OFFICE LEASE
This LEASE (the "Lease") is made and entered into as of this 9th day of
December, 1998 by and between ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, business
persons, residing in California, d.b.a. ONE TRINITY CENTER, and owner of the
subject property ("Landlord") and DAILY JOURNAL CORPORATION, a South Carolina
corporation ("Tenant").
WITNESSETH:
----------
1. Premises
--------
Landlord, in reliance upon and in consideration of the rents hereinafter
reserved and of the covenants and agreements hereinafter mentioned to be kept
and performed by Tenant, does by these presents lease and let unto Tenant, and
Tenant does hereby hire and take from Landlord approximately 11,305 rentable
square feet primarily on the Eighth Floor ("Premises") including the non-
exclusive use of certain common areas throughout the building in which the
Premises are located (the "Building"), with all of Tenant's usable area located
on the Eighth Floor of the Building. The Premises are approximately as shown on
the floor plan attached hereto as Exhibit A. The real property on which the
Building is situated is located at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇,
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, and a legal description thereof is attached hereto as Exhibit B.
For the purposes hereof, the square footage of the Premises is composed of
any area or areas from the outside face of all walls at the perimeter of such
area or areas other than walls separating one leasable space from another, and
shall include, but not be limited to, rest rooms, mezzanines, storage areas,
clerical or office areas and employee areas. No deduction or exclusion from
floor areas shall be made by reason of columns, ducts, stairs, elevators,
shafts, or other interior construction or equipment.
Landlord further reserves the right at any time, and from time to time, to
construct a vertical ventilation flue shaft through the Building, including
through the floor and ceiling of the Premises and the common areas of the floor
on which the Premises are located, provided such shaft shall be in the
approximate location labelled "Flue Shaft" on Exhibit A against a wall and
enclosed, insulated, and finished in accordance with the standard of the
Building. Tenant acknowledges that such work may cause inconveniences
associated with construction work, and Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to
cause such work to be done in a manner which will minimize disruption of
Tenant's use of the Premises to the extent practicable. Landlord's work as
provided herein shall not constitute or be deemed a breach of quiet enjoyment
and no abatement of rent shall result from such work.
2. Use of Premises
---------------
The Premises shall be used only for general office purposes relating to the
use specified in the Reference Provisions and not for any other use or purpose
without the prior written consent of Landlord, which may be withheld in
Landlord's sole discretion.
3. Term
----
a. The term of this Lease (the "Term") shall commence on the Commencement
Date and end on the Expiration Date specified in the Reference Provisions,
subject to the right of Tenant to extend the Term set forth below in
subparagraph (b), and subject to the cancellation right of Tenant set forth
below in subparagraph (c).
b. Provided that (i) Tenant is not in default under this Lease (after
notice and the expiration of any applicable cure period) at the time of giving
notice of exercise of the option to extend the Term herein granted; and (ii) at
Landlord's option, Tenant is not in default hereunder (after notice and the
expiration of any applicable cure period) at any time after giving such notice
and prior to commencement of the extended Term; and (iii) the entity originally
named as the Tenant herein shall not have made any assignment of this Lease or
sublease or all or part of the Premises (other than an assignment to a
"Permitted Transferee" as defined in paragraph 14(g)), Tenant shall have an
option to extend the Term for the additional period specified in the Reference
Provisions, which option shall be exercised by written notice given by Tenant to
Landlord not later than nine months prior to the end of the initial Term. If
such option is exercised by Tenant, the Term shall be extended on the following
terms and conditions:
(i) The lease of the Premises to Tenant during the Term as extended
shall be upon all the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease, except
that (A) the Minimum Rent shall be in the amount provided in subparagraph
(ii) below; (B) the "Base Year" and "Base Tax Year" for purposes of
determining Tenant's share of Operating Expenses and Taxes shall adjusted
by reference to the calendar year in which the extended Term commences; (C)
the Premises shall be retained by Tenant on an "AS-IS" basis during any
extended Term, and Landlord shall have no duty or obligation whatsoever to
remodel, alter or improve the Premises in connection with the extension, or
to pay or reimburse Tenant for any cost or expense incurred in connection
therewith;
1
and (D) Tenant shall have no right to extend the Term beyond the end of the
Term, as so extended.
(ii) The Minimum Rent for the Premises shall be the full "Fair Market
Rental Value" of the Premises determined as provided below, provided that
in no event shall the Minimum Rent be less than the amount applicable for
the last year of the initial Term, as adjusted to reflect the change in the
Base Year and Base Tax Year used to determine Tenant's share of Operating
Expenses and Taxes. The Fair Market Rental Value of the Premises shall
mean and refer to the annual rental then being paid by tenants on leases
for general office use, upon the same terms applicable under this Lease to
the option period, for space of comparable size, quality, improvements and
location to the Premises, commencing on or about the date of the extension
term, taking into consideration annual rental rates per rentable square
foot, the type of escalation clauses in comparable transactions (including,
but without limitation, operating expense stops, real estate tax and CPI
adjustments), the length of the relevant term, the date as of which the
Fair Market Rental Value is to become effective, rental abatement
concessions in comparable transactions, if any, and any tenant improvement
allowance granted in a comparable transaction. In determining Fair Market
Rental Value, primary consideration shall be given to comparable
transactions in the Building, and in all events comparable transactions
taken into account shall be for premises in buildings of similar quality
and character as the Building. The determination of Fair Market Rental
Value shall take into account the change in the Base Year and Base Tax
Year.
(iii) Landlord and Tenant shall meet and confer and attempt to agree
upon the Minimum Rent of the Premises for the Term as extended. If they
are not able to agree, either party may give written notice to the other
that the Minimum Rent is to be determined by appraisal as provided in this
Lease. Within twenty (20) business days following such notice, each party
shall by written notice to the other appoint an independent and qualified
appraiser. Each of such appraisers shall, within thirty (30) days
following appointment, give written notice to both parties of the
appraiser's determination of the Minimum Rent for the extended Term.
During the ten-day period following the appraisers' determinations,
Landlord and Tenant shall again meet and confer and attempt to agree upon
Minimum Rent. If they are unable to agree, the two appraisers shall
appoint an independent M.A.I. appraiser with not less than five (5) years
experience with office leases in the area in which the Building is located.
Within thirty (30) days following appointment, the third appraiser shall on
written notice to the parties determine the Minimum Rent payable for the
extended Term, which determination shall be binding upon the parties. Each
party shall pay the fees and expenses of the appraiser appointed by it and
one-half of the fees and expenses of the third appraiser, if any. If
Minimum Rent has not been determined as of the commencement of the extended
Term, Tenant shall continue to pay the Minimum Rent provided herein, as
adjusted to reflect the increases payable in respect of Operating Expenses
and Taxes, or, if greater, the average of the Minimum Rent amounts
specified by the first two appraisers, until Minimum Rent is finally
determined. Upon such determination any overpayment or underpayment of
Minimum Rent shall be reconciled, within thirty (30) days of invoice
therefor.
c. Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease effective as of
the day immediately preceding the third anniversary of the Commencement Date by
written notice given to Landlord at least nine (9) months prior to such
anniversary. Such notice shall be effective to terminate this Lease only
provided, and on condition that, it is accompanied by Tenant's payment to
Landlord of an amount equal to the following: (i) a sum equal to the remaining
unamortized balance, determined on a straight line basis over the initial Term
of this Lease, with interest at ten percent per annurn from Term commencement
until the date payment is made to Landlord, of (A) the aggregate amount of the
costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the construction and
installation of the initial improvements described in paragraph 10.1 plus (B)
the brokerage commissions incurred in connection with this Lease; and (ii) a sum
equal to three times the (A) monthly Minimum Rent plus (B) the estimated monthly
payments due, as of the date notice is given, in respect of Operating Expenses
and Taxes.
4. Possession
----------
a. Subject to the provisions of subparagraph (b) below, if Landlord,
for any reason whatsoever, cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant
at the commencement of the Term, this Lease shall not be void or voidable, nor
shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom,
but in that event there shall be an abatement of rent for the period between the
commencement of the Term and the time when Landlord can deliver possession.
b. Landlord contemplates that the work described in paragraph 10.1
will be substantially completed and possession of the Premises tendered to
Tenant prior to or upon March 1, 1999. Tenant shall have a right to terminate
this Lease as provided below if Landlord shall not have substantially completed
such work and tendered possession of the Premises to Tenant by April 1, 1999,
unless such failure is the result of a Tenant Delay or force majeure. Tenant
shall exercise such right upon thirty days written notice to Landlord, which
notice shall state the amount of any "Holdover Premium" (as defined below). Such
notice shall be effective to terminate this Lease immediately unless, within
three business days following receipt of Tenant's notice of termination,
Landlord gives Tenant written notice that
2
Landlord will pay to Tenant or credit against rentals due hereunder the amount
of any Holdover Premium attributable to the portion of the period from April 1,
1999 though April 30, 1999 during which Tenant continues to occupy and pay rent
in respect of the premises that Tenant currently occupies. If Landlord gives
such notice, the termination notice given by Tenant shall not be effective to
terminate this Lease if Landlord substantially completes such work and tenders
possession of the Premises to Tenant by April 30, 1999, as such date may be
extended by any Tenant Delays or force majeure delays; if such work is not so
completed and such tender made, this Lease shall terminate pursuant to Tenant's
termination notice. The term "Holdover Premium" shall mean the lesser of the
following: (i) $27,320.42; or (ii) the amount, if any, by which the rental for
the premises currently occupied by Tenant that is due for the month of April,
1999 (determined in accordance with the good faith arrangements in effect
between Tenant and its current landlord) exceeds $27,320.42. Subject to the
obligation of Landlord to pay any Holdover Premium to Tenant, any termination of
this Lease by Tenant pursuant to this subparagraph shall be Tenant's sole and
exclusive remedy for Landlord's failure to complete the such work and tender
possession of the Premises to Tenant.
5.1 Minimum Rent
------------
Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord in advance on the first day of each and
every consecutive month during the Term or any extension thereof, without
demand, offset or deduction, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, a
minimum monthly rental (the "Minimum Rent") for the Premises, for each and every
month, as set forth in the Reference Provisions. Upon execution of this Lease,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord one month's Minimum Rent in advance, to be applied
against the Minimum Rent due for the first month of the Term. Should the Minimum
Rent commence on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, then the
Minimum Rent for such first fractional month shall be computed on a daily basis
for the period from the day of commencement to the end of such calendar month at
an amount equal to one-thirtieth (1/30th) of the Minimum Rent for each such day,
and thereafter shall be computed and paid as aforesaid.
5.2 Additional Rent
---------------
a. As Additional Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord at the times
hereinafter set forth, an amount equal to (i) Tenant's Share specified
hereinbelow of any increase in "Operating Expenses" (defined below in this
paragraph 5.2) paid or incurred by Landlord in any calendar year with respect to
the operation, repair, maintenance and management of the Building above such
Operating Expenses paid or incurred by Landlord during the Base Year specified
herein below and (ii) Tenant's share of any increase in "Taxes" (defined below
in this paragraph 5.2) paid or incurred by Landlord in any fiscal year in excess
of those paid or incurred in the Base Tax Year specified herein below (all such
rentals, charges and sums other than Minimum Rent being sometimes referred to in
this Lease as Additional Rent and payable as additional rent hereunder, whether
or not the same may be designated "Additional Rent"). If such amounts are not
paid at the time provided in this Lease, they shall nevertheless be collectable,
together with any interest or late charge provided for herein, as Additional
Rent with the next installment of Minimum Rent thereafter falling due, but
nothing herein contained shall be deemed to suspend or delay the payment of any
amount of money or charge at the time the same becomes due and payable
hereunder, or limit any other remedy of Landlord. Landlord's invoice or demand
for any Additional Rent hereunder may be made by regular mail, notwithstanding
the provisions hereof concerning notices. Where the time for payment of any
Additional Rent is not specified herein, the same shall be due and payable
twenty (20) days after Landlord's invoice or demand is given. If at any time
during the Term, less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the total leasable area
of the Building is occupied, the Operating Expenses and Taxes shall be adjusted
by Landlord to reasonably approximate the Operating Expenses and Taxes which
would have been incurred if the Building had been at least ninety-five percent
(95%) occupied.
