record.
2.2 Commencement Date: The Lease Term shall begin on the "Commencement
-----------------
Date", as that term is defined in this paragraph, which date shall be determined
as follows:
A. The Lease Term shall commence on the "Commencement Date", which

Improvements to be constructed by Landlord pursuant to the Improvement
Agreement, executed concurrently with this Lease by Landlord and Tenant and
attached hereto as Exhibit "C", have been Substantially Completed (except for
-----------
punch list items which do not interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises); (ii)
Landlord has obtained and delivered to Tenant a Certificate of Occupancy

C. As of the Effective Date, the parties anticipate that the Lease
Term will commence on the Target Commencement Date. However, the Lease Term
shall begin on the Commencement Date as it is defined pursuant to subparagraph
2.2A above.
2.3 Delivery and Acceptance of Possession: Landlord shall use its best
-------------------------------------
efforts to cause the Commencement Date to occur on or before the Target
Commencement Date, or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable. However, if
Landlord is unable to cause the
3
foregoing to be done by the indicated time period for any reason beyond its
reasonable control, this Lease shall not be void or voidable, Landlord shall not
be in default, and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage
resulting from Landlord's failure or inability to complete such improvements
within the indicated time periods or to deliver possession of the Premises when
required by this Lease. However, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this
Lease in the event the Commencement Date has not occurred within that period of
time following the Target Commencement Date that is equal to the sum of the
following: (i) one hundred eighty (180) days; plus (ii) the period of any actual
delay in completing the Improvements experienced by Landlord resulting from

2.4 Early Occupancy: Tenant shall have the right to enter the Premises as
---------------
soon as reasonably practicable after that point in time when such entry will not
unreasonably interfere with Landlord's construction of the Improvements and
continuing thereafter until the Commencement Date for the purpose of installing
its personal property, furniture, furnishings, equipment, systems and Trade
Fixtures. If Tenant enters or permits its contractors to enter the Premises
prior to the Commencement Date, it shall do so upon all of the terms of this
Lease (including its obligations regarding indemnity and insurance) except those
regarding the obligation to pay Base Monthly Rent and Additional Rent, which
shall commence as set forth in Article 3 below.
ARTICLE 3
---------
RENT
3.1 Base Monthly Rent: Commencing sixty (60) days following the
-----------------
Commencement Date and continuing throughout the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord a monthly rent (which rent is referred to as the "Base Monthly Rent"),
in accordance with the following:
A. Commencing sixty (60) days following the Commencement Date and
continuing until the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Commencement Date, the Base
Monthly Rent shall be Fifty-Four Thousand Two Hundred Thirty-One Dollars and
Seventy-Three Hundredths Dollars ($54,231.73) per month ($.97 x 55,909 rentable
square feet), which sum is referred to herein as the "Initial Base Monthly
Rent".
B. Commencing on the fourth (4/th/) anniversary of the Commencement
Date, and again on the seventh (7th) and eleventh (11th) and fourteenth (14/th/)
anniversaries of such dates (each such day being referred to as the "Rent
Adjustment Date"), the Base Monthly Rent shall be adjusted to equal the product
of the Base Monthly Rent in effect for the calendar month immediately preceding
the Rent Adjustment Date in question plus the Consumer Price Index (or "CPI")
increase for each anniversary of the Lease for the period from the Commencement
Date to the first Rent Adjustment Date, in the case of the first rental
adjustment and thereafter, the immediately preceding period between Rent
Adjustment Dates; provided, however, that any such increase in Base Monthly Rent
shall not be greater than two and one-half percent (2.5%) in any year. Thus,
the CPI increase for the first Rent Adjustment Date shall not exceed in the
aggregate ten percent (10%), the CPI increase for the second Rent Adjustment
Date shall not exceed in the aggregate seven and one-half percent (7.5%), the
CPI increase for the third Rent Adjustment Date shall not exceed in the
aggregate ten percent (10%), and the CPI increase for the fourth Rent Adjustment
Date shall not exceed in the aggregate seven and one-half percent (7.5%). This
Paragraph shall not apply during any Option Term.
4
C. By way of example only, assuming (i) the rentable square footage
of the Building is 55,909 square feet, (ii) the initial Base Monthly Rent is
Fifty-Four Thousand Two Hundred Thirty-One Dollars and Seventy-Three Hundredths
Dollars ($54,231.73) (55,909 x $.97) and (iii) the actual increases in the
Consumer Price Index (or "CPI") for the first (1st), second (2nd), third (3rd),
and fourth (4th) anniversaries of the Lease Term are one percent (1%), two
percent (2%), two percent (2%), and twenty percent (20%), respectively, the
first (1st) rental adjustment or increase would equal $4,067.37, which amount is
---------
calculated as follows:
(I) FIRST (1ST) ANNIVERSARY INCREASE OF $542.31 ($54,231.73 (first (1st)
-------
year's Base Monthly Rent) x .01 CPI increase = $542.31 CPI increase for the
first (1st) anniversary), plus
(II) SECOND (2ND) ANNIVERSARY INCREASE OF $1,084.63 ($54,231.73 (second
---------
(2nd) year Base Monthly Rent) x .02 CPI increase = $1,084.63 CPI increase for
the second (2nd) anniversary), plus
(III) THE THIRD (3RD) ANNIVERSARY INCREASE OF $1,084.63 ($54,231.73 (third
---------
(3rd) year Base Monthly Rent) x .02 CPI increase = $1,084.63 CPI increase for
the third (3rd) anniversary), plus
(IV) THE FOURTH (4TH) ANNIVERSARY INCREASE OF $1,355.79 ($54,231.73 (fourth
---------
(4th) year Base Monthly Rent) x .025 CPI increase (CPI increase cannot exceed
2.5% for any year, regardless of actual CPI increase) = $1,355.79 CPI increase
for the fourth (4th) anniversary), which
(V) EQUALS A CUMULATIVE INCREASE OF $4,067.36 ($542.31 + $1,084.63 +
---------
$1,084.63 + $1,355.79)
D. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if the
actual cost of the Interior Improvements is less than the Interior Improvement
Allowance (as defined in the Tenant Improvement Agreement), then the Base
Monthly Rent payable by Tenant for the Premises shall be reduced as follows:
the unused portion of the Interior Improvement Allowance shall be multiplied by
ten and fifty one hundredths percent (10.50%), the amount of which shall be
divided by twelve (12), the product of which shall be deducted from the Base
Monthly Rent for each month of each year of the Lease Term. If the Base Monthly
Rent is adjusted as set forth in this Section 3.1.D., the parties shall execute
an amendment to this Lease, reducing the Base Monthly Rent, in accordance with
this Article 3.
3.2 Additional Rent: Commencing on the Commencement Date and continuing
---------------
throughout the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay as additional rent (the "Additional
Rent") (i) Real Property Taxes as required by paragraph 8.2, (ii) insurance
costs pursuant to paragraph 9.3, (iii) any late charges or interest due Landlord
pursuant to paragraph 3.4, (iv) any legal fees and costs due Landlord pursuant
to paragraph 15.10, and (v) any other charges due Landlord pursuant to this
Lease. Commencing on the first day of the twenty-fifth (25th) month of the
Lease Term, Tenant shall also pay to Landlord as Additional Rent a monthly fee
for property management (the "Property Management Fee") of the Premises, in the
amount of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) per month. Landlord will provide Tenant
with the Property Management Services, limited to the coordination, facilitation
and management of the routine maintenance and repair of the common areas and the
courtyard area, including landscape maintenance, parking lot maintenance and
lighting maintenance. The Property Management Services shall not include
accounting services or the coordination, facilitation or management of capital
repairs or improvements. The Property
5
Management Fee shall be subject to periodic increases in the same manner as the
increases to the Base Monthly Rent as set forth in Paragraph 3.1.B. of the
Lease.
3.3 Payment of Rent: All rent required to be paid in monthly installments
---------------
shall be paid in advance on the first (1st) day of each calendar month during
the Lease Term. All rent shall be paid in lawful money of the United States,
and except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease, without any
abatement, deduction or offset whatsoever, and without any prior demand
therefor, to Landlord at its address set forth above or at such other place as
Landlord may designate from time to time. Tenant's obligation to pay rent shall
be prorated at the commencement and expiration of the Lease Term.
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 amount 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 such Base Monthly Rent or Additional Rent is not
received by Landlord from Tenant within five (5) days after Tenant has received
written notice from Landlord that payment of such rent has not been received by
Landlord and that such rent is past due, Tenant shall immediately pay to
Landlord a late charge equal to four percent (4%) of such delinquent rent.
Landlord and Tenant agree that this late charge represents a reasonable estimate
of such costs and expenses and is fair compensation to Landlord for its loss
suffered by Tenant's failure to make timely payment. In addition to said late
charge, if any Base Monthly Rent or Additional Rent is not received by Landlord
from Tenant within thirty (30) days after Tenant has received written notice
from Landlord that such Rent is past due, Landlord shall be entitled to interest
on the past due amount from the thirty-first (31st) day until paid at the Agreed
Interest Rate. In no event shall this provision for a late charge and interest
be deemed to grant to Tenant a grace period or extension of time within which to
pay any rent or prevent Landlord from exercising any right or remedy available
to Landlord upon Tenant's failure to pay any rent due under this Lease in a
timely fashion, including the right to terminate this Lease.
3.5 Security Deposit: In no event shall a security or similar deposit be
----------------
due from Tenant at any time under this Lease.
ARTICLE 4
---------

or sold in or about the Premises any article which may be prohibited by the
standard form of fire insurance policy.

Landlord is required by any Law to limit or control parking in the Premises,
whether by validation of parking tickets or any other method of assessment,
Tenant agrees to participate in such validation or assessment program under such
reasonable rules and regulations as are from time to time established by
Landlord; provided, however, that in no event shall Tenant be charged for the
use of any parking spaces contained within the Premises.

any alterations to the Premises which could significantly affect the structural
integrity or the exterior design of the Improvements. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to
reconfigure demountable walls and partitions without Landlord's prior written
consent. All such approved Leasehold Improvements shall be installed by Tenant
at Tenant's expense in substantial compliance with the approved plans and
specifications therefor. All construction undertaken by Tenant shall be done in

architect which relates to the plans for the Building, including any "as-built"

incorporate such information into Tenant's files relating to any plans for
Leasehold Improvements. All Leasehold Improvements shall remain the property of
Tenant during the Lease Term. Tenant shall have the right to remove any
Leasehold Improvements so long as it repairs all damage caused by the removal
thereof and returns the Premises to the condition existing prior to the
installation of such Leasehold Improvements. At the expiration or sooner
termination of the Lease Term, all Leasehold Improvements that Tenant does not
elect to remove shall be surrendered to Landlord as a part of the realty and
shall then become Landlord's property, and Landlord shall have no obligation to
reimburse Tenant for all or any portion of the value or cost thereof; provided,
however, that Tenant shall remove any Leasehold Improvements so designated for
removal by Landlord in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 15.2 if (i)
such Leasehold Improvements were installed without the prior written consent of
Landlord, or (ii) at the time Tenant requested Landlord's
8
consent to such Leasehold Improvements, Landlord informed Tenant in writing that
Landlord would require that such Leasehold Improvements be removed and the
Premises returned to the condition existing prior to the installation thereof,
ordinary wear and tear excepted, at the expiration or earlier termination of the
Lease Term.
5.3 Alterations Required by Law: Tenant shall make any alteration,
----------------------------
addition or change of any sort, whether structural or otherwise, to the Premises
that is required by any Law because of (i) a particular use of or change of use
made to the Premises by Tenant (which alteration, addition or change is not
generally required to be made by owners or tenants of other properties similar
to the Premises), (ii) Tenant's application for a new permit or governmental
approval, or (iii) Tenant's construction or installation of any Leasehold
Improvements or Trade Fixtures. Any other alteration, addition or change
required by Law which is not the responsibility of Tenant pursuant to the
foregoing shall be made by Landlord (subject to Landlord's right to
reimbursement from Tenant for certain improvements required by Law as specified
in paragraph 5.4).
5.4 Landlord's Improvements: All fixtures, improvements or equipment
------------------------
which are installed, constructed on or attached to the Property by Landlord at
its expense shall become a part of the realty and belong to Landlord. Tenant
shall pay Additional Rent in the amount described in subparagraph 5.4B in the
event Landlord is required by Law to make capital improvements required to be
constructed in order to comply with any Law not in effect or applicable to the
Premises as of the Effective Date which are not the responsibility of Tenant
pursuant to paragraph 5.3. The amount of Additional Rent Tenant is to pay with
respect to each such capital improvement shall be determined as follows:
A. All costs paid by Landlord to construct such improvements
(including financing costs but excluding reimbursements received from insurers
or other third parties and the cost of any work ordered by the warranty given by
Landlord pursuant to the Improvement Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit "C")
-----------
shall be amortized on a straight line basis over the useful life of such
improvements (as reasonably determined by Landlord in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles) with interest on the unamortized balance at the
then prevailing market rate Landlord would pay if it borrowed funds to construct
such improvement from an institutional lender, and Landlord shall inform Tenant
of the monthly amortization payment required to so amortize such costs, and
shall also provide Tenant with the information upon which such determination is
made.
B. As Additional Rent, Tenant shall pay an amount equal to such
monthly amortization payment for each month after such improvement is completed
until the first to occur of (i) the expiration of the original Lease Term
(excluding any extended terms), or (ii) the end of the term over which such
costs were amortized, which amount shall be due at the same time the Base
Monthly Rent is due.
5.5 Liens: Tenant shall keep the Premises free from any liens, and shall
------
pay when due all bills, arising out of any work performed by or materials
furnished to Tenant, its subtenants, or their respective agents, employees or
contractors relating to Leasehold Improvements in the Premises. If any such
claim of lien is recorded, Tenant shall bond against or discharge the same
within thirty (30) days after the same has been recorded against the Premises.
Should any lien be filed against the Premises or any action commenced affecting
title to the Premises, the party receiving notice of such lien or action shall
immediately give the other party written notice thereof. Landlord, within thirty
(30) days after request from Tenant, shall execute and deliver any document
reasonably required by any supplier, lessor or lender of Tenant in connection
with the installation in the Premises of Tenant's personal property or Tenant's
Trade Fixtures pursuant to which
9
Landlord waives any rights it may have with respect to such personal property or
Trade Fixtures.
5.6 Initial Improvements: The construction of the initial
--------------------
Improvements to the Premises shall be governed by the terms of the Improvement
Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit "C", and not the terms of this Article 5,

necessary, and conduct regular inspections and servicing of, the Premises and
every part thereof, including, but not limited to, (i) the roof membrane (but
excluding the roof structure), (ii) all plumbing and sewage facilities
(including all sinks, toilets, faucets and drains), and all ducts, pipes, vents
or other parts of the HVAC or plumbing system, (iii) all fixtures, interior

