TRIPLE NET LEASE
(Single Tenant Building)
1. Parties.
1.1 This Lease, dated the 30th day of August 1997 for reference purposes
only, is made by and between ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, (herein called
"Lessor") and WILSHIRE TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a California Corporation, (herein
called "Lessee").
2. Premises.
2.1 Lessor hereby leases to Lessee and Lessee leases from Lessor for the
term, at the rental, and upon all of the conditions set forth herein, that
certain real property situated in the County of San Diego, State of California,
and described as ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ as more
particularly described in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference. Said real property including the land and all improvements therein,
is herein called "the Premises."
2.2 The parties hereto agree that said letting and hiring is upon and
subject to the terms, covenants and conditions herein set forth. Lessee
covenants, as a material part of the consideration for this Lease to keep and
perform each and all of said terms, covenants and conditions for which Lessee is
liable and that this Lease is made upon the condition of such performance.
3. Term.
3.1 Term. The term of this Lease shall be for sixty (60) months,
commencing on January 1, 1998 (the "Commencement Date") and ending on December
31, 2002, unless sooner terminated pursuant to any provision hereof.
3.2 Delay in Possession. Notwithstanding said Commencement Date, if for
any reason Lessor cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Lessee on said
date, Lessor shall not be subject to any liability therefor, nor shall such
failure affect the validity or enforceability of this Lease or the obligations
of Lessee hereunder or extend the term hereof, but in such case, all terms and
conditions of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect except that
Lessee shall not be obligated to pay rent until possession of the Premises is
tendered to Lessee; provided, however, in the event any such delay results, in
whole or in part, from any act, failure, omission or incapacity on the part of
Lessee, or any of its agents, contractors or employees, then Lessee shall be
obligated to commence payment of rent on the Commencement Date as if possession
of the Premises had been tendered by Lessor on such date.
-1-
5
3.3 Early Possession. Lessee shall occupy the Premises upon completion
of tenant improvements which shall be at least thirty (30) days prior to the
Commencement Date. Such occupancy shall be subject to all provisions hereof.
Such occupancy shall adjust the Commencement and Termination Date of this Lease
which will be agreed to in writing by Lessor and Lessee prior to occupancy.
Lessee shall pay all net, net, net charges for such period.
4. Monthly Base Rent.
4.1 Lessee agrees to pay Lessor Monthly Base Rent for the Premises
determined pursuant to the following schedule:
January 1, 1998 - December 31, 1998 $17,500.00 NNN/Mo.
January 1, 1999 - December 31, 1999 $18,000.00 NNN/Mo.
January 1, 2000 - December 31, 2000 $18,500.00 NNN/Mo.
January 1, 2001 - December 31, 2001 $19,000.00 NNN/Mo.
January 1, 2002 - December 31, 2002 $19,500.00 NNN/Mo.
Monthly Base Rent shall be paid in advance, on the first day of each calendar
month during the term, except that the first month's rent shall be paid upon the
execution hereof.
4.2 If the term of this Lease commences or ends on a day other than the
first day of a calendar month, then the rental for such period shall be prorated
in the proportion that the number of days this Lease is in effect during such
period bears to the actual number of days in the month. In addition to the
Monthly Base Rent, Lessee agrees to pay as additional rental the amount of
rental adjustments and any other charges required by this Lease. All rental
shall be paid to Lessor, without prior demand and without any deduction or
offset, in lawful money of the United States of America, at the address of
Lessor designated at the end of this Lease or to such other person or at such
other place as Lessor may from time to time designate in writing.
4.3 Late Charges. Lessee acknowledges that, in the event Lessee fails to
pay any installment of rent when due or in the event Lessee fails to make any
other payment for which Lessee is obligated under this Lease when due, Lessor
will incur costs and expenses not contemplated by this Lease the exact amount of
which being extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain, including without
limitation, processing and accounting charges and financing costs and late
charges that may be imposed by the terms of any encumbrances on or note secured
by the Premises. Therefore, in the event of any such payment which is more than
ten (10) calendar days late from due date and following written notice from
Lessee eight (8) days after the due date, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a late
charge equal to ten percent (10%) of the amount due to compensate Lessor for the
extra costs incurred as a result of such late payment. Additionally, all such
delinquent rent or other sums shall bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum
or the maximum lawful rate, whichever is lesser.
-2-

5. Security Deposit.
5.1 Lessee has deposited with Lessor the sum of SEVENTEEN THOUSAND AND
FIVE HUNDRED NO/100 DOLLARS ($17,500.00). Said sum shall be held by Lessor as
security for the faithful performance by Lessee of all of Lessee's obligations
hereunder. If Lessee defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease,
including but not limited to the provisions relating to the payment of rent,
Lessor may (but shall not be required to) use, apply or retain all or any part
of this security deposit for the payment of any rent or any other sum in
default, or for the payment of any other amount which Lessor may spend or become
obligated to spend by reason of Lessee's default or to compensate Lessor for any
other loss or damage which Lessor may suffer by reason of Lessee's default. If
any portion of the deposit is so used or applied, Lessee shall, within ten (10)
days after demand, deposit cash with Lessor in an amount sufficient to restore
the security deposit to its original amount. Lessee's failure to do so shall be
a material breach of this Lease. Lessor shall not be required to keep this
security deposit separate from its general funds, no trust relationship shall be
created between Lessor and Lessee with respect to the security deposit, and
Lessee shall not be entitled to interest on such deposit. In no event will
Lessee have the right to apply any part of the security deposit to any rent or
other sums due under this Lease. If Lessee shall fully and faithfully perform
all of its obligations under this Lease, the security deposit or any balance
thereof shall be returned to Lessee (or, at Lessor's option, to the last
assignee of Lessee's interests hereunder) at the expiration of the Lease term,
provided that Lessor may retain the security deposit until such time as any
amount due from Lessee in accordance with Article 4 hereof has been determined
and paid in full. Security deposit shall always be increased on the anniversary
of this Lease and shall always be equal to the then monthly rent.
5.2 Additional Security: Delivery of Standby Letter of Credit. In
addition to the security deposit provided in the preceding paragraph, Lessee
shall, upon the execution of this Lease, deliver to Lessor and cause to be in
effect during the term of this Lease an unconditional, irrevocable Standby
Letter of Credit ("LC") in the amount of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100THS
DOLLARS ($100,000.00) (the "LC Amount"). The LC shall be in the form of Exhibit
E hereto and shall be issued by an LC bank selected by Lessee and reasonably
acceptable to Lessor.
5.2.1 Replacement of Letter of Credit. Lessee may from time to time,
replace any existing LC with a new LC if the new LC:
(a) becomes effective at least thirty (30) days before
expiration of the LC that it replaces;
(b) is in the required LC amount;
(c) is issued by an LC bank reasonably acceptable to Lessor,
and
(d) otherwise complies with the requirements of this
section.
-3-
7
5.2.2 Lessor's Right to Draw on Letter of Credit. Lessor shall hold
the LC as security for the performance of Lessee's rent obligations under this
Lease. If, after notice and failure to cure within the applicable period within
this Lease any such rent obligation continues to be unpaid for a period of
seventy (70) days after the date it is due, Lessor may, without prejudice to any
other remedy it has, draw down the LC by the amount of TWENTY THOUSAND AND
NO/100THS DOLLARS ($20,000.00). This draw down is a non-refundable penalty to
the benefit of the Lessor.
If, after notice and failure to cure within the applicable
period within this Lease, any such rent obligation continues to be unpaid for an
additional thirty (30) days (one hundred [100] days total) after the date it is
due, Lessor may without prejudice to any other remedy it has drawn down the
balance of the LC EIGHTY THOUSAND AND NO/100THS DOLLARS ($80,000.00) which is a
non-refundable penalty to the benefit of the Lessor.
5.2.3 Lessor's Transfer of LC on Transfer of Real Property. If
Lessor transfers or mortgages its interest in the Premises, Lessor shall
transfer or assign the LC to Lessor's mortgagee or transferee provided, the
transferee agrees in writing to hold the LC under the provisions of this Lease.
If Lessor draws on the LC after a transfer or an assignment, the morgagee or the
transferee shall pay to Lessee within ten (10) days from the date of the draw
the amount of the LC. If the mortgagee or transferee fails to pay to Lessee the
amount of the LC within that period, Lessee may deduct from rent payable by
Lessee under this Lease the amount of the LC.
5.2.4 No Release of Lessee's Obligation. If Lessor draws down any or
all of LC, Lessee is still obligated to perform all its obligations as stated in
this Lease.
5.2.5 Reinstatement of Lease by Lessee. If Lessee elects to cure
this Lease, Lessee must cure all of Lessee's defaults of this Lease and replace
drawn down LC with a new LC per Paragraph 5.2.