At or after the commencement of any calendar year subsequent to the Base
Year Landlord may, but shall not be required to, notify Tenant of Landlord's
estimate of the amount of any increase in Operating Expenses for such calendar
year over Operating Expenses for the Base Year, the amount of any increase in
Taxes over those paid or incurred in the Base Tax Year and of the amount of such
estimated increases payable to Tenant. Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the
first day of each calendar month one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount of such
estimated annual increases in Operating Expenses and Taxes payable by Tenant
hereunder. Statements of the amount of actual Operating Expenses for the
preceding calendar year, of Taxes for the appropriate fiscal year and of the
amount of such increases payable by Tenant shall be given to Tenant following
the end of the year. All amounts payable to Tenant as shown on said statement,
less any amounts theretofore paid by Tenant on account of Landlord's estimate of
increases in Operating Expenses and Taxes made pursuant to this paragraph 5.2
shall be paid by Tenant upon delivery of said statement to Tenant. In the event
that Tenant has paid in any given year estimated increases beyond those later
determined from actual reconciliation, then such overpayment shall be applied
toward the Rent for the following year or, if this Lease has terminated and not
been renewed as provided herein, such overpayment shall be promptly refunded to
Tenant, If at any time Landlord determines that Operating Expenses or Taxes will
materially vary from the then estimated Operating Expenses or Taxes, Landlord
may, by written notice to Tenant, revise the amounts of the estimated payments
due from Tenant, and Tenant shall thereafter pay such revised payments.
3
b. The amount of any increase in Operating Expenses and Taxes payable by
Tenant for the year in which this Lease terminates shall be prorated on the
basis which the number of days from and including the commencement of said year
to and including the date on which this lease terminates bears to 365 and shall
be due and payable when tendered notwithstanding termination of this Lease.
c. The term "Operating Expenses" as used herein shall include all costs
of operation, repair, maintenance and management of the Building, including the

master lease relating to the Building; (2) expenditures which, under generally
accepted accounting principles, are capitalized, except that Landlord may
include in Operating Expenses an amortization (in accordance with generally

either for the purpose of reducing Operating Expenses or in order to comply with
the requirements of applicable law which take effect with regard to the Building
after the Commencement Date; (3) rentals for any improvements and permanently
installed fixtures (including HVAC equipment and facilities) which if purchased,

five percent (5%) of gross revenue; (10) any interest, principal payments,

Tenant, its employees and invitees may, except as otherwise specifically
provided in this Lease, use the common areas of the Building as such common
areas may be designated by Landlord during the Term ("Common Areas"), which use
shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in this Lease (including, without
limitation, the Rules and Regulations) and any further restrictions promulgated
by Landlord from time to time. Landlord shall at all times have the right and
privilege of determining the nature and extent of the Common Areas, the
maintenance and repair thereof, and of making such changes therein and thereto
from time to time which, in its sole discretion, are deemed to be desirable,
including, without
5
limitation, the withdrawal of any portion thereof and the relocation of
driveways, entrances, exits, corridors, automobile parking spaces (if any), the
direction and flow of traffic, installation of prohibited areas, landscape
areas, and all other facilities thereof, provided that such facilities shall not
be changed in a manner that would result in a material impairment of access to
the Premises. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to create any liability
upon Landlord for any injury to or death of persons or for damage to or
destruction of property, including, without limitation, for any damage to motor
vehicles of Tenant, its customers or employees, or for loss of property from
within such motor vehicles. Landlord shall at all times during the Term have the
sole and exclusive control of the Common Areas, which also include mechanical
and electrical rooms located throughout the Building, which are available for
the use or benefit of tenants, and may at any time and from time to time during
the Term exclude and restrain any person from use or occupancy thereof
excepting, however, bona fide invitees of Tenant and other tenants of Landlord
who make use of said Common Areas in accordance with the Rules and Regulations
pertaining thereto. Tenant acknowledges that from time to time there may be
inconveniences associated with repair, maintenance, construction and renovation
of the Common Areas and other premises and other portions of the Building, and
Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to cause such work to be done in a manner
which will minimize disruption of Tenant's use of the Premises to the extent
practicable. The rights of Tenant hereunder in and to the Common Areas shall at
all times be subject to the rights of Landlord and other tenants of Landlord who
use the same in common with Tenant, and it shall be the duty of Tenant to keep
all the Common Areas free and clear of any obstructions created or permitted by
Tenant or resulting from Tenant's operation, and to permit the use of any of the
Common Areas without interference by reason of the presence of Tenant in the
Premises. Tenant, upon demand of Landlord, shall correct such situation by
appropriate action or proceedings against all such unauthorized persons. Nothing
herein shall affect the right of Landlord at any time to remove any such
unauthorized persons from said areas or to prevent the use of any said areas by
unauthorized persons.
7. Uses Prohibited
---------------
Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises,
or sell or bring or keep or permit to be kept anything therein, which will in
any way increase the rate of or affect any fire or other insurance upon the
Building or any of its contents, or cause a cancellation of any insurance policy
covering the Building or its contents. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and
expense, comply with any and all requirements pertaining to the Premises of any
insurance organization or company necessary for the maintenance of the fire and
public liability insurance covering the Premises. Tenant shall not do or permit
anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way obstruct or
interfere with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the Building or
injure or annoy them, or use or allow the Premises to be used for any immoral,
unlawful or hazardous or objectionable purposes and Tenant shall not cause,
maintain or permit any nuisance in, on or about the Premises. Tenant shall not
change the use of the Premises in any way that will result in a conflict with
any other lease of premises in the Building. No loudspeakers or any other
similar device, system or apparatus which can be heard or experienced outside
the Premises shall, without the prior written approval of Landlord, be used in
or at the Premises. Tenant shall not use the Premises for the operation of a
store or otherwise for the sale of merchandise to the public. In no event shall
Tenant conduct or permit to be conducted in or from the Premises any sale by
auction, or any fire, distress, going-out-of-business or bankruptcy sale.
Tenant shall not place or install in or about the Premises or the Building any
vending machines (other than for use by Tenant's employees), newspaper racks or
other coin-operated or similar devices, nor shall Tenant place or permit
portable signs or any other objects or devices in or about the Premises or the
Building. Tenant shall not in any manner solicit or authorize any solicitation
in any portion of the Common Area. Tenant agrees immediately upon the discovery
of any unlawful, illegal, disreputable or extra hazardous use, to take all
necessary steps, legal and equitable, to compel the discontinuance of such use
and to oust and remove any subtenants, occupants or other persons guilty of such
unlawful, illegal, disreputable, or extra hazardous use. Tenant shall indemnify,
defend and save Landlord harmless against and from all costs, expenses,
liabilities, losses, damages, injunctions, suits, fines, penalties, claims and
demands, including reasonable legal fees and costs, arising out of, by reason
of, or on account of, any violation of or default in the covenants of this
paragraph. The provisions of this paragraph are for the benefit of Landlord
only and are not nor shall they be construed to be for the benefit of any tenant
or occupant of the Building.
8. Compliance with Law
-------------------
Tenant shall not use the Premises or do or permit anything to be done in or
about the Premises which will in any way conflict with any law, statute,
ordinance or governmental rule, regulation, or requirement now in force or which
may hereafter be enacted or promulgated. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense,
shall promptly comply with all laws, statutes, ordinances and governmental
rules, regulations or requirements now in force or which may hereafter be in
force and with the requirements of any board or fire underwriters or other
similar body now or hereafter constituted pertaining to the use and occupancy of
the Premises and the Building, and shall obtain all necessary permits and
approvals pertaining to the conduct of Tenant's business and its use and
occupancy of the Premises. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction
or the admission of Tenant in an action against Tenant (whether Landlord be a
party thereto or not) that Tenant has violated any law, statute, ordinance or
governmental rule, regulation or requirement shall be conclusive of that fact as
between Landlord and Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be
required by this paragraph to make any structural alterations, structural
6
repairs or structural additions to the Building in order to comply with laws,
ordinances, orders, rules, regulations or requirements unless such alterations,
changes, repairs or additions are made necessary by an act or omission of, or
work performed by, Tenant or its agents, employees, invitees, licensees or
contractors or by Tenant's particular use of the Premises.
Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply with all Federal, State
or local laws from time to time in effect ("Hazardous Materials Laws")
concerning the management, use, generation, storage, transportation, presence,
discharge or disposal of hazardous, toxic, radioactive or carcinogenic
materials, substances or wastes ("Hazardous Materials"). Except for materials
normally and customarily used in offices, such as cleaning supplies and the like
kept in small quantities and safely stored, neither Tenant nor its agents,
employees, contractors, sublessees, assignees or invitees shall use, handle,
store, transport, release or dispose of any Hazardous Materials anywhere in, on,
under or about the Premises or the Building. Tenant shall cause any and all
Hazardous Materials brought onto, used, generated, stored or discharged in the
Premises to be removed from the Premises and transported for disposal in
accordance with applicable Hazardous Materials Laws. Landlord shall have the
right to enter the Premises from time to time to conduct tests, inspections and
surveys concerning Hazardous Materials and to monitor Tenant's compliance with
its obligations concerning Hazardous Materials and Hazard Materials Laws.
Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord in writing of any voluntary clean-up or
removal action instituted or proposed by Tenant, any enforcement, clean-up,
removal or other governmental or regulatory action instituted or threatened, or
any claim made or threatened by any person against Tenant, the Premises, or the
Building relating to Hazardous Materials or Hazardous Materials Laws. Tenant
shall also supply to Landlord as promptly as possible, and in any event within
five (5) business days after Tenant receives or sends same, copies of all
claims, reports, complaints, notices, warnings or asserted violations relating
in any way to the Premises or Tenant's use thereof and concerning Hazardous
Materials or Hazardous Materials Laws. Tenant shall not negotiate or enter into
any settlement agreement, consent decree or other compromise with respect to
Hazardous Materials or Hazardous Materials Laws affecting the Premises except
after giving Landlord prior written notice and a full and fair opportunity to
appear, intervene or otherwise assert and protect Landlord's rights and
interests.
Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from any claims,
causes of action, liabilities, losses, damages, injunctions, suits, fines,
penalties, costs or expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) caused or
alleged to have been caused by the presence of Hazardous Materials in or about
the Premises, including, without limitation, any personal injury, death,
property damage, decrease in value of the Premises or Building, caused or
alleged to have been caused by the use, storage, generation, presence or release
of Hazardous Materials, whether such claims, causes of action or liabilities are
first asserted during the Term or thereafter, and including without limitation,
claims made against Landlord with respect to personal injury, death or property
damage sustained by third parties caused or alleged to have been caused by the
use, storage, generation, presence or release of Hazardous Materials in
violation of Tenant's obligations under this Lease.
Landlord represents that the Premises will, upon delivery to Tenant, be
constructed in compliance with all Hazardous Materials Laws applicable as of the
date of delivery, and that Landlord has no actual knowledge that the Premises
will, upon delivery of possession thereof to Tenant, contain any Hazardous
Materials that will adversely affect Tenant's use of the Premises for the
purpose contemplated by this Lease. Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold
Tenant harmless from any claims, causes of action, liabilities, costs or
expenses arising from or in connection with personal injury or death or property
damage or clean-up costs arising by reason of Landlord's breach of the foregoing
representation or by reason of any release, disposal, storage or use of any
Hazardous Materials in, on or about the Building or the Premises by Landlord,
its employees, agents or contractors after the Commencement Date in violation of
applicable Hazardous Materials Laws.
9. Certificates of Occupancy
-------------------------
Tenant shall not at any time use or occupy the Premises in violation of the
certificates of occupancy or of any present or future governmental orders or
directives issued for the Building. In the event that any department of the City
or County in which the Building is located, or of the State of California, shall
hereafter at any time contend or declare that the Premises are used for a
purpose which is in violation of such certificate or certificates of occupancy,
Tenant shall, upon five (5) days notice from Landlord or any governmental
agency, immediately discontinue such use of the Premises. Failure by Tenant to
discontinue such use after such notice shall be considered a default under this
Lease and Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease immediately, and
in addition thereto shall have right to exercise any and all rights and
privileges and remedies given to Landlord pursuant to the provisions of
paragraph 28 hereof. The statement in this Lease of the nature of the business
to be conducted by Tenant in the Premises shall not be deemed or construed to
constitute a representation or guaranty by Landlord that such business is lawful
or permissible or will continue to be lawful or permissible under any
certificate of occupancy issued for the Building, or otherwise permitted by law;
provided, however, Landlord represents to Tenant that Tenant's use of the
Premises for general office purposes in accordance with the terms and conditions
of this Lease is permissible pursuant to the certificate of occupancy for the
Building.