Lease, including Article 5, repair any damage to the Premises (including
exterior doors and windows) caused by vandalism or any unauthorized entry.
Tenant shall maintain, repair and replace when necessary all HVAC equipment and
shall keep the same in good condition through regular inspection and servicing.
No less frequently than annually, Tenant shall cause the Building to be
inspected by a licensed HVAC repair and maintenance contractor approved by
Landlord, each of whom shall submit the result of its inspection to Landlord and
Tenant. Tenant shall perform such maintenance and repair work as is recommended
by such inspector to the extent such work is reasonably necessary to keep the
HVAC equipment in good order, condition, and repair. All repairs and
replacements required of Tenant shall be promptly made with new materials of
like kind and quality. If the estimated cost of any item of repair or
replacement is in excess of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), then Tenant shall
first obtain Landlord's written approval of the scope of work, plans therefor,
materials to be used, and the contractor.
6.2 Landlord's Obligation to Maintain: Unless otherwise set forth in this
---------------------------------
Lease, during the Lease Term, Landlord shall be responsible for the following,
without right of reimbursement from Tenant (except to the extent any of the
following are caused by Tenant or Tenant's agents, employees or invitees):
A. Landlord shall maintain, repair and replace when necessary all
structural parts of the Building (including, without limitation, the foundation,
floor slab, load-bearing walls and roof system (excluding the roof membrane)).
B. Landlord shall correct defects in design and construction of, and
violations of Law relating to, the Improvements (but not Tenant's use and
excluding
10
Tenant's Leasehold Improvements) which Laws existed as of the date the building
permits for the Improvements were issued.
C. Landlord shall be responsible for replacing when necessary
because of age or wear and tear any part of the Building, including HVAC
equipment, (excluding Leasehold Improvements and replacements necessitated by
misuse or abuse by Tenant, or Tenant's employees, agents or invitees) and areas
outside of the Building (e.g., replacement of parking area) where (a) the useful
----
life of the replacement will extend beyond the remaining Lease Term (excluding
options to extend that have not yet been exercised) and (b) the cost of the
replacement (and all other replacements commenced within the same calendar year)
exceeds twenty percent (20%) of the then prevailing Monthly Base Rent. If
Landlord is responsible for a replacement, then Landlord shall make such
replacement at its sole expense, but the cost thereof shall be amortized and
Tenant shall pay Additional Rent on account of such amortization in accordance
with the procedures set forth in Article 5.4 of this Lease. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this subparagraph C shall not apply to the matters governed by
subparagraphs A and B in this Paragraph 6.2 above, for which Tenant shall have
no reimbursement obligation.
6.3 Warranties. Landlord shall assign to Tenant for the term of this
----------
Lease the benefit of all warranties available to Landlord which would reduce the
cost of performing the obligations of Tenant pursuant to this Lease. Landlord
shall cooperate with Tenant in the enforcement of such warranties. A list of
all warranties relating to the Premises to be assigned by Landlord to Tenant is
set forth in Exhibit "D" which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by
-----------
reference.
6.4 Condition on Delivery. As of the Commencement Date, Landlord shall
---------------------
deliver the Premises in good condition and repair, broom clean, with all
electrical, mechanical, HVAC, plumbing and lighting equipment, systems and

-------------------
caused by the intentional or negligent act or omission of Tenant, its employees,
contractors, or invitees, or by the failure of Tenant to discharge promptly its
obligations under this Lease or to comply with the terms of this Lease, but only
to the extent such damage is not covered by insurance proceeds actually
recovered by Landlord under policies paid for by Tenant, as set forth in Article
9 hereof. Tenant shall make payment therefor on demand by Landlord.
ARTICLE 7
WASTE DISPOSAL AND UTILITIES
7.1 Waste Disposal: Tenant shall store its waste either inside the
--------------
Premises or within outside trash enclosures that are (i) fully fenced and
screened in compliance with all Private Restrictions and (ii) designed for such
purpose. All entrances to such outside trash enclosures shall be kept closed,
and waste shall be stored in such manner as not to be visible from the exterior
of such outside enclosures. Tenant shall cause all of its waste to be regularly
removed from the Premises at Tenant's sole cost. Tenant shall keep all fire
corridors and mechanical equipment rooms in the Premises free and clear of all
obstructions at all times.
7.2 Hazardous Materials: Landlord and Tenant agree as follows with
-------------------
respect to the existence or use of "Hazardous Material" (as defined below) on
the Premises:
11
A. Any handling, transportation, storage, treatment, disposal or use
of Hazardous Materials by Landlord or Tenant on and after the Effective Date in
or about the Premises shall strictly comply with all applicable Hazardous
Materials Laws and shall be conducted in a manner which will not impair the
health of any person on or about the Premises (including, without limitation,
Landlord's and Tenant's employees, agents or invitees).
B. Tenant at Tenant's sole expense shall indemnify, defend upon
demand with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and hold harmless
Landlord and Landlord's shareholders, directors, officers, employees, partners,
affiliates and agents from and against any and all liabilities, losses, claims,
damages, lost profits, diminution in value of the Premises or the Building,
consequential damages, interest, penalties, fines, monetary sanctions,
reasonable attorneys' fees, experts' fees, and court costs, remediation costs,
investigation costs, and other expenses which result from or arise in any manner
whatsoever out of the following:
(1) The use, storage, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials
on or about the Premises by Tenant, its subtenants, and their respective agents,
employees, or contractors after the Effective Date; and
(2) The exposure of any person to a Hazardous Material stored,
used, released or disposed of by Tenant, its subtenants, and their respective
agents, employees, or contractors in or about the Premises after the Effective
Date.
C. If the presence of Hazardous Materials on the Premises caused or
permitted by Tenant or its agents, employees, or contractors after the Effective
Date results in contamination or deterioration of water or soil resulting in a
level of contamination greater than the levels established by any governmental
agency having jurisdiction over such contamination, then Tenant at Tenant's sole
expense shall promptly take any and all action necessary to clean up such
contamination and return the Premises or Building to the condition that existed
before the introduction of such Hazardous Material by Tenant or its agents,
employees or contractors, to the extent required by applicable Law or to the
extent required by an institutional owner of real property acting reasonably.
Tenant shall first obtain Landlord's reasonable approval of the proposed
remedial action. This provision does not limit the indemnification obligations
of Tenant set forth in this Article 7. 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
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, arising out of or in connection with any
removal, clean-up and restoration work required as a result of any Hazardous
Materials contamination caused by Tenant's use, storage, or disposal of
Hazardous Materials on the Premises during the Lease Term.
D. Landlord and Tenant shall each give written notice to the other
as soon as reasonably practicable of (i) any communication received from any
governmental authority concerning Hazardous Materials which relates to the
Premises, and (ii) any actual or threatened contamination of the Premises by
Hazardous Materials which constitutes a violation of any Hazardous Materials
Law. At any time during the Lease Term, Tenant shall, within five (5) days
after written request therefor received from Landlord, disclose in writing all
Hazardous Materials that are being used by Tenant on the Premises, the nature of
such use, and the manner of storage and disposal.
E. If Landlord has good cause to believe that the Premises has or
may become contaminated by Hazardous Materials, Landlord may cause testing ▇▇▇▇▇
to be
12
installed on the Premises in locations reasonably approved by Tenant, and may
cause the ground water to be tested to detect the presence of Hazardous Material
by the use of such tests as are then customarily used for such purposes. If
Tenant so requests, Landlord shall supply Tenant with copies of such test
results. The cost of such tests and of the installation, maintenance, repair and
replacement of such ▇▇▇▇▇ shall be paid by Tenant if, and only if, such tests
disclose the existence of Hazardous Material contamination caused by Tenant's
use, storage, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials on the Premises during
the Lease Term. Tenant shall have the right at any time after the Effective Date
to conduct its own tests of the soil and ground water underlying the Premises by
using ▇▇▇▇▇ installed by Landlord or ▇▇▇▇▇ installed by Tenant in locations, by
a qualified consultant and in a manner first approved in writing by Landlord so
long as each of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) such tests are
conducted by Tenant at its own expense; (ii) it repairs any damage caused by
such tests; (iii) Landlord shall have the right to review and monitor the manner
in which such tests are conducted; (iv) all such tests shall be done in a safe
and reasonable manner that complies with all laws and does not in any way cause
or allow any Hazardous Materials to contaminate, or contribute to any existing
contamination, if any, upon the property being tested; and (v) Tenant shall
deliver to Landlord copies of the results of any such tests and shall use
reasonable efforts to keep confidential, and to exercise reasonable controls
over its consultants to keep confidential, the results of such tests (provided
that Tenant may make such communications to a governmental entity if such
communications are required by Law to be made by Tenant, provided that Landlord
is notified in advance of such communications.)
F. Landlord, at its sole cost, shall comply with all Laws regulating
Hazardous Materials affecting the Premises (without right of reimbursement from
Tenant) to the extent that such compliance is not made the responsibility of
Tenant pursuant to subparagraphs 7.2B or 7.2C.
G. As used herein, the term "Hazardous Material," means any
hazardous or toxic substance, material or waste which is or becomes regulated by
any local governmental authority, the State of California or the United States
Government. The term "Hazardous Material," includes, without limitation, any
material or substance which is (i) listed under Article 9 or defined as
hazardous or extremely hazardous pursuant to Article Il of Title 22 of the
California Administrative Code, Division 4, Chapter 20, (ii) defined as a
"hazardous waste" pursuant to Section 1004 of the Federal Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq. (42 U.S.C. 6903), (iii) defined as a
"hazardous substance" pursuant to Section 101 of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq. (42 U.S.C.
9601), (iv) a pollutant, contaminant, or hazardous, dangerous, or toxic chemical
material, or substance within the meaning of any other applicable federal,
state, or local law, regulation, ordinance, or requirement (including consent
decrees and administrative orders imposing liability or standards of conduct
concerning any hazardous, dangerous, or toxic waste, substance, or material, now
or hereafter in effect), or (v) petroleum products, radioactive material,
including any source, special nuclear, or byproduct material as defined in ▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Code Sections 2011-2297g-4; asbestos in any form or condition; and
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and substances or compounds containing PCBs.
H. As used herein, the term "Hazardous Material Law" shall mean any
statute, law, ordinance, or regulation of any governmental body or agency
(including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the California Regional
Water Quality Control Board, and the California Department of Health Services)
which regulates the use, storage, release or disposal of any Hazardous Material,
or relates to public health and safety and protection of the environment.
13
I. The obligations of Landlord and Tenant under this paragraph 7.2
shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term. The
rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant with respect to issues relating to
Hazardous Materials are exclusively established by this paragraph 7.2. In the
event of any inconsistency between any other part of this Lease and this
paragraph 7.2, the terms of this paragraph 7.2 shall control.
7.3 Utilities: Tenant shall promptly pay, as the same become due, all
----------
charges for water, gas, electricity, telephone, sewer service, waste pick-up and
any other utilities, materials or services furnished directly to or used by
Tenant on or about the Premises during the Lease Term
7.4 Compliance with Governmental Regulations: Landlord and Tenant shall
-----------------------------------------

state or local governmental agencies or utility suppliers concerning the use of
utility services, including any rationing, limitation or other control.
Landlord may voluntarily cooperate in a reasonable manner with the efforts of
all governmental agencies or utility suppliers in reducing energy or other
resource consumption, so long as such cooperation does not unreasonably
interfere with Tenant's business or result in Tenant incurring any additional
costs. Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease nor to any
abatement in rent by reason of such compliance or cooperation. Tenant agrees at
all times to cooperate fully with Landlord and to abide by all rules,
regulations and requirements which Landlord may prescribe in order to maximize
the efficient operation of the HVAC system and all other utility systems.
ARTICLE 8

