease (collectively, a “Force Majeure”), notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, shall excuse the performance of such party for a period equal to any such prevention, delay or stoppage and, therefore, if this Lease specifies a time period for performance of an obligation of either party, that time period shall be extended by the period of any delay in such party’s performance caused by a Force Majeure.

13.10 Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Lease other than statutory notices, shall be in writing and (i) personally delivered, (ii) sent by United States mail, registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or (iii) sent by Federal Express or similar nationally recognized overnight courier service, and in all cases addressed as follows, and such notice shall be deemed to have been given upon the date of actual receipt or delivery (or refusal to accept delivery) at the address specified below (or such other addresses as may be specified by notice in the foregoing manner) as indicated on the return receipt or air bill:

Any notice given in accordance with the foregoing shall be deemed received upon actual receipt or refusal to accept delivery. Any notice required by statute and not waived in this Lease shall be given and deemed received in accordance with the applicable statute or as otherwise provided by law.

13.11 Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. In the event any party shall bring any action, arbitration, or other proceeding alleging a breach of any provision of this Lease, or a right to recover rent, to terminate this Lease, or to enforce, protect, interpret, determine, or establish any provision of this Lease or the rights or duties hereunder of either party, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party as a part of such action or proceeding, or in a separate action for that purpose brought within one year from the determination of such proceeding, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees, court costs and reasonable disbursements, made or incurred by the prevailing party.

13.12 Definitions. Any term that is given a special meaning by any provision in this Lease shall, unless otherwise specifically stated, have such meaning wherever used in this Lease or in any Addenda or amendment hereto. In addition to the terms defined in Article 1, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(a) Real Property Taxes. The term “Real Property Tax” or “Real Property Taxes” shall each mean Tenant’s Building Share of the following (to the extent applicable to any portion of the Lease Term, regardless of when the same are imposed, assessed, levied, or otherwise charged): (i) all taxes, assessments, levies and other charges of any kind or nature whatsoever, general and special, foreseen and unforeseen (including all installments of principal and interest required to pay any general or special assessments for public improvements and any increases resulting from reassessments caused by any change in ownership or new construction), now or hereafter imposed by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority or special district having the direct or indirect power to tax or levy assessments, which are levied or assessed for whatever reason against the Property or any portion thereof, or Landlord’s interest herein, or the fixtures, equipment and other property of Landlord that is an integral part of the Property and located thereon, or Landlord’s business of owning, leasing or managing the Property or the gross receipts, income or rentals from the Property, (ii) all charges, levies or fees imposed by any governmental authority against Landlord by reason of or based upon the use of or number of parking spaces within the Property, the amount of public services or public utilities used or consumed (e.g. water, gas, electricity, sewage or waste water disposal) at the Property, the number of persons employed by tenants of the Property, the size (whether measured in area, volume, number of tenants or whatever) or the value of the Property, or the type of use or uses conducted within the Property, and all costs and fees (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by Landlord in contesting in good faith any Real Property Tax and in negotiating with public authorities as to any Real Property Tax. In the event the Project is developed in a manner which results in separate legal parcels comprising some or all of the Common Areas, then with respect to those Common Area parcels, Real Property Taxes shall be calculated using Tenant’s Project Share (as opposed to Tenant’s Building Share). If, at any time during the Lease Term, the taxation or assessment of the Property prevailing as of the Effective Date of this Lease shall be altered so that in lieu of or in addition to any the Real Property Tax described above there shall be levied, awarded or imposed (whether by reason of a change in the method of taxation or assessment, creation of a new tax or charge, or any other cause) an alternate, substitute, or additional use or charge (i) on the value, size, use or occupancy of the Property or Landlord’s interest therein or (ii) on or measured by the gross receipts, income or rentals from the Property, or on Landlord’s business of owning, leasing or managing the Property or (iii) computed in any manner with respect to the operation of

 

38


Building C

 

the Property, then any such tax or charge, however designated, shall be included within the meaning of the terms “Real Property Tax” or “Real Property Taxes” for purposes of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms “Real Property Tax” or “Real Property Taxes” shall not include estate, inheritance, gift or franchise taxes of Landlord or the federal or state income tax imposed on Landlord’s income from all sources, transfer taxes, any items which are in the nature of Taxes but are included in Property Maintenance Costs (in which case they shall be payable under that category) or expressly are excluded from Property Maintenance Costs (in which case they shall not be payable by Tenant), including, without limitation, certain of the items excluded pursuant to Paragraph 13.12(xviii) below) and any real estate taxes directly payable by Tenant or any other tenant of the Project (i.e., not paid by Landlord) under the applicable provisions of their respective leases. If Landlord receives a refund of Real Property Taxes or a credit against its future Real Property Taxes for any calendar year during the Lease Term for which Tenant paid Tenant’s Share of Real Property Taxes, Landlord shall, at its election, either pay to Tenant, or credit against subsequent payments of Rent due hereunder, an amount equal to Tenant’s Building Share or Tenant’s Project Share (as applicable) of the refund, net of any reasonable, actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Landlord in achieving such refund; provided, however, if this Lease shall have expired or is otherwise terminated, Landlord shall refund in cash any such refund or credit due to Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of such refund or its receipt of such credit against future Real Property Taxes. Landlord’s obligation to so refund to Tenant any such refund or credit of Real Property Taxes shall survive such expiration or termination. If the Cafe & Fitness Center is used only by certain tenants of the Project or Property, then Landlord shall have the right to allocate Real Property Taxes attributable to such Cafe & Fitness Center solely to those tenants who have access to the Cafe & Fitness Center.

(b) Landlord’s Insurance Costs. The term “Landlord’s Insurance Costs” shall mean (to the extent applicable to any portion of the Lease Term, regardless of when the same are incurred):

(i) Tenant’s Building Share of the costs to Landlord to carry and maintain the policies of fire and property damage insurance for the Building and general liability and any other insurance required or permitted to be carried by Landlord pursuant to Article 9, together with any deductible amounts paid by Landlord upon the occurrence of any insured casualty or loss, but only to the extent such deductible is not in excess of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) per occurrence for non-earthquake insurance policies and not in excess of five percent (5%) per occurrence of the full replacement cost of the Building in the case of policies of earthquake insurance; provided that if Tenant’s Project Share or Tenant’s Building Share, as relevant, of any earthquake deductible will exceed an amount equal to Two and 00/100 Dollars ($2.00) per square foot of the rentable area in the Leased Premises in a particular calendar year (the “Annual Casualty Deductible Cap”) then only an amount up to such Annual Casualty Deductible Cap shall be paid by Tenant in any calendar year, but Tenant’s Project Share or Tenant’s Building Share, as relevant, of excess amounts of such deductible may be carried forward, subject to the same Annual Casualty Deductible Cap limitation, for payment in each subsequent year, up to the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term (as the same may be extended). If Tenant terminates this Lease under Article 10 as a result of a casualty, Tenant’s obligation to pay any deductible with respect to that casualty shall not exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) (if the casualty is not the result of an earthquake) or the Annual Casualty Deductible Cap (if the casualty is the result of an earthquake). If Landlord terminates this Lease under Article 10 as a result of a casualty, Tenant shall have no obligation to pay Landlord’s insurance deductible; plus

(ii) without duplication of amounts payable pursuant to subparagraph (i) above, to the extent any of the insurance policies carried by Landlord are specific to the Project as a whole (as opposed to the Building or the Property), then, Tenant’s Project Share of the costs to Landlord to carry and maintain the policies of fire and property damage insurance for the Project (as opposed to just the Building or the Property) and general liability and any other insurance required or permitted to be carried by Landlord pursuant to Article 9 which is applicable to the Project (as opposed to just the Building or the Property), together with any deductible amounts paid by Landlord upon the occurrence of any insured casualty or loss to the extent permitted pursuant to Paragraph 13.12(b)(i) above.