7
10.1 Initial Improvements and Alterations
------------------------------------
a. Landlord shall construct and install, at Landlord's expense, initial
improvements in the Premises generally as shown in the working drawings and
specifications described in the list attached hereto as Exhibit C (the "Drawings
and Specifications"). Landlord shall construct such initial improvements
substantially in accordance with the Drawings and Specifications, according to
standard Building procedures and quality, and in compliance with all
governmental laws, statutes, ordinances, rules or regulations applicable to the
work to be done pursuant to the Drawings and Specifications. In no event shall
Landlord be responsible to supply or install, or pay or reimburse Tenant for the
cost of, any trade fixtures, furniture or furnishings, any computer, data,
telephone or communications systems or equipment (or related cabling or wiring,
except that Landlord shall provide ring and string for Tenant's telephone and
data conduit as specified in the Drawings and Specifications), any other
business equipment or systems of Tenant, or any decorations or other personal
property.
b. Tenant shall pay or reimburse to Landlord the amount of any costs and
expenses incurred by Landlord for increases in prices and costs resulting from
alterations, additions or other changes made at Tenant's request to the Drawings
and Specifications attached to this Lease, or resulting from Tenant Delays (as
defined below). Landlord may, at its option, require that Tenant advance to
Landlord, as a condition to Landlord's obligation to commence or continue with
the initial improvements, the anticipated amount of any such increases. At
Tenant's request made in connection with a request for a change to the Drawings
and Specifications, Landlord shall advise Tenant of the costs and expenses to be
incurred for the change.
c. In no event shall Landlord be responsible for any delay occurring by
reason of any one or more of the following (a "Tenant Delay"): any delay
attributable to any design or materials changes requested by Tenant to the
Drawings and Specifications; any delay in commencement or completion of the
initial improvements attributable to Tenant's failure to make any payment due to
Landlord as herein required in respect of the increased cost of the initial
improvements; or any delay resulting from a failure of Tenant or Tenant's
Representative to give clear and timely advice or direction to Landlord
regarding the initial improvements. In the event that a Tenant Delay shall
delay the date of the substantial completion of the Premises, the Term of this
Lease and the obligation of Tenant to commence to pay rentals and charges
hereunder shall commence as of the date that the Premises could have been
substantially completed but for such Tenant Delay. Landlord shall give Tenant
written advice by mail or facsimile (with formal written notice pursuant to
paragraph 43 not being required) of any circumstances that, if not remedied,
will constitute a Tenant Delay. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this paragraph, such circumstances shall become a Tenant Delay for purposes of
this Lease only if not cured by Tenant within two business days after such
advice is received by Tenant.
d. Prior to commencement of the Term and occupancy of the Premises,
Tenant shall inspect the improvements installed by Landlord, and Tenant shall
execute and deliver to Landlord a Certificate of Acceptance of Premises
substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto and thereupon note discrepancies,
if any.
e. Tenant shall designate in writing a single person ("Tenant's
Representative"), as Tenant's authorized representative for all matters relating
to the initial improvements and any and all other work done in connection with
Tenant's occupancy of and move into the Premises. Landlord may deal exclusively
with Tenant's Representative on such matters, and Landlord shall not be required
to give advice to or take direction from any other person whatsoever. Prior to
substantial completion of the Premises, Landlord will use reasonable efforts to
grant Tenant access to the Premises for the installation by Tenant of cabling,
wiring and equipment for its telephone, data and other communications and office
systems, upon and subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in this
Lease. Landlord will cooperate with Tenant in connection with such work, which
shall be done at such time or within such period as Landlord may reasonably
specify.
10.2 Alterations by Tenant
---------------------
Tenant shall not make or suffer to be made any alterations, additions or
improvements to or of the Premises or any part thereof, except as expressly
provided in this paragraph 10.2, whether as part of the initial improvements to
the Premises or thereafter.
Tenant may cause such alterations, additions or improvements to be made
only upon the following conditions:
a. By a contractor reasonably approved in writing by Landlord in advance
(it being understood that Landlord shall have the right to designate the general
contractor for the construction of any and all of the initial improvements to
the Premises in accordance paragraph 10.1);
b. Tenant submits plans, specifications and cost estimates of such work
prepared by a licensed architect in accordance with existing applicable federal,
state or local laws, ordinances and regulations to Landlord for Landlord's
approval which Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold. It shall,
8
however, be deemed reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to any
alterations, additions or improvements which would (i) affect the structure of
the Building or materially increase the load upon or otherwise adversely affect
the electrical, HVAC or other systems of the Building, (ii) affect signage or
any elevator lobby or be visible from the exterior of the Building, (iii) create
or add signage on the entry doors to the Premises, or (iv) result in a use of
the Premises for other than general office purposes. Default by Tenant in the
payment of any sums agreed to be paid by Tenant for or in connection with
alterations, additions, or improvements to the Premises shall entitle Landlord
to all the same remedies as for nonpayment of Rent hereunder. Landlord will,
from time to time during the Term at Tenant's request, make changes in the name
of Tenant as shown on the Building standard identification signage for the
Premises, at Tenant's expense. Any alterations, additions or improvements to or
of the Premises including, without limitation, the initial improvements and
alterations, shall at once become the property of Landlord. Movable furniture,
equipment and trade fixtures shall remain the property of Tenant. Landlord may
impose, as a condition of its consent to any alterations, additions or
improvements, such requirements as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem
advisable or desirable, including, but not limited to, the requirement that
Tenant will be responsible, at Tenant's expense, for the removal of any such
items upon the expiration or any earlier termination of this Lease; provided
that Landlord shall, at Tenant's written request made at the time of requesting
consent to alterations, advise Tenant whether removal thereof at the end of the
Term is required. If Landlord so elects, Tenant shall restore the Premises to
the condition of same prior to the making of such alterations, additions or
improvements which are so required to be removed at the termination of this
Lease, said work of removal and restoration to be performed, at Landlord's sole
election, either (i) by Tenant, at Tenant's cost and expense, or (ii) by
Landlord at the expense of Tenant and, in the latter election, Tenant shall pay
to Landlord, promptly upon Landlord's demand, the amount of Landlord's cost of
such removal and restoration. In the event that as a result of any such
alterations, additions or improvements, it shall be necessary for Landlord to
make other improvements (including, but not limited to, upgrading of
installations of life safety systems or compliance with standards for
handicapped persons) in the Building, whether within or without the Premises,
then Tenant agrees to pay the cost of such other improvements if they are a
condition of the building permit or were otherwise made known by Landlord to
Tenant prior to the construction by Tenant;
c. Upon request, Tenant shall procure and deliver to Landlord evidence of
compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations and
requirements for permits and approvals;
d. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord evidence that Tenant has procured or
caused procurement of (i) worker's compensation insurance covering all persons
employed in connection with the work for whom death or bodily injury claims
could be asserted against Landlord or the Premises, (ii) a Completion Bond equal
to 125% of the cost of said work to be done by Tenant, except that such bonds
shall not be required in the case of any work done by Tenant at an aggregate
cost of less than $10,000.00, and (iii) the policies of insurance required to be
obtained by Tenant under paragraph 16 of this Lease. Tenant or its contractor
shall pay all premiums required to maintain the insurance hereinabove described
at all times during the performance of the work and shall, prior to commencing
any work, deliver to Landlord copies of insurance certificates for the policies
required. Such certificates shall be on Form 2010 or its equivalent and shall
include an additional named insured endorsement in favor of Landlord and a
provision that in the event of cancellation, non-renewal or change in coverage,
the insurance carrier will send Landlord a notice thereof at least thirty (30)
days preceding the effective date of cancellation, non-renewal or change in
coverage;
e. Tenant shall give Landlord fifteen (15) days advance written notice of
Tenant's intention to commence work or delivery of building materials. The
notice shall specify the nature of the work. Landlord shall have the right to
post and maintain on the Premises any notices of non-responsibility provided for
under applicable law, and to enter the Premises upon twenty-four (24) hour
notice, except in the case of emergency, where no notice shall be required, and
inspect the construction at all reasonable times;
f. If Tenant installs any electrical equipment, that overloads the lines
of the Premises or the Building, Landlord may require Tenant to make whatever
changes to the lines as may be necessary to render same in good order and
repair, and in compliance with all insurance requirements and applicable legal
requirements;
g. Once begun, Tenant shall diligently prosecute to completion all work
in a good and workmanlike manner, in compliance with the plans and
specifications approved by Landlord and with all applicable laws, ordinances,
rules, regulations and requirements;
h. Within thirty (30) days after completion of the work, Tenant shall
record a notice of completion; and
i. On completion of any work, Tenant shall supply Landlord with the final
plans obtained by Tenant, including "as built" drawings, if obtained, which
shall accurately reflect all such work as completed.
9
11. Repair
------
Upon completion of a walk-through inspection with Landlord at the
commencement of the Term, Tenant acknowledges that Tenant has thoroughly
inspected and accepts the Premises subject to all applicable laws, ordinances
and regulations and agrees that the Premises are in good, sanitary order,
condition and repair, except for any item on the punch list prepared following
substantial completion of the Improvements, if any are to be constructed under
paragraph 10.1 hereof, by the contractor at that time, and subject to Landlord's
obligation to promptly correct any deficiencies in the work required pursuant to
Section 10.1 which Tenant may note during such inspection, and further subject
to the obligation of Landlord to remedy latent defects in the work done pursuant
to the Drawings and Specifications of which Tenant gives Landlord written notice
within one year following commencement of the Term. Tenant, at Tenant's sole
cost and expense, agrees to keep the Premises and every part thereof (including
its own trade fixtures and personal property) in good condition and repair,
except that Landlord shall be responsible to maintain and repair the structure
of the Building, the Common Areas, the electrical and other utility systems of
the Building up to the point of connection with the systems exclusively serving
the Premises, and the restrooms of the Demised Premises. Tenant hereby waives
all rights to make repairs at the expense of Landlord as provided by law,
statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect, or to offset the cost thereof
against Rent. It is specifically understood and agreed that Landlord has no
obligation and has made no promises to alter, remodel, improve, decorate and
paint the Premises or any part thereof and, except as expressly set forth in the
Drawings and Specifications and in this paragraph, no representations respecting
the condition of the Premises have been made by Landlord to Tenant. If, in an
emergency, it shall become necessary to make promptly any repairs or
replacements required to be made by Tenant, Landlord may, without notice, enter
the Premises and proceed forthwith to have the repairs or replacements made and
pay the cost thereof. Within thirty (30) days after Landlord renders a ▇▇▇▇
therefor, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of making the repairs.
12. Abandonment
-----------
Tenant shall not abandon the Premises at any time during the Term and, if
Tenant does abandon or surrender the Premises, or be dispossessed by process of
law, or otherwise, any personal property belonging to Tenant and left on the
Premises shall be deemed to be abandoned at the option of Landlord, except such
property as may be security for a debt to Landlord.
13. Liens
-----
Tenant agrees to keep the Premises, and every part thereof, at all times
during the Term, free and clear of mechanics' liens and other liens for labor,
services, supplies, equipment or material, furnished to Tenant or the Premises
and that it will at all times fully and promptly pay and discharge and wholly
protect and save harmless, by bond or otherwise, Landlord, and all and every
part of the estate, right, title and interest of Landlord in and to all and
every part of the Premises, against any and all such demands or claims which may
or could ripen into such liens or claims therefor. A breach by Tenant of any of
the foregoing covenants shall entitle Landlord to all the same remedies as for
non-payment of Rent hereunder.