REAL PROPERTY TAXES
8.1 Real Property Taxes Defined: The term "Real Property Taxes" as used
---------------------------
herein shall mean (i) all taxes, assessments, levies, and other charges of any
kind or nature whatsoever, general and special, ordinary or extraordinary,
foreseen and unforeseen (including all installments of principal and interest
required to pay any existing or future general or special assessments for public
improvements, services or benefits, and any increases resulting from
reassessments or resulting from a change in ownership or any other cause), now
or hereafter imposed by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority or
special district having the direct or indirect power to tax or levy assessments,
which are levied or assessed against, or with respect to the value, occupancy or
use of, all or any portion of the Premises (as now constructed or as may at any
time hereafter be constructed, altered, or otherwise changed) or Landlord's
interest therein, the fixtures, equipment and other property of Landlord, real
or personal, that are an integral part of and located on the Premises, the gross
receipts, income, or rentals from the Premises, or the use of parking areas,
public utilities, or energy within the Premises, and (ii) all charges, levies or
fees imposed by reason of environmental regulation or other governmental control
of the Premises (excluding charges, levies or fees directly related to the use,
storage, disposal or release of Hazardous Materials on the Premises, which
subject is governed by paragraph 7.2 hereof). If at any time during the Lease
Term the method of taxation or assessment of the Premises prevailing as of the
Effective Date shall be altered so that in lieu of or in addition to any Real
Property Tax described above there shall be levied, assessed or imposed (whether
by reason of a change in the method of taxation or assessment, creation of a new
tax or charge, or any other cause) an alternate or additional tax or charge (i)
on the value, use or occupancy of the Premises or Landlord's interest therein,
or (ii) on or measured by the gross receipts, income, or rentals from the
Premises, on Landlord's
14
business of leasing the Premises, or computed in any manner with respect to the
operation of the Premises, then any such tax or charge, however designated,
shall be included within the meaning of the term "Real Property Taxes" for
purposes of this Lease. If any Real Property Tax is based upon property or rents
unrelated to the Premises, then only that part of such Real Property Tax that is
fairly allocable to the Premises shall be included within the meaning of the
term "Real Property Taxes". Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term "Real
Property Taxes" shall not include any estate, inheritance, transfer, gift,
excise, capital stock or franchise taxes of Landlord or the local, state or
federal net income tax imposed on Landlord's income from all sources.
8.2 Tenant's Obligation to Reimburse: As Additional Rent, Tenant shall
--------------------------------
pay to Landlord all Real Property Taxes which become due during the Lease Term.
Tenant shall pay such Real Property Taxes (i) within thirty (30) days after
being billed for the same by Landlord, or (ii) no later than ten (10) days
before such Real Property Tax becomes delinquent, whichever last occurs. If
requested by Tenant in writing within thirty (30) days of receipt of a ▇▇▇▇ for
Real Property Taxes, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with such evidence as is
reasonably available to Landlord with respect to the amount of any Real Property
Tax which is part of such ▇▇▇▇. Tenant may not withhold payment of such ▇▇▇▇
pending receipt and/or review of such evidence. As provided in paragraph 3.3,
Tenant's obligation to pay Real Property Taxes pursuant to this paragraph shall
be prorated at the commencement and expiration of the Lease Term. If any Lender
requires Landlord to impound Real Property Taxes on a periodic basis during the
Lease Term, then Tenant, on notice from Landlord indicating this requirement,
shall pay a sum of money toward its liability under this Article to Landlord on
the same periodic basis in accordance with the Lender's requirements. Landlord
shall impound the Real Property Tax payments received from Tenant in accordance
with the requirements of the Lender (if any). If any assessments are levied
against the Property, Landlord may elect either to pay the assessment in full or
to allow the assessment to go to bond. If Landlord pays the assessment in full,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord each time payment of Real Property Taxes is made a
sum equal to that which would have been payable (as both principal and interest)
had Landlord allowed the assessment to go to bond.
8.3 Tenant's Right to Contest: Tenant shall have the right, by
-------------------------
appropriate proceedings, to protest or contest any assessment or reassessment of
Real Property Taxes or any change in the tax rate. Landlord shall notify Tenant
in writing of any change in the assessments or the tax rate within sufficient
time to allow Tenant to review and, if it so desires, to contest or protest such
change. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing within sixty (60) days after
receipt of Landlord's notice if Tenant elects to make a contest or protest. In
the contest or proceedings, Tenant may act in its own name and/or the name of
Landlord and Landlord will, at Tenant's request and provided Landlord is not put
to any expense thereby, cooperate with Tenant in any way Tenant may reasonably
require in connection with such contest. If Tenant does not pay the Real
Property Taxes when due which are the subject of such protest or contest, before
the commencement of the proceeding or contest Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a
surety bond issued by an insurance company qualified to do business in
California. The amount of the bond shall equal 125% of the total amount of Real
Property Taxes in dispute. The bond shall hold Landlord and the Property
harmless from any damage arising out of the proceeding or contest and shall
insure the payment of any judgment that may be rendered. Any contest conducted
by Tenant under this paragraph shall be at Tenant's expense and if interest or
late charges become payable with respect to Real Property Taxes as the result of
such contest or protest, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the same.
8.4 Taxes on Tenant's Property: Tenant shall pay before delinquency any
--------------------------
and all taxes, assessments, license fees and public charges levied, assessed or
imposed against
15
the property of Tenant situated within the Premises which become due during the
Lease Term. On demand by Landlord, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with
satisfactory evidence of these payments.
ARTICLE 9
---------
INSURANCE
9.1 Tenant's Insurance: Tenant shall maintain insurance complying with
------------------
all of the following:
A. Tenant shall procure, pay for and keep in full force and effect
the following:
(1) Comprehensive general liability insurance against liability
for personal injury, bodily injury, death and damage to property occurring in or
about, or resulting from an occurrence in or about, the Premises with combined
single limit coverage of not less than the amount of Tenant's Minimum Liability
Insurance Coverage, which insurance shall contain (i) a "contractual liability"
endorsement insuring Tenant's performance of Tenant's obligation to indemnify
Landlord contained in paragraph 10.3, and (ii) a "fire legal liability"
endorsement;
(2) Fire and property damage insurance against loss caused by
fire, extended coverage perils, pressure vessel boiler insurance, sprinkler
leakage, if applicable, vandalism, malicious mischief and such other additional
perils as now are or hereafter may be included in a standard extended coverage
endorsement from time to time in general use in the county in which the Premises
are located, insuring Tenant's personal property, inventory, Trade Fixtures and
Leasehold Improvements within the Premises for the full actual replacement cost
thereof; and
(3) Such other insurance that is reasonably required by Landlord
and customarily carried by tenants of similar property in the area at the time.
B. Each policy of insurance required to be carried by Tenant
pursuant to this paragraph other than the insurance described by subparagraph
9.1A(2) shall name Landlord and such other parties in interest as Landlord
reasonably designates as additional insureds; (ii) shall be primary insurance
which provides 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 declarations
without the right of contribution from any other insurance coverage of Landlord;
(iii) shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord; (iv) shall be
carried with companies reasonably acceptable to Landlord; (v) shall provide that
such policy shall not be subject to cancellation or lapse except after at least
thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord; (vi) shall contain a cross
liability endorsement; (vii) shall contain a waiver by the insurer of any right
to subrogation against Landlord, its agents, employees and contractors which
might arise by reason of any payment under such policy or by reason of any act
or omission of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors; and (viii) shall
contain a "severability" clause. If Tenant has in full force and effect a
blanket policy of liability insurance with the same coverage for the Premises as
described above, as well as other coverage of other premises and properties of
Tenant, or in which Tenant has some interest, such blanket insurance shall
satisfy the requirements hereof.
C. A copy of each paid-up policy evidencing the insurance required
to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this paragraph (appropriately authenticated
by the insurer)
16
or a certificate of the insurer, certifying that such policy has been issued,
providing the coverage required by this paragraph, and containing the provisions
specified herein, shall be delivered to Landlord prior to the time Tenant or any
of its contractors enters the Premises and upon renewal of such policies, but
not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the term of such
coverage. If Landlord's lender or insurance advisor reasonably determines at any
time that the amount of coverage required for any policy of insurance Tenant is
to obtain pursuant to this paragraph is not adequate, then Tenant shall increase
such coverage for such insurance to such amount as Landlord's lender, insurance
advisor or counsel reasonably deems adequate, not to exceed the level of
coverage commonly carried by comparable businesses similarly situated for such
insurance.
9.2 Landlord's Insurance: Landlord shall have the following obligations
--------------------
and options regarding insurance:
A. Landlord shall maintain a policy or policies of fire and property
damage insurance in so-called "all risk" form (including such perils as are
commonly covered by such form of coverage) insuring Landlord (and such others as
Landlord may designate) against loss of rents (including Monthly Base Rent and
Additional Rent) for a period of not less than twelve (12) months and from
physical damage to the Improvements with coverage of not less than the full
replacement cost thereof. Landlord may so insure the Improvements separately, or
may insure the Improvements with other property owned by Landlord which Landlord
elects to insure together under the same policy or policies. Such fire and
property damage insurance, at Landlord's election, (i) may provide coverage for
physical damage to the Improvements so insured up to the then full replacement
cost thereof, (ii) may be endorsed to cover loss caused by such additional
perils against which Landlord may reasonably elect to insure, including
earthquake and/or flood (to the extent such insurance is available on commercial
reasonable terms), (iii) may contain reasonable "deductibles" which in the case
of the "all-risk" insurance shall not exceed Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars
($25,000) without the prior approval of Tenant and which, in the case of
earthquake and flood insurance, may be up to ten percent (10%) of the
replacement value of the property insured or such higher amount as is then
commercially reasonable, and (iv) may contain additional endorsements or
coverage reasonably required by Landlord or any Lender, including an "agreed
amount" endorsement, demolition insurance, and difference in condition coverage.
Landlord shall not be required to cause such insurance to cover any Trade
Fixtures, Leasehold Improvements or any inventory or other personal property of
Tenant.
B. Landlord may maintain a policy or policies of comprehensive
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 or resulting from an occurrence in, on or about the
Premises with combined single limit coverage in such amount as Landlord may from
time to time determine is reasonably necessary for its protection.
C. Each policy of insurance required to be carried or actually
carried pursuant to subparagraph 9.2A shall contain a waiver by the insurer of
any right to subrogation against Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors,
subtenants, successors and assigns which might arise by reason of any payment
under such policy or by reason of any act or omission of Tenant, its agents,
employees, contractors, subtenants, successors and assigns; (ii) shall provide,
if the policy is a blanket policy, that the amount of insurance proceeds
available under such policy shall not be reduced, due to other losses insured
against by the same policy, to less than the amount of insurance Landlord is
required to maintain pursuant to this Lease; and (iii) shall contain a
"severability" clause (where applicable).
17
9.3 Tenant's Obligation to Reimburse: The cost of the insurance premiums
--------------------------------
carried pursuant to paragraph 9.2 shall be paid by Tenant within ten (10) days
after written request therefor from Landlord. Tenant shall also be liable for
the "deductibles" with respect to any loss or losses covered by insurance
carried by Landlord pursuant to paragraph 9.2 of this Lease, provided that the
aggregate amount of such "deductibles" per casualty does not exceed an amount
equal to Ten Percent (10%) of the replacement cost of the Improvements
("Tenant's Share of Deductibles"). If the deductibles are greater than the
amount equal to Tenant's Share of Deductibles and Tenant refuses to pay such
excess amount, Landlord may (i) terminate this Lease or (ii) keep the Lease is
full force and effect and pay such excess amount at its sole cost and expense,
without any right of reimbursement from Tenant. If the "deductibles" are less
than or equal to Tenant's Share of Deductibles or if Landlord does not elect to
terminate this Lease, Tenant shall pay Tenant's Share of Deductibles to Landlord
as follows: (i) an amount equal to one (1) month's Monthly Base Rent shall be
paid to Landlord within ten (10) days after Tenant receives written notice from
Landlord of the total deductible due and owing; and (ii) the rest of
"deductibles" owed by Tenant (not to exceed ten percent (10%) of the replacement
cost of the Improvements minus an amount equal to one (1) month's Base Monthly
Rent) shall be amortized in accordance with Paragraph 5.4 of this Lease.
9.4 Release and Waiver of Subrogation: Notwithstanding anything to the
---------------------------------
contrary in this Lease: the parties hereto release and waive their respective
rights of recovery against each other, and their respective agents, employees,
contractors, invitees, successors, subtenants and assigns and from any liability
for injury to any person or damage to property that is caused by or results from
any risk insured against under any valid and collectible insurance policy
carried by either of the parties which contains a waiver of subrogation by the
insurer and is in force at the time of such injury or damage or any insurance
policy required to be maintained under this Lease, regardless of the negligence
or willful misconduct of the entity so released; provided, however, that any
such person or entity shall not be released from such liability to the extent
any damages resulting from such injury or damage are not covered by the recovery
obtained by the insured from such insurance, but only if the insurance in
question permits such partial release in connection with obtaining a waiver of
subrogation from the insurer. This release shall be in effect only so long as
the applicable insurance policy contains a clause to the effect that this
release shall not affect the right of the insured to recover under such policy.
Each party shall use its best efforts to cause each insurance policy obtained by
it to provide that the insurer waives all right of recovery by way of
subrogation against the other party and its agents and employees in connection
with any injury or damage covered by such policy. However, if any insurance
policy cannot be obtained with such a waiver of subrogation, or if such waiver
of subrogation is only available at additional cost and the party for whose
benefit the waiver is to be obtained does not pay such additional cost, then the
party obtaining such insurance shall notify the other party of that fact and
thereupon shall be relieved of the obligation to obtain such waiver of
subrogation rights from the insurer with respect to the particular insurance
involved.
ARTICLE 10
----------
LIMITATION ON LANDLORD'S LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY
10.1 Limitation on Landlord's Liability: Landlord shall not be liable to
----------------------------------
Tenant, nor shall Tenant be entitled to terminate this Lease or to any abatement
of rent, for any injury to Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors or
invitees, damage to Tenant's property, or loss to Tenant's business resulting
from any (i) failure or interruption of any
18
HVAC or other utility system or service; (ii) failure to furnish or delay in
furnishing any utilities or services when such failure or delay is caused by
Acts of God or the elements, labor disturbances of any character, any other
accidents or other conditions beyond the reasonable control of Landlord; (iii)
maintenance, repairs or improvements to the Premises; (iv) limitation,
curtailment, rationing or restriction on the use of water or electricity, gas or
any other form of energy or any services or utility serving the Premises; or (v)
vandalism or forcible entry by unauthorized persons. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Landlord shall be liable for any such injury, damage or loss which is
caused by Landlord's negligence or willful misconduct of which Landlord has
actual notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure but which it fails to so cure
to the extent such injury, damage or loss is not covered by insurance proceeds
actually received. This exculpation clause shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of the Lease until all claims are barred, and shall not be
interpreted or construed as an attempt by Landlord to be relieved of all
liability arising out of a nondelegable duty on the part of Landlord. Tenant
acknowledges that this Section 10.1 was negotiated with the Landlord, that the
consideration for it is fair and adequate, and that Tenant had a fair
opportunity to negotiate, accept, reject, modify or alter it.
10.2 Limitation on Tenant's Recourse: So long as the Landlord is a
-------------------------------
corporation, trust, partnership, joint venture, unincorporated association or
other form of business entity, (i) the obligations of Landlord shall not
constitute personal obligations of the officers, directors, trustees, partners,
joint venturers, members, owners, stockholders, or other principals or
representatives of such business entity, and (ii) Tenant shall have recourse
only to the assets of such business entity for the satisfaction of such
obligations and not against the assets of such officers, directors, trustees,
partners, joint venturers, members, owners, stockholders, principals or
representatives, other than to the extent of their interests in the assets owned
by such business entity.
10.3 Indemnification of Landlord: Tenant shall hold harmless, indemnify
---------------------------
and defend Landlord, and its employees, agents and contractors, with competent
counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, from all liability, penalties,
losses, damages, costs, expenses, causes of action, claims and/or judgments
arising by reason of any death, bodily injury, personal injury or property
damage (i) resulting from any cause or causes whatsoever (other than the
negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord) occurring in or about the Premises
after the Commencement Date, or (ii) resulting from the negligence or willful
misconduct of Tenant, its agents, employees and contractors, wherever and
whenever the same may occur. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the
expiration or sooner termination of this Lease with respect to any claims or
liability occurring prior to such expiration or sooner termination.
10.4 Indemnification of Tenant: Notwithstanding anything contained in this
-------------------------
Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall neither release Landlord from, nor indemnify
Landlord with respect to, and Landlord shall indemnify and hold harmless Tenant
from all losses, costs, claims and damages (including reasonable attorneys'
fees) arising from or relating to: (i) the negligence or willful misconduct of
Landlord or its agents, employees or contractors; or (ii) a breach of Landlord's
obligations under this Lease.