(c) Property Maintenance Costs. The term “Property Maintenance Costs” shall mean (to the extent applicable to any portion of the Lease Term, regardless of when the same are incurred):

(i) monthly professional management fees equal to 2.5% of Base Monthly Rent (the “Management Fee”), plus Tenant’s Building Share of all other costs and expenses (except Landlord’s Insurance Costs and Real Property Taxes) paid or incurred by Landlord in protecting, operating, maintaining, repairing and preserving the Building and the Property and all parts thereof, including without limitation, (A) the amortizing portion of any costs incurred by Landlord in the making of any modifications, alterations or improvements required by any governmental authority as set forth in Article 6, which are so amortized during the Lease Term, and (B) such other costs as may be paid or incurred with respect to operating, maintaining, and preserving the Building or the Property, such as repairing and resurfacing the exterior surfaces of the Building (including roofs), repairing and replacing

 

39


Building C

 

structural parts of the Building, and repairing and replacing, when necessary, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems serving the Building; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be responsible for any capital repairs or replacements costing over $10,000 individually, which are incurred by Landlord during the initial, unextended Lease Term except to the extent such capital repairs or replacements are necessitated by Tenant’s breach of this Lease, and subject to the last two (2) sentences of Paragraph 5.1(b) above; plus

(ii) without limitation or duplication of the foregoing, Tenant’s Project Share of all costs and expenses (except Landlord’s Insurance Costs and Real Property Taxes) paid or incurred by Landlord in protecting, operating, maintaining, repairing and preserving the Project (as opposed to just the Building or the Property) and all parts thereof (excluding the Building and the Other Buildings); plus

(iii) costs of maintaining, repairing, and operating the Cafe & Fitness Center (or the café or fitness center portions thereof, if applicable) and, notwithstanding any contrary allocation pursuant to Tenant’s Project Share, shall be allocated among the Building, Buildings A, B, and D, and any additional buildings in the Project that have the use of the Cafe & Fitness Center (or the applicable portions thereof), and any buildings that do not have the use of the Cafe & Fitness Center (or the applicable portions thereof) shall be excluded from such allocation, or such costs shall be equitably prorated, as applicable; plus

(iv) without limitation or duplication of the foregoing, Tenant’s Project Share of all costs and expenses paid or incurred by Landlord for employee shuttles and other transportation management efforts at the Project.

(d) Property Operating Expenses. The term “Property Operating Expenses” shall mean and include all Real Property Taxes, plus all Landlord’s Insurance Costs, plus all Property Maintenance Costs. If the occupancy of the Building or Project, during any calendar year is less than ninety-five percent (95%), Landlord shall make adjustments to the variable components of Property Operating Expenses for that calendar year, as reasonably determined by Landlord to determine the amount of Property Operating Expenses that would have been incurred had the Building and Project been ninety-five percent (95%) occupied. Such adjusted variable components of Property Operating Expenses will be considered to have been the amount of Property Operating Expenses for that calendar year for reimbursement purposes hereunder. For purposes hereunder, the term “variable components” includes only those components of Property Operating Expenses that are affected by variations in occupancy levels as determined by Landlord.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 13.12(c), the following are specifically excluded from the definition of Property Operating Expenses and Tenant shall have no obligation to pay directly or reimburse Landlord for all or any portion of the following except to the extent any of the following are caused by the actions or inactions of Tenant, or result from the failure of Tenant to comply with the terms of this Lease:

(i) Landlord’s non-cash charges, such as depreciation (except for the amortization of capital or other items to the extent provided for in this Lease),

(ii) any payments of points, interest or principal relating to any debt secured by the Leased Premises,

(iii) costs associated with the operation of the business of the ownership or entity which constitutes “Landlord” (as distinguished from the costs of Leased Premises operations), including, but not limited to, partnership accounting and legal matters, accounting, payroll, legal and computer services, costs of defending any lawsuits with any mortgagee, costs of selling, syndicating, financing, mortgaging or hypothecating any of Landlord’s interest in the Leased Premises, costs of any disputes between Landlord and its employees (if any) whether or not engaged in Leased Premises operation, or outside fees paid in connection with disputes with other tenants,

(iv) legal fees, space planners’ fees, real estate brokers’ leasing commissions, and advertising expenses incurred in connection with leasing of the Leased Premises,

(v) costs for which Landlord is reimbursed by its insurance carrier or any tenant’s insurance carrier,

(vi) any bad debt loss, rent loss or reserves for bad debts or rent loss,

(vii) any interest or late fee resulting from any failure of Landlord to pay any item of Property Operating Expenses when it would have been due without such interest or late fee; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed from precluding Landlord from passing through to Tenant as a Property Operating Expense any cost associated with paying Property Operating Expenses on any permitted installment or other periodic basis, even if such payment basis results in an increase in the Property Operating Expense in question,

 

40

Landlord and Tenant shall both be deemed to have drafted this Lease, and the rule of construction that a document is to be construed against the drafting party shall not be employed in the construction or interpretation of this Lease. Where Tenant is obligated not to perform any act or is not permitted to perform any act, Tenant is also obligated to restrain any others reasonably within its control, including agents, invitees, contractors, subcontractors and employees, from performing such act. Landlord shall not become or be deemed a partner or a joint venturer with Tenant by reason of any of the provisions of this Lease.

Tenant agrees to execute such reasonable documents and take such actions as reasonably necessary to assist Landlord with such efforts and actions, provided such documents do not materially increase Tenant’s obligations or materially diminish Tenant’s rights under the Lease. Tenant agrees that such efforts and actions of Landlord shall not constitute constructive eviction of Tenant from the Project, the Property, or the Leased Premises. Following any parcelization, lot combination or merger, or lot line adjustment of the Property or the Project, Landlord and Tenant agree to amend this Lease to conform the descriptions of the Property, Project, Site Plan, and Common Areas, and (subject to there being no decrease in the number of parking spaces to which Tenant is entitled) the parking areas contained herein, to the parcelization, lot combination or merger, lot line adjustment, or reconfiguration. Landlord agrees to minimize the disruption of Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises, the Building, the Common Areas and the Project to the extent reasonable, given Landlord’s efforts and actions described herein.