6. Use.
6.1 Lessee shall use the Premises for general office/sales/R&D/general
warehouse purposes or similar uses, as is consistent with zoning requirements
and shall not use or permit the Premises to be used for any other purpose or
suffer or permit the Premises to remain vacant without the prior written consent
of Lessor. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to give Lessee any exclusive
right to such use in the Premises or any adjoining property. Lessee shall not
use or occupy the Premises in violation of law or of the certificate of
occupancy issued for the Premises, and shall, upon written notice from Lessor,
discontinue any use of the Premises which is declared by any governmental
authority having jurisdiction to be a violation of law or of said certificate of
occupancy. Lessee shall comply with any direction of any governmental authority
having jurisdiction which shall, by reason of the nature of Lessee's use or
occupancy of the Premises, impose any duty upon Lessee or Lessor with respect to
the Premises or with respect to the use or occupation thereof. Lessee shall not
use or allow the Premises to be used for any improper, immoral, unlawful, or
objectionable purpose, nor shall Lessee cause, maintain
-4-
8
or permit any loud noise, vibration or other nuisance in, on or about the
Premises or otherwise disturb the peaceful possession of adjoining or nearby
Premises. In addition Lessee shall comply with the provisions of attached
Exhibit C. Lessee shall not commit or suffer to be committed any waste in or
upon the Premises, nor shall Lessee cause, maintain or permit any outside
storage on or about the Premises. 7. Compliance with Law.
7.1 Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly comply with all
laws, statutes, ordinances, regulations, and other requirements of all
municipal, state and federal authorities now in force, or which may hereafter be
in force, pertaining to the use of Premises, and shall faithfully observe in the
use of the Premises the requirements of any board of fire underwriters, any
certificate of occupancy, and any recorded documents affecting the Premises,
insofar as the same relate to the condition, use or occupancy of the Premises.
The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction, or the admission of lessee
in any action or proceeding against Lessee, whether Lessor be a party thereto or
not, that Lessee has violated any such ordinance or statute in the use of the
Premises, shall be conclusive of that fact as between Lessor and Lessee. Lessor
warrants and represents that as of the Commencement Date, the Premises shall be
in compliance with all laws, statutes, ordinances, regulations and other
requirements of municipal, state and federal authorities then in force. Lessor
shall at its sole expense, promptly make all repairs, replacements, alterations
or improvements needed to comply with such laws, etc. hereafter enacted to the
extent they relate to structural matters; if, however, such compliance work is
triggered by Lessee's alterations, Lessee shall bear the expense of such work.
8. Condition of Premises.
8.1 Acceptance. By taking possession Lessee shall be deemed to have
accepted the Premises as being in good and sanitary order, condition and repair
with respect to observable and patent defects and in accordance with the
requirements of this Lease as set forth in Exhibits "D or, in the event of any
discrepancy between the Premises as delivered and as described in such Exhibits
"D" Lessee shall be deemed to have waived and accepted any such discrepancy.
Lessor makes no representation or warranty as to the use or occupancy which may
be made thereof.
8.2 Surrender. The Lessee agrees on the last day of the term hereof, or
on the sooner termination of this Lease, to surrender the premises unto Lessor
in good condition and repair, normal wear and tear excepted, but in any event
with all interior walls cleaned and repaired, any carpets cleaned, the
ventilating, air conditioning and heating equipment serviced by a reputable
service man, all fixtures and equipment in good working order, and all floors
cleaned, together with all alterations, additions and improvements which may
have been made in, to, or on the Premises (except movable trade fixtures put in
at the expense of Lessee) except that Lessee shall ascertain from Lessor within
thirty days before the end of the term of this Lease whether Lessor desires to
have the premises or any part or parts thereof restored to their condition when
the Premises were delivered to Lessee; and if Lessor shall so desire, then
Lessee shall restore said Premises or such part or parts thereof before the end
of this Lease at Lessee's sole cost and expense. At any time within the final 90
days of the term of this Lease, or at any
-5-
9
time after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Lessor may, at
its option and at a cost to be split equally between Lessor and Lessee, retain
the services of one or more mutually agreed upon inspectors or consultants to
inspect the Premises and all equipment and fixtures located on or affixed
thereto, to determine whether such Premises, equipment and fixtures are in the
condition required upon surrender of the Premises as described hereinabove. In
the event of any deficiency as determined by such inspection(s), Lessee shall
cause the same to be corrected promptly and in a good and workmanlike manner, at
its sole expense. Lessee, on or before the end of the term or sooner termination
of this Lease, shall remove all of Lessee's personal property and trade fixtures
from the Premises, and all property not so removed shall be deemed abandoned by
Lessee, and may be sold or otherwise disposed of at Lessee's expense. Lessee
waives all claims against Lessor for any cost or damage to Lessee arising out of
Lessor's retention or disposition of any such alterations, fixtures or personal
property. If the Premises are not surrendered at the end of the term or sooner
termination of this Lease, Lessee shall indemnify Lessor against any expense,
loss or liability (including reasonable professionals' fees) resulting from
delay by Lessee in so surrendering the Premises including, without limitation,
any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded on such delay. 8.3 Regulation.
Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Lessee hereby accepts the Premises
in their condition existing as of the Lease Commencement Date or the date that
Lessee takes possession of the Premises, whichever is earlier, subject to all
applicable zoning, municipal, county and state laws, ordinances and regulations
governing and regulating the use of the Premises, and any covenants, conditions
or restrictions now of record, of which may hereafter be recorded with respect
to the Premises or any larger parcel of which the Premises are a part, as
amended from time to time, and accepts this Lease subject thereto and to all
matters disclosed thereby and by any Exhibits attached thereto. Lessee
acknowledges that neither Lessor nor Lessor's agent has made any representation
or warranty as to the present or future suitability of the Premises for the
conduct of Lessee's business. Lessor warrants that the Premises will be
completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable
building and zoning codes. Within sixty (60) days of occupancy of the Premises,
Lessee will provide to the Lessor a punch list of items to be corrected, which
items Lessor will repair or replace within sixty (60) days of notification by
the Lessee.
9. Notices.
9.1 Any notice, demand or communication required or permitted to be
given hereunder must be in writing and may be given by personal delivery or by
mail, and if given by mail shall be deemed sufficiently given when deposited in
the United States mail, registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed
to Lessee at the Premises, or to Lessor at its address set forth at the end of
this Lease. Either party may specify a different or additional address for
notice purposes by written notice to the other hereunder except that the Lessor
may in any event use the Premises as Lessee's sole address for notice purposes.
-6-
10
10. Brokers.
10.1 Lessee warrants that it has had no dealings with any real estate
broker or agent in connection with the negotiation of this Lease, except
BUSINESS REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE COMPANY, whose commission shall be payable by
LESSOR, and that it knows of no other real estate broker or agent who is or
might be entitled to a commission in connection with this Lease. If Lessee has
dealt with any other person or real estate broker with respect to leasing the
Premises, Lessee shall be solely responsible for the payment of any fee due said
person or firm and Lessee shall hold Lessor free and harmless against any
liability in respect thereto, including professionals' fees and costs, which
shall be paid as incurred.
11. Holding Over.
11.1 If Lessee holds over after the expiration or earlier termination of
the term hereof without the express written consent of Lessor, Lessee shall
become a Lessee at sufferance only, at a rental rate equal to one hundred fifty
percent (150%) of the rent in effect upon the date of such expiration (prorated
on a daily basis), and otherwise subject to the terms, covenants and conditions
herein specified, so far as applicable. Acceptance by Lessor of rent after such
expiration or earlier termination shall not result in a renewal of this Lease.
The foregoing provisions of this Article 11 are in addition to and do not affect
Lessor's right to re-entry or any rights of Lessor hereunder or as otherwise
provided by law. If Lessee fails to surrender the Premises upon the expiration
of this lease despite demand to do so by Lessor, Lessee shall indemnify and hold
Lessor harmless from all loss or liability, including without limitation, any
claim made by any succeeding tenant founded on or resulting from such failure to
surrender and any professionals' fees and costs.