DAMAGE TO PREMISES
11.1 Landlord's Duty to Restore: If the Premises are damaged by any peril
--------------------------
after the Effective Date of this Lease, Landlord shall restore the Premises
unless the Lease is terminated by Landlord pursuant to paragraph 11.2 or by
Tenant pursuant to paragraph 11.3. All insurance proceeds available from the
fire and property damage insurance carried
19
by Landlord pursuant to paragraph 9.2 shall be paid to and become the property
of Landlord. If this Lease is terminated pursuant to either paragraphs 11.2 or
11.3, then all insurance proceeds available from insurance carried by Tenant
which covers loss to property that is Landlord's property or would become
Landlord's property on termination of this Lease shall be paid to and become the
property of Landlord. If this Lease is not so terminated, then upon receipt of
the insurance proceeds (if the loss is covered by insurance) and the issuance of
all necessary governmental permits, Landlord shall commence and diligently
prosecute to completion the restoration of the Premises, to the extent then
allowed by Law, to substantially the same condition in which the Premises were
immediately prior to such damage. Landlord's obligation to restore shall be
limited to the Premises and Improvements constructed by Landlord as they existed
as of the Commencement Date, excluding any Leasehold Improvements, Trade
Fixtures and/or personal property constructed or installed by Tenant in the
Premises. Tenant shall forthwith replace or fully repair all Leasehold
Improvements installed by Tenant and existing at the time of such damage or
destruction, to the extent required by Tenant for its business operations in the
Premises.
11.2 Landlord's Right to Terminate: Landlord shall have the right to
-----------------------------
terminate this Lease in the event any of the following occurs, which right 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:
A. The Improvements are damaged by an Insured Peril within the last
three (3) years of the Lease Term (or Option Term) to such an extent that the
estimated cost to restore equals or exceeds seventy-five percent (75%) of the
then actual replacement cost of the Premises;
B. The Improvements are damaged by an Uninsured Peril, to such an
extent that the estimated cost to restore (in excess of the proceeds available,
if any) exceeds ten percent (10%) of the replacement cost of the Premises;
provided, however, that Landlord may not terminate the Lease pursuant to this
subparagraph 11.2B if Tenant agrees in writing to pay the amount by which the
restoration cost exceeds ten percent (10%) of the replacement cost of the
Premises and deposits an amount equal to the estimated amount of such excess
with Landlord within thirty (30) days after Landlord has notified Tenant of its
election to terminate the Lease pursuant to this subparagraph 11.2B;
C. The Improvements are damaged by any peril within twelve (12)
months of the last day of the Lease Term (or Option Term) to such an extent that
the estimated cost to restore exceeds an amount equal to six (6) times the Base
Monthly Rent then due; provided, however, that Landlord may not terminate this
Lease pursuant to this subparagraph 11.2C if Tenant, at the time of such damage,
has a then valid written option to extend the Lease Term and Tenant exercises
such option to extend the Lease Term within thirty (30) days following the date
of such damage; or
D. The Improvements are damaged by any peril and, because of the
Laws then in force, may not be restored at reasonable cost to substantially the
same condition in which they were prior to such damage because of a substantial
increase in the cost of restoration directly related to changes in Laws that
have occurred since the Improvements were constructed which substantial increase
is not covered by insurance proceeds actually recovered by Landlord; provided,
however, that Landlord may not terminate the Lease pursuant to this subparagraph
11.2D if (i) Tenant agrees in writing to pay the additional restoration costs
directly related to changes in Laws that have occurred since the Improvements
were constructed to the extent it is not covered by insurance proceeds actually
recovered by Landlord, and Tenant deposits such amount within thirty
20
(30) days after Landlord has exercised its option to terminate the Lease, or
(ii) the Improvements may be redesigned in a manner that does not materially
change their size, configuration or value which redesign would result in
Landlord being able to restore the Improvements at reasonable cost and would not
result in there being insufficient insurance proceeds actually recovered by
Landlord so long as Landlord and Tenant reach agreement upon such redesign
within sixty (60) days after Landlord has exercised its option to terminate the
Lease. For purposes of this subparagraph 11.2D, a "substantial increase in the
cost of restoration" shall mean an increase of ten percent (10%) or more over
what the restoration costs would have been had no changes in the Laws occurred
since the Improvements were originally constructed.
E. If Tenant elects to make a deposit to avoid a termination of this
Lease by Landlord pursuant to subparagraph 11.2B or 11.2D, the following shall
apply to such deposit: (i) the deposit may be in the form of cash or an
irrevocable letter of credit; (ii) any irrevocable letter of credit provided by
Tenant to satisfy this requirement must be payable to Landlord, be in the amount
of the required deposit, be in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and
provide for the disbursal of funds to Landlord upon Landlord's certification
that the same are needed to pay for restoration costs actually incurred; and
(iii) the deposit shall be disbursed to Landlord as it is needed to pay
restoration costs as they come due on a progress payment basis in accordance
with good construction lending practices, and Tenant shall take such action as
is necessary to cause the deposit to be so disbursed.
F. As used herein, the following terms shall have the following
meanings:
(1) The term "Insured Peril" shall mean a peril actually insured
against for which the insurance proceeds are sufficient (except for any
"deductible" amount specified by such insurance) to restore the Improvements
under then-existing building codes to the condition existing immediately prior
to the damage;
(2) The term "Uninsured Peril" means a peril not actually
insured against, or a peril actually insured against but for which the insurance
proceeds are for any reason (except for any "deductible" amount specified by
such insurance and complying with this Lease) insufficient to restore the
Premises under then-existing building codes to the condition existing
immediately prior to the damage.
11.3 Tenant's Right to Terminate: If the Improvements are damaged by any
---------------------------
peril and Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease or is not entitled to
terminate this Lease pursuant to paragraph 11.2, 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 completed. Tenant shall have the right to terminate
this Lease in the event any of the following occurs, which right may be
exercised only by delivery to Landlord of a written notice of election to
terminate on or before the later to occur of the thirtieth (30) day after the
date of such damage or Tenant receives from Landlord the estimate of the time
needed to complete such restoration:
A. The Improvements are damaged by any peril and, in the reasonable
opinion of Landlord's architect or construction consultant, the restoration of
the Improvements under then-existing building codes to the condition existing
immediately prior to the damage cannot be substantially completed within one (1)
year after the date of such damage or the Improvements are not in fact restored
to said condition within said one (1) year period; or
21
B. The Improvements are damaged by any peril within twelve (12)
months of the last day of the Lease Term and in the reasonable opinion of
Landlord's architect or construction consultant the restoration of the
Improvements under then-existing building codes to the condition existing
immediately prior to the damage cannot be substantially completed within ninety
(90) days after the date of such damage or are not in fact restored to said
condition within said ninety (90) day period.
11.4 Abatement of Rent: In the event of damage to the Improvements, the
-----------------
Base Monthly Rent and Additional Rent shall be temporarily abated from the date
of the damage until the date of substantial completion of restoration of the
Improvements, in proportion to the degree to which Tenant's use of the Premises
is impaired by such damage and only to the extent that Landlord is reimbursed
from the proceeds of rental interruption insurance as provided for herein.
Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for
loss or interruption of Tenant's business or property loss or for any
inconvenience or annoyance caused by such damage or restoration. Tenant hereby
waives the provisions of Section 1932, Subdivision 2, and Section 1933,
Subdivision 4, of the California Civil Code, and the provisions of any similar
law hereinafter enacted.