14. Assignment and Subletting
-------------------------
a. In entering into this Lease for the Term and on the provisions of
this Lease, Landlord has relied upon Tenant's business reputation and
experience. Accordingly, Tenant may not assign this Lease or sublet all or any
portion of the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, as more particularly described
below. Should Tenant assign this Lease or sublet all or a portion of the
Premises, Tenant will remain primarily liable, and not merely as a surety, for
payment of the Rent and performance of the other lease terms, conditions,
covenants and duties of this Lease. Tenant shall not sublet all or any portion
of the Premises for any period of time extending beyond the period of this Lease
or any renewal thereof. If Landlord declines to consent to any proposed
assignment or sublease, this Lease shall remain unmodified and in full force and
effect as if no request for assignment or subletting had been made by Tenant,
subject to the termination rights of Landlord set forth below. Tenant shall not,
in any event, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise grant a
security interest in this Lease or any rights of Tenant hereunder.
b. Following a request from Tenant for consent to any assignment or
sublease, Landlord may elect in its sole discretion to terminate this Lease in
its entirety, in the event of an assignment or a sublease of the entire
Premises, or to terminate this Lease with respect to the portion of the Premises
proposed to be subleased, in the event of a sublease of less than all of the
Premises, in either case by giving Tenant written notice within thirty (30) days
after receipt from Tenant of its written request for Landlord's consent.
Following any such termination, Landlord may, at its option, enter into a direct
lease with the proposed subtenant or assignee. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Landlord shall not have the termination right set forth in this paragraph 14(b)
in respect of an assignment to a "Permitted Transferee" as defined in paragraph
14(g).
10
c. Landlord and Tenant agree that it shall be deemed to be reasonable
under this Lease and under any applicable law for Landlord to withhold consent
to any proposed assignment or sublease where one or more of the following apply,
without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent:
(i) In Landlord's reasonable judgment, the use of the Premises by
the proposed assignee or subtenant (the "Transferee") would not be comparable to
the types of use by other tenants in the Building, would entail any alterations
which would lessen the value of the leasehold improvements in the Premises,
would result in more than a reasonable number of occupants per floor, or would
require substantially increased services by Landlord or would alter the tenant
mix in the Building so as to adversely affect the economic viability,
marketability or reputation of the Building (Tenant acknowledging that
Landlord's leasing policy for the Building is based, in material part, on
Landlord's determination of a successful mix of tenant uses, density of use of
space by and methods of operation of tenants);
(ii) The Transferee is either a governmental agency or
instrumentality thereof (unless similar governmental tenants are then in
occupancy in the Building);
(iii) The Transferee's intended use of the Premises (a) is
inconsistent with the use of the Premises permitted pursuant to this Lease or
(b) would violate any applicable laws, ordinances, codes or governmental
regulations or requirements;
(iv) In Landlord's reasonable judgment, the financial worth of the
Transferee does not meet the credit standards applied by Landlord for other
tenants under leases with comparable terms, or the character, reputation, or
business of the proposed assignee or sublessee is not consistent with the
quality of the other tenancies in the Building;
(v) The proposed assignment or sublease would cause Landlord to be
in violation of another lease or agreement to which Landlord is a party, or
would give an occupant of the Building a right to cancel its lease;
(vi) Either the proposed Transferee, or any person or entity which
directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control
with, the proposed Transferee, (a) occupies space in the Building at the time of
the request for consent and Landlord has available for lease in the Building
space comparable to that which the Transferee may lease from Tenant, or (b) is
negotiating with Landlord to lease space in the Building at such time;
(vii) The Transferee does not intend to occupy the entire Premises
and conduct its business therefrom for a substantial portion of the term of the
assignment or sublease;
(viii) Landlord has experienced previous defaults by, or is in
litigation with, the Transferee;
(ix) The proposed sublease or assignment fails to include all of the
terms and provisions required to be included therein pursuant to this Article
14; or
(x) At the time consent is requested or at any time prior to the
granting of consent, Tenant is in default under this Lease or would be in
default under this Lease but for the pendency of any applicable cure period.
d. In the case of a sublease all or a portion of the Premises, the
permitted subtenant shall not be permitted to further assign or sublease its
interest in the Premises, other than to assign its entire interest in the
sublease with the prior written consent of Landlord as herein provided, and each
proposed sublease shall contain appropriate restrictions satisfactory to
Landlord in furtherance of the foregoing. Any mortgage, pledge, hypothecation,
encumbrance or other grant of a security interest in this Lease or any rights of
Tenant hereunder, or any assignment or subletting, occupation or use of this
Lease or the Premises without the consent of Landlord as aforesaid, shall be
void and, at the option of Landlord, constitute a default entitling Landlord to
terminate this Lease and give rise to all other remedies available to Landlord
for breach of this Lease. For purposes of this paragraph 14, the following
events shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease or a sublease, as
appropriate: (i) the issuance of equity interests in Tenant or any subtenant
(whether stock or partnership interests or otherwise) to any person or group of
persons in a single transaction or a series of related or unrelated
transactions, such that, following such issuance, such person or group shall
have control of Tenant or such subtenant; or (ii) a transfer of control of
Tenant or of any subtenant in a single transaction, or a series of related or
unrelated transactions (including, without limitation, by consolidation, merger
or reorganization), except that the transfer of the outstanding capital stock of
any corporate Tenant or subtenant (by persons or parties other than "insiders"
within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) through
the "over-the-counter" market or any recognized national or international
securities exchange shall not be included in the determination of whether
control has been transferred. "Control" shall mean ownership of 50% or more of
all of the voting stock of such corporation or 50% or more of the legal and
equitable interest or voting rights or control in any other business entity. If
this Lease is assigned, whether or not in violation of the
11
terms of this Lease, Landlord may collect rent from the assignee. If the
Premises or any part thereof is sublet or is used or occupied by anybody other
than Tenant, Landlord may, after default by Tenant, collect rent from such
subtenant or occupant. In either event, Landlord may apply the next amount
collected to the rents herein reserved. The consent by Landlord to an
assignment, transfer, encumbering or subletting pursuant to any provision of
this Lease shall not relieve Tenant or any assignee or subtenant from obtaining
the express prior written consent of Landlord to any other or further
assignment, transfer, encumbering or subletting. Neither any assignment of this
Lease or any interest created hereby or any interest of Tenant in any sublease,
nor any subletting, occupancy or use of the Premises or any part thereof by any
person other than Tenant, nor any collection of rent by Landlord from any person
other than Tenant, nor any application of any such rent as provided in this
subparagraph (a) shall be deemed a waiver of any of the provisions of this
subparagraph, or (b) relieve, impair, release or discharge Tenant of its
obligation fully to perform the terms of this Lease on Tenant's part to be
performed, and Tenant shall remain fully and primarily liable hereunder.
e. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord the amount of Landlord's cost of
processing every proposed subletting or assignment (including, without
limitation, the costs of attorneys' and other professional fees and
administrative, accounting and clerical time of Landlord) in an amount not to
exceed $1,000.00 per proposed assignment or sublease, and the amount of all
direct expenses incurred by Landlord arising from any assignee or sublessee
taking occupancy (including, without limitation, expenses associated with
signage, freight elevator operation for moving furnishings and trade fixtures,
security service, janitorial and cleaning service and rubbish removal service).
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord shall have no
obligation to process any request for such consent prior to Landlord's receipt
of payment by Tenant of the amount of Landlord's estimate of the processing
costs and expenses and all other direct and indirect costs and expenses of
Landlord and its agents arising from such proposed transaction.
f. In the event of (i) any permitted subletting or assignment at a
greater rental rate than the Rent payable by Tenant hereunder or (ii) any
permitted subletting or assignment providing for payment of any consideration
(including, without limitation, "key money" and the like, and payment for
leasehold improvements) by the sublessee or assignee to Tenant, the amount of
all such sublease rental and/or consideration which is in excess of the Rent
payable by Tenant hereunder shall be paid to Landlord. Tenant shall be entitled
to offset against any such excess rentals or consideration received by Tenant
the reasonable out-of-pocket brokerage commissions, tenant improvement costs or
allowances and legal fees incurred in connection with the transfer, amortized
over the term of the transferee's occupancy of the Premises. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in respect of an assignment to a "Permitted Transferee" as defined in
paragraph 14(g), the amount payable to Landlord pursuant to this paragraph 14(f)
shall not exceed the amount allocated to this Lease by the parties to such
transaction, either in the agreements between them regarding the transaction or
in their tax or financial filings or reports.
g. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph
14, Tenant shall have the right upon the terms set forth in this subparagraph to
do any one or more of the following: (i) to assign the Lease or sublease all or
a portion of the Premises to an entity which controls, is controlled by, or is
under common control with, Tenant; (ii) to assign the Lease or sublease all or a
portion of the Premises to an entity which merges or consolidates with Tenant;
(iii) to assign the Lease or sublease all or a portion of the Premises to an
entity which acquires all or substantially of the assets of the business
operated from the Premises; or (iv) to sell or permit the sale of a controlling
interest in the stock of the Daily Journal Corporation or such other single
corporation or entity as may succeed to the assets and businesses held and
operated by the Daily Journal Corporation as of the date of this Lease (with the
transferee under any such assignment, sublease or sale being referred to herein
as a "Permitted Transferee"). Landlord's consent shall not be required but
Tenant shall give Landlord prior written notice of the transfer and shall
deliver to Landlord, within five (5) days following the effective date of the
transaction, a duly executed assignment and assumption agreement in form
reasonably acceptable to Landlord, in the case of an assignment, or a true and
correct copy of any sublease. No assignment or sublease described in this
subparagraph (g) shall affect the terms and conditions of this Lease or relieve
Tenant from any liability under this Lease. For purposes of this subparagraph,
the term "control" shall mean the ownership, directly or indirectly, of at least
fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of, or possession of the right to
vote, in the ordinary direction of its affairs, at least fifty percent (50%) of
the voting interest in a person or entity.
15. Indemnification
---------------
a. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant and Tenant hereby waives all
claims against Landlord for any loss, cost, damage, injury, illness or death
suffered by any person or damage to any property in or about the Premises or the
real property of which the Premises are a part by or from any cause whatsoever
and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, whether caused by water
leakage of any character from the roof, walls, basement or other portion of the
Premises of said real property or caused by gas, fire, electricity or any cause
whatsoever, in, on or about the Premises or said real property or any part
thereof.
b. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord, the respective
individuals or partners therein, and the respective shareholders thereof (as
applicable), and all of Landlord's agents, officers,
12
directors and employees (hereinafter collectively called the "Indemnitees")
harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, liability, claim, damage and
expense including, without limitation, penalties, fines and attorneys' fees and
costs, incurred in connection with or arising from any default by Tenant
hereunder or from any loss, cost, damage, injury, illness or death suffered by
any person or damage to any property or from any other cause whatsoever: (i)
occurring in, on or about the Premises or any part thereof arising at any time
and from any cause whatsoever or (ii) arising at any time and occurring in, on
or about any part of the Building, or the land upon which the Building is
situated (together, the "Property") other than the Premises (including, without
limitation, any facilities of the Property, such as elevators, stairways,
passageways, hallways, plaza areas or adjacent sidewalks the use of which Tenant
may have in common with other tenants of the Building), to the extent such
injury, illness, death or damage shall be caused by any intentional misconduct,
neglect or default or omission of any duty with respect to the same by Tenant or
its agents or employees. The provisions of this paragraph 15(b) shall survive
the termination of this Lease with respect to any claim, cost, expense,
liability, injury, illness, death or damage occurring prior to such termination.
In case any action or proceeding be brought against any of the Indemnitees by
reason of any such matter, Tenant upon notice from Landlord covenants to resist
and defend such action or proceeding by counsel reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord. Tenant, as a material part of the consideration to Landlord for this
Lease, hereby assumes all risks of damage to property (to whomever belonging)
in, upon or about the Premises from any source, and Tenant hereby waives all
claims in respect thereof against the Indemnitees. Notwithstanding any contrary
provision of this paragraph 15, the waivers set forth in this paragraph 15 and
Tenant's indemnification obligations set forth in this paragraph 15(b) shall not
be applicable to any matters occurring outside of the Premises and arising from
the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its employees or agents.
Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold Tenant, its agents, officers,
directors, employees and affiliates harmless from and against any and all loss,
cost, liability, claim, damage and expense, including, without limitation,
penalties, fines and attorneys' fees and costs, incurred either in connection
with matters occurring within the Premises and arising from the active
negligence or wilful misconduct of Landlord or in connection with matters
occurring outside of the Premises and arising from the active or passive
negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its employees or agents.