12. Maintenance, Repairs and Alterations.
12.1 Lessee's Obligations. Lessee shall keep in good order, condition and
repair the non-structural Premises and every part thereof, (whether or not such
portion of the Premises requiring repair, or the means of repairing the same are
reasonably or readily accessible to Lessee, and whether or not the need for such
repairs occurs as a result of Lessee's use, any prior use, the elements, the age
or the quality of construction of such portion of the Premises) including,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all plumbing, heating,
ventilation, air conditioning (Lessee shall procure and maintain, at Lessee's
expense, a heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems maintenance
contract acceptable to Lessor), electrical, lighting facilities and equipment
within the Premises, fixtures, interior walls and exterior walls (maintenance
only), ceilings, non-structural components of the roof, floors, windows, doors,
plate glass and skylights located within the Premises, and all landscaping,
driveways, parking lots, fences and signs located on the Premises and sidewalks
and parkways adjacent to the premises. Lessor shall arrange for inspection of
the roof, mechanical, and electrical portions of the Premises annually. Lessor
shall pay for the costs of such inspections. Lessee shall arrange and pay for
the correction of any defects found, including implementation of a preventative
maintenance program for the roof. If Lessee is not properly maintaining
property, at Lessor's option, Lessor shall have the right to select, procure and
maintain, at Lessee's expense, maintenance contracts for the heating,
-7-
11
ventilating and air conditioning systems, the landscaping on or about the
Premises, and/or the roof or other structural components of the Premises and
Lessee shall fully reimburse Lessor for the cost of same within 5 days after
demand thereof. Lessor shall assign to Lessee all warranties on the plumbing,
heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and electrical systems.
12.2 Lessor's Rights. If Lessee fails to perform Lessee's obligations
under this Paragraph 12, or under any other Paragraph of this Lease, Lessor may
at its option (but shall not be required to) enter upon the Premises after ten
(10) days prior written notice to Lessee (except in the case of an emergency, in
which case no notice shall be required), perform such obligations on Lessee's
behalf and put the same in good order, condition and repair, and the costs
thereof together with interest thereon at the rate described in Paragraph 4.3
above shall become due and payable as additional rental to Lessor together with
Lessee's next rental installment.
12.3 Lessor's Obligations. Except for the obligations of Lessor under
Paragraph 17 relating to destruction of the Premises, and under Paragraph 21
relating to condemnation of the Premises, it is intended by the parties hereto
that Lessor have no obligation, in any manner whatsoever, to repair and maintain
the Premises or the equipment therein, except structural walls, roof,
foundations, all of which obligations are intended to be that of the Lessee
hereunder or to pay any other cost or expense whatsoever directly or indirectly
relating to the ownership, management, lease, operation or use of the Premises.
Lessee expressly waives the benefit of any statute now or hereinafter in effect
which would otherwise afford Lessee the right to make repairs at Lessor's
expense or to terminate this Lease because of Lessor's failure to keep the
Premises in good order, condition and repair.
12.4 Alternations and Additions.
(a) Lessee shall not, without Lessor's prior written consent
which will not be unreasonably withheld, make any alterations, improvements,
additions, or Utility Installations in, on or about the Premises, except for
nonstructural alterations not exceeding FIVE THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS
($5,000.00) in cumulative costs during the term of this Lease. In any event,
whether or not in excess of the foregoing cumulative cost, Lessee shall make no
change or alteration to the exterior of the Premises nor change to the interior
visible from the exterior without Lessor's prior written consent. As used in
this Paragraph 12.4, the term "Utility Installation" shall mean carpeting,
window coverings, air lines, power panels, electrical distribution systems,
lighting fixtures, space heaters, air conditioning, plumbing, fencing,
telephone, teletype, cable or other communications systems of any kind,
satellite or other radio reception or transmitting devises, or gas lines. Lessor
may require that Lessee remove any or all of said alterations, improvements,
additional or Utility Installations at the expiration of the term, and restore
the Premises to their condition as of the Commencement Date, reasonable wear and
tear excepted. As a condition of Lessor's consent, Lessor may require Lessee to
provide Lessor, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, a lien and completion bond in
an amount equal to one and one-half times the estimated cost of such
improvements, to insure Lessor against any liability for mechanic's and
materialmen's liens and to insure completion of the work. Should Lessee make any
alterations, improvements, additions or Utility Installations without the prior
approval of Lessor, Lessor may require that Lessee remove any or all of the same
at Lessee's expense.
-8-
12
(b) Any alterations, improvements, additions or Utility
Installations in or about the Premises that Lessee shall desire to make and
which require the consent of the Lessor shall be presented to Lessor in written
form, with proposed detailed plans. If Lessor shall give its consent, which
consent may be granted or withheld in Lessor's sole discretion, the consent
shall be deemed conditioned upon Lessee acquiring a permit to do so from
appropriate governmental agencies, the furnishing of a copy thereof to Lessor
prior to the commencement of the work, the compliance by Lessee of all
conditions of said permit, and a performance and payment bond in form and
substance acceptable to Lessor guaranteeing completion of and payment for all
such work in a timely manner. Any such work shall be completed by Lessee
promptly, expeditiously and in a good and workmanlike manner, using prime
quality materials, and in such a manner as not to cause any interruption of or
interference with the use or enjoyment of any adjoining premises. Lessee shall
hold Lessor harmless from any failure by Lessee to comply with the foregoing,
pursuant to Paragraph 15 below.
(c) Lessee shall pay, when due, all claims for labor or
materials furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for Lessee at or for
use in the Premises, which claims are or may be secured by any mechanic's or
materialmen's lien against the Premises or any interest therein. Lessee shall
give Lessor not less than ten (10) days notice prior to the commencement of any
work in the Premises, and Lessor shall have the right to post notices of
non-responsibility in or on the Premises as provided by law. If Lessee shall, in
good faith, contest the validity of any such lien, claim or demand, then Lessee
shall, at its sole expense defend itself and Lessor against the same and shall
pay and satisfy any such adverse judgment that may be rendered thereon before
the enforcement thereof against the Lessor or the Premises, upon the condition
that if Lessor shall require, Lessee shall furnish to Lessor a surety bond
satisfactory to Lessor in an amount equal to such contested lien claim or demand
indemnifying Lessor against liability for the same and hold the Premises free
from the effect of such lien or claim. In addition, Lessor may require Lessee to
pay Lessor's professionals' fees and costs in participating in such action if
Lessor shall decide it is to its best interest to do so.
13. Liens.
13.1 Lessee shall not permit any mechanic's, materialmen's or other liens
to be filed against the Premises nor against Lessee's leasehold interest in the
Premises. Lessor shall have the right at all reasonable times to post and keep
posted on the Premises any notices which it deems necessary for protection from
such liens. If any such liens are filed, Lessor may, without waiving its rights
and remedies based on such breach of Lessee and without releasing Lessee from
any of its obligations, cause such liens to be released by any means it shall
deem proper, including payments in satisfaction of the claim giving rise to such
lien. Lessee shall pay to Lessor at once, upon notice by Lessor, any sum paid by
Lessor to remove such liens, together with interest at the rate per annum
described in Paragraph 4.3 above.
-9-
13
14. Bankruptcy.
14.1 If Lessee shall file a petition in bankruptcy under any provision of
the Bankruptcy Code as then in effect, or if Lessee shall be adjudicated a
bankrupt in involuntary bankruptcy proceedings and such adjudication shall not
have been vacated within thirty days from the date thereof, or if a receiver or
trustee shall be appointed of Lessee's property and the order appointing such
receiver or trustee shall not be set aside or vacated within thirty days after
the entry thereof, or if Lessee shall make a general assignment for the benefit
of creditors, or if Lessee's interest in this Lease or a substantial portion of
Lessee's assets located at the Premises shall be seized or attached and such
seizure or attachment is not discharged within thirty (30) days, or if this
Lease shall, by operation of law or otherwise, pass to any person or persons
other than Lessee, then in any such event Lessor may terminate this Lease, if
Lessor so elects, with or without notice of such election and with or without
entry or action by Lessor. In such case, notwithstanding any other provisions of
this Lease, Lessor, in addition to any and all rights and remedies allowed by
law or equity, shall, upon such termination, be entitled to recover damages in
the amount provided in Paragraph 20.2 hereof. Neither Lessee nor any person
claiming through or under Lessee or by virtue of any statute or order of any
court shall be entitled to possession of the Premises but shall surrender the
Premises to Lessor. Nothing contained herein shall limit or prejudice the right
of Lessor to recover damages by reason of any such termination equal to the
maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and
governing the proceedings in which, such damages are to be proved; whether or
not such amount is greater, equal to, or less than the amount of damages
recoverable under the provisions of this Paragraph 14.
15. Indemnification and Release.
15.1 Lessee shall indemnify, defend and hold Lessor and its officers,
directors, agents and employees harmless from all claims, demands, costs and
expenses (including reasonable professionals' fees) directly or indirectly
arising from or in connection with Lessee's use of the Premises or the conduct
of its business or from any activity, work, or thing done, permitted or suffered
by Lessee in or about the Premises. Lessee shall further indemnify, defend and
hold Lessor harmless from all claims arising from any breach or default in the
performance of any obligation to be performed by Lessee under the terms of this
Lease, or arising from any act, neglect, fault or omission of Lessee or of its
agents or employees, and from and against all costs, professionals' fees,
expenses and liabilities incurred in or about such claim or any action or
proceeding brought thereon, notwithstanding any active or passive negligence of
Lessor. In case any action or proceeding shall be brought against Lessor by
reason of any such claim, Lessee upon notice from Lessor shall defend the same
at Lessee's expense by counsel selected by mutual agreement of Lessee and
Lessor. Lessee, as a material part of the consideration to Lessor, hereby
assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to persons in, upon or about
the Premises from any cause whatsoever except that which is caused by the
failure of Lessor to observe any of the terms and conditions of this Lease where
such failure has persisted for an unreasonable period of time after written
notice of such failure.