CONDEMNATION
12.1 Termination by Landlord: Landlord shall have the right to terminate
-----------------------
this Lease if, as a result of a taking by means of the exercise of the power of
eminent domain (including a voluntary sale or transfer by Landlord to a
condemnor under threat of condemnation), (i) all of the Premises is so taken,
(ii) more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the area of the Building is so
taken, or (iii) more than fifty percent (50%) of the land area of the Premises
is so taken. Any such right to terminate by Landlord must be exercised within a
reasonable period of time after the condemnor has commenced judicial action or
entered into a binding agreement to effect such taking, using all reasonable
efforts to provide Tenant with at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior
notice of the date upon which possession is to be taken by the condemnor. If
Landlord so exercises such option to terminate, such termination shall be
effective as of the date possession is taken by the condemnor
12.2 Termination by Tenant: Tenant shall have the right to terminate this
---------------------
Lease if, as a result of any taking by means of the exercise of the power of
eminent domain (including any voluntary sale or transfer by Landlord to any
condemnor under threat of condemnation), (i) all of the Premises is so taken,
(ii) twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the area of the Building is so taken
and that part of the Building that remains cannot be restored within a
reasonable period of time and thereby made reasonably suitable for the continued
operation of the Tenant's business, or (iii) there is a taking of the land area
of the Premises and, as a result of such taking, Landlord cannot provide parking
spaces within walking distance of the Premises equal in number to at least
ninety percent (90%) of the number of spaces that existed prior to the
condemnation, whether by rearrangement of the remaining parking areas (including
construction of multi-deck parking structures or re-striping for compact cars
where permitted by Law) or by alternative parking facilities on other land.
Tenant must exercise such right within one hundred and eighty (180) days after
Tenant has been notified in writing by Landlord that the condemnor has commenced
judicial action or entered into a binding agreement to effect such taking. If
Tenant so exercises such option to terminate, such termination shall be
effective on the date that possession is taken by the condemnor.
22
12.3 Restoration and Abatement of Rent: If any part of the Premises is
---------------------------------
taken by condemnation and this Lease is not terminated, then Landlord shall
restore the remaining portion of the Premises to substantially the same
condition in which they existed as of the Commencement Date, excluding any
Leasehold Improvements, Trade Fixtures and/or personal property constructed or
installed by Tenant. Thereafter, except in the case of a temporary taking, as
of the date possession is taken the Base Monthly Rent and Additional Rent shall
be reduced in the proportion to the degree to which Tenant's use of the Premises
is impaired by such damage.
12.4 Temporary Taking: If any portion of the Premises is temporarily taken
----------------
for nine (9) months or less, this Lease shall remain in effect, but Tenant shall
be entitled to recover any award that is made for such taking. If any portion
of the Premises is temporarily taken by condemnation for a period which exceeds
nine (9) months or which extends beyond the natural expiration of the Lease
Term, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease, effective on the
date possession is taken by the condemnor.
12.5 Division of Condemnation Award: Any award made as a result of any
------------------------------
condemnation of the Premises shall belong to and be paid to Landlord, and Tenant
hereby assigns to Landlord all of its right, title and interest in any such
award; provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to receive any
condemnation award for any temporary taking where this Lease is not terminated
as a result of such taking or that is made directly to Tenant (i) for the taking
of personal property or Trade Fixtures of Tenant, (ii) for the interruption of
Tenant's business or its moving costs, (iii) for loss of Tenant's goodwill, (iv)
the value of any Leasehold Improvements installed at Tenant's expense which
Tenant has the right to remove, or (v) the unamortized value of Leasehold
Improvements installed at Tenant's expense which Tenant does not have the right
to remove. The rights of Landlord and Tenant regarding any condemnation shall
be determined as provided in this Article, and each party hereby waives the
provisions of Section 1265.130 of the California Code of Civil Procedure and the
provisions of any similar law hereinafter enacted allowing either party to
petition the Superior Court to terminate this Lease in the event of a partial
taking of the Premises.
ARTICLE 13
----------
DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
13.1 Events of Tenant's Default: Tenant shall be in default of its
--------------------------
obligations under this Lease if any of the following events (an "Event of
Default") occurs:
A. Tenant shall have failed to pay Base Monthly Rent or any
Additional Rent when due and such failure is not cured within five (5) days
after receipt of written notice from Landlord specifying such failure to pay; or
B. Tenant shall have failed to perform any term, covenant, or
condition of this Lease except those requiring the payment of Base Monthly Rent
or Additional Rent, and Tenant shall have failed to cure such breach within
thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from Landlord specifying the
nature of such breach where such breach could reasonably be cured within said
thirty (30) day period, or fails to commence such cure within said thirty (30)
day period and thereafter continuously with due diligence to prosecute such cure
to completion where such breach could not reasonably be cured within said thirty
(30) day period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
13.1B, in the event Tenant fails to perform any of its obligations under this
Lease and such failure poses imminent danger of materially interfering with
Landlord's business or causing injury to persons or property, if Tenant does not
commence the cure of such default within
23
five (5) days after written notice from Landlord specifying the nature of such
default, then Landlord may immediately take action to cure such default, and
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in
connection with curing such default within five (5) days after receipt of a
written demand therefor; or
C. Tenant shall have made a general assignment of its assets for the
benefit of its creditors; or
D. Tenant shall have permitted the sequestration or attachment of,
or execution on, or the appointment of a custodian or receiver with respect to,
all or any substantial part of the property of Tenant or any property essential
to the conduct of Tenant's business, and Tenant shall have failed to obtain a
return or release of such property within sixty (60) days thereafter or prior to
sale pursuant to such sequestration, attachment or levy, whichever is earlier;
or
E. A court shall have made or entered any decree or order with
respect to Tenant, or Tenant shall have submitted to or sought a decree or order
(or a petition or pleading shall have been filed in connection therewith) which:
(i) grants or constitutes (or seeks) an order for relief, appointment of a
trustee, or confirmation of a reorganization plan under the bankruptcy laws of
the United States; (ii) approves as properly filed (or seeks such approval of) a
petition seeking liquidation or reorganization under said bankruptcy laws or any
other debtor's relief law or statute of the United States or any state thereof;
or (iii) otherwise directs (or seeks) the winding up or liquidation of Tenant;
and such petition, decree or order shall have continued in effect for a period
of sixty (60) or more days; or
13.2 Landlord's Remedies: Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by
-------------------
Tenant, Landlord shall have the following remedies, in addition to all other
rights and remedies provided by any Law or equity 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 (i) the right to recover the rent and other sums as
they become due by appropriate legal action, (ii) the right but not the
obligation to make payments required of Tenant or perform Tenant's obligations
and the right to be reimbursed by Tenant for the cost thereof with interest at
the Agreed Interest Rate from the date the sum is paid by Landlord until
Landlord is reimbursed by Tenant, and (iii) the right to bring an action in law
or equity to enforce Landlord's rights and remedies, including the remedies of
injunctive relief and specific performance to compel Tenant to perform its
obligations under this Lease.
B. Landlord may, at Landlord's election, terminate this Lease by
giving Tenant written notice of termination, in which event this Lease shall
terminate on the date set forth for termination in such notice (the "Termination
Date"). Tenant shall surrender possession to Landlord on or before the
Termination Date. Any termination under this subparagraph shall not relieve
Tenant from its obligation to pay sums then due Landlord under the terms of this
Lease, including any obligation of Tenant to indemnify Landlord set forth in
this Lease, or from any claim against Tenant for damages or rent previously
accrued or then 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 Premises or assignment of this Lease by Tenant,
whether pursuant to the provisions hereof or otherwise; (iii) any action taken
to maintain and preserve the Premises; or (iv) any action
24
taken to relet the Premises or any portions thereof, for the account of Tenant
and in the name of Tenant.
C. If an Event of Default occurs and Tenant abandons the Premises,
this Lease shall not terminate unless Landlord gives Tenant written notice of
its election to so terminate this Lease. No act by or on behalf of Landlord
intended to mitigate the adverse effect of such breach, including those
described by the third sentence of subparagraph 13.2B immediately preceding,
shall constitute a termination of Tenant's right to possession unless Landlord
gives Tenant written notice of termination. Should Landlord not terminate this
Lease by giving Tenant written notice, Landlord may enforce all its rights and
remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the rent as it becomes
due under the Lease as provided in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 as in
effect on the Effective Date of this Lease.
D. In the event Landlord terminates this Lease, Landlord shall be
entitled, at Landlord's election, to damages in an amount as set forth 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 Agreed Interest Rate shall be used where permitted.
Such damages shall include without limitation:
(1) The worth at the time of award of any unpaid Rent which had
been earned as of the Termination Date, to be computed by allowing interest at
the Agreed Rate (but in no case greater than the maximum amount of interest
permitted by Law);
(2) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the
unpaid Rent which would have been earned between the Termination Date and the
time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could
have been reasonably avoided, to be computed by allowing interest at the Agreed
Rate (but in no case greater than the maximum amount of interest permitted by
Law);
(3) 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 (1%); and
(4) 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.
(5) For purposes of this Article, (i) the term "rent" includes
the Base Monthly Rent and all Additional Rent, and (ii) if it becomes necessary
to determine the amount of Additional Rent that would have become due had Tenant
not breached its obligations under this Lease, all such Additional Rent shall be
computed on the basis of the average monthly amount thereof accruing during the
Lease Term as of the date of termination.
13.3 Landlord's Default and Tenant's Remedies: In the event Landlord fails
----------------------------------------
to perform any of its obligations under this Lease and fails to cure such
default within thirty (30) days after written notice from Tenant specifying the
nature of such default where such default could reasonably be cured within said
thirty (30) day period, or fails to commence such cure within said thirty (30)
day period and thereafter continuously with due diligence to prosecute such cure
to completion where such default could not reasonably be cured
25
within said thirty (30) day period, then Tenant shall have all rights and
remedies that exist at law or in equity, including without limitation the right
to compel Landlord to perform its obligations and/or to recover damages caused
by such failure to perform. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Landlord
fails to perform any of its obligations under this Lease and such failure poses
imminent danger of materially interfering with Tenant's business or causing
injury to persons or property, if Landlord does not commence the cure of such
default within five (5) days after written notice from Tenant specifying the
nature of such default, then Tenant may immediately take action to cure such
default, and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for all reasonable costs incurred
by Tenant in connection with curing such default within five (5) days after
receipt of a written demand therefor. Tenant waives the provisions of Sections
1931(2), 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code 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 the
Lease.
13.4 Waiver: One party's consent to or approval of any act by the other
------
party requiring the first party's consent or approval shall not be deemed to
waive or render unnecessary the first party's consent to or approval of any
subsequent similar act by the other party. The receipt by Landlord of any rent
or payment with or without knowledge of the breach of any other provision hereof
shall not be deemed a waiver of any such breach unless such waiver is in writing
and signed by Landlord. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or
remedy accruing to either party upon any breach by the other party under this
Lease shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver of any such
breach theretofore or thereafter occurring. The waiver by either party of any
breach of any provision of this Lease shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any
subsequent breach of the same or of any other provisions herein contained. No
receipt by Landlord of a lesser payment than any amount due under this Lease
shall be considered to be other than on account of the earliest amount due, and
no endorsement or statement on any check or letter accompanying a payment or
check shall be considered an accord and satisfaction. Landlord may accept
checks or payments without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover all amounts
due and pursue all other remedies provided for in this Lease. Landlord's
receipt of monies from Tenant after giving notice to Tenant terminating this
Lease shall in no way reinstate, continue, or extend the Lease Term or affect
the Termination Notice given before the receipt of those monies. After serving
notice terminating this Lease, filing an action, or obtaining final judgment for
possession of the Premises, Landlord may receive and collect any Rent due, and
the payment of that Rent shall not waive or affect such prior notice, action, or
judgment.
ARTICLE 14
----------
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
14.1 By Tenant: The following provisions shall apply to any assignment,
---------
subletting or other transfer by Tenant or any subtenant or assignee or other
successor in interest of the original Tenant (collectively referred to in this
paragraph as "Tenant"):
A. Tenant shall not do any of the following (collectively referred
to herein as a "Transfer"), whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation
of law, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed: (i) sublet all or any part of the Premises
or allow it to be sublet, occupied or used by any person or entity other than
Tenant; (ii) assign its interest in this Lease; (iii) transfer any right
appurtenant to this Lease or the Premises; or (iv) mortgage or encumber the
Lease (or otherwise use the Lease as a security device) in any manner. Any
Transfer so approved by Landlord shall not be effective until Tenant has
delivered to Landlord an executed counterpart of the document evidencing the
Transfer which (i) is in a form reasonably
26
approved by Landlord, (ii) contains the same terms and conditions as stated in
Tenant's notice given to Landlord pursuant to subparagraph 14.1B below, and
(iii) in the case of an assignment contains the agreement of the proposed
transferee to assume all obligations of Tenant related to the Transfer arising
after the effective date of such Transfer. If Landlord fails to respond in
writing to Tenant's request for Landlord's consent to a Transfer within fifteen
(15) days of receipt of such request, Landlord will be deemed to have consented
to such Transfer. Any attempted Transfer without Landlord's consent shall
constitute a default by Tenant and shall be voidable at Landlord's option.
Landlord's consent to any one Transfer shall not constitute a waiver of the
provisions of this paragraph 14.1 as to any subsequent Transfer nor a consent to
any subsequent Transfer. No Transfer, even with the consent of Landlord, shall
relieve Tenant of its personal and primary obligation to pay the rent and to
perform all of the other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The
acceptance of rent by Landlord from any person shall not be deemed to be a
waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease nor to be a consent to any
Transfer.
B. Tenant shall give Landlord at least fifteen (15) days prior
written notice of any desired Transfer and of the proposed terms of such
Transfer including but not limited to (i) the name and legal composition of the
proposed transferee; (ii) a current financial statement of the transferee, and
(if readily available) an audited financial statement of the transferee for a
period ending not more than one year prior to the proposed effective date of the
Transfer, all of which statements are prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles; (iii) the nature of the proposed transferee's
business to be carried on in the Premises; and (iv) such other information as
may be reasonably requested by Landlord. Tenant's notice shall not be deemed to
have been served or given until such time as Tenant has provided Landlord with
all information reasonably requested by Landlord pursuant to this subparagraph
14.1B. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of any modification to the
proposed terms of such Transfer.
C. If Tenant is a corporation, the sale or transfer in the aggregate
over the Lease Term of a controlling percentage of the capital stock of Tenant,
shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of Tenant's interest in this Lease;
provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to corporations the
capital stock of which is publicly traded. The phrase "controlling percentage"
means the ownership of and the right to vote stock possessing more than fifty
percent (50%) 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. If Tenant is a partnership, any withdrawal or substitution (whether
voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, and whether occurring at one time
or over a period of time) of any partner(s) owning fifty percent (50%) or more
(cumulatively) of any interest in the capital or profits of the partnership, or
the dissolution of the partnership, shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of
Tenant's interest in this Lease.
D. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 14, so long as
Tenant otherwise complies with the provisions of this paragraph, Tenant may
enter into any of the following transfers (a "Permitted Transfer") without
Landlord's prior written consent:
(1) Tenant may sublease all or part of the Premises or assign
its interest in this Lease to any Tenant Affiliate (as defined in paragraph
1.19).
(2) Tenant may assign its interest in the Lease to a corporation
which results from a merger, consolidation or other reorganization in which
Tenant is not the surviving corporation so long as the surviving corporation has
a net worth at the time of such assignment that is equal to or greater than the
net worth of Tenant at the time of transfer.
27
(3) Tenant may assign this Lease to a corporation which
purchases or otherwise acquires all or substantially all of the assets of
Tenant, so long as such acquiring corporation has a net worth at the time of
such assignment that is equal to or greater than the net worth of Tenant at the
time of transfer.
14.2 By Landlord:
------------
A. Prior to Substantial Completion of the Improvements and
correction and repair of any deficiencies thereof listed on the punch list (as
said terms are defined in, and in accordance with, the Improvement Agreement
attached hereto as Exhibit "C"), ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, and
-----------
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall have the one time right to assign or transfer their
entire interest in the Premises and/or Lease only if such transferee expressly
assumes in writing all of Landlord's obligations and liabilities pursuant to the
Lease, and only if ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇
(the "Original Landlords"), personally, and jointly and severally, guarantee all
of the "Landlord's" obligations and liabilities under this Lease in accordance
with the terms and conditions of that certain Guaranty, a copy of which is
attached hereto as Exhibit "E" (the "Guaranty"). Each Original Landlord shall
-----------
execute the Guaranty and their individual spouses, if any, shall each execute a
Consent to Guaranty, and the Original Landlords shall deliver both the Guaranty
and Consent(s) to Guaranty (if any) to Tenant prior to the effective date of any
such assignment or transfer of the Premises and/or this Lease by the Original
Landlords. The Original Landlords' failure to execute and deliver the Guaranty
and Consent(s) to Guaranty, if applicable, to Tenant on or before the effective
date of such assignment or transfer of the Premises and/or this Lease in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit "E", shall constitute a Default by Landlord
-----------
under this Lease, and Tenant shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to
terminate this Lease upon written notice to Landlord, and any such assignment or
transfer shall be null and void. If, and only if, Tenant actually receives an
original Guaranty, fully executed by each Original Landlord, and Consent(s) to
Guaranty, if any, from all of the spouses of the Original Landlords, then, and
only then, shall the Original Landlords be released and relieved of any further
obligations as the "Landlord" under this Lease, it being agreed to and intended
that from and after the effective date of any such assignment or transfer that
the Original Landlords shall instead be personally, and jointly and severally,
liable for all payment and performance obligations of the "Landlord" under this
Lease in accordance with the terms of the Guaranty.
B. Following Substantial Completion of the Improvements and
correction and repair of any deficiencies thereof listed on the punch list (as
said terms are defined in, and in accordance with, the Improvement Agreement
attached hereto as Exhibit "C"), Landlord and its successors in interest shall
-----------
have the right to transfer its interest in the Premises at any time thereafter
and to any person or entity provided such transferee expressly assumes in
writing all of Landlord's obligations and liabilities pursuant to the Lease. 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 the performance of the obligations of the
Landlord hereunder which may accrue after the date of such transfer. After the
date of any such transfer, the term "Landlord" as used herein shall mean the
transferee of such interest in the Premises.