16. Insurance
---------
a. Tenant agrees to keep in force during the Term, at Tenant's expense,
comprehensive general liability insurance, including contractual liability
insurance, with a minimum combined single limit of liability of One Million
Dollars and No/100 ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence for injuries to or death of
persons and damage to property occurring in or about the Premises and its
appurtenances. Said policy shall name Landlord and any other parties designated
by Landlord as additional insureds and the policy shall contain cross liability
endorsements; shall insure Tenant's indemnification obligations under this
Lease; shall be issued by an insurance company licensed to do business in the
State of California with a Best Rating of not less than "A" with Best Financial
size Class VII or better and approved by Landlord, which approval Landlord shall
not unreasonably withhold; shall specifically include the liability assumed by
Tenant under this Lease (provided, however, that such contractual liability
coverage shall not be deemed to satisfy Tenant's indemnity obligations under
this Lease); shall provide that said insurance shall not be cancelled or
coverage thereof changed unless thirty (30) days written notice from the insurer
to Landlord is given first. Landlord reserves the right to increase the
foregoing amount of insurance from time to time as Landlord's insurance broker
determines is required to adequately protect Landlord and the other parties
designated by Landlord from the matters insured against, provided that such
increase shall be consistent with industry standards for comparable buildings in
San Francisco.
b. Said policy or a certificate thereof on Form CG2010 or its equivalent
shall be delivered to Landlord by Tenant upon commencement of the Term, and
thereafter there shall be delivered to Landlord by Tenant renewal policies or
certificates at least thirty (30) days in advance of the expiration dates of
expiring policies. In the event Tenant shall fail to procure such insurance, or
to deliver such policies or certificates, Landlord may, at its option, but
without obligation to do so, procure the same for the account of Tenant, and the
cost thereof shall be paid to Landlord by Tenant upon demand. Landlord shall
give Tenant five (5) business days prior written notice of intention to procure
such insurance, except that notice shall not be required if coverage has lapsed
or threatens to lapse.
c. Tenant agrees additionally to keep in force during the entire Term, at
Tenant's expense, Property Insurance, including Special Form coverage on any and
all improvements and alterations installed in the Premises by or for Tenant and
all Tenant's furnishings and equipment, and personal property in the Premises,
which insurance shall be in an amount of not less than full replacement value
naming Landlord as additional insured and a loss payee on improvements to the
Premises. Landlord agrees to use the proceeds relating to Premises improvements
from any such policy to replace personal property and restore improvements or
alterations.
d. Tenant shall, throughout the Term, procure and keep in effect Workers'
Compensation Insurance as required by law.
e. Landlord shall keep in force during the Term all-risk property
insurance covering the structure and common areas of the Building and the
interior leasehold improvements existing in the
13
Premises upon delivery of possession thereof to Tenant at Term commencement, and
commercial general liability insurance coverage, in such amounts and with such
coverages as Landlord may from time to time determine to be appropriate.
17. Mutual Waiver of Subrogation
----------------------------
Landlord waives any and all rights of recovery against Tenant for or
arising out of damage to or destruction of the Building, or Premises, from
causes then included under standard fire and extended coverage insurance
policies or endorsements, whether or not such damage or destruction shall have
been caused by the negligence of Tenant, its agents, servants, employees,
contractors, visitors or licensees, but only to the extent that Landlord's
insurance policies then in force permit such waiver and only to the extent of
actual recovery from the insurance company. Tenant also waives any and all
rights of recovery against Landlord for or arising out of damage to or
destruction of any property of Tenant, from causes then included under standard
fire and extended coverage insurance policies or endorsements, whether or not
caused by the negligence of Landlord, its agents, servants, employees,
contractors, visitors or licensees, but only to the extent that Tenant's
insurance policies then in force permit such waiver and only to the extent of
actual recovery from the insurance company. Landlord and Tenant represent that
their present insurance policies now in force permit such waiver.
If, at any time during the Term, either party shall give no less than
fifteen (15) days prior notice to the other certifying that any insurance
carrier which shall have issued any such policy covering any of the property
above mentioned shall refuse to consent to the aforesaid waiver of subrogation,
or such carrier shall revoke a consent previously given or shall cancel or
threaten to cancel any policy previously issued and then in force and effect,
because of such waiver of subrogation, then, in any of such events, the waiver
in this paragraph shall thereupon be of no further force or effect as to the
loss, damage or destruction covered by such policy; provided, however, that if
at any time thereafter such consent shall be obtained therefor, the waiver
hereinabove provided for shall again become effective.
18. Services and Utilities
----------------------
a. Landlord shall furnish to the Premises, subject to the Rules and
Regulations of the Building and to federal, state and local codes and directives
of governmental agencies or the public utility company furnishing the service,
the following: (i) during the period from 8:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. on business
days Monday through Friday, excepting federal and state holidays recognized in
comparable buildings in San Francisco, heat and air conditioning required in
Landlord's judgment for the comfortable use and occupancy of the Premises; (ii)
electricity, along with water for rest room, lunch room and drinking purposes;
(iii) elevator service for use in common by all tenants by nonattended automatic
elevators for general pedestrian usage; and (iv) janitorial services comprised
of the following: emptying and removing general office refuse; vacuuming
carpeted floors, with minor spot cleaning; dust mopping and cleaning resilient
and composition floors; dusting desks and office furniture; spot cleaning doors,
windows and glass partitions; restocking restroom supplies; washing and
sanitizing toilets, urinals and sinks; and mopping restroom floors.
b. Landlord shall not be liable for any loss or damage suffered by Tenant
or others, by reason of Landlord's failure to furnish any of the services or
utilities referred to in paragraph 18(a) when such failure is caused by Acts of
God, accidents, breakage, repairs, strikes, lockouts or other labor disputes,
the making of repairs, alterations or improvements to the Premises or the
Building, the inability to obtain an adequate supply of fuel, water,
electricity, labor or other supplies or any other condition beyond Landlord's
reasonable control including, without limitation, any governmental energy
conservation program, and any such failure shall not constitute or be construed
as a constructive or other eviction of Tenant. Landlord shall not be liable
under any circumstances for loss of business or injury: to property however
occurring, through or in connection with or incidental to failure to furnish any
of the services or utilities referred to in paragraph 18(a). In the event any
governmental entity promulgates or revises any statute, ordinance or building,
fire or other code, or establishes mandatory or voluntary controls or guidelines
applicable to the Property or the Premises or any part thereof or appurtenances
thereto, relating to the use or conservation of energy, water, gas, light or
electricity, or the reduction of automobile or other emissions, or the provision
of any other utility or service provided with respect to this Lease, or in the
event Landlord is required or elects to make alterations to the Building or any
other party of the Property in order to comply with such mandatory or voluntary
controls or guidelines, or make such alterations to the Building or any other
part of said property related thereto, such compliance and the making of such
alterations shall in no event entitle Tenant to any damages, relieve Tenant of
the obligation to pay the full monthly Rent reserved hereunder, or constitute or
be construed as a constructive or other eviction of Tenant. Landlord shall not
be obligated to provide or maintain any security patrol or security system.
Should Landlord elect to provide such patrol or system, Landlord shall not be
responsible for the quality of any such patrol or system which may be provided
hereunder, or for damage or injury to Tenant, its employees, invitees or others
due to failure, action or inaction of such patrol or system. If utilities
provided by Landlord are interrupted for a period of more than three consecutive
days and such interruption is due to Landlord's fault or the failure of
equipment under Landlord's control, and if the Premises are thereby rendered
untenantable, then during the period of utility interruption, the rentals and
charges payable hereunder shall be abated.
14
c. Without the prior written consent of Landlord, which Landlord will not
unreasonably withhold, Tenant will not use any equipment in the Premises
(including, without limitation, air conditioning equipment, condenser pumps and
condenser water, electronic data processing machines, punch card machines, CRT
(cathode ray tubes) and related equipment, supplementary heating equipment,
coffee makers, microwave ovens, fans or copy machines) if and to the extent the
same will cause the amount of electricity, water, heating, air conditioning or
ventilation furnished to the Premises to exceed the amount thereof required for
use of the Premises for general office purposes or to exceed any limits
established in paragraph 18(a), or connect the electrical system (except through
existing outlets in the Premises) or water pipes any equipment for the purpose
of using electricity or water. Landlord hereby consents to the use by Tenant at
the Premises of the equipment described in the Drawings and Specifications, and
Landlord agrees that use of such equipment shall not constitute a use of
electricity in excess of the limits established in paragraph 18(a) or this
paragraph 18(c). With regard to any and all supplemental HVAC equipment
existing in the Premises upon delivery of possession to Tenant, and as a
condition to any approval of any equipment subsequently installed at Tenant's
expense, Tenant shall arrange for direct service from a local utility company or
service provider for any electricity or other service necessary for an such
equipment, and Tenant shall pay directly for the cost of operation of such
service and equipment.
d. Tenant shall pay for all services and utilities not required to be
furnished by Landlord pursuant to paragraph 18(a). If Tenant shall require
electricity, water, heat, security, air conditioning, elevator, janitorial or
any other service in excess of that required to be furnished by Landlord as
specified in paragraph 18(a), Tenant must first obtain the written consent of
Landlord to the use thereof, which Landlord will not unreasonably withhold. If
Landlord consents to an excess use of electricity or water, Landlord, at its
election, may cause an electrical or water meter (including, without limitation,
any additional wiring, conduit or panel required therefor) to be installed in
the Premises in order to measure the amount of excess electricity or water
consumed by Tenant. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord upon demand, in addition
to the amounts set forth in paragraph 5.1 through 5.4 of this Lease, the
following: the cost of any and all water, heat, air conditioning, electricity,
janitorial, elevator or other services or utilities required by and furnished to
Tenant in excess of the services and utilities required to be furnished by
Landlord as provided in paragraph 18(a); the cost of any meter installed in the
Premises and the cost of the installation, maintenance and repair thereof; and
any cost incurred by Landlord in keeping account of or determining such excess
utilities or services furnished to Tenant. The cost of the foregoing shall be
determined by methods (which may or may not include installation of separate
meters as allowed above) and in accordance with rates established by Landlord.
HVAC services provided to the Premises after the hours specified above in
paragraph 18(a) will be monitored (pursuant to a device that will be in place
upon delivery of the Premises to Tenant), and Tenant shall pay for such services
at the rates generally in effect for tenants of the Building, including
increases in such rates generally adopted by Landlord to cover increases in
costs incurred by Landlord for providing HVAC services.
e. Landlord makes no representation with respect to the adequacy or
fitness of the heating, air conditioning or ventilation equipment in the
Building to maintain temperatures which may be required for, or because of, any
equipment of Tenant other than normal fractional horsepower office equipment,
and Landlord shall have no liability for loss or damage suffered by Tenant or
others in connection with any such equipment. Landlord shall, however, put the
supplemental HVAC existing in the Premises as of the date of this Lease in good
working order as part of the work done by Landlord pursuant to paragraph 10.1.
If the temperature otherwise maintained in any portion of the Premises by the
heating, air conditioning or ventilation systems is affected as a result of (i)
any lights, machines or equipment in addition to those described in the Drawings
and Specifications, (ii) the occupancy of the Premises by more than one person
per one hundred (100) square feet of net rentable area thereof or, if greater,
the initial occupancy level of the Premises described in the Drawings and
Specifications, or (iii) an electrical load for lighting and power in excess of
that required for general office purposes, Landlord shall have the right to
install any machinery and equipment which Landlord deems necessary to restore
temperature balance, including, without limitation, modification to the standard
air conditioning equipment, and the cost thereof including, without limitation,
the cost of installation and any additional cost of operation, maintenance or
repair incurred thereby, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand.
f. Tenant shall comply with the non-discriminatory conservation and use
policies from time to time established by Landlord for the use of utility
services supplied by Landlord, and the utility charges payable by Tenant
hereunder may include such excess usage penalties or surcharges as may, from
time to time, be established by the utilities provider or, on a non-
discriminatory basis, by Landlord. Landlord may reduce the utility supply to
the Premises and the Common Areas as required by mandatory water, energy or
other conservation statute, regulation, or allocation or other program or, to
the extent Tenant's operations are not materially impaired, as permitted by any
voluntary program established on a nondiscriminatory basis for tenants of the
Building.