16. Insurance.
16.1 Liability Insurance. Lessee shall, at Lessee's expense, obtain and
keep in force during the term of this Lease and any other period of occupancy
hereof, a policy of Combined Single Limit, Bodily Injury and Property Damage
insurance insuring Lessor and Lessee against any liability arising out of the
ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises and all areas
appurtenant thereto. Such insurance shall be in an amount not less than One
Million Dollars ($1,000,000) combined single limit, Two Million Dollars
($2,000,000) aggregate, for injury to or death of one or more persons in an
occurrence, and for damage to tangible property (including loss of use) in an
occurrence, said limit to be adjusted for inflation every three (3) years. The
policy shall insure the hazards of premises and operations, independent
contractors, contractual liability (covering the Indemnity Clause contained in
this Paragraph 16 and Paragraph 15 above), products and completed operations,
and shall (i) name Landlord and his managing agent as additional insured, (ii)
contain a cross liability provision, and (iii) contain an endorsement that "the
insurance provided the Landlord hereunder shall be primary and noncontributing
with any other insurance available to the Landlord." The limits of said
insurance shall not, however, limit the liability of Lessee hereunder. Not
withstanding any contrary provision contained herein, Lessee's insurance
requirements hereunder may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella
or excess coverage.
16.2 Property Insurance.
(a) Lessee shall obtain at Lessee's sole cost and expense a
policy or policies of insurance covering loss or damage to the Premises, in the
amount of the full replacement value thereof, as the same may exist from time to
time, but in no event less than the total amount required by lenders having
liens on the Premises, against all perils included within the classification of
fire, extended coverage, vandalism, malicious mischief, flood, earthquake, and
special extended period ("Special Form" as such term is used in the insurance
industry). Said insurance shall name as additional insured and provide for
payment of loss to Lessor, or to the holders of mortgages or to beneficiaries
under deeds of trust on the Premises. This insurance shall cover the building(s)
to which this Lease applies, including tenant improvements, heating and cooling
equipment or machinery and electrical equipment, as well as any furniture,
fixtures, equipment or other personal property owned by Lessor. A Stipulated
Value or Agreed Amount endorsement deleting the coinsurance provision of the
policy shall be procured with said insurance. If such insurance coverage has a
deductible clause, the deductible amount shall not exceed Five Thousand Dollars
($5,000) per occurrence, and Lessee shall be liable for such deductible amount.
(b) If the Premises are part of a larger building, or if the
Premises are part of a group of buildings owned by Lessor which are adjacent to
the Premises, then Lessee shall pay for any increase in the property insurance
of such other building or buildings if said increase is caused by Lessee's acts,
omissions, use or occupancy of the Premises.
-11-
15
(c) Lessee shall insure its contents equipment and tenant
improvements at full replacement value.
(d) Lessee shall, at its own expense, obtain business
interruption insurance of such type and coverage sufficient to pay all rent and
other sums due hereunder for a period of not less than 12 months in the event of
any cessation or reduction of Lessee's business for any reason including,
without limitation, damage or destruction described in Paragraph 17 below.
(e) Earthquake insurance shall have a maximum deductible of
fifteen (15%) percent. Lessor shall be responsible for payment of the deductible
if earthquake damage occurs.
16.3 Other Required Insurance.
(a) Any other form or forms of insurance as Lessee or Lessor
or any mortgagees of Lessor may reasonably require from time to time in form, in
amounts and for insurance risks against which a prudent lessee would protect
itself.
16.4 Insurers. Insurance policies required hereunder shall be in a form
satisfactory to Lessor and issued by insurance companies holding a "General
Policyholders Rating" of at least A, or such other rating as may be required by
a lender having a lien on the Premises, as set forth in the most current issue
of "Best's Insurance Guide."
16.5 Waiver of Subrogation. Lessee and Lessor each hereby release and
relieve the other, and waive their entire right of recovery against the other
for loss or damage arising out of or incident to the period insured against
under Paragraph 16, which perils occur in, on or about the Premises, whether due
to the negligence of Lessor or Lessee or their agents, employees, contractors
and/or invitees.
16.6 Exemption of Lessor from Liability. Lessee hereby agrees that Lessor
shall not be liable for injury to Lessee's business or any loss of income
therefrom or from damage to the goods, wares, merchandise or other property of
Lessee, Lessee's employees, invitees, customers, or any other person in or about
the Premises, nor shall Lessor be liable for injury to the person of Lessee,
Lessee's employees, agents or contractors, whether such damage or injury is
caused by or results from fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, or from
the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, sprinklers, wires,
appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures, or from any other
cause, whether the said damage or injury results from conditions arising upon
the Premises or upon other portions of the building of which the Premises are a
part, or from other sources or places and regardless of whether the cause of
such damage or injury or the means of repairing the same is inaccessible to
Lessee. Lessor shall not be liable for any damage arising from any act or
neglect of any other tenant, if any, of the building in which the Premises are
located. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor's exemption from liability shall
not extend to damage otherwise suffered which is caused by Lessor's negligence.
-12-
16
16.7 Insurance Policies. All insurance policies obtained by Lessee
hereunder shall:
(a) Provide for waiver of subrogation releasing Lessor from
any claims for damage to any persons or property in or about the Premises or any
other insured risk. The policies shall contain all necessary endorsements for
Lessor's or Lessee's insurance company which may be necessary or required to
effect this waiver of subrogation.
(b) Provide that such policy may not be canceled, reduced in
coverage or amount, or amended in any manner for any reason whatsoever except
after at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lessor and Lessor's
lender, if any.
(c) Within ten (10) days after execution of this Lease, and
thereafter upon demand at any time during the term hereof, Lessee shall deliver
to Lessor copies of policies or certificates of insurance evidencing existence
of the amounts and forms of coverage and proof of payment satisfactory to
Lessor.
(d) Lessee shall, within ten (10) days prior to the
expiration of the policies required hereunder, furnish the Lessor with renewal
policies or certificates or "binders" thereof. Failure to do so may result in
the Lessor ordering such insurance and charging the cost thereof to Lessee as
additional rent, or may, in Lessor's sole discretion, constitute a default under
this Lease. If Lessor does obtain any insurance that is the responsibility of
the Lessee under this section, Lessor shall deliver to Lessee a written
statement setting forth the cost of such insurance and showing in reasonable
detail the manner in which it has been computed.
17. Damage or Destruction.
17.1 Definitions.
(a) "Premises Partial Damage" shall herein mean damage or
destruction to the Premises to the extent that the cost of repair is less than
twenty five percent (25%) of the then replacement cost of the Premises, as such
replacement cost is determined by a licensed contractor mutually agreed upon by
Lessor and Lessee. "Premises Building Partial Damage" shall herein mean damage
or destruction to the building, if any, of which the Premises are a part of the
extent that the cost of repair is less than twenty five percent (25%) of the
then replacement cost (determined as described above) of such building as a
whole.
(b) "Premises Total Destruction" shall herein mean damage or
destruction to the Premises to the extent that the cost of repair is twenty five
percent (25%) or more of the then replacement cost of the Premises, as such
replacement cost is determined by a licensed contractor mutually agreed upon by
Lessor and Lessee. "Premises Building Total Destruction" shall herein mean
damage or destruction to the building, if any, of which the Premises are a part
to the extent that the cost of repair is twenty five percent (25%) or more of
the then replacement cost (determined as described above) of such building as a
whole.
-13-
17
(c) "Insured Loss" shall herein mean damage or destruction
which was caused by an event required to be covered by the insurance described
in Paragraph 16 and for which the insurance proceeds of such policy(ies) are
sufficient to pay the full cost of repair, excluding any deductible amounts.
17.2 Partial Damage--Insured Loss. Subject to the provisions of
Paragraphs 17.4, 17.5, and 17.6, if at any time during the term of this Lease
there is damage which is an Insured Loss and which falls into the classification
of Premises Partial Damage or Premises Building Partial Damage, then Lessor
shall, at Lessor's expense utilizing insurance proceeds, repair such damage, but
not Lessee's fixtures, equipment or tenant improvements installed by Landlord at
Tenant's expense, as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall continue
in full force and effect. Notwithstanding the above, if the insurance proceeds
received by Lessor are not sufficient to effect such repair, Lessor shall give
notice to Lessee of the amount required in addition to the insurance proceeds to
effect such repair. Lessee shall contribute the required amount to Lessor within
ten days after Lessee has received notice from Lessor of the shortage in the
insurance, and Lessee's failure to do so shall be a material breach of this
Lease. When Lessee shall contribute such amount to Lessor, Lessor shall make
such repairs as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall continue in
full force and effect. Lessee shall in no event have any right to reimbursement
for any such amounts so contributed.