ARTICLE 15
----------
GENERAL PROVISIONS
15.1 Landlord's Right to Enter: Landlord and its agents may enter the
-------------------------
Premises at any reasonable time upon at least twenty four (24) hours' prior
written notice (except in the case of emergency) for the purpose of (i)
inspecting the same; (ii) posting notices of non-responsibility, (iii) supplying
any service to be provided by Landlord to Tenant, (iv) showing the Premises to
prospective purchasers, mortgagees or tenants (provided, however, that Landlord
may only show the Premises to prospective tenants during the last six (6) months
of the Lease Term or at any time after an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing), (v) making necessary alterations, additions or repairs, (vi)
performing Tenant's obligations when Tenant has failed to do so after written
notice from Landlord, (vii) placing upon the Premises ordinary "for lease" signs
(during the last six (6) months of the Lease Term only) or "for sale" signs,
and/or (viii) in case of an emergency. During any such entry, Landlord (i)
shall be accompanied by a representative of Tenant (if Tenant requests and
provides such representative), (ii) shall comply with all security procedures of
Tenant while therein, and (iii) shall at all times minimize interference with
Tenant's business and use of the Premises. In the event of an emergency,
Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means Landlord may deem
necessary and proper to open the doors of the Premises. Any entry into the
Premises or portions thereof obtained by Landlord by said means shall not under
any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry
into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an eviction, actual or constructive, of
Tenant from the Premises or any portion thereof.
15.2 Surrender of the Premises: Immediately prior to the expiration or
-------------------------
upon the sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove all Tenant's
Trade Fixtures and other personal property, and shall vacate and surrender the
Premises to Landlord in the same condition as existed at the Commencement Date,
reasonable wear and tear, damage caused by fire, other perils or condemnation
and damage caused by Landlord's negligence or willful misconduct excepted, with
all interior walls cleaned, all carpets shampooed and cleaned, all HVAC
equipment within the Premises in operating order and in good repair, and all
floors cleaned, all to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord. If Landlord so
requests, Tenant shall, prior to the expiration or sooner termination of this
Lease, remove any Leasehold Improvements designated by Landlord and repair all
damage caused by such removal if Tenant is required to so remove such Leasehold
Improvements pursuant to paragraph 5.2. If the Premises are not so surrendered
at the termination of this Lease, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all
reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in returning the Premises to the required
condition, plus interest on all such costs incurred at the Agreed Interest Rate.
15.3 Holding Over: This Lease shall terminate without further notice at
------------
the expiration of the Lease Term. Any holding over by Tenant after expiration
of the Lease Term shall not constitute a renewal or extension of the Lease or
give Tenant any rights in or to the Premises except as expressly provided in
this Lease. Any holding over after such expiration with the consent of Landlord
shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month on the same terms and
conditions herein specified insofar as applicable except that Base Monthly Rent
shall be increased to an amount equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%)
of the Base Monthly Rent required during the last month of the Lease Term.
15.4 Subordination: The following provisions shall govern the relationship
-------------
of this Lease to any underlying lease, mortgage or deed of trust which now or
hereafter affects
29
the Premises, and any renewal, modification, consolidation, replacement or
extension thereof (a "Security Instrument"):
A. This Lease is subject and subordinate to all Security Instruments
existing as of the Effective Date. However, if any Lender so requires, this
Lease shall become prior and superior to any such Security Instrument.
B. At Landlord's election, this Lease shall become subject and
subordinate to any Security Instrument created after the Effective Date.
Notwithstanding such subordination, Tenant's right to quiet possession of the
Premises shall not be disturbed so long as an Event of Default has not occurred
and is not continuing, unless this Lease is otherwise terminated pursuant to its
terms. No subordination of this Lease to a Security Instrument shall be
effective until the holder of a Security Instrument executes a non-disturbance
agreement in favor of Tenant that is in a form reasonably acceptable to Tenant.
C. Tenant shall execute any document or instrument reasonably
required by Landlord or any Lender to make this Lease either prior or
subordinate to a Security Instrument. Tenant's failure to execute any such
document or instrument within ten (10) days after written demand therefor shall
constitute a default by Tenant.
15.5 Tenant's Attornment: Tenant shall attorn (i) to any purchaser of the
-------------------
Premises at any foreclosure sale or private sale conducted pursuant to any
security instrument encumbering the Premises, (ii) to any grantee or transferee
designated in any deed given in lieu of foreclosure, or (iii) to the lessor
under any underlying ground lease should such ground lease be terminated
provided any such purchaser, grantee, transferee or ground lessor agrees to
recognize all of Tenant's rights, interests and options under this Lease in
writing.
15.6 Mortgagee Protection: In the event of any default on the part of the
--------------------
Landlord, Tenant will use reasonable efforts to give notice by registered mail
to any Lender or lessor under any underlying ground lease whose name and address
has been provided to Tenant in writing and shall offer such Lender or lessor a
reasonable opportunity to cure the default, including time to obtain possession
of the Premises by power of sale or judicial foreclosure or other appropriate
legal proceedings, if such should prove necessary to effect a cure.
15.7 Estoppel Certificates and Financial Statements: At all times during
----------------------------------------------
the Lease Term, each party agrees, following any request by the other party,
promptly to execute and deliver to the requesting party an estoppel certificate,
(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 the certifying party's knowledge, any
uncured defaults on the part of any party hereunder or, if there are uncured
defaults, specifying the nature of such defaults and (iv) certifying such other
information about the Lease as may be reasonably required by the requesting
party. A failure to deliver an estoppel certificate within ten (10) days after
delivery of a request therefor shall be a conclusive admission that, as of the
date of the request for such statement, (i) this Lease is unmodified except as
may be represented by the requesting party in said request and is in full force
and effect, (ii) there are no uncured defaults in the requesting party's
performance, and (iii) no rent has been paid in advance. At any time during the
Lease Term, Tenant shall, upon ten (10) days' prior written notice from
Landlord, provide Tenant's most recent financial statement and financial
statements covering the twenty-four (24) month period prior to the date of such
most recent financial statement to any existing Lender or to any potential
Lender or
30
buyer of the Premises; provided, however, that so long as Tenant is a public
company the stock of which is publicly traded, Tenant shall only be obligated to
provide to Landlord such financial information as has been made available to the
public in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such statements
shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
and, if such is the normal practice of Tenant shall be audited by an independent
certified public accountant. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to keep
confidential all financial statements delivered to it by Tenant pursuant to this
paragraph and shall cause any potential Lender or buyer of the Premises to whom
such statements are delivered to also agree to use reasonable efforts to keep
such statements confidential.
15.8 Force Majeure: Any prevention, delay or stoppage due to strikes,
-------------
lockouts, inclement weather, labor disputes, inability to obtain labor,
materials, fuels or reasonable substitutes therefor, governmental restrictions,
regulations, controls, action or inaction, civil commotion, fire or other acts
of God, and other causes beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to
perform (except financial inability) shall excuse the performance, for a period
equal to the period of any said prevention, delay, or stoppage, of any
obligation hereunder except the obligation of Tenant to pay rent or any other
sums due hereunder.
15.9 Notices: Any notice required or desired to be given regarding this
-------
Lease shall be in writing and shall be personally served, or in lieu of personal
service may be given by mail. If served by mail, such notice shall be deemed to
have been given (i) on the third business day after mailing if such notice was
deposited in the United States mail, certified and postage prepaid, return-
receipt requested addressed to the party to be served at its Address for Notices
stated in paragraph 1.10, and (ii) in all other cases when actually received.
Either party may change its address by giving notice of same in accordance with
this paragraph.
15.10 Attorneys' Fees: In the event either Landlord or Tenant shall bring
---------------
any action or legal proceeding for an alleged breach of any provision of this
Lease, to recover rent, to terminate this Lease or otherwise to enforce, protect
or establish any term or covenant of this Lease, the prevailing party shall be
entitled to recover as a part of such action or proceeding, or in a separate
action brought for that purpose, reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs as
may be fixed by the court.
15.11 Corporate Authority: Each individual executing this Lease on behalf
-------------------
of Landlord and Tenant represents and warrants that he is duly authorized to
execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of said corporation in accordance with
the bylaws of said corporation and that this Lease is binding upon said
corporation in accordance with its terms. Tenant and Landlord shall, within
thirty (30) days after execution of this Lease, deliver to the other party a
certified copy of the resolution of the board of directors of said corporation
authorizing or ratifying the execution of this Lease.
15.12 Miscellaneous: Should any provision of this Lease prove to be
-------------
invalid or illegal, such invalidity or illegality shall in no way affect, impair
or invalidate any other provision hereof, and such remaining provisions shall
remain in full force and effect. Time is of the essence with respect to the
performance of every provision of this Lease in which time of performance is a
factor. The captions used in this Lease are for convenience only and shall not
be considered in the construction or interpretation of any provision hereof.
Any executed copy of this Lease shall be deemed an original for all purposes.
This Lease shall, subject to the provisions regarding assignment, apply to and
bind the respective heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns of
Landlord and Tenant. "Party" shall mean Landlord or Tenant, as the context
implies. If Tenant consists of more than one
31
person or entity, then all members of Tenant shall be jointly and severally
liable hereunder. This Lease shall be construed and enforced in accordance with
the laws of the State of California. The language in all parts of this Lease
shall in all cases be construed as a whole according to its fair meaning, and
not strictly for or against either Landlord or Tenant. When the context of this
Lease requires, the neuter gender includes the masculine, the feminine, a
partnership or corporation or joint venture, and the singular includes the
plural. The terms "shall", "will" and "agree" are mandatory. The term "may" is
permissive. When a party is required to do something by this Lease, it shall do
so at its sole cost and expense without right of reimbursement from the other
party unless specific provision is made therefor. Where Tenant is obligated not
to perform any act, Tenant is also obligated to restrain any others within its
control from performing said act, including subtenants, agents, contractors and
employees. Landlord shall not become or be deemed a partner nor a joint venturer
with Tenant by reason of the provisions of this Lease.
15.13 Termination by Exercise of Right: If this Lease is terminated
--------------------------------
pursuant to its terms by the proper exercise of a right to terminate
specifically granted to Landlord or Tenant by this Lease, then this Lease shall
terminate thirty (30) days after the date the right to terminate is properly
exercised (unless another date is specified in that part of the Lease creating
the right, in which event the date so specified for termination shall prevail),
the rent and all other charges due hereunder shall be prorated as of the date of
termination, and except as otherwise set forth in this Lease neither Landlord
nor Tenant shall have any further rights or obligations under this Lease except
for those that have accrued prior to the date of termination. This paragraph
does not apply to a termination of this Lease by Landlord as a result of a
default by Tenant.
15.14 Brokerage Commissions: Each party hereto represents and warrants to
---------------------
the other that it has not had any dealings with any real estate brokers, leasing
agents or salesmen, or incurred any obligations for the payment of real estate
brokerage commissions or finder's fees which would be earned or due and payable
by reason of the execution of this Lease, other than CB Commercial Real Estate
Group, Inc. Landlord will be responsible for paying any leasing commission that
is owed to CB Commercial Real Estate Group, Inc. as a result of the execution of
this Lease or exercise any Option to Extend this Lease.
15.15 Obligation to Act Reasonably: Whenever the consent or approval of a
----------------------------
party to this Lease is required to be obtained before the other party to this
Lease may take an action, such consent or approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.
15.16 Entire Agreement: This Lease constitutes the entire agreement
----------------
between the parties, and there are no binding agreements or representations
between the parties except as expressed herein. Tenant acknowledges that
neither Landlord nor Landlord's agent(s) has made any representation or warranty
as to (i) whether the Premises may be used for Tenant's intended use under
existing Law or (ii) suitability of the Premises or the Common Area for the
conduct of Tenant's business. Tenant expressly waives all claims for damages by
reason of any statement, representation, warranty, promise or other agreement of
Landlord or Landlord's agent(s), if any, not contained in this Lease or in any
addendum, exhibit or amendment hereto. No subsequent change or addition to this
Lease shall be binding unless in writing and signed by the parties hereto.
15.17 Memorandum of Lease: Within thirty (30) days after the Effective
-------------------
Date, Landlord and Tenant shall execute and cause to be acknowledged a
memorandum of this Lease in form suitable for recordation in the Official
Records of Sacramento County, which memorandum shall be recorded. Upon the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, if Landlord so requests, Tenant
shall execute and deliver to Landlord in recordable form a
32
quitclaim deed describing the Premises for the purpose of removing of record the
memorandum of lease recorded in accordance with the provisions of this
paragraph.
15.18 Successors. This Lease shall be binding on the parties hereto and
----------
on their respective heirs, successors and assigns (to the extent the Lease is
assignable).
15.19 Time. Time is of the essence for the performance of each term,
----
covenant and condition of this Lease.
15.20 Governing Law. This Lease shall be construed and enforced in
-------------
accordance with the laws of the State of California.
15.21 Exhibits. All exhibits attached hereto and referred to herein are
--------
incorporated herein by this reference.
ARTICLE 16
----------
OPTION TO TERMINATE
16.1 Options: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease,
-------
Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease, without any obligation to
pay any termination fee or other monetary penalty, on the date which is (i) the
tenth (10th) anniversary of the Commencement Date and (ii) on each anniversary
of the Commencement Date thereafter prior to the Expiration Date (the
"Termination Date"), provided that Tenant delivers written notice to Landlord at
least nine (9) months prior to the Termination Date of its intention to
terminate this Lease and specifying the date of termination that Tenant has
chosen (a "Notice of Termination"). If Tenant gives Landlord a Notice of
Termination in accordance with this Paragraph 16.1, this Lease shall terminate
at 12:00 midnight on the Termination Date. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Lease, if Tenant exercises its option to extend the term of
this Lease under Article 17 of this Lease, Tenant's option to terminate this
Lease under this Section 16.1 shall terminate.
ARTICLE 17
----------
OPTION TO EXTEND
17.1 Tenant shall have two (2) options to extend the Lease Term, each for
a period of five (5) years (each of which is referred to herein as an "Option
Term"). Each option may be exercised only by written notice delivered to
Landlord not later than nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the then
existing Lease Term. Tenant may not exercise any of such options at any time
that there exists an Event of Default that is capable of being cured but has not
been cured by Tenant. In all respects, the terms, covenants and conditions of
this Lease shall remain unchanged during each Option Term, except that the Base
Monthly Rent payable during each Option Term shall be adjusted in accordance
with Paragraph 17.2 and there shall be no further option to extend the Lease
Term at the end of the second (2nd) Option Term.
17.2 The Base Monthly Rent payable during each Option Term shall be
ninety percent (90%) of the "Fair Market Rent for the Premises" (as defined in
Paragraph 17.4) as of the first day of the Option Term in question.
17.3 Promptly following exercise of each option to extend, the parties
shall meet and endeavor to agree upon the Fair Market Rent for the Premises.
If within fifteen (15) days after exercise of any of the options, the parties
cannot agree upon the Fair Market Rent
33
for the Premises as of the first day of the Option Term in question, the parties
shall submit the matter to binding appraisal in accordance with the following
procedure except that in any event neither party shall be obligated to start
such procedure sooner than eight (8) months before the expiration of the Lease
Term. Within thirty (30) days after exercise of the option (but not sooner than
eight (8) months before the expiration of the Lease Term), the parties shall
either (i) jointly appoint an appraiser for this purpose or (ii) failing this
joint action, separately designate a disinterested appraiser. No person shall be
appointed or designated an appraiser unless he has at least five (5) years
experience in appraising major commercial property in Sacramento County and is a
member of a recognized society of real estate appraisers. If within thirty (30)
days after the appointment the two appraisers reach agreement on the Fair Market
Rent for the Premises as of the first day of the Option Term in question, that
value shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties. If the two appraisers
thus appointed cannot reach agreement on the question presented within thirty
(30) days after their appointment, then the appraisers thus appointed shall
appoint a third disinterested appraiser having like qualifications. If within
thirty (30) days after the appointment of the third appraiser a majority of the
appraisers agree on the Fair Market Rent for the Premises as of the first day of
the Option Term in question, that value shall be binding and conclusive upon the
parties. If within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the third appraiser
a majority of the appraisers cannot reach agreement on the question presented,
then the three appraisers shall each submit their independent appraisal to the
parties, the appraisal farthest from the median of the three appraisals shall be
disregarded, and the mean average of the remaining two appraisals shall be
deemed to be the Fair Market Rent for the Premises as of the first day of the
Option Term in question and shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties.
Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of the appraiser appointed by it and
shall share equally the fees and expenses of the third appraiser. If the two
appraisers appointed by the parties cannot agree on the appointment of the third
appraiser, they or either of them shall give notice of such failure to agree to
the parties and if the parties fail to agree upon the selection of such third
appraiser within ten (10) days after the appraisers appointed by the parties
give such notice, then either of the parties, upon notice to the other party,
may request such appointment by the American Arbitration Association or, on its
failure, refusal or inability to act, may apply for such appointment to the
presiding judge of the Superior Court of Sacramento County, California.
17.4 For purposes of this Paragraph, the term "Fair Market Rent for the
Premises" shall mean the going market rental for the Premises (assuming use is
limited to the Permitted Use) in its then existing condition, "as is" based upon
rents charged for comparably equipped space in buildings containing between
30,000 and 100,000 square feet, located within a five (5) mile radius of the
Premises, taking into account all Improvements in the Premises made by Landlord
(but adjusting for the age and then condition of such Improvements and the fact
that Landlord is not obligated to make any further improvements before or during
the Option Term in question) using as a guide equivalent space in the size range
specified above of similar age, construction, quality, use and location. There
shall be excluded from any determination of "Fair Market Rent for the Premises"
the rental value attributable to any Leasehold Improvements constructed by
Tenant with its own funds, or attributable to any Interior Improvements (as
defined in the Improvement Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit "C") paid for by
-----------
Tenant in excess of the Interior Improvement Allowance, and all Trade Fixtures
and personal property of Tenant located in the Premises. Any determination of
"Fair Market Rent for the Premises" shall take into account rental concessions
then prevailing in the market for similar space (e.g., "free rent," lease
----
assumptions, payment of moving expenses, etc.).
17.5 The provisions of this Paragraph 17.5 shall only apply if the Base
Monthly Rent for any Option Term is established by appraisal conducted pursuant
to Paragraph 17.3
34
hereof and if Tenant does not, in its sole discretion, approve the Fair Market
Rent for the Premises established for the Option Term in question as so
established by appraisal, then Tenant may rescind its exercise of the option in
question by giving Landlord written notice of such election to rescind within
fifteen (15) days after the Fair Market Rent for the Premises for the Option
Term in question is so established by appraisal. If Tenant so timely rescinds
its exercise of the option in question, then (i) the Lease shall terminate on
the later to occur of either one hundred and eighty (180) days after Tenant's
notice of rescission is delivered to Landlord or on the date the Lease would
otherwise have terminated absent such exercise of the option in question by
Tenant; and (ii) Tenant shall pay all costs incurred by Landlord in
participating in any appraisal to establish the Fair Market Rent for the
Premises for the Option Term in question.
ARTICLE 18
----------
CONDITIONS TO LEASE
Tenant's obligations under this Lease are conditioned upon the following:
18.1 Purchase of Premises: The parties hereby agree that this Lease is
--------------------
conditioned upon Landlord's purchase of, and acquiring title to the Land. If
Landlord fails to purchase the Land, Tenant shall have the right, in its sole
discretion, to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Landlord, whereupon
Landlord's and Tenant's obligations under this Lease shall terminate, except for
any obligations which survive termination of this Lease, as expressly set forth
in this Lease, and except that Landlord shall refund any prepaid Rent to Tenant.
18.2 Construction Approvals: The parties hereby agree that this Lease is
----------------------
conditioned upon Landlord obtaining a Building Permit, Site Plan Approval and
Site Development Permit for the Premises in connection with the completion of
the Improvements by the dates set forth in Section 14 of the Improvement
Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit "C"). If Landlord fails to obtain such
-----------
approvals, Tenant shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate
this Lease upon written notice to Landlord, whereupon Landlord's and Tenant's
obligations under this Lease shall terminate, except for any obligations which
survive termination of this Lease, as expressly set forth in this Lease, and
except that (a) Landlord shall refund any prepaid Rent to Tenant and (b)
Landlord shall be required to sell the Premises to Tenant upon such termination
in accordance with Article 19 below.
ARTICLE 19
----------
LANDLORD'S OBLIGATION TO SELL PREMISES TO TENANT
If Tenant terminates this Lease under Section 14.2.A or Article 18 prior to
Substantial Completion of the Improvements (as defined in the Improvement
Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit "C") and Landlord has acquired title to the
-----------
Land from Tenant, Landlord shall be required to sell the Land to Tenant for the
same purchase price and upon the same terms and conditions that Landlord
purchased the Land from Tenant pursuant to that certain Agreement to Purchase
Real Property (the "Purchase Agreement"), dated as of the date of this
Agreement, in the same condition, and subject only to those defects, liens and
encumbrances of title existing prior to the date Landlord acquired title to the
Land from Tenant (whereby Landlord shall be required to remove any and all
defects, liens and/or encumbrances arising on or after the date the Landlord
acquires title to the Land and any defects, liens and or encumbrances arising
from any act or omission of Landlord or Landlord's agents, employees or
contractors, including, without limitation, any deed of
35
trust or other security instrument recorded against the Land, but excluding any
encumbrances which were required by any public entity or agency having
jurisdiction over the Land or its use, or any encumbrance (other than any deed
of trust or other security instrument) affecting the Land for which Landlord has
received Tenant's prior written consent), within thirty (30) days from the date
Tenant notifies Landlord in writing of its election to terminate the Lease. If
Tenant terminates this Lease under Section 14.2.A or Article 18 prior to
Substantial Completion of the Improvements and Landlord has not acquired title
to the Land, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any
purchase agreement for the Land between Landlord and Tenant, Landlord shall not
have the right to purchase the Land from Tenant. Tenant and Landlord acknowledge
and agree that Tenant is obligated to sell the Land to Landlord, and Landlord is
required to purchase the Land from Tenant, both in accordance with, and pursuant
to the terms of the Purchase Agreement. If Tenant terminates this Lease under
Section 14.2.A or Article 18, or either Landlord or Tenant breaches their
respective obligations to purchase or sell the Land, then notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Lease or the Purchase Agreement, each shall
have the following respective remedies:
A. Landlord's Remedy: If either Tenant terminates this Lease under
-----------------
Section 14.2.A or Article 18, or (i) Close of Escrow fails to occur on or before
the Closing Date set forth in the Purchase Agreement, or any extension thereof,
for any reason other than Landlord's breach of the Purchase Agreement, and (ii)
Landlord does not acquire title to the Land, Tenant shall pay to, and indemnify
Landlord for, all direct out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord to construct
the Improvements as of the Closing Date, as evidenced by paid invoices, or
invoices for work already completed which are then owing but unpaid, submitted
by Landlord to Tenant, provided such costs were incurred in accordance with the
Improvement Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit "C".
B. Tenant's Remedy: If either Tenant terminates this Lease under Section
---------------
14.2.A or Article 18, or Close of Escrow fails to occur on or before the Closing
Date, or any extension thereof, due to a breach of the Purchase Agreement by
Landlord ("Landlord's Purchase Breach"), Landlord shall pay to, and indemnify
Tenant for, all damages proximately caused by Landlord's Purchase Breach,
including not only those arising under the Purchase Agreement, but also those
arising as a result of Landlord breaching its obligation to acquire, develop and
lease the Land to Tenant pursuant to this Lease; provided, however, that the
amount of said damages shall be reduced by the direct, out of pocket costs
incurred by Landlord to construct the Improvements as of the date of Landlord's
Purchase Breach, as evidenced by paid invoices submitted by Landlord to Tenant,
provided such costs were incurred in accordance with the Improvement Agreement.
In the event that Tenant terminates this Lease under Section 14.2.A or Article
18, as a result of Landlord's Purchase Breach, Tenant shall use reasonable
efforts to mitigate Landlord's damages, which efforts may include, to the extent
possible, obtaining another developer to complete construction of the
Improvements.
C. Waiver: The parties hereby expressly waive the provisions of
------
California Civil Code Sections 3007 and 3353, as may be amended, which set forth
the measure of damages for a breach of an agreement to purchase an estate in
real property.
D. Alternative Remedy: In the event that Close of Escrow fails to occur
------------------
on or before the Closing Date, as may be extended, due to a breach of the
Purchase Agreement by Tenant, Landlord shall have all the rights and remedies
allowed at law or at equity, to the extent not inconsistent with this Agreement.
In the event Close of Escrow fails to occur due to a breach of the Purchase
Agreement by Landlord, Tenant shall have all the rights and remedies allowed at
law or at equity, to the extent not inconsistent with this
36
Agreement. The provisions of this Section 19.D. shall be lieu of, and not in
addition to, the respective remedies of the parties set forth in Sections 19.A
and 19.B above.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have executed this Lease with the
intent to be legally bound thereby, to be effective as of the Effective Date of
this Lease.

IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT
---------------------
(Phase II)

amount of the Interior Improvement Allowance, Landlord hereby agrees that the
cost of the Interior Improvements may exceed the cost of the total Interior
Improvement Allowance by an amount equal to Two Dollars ($2.00) per rentable
square foot of the Building (reasonably determined in accordance with BOMA
standards). Accordingly, the total Interior Improvement Allowance required to
be paid by Landlord shall not exceed Twenty-Eight Dollars and 25/100 ($28.25)
per rentable square foot of the Building (reasonably determined in accordance
with BOMA standards) (the "Allowance Cap"), subject to Tenant's obligation to
reimburse Landlord for the amount in excess of the Interior Improvement
Allowance pursuant to Section 13.C of this Agreement. If the Interior
Improvements that Tenant desires to construct in the Building will cost in
excess of the Allowance Cap, Landlord shall still be required to construct said
Interior Improvements, however, Tenant shall be required to make arrangements

construction contract that is mutually acceptable to both Landlord and Tenant.
Prior to entering into any construction contract for the construction of the
Improvements, Landlord shall deliver a copy of the contract to Tenant. Tenant
shall have the right to review and approve all construction contracts relating
to the Interior Improvements prior to execution by Landlord.
B. All subcontractors for the Interior Improvements shall be chosen
by a competitive bid process where (i) Tenant shall have the right to approve
subcontractors who bid on specific parts of the job, (ii) the subcontract shall
be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder unless Landlord and Tenant otherwise
agree, and (iii) Tenant and Landlord shall each have the right to cause a
subcontract to be re-bid if it does not approve the low bid. Tenant shall have
a right to review and approve all bid documents prior to submission to
subcontractors.
7. General Design and Construction Obligations: The following shall
-------------------------------------------
govern the construction of the Improvements:
A. In developing the Final Interior Improvement Plans, Landlord and
Tenant shall designate and select material and equipment which can be obtained
with normal lead times. If at any time during the plan development process or
the course of construction, it becomes apparent that a particular material or
item of equipment is not or
will not be obtainable within a period of time that will enable Landlord to
complete construction by the date specified by the Schedule of Performance, the
parties shall meet and confer to find a substitute therefor which will enable
Landlord to comply with the Schedule of Performance.
B. No approval by Tenant (or its representative) of any plan or
specification, or of completion of the construction work performed by Landlord,
shall constitute a waiver of any item required herein (except as otherwise
specifically required by this Agreement or as specifically noted as eliminated
or changed in the written approval given by Tenant), or a waiver or release of
Landlord from the warranty given by it pursuant to paragraph 12 hereof.
C. During the course of construction, Landlord shall arrange for all
inspections of the progress of the construction of the Improvements by all
authorities having jurisdiction over such construction required in order to
obtain all necessary approvals and certificates with respect to such
construction. Landlord shall make available to Tenant reports of all such
inspections and the status of such approvals and certificates as well as copies
thereof upon request.
D. Risk of loss of the Premises prior to the Commencement Date of
the Lease shall be borne by Landlord. At all times prior to the Commencement
Date, Landlord at its sole cost and expense shall maintain so-called contingent
liability and broad form "builder's risk" insurance with coverage in an amount
equal to the replacement cost of the Building plus the Final Cost Estimate for
the Interior Improvements. If the Final Cost Estimate for the Interior
Improvements exceeds the Interior Improvement Allowance, Tenant shall be
designated as a named insured on said insurance policy and the "deductible"
thereunder shall not exceed $25,000. If the Premises is damaged or destroyed
prior to the Commencement Date, Landlord shall promptly and diligently complete
construction of the Building and Improvements in accordance with this Agreement,
and all insurance proceeds with respect to the loss shall be paid to an
independent depository, reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant, for
disbursement to the contractors completing the Building and Improvements as the
work progresses and in accordance with customary institutional lending
practices. If the Premises are damaged or destroyed following the Commencement
Date, the parties obligations to repair or replace shall be as set forth in the
damage and destruction provisions in the Lease.
E. Landlord shall submit to Tenant on a monthly basis an accounting
of all Improvement Costs. Tenant shall have the right to audit the books,
records and supporting documents of Landlord during normal business hours, after
giving Landlord at least five (5) days prior notice to the extent reasonably
necessary to determine the accuracy of any accounting. Within sixty (60) days
after Substantial Completion of the Premises, Landlord shall render to Tenant a
final and detailed accounting of all Improvement Costs paid by Landlord and
Tenant, certified as true and correct by Landlord. Tenant shall have the same
audit rights as set forth above with respect to the monthly accountings. If
such audit discloses that any overpayment or underpayment was made by Tenant,
there shall be an adjustment between Landlord and Tenant as soon as reasonably
practicable such that each shall only be required to contribute the payment of
costs to the extent provided for in this Agreement.
8. Changes to Approved Plans: Once the Final Building Plans and the
-------------------------
Final Interior Improvement Plans have been approved by Landlord and Tenant,
neither shall have the right to order extra work or change orders with respect
to the construction of the Improvements without the prior written consent of the
other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided
there is a reasonable basis for such change or
such change is required by any Law. All extra work or change orders requested by
either Landlord or Tenant shall be made in writing, shall specify any added or
reduced cost and/or construction time resulting therefrom, and shall become
effective and a part of the Final Building Plans or Final Interior Improvement
Plans, as applicable, once approved in writing by both parties. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, a change order may be deemed authorized by Landlord and Tenant if
it is approved by the authorized representative of both Landlord and Tenant
during the course of a regularly held construction meeting and is documented by
contemporaneous written minutes of such meeting which are subsequently
distributed to Landlord and Tenant within a reasonable period of time after the
conclusion of the meeting. If a change order requested by Tenant results in a
net increase in the cost of constructing the Interior Improvements, Tenant shall
pay the amount of such increase caused by the change order requested by Tenant
at the time the change order is approved by both Landlord and Tenant if and to
the extent such change order causes the Improvement Costs for the Interior
Improvements to exceed the Interior Improvement Allowance. If a change order to
the Interior Improvements is required by Law and results in a net increase in
the cost of the Interior Improvements, Tenant shall pay the amount of such
increase at the time the change order is approved by Tenant if and to the extent
such change order causes the Improvement Costs for the Interior Improvements to
exceed the Interior Improvement Allowance. If a change order requested by
Landlord results in a net increase in the cost of constructing the Improvements,
Landlord shall pay the amount of such increase at its sole cost and expense.
9. Delay in Completion Caused by Tenant: The parties hereto acknowledge
------------------------------------
that the date on which Tenant's obligation to pay the Base Monthly Rent and the
Additional Rent would otherwise commence may be delayed because of (i) Tenant's
failure to submit plans for the Interior Improvements in accordance with the
Schedule of Performance, (ii) Tenant's failure to promptly review and approve
the plans for the Interior Improvements in accordance with the Schedule for
Performance, or (iii) change orders requested by Tenant and approved by Landlord
(up to the amount of time delay specified in the written change order signed by
Tenant). It is the intent of the parties hereto that the commencement of
Tenant's obligation to pay the Base Monthly Rent and all Additional Rent not be
delayed by delays caused by Tenant, and in the event it is so delayed, Tenant's
obligation to pay the Base Monthly Rent and all Additional Rent shall commence
as of the date it would otherwise have commenced absent delays caused by Tenant,
provided that within a reasonable period of time after learning of the
occurrence of any such delay, Landlord notifies Tenant in writing of the fact
that such delay has occurred and the known or anticipated extent of any such
delay. As used in this Agreement, the term "delays caused by Tenant" shall mean
the number of days of actual delay caused by Tenant after receipt of notice
thereof from Landlord in accordance with the preceding sentence (provided,
however, that any delay attributable to a change order shall be limited to the
amount of delay in construction time specified in the change order approved and
signed by Tenant), in connection with the matters described in clauses (i)
through (iii) of the first sentence of this paragraph.
10. Delay in Completion Not Caused by Tenant: The following shall apply:
----------------------------------------
A. Except as provided in Article 2 of the Lease, the Lease shall not
be void or voidable by Landlord or Tenant, nor shall Landlord be liable to
Tenant for any loss or damage resulting from failure to cause the Improvements
to be Substantially Completed on or before the Target Commencement Date.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease: Landlord shall not be
entitled to an extension of the Target Commencement Date as a result of delays
caused by any of the following: (i) rain or other weather conditions (except to
the extent it damages the Improvements and such damage would not have been
prevented by normal precautions customarily employed on comparable construction
projects); (ii) delays caused by any contractor or subcontractor; (iii)
inability to obtain labor, materials, fuels or reasonable substitutes therefor
unless Landlord can demonstrate that it acted reasonably in ordering such items
but was unable to obtain such items on schedule after so acting; or (iv)
Landlord's default under this Lease.
11. Delivery of Possession, Punch List, and Acceptance Agreement: As soon
------------------------------------------------------------
as the Improvements are Substantially Completed, Landlord and Tenant shall
together inspect the Improvements. After such inspection has been completed,
each party shall sign an acceptance agreement which shall (i) include a list of
all "punch list" items which the parties agree are to be corrected by Landlord
and (ii) shall state the Commencement Date. As soon as such inspection has been
completed and such acceptance agreement executed, Landlord shall deliver
possession the Premises to Tenant. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to
complete and/or repair such "punch list" items within thirty (30) days after
executing the acceptance agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein,
Tenant's obligation to pay Base Monthly Rent and the Additional Rent shall
commence as provided in the Lease, regardless of whether Tenant completes such
inspection or executes such acceptance agreement.
12. Standard of Construction and Warranties: Landlord hereby makes the
---------------------------------------
following warranties:
A. Landlord warrants that the Improvements (excluding the Interior
Improvements) shall be designed substantially in accordance with, and all
materials and equipment shall conform to, (i) all Laws in effect when the design

by Tenant, all materials and equipment furnished shall be new, of good quality,
and installed in accordance with the vendor's or manufacturer's specifications,

complete such cure with diligence at Landlord's sole cost and expense.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the warranties made by Landlord
pursuant to paragraphs 12A and 12B shall not apply to any defect in design or
construction which is discovered and of which Landlord receives written notice
from Tenant after the first (1st) anniversary of the Commencement Date. With
respect to defects to which Landlord's warranty does not apply, Tenant shall
have the benefit of any construction or equipment warranties existing in
favor of Landlord that would assist Tenant in correcting such defect and in
discharging its obligation regarding the repair and maintenance of the Premises.