OPTIONS TO EXTEND

15.1 Options to Extend. So long as Aruba Networks, Inc. or a Permitted Assignee is the Tenant hereunder and occupies the entirety of the initial Leased Premises consisting of the first floor of the Building, and subject to the conditions set forth below, Tenant shall have two options to extend the term of this Lease with respect to the Leased Premises, the first for a period of five (5) years from the expiration of the initial, unextended Lease Term (the “First Extension Period”), and the second (the “Second Extension Period”) for a period of five (5) years from the expiration of the First Extension Period, subject to the following conditions:

(a) Each option to extend shall be exercised, if at all, by notice of exercise given to Landlord by Tenant not more than twelve (12) months nor less than nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the initial, unextended Lease Term or the expiration of the First Extension Period, as applicable;

(b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if Tenant is in monetary or material non-monetary default under any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease, either at the time Tenant exercises either extension option or on the commencement date of the First Extension Period or the Second Extension Period, as applicable, Landlord shall have, in addition to all of Landlord’s other rights and remedies provided in this Lease, the right to terminate such option(s) to extend upon notice to Tenant within five (5) business days after receipt of Tenant’s extension notice or else Landlord shall be deemed to have waived Landlord’s right to terminate such option. For the avoidance of confusion, the foregoing shall not be read to prevent Tenant from curing the applicable default and then exercising the applicable option to extend once the default is cured if such cure is completed within the applicable cure period, if any, expressly set forth in this Lease.

15.2 Fair Market Rent. In the event the applicable option is exercised in a timely fashion, the Lease shall be extended for the term of the applicable extension period upon all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, provided that the Base Monthly Rent applicable to each extension period shall be 95% of the “Fair Market Rent” for the Leased Premises.

46


Building C

 

15.3 Tenant’s Election. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s notice of exercise, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of Landlord’s estimate of the Base Monthly Rent for the applicable extension period, based on the provisions of Paragraph 15.2 above. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice from Landlord, Tenant shall have the right either to (i) accept Landlord’s statement of Base Monthly Rent as the Base Monthly Rent for the applicable extension period; or (ii) elect to arbitrate Landlord’s estimate of Fair Market Rent, such arbitration to be conducted pursuant to the provisions hereof. Failure on the part of Tenant to require arbitration of Fair Market Rent within such thirty (30) day period shall constitute acceptance of the Base Monthly Rent for the applicable extension period as calculated by Landlord. If Tenant elects arbitration, the arbitration shall be concluded within ninety (90) days after the date of Tenant’s election, subject to extension for an additional thirty (30) day period if a third arbitrator is required and does not act in a timely manner. To the extent that arbitration has not been completed prior to the expiration of any preceding period for which Base Monthly Rent has been determined, Tenant shall pay Base Monthly Rent at a rate equal to 102.5% of the Monthly Base Rent due for the last month of the initial Lease Term or First Extension Period, as relevant, with the potential for an adjustment to be made once Fair Market Rent is ultimately determined by arbitration.

15.4 Rent Arbitration. In the event of arbitration, the judgment or the award rendered in any such arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction and shall be final and binding between the parties. The arbitration shall be conducted and determined in the City and County of Santa Clara in accordance with the then prevailing rules of JAMS or its successor for arbitration of commercial disputes except to the extent that the procedures mandated by such rules shall be modified as follows:

(a) Tenant shall make demand for arbitration in writing within thirty (30) days after service of Landlord’s determination of Fair Market Rent given under Paragraph 15.3 above, specifying therein the name and address of the person to act as the arbitrator on its behalf. The arbitrator shall be qualified as a real estate appraiser or broker familiar with the Fair Market Rent of comparable buildings in the Santa Clara or Sunnyvale area who would qualify as an expert witness over objection to give opinion testimony addressed to the issue in a court of competent jurisdiction. Failure on the part of Tenant to make a proper demand in a timely manner for such arbitration shall constitute a waiver of the right thereto. Within fifteen (15) days after the service of the demand for arbitration, Landlord shall give notice to Tenant, specifying the name and address of the person designated by Landlord to act as arbitrator on its behalf who shall be similarly qualified. If Landlord fails to notify Tenant of the appointment of its arbitrator, within or by the time above specified, then the arbitrator appointed by Tenant shall be the arbitrator to determine the issue.

(b) In the event that two arbitrators are chosen pursuant to Paragraph 15.4(a) above, the arbitrators so chosen shall, within fifteen (15) days after the second arbitrator is appointed determine the Fair Market Rent. If the two arbitrators shall be unable to agree upon a determination of Fair Market Rent within such fifteen (15) day period, they, themselves, shall appoint a third arbitrator, who shall be a competent and impartial person with qualifications similar to those required of the first two arbitrators pursuant to Paragraph 15.4(a). In the event they are unable to agree upon such appointment within seven (7) days after expiration of such fifteen (15) day period, the third arbitrator shall be selected by the parties themselves, if they can agree thereon, within a further period of fifteen (15) days. If the parties do not so agree, then either party, on behalf of both, may request appointment of such a qualified person by the then Presiding Judge of the California Superior Court having jurisdiction over the County of Santa Clara, and the other party shall not raise any question as to such Judge’s full power and jurisdiction to entertain the application for and make the appointment. The three arbitrators shall decide the dispute if it has not previously been resolved by following the procedure set forth below.

(c) Where an issue cannot be resolved by agreement between the two arbitrators selected by Landlord and Tenant or settlement between the parties during the course of arbitration, the issue shall be resolved by the three arbitrators within fifteen (15) days of the appointment of the third arbitrator in accordance with the following procedure. The arbitrator selected by each of the parties shall state in writing his determination of the Fair Market Rent supported by the reasons therefor with counterpart copies to each party. The arbitrators shall arrange for a simultaneous exchange of such proposed resolutions. The role of the third arbitrator shall be to select which of the two proposed resolutions most closely approximates his determination of Fair Market Rent. The third arbitrator shall have no right to propose a middle ground or any modification of either of the two proposed resolutions. The resolution he chooses as most closely approximating his determination shall constitute the decision of the arbitrators and be final and binding upon the parties.

(d) In the event of a failure, refusal or inability of any arbitrator to act, his successor shall be appointed by him, but in the case of the third arbitrator, his successor shall be appointed in the same manner as provided for appointment of the third arbitrator. The arbitrators shall decide the issue within fifteen (15) days after the appointment of the third arbitrator. Any decision in which the arbitrator appointed by Landlord and the arbitrator appointed by Tenant concur shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties. Each party shall pay the fee and expenses of its respective arbitrator and both shall share the fee and expenses of the third arbitrator, if any, and the attorneys’ fees and expenses of counsel for the respective parties and of witnesses shall be paid by the respective party engaging such counsel or calling such witnesses.

 

47


Building C

 

(e) The arbitrators shall have the right to consult experts and competent authorities to obtain factual information or evidence pertaining to a determination of Fair Market Rent, but any such consultation shall be made in the presence of both parties with full right on their part to cross examine. The arbitrators shall render their decision and award in writing with counterpart copies to each party. The arbitrators shall have no power to modify the provisions of this Lease.

ARTICLE 16

(ii) Landlord makes no warranty as to the quality, continuity or availability of the telecommunications services in the Building, and Tenant hereby waives any claim against Landlord for any actual or consequential damages (including damages for loss of business) in the event Tenant’s telecommunications services in any way are interrupted, damaged or rendered less effective, except to the extent caused by the active gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents or employees. Tenant accepts the telephone equipment (including, without limitation, the intra-building network cable (“INC”)) in its AS-IS condition, and Tenant shall be solely responsible for contracting with a reliable third party vendor to assume responsibility for the maintenance and repair thereof (which contract shall contain provisions requiring such vendor to inspect the INC periodically (the frequency of such inspections to be determined by such vendor based on its experience and professional judgment), and requiring such vendor to meet local and federal requirements for telecommunications material and workmanship). Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant and Tenant waives all claims against Landlord whatsoever, whether for personal injury, property damage, loss of use of the Leased Premises, or otherwise, due to the interruption or failure of telephone services to the Leased Premises.

