without taking into account any decreases in real estate taxes obtained in connection with Proposition 8, and, therefore, in such event the Tax Expenses in the Base Year and/or an Expense Year may be greater than those actually incurred by Landlord, but shall, nonetheless, be the Tax Expenses due under this Lease; provided that in such event (i) any costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in securing any Proposition 8 reduction shall not be included in Impositions for purposes of this Lease, and (ii) tax refunds under Proposition 8 shall not be deducted from Tax Expenses, but rather shall be the sole property of Landlord. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that this definition of Tax Expenses is not intended to in any way affect (A) the inclusion in Tax Expenses of the statutory two percent (2.0%) annual increase in Tax Expenses (as such statutory increase may be modified by subsequent legislation), or (B) the inclusion or exclusion of Tax Expenses pursuant to the terms of Proposition 13, which shall be governed pursuant to the terms of this definition of Tax Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, only Landlord may institute proceedings to reduce Tax Expenses and the filing of any such proceeding by Tenant without Landlord's consent shall constitute an Event of Default by Tenant after the expiration of applicable notice and cure periods. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be obligated to file any application or institute any proceeding seeking a reduction in Tax Expenses.

2.2Existing Lease

(a)Tenant acknowledges that, as of the Lease Date, Tenant occupies the Existing Premises under the terms of the Existing Lease, and that, subject to the terms of this Lease, Tenant’s rights and obligations with respect to the Existing Premises are and shall remain governed solely by he Existing Lease. Tenant agrees to vacate and surrender possession of the Existing Premises and to complete the relocation of its business operations to the Premises no later than five (5) business days following the Rent Commencement Date (the “Existing Premises Surrender Date”). Tenant shall surrender possession of the Existing Premises in such good and clean condition as is required by the Existing Lease as if such surrender of the Existing Premises was being effected as of the expiration of the Term of the Existing Lease, and, except as hereinafter provided, Tenant’s obligation to pay rent with respect to the Existing Premises shall cease to accrue as of the Rent Commencement Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in Exhibit J (with the items identified therein being referred to as the “Existing Lease Removal Obligations”), Tenant shall not be required to restore any condition or remove any alterations that exist in the Existing Premises as of the Lease Date. Tenant’s failure or refusal to vacate and surrender possession of the Existing Premises on or before the Existing Premises Surrender Date (other than in de minimis respects) in the condition required by this Section 2.2 shall, at the election of Landlord, upon notice to Tenant, constitute an Event of Default under the Existing Lease, and the payment of rent as to the Existing Premises in accordance with the Existing Lease shall continue to accrue as if Tenant was holding over possession of the Existing Premises beyond the expiration of the term of the Existing Lease without the consent of Landlord (in addition to the rent payable with respect to the Premises) until the actual vacation and surrender of the Existing Premises in accordance with the terms of this Lease. Subject to the foregoing, the Existing Lease shall be deemed terminated as of the Existing Premises Surrender Date, and Tenant shall have no further responsibility or obligations with respect to the Existing Premises except as provided in Section 2.2(b).

(b)Nothing herein is intended as a release of Tenant of any obligations under the Existing Lease to pay Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses accruing prior to the later to occur of the Rent Commencement Date and, if Tenant does not surrender the Existing Premises on or before the Existing Premises Surrender Date, the actual date of surrender of the Existing Premises in the condition required by this Section 2.2(a) (the “Existing Lease Early Termination Date”) and, in addition, shall not be a release by Landlord of any claim or right of indemnification by Tenant for any third party claims filed prior to or after the Existing Lease Early Termination Date and relating to the use and/or occupancy of the Existing Premises by Tenant or any of its, employees, agents, contractors customers or invitees.

(a)Landlord shall deliver the Premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date, broom clean, vacant (except for the Designated FF&E), substantially in the same condition is exists on the Lease Date and otherwise in its “AS IS” condition; provided, however, as of the Commencement Date, all Building Systems serving the Premises shall be in good operating order and condition. Except as set forth in this Lease, Tenant agrees that the Premises are being delivered without any representations or warranties by Landlord, and with no obligation of Landlord to make any alterations or improvements to the Premises. However, Landlord shall provide Tenant a Tenant Improvement Allowance as most particularly described in Section 10.2(a) of this Lease.