19. Inability to Perform
--------------------
This Lease and the obligation of Tenant to pay Rent hereunder and to keep,
observe and perform all of the other terms, covenants, conditions, provisions
and agreements of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be kept, observed or
performed shall in no way be affected, impaired or excused because Landlord is
unable to fulfill any of its obligations under this Lease or to make or supply,
or is delayed or
15
curtailed in making or supplying, any service expressly or impliedly to be
supplied, any repairs, alterations, decorations, additions or improvements, or
any equipment or fixtures, if Landlord is prevented, delayed or curtailed from
so doing by reason of any cause beyond Landlord's reasonable control, including,
but not limited to, Acts of God, strike or labor troubles, fuel or energy
shortages, governmental preemption or curtailment in connection with a national
emergency or in connection with any rule, order, guideline or regulation of any
department or governmental agency, or by reason of the conditions of supply and
demand which have been or are affected by a war or other emergency. Any such
prevention, delay or curtailment shall be deemed excused and Landlord shall not
be subject to any liability resulting therefrom.
20. Disruption of Services for Repair or Maintenance
------------------------------------------------
Landlord shall repair and maintain or cause to be repaired and maintained
those portions of the Building outside of the Premises and the structural
portions of the Building, but only those portions of the Building which are not
required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder. Landlord shall also perform its
maintenance and repair obligations expressly set forth in paragraph 11. Subject
to the provisions of paragraph 18(b) of this Lease, Landlord reserves the right
to stop service of the elevator, plumbing, heating, ventilating, air
conditioning and electrical or other mechanical systems, or cleaning services,
when necessary, by reason of accident or emergency or for inspection, repairs,
alterations, decorations, additions or improvements which, in the judgment of
Landlord, are desirable or necessary to be made, until same shall have been
completed, and shall further have no responsibility or liability for failure to
supply any of such services in such instance. Landlord shall use reasonable
efforts to minimize the inconvenience to Tenant from such disruptions or
interruptions of services.
21. Life Safety System
------------------
If there now is or shall be installed in the Building a sprinkler system,
heat or smoke detection system, or any other so-called life-safety system, and
any such system or any of its components or appliances shall be damaged or
injured or not in proper working order by reason of any act or omission of
Tenant, Tenant's agents, servants, employees, contractors, visitors or
licensees, Tenant shall forthwith, at its sole cost, restore the same to good
working condition. If the Insurance Services Offices or any other similar body
or any bureau, department or official of the state, county or city government,
or any governmental authority having jurisdiction, require or recommend that any
changes, modifications, alterations or additional equipment be made or supplied
in or to any such system by reason of Tenant's business or equipment, or the
location of partitions, trade fixtures, or other contents or the Premises, or if
any such changes, modifications, alterations, or additional equipment become
necessary to prevent the imposition of a penalty or change against the full
allowance for any such system in the insurance rate as fixed by said Office, or
by any insurance company, Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, promptly make and
supply such changes, modifications, alterations or additional equipment provided
that Tenant's obligations shall be limited to expenses for such damages,
modifications, alterations, or additional equipment made or located within the
Premises.
22. Personal Property and Other Taxes and Assessments
-------------------------------------------------
Tenant shall pay, before delinquency, any and all taxes levied or assessed
and which become payable during the Term upon Tenant's equipment, furniture,
fixtures and other personal property located in the Premises, including any
carpeting installed by Tenant, even though said carpeting has become a part of
the Premises. In the event said taxes are charged to or paid or payable by
Landlord, then Tenant, forthwith upon demand therefor, shall pay to Landlord the
amount of all of such taxes payable by Landlord.
23. Rules and Regulations
---------------------
Tenant agrees faithfully to observe and comply with the Rules and
Regulations printed on or annexed to this Lease and incorporated herein as
though fully set forth, and all modifications of and additions thereto which
Landlord imposes and communicates to all tenants of the Building from time to
time. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for the non-performance by
any other tenant or occupant of the Building of any said Rules and Regulations.
Landlord may waive any one or more of these Rules and Regulations for the
benefit of any particular tenant, but no such waiver by Landlord shall be
construed as a waiver of such Rules and Regulations in favor of any other tenant
or tenants, or prevent Landlord from thereafter enforcing any such Rules and
Regulations against any or all tenants of the Building, Landlord reserves the
right to adopt other reasonable and non-discriminatory rules and regulations as
it may determine in its judgment are needed from time to time for safety and
security, for care and cleanliness of the Building and for the preservation of
good order therein. Tenant agrees to abide by such Rules and Regulations and
any additional reasonable and non-discriminatory Rules and Regulations which are
adopted.
24. Holding Over
------------
Provided that Tenant gives Landlord written notice of its intention to hold
over, and gives such notice at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of
this Lease and provided further that Tenant
16
continues to pay Rent and fulfill all of its obligations under this Lease, and
Landlord consents in writing to such holding over, the same shall be a month to
month tenancy. If Tenant shall remain in possession of the Premises or any part
thereof after expiration of the Term with Landlord's consent, Tenant agrees to
pay to Landlord for each month of such retention a Minimum Rent of 150% of the
Minimum Rent required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease for the last full
month period prior to the date of such expiration, and such continuing tenancy
shall otherwise be under the terms and conditions herein specified so far as
applicable, including the payment of Additional Rent as herein provided. In such
event, and in addition to the payment of the foregoing increased rentals, Tenant
agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless against all losses,
costs, claims, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation attorneys'
fees and expenses) sustained by Landlord by reason of such continuing tenancy
(including, without limitation, claims for damages by any other person to whom
Landlord may have leased or have proposed to lease or sold or have proposed to
sell all or any part of the Premises). This provision is in addition to, and
does not affect or waive, Landlord's right of reentry or any other right or
remedy available to Landlord on account of conflicts of such holding over. Any
holding over without Landlord's written consent shall entitle Landlord to
recover possession of the Premises and exercise any and all rights provided
Landlord by this Lease and by applicable law.
25. Subordination of Lease
----------------------
This Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times to all ground or
underlying leases which may now exist or hereafter be executed affecting the
Property, or any part thereof, and to the lien of any mortgages or deeds of
trust in any amount or amounts whatsoever now or hereafter placed on or against
the Property, or any part thereof, or on or against Landlord's interest or
estate therein, or on or against any ground or underlying lease (any of the
foregoing being a "Superior Interest"), without the necessity of having further
instruments on the part of Tenant to effectuate such subordination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant covenants and agrees to execute and
deliver, within 15 days after demand, without charge, such further instruments
evidencing such subordination of this Lease to such ground or underlying leases
and to the lien of any such mortgages or deeds of trust as may be requested by
Landlord. Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord the attorney-in-fact of
Tenant to irrevocably execute and deliver any such instrument or instruments for
or in the name of Tenant. In the event of foreclosure or exercise of any power
of sale under any mortgage or deed of trust superior to this Lease or to which
this Lease is subject or subordinate, Tenant shall upon demand attorn to the
lessor under said ground or underlying lease, or to the purchaser at any
foreclosure sale or sale pursuant to the exercise of any power of sale under any
mortgage or deed of trust. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
this Lease, this Lease shall not be subordinate to any hereafter placed
mortgage, deed of trust or lease, unless the holder thereof shall be willing to
enter into a non-disturbance agreement or subordination agreement with Tenant on
commercially reasonable terms pursuant to which, so long as Tenant is not in
default of any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease after notice and
expiration of the applicable cure periods, Tenant's possession of the Premises
and its rights under this Lease shall not be disturbed nor terminated as a
result of any default by Landlord under any mortgage, deed of trust or lease or
as a result of foreclosure or termination of such mortgage, deed of trust or
lease. Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that, as of the date of this
Lease, there is no indebtedness secured by a deed of trust or mortgage on the
Building.
26. Entry by Landlord
-----------------
Upon 24 hour notice to Tenant (except in the case of an emergency where no
notice shall be required), Landlord reserves and shall at any and all reasonable
times have the right to enter the Premises to inspect the same, to show the
Premises to prospective brokers, agents, purchasers or tenants (but with respect
to leasing brokers or prospective tenants, only during the last eighteen (18)
months of the Term or while Tenant is in default hereunder), to post notices of
non-responsibility, sale or other notices, and to alter, improve or repair the
Premises and any portion of the Building without abatement of rent, and may for
those purposes erect scaffolding and other necessary structures where reasonably
required by the character of the work to be performed, always providing the
entrance to the Premises shall not be blocked thereby. Tenant hereby waives any
claim for damages for any injury, nuisance or other inconvenience to or
interference with Tenant's business, any loss of occupancy, business or quiet
enjoyment of the Premises, and other loss occasioned by such entry. For each of
the aforesaid purposes, Tenant agrees that Landlord shall at all times have and
retain a key with which to unlock all of the doors in and about the Premises,
excluding Tenant's vaults and safes, and Landlord shall have the right to use
any and all means which Landlord may deem proper to open said doors in an
emergency in order to obtain entry to the Premises, and any entry to the
Premises obtained by Landlord by any of said means, or otherwise, 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 of Tenant from the
Premises or any portion thereof. Landlord shall use reasonable and good faith
efforts to do any work permitted pursuant to this paragraph in a manner that
will minimize to the extent practicable the disruption of Tenant's business in
the Premises. In the event that the Premises are rendered untenantable for a
period in excess of three days by reason of work done by Landlord under this
paragraph that is not made necessary by reason of Tenant's default, by the
requirements of any insurer or by the provisions of applicable laws or rules of
law, the rentals and charges payable by Tenant hereunder shall ▇▇▇▇▇ from the
date the Premises become untenantable until Landlord's work is sufficiently
completed that Tenant may resume operations.
17
27. Insolvency or Bankruptcy
------------------------
Tenant hereby agrees that neither this Lease nor any interest herein shall
be assignable or transferable by operation of law, and it is mutually agreed,
covenanted and understood by and between the parties hereto that in the event
any proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code or any amendment thereto, whether
commenced by or against Tenant (provided that if such proceeding be involuntary,
Tenant shall have sixty (60) days to dismiss the same), or in the event Tenant
be adjudged insolvent, or if Tenant makes an assignment for the benefit of its
creditors, or if a writ of attachment or execution be levied on the leasehold
estate created hereby or the business of Tenant operated upon the Premises or
the assets of Tenant situated thereon and be not released or satisfied within
thirty (30) days thereafter, or if any receiver be appointed in any proceeding
or action to which Tenant is a party, with authority to take possession or
control of the Premises or the business conducted thereon by Tenant and such
receiver not be dismissed within sixty (60) days after appointment, this Lease,
at the option of Landlord (a) shall continue in existence as long as (i) the
payment of all Rent agreed to herein is paid or assured to Landlord's
satisfaction, in its sole discretion, and (ii) that in the event this Lease is
assigned or assumed, no covenants in this Lease will be breached, or (b) shall
immediately end and terminate and shall in no way be treated as an asset of
Tenant after the exercise of the aforesaid option; and Landlord shall have the
right, after the exercise of said option, to forthwith re-enter the Premises as
its original estate.
28. Default
-------
It is expressly understood and agreed that the default by Tenant in the
prompt and full performance of any promise, covenant or agreement contained in
this Lease shall be deemed to be a breach by Tenant entitling Landlord to avail
itself of all remedies available to Landlord pursuant to the terms hereof; and
without limitation, the occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a
default by Tenant:
1. Failure to pay Rent when due which continues for more than five (5) days
after written notice from Landlord to Tenant; and
2. Failure to perform any other provision of this Lease which continues for
more than twenty (20) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant
or, if the nature of the failure is such that the same is not reasonably
susceptible of cure within such period, Tenant's failure to commence to
cure immediately following notice and diligently pursue cure to
completion.
Any notice given by Landlord pursuant to this paragraph may be the notice
required or permitted pursuant to Section 1161 et seq. of the California Code of
------
Civil Procedure or successor statutes, and the provisions of this Lease shall
not require the giving of a notice in addition to such statutory notice to
terminate this Lease and Tenant's right to possession of the Premises. The
periods herein specified within which Tenant is permitted to cure any default
following notice from Landlord shall run concurrently with any cure period
provided by applicable laws.
In the event of any default of this Lease by Tenant, then Landlord, in
addition to any other rights and remedies of Landlord at law or equity, shall
have the right either to terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises
and thereby terminate this Lease or to have this Lease continue in full force
and effect with Tenant at all times having the right to possession of the
Premises.