(iii) All costs incurred by Landlord for the installation, maintenance, repair and replacement of telephone wiring in the Building, if Landlord in its sole discretion elects to do so, shall be a Property Maintenance Cost.

ARTICLE 17

RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL TO LEASE; RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER TO LEASE

17.1 Right of First Refusal to Lease. Subject to the rights of any company which executes a lease for space in the Project pursuant to a term sheet or letter of intent executed prior to the Effective Date of this Lease:

(a) Provided that at the time Landlord would otherwise be obligated to deliver a ROFR Notice (as hereinafter defined), Tenant is Aruba Networks Inc. (or a Permitted Transferee) and is then leasing the entire first floor of the Building and has not received written notice from Landlord informing Tenant that it is in monetary or material non-monetary default under this Lease which is then currently uncured, then after receiving or negotiating an Acceptable Proposal (as defined below) for any portion (the “Identified ROFR Space”) of the second floor or the third floor of the Building, but not involving any portion of any of the Other Buildings (such second and third floors in such event being defined as the “Available ROFR Space”), Landlord shall deliver a written notice (the “ROFR Notice”) to Tenant and the terms of the Acceptable Proposal. Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall not have the right to deliver Tenant’s Election Notice (as hereinafter defined) during any period that Tenant is in a monetary or material non-monetary default under any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease with respect to which it has received a written notice from Landlord if such default remains uncured, and the time periods provided for herein shall not be tolled or extended during Tenant’s cure thereof.

(b) Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing within five (5) business days after receipt of the ROFR Notice of Tenant’s election to lease the Identified ROFR Space on the economic terms set forth in the Acceptable Proposal (“Tenant’s Election Notice”). Tenant shall not have the right to lease less than the entire Identified ROFR Space. If any proposal Landlord receives includes any space in any of the Other Buildings, Landlord shall be free to negotiate such proposal with the party who delivered it, and this Paragraph 17.1 shall not apply in any way thereto. As used herein, the term “Acceptable Proposal” means a lease proposal received from or negotiated with a bona fide, unaffiliated third party (whether or not executed) containing terms upon which Landlord is willing to lease the Identified ROFR Space to such third party. In addition, and notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant acknowledges that the existing tenant of the fourth floor of the Building has prior rights to lease all or portions of the third floor

 

48


Building C

 

of the Building, and therefore the Acceptable Proposal as it relates to the third floor of the Building, and Tenant’s right to provide Tenant’s Election Notice with respect to the third floor of the Building, are each subject and subordinate to the rights of the fourth floor tenant.

(c) Failure of Tenant to deliver Tenant’s Election Notice within the required time period (i) shall be deemed an election by Tenant to not lease the Identified ROFR Space, Landlord shall then be free to lease the Identified ROFR Space to a third party in accordance with the economic terms set forth in the ROFR Notice or such terms as Landlord shall elect and Tenant shall have no further rights to lease the Identified ROFR Space thereafter, and this Paragraph 17.1 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect; provided, however, that (i) Tenant’s rights under this Paragraph 17.1 shall continue for any portion of the Available ROFR Space contiguous to the Leased Premises (as the same may have previously been expanded) which was not referenced in the ROFR Notice, (ii) Tenant’s rights under this Paragraph 17.1 with respect to the Identified ROFR Space shall continue to the extent such space becomes available for lease again during the Lease Term or any extension thereof and is contiguous to the Leased Premises (as the same may have previously been expanded), and (iii) in the event that Landlord proposes to lease such Identified ROFR Space at a Net Effective Rental Rate that is less (on a per rentable square foot basis) than ninety percent (90%) of the Net Effective Rental Rate specified in the ROFR Notice, Tenant’s rights under this Paragraph 17.1 shall be revived as to the Identified ROFR Space and Landlord shall deliver a revised ROFR Notice (the “Revised ROFR Notice”) offering such Identified ROFR Space to Tenant at such proposed lower rate and Tenant shall have the right to lease such Identified ROFR Space on the terms set forth in such Revised ROFR Notice by notice to Landlord given within five (5) business days after Tenant’s receipt thereof. As used in this Agreement, the term “Net Effective Rental Rate” shall mean the net present value of the rent and additional rent payable under the ROFR Notice, taking into account any allowances and the fair market value of any work to be performed by Landlord at its expense in connection with any such proposed transaction using a discount rate equal to the Prime Rate plus two percent (2%) as reported in the Wall Street Journal from time to time, or any successor published from time to time as reasonably selected by Landlord.

(d) If Tenant delivers Tenant’s Election Notice within the time period required herein, Tenant shall be bound and obligated to lease from Landlord, and Landlord shall be bound and obligated to lease to Tenant, the Identified ROFR Space on the terms set forth in the ROFR Notice, and for record-keeping purposes, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an amendment of this Lease to include the Identified ROFR Space within fifteen (15) business days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Election Notice. The economic terms (including, without limitation, the amount of rent and the tenant improvement allowance, if any) shall be the terms set forth in the ROFR Notice, and conforming changes shall be made as necessary or desirable to increase the rentable square footage of the Leased Premises, as well as to any other provisions that are a function of the rentable square footage of the Leased Premises (e.g., Tenant’s Building Share and Tenant’s Project Share, and actual number of parking spaces allocated to Tenant based upon the ratio set forth in the “Parking” Paragraph of Article 1 above). If Tenant has received written notice from Landlord that Tenant is in a monetary or material non-monetary default under any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease and such default remains uncured after the expiration of the relevant cure period, Landlord shall have, in addition to all of Landlord’s other rights and remedies provided in this Lease, the right to terminate the right of first refusal contained herein upon notice to Tenant.

17.2 Right of First Offer to Lease.

(a) In the event that Tenant does not lease the entire Available ROFR Space pursuant to Paragraph 17.1 above, Landlord shall be free to lease all or any portion of such space not leased pursuant to Paragraph 17.1 above, to other prospective tenants (the “Initial Lease-Up”). At any time after any of the leases of the Available ROFR Space entered into by Landlord and such other tenant(s) expire and are not extended or renewed, whether pursuant to a right contained in such lease(s) or pursuant to negotiation, and provided that Tenant is then leasing the entire two (2) floors of the Leased Premises and has not received written notice from Landlord informing Tenant that it is in monetary or material non-monetary default under this Lease which default is still uncured, when any Available ROFR Space which was the subject of such expired lease(s) becomes available which Landlord desires to market for lease (the “Designated ROFO Space”), Landlord shall deliver a written notice (the “ROFO Notice”) to Tenant setting forth the Designated ROFO Space and the terms upon which Landlord is intending to market the Designated ROFO Space. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing with five (5) business days after receipt of the ROFO Notice of Tenant’s election to lease the Designated ROFO Space on the terms set forth in the ROFO Notice (“Tenant’s ROFO Election Notice”).