17.3 Partial Damage--Uninsured Loss. Subject to the provisions of
Paragraphs 17.4, 17.5, and 17.6, if at any time during the term of this Lease
there is damage which is not an Insured Loss and which falls within the
classification of Premises Partial Damage or Premises Building Partial Damage
unless caused by a negligent or willful act of Lessee (in which event Lessee
shall make the repairs at Lessee's expense), Lessor may at Lessor's option
either (i) repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible at Lessor's
expense, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, or
(ii) give written notice to Lessee within thirty (30) days after the date of the
occurrence of such damage of Lessor's intention to cancel and terminate this
Lease, as of the date of the occurrence of such damage.
17.4 Total Destruction. If at any time during the term of this Lease
there is damage, whether or not an Insured Loss, (including destruction required
by any authorized public authority), which falls into the classification of
Premises Total Destruction or Premises Building Total Destruction, this Lease
shall automatically terminate as of the date of such total destruction, and all
insurance proceeds (excepting Tenant's business fixtures and personal items)
shall be payable to Lessor.
17.5 Damage Near End of Term.
(a) If at any time during the last twelve (12) months of the
term of this Lease there is damage, whether or not an Insured Loss, which falls
within the classification of Premises Partial Damage, Lessor or Lessee may
cancel and terminate this Lease as of the date of occurrence of such damage by
giving written notice to the party of its election to do so within thirty (30)
days after the date of occurrence of such damage.
-14-
18
(b) Notwithstanding Paragraph 17.5(a), in the event that
Lessee has an option to extend or renew this Lease, and the time within which
said option may be exercised has not yet expired, Lessee may exercise such
option, if it is to be exercised at all or, in the event Lessee has already
exercised such option, shall reconfirm such exercise in writing, no later than
twenty (20) days after the occurrence of an Insured Loss falling within the
classification of Premises Partial Damage during the last six (6) months of the
term of this Lease. If Lessee duly exercises such option during said twenty (20)
day period, Lessor shall effect repairs in accordance with the provisions of
Paragraph 17.2 above, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. If
Lessee fails to exercise or reconfirm its prior exercise of such option during
said twenty (20) day period, then Lessor may at Lessor's option terminate and
cancel this Lease of the expiration of said twenty (20) day period by giving
written notice to Lessee of Lessor's election to do so within ten (10) days
after the expiration of said twenty (20) day period. In the event of any
conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Paragraph 17.5 and the
terms or conditions of any such option, the provisions hereof shall be
controlling in all respects notwithstanding any term or provision in the grant
of option to the contrary, unless otherwise expressly agreed in a writing which
expressly and specifically refers to this Paragraph 17.5.
17.6 Waiver. Lessor and Lessee hereby waive the provisions of any
statutes or court decisions which relate to the abatement or termination of
leases when leased property is damaged or destroyed, and agree that such event
shall be exclusively governed by the terms of this Lease.
18. Real Property Taxes.
18.1 Payment of Taxes. Lessee shall pay the real property tax, as defined
in Paragraph 18.2, applicable to the Premises during the term of this Lease. All
such payments shall be made to Lessor prior to the due date of such payment. If
any such real property taxes paid by Lessee shall cover any period of time prior
to or after the expiration of the term hereof, Lessee's share of such real
property taxes shall be equitably prorated to cover only the period of time
within the tax fiscal year during which this Lease shall be in effect, and
Lessor shall reimburse Lessee to the extent required. If Lessee shall fail to
pay any such real property taxes, Lessor shall have the right to pay the same,
in which case Lessee shall repay such amount to Lessor with Lessee's next rent
installment together with interest at the rate described in Paragraph 4.3. In
the event Lessee occupies a portion of a larger building and real property taxes
are billed to Lessor, Lessee shall pay its pro rata share as determined in
Paragraph 18.3 of said taxes within ten (10) days after billing by Landlord.
18.2 Definition of "Real Property Tax". As used herein, the term "real
property tax" shall include any form of real estate tax or assessment, general,
special, ordinary or extraordinary, and any license fee, rental tax, parking
surcharge, improvement bond or bonds, levy or tax (other than inheritance,
personal income or estate taxes) imposed on or with respect to the Premises by
any authority having the direct or indirect power to tax, including any city,
state or federal government, or any school, agricultural, sanitary, fire,
street, drainage or other improvement district thereof, as against any legal or
equitable interest of Lessor in the Premises or in the real property of which
the Premises are a part, as against Lessor's right to rent or other income
therefrom, and as against Lessor's business of leasing the Premises. The term
"real
-15-
19
property tax" shall also include any tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge (i) in
substitution of, partially or totally, any tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge
hereinabove included within the definition of "real property tax," or (ii) the
nature of which was hereinbefore included within the definition of "real
property tax," or (iii) which is imposed as a result of a transfer, either
partial or total, of Lessor's interest in the Premises or which is added to a
tax or charge hereinbefore included within the definition of real property tax
by reason of such transfer, or (iv) which is imposed by reason of this
transaction, any modifications or changes hereto, or any transfers hereof; or
(v) which is measured by or reasonably attributable to the cost or value of
Lessee's equipment, fixtures or other property located on the Premises or
Lessee's leasehold improvements made in or to the Premises, regardless whether
title to such improvements shall be in Lessor or Lessee; or (vi) upon or
measured by the rent payable hereunder; or (vii) upon or with respect to the
possession, leasing, operation, maintenance, management, repair, use or
occupancy of the Premises or any portion thereof.
18.3 Joint Assessment. If the premises are not separately assessed,
Lessee's liability shall be an equitable proportion of the real property taxes
for all of the land and improvements included within the tax parcel assessed,
such proportion to be determined by Lessor from the respective valuations
assigned in the assessor's work sheets or such other information as may be
reasonably available. Lessor's reasonable determination thereof shall be
conclusive.
18.4 Personal Property Taxes.
(a) Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes assessed
against and levied upon trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other
personal property of Lessee contained in the Premises or elsewhere. When
possible, Lessee shall cause said trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all
other personal property to be assessed and billed separately from the real
property of Lessor.
(b) If any of Lessee's said personal property shall be
assessed with Lessor's real property, Lessee shall pay Lessor the taxes
attributable to Lessee within ten (10) days after receipt of a written statement
setting forth the taxes applicable to Lessee's property.
19. Utilities.
19.1 Lessee shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, powers, telephone,
waste removal, sewer and other utilities and services supplied to the Premises,
together with any taxes thereon. If any such services are not separately metered
to Lessee, Lessee shall pay a reasonable proportion to be determined by Lessor
of all charges jointly metered with other Premises. Lessee agrees to pay for any
separate meters that Lessor may install from time to time.
20. Defaults and Remedies.
20.1 The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall
constitute a default hereunder by Lessee:
-16-
20
(a) The failure by Lessee to make any payment of rent or
additional rent or any other payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder, as
and when due.
(b) The failure by Lessee to observe or perform any of the
express or implied covenants or provisions of this Lease to be observed or
performed by Lessee, other than as specified in Paragraph 20.1(a) or (b) above,
where such failure shall continue for a period of ten (10) days after written
notice thereof from Lessor to Lessee. Any such notice shall be in lieu of, and
not in addition to, any notice required under applicable state statutes
regarding unlawful detainer actions. If the nature of the Lessee's default is
such that more than ten (10) days are reasonably required for its cure, then
Lessee shall not be deemed to be in default if Lessee shall commence such cure
within said ten (10) day period and thereafter diligently prosecute such cure to
completion, which completion shall occur not later than sixty (60) days from the
date of such notice from Lessor.
(c) The occurrence of any event described in Paragraph 14
above.
20.2 In the event of any such default by Lessee, in addition to any other
remedies available to Lessor at law or in equity, Lessor shall have the
immediate option to terminate this Lease and all rights of Lessee hereunder and
offset any deposits of Lessee against Lessee's obligations. In the event that
Lessor shall elect to so terminate this Lease then Lessor may recover from
Lessee:
(a) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which
had been earned at the time of such termination including interest at the
maximum permissible by law; plus
(b) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which
the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of
award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Lessee proves could have been
reasonably avoided including the maximum interest permissible by law; plus
(c) 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 Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided; plus
(d) any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for the
detriment proximately caused by Lessee's failure to perform Lessee's obligations
under this Lease or which is the ordinary course of events would be likely to
result therefrom.