Should Landlord elect to terminate Tenant's right to possession of the
Premises and terminate this Lease, Landlord shall have the immediate right of
entry and may remove all persons and property from the Premises. Tenant agrees
that such property so removed may be stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere
at the cost and for the account of Tenant. Upon such termination, Landlord
shall have all the rights and remedies of a landlord provided by Section 1951.2
of the Civil Code of the State of California, which provides that Landlord may
recover from Tenant the following: (i) the worth at the time of the award of
the unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of termination; (ii) the worth
at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have
been earned after termination until the time of the award exceeds the amount of
such Rent loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; (iii) the
worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the
balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental
loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; and (iv) any other amount
necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by
Tenant's failure to perform Tenant's obligations under this Lease or which in
the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom. The "worth
at the time of award" of the amounts referred to in (i) and (ii) of this
subsection shall be computed by allowing interest at the Interest Rate specified
in this Lease. The "worth at the time of award" of the amount referred to in
(iii) above shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of
the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award plus one
percent (1%).
As used herein, the term "time of award" shall mean either the date upon
which Tenant pays to Landlord the amount recoverable by Landlord as hereinabove
set forth or the date of entry of any determination, order or judgment of any
court or other legally constituted body, whichever first occurs. No
18
act by Landlord other than giving written notice to Tenant shall terminate this
Lease. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet the Premises or Landlord's
appointment of a receiver to protect Landlord's interest shall not constitute a
termination of Tenant's right to possession.
Should Landlord, following any breach or default of this Lease by Tenant,
elect to keep this Lease in full force and effect, with Tenant retaining the
right to possession of the Premises (notwithstanding the fact Tenant may have
abandoned the Premises), then Landlord, in addition to all other rights and
remedies Landlord may have at law or equity, shall have the right to enforce all
of Landlord's rights and remedies under this Lease including, but not limited
to, the right to recover the installments of Rent as they become due under this
Lease.
Notwithstanding any such election to have this Lease remain in full force
and effect, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate Tenant's
right to possession of the Premises and thereby terminate this Lease for any
previous breach or default which remains uncured, or for any subsequent breach
or default.
Any and all sums in addition to the Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord
pursuant to the provisions of this Lease or arising from Tenant's use and
occupancy of the Premises shall be deemed Additional Rent under this Lease and
default by Tenant in the payment of any such sums shall entitle Landlord to all
the same remedies as would be applicable in the case of nonpayment of Rent
hereunder.
Landlord shall have the remedy, described in California Civil Code 1951.4
(Landlord may continue the lease in effect after lessee's breach and abandonment
and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign,
subject only to reasonable limitations).
29. No Redemption
-------------
Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption and relief
from forfeiture granted by or under any present or future laws in event of any
judgment declaring a forfeiture of or terminating this lease for any cause, or
in the event of Landlord obtaining possession of the Premises by reason of the
violation by Tenant of any of the covenants and conditions of this Lease or
otherwise. The rights given to Landlord hereunder are in addition to any rights
that may be given to Landlord by statute or otherwise.
30. Damage or Destruction of Premises
---------------------------------
If, during the Term, the Premises or the Building and other improvements in
which the Premises are located are totally or partially destroyed from any
cause, rendering the Premises totally or partially inaccessible or unusable, and
at least one (1) year of the Term remains, Landlord shall restore the Premises
or the Building and other improvements in which the Premises are located to
substantially the same condition as they were in immediately before destruction,
if the restoration can be made under the existing laws and can be completed
within 180 working days after obtaining all necessary permits therefore
(Landlord shall use due diligence in applying for said permits) and if the cost
of such repairs does not exceed the amount of insurance proceeds received by
Landlord on account of such damages. Such destruction shall not terminate this
Lease.
If Landlord determines in good faith that restoration is not susceptible of
completion within the time stated in this paragraph, or if the insurance
proceeds received (plus any applicable deductible) are not sufficient to cover
the cost of the required repairs and by reason thereof Landlord declines to
restore the Premises and the Building, then Tenant shall have the right to
terminate this Lease immediately by giving written notice to Landlord. Landlord
shall, at Tenant's request, promptly advise Tenant in writing of Landlord's good
faith estimate of the time to restore and of the sufficiency of insurance
proceeds (and whether Landlord elects to decline to restore by reason of any
insufficiency), and Tenant shall exercise its right to terminate not later than
thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord's notice showing that Tenant has a
right to terminate by reason either of time to restore or failure to restore due
to insufficiency of insurance proceeds. If Tenant fails to terminate this Lease
and if restoration is permitted under the existing laws, Landlord, at its
election, can either terminate this Lease or restore the Premises or the
Building and other improvements in which the Premises are located within a
reasonable time and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. If the
existing laws do not permit the restoration, either party can terminate this
Lease immediately by giving notice to the other party. In the event of the
giving of such notice of termination by Landlord or Tenant as provided herein,
this Lease and all interest of Tenant in the Premises shall terminate fifteen
(15) days after receipt of such notice by the other party.
Except if Landlord receives insurance proceeds from Tenant's insurance as
provided in paragraph 16(c) hereof specifically therefor, Landlord shall not be
required to repair any injury or damage, by fire or other cause, to the property
of Tenant, or to make repairs or replacements of any decorations, or any
improvements installed on the Premises by or for Tenant, except that in the
event Landlord is otherwise required to restore casualty damage under this
Lease, Landlord shall be required to restore the interior leasehold improvements
existing in the Premises upon delivery thereof to Tenant at Term commencement.
19
In case of destruction, there shall be an abatement or reduction of Rent,
between the date of destruction and the date of completion of restoration if
restoration takes place, based on the extent to which the destruction actually
interferes with Tenant's use of the Premises.
Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Sections 1932, Subdivision 2, and
1933, Subdivision 4, of the Civil Code of California.
In the event that Landlord fails to complete the restoration of any damage
to the Premises (or damage to portions of the Building providing access to the
Premises) by the end of the one hundred eighty (180) day period described in
this paragraph 30, and if Landlord is not then diligently and in good faith
pursuing restoration to completion, then Tenant shall have the right to
terminate this Lease upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to Landlord and
Landlord's failure to complete restoration within such sixty day period.
In the event that the Premises shall be damaged or destroyed to the extent
of more than $100,000.00 during the last one (1) year of the Term, then either
Tenant or Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Section 30, Landlord shall
not have the right during the first three years of the Term to terminate this
Lease for a casualty that affects areas of the Building other than the Premises
unless Landlord also terminates the leases of any other tenants in the Building
whose, premises are affected by such casualty to the same or greater extent as
the Premises.
31. Eminent Domain
--------------
If all or any part of the Building of which the Premises are a part shall
be taken or appropriated by any public or quasi-public authority under any power
of eminent domain (which shall include a sale in lieu thereof to a public body)
Landlord may terminate this Lease, and if all or any part of the Premises are so
taken or appropriated, Tenant may terminate this Lease. In such event, Landlord
shall be entitled to, and Tenant upon demand of Landlord shall assign to
Landlord, any rights of Tenant to any and all income, rent, award, or any
interest therein whatsoever, which may be paid or made in connection with such
public or quasi-public use or purpose, and Tenant shall have no claim against
Landlord for the value of any unexpired Term. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this paragraph, Tenant may keep any award made directly to
Tenant as compensation for loss of Tenant's business, equipment, merchandise,
inventory or other personal property or for Tenant's relocation expenses, if and
to the extent that such award to Tenant does not diminish the aggregate
compensation payable in respect of the fair market value of the property taken,
which compensation shall be paid to Landlord. If a part of the Premises shall
be so taken or appropriated and neither Landlord nor Tenant elects to terminate
this Lease, the Rent thereafter to be paid shall be reduced on a pro-rata square
footage basis.
32. Default by Landlord
-------------------
The liability of Landlord to Tenant under or with respect to this Lease,
the Premises or the Property shall be limited to action by Tenant for any
damages actually sustained by Tenant as a direct result of Landlord's breach of
an obligation specified herein, and it is expressly understood and agreed that
any money judgment resulting from any default or other claim arising under or
with respect to this Lease shall be satisfied solely out of Landlord's interest
in the Property and the rents, profits and other income ("Income" for the
purposes of this paragraph 32 only) actually received from the operation of the
subject property in which the Premises are located, and no other real, personal
or mixed or any other property of Landlord wherever situated shall be subject to
levy on any such judgment obtained against Landlord, and if Landlord's interest
in the Property and the Income is insufficient for the payment of such judgment,
Tenant will not institute any further action, suits, claim or demand, in law or
in equity, against Landlord for or on account of such deficiency. Tenant hereby
waives any rights to otherwise satisfy said money judgment against Landlord (or
to take any action whatsoever against Landlord) except from and to the extent of
Landlord's interest in the Property and the Income received by Landlord from the
operation of the Property as specified herein.
33. Plats and Riders
----------------
Clauses, plats and riders, if any, signed by Landlord and Tenant and
endorsed on or affixed to this Lease are a part hereof and, in the event of
variation or discrepancy, the duplicate original hereof, including such clauses,
plats and riders, if any, held by Landlord shall control.
34. Sale by Landlord
----------------
In the event of a sale or conveyance by Landlord of the Building, the same
shall operate to release Landlord from any liability thereafter accruing upon
any of the covenants or conditions, express or implied, herein contained in
favor of Tenant, and in such event Tenant agrees to look solely to the
responsibility of the successor in interest of Landlord in and to this Lease.
If any security is given by Tenant to secure the faithful performance of all or
any of the covenants of this Lease on the part of Tenant, Landlord may
20
transfer and/or deliver the security, as such, to the successor in interest of
Landlord, and thereupon Tenant agrees that Landlord shall be discharged from any
further liability in reference thereto. Except as set forth in this paragraph
34, this Lease shall not be affected by any such sale or conveyance.
35. Estoppel Certificates
---------------------
At any time and from time to time, within a time period of ten (10) days
after request by Landlord, Tenant agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver to
Landlord a statement certifying the date of commencement of this Lease, stating
that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have
been modifications) and the dates to which the Rent has been paid, and setting
forth such other matters as may be requested by Landlord. Landlord and Tenant
intend that any such statement delivered pursuant to this paragraph may be
relied upon by any mortgagee or the beneficiary of any deed of trust or by any
purchaser or prospective purchaser of the Building. Tenant's failure to deliver
such statement within such time period shall be and constitute the confirmation
by Tenant that (i) this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification,
except as may be represented by Landlord; (ii) there are no uncured defaults in
Landlord's performance and Tenant has no right of offset, counterclaim or
deduction against Rent hereunder; and (iii) no more than one month's Minimum
Rent has been paid in advance.
36. Right of Landlord to Perform
----------------------------
All covenants and agreements to be kept or performed by Tenant under any of
the terms of this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and
expense and without any offset or abatement of Rent. If Tenant shall fail to
pay any sum of money, other than Rent required to be paid by it hereunder, or
shall fail to perform any other act on its part to be performed hereunder, and
such failure shall continue for fifteen (15) days after notice thereof by
Landlord, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, and without waiving any
default of Tenant or releasing Tenant from any obligations of Tenant hereunder,
make any such payment or perform any such other act on Tenant's part to be made
or performed as in this lease provided. All sums so paid or incurred by Landlord
and all necessary incidental costs, together with interest thereon at the
Interest Rate herein specified from the date of such payment by Landlord, shall
be paid to Landlord forthwith on demand, and Landlord shall have (in addition to
any other right or remedy of Landlord) the same rights and remedies in the event
of nonpayment thereof by Tenant as in the case of default by Tenant in the
payment of Rent.
37. Attorney Fees
-------------
If Landlord, without fault on Landlord's part, be made a party to any
litigation instituted by or against Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all
costs and expenses incurred by Landlord, including attorney's fees. In the
event that Landlord should be required to retain counsel for the collection of
rent or the enforcement of any provision hereof, and such collection of rent or
enforcement hereof does not necessitate the bringing of an action at law or
equity, then Landlord shall be entitled to any and all costs and attorney's fees
incurred by Landlord, and the same shall be paid by Tenant within five (5) days
after receipt by Tenant of written demand by Landlord for the same. Tenant
agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord from and against any
liability arising from any breach by Tenant hereof, including attorney's fees
and costs incurred in connection therewith, whether such claim arises before or
after the expiration or termination of this Lease.
38. Surrender of Premises
---------------------
The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant or a mutual
cancellation thereof shall not work a merger and, at the option of Landlord,
shall terminate all or any existing subleases or subtenancies or, at the option
of Landlord, shall operate as an assignment to Landlord of any or all such
subleases of subtenancies.