(b) Failure of Tenant to deliver Tenant’s ROFO Election Notice within the required time period shall be deemed an election by Tenant to not lease the Designated ROFO Space, Landlord shall be free to market the applicable Designated ROFO Space to third parties on such terms as Landlord shall elect, and Tenant shall have no further right to lease the applicable Designated ROFO Space; provided, however, that, in the event that Landlord proposes to lease such Designated ROFO Space at a Net Effective Rental Rate that is less (on a per rentable square foot basis) than ninety percent (90%) of the

 

49


Building C

 

Net Effective Rental Rate specified in the ROFO Notice, Tenant’s rights under this Paragraph 17.2 shall be revived and Landlord shall deliver a revised ROFO Notice (the “Revised ROFO Notice”) offering such Designated ROFO Space to Tenant at such proposed lower rate and Tenant shall have the right to lease such Designated ROFO Space on the terms set forth in such Revised ROFO Notice by notice to Landlord given within ten (10) business days after Tenant’s receipt thereof. As used in this Agreement, the term “Net Effective Rental Rate” shall mean the net present value of the rent and additional rent payable under the ROFO Notice, taking into account any allowances and the fair market value of any work to be performed by Landlord at its expense in connection with any such proposed transaction using a discount rate equal to the Prime Rate plus two percent (2%) as reported in the Wall Street Journal from time to time, or any successor published from time to time as reasonably selected by Landlord.

(c) In the event Tenant delivers Tenant’s ROFO Election Notice within the time period required herein, Tenant shall be bound and obligated to lease from Landlord, and Landlord shall be bound and obligated to lease to Tenant, the Designated ROFO Space on the terms hereinafter described, and for record-keeping purposes, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an amendment of this Lease to include the Designated ROFO Space within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s ROFO Election Notice. The per square foot economic terms (including, without limitation, the amount of rent and the tenant improvement allowance, if any) shall be the terms set forth in the ROFO Notice and shall apply to the entire space constituting the Designated ROFO Space (but the term shall be treated as set forth hereinafter), and conforming changes shall be made as necessary or desirable to increase the rentable square footage of the Leased Premises, as well as to any other provisions that are a function of the rentable square footage of the Leased Premises (e.g., Tenant’s Building Share and Tenant’s Project Share). The Lease Expiration Date for the entirety of the Leased Premises, including the Designated ROFO Space, shall be the date set forth in Article 1 above, as the same may be extended by Tenant for the First Extension Period and Second Extension Period pursuant to Article 15 above.

(d) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if Tenant is in monetary or material non-monetary default under any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease, either at the time Tenant sends Tenant’s ROFO Election Notice or upon executing the amendment, and has received written notice from Landlord to such effect, then Landlord shall have, in addition to all of Landlord’s other rights and remedies provided in this Lease, the right to terminate the right of first offer contained herein upon notice to Tenant.

17.3 Memorandum of Lease.

(a) Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Lease, the parties shall execute a short form memorandum in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit K-1 (the “Memorandum of Lease”), and thereafter within thirty (30) days Landlord shall at its sole cost and expense cause such Memorandum of Lease to be recorded in the Official Records of Santa Clara County, California. Tenant agrees that at the request of any lender or ground lessor, the subordination documents executed and delivered by Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 13.3 above shall include the subordination of such Memorandum of Lease to the applicable deed of trust or ground lease.

(b) Within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s written request, which request Landlord may make at any time during the last thirty (30) days of the Lease Term (as extended, if applicable), Tenant shall execute, have acknowledged, and deliver to Landlord a Termination of Memorandum of Lease in the form of Exhibit K-2 attached hereto, whereupon Landlord shall be authorized to cause the same to be recorded in the Official Records of Santa Clara County, California, immediately upon or at any time after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Tenant’s obligation to execute and deliver such Termination of Memorandum of shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

(c) From time to time within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s written request, which request Landlord may make during the thirty (30) day period preceding any of Tenant’s rights set forth in this Article 17 lapsing or otherwise expiring, terminating, or becoming ineffective, or at any time after any of such rights have lapsed, terminated, or become ineffective, Tenant or its successors or assigns claiming rights in this Article 17 shall promptly execute, have acknowledged, and deliver to the Landlord, a Termination of Certain Rights under Lease in the form of Exhibit K-3 attached hereto, modified to specify those rights lapsing, terminating, or otherwise becoming ineffective, whereupon Landlord shall be authorized to cause the same to be recorded in the Official Records of Santa Clara County, California. Tenant’s obligation to execute and deliver such Termination of Certain Rights under Lease shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

WORK LETTER

THIS TENANT WORK LETTER (“Work Letter”) sets forth the agreement of Landlord and Tenant with respect to the improvements to be constructed in the Leased Premises, as defined in the Lease to which this Work Letter is attached as an exhibit. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Work Letter and the terms of the Lease, the terms of the Lease shall control. All defined terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Lease, unless otherwise defined in this Work Letter.

1. Landlord’s Work.

(a) Landlord’s Completed Work. Landlord has constructed the base building warm shell of the Building, which is a four-story, steel frame building containing the components listed on Exhibit A-1 attached hereto (the “Warm Shell Components”), in accordance with the plans for the Building which were approved by the City of Santa Clara (the “Final Base Building Plans”), and the Site Plan (which remains subject to approval, and changes if any are required, by the City of Santa Clara), and in compliance with all Laws applicable thereto on the date the Building was substantially completed by Landlord (“Landlord’s Completed Work”). Landlord has provided Tenant’s architect with a CAD file of the Final Base Building Plans, and Landlord represents to Tenant that the base building warm shell of the Building has been constructed in accordance with such Final Base Building Plans.

(b) Landlord’s Additional Work. Landlord will (a) pursuant to Paragraph 5.2(a) of the Lease, upgrade the base building transformer to provide 4,000 amps, subject to the approval of Silicon Valley Power Company, and (b) construct (i) the Building’s ground floor lobby, with finishes similar to the lobby finishes in the buildings located at 3355 and 3325 Scott Boulevard, and (ii) exit corridors from stairwells as shown shaded on Exhibit A-2 attached hereto (“Landlord’s Additional Work”). Landlord shall substantially complete the Landlord’s Additional Work by July 1, 2016, subject to Force Majeure and any periods of delay caused by Tenant Delay.

2. Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall construct, furnish or install such improvements, equipment or fixtures as are necessary for Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Leased Premises (collectively, the “Tenant Improvements”). Tenant shall complete construction of the Tenant Improvements for the entirety of the Leased Premises. Tenant shall also be responsible for the cost of any alterations to the Building required as a result of the Tenant Improvements unless such alterations are required due to Landlord’s failure to build the Warm Shell Components in accordance with the Final Base Building Plans or applicable Laws. Tenant has engaged and Landlord has approved Alex Ingram to manage the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements (“Tenant Improvement Project Manager”). Tenant shall cause all drawings and specifications for the Tenant Improvements to be prepared by an architect selected by Tenant and reasonably approved by Landlord (“Tenant Improvement Architect”) and to be constructed by a general contractor licensed in California, selected by Tenant, and reasonably approved by Landlord (“Tenant Improvement Contractor”). Tenant has engaged and Landlord has approved Devcon Construction Inc. to be the Tenant Improvement Contractor. Landlord’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, shall be required if Tenant desires to change its Tenant Improvement Architect, Tenant Improvement Contractor or Tenant Improvement Project Manager. Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a copy of the executed contracts between Tenant and Tenant Improvement Architect, and Tenant and Tenant Improvement Contractor, covering all of Tenant’s obligations under this Work Letter; Landlord agrees to keep treat such contracts as confidential information pursuant to and in accordance with Paragraph 13.7 of the Lease.