(b)Tenant acknowledges that as of the Lease Date, a Landlord Entity occupies the Premises, and that said Landlord Entity is scheduled to relocate to other portions of the Building prior to the Target Delivery Date. Subject to delays resulting from Force Majeure Events (as defined below), Landlord shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts (without any obligation to engage overtime labor or commence any litigation) to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on the Target Delivery Date. If Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on the Target Delivery D , Landlord shall not be subject to any liability for its failure to do

19

---

 

so and such failure shall not affect he validity of this Lease nor the obligations of Tenant hereunder, and the sole remedy of Tenant shall be a day for day extension of (i) the Commencement Date until the actual Commencement Date and (ii) if the Commencement Date is delayed such that the Existing Premises Surrender Date would be after February 28, 2020, the Expiration Date under the Existing Lease. Landlord will give Tenant not less than ten (10) business days prior written notice of the actual Commencement Date (provided, however, in no event shall the Commencement Date occur prior to April 1, 2019).

(c)Within ten (10) days after Landlord’s request following the actual Commencement Date, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord a Confirmation of Lease Dates in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto.

(d)Landlord shall deliver and convey to Tenant in the Premises on the Commencement Date, at no cost, the furniture, fixtures and equipment located in the Premises as of the date hereof, set forth in Exhibit G (the “Designated FF&E”). The Designated FF&E is being delivered without any representation or warranty as to merchantability of suitability of use for any particular purpose, but with a representation that Landlord owns such items free and clear of liens, and shall be deemed Tenant’s Property for purposes of this Lease. Landlord shall be responsible for any sales or transfer tax with respect thereto. Except for the Designated FF&E, prior to the Commencement Date Landlord shall cause to be removed from the Premises, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, any furniture, fixtures and equipment other than the Designated FF&E.

3.2Term of Lease. The Term of this Lease shall commence on the Commencement Date and shall expire on the Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms of this Lease or extended on the terms stated in Exhibit F. This Lease shall be a binding contractual obligation effective upon execution and delivery hereof by Landlord and Tenant, notwithstanding the later commencement of the Term.

4.Rent.

4.1Obligation to Pay Base Rent. Tenant shall pay Base Rent to Landlord during the Term for the Premises equal to the RSF of the Premises multiplied by the Base Rent rate per RSF set forth in the Basic Lease Information, as such rate is adjusted pursuant to Section 4.2 below, in advance, in equal monthly installments, commencing on the Rent Commencement Date, and thereafter on or before the first day of each calendar month during the Term. If a Rent Commencement Date is other than the first day of a calendar month, then the Base Rent payable for the applicable portion(s) of the Premises shall be prorated on the basis of a thirty (30)-day month. If the Expiration Date is other than the last day of a calendar month, or if this Lease shall be terminated as of a day other than the last day of a calendar month (except in the case of an Event of Default (as defined below)), the installment of Base Rent for the last fractional month of the Term shall be prorated on the basis of a thirty (30)-day month.

4.2Base Rent Adjustment. The Base Rent rate per RSF set forth in the Basic Lease Information shall be adjusted on the Base Rent Adjustment Date and on each annual anniversary of the Base Rent Adjustment Date by multiplying the Base Rent rate per RSF payable immediately before such date by three percent (3%) and adding the resulting amount to the Base Rent rate per RSF payable immediately before such date. Base Rent, as so adjusted, shall thereafter be due as provided herein. Base Rent adjustments for any fractional calendar month shall be prorated on the basis of a thirty (30)-day month.

4.3Manner of Rent Payment. Except for any Rent abatement as may be expressly provided under this Lease, all Rent shall be paid by Tenant without notice, demand, abatement, deduction or offset, in lawful money of the United States of America, and if payable to Landlord, at Landlord’s Address for Payments in the Basic Lease Information, or to such other person or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate by notice to Tenant.

20

4.4Additional Rent; Other Payments.

(a)Additional Rent. All Rent not characterized as Base Rent, Escalation Rent or Parking Charges (as defined below) shall constitute additional rent, and if payable to Landlord shall, unless otherwise specified in this Lease, be due and payable thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s invoice therefor.

(b)Electricity and Janitorial Payments. In addition to the Base Rent and Escalation Rent, and other charges payable under this Lease, (i) commencing on the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay for all electricity supplied to the Premises during the Term, and (ii) commencing on the Rent Commencement Date Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Percentage Share of the cost of janitorial service provided to the Building (including the Premises). Landlord represents that the Premises are submetered in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant shall pay Landlord for all electricity supplied to the Premises and janitorial service as set forth in this Section 4.4(b), as Additional Rent, on a monthly basis, within thirty (30) days after Landlord delivering an invoice therefor to Tenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, subject to the terms of this Paragraph, the named Tenant under this Lease and any Related Company shall have the right to provide its own janitorial services in the Premises, in which case the pro-rata share of any janitorial services costs to leased premises in the Building (as opposed to janitorial services to Common Areas) shall not be charged to Tenant. It is a condition to any Tenant designated janitorial services vendor providing services in the Building that such vendor be approved by Landlord in advance, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided that such vendor is compatible with all union contracts applicable to Landlord for service providers in the Building, is bonded and carries insurance with coverages then required by Landlord of vendors providing comparable services in the Building, all equipment and materials utilized by such vendor shall be stored entirely in the Premises, all materials and waste disposed of by such vendor shall be disposed of in accordance with the policies and procedures for waste disposal adopted by Landlord for the Building, and provided such janitorial services vendor follows Landlord’s janitorial specifications for services in leased premises in the Building (with the intent that such vendor is not allowed to provide janitorial services to the Premises with a less expensive scope of work or quality than that required of Landlord to other tenant occupied premises in the Building). Upon request, Landlord will provide Tenant with Landlord’s janitorial specifications for leased premises in the Building.