20.3 As used in Paragraphs 20.2(a) and (b) above, the "worth at the time
of award" is computed by allowing interest at the maximum rate permitted by law
or 12% whichever is greater. As used in Paragraph 20.2(c) above, the "worth at
the time of award" is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate
of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one (1)
percent. Efforts by Lessor to mitigate the damages caused by Lessee's breach of
this Lease shall to waive Lessor's right to recover damages under this Paragraph
20.2.
-17-
21
20.4 In the event of any such default by Lessee, Lessor shall also have
the right, with or without terminating this Lease, to re-enter the Premises and
remove all persons and property from the Premises; such property may be removed
and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account
of Lessee. No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Lessor pursuant
to this Paragraph 20.3 shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease
unless a written notice of such intention is given by Lessee or unless the
termination thereof is decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. In the
event of any such default by Lessee, Lessor shall also have the right and
option, but not the obligation, to apply or retain Lessee's security deposit as
provided in paragraph 5 above.
20.5 All rights, options and remedies of Lessor contained in this Lease
shall be construed and held to be cumulative, and no one of them shall be
exclusive of the other, and Lessor shall have the right to pursue any one or all
of such remedies or any other remedy or relief which may be provided by law,
whether or not stated in this Lease. No waiver of any default of Lessee
hereunder shall be implied from any acceptance by Lessor of any rent or other
payments due hereunder or any omission by Lessor to take any action on account
of such default if such default persists or is repeated, and no express waiver
shall affect defaults other than as specified in said waiver. The consent or
approval of Lessor to or of any act by Lessee requiring Lessor's consent or
approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary Lessor's consent or
approval to or of any subsequent similar acts by Lessee.
21. Condemnation.
21.1 If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under the power of
eminent domain, or sold under the threat of the exercise of said power (all of
which are herein called "condemnation"), this Lease shall terminate as to the
part so taken as of the date the condemning authority takes title or possession,
whichever first occurs, but shall remain in full force and effect as to the
balance of the Premises, except as hereinafter provided. If more than fifteen
percent (15%) of the floor area of the Premises, or more than twenty-five
percent (25%) of the land area of the Premises which is not occupied by any
building, is taken by condemnation, Lessee may, at Lessee's option, to be
exercised in writing only within ten (10) days after Lessor shall have given
Lessee written notice of such taking (or in the absence of such notice, within
ten (10) days after the condemning authority shall have taken possession)
terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning authority takes such
possession. If Lessee does not terminate this Lease in accordance with the
foregoing, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect as to the portion of
the Premises remaining, except that the rent shall be reduced to the same
proportion that the floor area of the remaining Premises bears to the original
floor area of the Premises. No reduction of rent shall occur if the only area
taken is that which does not have a building located thereon. Any award for the
taking of all or any part of the Premises under the power of eminent domain or
any payment made under threat of the exercise of such power shall be the sole
and exclusive property of Lessor, whether such award shall be made as
compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or for the taking of the
fee, or as severance damages, or for the bonus value or market value of this
Lease, or for the value of any option to extent the term of this Lease or to
purchase the Premises; provided, however, that Lessee shall be entitled to any
award for loss of
-18-
22
or damage to trade fixtures, removable personal property, bonus value of this
Lease, relocation and removal expenses, loss of good will and any other amount
of damage suffered by Lessee provided such other amount of damage does not
reduce Lessor's award, provided such award is separately made. In the event that
this Lease is not terminated by reason of such condemnation, Lessor shall to the
extent of severance damages received by Lessor in connection with such
condemnation, repair any damage to the Premises caused by such condemnation
except to the extent that Lessee has been reimbursed therefor by the condemning
authority.
22. Estoppel Certificate.
22.1 Within ten (10) days following any written request which Lessor may
make from time to time, Lessee shall execute and deliver to Lessor a statement
certifying: (i) the date of commencement of this Lease; (ii) the fact that this
Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been
modifications hereto, that this Lease is in full force and effect, and stating
the date and nature of such modification); (iii) the date to which the rental
and other sums payable under this Lease have been paid; (iv) that there are no
current defaults under this Lease by either Lessor or Lessee except as specified
in Lessee's statement; and (v) such other matters requested by Lessor. Lessor
and Lessee intend that any statement delivered pursuant to this Article 22 may
be relied upon by any mortgagee, beneficiary, purchaser or prospective purchaser
of the Building or any interest therein.
22.2 Lessee's failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be
conclusive upon Lessee (i) that this Lease is in full force and effect, without
modification except as may be represented by Lessor, (ii) that there are no
uncured defaults in Lessor's performance, (iii) that not more than one month's
rental has been paid in advance, and (iv) that Lessee has thereby appointed
Lessor as Lessee's special attorney-in-fact for the purpose of executing and
delivering any statement on Lessee's behalf.
23. Governing Law.
23.1 This Lease shall be governed by and construed pursuant to the laws
of the state in which the Premises are located.
24. Successors and Assigns.
24.1 Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, all of the covenants,
conditions and provisions of this Lease shall be binding upon and shall inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal
representatives, successors and assigns.
25. Reasonable Professionals' Fees.
25.1 If Lessor shall bring suit for possession of the Premises, for the
recovery of any sum due under this Lease, or because of the breach of any
provisions of this Lease, or for any other relief against Lessee hereunder, or
in the event of any other litigation between the parties with respect to this
Lease, then all costs and expenses, including reasonable professionals' fees
-19-
23
and costs of appeals incurred by the prevailing party therein shall be paid by
the other party, including professionals' fees short of litigation which
obligation on the part of the other party shall be deemed to have accrued on the
date of the commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or not
the action is prosecuted to judgment.
25.2 If Lessor is named as a defendant in any suit brought against Lessee
in connection with or arising out of Lessee's occupancy hereunder, Lessee shall
pay to Lessor its costs and expenses incurred in such suit, including reasonable
professionals' fees and costs of appeals.
26. Performance by Lessee.
26.1 All covenants and agreements to be performed by Lessee under any of
the terms of this Lease shall be performed by Lessee at Lessee's sole cost and
expense and without any abatement of rent. If Lessee shall fail to pay any sum
of money owed to any party other than Lessor, for which it is liable hereunder,
or if Lessee shall fail to perform any other act on its part to be performed
hereunder or otherwise violate any term or provision of this Lease, and such
failure or violation shall continue for ten (10) days for monetary default and
thirty (30) days for non-monetary default after notice thereof by Lessor, Lessor
may, without waiving or releasing Lessee from obligations of Lessee, but shall
not be obligated to, make any such payment or perform any such other act to be
made or performed by Lessee. All sums so paid by Lessor and all necessary
incidental costs together with interest thereon at the rate described in
Paragraph 4.3 above, from the date of such payment by Lessor, shall be payable
to Lessor on demand. Lessee covenants to pay any such sums, and Lessor shall
have (in addition to any other right of remedy of Lessor) all rights and
remedies in the event of the non-payment thereof by Lessee as are set forth in
Article 20 hereof.
27. Mortgage Protection.
27.1 In the event of any default on the part of Lessor, Lessee will give
notice by registered or certified mail to any beneficiary of a deed of trust or
mortgage covering the Premises whose address shall have been furnished to
Lessee, and shall offer such beneficiary or mortgagee a reasonable opportunity
to cure the default, including time to obtain possession of the Premises by
power of sale or a judicial foreclosure, if such should prove necessary to
effect a cure.
28. Definition of Lessor.
28.1 The term "Lessor," as used in this Lease, so far as covenants or
obligations on the part of Lessor are concerned, shall be limited to mean and
include only the owner or owners, at the time in question, of the fee title of
the Premises or the lessees under any ground lease, if any. In the event of any
transfer, assignment or other conveyance or transfer of any such title, Lessor
herein named (and in case of any subsequent transfers or conveyances, the then
grantor) shall be automatically freed and relieved from and after the date of
such transfer, assignment or conveyance of all liability as respects the
performance of any covenants or obligations on the part
-20-
24
of Lessor contained in this Lease thereafter to be performed. Without further
agreement, the transferee of such title shall be deemed to have assumed and
agreed to observe and perform any and all obligations of Lessor hereunder,
during its ownership of the Premises. Lessor may transfer its interest in the
Premises without the consent of Lessee and such transfer or subsequent transfer
shall not be deemed a violation on Lessor's part of any of the terms and
conditions of this Lease.
29. Waiver.
29.1 The waiver by Lessor of any breach of any term, covenant or
condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent
breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained,
nor shall any custom or practice which may grow up between the parties in the
administration of the terms hereof be deemed a waiver of or in any way affect
the right of Lessor to insist upon the performance by Lessee in strict
accordance with said terms. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by
Lessor shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of
any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Lessee
to pay the particular rent so accepted, regardless of Lessor's knowledge of such
preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent.