The Tenant Improvements shall be in conformity with drawings and specifications submitted to and approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and shall be performed in accordance with the following provisions:

Tenant Improvement Space Plans: Tenant shall prepare and submit to Landlord for its approval Tenant Improvement space plans (the “Tenant Improvement Space Plans”). Within five (5) business days after receipt of Tenant’s drawings Landlord shall return one set of prints thereof with Landlord’s approval and/or suggested modifications noted thereon. If Landlord fails to respond within five (5) business days, then Tenant may send a notice to Landlord, which notice must contain the following inscription, in 14 point font and bold faced lettering: “SECOND NOTICE DELIVERED PURSUANT TO WORK LETTER—FAILURE TO TIMELY RESPOND WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS SHALL RESULT IN DEEMED APPROVAL.” If Tenant sends such a notice, and Landlord fails to respond within five (5) business days after its receipt of same, the proposed drawings shall be deemed approved. If Landlord has approved Tenant’s drawings subject to modifications, such modifications shall be deemed to be acceptable to and approved by Tenant unless Tenant shall prepare and resubmit revised drawings for further consideration by Landlord. If Landlord has suggested modifications

Building C

 

without approving Tenant’s drawings Tenant shall prepare and resubmit revised drawings. All revised drawings shall be submitted, with changes highlighted, to Landlord, and Landlord shall approve or disapprove such revised drawings within five (5) business days following receipt of the same. Landlord shall be provided with a copy of Tenant’s preliminary floor plan and associated CAD files as a condition to receiving reimbursement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord may only object to such Tenant Improvement Space Plans if they present a Design Problem. As used in this Work Letter and in the Lease, the term “Design Problem” means that the proposed alteration, Tenant Improvements, or other work would cause an adverse effect on the structural aspects of the Building or Building Systems, trigger any obligation of Landlord to make the Building comply with Laws (unless Tenant pays for the cost of such compliance), vitiate or otherwise reduce any warranty for Landlord’s benefit with respect to the Building or Project, increase the cost of Landlord’s maintenance or repair costs with respect to the Building or Project unless such costs are paid by Tenant as billed by Landlord, conflict with applicable codes or other Laws, affect the exterior appearance of the Building, or increase the cost of construction, or delay completion, of the Landlord’s Additional Work.

Tenant Improvement Design Development Plans: Tenant shall prepare and submit to Landlord for its approval Tenant Improvement design development plans (“Tenant Improvement Design Development Plans”). Within five (5) business days after receipt of Tenant’s drawings Landlord shall return one set of prints thereof with Landlord’s approval and/or suggested modifications noted thereon. If Landlord fails to respond within five (5) business days, then Tenant may send a notice to Landlord, which notice must contain the following inscription, in 14 point font and bold faced lettering: “SECOND NOTICE DELIVERED PURSUANT TO WORK LETTER—FAILURE TO TIMELY RESPOND WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS SHALL RESULT IN DEEMED APPROVAL.” If Tenant sends such a notice, and Landlord fails to respond within five (5) business days after its receipt of same, the proposed drawings shall be deemed approved. If Landlord has approved Tenant’s drawings subject to modifications, such modifications shall be deemed to be acceptable to and approved by Tenant unless Tenant shall prepare and resubmit revised drawings for further consideration by Landlord. If Landlord has suggested modifications without approving Tenant’s drawings Tenant shall prepare and resubmit revised drawings for consideration by Landlord. All revised drawings shall be submitted, with changes highlighted, to Landlord following Landlord’s return to Tenant of the drawings originally submitted, and Landlord shall approve or disapprove such revised drawings within five (5) business days following receipt of the same. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord may only object to such Tenant Improvement Design Development Plans if they present a Design Problem.

Tenant Improvement Working Drawings: Tenant shall prepare and submit to Landlord for its approval Tenant Improvement working drawings (“Tenant Improvement Working Drawings”) including mechanical, electrical, and plumbing plans (“MEP”). Within five (5) business days after receipt of Tenant’s drawings Landlord shall return one set of prints thereof with Landlord’s approval and/or suggested modifications noted thereon. If Landlord fails to respond within five (5) business days, then then Tenant may send a notice to Landlord, which notice must contain the following inscription, in 14 point font and bold faced lettering: “SECOND NOTICE DELIVERED PURSUANT TO WORK LETTER—FAILURE TO TIMELY RESPOND WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS SHALL RESULT IN DEEMED APPROVAL.” If Tenant sends such a notice, and Landlord fails to respond within five (5) business days after its receipt of same, the proposed drawings shall be deemed approved. If Landlord has approved Tenant’s drawings subject to modifications, such modifications shall be deemed to be acceptable to and approved by Tenant unless Tenant shall prepare and resubmit revised drawings for further consideration by Landlord. If Landlord has suggested modifications without approving Tenant’s drawings Tenant shall prepare and resubmit revised drawings for consideration by Landlord. All revised drawings shall be submitted, with changes highlighted, to Landlord following Landlord’s return to Tenant of the drawings originally submitted, and Landlord shall approve or disapprove such revised drawings within five (5) business days following receipt of the same. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord may only object to such Tenant Improvement Working Drawings if they present a Design Problem.

Final Tenant Improvement Plans: Tenant shall submit the approved Tenant Improvement Working Drawings to the Santa Clara Building Department for a Tenant Improvement building permit prior to the commencement of such work. The Tenant Improvement Working Drawings as modified by the City of Santa Clara are defined herein as the “Final Tenant Improvement Plans.” Prior to commencing construction, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of the City of Santa Clara building permit for the Final Tenant Improvement Plans.

Any material changes to the Final Tenant Improvement Plans shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. As used herein, the term “Material Changes” shall mean: a change to the Final Tenant Improvement Plans that exceeds Forty Thousand Dollars ($40,000) in cost or could reasonably be expected to cause a Design Problem.

3. Project Costs. The costs and expenses of the development and construction of the Landlord’s Additional Work and the Tenant Improvements (“Project Costs”) shall be paid in accordance with this Paragraph 3.

(a) Landlord’s Additional Work. The costs and expenses of the development and construction of the Landlord’s Additional Work shall be paid by Landlord.

(b) Tenant Improvements. Unless specified otherwise herein, Tenant shall bear and pay the cost of the Tenant Improvements (which cost shall include, without limitation, the costs of construction as provided for in the Tenant Improvement Contractor’s contract, the cost of permits, and all architectural, design, space planning, and engineering services obtained by Tenant in connection with Tenant Improvements, office improvements, wiring and cabling costs, and cubicle costs; provided that, so long as Tenant is not in monetary or material non-monetary default under the Lease or this Work Letter, Landlord shall contribute a maximum of $65 per rentable square foot, for an aggregate maximum of $2,282,865 (the “Tenant Improvement Allowance”), but in no event more than $65 per square foot of the applicable space under construction, which shall be utilized only for building improvements to the Building, and for any related costs, including but not limited to design, engineering, construction, furniture and equipment appurtenant to the Leased Premises, cabling, project management fees, moving expenses, and signage, and shall be available to Tenant only until the date which is twelve (12) months after the Lease Commencement Date (the “TI Allowance Deadline”), after which Landlord shall have no further obligation to provide any portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance. Landlord shall have no obligation to make disbursements of the Tenant Improvement Allowance at any time that Landlord has delivered written notice of a monetary or material non-monetary default under the Lease or this Work Letter by Tenant until such default has been cured. Subject to such TI Allowance Deadline, and based upon applications for payment prepared, certified and submitted by Tenant as described below, Landlord shall make progress payments from the Tenant Improvement Allowance to Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph 3 (but in no event more than $65 per square foot for the applicable space under construction), as follows:

(i) Not later than the 25th day of each month Tenant shall submit applications for payment to Landlord in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, including Tenant Improvement Contractor’s Application and Certification for Payment AIA G702 certified by Tenant Improvement Architect, certified as correct by an officer of Tenant and by Tenant’s architect, for payment of that portion of the cost of the Tenant Improvements allocable to labor, materials and equipment incorporated in the Building or Common Areas during the period from the first day of the same month projected through the last day of the month. Each application for payment shall set forth such information and shall be accompanied by such supporting documentation as shall be reasonably requested by Landlord, including the following:

(A) Invoices and canceled checks.