equipment warranties existing in favor of Landlord which affect the
Improvements, which list of warranties shall be attached to the Lease as Exhibit
-------
"D". Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in enforcing such warranties and in

paragraph 12 shall not affect or modify provisions stated elsewhere in the Lease
concerning the allocation of responsibility for the repair, maintenance, and
replacement of the Premises.
13. Payment of Improvement Costs: The Improvement Costs for the

---------------------
the Interior Improvement Allowance to the Improvement Costs for the Interior
Improvements. If the Improvement Costs for the Interior Improvements exceed the
Interior Improvement Allowance, Tenant shall pay such excess cost as provided in
subparagraph C below.
C. Payment of Excess Costs:
-----------------------
(1) If Improvement Costs for the Interior Improvements exceed the
Interior Improvement Allowance, Tenant shall pay the cost in excess of the
Interior Improvement Allowance ("Tenant's Contribution") in installments, with
each installment to be paid within five (5) days after Landlord notifies Tenant
in writing that a progress payment toward the Interior Improvements is to be
made, and the installment due shall be an amount which bears the same
relationship to the amount of the Improvement Costs for the Interior
Improvements that are to be paid, as Tenant's Contribution bears to the total of
all estimated Improvement Costs for the Interior Improvements. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in no event shall Tenant be required to contribute to the
Improvement Costs for the Interior Improvements any amount in excess of the
Final Cost Estimate for the Interior Improvements (plus any increases in cost
approved by Tenant pursuant to the change order procedure provided for in
paragraph 8 of this Agreement).
(2) If it is estimated that Tenant will be required to make a
cash contribution toward the Interior Improvement Costs based on the Final Cost
Estimates for the Interior Improvements, such amount must be placed in escrow or
made available in the form of a letter of credit. During the course of
construction, Tenant shall contribute to each progress payment its pro rata
share of the amount due for the Interior Improvements in question.
(3) If the Interior Improvement Allowance is not fully utilized
in accordance with the foregoing, the balance of any such allowance shall reduce
the Base Monthly Rent otherwise due under the Lease as provided in Paragraph
3.1.D. of the Lease.

GUARANTY
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, AND
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, as tenants in common (hereinafter referred to individually
and collectively as "Guarantor" whether one or more), hereby jointly and
severally guarantee unto OBJECTIVE SYSTEMS INTEGRATORS, INC., a Delaware
corporation ("Tenant"), the full and timely payment and performance of all
obligations of the "Landlord" under that certain Lease (Phase II) ("Lease"),
entered into by and between ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, and Tenant, dated as of December _____, 1998 (which Lease has been
assigned to ___________________________, as Landlord), for the period commencing
on the effective date of said assignment, and ending on the Guaranty Termination
Date (as defined herein) ("Guaranty Term").
1. GUARANTY. In consideration of the execution of the Lease by Tenant and as
a material inducement to Tenant to execute the Lease, during the Guaranty Term,
Guarantor hereby irrevocably, unconditionally, absolutely, jointly and severally
guarantee the payment in full in cash when due and the complete and timely
performance of (a) all payments of all sums which may from time to time be due
and owing by Landlord to Tenant under the Lease, and (b) all terms and
conditions to be performed and observed by Landlord under the Lease
(collectively, the "Guaranteed Obligations").
2. GUARANTOR'S OBLIGATIONS/GUARANTY TERM. During the Guaranty Term, if
Landlord at any time fails to make any payment when due under the Lease or fails
to perform or comply with any other term or condition of the Lease, Guarantor
shall, upon demand from Tenant, pay, perform and comply with the same. This
Guaranty shall be continuing and shall only terminate on the Guaranty
Termination Date (as defined herein). The "Guaranty Termination Date" shall be
the date which is one year following the Lease Commencement Date ("Guaranty
Termination Date"). In the event that Tenant seeks to enforce any of its rights
under this Guaranty and demands payment or performance from Guarantor, such
demand and Guarantor's compliance therewith shall not release, extinguish,
exonerate or in any way affect or diminish Guarantor's continuing obligations
under this Guaranty. Guarantor's liability under this Guaranty shall continue
following the Guaranty Termination Date for the Guaranteed Obligations, to the
extent the payment and/or performance of such arose or became due prior to the
Guaranty Termination Date.
3. TENANT'S ACTS; NO EFFECT ON GUARANTOR'S OBLIGATIONS. Tenant may from time
to time, solely in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lease, (a)
assign, sublet, transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of all or any of
Tenant's rights, claims or interests in, under and to the Lease, the Premises or
this Guaranty, (b) modify or amend the Lease, in whole or part, and (c) modify
or change the entity comprising Tenant and none of the foregoing acts shall
release Guarantor or extinguish or exonerate or diminish in any way Guarantor's
obligations hereunder. In
addition, no termination of the Lease shall extinguish, release or in any way
affect or diminish Guarantor's obligations hereunder. This Guaranty shall apply
with full force and effect to any payment or performance obligation of any
person or entity now or hereafter constituting the "Landlord" under the Lease.
4. LANDLORD'S DEFAULT. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and
performance, and not of collection. Upon any breach or default by Landlord
under the Lease, Guarantor shall be liable jointly and severally for Landlord's
performance pursuant to this Guaranty, without notice to or demand upon either
Landlord or any Guarantor. This Guaranty shall not be released, modified or
affected by any failure or delay by Tenant to enforce any of its rights or
remedies under this Guaranty, the Lease or at law or in equity.
5. GUARANTORS' WAIVERS. Guarantor hereby waives (a) presentment, demand for
payment and protest of non-performance under the Lease, (b) notice of any kind
including, without limitation, notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, protest,
presentment, demand for payment, default, nonpayment, or the creation or
incurring of new or additional obligations of Landlord to Tenant, (c) any right
to require Tenant to enforce its rights or remedies against Landlord under the
Lease, or otherwise, or against any other guarantor, (d) any right to require
Tenant to proceed against any security held from Landlord or any other party,
(e) any defense arising out of the absence, impairment or loss of any right of
reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of Guarantors against
Tenant or any such security, whether resulting from an election by Tenant, or
otherwise, (f) any defense based upon any legal disability of Landlord or any
other guarantor of any Guaranteed Obligations, or any discharge or limitation of
the liability of Landlord or any such other guarantor to Tenant, whether
consensual or arising by operation of law, bankruptcy, insolvency or debtor-
relief proceeding, (g) any defense based upon any invalidity or unenforceability
of the Lease, (h) any defense based upon, or arising out of any defense which
Landlord may have to the payment or performance of any Guaranteed Obligations;
and (i) all rights of subrogation, indemnification, contribution and
reimbursement and all rights to enforce any remedy that Landlord or Guarantor
may have against Tenant or any other guarantor of any Guaranteed Obligations.
Without limiting the foregoing, the Guarantor hereby waives any and all rights
and defenses available to the Guarantor by reason of California Civil Code
Sections 2787 through 2855, inclusive, 2899 and 3433, and any successor
statutes. Any partial payment by Landlord or other circumstance which operates
to toll any statute of limitations as to Landlord shall operate to toll the
statute of limitations as to Guarantor.
6. SEPARATE AND DISTINCT OBLIGATIONS. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that
Guarantor's obligations to Tenant under this Guaranty are separate and distinct
from Landlord's obligations to Tenant under the Lease. Tenant may enforce this
Guaranty without first (a) making any effort at collection or enforcement of any
Guaranteed Obligations from or against Landlord or any other party that may be
liable therefor, (b) exercising or asserting any other right or remedy which may
be available in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or resorting to or
exhausting any other security, guaranty or collateral held with respect to the
Guaranteed Obligations, or (c) asserting or filing any claim against the assets
of Landlord, Guarantor, any
partner of Guarantor, or any of them or any other guarantor or any other party
whatsoever. The occurrence of any of the following events shall not have any
effect whatsoever on Guarantor's obligations to Tenant hereunder, each of which
obligations shall continue in full force or effect as though such event had not
occurred: (a) with reference to Landlord, the commencement or continuance of a
voluntary or involuntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now
constituted or hereafter amended or replaced, or any other applicable federal or
state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law (collectively, the "Bankruptcy
Laws"), (b) the consent by Landlord to the appointment of or taking possession
by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or similar
official for any substantial part of its property, (c) any assignment by
Landlord for the benefit of creditors, (d) the failure of Landlord generally to
pay its debts as such debts become due, (e) the taking of corporate action by
Landlord in the furtherance of any of the foregoing; or (f) the entry of a
decree or order for relief by a court having jurisdiction in respect of Landlord
in any involuntary case under the Bankruptcy Laws, or appointing a receiver,
liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of
Landlord or for any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding-up
or liquidation of any of its affairs and the continuance of any such decree or
order unstayed and in effect for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days. The
liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty is not and shall not be affected or
impaired by any payment made to Tenant under or related to the Lease for which
Tenant is required to reimburse Landlord in settlement of any dispute,
controversy or litigation in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
moratorium or other federal or state debtor relief proceeding or pursuant to any
court order in any bankruptcy. If, during any such proceeding, the Lease is
assumed by Landlord or any trustee, or thereafter assigned by Landlord or any
trustee to a third party, this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect
with respect to the full performance of Landlord, any such trustee or any such
third party's obligations under the Lease.
7. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of any
person or persons, entity or entities who now or hereafter may be entitled to
the benefits or obligated to perform the duties of Tenant under the Lease and
shall be binding upon the heirs, legal representatives, successors and, subject
to this Section 7, the assigns of Guarantor. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Guaranty, Guarantor may not assign this Guaranty or its
obligations under this Guaranty, without first obtaining the prior written
consent of Tenant, which consent may be withheld in Tenant's sole discretion.
8. TERMINATION OF GUARANTY. This Guaranty shall terminate on the Guaranty
Termination Date.
9. GUARANTOR'S DUTY. Guarantor assumes the full responsibility to remain
informed of the financial condition of Landlord and of all other circumstances
bearing upon the risk of Landlord's non-performance under the Lease and agrees
that Tenant shall have no duty whatsoever to advise Guarantor of information
known to it regarding such condition or any such circumstance.
10. TENANT'S RELIANCE. Tenant shall not be required to inquire into the powers
of Landlord or the officers, employees, partners or agents acting or purporting
to act on its behalf.
11. INCORPORATION OF LEASE PROVISIONS. Guarantor hereby represents and
warrants to Tenant that Guarantor has received a copy of the Lease, has read or
had the opportunity to read the Lease, and understands the terms of the Lease.
The provisions in the Lease, if any, relating to the execution of additional
documents, legal proceedings by Tenant against Landlord, severability of the
provisions of the Lease, interpretation of the Lease, notices, waivers, the
applicable laws which govern the interpretation of the Lease and the authority
of Landlord to execute the Lease are incorporated herein in their entirety by
this reference and made a part hereof. Any reference in those provisions to
"Landlord" shall mean each Guarantor and any reference in those provisions to
the "Lease" shall mean this Guaranty, except that (a) any notice which any
Guarantor desires or is required to provide to Tenant shall be effective only if
signed by Guarantor and (b) any notice which Tenant desires or is required to
provide to any Guarantor shall be sent to such Guarantor at such Guarantor's
address indicated below, or if no address is indicated below, at the address for
notices to be sent to Landlord under the Lease.
12. GOVERNING LAW. This Guaranty shall be governed and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of California.
13. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
13.1 Guarantor represents and warrants that, to Guarantor's best knowledge,
Landlord is under no disability in connection with the execution and
delivery of the Lease and that there are no defenses to Landlord's
full payment and performance of all of its obligations under the
Lease. Within twenty (20) days following demand by Tenant, Guarantor
shall deliver to Tenant and to any interested party reasonably
designated by Tenant an estoppel certificate, executed and
acknowledged by Guarantor, to the effect that this Guaranty is in full
force and effect and has not been amended or terminated (or, if
amended or terminated, specifying the date and terms thereof).
Guarantor shall also certify such other matters relating to the
Guaranteed Obligations or this Guaranty as may be reasonably requested
from time to time by Tenant.
13.2 This Guaranty shall not be subject to any condition precedent to the
effectiveness hereof. Upon execution and delivery of this Guaranty by
Guarantor, this Guaranty shall be in full force and effect. This
Guaranty may not be amended, modified, waived, discharged or
terminated orally or by course of conduct, but only by an instrument
in writing duly executed by both Tenant and Guarantor. No waiver by
Tenant of any default of Landlord or Guarantor or any other event
shall be effective unless in writing, nor shall it operate as a waiver
of any other default or of the same default on a future occasion.
13.3 All representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of
Guarantor hereunder
constitute the joint and several representations, warranties,
covenants and obligations of all persons and entities executing this
Guaranty. All rights and remedies of Tenant under this Guaranty and
the Lease are cumulative and not restrictive of any other rights or
remedies available at Law or in equity. This Guaranty may be executed
in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but
all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
Guaranty.
13.4 In the event any action or claim is filed by either party in
connection with this Guaranty, the parties hereby agree that said
action or claim shall be filed in and subject to the jurisdiction in
which the Premises are located. If litigation is commenced between the
parties, the non-prevailing party in that litigation shall indemnify
the prevailing party against all losses, costs, claims and damages
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) incurred or
paid by the prevailing party. Whenever possible, each provision of
this Guaranty shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective
and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Guaranty
shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity,
without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining
provisions of this Guaranty. All terms which are not defined in this
Guaranty, but which are defined in the Lease and used in this
Guaranty, shall have the meanings ascribed to them by the Lease.