30. Identification of Lessee.
30.1 If more than one person executes this Lease as Lessee, (i) each of
them is jointly and severally liable for the keeping, observing and performing
of all of the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements of this
Lease to be kept, observed and performed by Lessee, and (ii) the term "Lessee"
as used in this Lease shall mean and include each of them jointly and severally.
The act of or notice from, or notice or refund to, or the signature of any one
or more of them, with respect to the tenancy of this Lease, including, but not
limited to any renewal, extension, expiration, termination or modification of
this Lease, shall be binding upon each and all of the persons executing this
Lease as Lessee with the same force and effect as if each and all of them had so
acted or so given or received such notice or refund or so signed.
31. Terms and Headings.
31.1 The words "Lessor" and "Lessee" as used herein shall include the
plural as well as the singular. Words used in any gender include other genders.
The Paragraph headings of this Lease are not a part of this Lease and shall have
o effect upon the construction or interpretation of any part hereof.
-21-
25
32. Examination of Lease.
32.1 Submission of this instrument for examination or signature by Lessee
does not constitute a reservation of or option for lease, and it is not
effective as a lease or otherwise until execution by and delivery to both Lessor
and Lessee.
33. Time.
33.1 Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of every
provision of this Lease.
34. Prior Agreement; Amendments.
34.1 This Lease contains all of the agreements of the parties hereto with
respect to any matter covered or mentioned in this Lease, and no prior agreement
or understanding pertaining to any such matter shall be effective for any
purpose. No provisions of this lease may be amended or added to except by an
agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto or their respective successors
in interest.
35. Separability.
35.1 Any provision of this Lease which shall prove to be invalid, void or
illegal in no way affects, impairs or invalidates any other provision hereof,
and such other provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
36. Recording.
36.1 Neither Lessor nor Lessee shall record this Lease nor a short form
memorandum thereof without the consent of the other.
37. Authority.
37.1 Each person executing this Lease on behalf of a party hereto hereby
represents and warrants that he has been thereunto duly authorized by
appropriate action of such party. Lessee agrees to provide to Lessor such
information or documents as Lessor may reasonably request in connection with the
foregoing.
38. Limitation on Liability. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 28 above,
the obligations of Lessor under this Lease shall not constitute personal
obligations of Lessor, the individual partners of Lessor or its or their
individual partners, directors, officers or shareholders, and Lessee shall look
to the Premises, and to no other assets of Lessor, for the satisfaction of any
liability of Lessor with respect to this Lease, and shall not seek recourse
against the individual partners of Lessor, or its or their individual partners,
directors, officers, or shareholders, or any of their personal assets for such
satisfaction. This limitation on liability shall not apply to Lessor's
obligations to construct the Premises in a good and workmanlike manner and in
accordance with
-22-
26
all applicable zoning, environmental and building codes and laws.
39. Lessor's Access.
39.1 Lessor and Lessor's agents shall have the right to enter the
Premises with reasonable advance notice to Lessee at reasonable times for the
purpose of inspecting the same, showing the same to prospective purchasers,
lenders, or lessees, and making such alterations, repairs, improvements or
additions to the Premises or to the building of which they are a part as Lessor
may deem necessary or desirable. Lessor may at any time place on or about the
Premises any ordinary "For Sale" signs and Lessor may at any time during the
last 180 days of the term hereof place on or about the Premises any ordinary
"For Lease" signs, all without rebate of rent or liability to Lessee.
40. Auctions.
40.1 Lessee shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted, either
voluntarily or involuntarily, any auction upon the Premises without first having
obtained Lessor's prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Lease, Lessor shall not be obligated to exercise any standard
of reasonableness in determining whether to grant such consent.
41. Signs.
41.1 All signs shall comply with rules and regulations set forth by
Lessor as may be modified from time to time. Lessee shall not place any signs or
other display materials in or about the Premises or proximate to any exterior
window if such sign is visible from the exterior of the Premises, without
Lessor's prior written consent. Any signs or display materials violating this
provision may be destroyed by Lessor without compensation to Lessee.
Additionally, Lessee shall place no window covering (e.g., shades, blinds,
curtains, drapes, screens, or tinting material), stickers, signs, lettering,
banners or advertising or display materials on or near exterior windows or doors
if such materials are visible from the exterior of the Premises, without
Lessor's prior written consent. Similarly, Lessee may not install any alarm
boxes, foil protection tape or other security equipment on the premises without
Lessor's prior written consent.
42. Guarantor.
42.1 In the event that there is a guarantor of this Lease, said guarantor
shall have the same obligations as Lessee under this Lease.
43. Subordination and Attornment.
43.1 This Lease, at Lessor's option, shall be subordinate to any ground
lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or any other hypothecation or security now or
hereafter placed upon the real property of which the Premises are a part and to
any and all advances made on the security thereof and to all renewals,
modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof.
Notwithstanding such subordination, Lessee's right to quiet possession of the
Premises shall not
-23-
27
be disturbed if Lessee is not in default and so long as Lessee shall pay the
rent and observe and perform all of the provisions of this Lease, unless this
Lease is otherwise terminated pursuant to its terms. In the event of any sale or
assignment of the Premises or if any proceedings are brought for foreclosure, or
in the event of the exercise of any power of sale under any mortgage or deed of
trust affecting the Premises, Lessee shall attorn to the purchaser and recognize
such purchaser as Lessor hereunder. If any mortgagee, trustee or ground lessor
shall elect to have this Lease prior to the lien of its mortgage, deed of trust
or ground lease, and shall give written notice thereof to Lessee, this Lease
shall be deemed prior to such mortgage, deed of trust, or ground lease, whether
this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date of said mortgage, deed of
trust or ground lease or the date of recording thereof.
43.2 Lessee agrees to execute any documents required to effectuate an
attornment, a subordination or to make this Lease prior to the lien of any
mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, as the case may be. Lessee's failure to
execute such documents within ten (10) days after written demand shall
constitute a material default by Lessee hereunder, or, at Lessor's option,
Lessor shall execute such documents on behalf of Lessee as Lessee's
attorney-in-fact. Lessee does hereby make, constitute and irrevocably appoint
Lessor as Lessee's attorney-in-fact and in Lessee's name, place and stead, to
execute such documents in accordance with this Paragraph 43.2. Lessor's
authority to execute subordination and attornment documents on behalf of Lessee
or on behalf of Lessee's attorney in fact is conditioned upon the following: (a)
Lessor having given Lessee ten (10) days' prior written notice; and (b)
Nondisturbance considerations providing that Lessee's possession shall not be
disturbed so long as Lessee is not in default and pays the rent and observes all
of the provisions of this Lease.
44. Riders.
44.1 If, in connection with obtaining construction, interim or permanent
financing for the Premises or any real property of which the Premises are a part
the lender shall request reasonable non-monetary modifications in this Lease as
a condition to such financing, Lessee will not unreasonably withhold, delay or
defer its consent thereto, provided that such modifications do not materially
increase the obligations of Lessee hereunder or materially adversely affect the
leasehold interest hereby created or Lessee's rights hereunder.
45. Easements.
45.1 Lessor reserve to itself the right, from time to time, to grant such
easements, rights and dedications that Lessor deems necessary or desirable, and
to cause the recordation of parcel maps and restrictions, so long as such
easements, rights, dedications, maps and restrictions do not unreasonably
interfere with the use of the Premises by Lessee. Lessee shall sign any of the
aforementioned documents upon request of Lessor and failure to do so shall
constitute a material breach of this Lease.
-24-
28
46. Performance Under Protest.
46.1 If at any time a dispute shall arise as to any amount or sum of
money to be paid by one party to the other under the provisions hereof, the
party against whom the obligation to pay the money is asserted shall have the
right to make payment "under protest" and such payment shall not be regarded as
a voluntary payment, and there shall survive the right on the part of said party
to institute suit for recovery of such sum. If it shall be adjudged that there
was no legal obligation on the part of said party to pay such sum or any part
thereof, said party shall be entitled to recover such sum or so much thereof as
it was not legally required to pay under the provisions of this Lease.
47. Assignment and Subletting.
47.1 Lessee shall not either voluntarily or by operation of law, assign,
sell, encumber, pledge or otherwise transfer all or any part of Lessee's
leasehold estate hereunder, or permit the Premises to be occupied by anyone
other than Lessee or Lessee's employees, or sublet the Premises or any portion
thereof, without Lessor's prior written consent in each instance, which consent
may not be unreasonably withheld. Consent by Lessor to one or more assignments
of this Lease or to one or more sublettings of the Premises shall not operate to
exhaust Lessor's rights under this Paragraph. If Lessee is a corporation which,
under the then current guidelines of the State, is not deemed a public
corporation or is an unincorporated association or partnership, the transfer,
assignment, or hypothecation of any stock or interest in such corporation,
association or partnership in the aggregate in excess of thirty-five percent
(35%), or liquidation thereof, shall be deemed an assignment. Lessee agrees to
reimburse Lessor for Lessor's reasonable costs and professionals' fees incurred
in conjunction with the processing and documentation of any such requested
assignment, subletting, transfer, change of ownership or hypothecation of this
Lease. However, assignment may be withheld in Lessor's sole and absolute
discretion.