(B) Fully executed conditional lien releases in the form prescribed by law from the Tenant Improvement Contractor and all subcontractors and suppliers furnishing labor or materials during such period and fully executed unconditional lien releases from all such entities covering the prior payment period.

(C) Tenant Improvement Contractor’s worksheets showing percentages of completion.

(D) Tenant Improvement Contractor’s certification as follows:

“There are no known mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens outstanding at the date of this application for payment, all due and payable bills with respect to the Building have been paid to date or shall be paid from the proceeds of this application for payment, and there is no known basis for the filing of any mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens against the Building or the Property, and, to the best of our knowledge, waivers from all subcontractors are valid and constitute an effective waiver of lien under applicable law to the extent of payments that have been made or shall be made concurrently herewith.”

(ii) On or before the 15th day following submission of the application for payment, so long as Tenant is not in default under the terms of this Work Letter or the Leases, Landlord shall pay a share of such payment determined by multiplying the amount of such payment by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, and the denominator of which is the sum of (i) estimated construction cost of all Tenant Improvement work and materials for the entire Leased Premises and Common Areas, and (ii) the estimated cost of all professional services, fees and

 

Exhibit D


Building C

 

permits in connection therewith. Tenant shall pay the balance of such payment, provided that at such time as Landlord has paid the entire Tenant Improvement Allowance on account of such Tenant Improvement work, all billings shall be paid entirely by Tenant; provided, however, that Landlord shall have no obligation to make disbursements of the Tenant Improvement Allowance at any time that Landlord has delivered written notice of a monetary or material non-monetary default under the Lease or this Work Letter by Tenant until such default has been cured. If upon completion of the Tenant Improvement Work and payment in full to the Tenant Improvement Contractor, the architect and engineer, and payment in full of all fees and permits, the portion of the cost of the Tenant Improvement Work, architects’ and engineers’ fees, permits and fees theretofore paid by Landlord is less than the Tenant Improvement Allowance, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for costs expended by Tenant for Tenant Improvement work up to the amount by which the Tenant Improvement Allowance exceeds the portion of such cost theretofore paid by Landlord. Landlord shall have no obligation to advance the Tenant Improvement Allowance to the extent it exceeds the total cost of the Tenant Improvement Work. In no event shall Landlord have any responsibility for the cost of the Tenant Improvement Work in excess of the Improvement Allowance. Landlord shall have no obligation to make any payments to Tenant Improvement Contractor’s material suppliers or subcontractors or to determine whether amounts due them from Tenant Improvement Contractor in connection with the Tenant Improvement work have, in fact, been paid. The foregoing shall not be read to prevent Tenant from curing the applicable default and then being entitled to the applicable disbursement once the default is cured if such cure is completed within the applicable cure period, if any, expressly set forth in this Work Letter or the Lease.

(c) Additional Allowance for Tenant Work. Upon Tenant’s written request made at least thirty (30) days prior to the Lease Commencement Date, so long as Tenant is not in monetary or material non-monetary default under the Lease or this Work Letter, but as an increase in the Base Monthly Rent payable by Tenant, Landlord will provide an additional amount, to be added to the Tenant Improvement Allowance and disbursed as provided with respect thereto in subparagraph 3(b) above, of $15 per rentable square foot, for an aggregate maximum of $526,815 (the “Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance”), but in no event more than $15 per square foot of the applicable space under construction. The amount of the Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance shall accrue interest at the per annum rate of six percent (6%), compounded monthly, from the date each portion thereof is contributed by Landlord, and the total amount thereof (including accrued interest) shall be fully amortized in equal monthly installments, commencing on the later of (i) the Lease Commencement Date, and (ii) the first day of the first full calendar month following the first to occur of (A) the final disbursement by Landlord of the Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance, and (B) the TI Allowance Deadline, and ending on the first day of the 132nd month of the Lease Term, utilizing a per annum rate of six percent (6%), compounded monthly, and the amount of each monthly installment shall be added to and become a part of the Base Monthly Rent.

(d) Test Fit Allowance. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Landlord has previously provided Tenant with a satisfactory test fit allowance to be used by Tenant in the development of the Tenant Improvement Space Plans.

(e) Evidence of Completion of Improvement Work. Upon the completion of the Improvement Work, Tenant shall:

(i) Submit to Landlord a detailed breakdown of Tenant’s final and total construction costs, together with receipted evidence showing payment thereof, satisfactory to Landlord.

(ii) Submit to Landlord all Tenant Improvement building permits signed off by the City and any certificate of occupancy received by Tenant for the Leased Premises.

(iii) Submit to Landlord, electronically in .pdf format or zip drive, the as-built plans and specifications or final field drawings referred to above.

4. Tenant Delay. For the purposes of this Work Letter and the Lease, “Tenant Delay” means any actual delay in the Landlord’s completion of the Landlord’s Additional Work resulting from either: (i) Tenant’s failure to fulfill its obligation with respect to provide either documents or approvals within the time periods specified therefor herein, (ii) any matters specifically identified elsewhere in this Work Letter or in the Lease as Tenant delays, or (iii) an act or omission of Tenant or any Tenant Parties which interferes with the progress of construction of the Building. In the event of any Tenant Delay the date upon which Substantial Completion of the Landlord’s Additional Work is deemed to have occurred shall be advanced by the cumulative duration of such Tenant Delays, and the Delivery Date shall be deemed to have occurred in advance of the actual delivery date as a sole and direct result of the cumulative duration of such Tenant Delays. A Tenant Delay shall not be deemed to have commenced until Landlord has provided written notice to Tenant that a Tenant Delay is occurring.

5. Unavoidable Tenant Improvement Delays. As used in this Work Letter, the term “Unavoidable Tenant Improvement Delay” shall mean any delays Tenant experiences in constructing

 

Exhibit D


Building C

 

the Tenant Improvements which actually and directly, without intervening cause, materially and adversely affect Tenant’s construction of the Tenant Improvements and prevent Tenant from completing the Tenant Improvements by the Lease Commencement Date as a result of acts of God or nature, delays in obtaining permits, or government shut-down.