39. End of Term
-----------
Upon the expiration or other termination of the Term, Tenant shall quit and
surrender to Landlord the Premises, broom clean, in as good order, condition and
repair as it now is or may hereafter be placed, ordinary wear and tear excepted.
Tenant shall remove all property of Tenant, as directed by Landlord. Any
property left on Premises at the expiration or other termination of this Lease,
or after the happening of any of the events of default, at the option of
Landlord, shall be placed in storage at a public warehouse in the name of and
for the account of and at the expense and risk of Tenant, or otherwise disposed
of by Landlord in the manner provided by law. Tenant expressly releases Landlord
of and from any and all claims and liability with respect thereto.
40. Quiet Possession
----------------
Landlord covenants and agrees with Tenant that, upon Tenant's paying said
Rent and observing and performing all of the terms, covenants, conditions,
provisions and agreements of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed or
performed, Tenant shall have quiet possession of the Premises hereby leased for
the Term, subject, however, to the terms of this Lease and of any ground leases,
underlying
21
leases, mortgages and deeds of trust affecting all or any portion of the
Building or any of the areas used in connection with the operation of the
Building.
41. Brokerage
---------
Each party represents to the other that it has not dealt with any
broker(s), finder(s) or agents(s) in connection with this Lease other than
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and CB ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (the "Brokers") and that no other
broker, finder or other person on its behalf negotiated this lease or is
entitled to a commission, fee or other compensation in connection herewith.
Each party hereby indemnifies, defends, protects and holds the other party
harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities,
lawsuits, judgments, costs and expenses with respect to any leasing commission
or equivalent compensation alleged to be owing on account of the indemnifying
party's dealings with any real estate broker or agent other than the Brokers.
Landlord shall be responsible to pay any commission due to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Wakefield,
and CB ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ shall look to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Wakefield for any commission due to
it in respect of this Lease.
42. No Waiver
---------
No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy of Landlord on
any default by Tenant shall impair such a right or remedy or be construed as a
waiver.
The receipt and acceptance by Landlord of delinquent Rent shall not
constitute a waiver of any other default. Such acceptance shall be effective
only if made in writing, and such acceptance shall, in any event, constitute
only a waiver of timely payment for the particular Rent payment involved.
No act or conduct of Landlord, including, without limitation, the
acceptance of the keys to the Premises, shall constitute an acceptance of the
surrender of the Premises by Tenant before the expiration of the Term. Only a
written notice from Landlord to Tenant shall constitute acceptance of the
surrender of the Premises and accomplish a termination of this Lease.
No covenant or condition of this Lease can be waived except by the written
consent of Landlord, and forbearance or indulgence by Landlord in any regard
whatsoever shall not constitute a waiver of the covenant or condition to be
performed by Tenant to which the same may apply, and until complete performance
by Tenant of said covenant or condition, Landlord shall be entitled to invoke
any remedy available unto it under this Lease or by law, despite said
forbearance or indulgence. The subsequent acceptance of rental hereunder by
Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant or
any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant
to pay the particular rental so accepted, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of
such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rental.
Landlord's consent to or approval of any act by Tenant requiring Landlord's
consent or approval must be in writing and such consent or approval shall not be
deemed to waive or render unnecessary Landlord's, consent to or approval of any
subsequent act by Tenant.
Any waiver by Landlord of any default must also be in writing and shall not
be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of
this Lease.
43. Notices
-------
All notices and demands which may or are required to be given by Landlord
to Tenant hereunder shall be delivered personally or sent by United States
certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed to Tenant at the
Premises, or to such other place as Tenant may from time to time by like notice
designate. All notices and demands by Tenant to Landlord shall be sent by
United States certified mail or registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed to
Landlord at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ or to such other
place as Landlord may from time to time by like notice designate.
44. Defined Terms and Marginal Headings
-----------------------------------
The words "Landlord" and "Tenant" as used herein shall include the plural
as well as the singular. Words used in masculine gender include the feminine
and neuter. If there is more than one Tenant, the obligations hereunder imposed
upon Tenant shall be joint and several. The marginal headings and titles to the
paragraphs of this Lease are not a part of this Lease and shall have no effect
upon the construction or interpretation of any part hereof.
45. Time and Applicable Law
-----------------------
Time is of the essence of this Lease and each and all of its provisions.
This Lease shall in all respects be governed by the laws of the State of
California.
22
46. Successors
----------
Except as otherwise provided herein, the covenants and conditions herein
contained shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs,
successors, executors, administrators and assigns of the parties hereto.
47. Late Charge and Interest
------------------------
It is agreed between the parties hereto that late payment by Tenant of
Minimum Rent, Additional Rent, or other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord
to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease. Such costs include, without
limitation, processing and accounting charges, loss of use of funds, and
unforeseen advancement by Landlord for mortgages and other financing costs. In
the event of any such default by Tenant (i) it would be impracticable or
extremely difficult to fix the actual damages suffered by Landlord, and (ii) the
charges hereinbelow set forth are, as of the date hereof, a fair and reasonable
estimate of Landlord's damages. For the second and each subsequent time in any
calendar year that Landlord not receive any payment within five (5) days when
due, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord forthwith a late charge for each such late
payment in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the delinquent sum.
Acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of the default with
respect to the overdue amount, and shall not prevent Landlord from exercising
any of its rights and remedies under this Lease, or applicable law. In addition
to such late charge, Tenant shall pay interest to Landlord on any and all sums
not paid hereunder when due at the rate of 1% per month or, if less, the maximum
rate permissible under applicable laws (the "Interest Rate"), from the date due
until paid in full.
48. Authority
---------
If Tenant is a corporation, partnership, trust, association or other
entity, Tenant and each person executing this lease on behalf of Tenant does
hereby covenant and warrant that (a) Tenant is duly incorporated or otherwise
established or formed and validly existing under the laws of its state of
incorporation, establishment or formation, (b) Tenant has and is duly qualified
to do business in California, (c) Tenant has full corporate, partnership, trust,
association or other power and authority to enter into this Lease and to perform
all Tenant's obligations hereunder, and (d) each person (and all of the persons
if more than one signs) signing this lease on behalf of Tenant is duly and
validly authorized to do so. Upon execution hereof, Tenant shall provide
Landlord with a written certification of its Corporate Secretary or other
appropriate authorizing officer or partner attesting that at a duly noticed
meeting of its Board of Directors or other governing body a resolution has been
unanimously adopted approving Tenant's execution hereof, thereby binding itself
to the terms of this Lease and identifying the person(s) authorized to execute
this Lease on behalf of Tenant.
49. Name of Building
----------------
Tenant shall not use the name from time to time used by Landlord for the
Building without Landlord's consent. Tenant shall not have or acquire any
property right or interest in the such name.
50. Signage
-------
No signage shall be permitted on the exterior or the windows of the
Premises or the Building without Landlord's express advance written approval in
its sole and absolute discretion in all respects. If Tenant fails to remove any
signage or plaques upon termination or expiration of this Lease, or any earlier
termination of rights provided in this Section, then Landlord may perform such
removal and restoration of all affected areas, and Tenant shall immediately
reimburse Landlord for all costs and expenses associated therewith. Tenant
shall be solely responsible for obtaining all necessary approvals (including any
necessary governmental approvals) for all such signage or plaques, and all costs
related to the design, installation, maintenance and repair, and, upon
expiration or earlier termination of the Lease or of termination as provided in
this Section of Tenant's rights to any such signage or plaques, removal and
restoration of affected areas, shall be borne solely by Tenant. Tenant shall
submit to Landlord detailed plans and specifications for all signage or plaques,
and any and all signage or plaques shall be subject to Landlord's express
advance written approval in its sole and absolute discretion in all respects,
including, without limitation, form, content, size, placement, materials and
color of all plaques, banners, signage and displays. Notwithstanding any
contrary provision of this Lease, Landlord shall install, as part of the initial
improvements described in paragraph 10.1 of this Lease, building standard
identification signage for Tenant in the elevator lobby on the floor of the
Building on which the Premises. Tenant shall not have the obligation to pay for
the cost of the removal of such signage at the end of the Term.
At Tenant's option, and provided and on condition that Tenant Shall obtain
and keep in force all necessary and appropriate governmental authorizations and
approvals, a satellite dish for Tenant's operations will be installed and
maintained on the roof of the Building at a location on the roof of the Building
approved by Landlord in its discretion. The work of the installation and
maintenance of such dish shall be done by Landlord or a contractor designated by
Landlord, in accordance with plans and specifications prepared by Tenant and
approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. Tenant will pay to Landlord, as additional rental, the reasonable
costs and expenses
23
incurred by Landlord in connection with such installation and maintenance.
Landlord may require that such satellite dish be within and screened by an
enclosure with dimensions not greater than three feet by three feet by three
feet or if greater the smallest dimensions reasonably available to newspaper to
receive newswire and photo services. Any satellite dish installed as provided
above shall be removed by Landlord at Tenant's sole cost and expense at the end
of the Term or at any time that Tenant ceases to use the same or maintain
required governmental authorizations and approvals therefor.
51. Entire Agreement
----------------
Tenant expressly acknowledges that it has not entered into this Lease in
reliance on any representations, warranty, agreement or understanding, either
oral or written, which is not specifically set forth herein. This Lease is and
shall be considered to be the entire and only agreement between the parties
hereto. All negotiations and oral agreements acceptable to both parties have
been merged into and have been included herein.
This Lease shall not be modified by any oral agreement, either express or
implied, and all modifications hereof shall be in writing and signed by both
Landlord and Tenant.
52. Partial Invalidity
------------------
It is agreed that if any provisions of this Lease shall be determined to be
void by any court of competent jurisdiction, then such determination shall not
affect any other provisions of this Lease and all such other provisions shall
remain in full force and effect. It is the intention of the parties hereto that
if any provision of this Lease is capable of two constructions, one of which
would render the provision void and the other of which would render the
provision valid, then the provision shall be determined to have the meaning
which renders it valid.
53. No Offer
--------
Submission of this instrument for examination or signature by Tenant does
not constitute a reservation of or option for lease and it is not effective as a
lease or otherwise until execution and delivery by both Landlord and Tenant.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have executed this Lease the day
and year first above written.

RULES AND REGULATIONS
1. Except as provided, required or permitted by Landlord in accordance
with the Building standards, no sign, placard, picture, advertisement, name or
notice shall be inscribed, displayed, painted or affixed by Tenant on or to any
part of the Building or exterior of the Premises leased to tenants or to the
doors or door thereof without the written consent of Landlord (which may be
withheld in Landlord's sole discretion) first obtained as to all matters
pertaining thereto, including without limitation dimensions, material, content,
location and design, and Landlord shall have the right to remove any such sign,
placard, picture, advertisement, name or notice without notice to and at the
expense of Tenant. In no event whatsoever shall Tenant install any signage on
any exterior or interior door of the Premises; if Tenant shall nonetheless do
so, Tenant shall replace or, at Landlord's option, pay Landlord for the
replacement of each door on which any signage has been installed.
2. Except as provided, required or permitted by Landlord in accordance
with Building standards, no draperies, curtains, blinds, shades, screens or
other devices shall be hung at or used in connection with any window or exterior
door or doors of the Premises.
3. The bulletin board or directory of the Building, if any, shall be used
primarily for display of the name and location of tenants and Landlord reserves
the right to exclude any other names therefrom, to limit the number of names
associated with tenants to be placed thereon and to charge for names associated
with tenants to be placed thereon at rates applicable to all tenants. Landlord
shall provide to Tenant free of charge spaces for three listings on the Building

Premises, and any additional keys or key cards initially required by Tenant must
be obtained from Landlord at a cost of $5 per key and $5 per card-key. Tenant
shall pay a charge of $20.00 per key or key card for any keys or card keys lost
at any time or not returned at expiration of this Lease; provided, however, that
Landlord agrees to cap the amount Tenant is to pay for lost keys or key cards
upon termination or expiration of the Lease at $150.00. Tenant shall
immediately report to Landlord any lost keys or card-keys as soon as known by
Tenant's office manager, and shall bear the cost of any lost keys and card-keys
and any lock changes or repairs required by Tenant. No keys or key cards shall