47.2 If Lessee desires at any time to assign this Lease or to sublet the
premises or any portion thereof, it shall first notify Lessor of its desire to
do so and shall submit in writing to Lessor (i) the name of the proposed
subtenant or assignee; (ii) the nature of the proposed subtenant's or assignee's
business to be carried on in the Premises; (iii) the terms and provisions of the
proposed sublease or assignment; (v) the terms and provisions of the proposed
sublease or assignment; (iv) such reasonable financial information as Lessor may
request concerning the proposed subtenant or assignee.
47.3 As a condition for granting its consent to any assignment,
encumbrance of sublease, Lessor may require that the sublessee or assignee remit
directly to Lessor, on a monthly basis, all monies due to Lessee by said
assignee or sublessee. If said monies are greater than the rent required under
this Lease, Lessor shall retain fifty percent (50%) of the excess, and Lessee
shall have no interest therein. If said monies are less than the rent required
under this Lease, Lessee shall pay the difference to Lessor. Lessor's waiver or
consent to any assignment or subletting shall not relieve Lessee from any
obligation under this Lease. Neither an assignment by merger or the sale of all
or substantially all of the assets of Lessee nor the occupancy of all or
-25-
29
part of the Premises by parent, wholly-owned subsidiary, or wholly-owned
affiliated companies of Lessee shall be deemed an assignment or subletting for
purposes of this Paragraph.
47.4 No subletting or assignment, even with the consent of Lessor, shall
relieve Lessee of its obligation to pay the rent and perform all the other
obligations to be performed by Lessee hereunder. The acceptance of rent by
Lessor from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Lessor of any
provision of this Lease or to be consent to any assignment or subletting.
48. Surrender Not Merger.
48.1 The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, or a
mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger, and shall, at the option
of Lessor, terminate all or any existing subleases and/or subtenancies, or may,
at the option of Lessor, operate as an assignment to it of any or all of such
subleases or subtenancies.
49. Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions.
49.1 In additional to requirements imposed by law, the care of the
Premises and conduct of business thereupon, among other things, are restricted
or subject to heightened requirements pursuant to one or more recorded Covenant,
Conditions and Restrictions ("CC&Rs"). The terms of all applicable CC&Rs, in
their entirety, are incorporated herein by this reference. Lessee has received a
copy of all applicable CC&R's prior to its execution of this Lease, and such
receipt is acknowledged hereby.
49.2 Lessee shall faithfully observe and comply with the provisions of
all applicable CC&Rs, and all modifications and additions which may from time to
time be enacted pursuant to their terms. Lessee shall similarly observe and
comply with all requests, demands and orders otherwise made by any governing
associations created under the authority of the CC&Rs ("the Associations"). Any
violation of the CC&Rs or orders of the Associations created thereby shall be a
default under this Lease. However, Lessor will not be responsible to Lessee for
the nonperformance of any provisions of such CC&Rs by its tenants occupying
neighboring properties, if any.
49.3 All payments, charges, dues, and assessments imposed under the
authority of the CC&Rs and the Associations ("Association Fees") shall be the
sole responsibility of Lessee, who shall timely pay such Associations Fees
directly to the Association. Each payment shall be made promptly on demand
throughout the term of this lease and shall be paid without deduction or offset.
Failure by Lessee to pay all amounts hereunder when due shall carry the same
consequences as Lessee's failure to pay rent.
50. Additional Expenses.
50.1 Among other obligations hereunder, Lessee is obligated to reimburse
Lessor a monthly management fee of 2% of the monthly base rent.
-26-
30
51. Recovery of Abated Rent.
51.1 If this lease provides for a postponement of any monthly rental
payments, a period of "free" rent or other rental concession, such postponed
rent or "free" rent is called the "Abated Rent." Tenant shall be credited with
having paid all of the Abated Rent on the expiration of the term of this lease
only if tenant has fully, faithfully, and punctually performed all of tenant's
obligations hereunder, including the payment of all rent (other than Abated
Rent) and all other monetary and nonmonetary obligations, and the surrender of
the premises in the physical condition required by this lease. Tenant
acknowledges that its right to received credit for the Abated Rent is absolutely
conditioned upon tenant's full, faithful and punctual performance of its
obligations under this lease. If tenant defaults and does not cure within any
applicable grace period, the Abated Rent shall immediately become due and
payable in full and this lease shall be enforced as if there were no such rent
abatement or other rent concession. In such case, Abated Rent shall be
calculated based on the full initial rent payable under this lease.
52. Indemnification.
52.1 Lessee shall defend, indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from any
loss, claim, liability or expense, including professionals' fees and costs,
arising out of or in connection with its failure to observe or comply with the
provisions of the Lease.
53. Tenant Improvements.
53.1 Lessor shall provide Lessee with a tenant improvement allowance (the
"Tenant Improvement Allowance"), in the amount of TWO HUNDRED TEN THOUSAND AND
No/100 ($210,000.00), to be applied toward the construction of tenant
improvements ("Tenant Improvements"), space planning, construction,
documentation, permits, City fees and other costs directly related to the
construction of Tenant Improvements. The Tenant Allowance is to be applied,
subject to Lessor's written consent, Tenant Improvements to be conducted at the
Premises located at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇. Plans for Tenant
Improvements shall be subject to Lessor's prior written consent, as set forth at
Paragraph 12.4 of the Lease and Exhibit "D" hereto.
53.2 Any unused Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be credited as rent
becomes due.
53.3 Lessor will construct Tenant Improvement per Exhibit "D." Lessor
will bid Tenant Improvements on an open book basis to be approved by Lessee.
Lessor will charge twelve and one-half percent (12.5%) for profit and overhead
as the contractor.
53.4 Tenant Improvements Contractor Warranty. The undersigned Owner
hereby guarantees to the Lessee that all Work, as defined in the Tenant
Improvement Contract Documents, performed by the contractor shall be free from
any defects in workmanship, materials and/or equipment and shall be in strict
compliance with the Tenant Improvement Contract Documents. If, within a period
of one (1) year from the date of acceptance of the Work
-27-
31
by the Lessee, the Work shall prove to be defective, then the contractor shall
repair and/or replace the Work at its own cost and expense. Such repairs shall
be performed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Contract
Documents.
54. Option to Renew Lease.
54.1 Grant of Option. For good and valuable consideration, including the
Premises and obligations undertaken in this Agreement, Lessor hereby grants to
Lessee an option to extend this Lease for an additional term of five (5) years
(the "Renewal Term"), commencing on January 1, 2003 (the "Renewal Commencement
Date") and ending on December 31, 2007 (the "Renewal Expiration Date").
54.2 Obligations of Renewal Term. The lease of the Premises for the
Renewal Term shall be on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Lease
except (i) that the rental for the Premises during the Renewal Term shall be as
set forth in Paragraph 54.5 below, and (ii) the Security Deposit shall be
increased to an amount equal to the newly calculated option period monthly
rental amount (the "Increased Security Deposit Amount").
54.3 Exclusive Means of Exercising Renewal Option. Lessee may exercise its
right to renew the Lease to the Renewal Term only by (a) giving to Lessor
written notice of its election to renew the Lease for the Renewal Term not later
than four (4) months prior to the Renewal Commencement Date, and (b) delivering
to Landlord, in cash, a sum equal to the positive difference between (i) the
amount of the Increased Security Deposit Amount and (ii) the amount of the
then-existing Security Deposit within 10 days after notification from Lessor of
the amount of the increased security deposit. Any attempted exercise of this
Option made other than within the time periods stated or in the manner stated
will be void and of no force or effect.
54.4 No Default Under Lease Whatsoever. Lessee's option to renew this
Lease is expressly conditioned upon Lessee not being in default pursuant to
Paragraph 20 of this Agreement at the time it exercises the option to renew the
Lease.
54.5 Monthly Rent During Renewal Term. If Lessee shall have properly and
timely exercised its right to extend the term of this Lease, and provided that
Lessee is not in default under the terms of this Lease as of the Option Period
Commencement Date, the term of this Lease shall be so extended for such option
Period on the same terms and conditions contained in the Lease; provided,
however, the Fixed Monthly Rental shall be as follows:
January 1, 2003 - December 31, 2003 $19,500.00 NNN/Mo.
January 1, 2004 - December 31, 2004 $20,000.00 NNN/Mo.