6. Landlord Delays. A “Landlord Delay” means the length of any actual delay in the permitting, construction or completion of the Tenant Improvements or equipment to be installed by Tenant which actually and directly delays Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements beyond the date set forth in Paragraph 2.4(c) of the Lease (as such date may be extended pursuant to Paragraph 2.4(c) of the Lease), which (a) is not caused by Force Majeure, and (b) is caused by Landlord’s interference with Tenant’s Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements or placement of furniture, fixtures or equipment in the Leased Premises caused by acts or omissions of Landlord or its agents or contractors. For the purposes of this Paragraph 6 only, the term “Substantial Completion” means that the Tenant Improvements have been substantially completed pursuant to the details of the Final Tenant Improvement Plans but for punch list items which don’t materially and adversely affect Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises and a temporary certificate of occupancy for the Leased Premises has been issued by the City of Santa Clara.

7. Assignment of Rights Against Architect, Contractor, etc. Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord on a non-exclusive basis any and all rights Tenant may have against the Tenant Improvement Contractor, the Tenant Improvement Architect, the Tenant Improvement Project Manager, and any other of Tenant’s consultants, subcontractors, agents, etc., relating to the Tenant Improvements, without in any way obligating Landlord to pursue or prosecute such rights. Landlord acknowledges and agrees that such assignment is for security purposes only, and is not an absolute or current assignment of such rights. If Tenant defaults in Tenant’s obligations pursuant to this Lease and, as a result thereof, Landlord successfully exercises Landlord’s rights pursuant to the California Civil Code then such assignment shall be an absolute assignment to Landlord of such rights, but until such time then Tenant shall be the sole owner of such rights and may enforce them or not as Tenant deems appropriate, in Tenant’s sole judgment. Tenant shall promptly cause the Tenant Improvement Contractor, the Tenant Improvement Architect, the Tenant Improvement Project Manager, and any other of Tenant’s consultants, subcontractors, agents, etc. (once each such person has been engaged) to execute and deliver to Landlord a consent in the form of Exhibit B hereto, consenting to the foregoing assignment.

8. Arbitration. All disputes under this Work Letter shall be submitted to arbitration under the office of JAMS in San Francisco, California, and shall be conducted pursuant to its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (and Landlord and Tenant hereby submit to arbitration of such matter by JAMS and the determination of such arbitrator shall be final and binding upon both Landlord and Tenant).

R E C I T A L S

 

A. Pursuant to the terms and provisions of a lease dated [DATE OF LEASE] (Lease), Mortgagor granted to Tenant a leasehold estate in and to [[a portion of]] the property described on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (which property, together with all improvements now or hereafter located on the property, is defined as the Property).

 

B. Mortgagor has executed, or proposes to execute, that certain Deed Of Trust (Security Instrument) securing, among other things, that certain Promissory Note dated [DATE OF NOTE] (Note) in the principal sum of [LOAN AMOUNT ($NUMBERS)], in favor of Lender (Loan). The Security Instrument has been or will be recorded concurrently herewith in the real property records where the Property is located.

 

C. As a condition to Lender making the Loan secured by the Security Instrument, Lender requires that the Security Instrument be unconditionally and at all times remain a lien on the Property, prior and superior to all the rights of Tenant under the Lease and that the Tenant specifically and unconditionally subordinate the Lease to the lien of the Security Instrument.

 

D. Mortgagor and Tenant have agreed to the subordination, attornment and other agreements herein in favor of Lender.

NOW THEREFORE, for valuable consideration and to induce Lender to make the Loan, Mortgagor and Tenant hereby agree for the benefit of Lender as follows:

 

(1) SUBORDINATION. Mortgagor and Tenant hereby agree that:

 

  1. Prior Lien. The Security Instrument securing the Note in favor of Lender, and any modifications, renewals or extensions thereof (including, without limitation, any modifications, renewals or extensions with respect to any additional advances made subject to the Security Instrument), shall unconditionally be and at all times remain a lien on the Property prior and superior to the Lease;

 

  2. Subordination. Lender would not make the Loan without this agreement to subordinate; and

 

Exhibit I


Building C

 

 

  3. Whole Agreement. This Agreement shall be the whole agreement and only agreement with regard to the subordination of the Lease to the lien of the Security Instrument and shall supersede and cancel, but only insofar as would affect the priority between the Security Instrument and the Lease, any prior agreements as to such subordination, including, without limitation, those provisions, if any, contained in the Lease which provide for the subordination of the Lease to a deed or deeds of trust or to a mortgage or mortgages.

AND FURTHER, Tenant individually declares, agrees and acknowledges for the benefit of Lender, that:

 

  4. Use of Proceeds. Lender, in making disbursements pursuant to the Note, the Security Instrument or any loan agreements with respect to the Property, is under no obligation or duty to, nor has Lender represented that it will, see to the application of such proceeds by the person or persons to whom Lender disburses such proceeds, and any application or use of such proceeds for purposes other than those provided for in such agreement or agreements shall not defeat this agreement to subordinate in whole or in part; and

 

  5. Waiver, Relinquishment and Subordination. Tenant intentionally and unconditionally waives, relinquishes and subordinates all of Tenant’s right, title and interest in and to the Property to the lien of the Security Instrument and understands that in reliance upon, and in consideration of, this waiver, relinquishment and subordination, specific loans and advances are being and will be made by Lender and, as part and parcel thereof, specific monetary and other obligations are being and will be entered into which would not be made or entered into but for said reliance upon this waiver, relinquishment and subordination.

  2. No Prepaid Rent. No deposits or prepayments of rent have been made in connection with the Lease, except as follows (if none, state “None”):                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           ;

 

  3. No Default. To the best of Tenant’s knowledge, as of the date hereof: (i) there exists no breach, default, or event or condition which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute a breach or default under the Lease; and (ii) there are no existing claims, defenses or offsets against rental due or to become due under the Lease;

 

  4. Lease Effective.

  5. No Broker Liens. Neither Tenant nor Mortgagor has incurred any fee or commission with any real estate broker which would give rise to any lien right under state or local law, except as follows (if none, state “None”):                     .

  2.

  2. Continuation of Performance. Tenant shall be bound to Lender in accordance with all of the provisions of the Lease for the balance of the term thereof, and Tenant hereby attorns to Lender as its landlord, such attornment to be effective and self-operative without the execution of any further instrument immediately upon Lender succeeding to Mortgagor’s interest in the Lease and giving written notice thereof to Tenant;

 

  3. No Offset. Lender shall not be liable: (i) for, nor subject to, any offsets or defenses which Tenant may have by reason of any act or omission of Mortgagor under the Lease, except by reason of any act or omission continuing after foreclosure, or deed in lieu thereof, of which Lender had notice prior to foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof, and failed to cure within fifteen (15) days from and after the expiration of the time period provided in the Lease for the cure thereof by Mortgagor, and which relates to the repair or maintenance of the Property; nor (ii) for the return of any sums which Tenant may have paid to Mortgagor under the Lease as and for security deposits, advance rentals or otherwise, except to the extent that such sums are actually delivered by Mortgagor to Lender; and

 

  4. Subsequent Transfer. If Lender, by succeeding to the interest of Mortgagor under the Lease, should become obligated to perform the covenants of Mortgagor thereunder, then, upon any further transfer of Mortgagor’s interest by Lender, all of such unaccrued obligations shall terminate as to Lender.

 

  5. Limitation on Lender’s Liability. Tenant agrees to look solely to Lender’s interest in the Property and the rent, income or proceeds derived therefrom for the recovery of any judgment against Lender, and in no event shall Lender or any of its affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, partners, agents, representatives or employees ever be personally liable for any such obligation, liability or judgment.