4.5Late Payment of Rent; Interest. Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant of any Rent will cause Landlord to incur administrative costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which is extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain based on the facts and circumstances pertaining as of the Lease Date. Accordingly, if any Rent is not paid by Tenant when due, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such Rent. Any Rent, other than late charges, due Landlord under this Lease, if not paid when due, shall also bear interest at the Interest Rate from the date due until paid. The parties acknowledge that such late charge and interest represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the administrative costs and loss of use of funds Landlord will incur by reason of a late Rent payment by Tenant, but Landlord’s acceptance of such late charge and/or interest shall not constitute a waiver of an Event of Default with respect to such Rent or prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights and remedies provided under this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, before assessing a late charge or late interest the first time in any twelve (12) month period, Landlord shall provide Tenant written notice of the delinquency, and shall waive such late charge and interns Tenant pays such delinquency within five (5) days thereafter.

5.Calculation and Payments of Escalation Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord Escalation Rent in accordance with the following procedures:

5.1Payment of Estimated Escalation Rent. Commencing with December 2019, during December of each calendar year of the Term, or as soon thereafter as practicable, Landlord shall give Tenant notice of its estimate of Escalation Rent due for the ensuing calendar year. Commencing on January 1, 2020, on or before the first day of each month, Tenant shall pay to Landlord in advance, in addition to Base Rent, one-twelfth (1/12th) of such estimated Escalation Rent, unless such notice is not given in December, in which event, Tenant shall continue

21

---

 

to pay on the basis of the prior calendar year’s estimate until the month after such notice is given, and subsequent payments by Tenant shall be based on Landlord’s notice. With the first monthly payment based on Landlord’s notice, Tenant shall also pay the difference, if any, between the amount previously paid for such calendar year and the amount which Tenant would have paid through the month in which such notice is given, based on Landlord’s noticed estimate. If Landlord reasonably determines that the Escalation Rent for the current calendar year will vary from Landlord’s estimate, Landlord may, by notice to Tenant, revise its estimate for such calendar year, and subsequent payments by Tenant for such calendar year shall be based upon such revised estimate. Landlord’s failure or delay in providing Tenant with Landlord’s estimate of Escalation Rent for any calendar year shall not constitute a default by Landlord hereunder, or a waiver by Landlord of Tenant’s obligation to pay Escalation Rent for such calendar year or of Landlord’s right to send such an estimate to Tenant on a later date.

5.2Escalation Rent Statement and Adjustment. Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the close of each calendar year, or as soon thereafter as practicable, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement of the actual Escalation Rent for such calendar year, showing in reasonable detail (a) the Operating Expenses and the Tax Expenses comprising the actual Escalation Rent, and (b) payments made by Tenant on account of Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses for such calendar year (an “Annual Statement”). If the Annual Statement shows that Tenant owes an amount that is more than the payments previously made by Tenant for such calendar year, Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord within thirty (30) days after delivery of the statement. If the Annual Statement shows that Tenant owes an amount that is less than the payments previously made by Tenant for such calendar year, Landlord shall credit the difference first against any sums then owed by Tenant to Landlord and then against the next payment or payments of Rent due Landlord, except that if a credit amount is due Tenant after the termination of this Lease, Landlord shall pay to Tenant any excess remaining after Landlord credits such amount against any sums owed by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the final Annual Statement. Notwithstanding any provision in this Lease to the contrary, however, in no event shall any decrease in Operating Expenses or Tax Expenses below the Base Operating Expenses or Base Tax Expenses, respectively, entitle Tenant to any refund, decrease in Base Rent, or any credit against sums due under this Lease. Landlord may revise the Annual Statement for any calendar year if (i) Landlord first receives invoices from third parties, tax bills or other information relating to adjustments to Operating Expenses or Tax Expenses allocable to such calendar year after the initial issuance of such Annual Statement and/or (ii) the amount of Operating Expenses or Tax Expenses allocable to the Base Expense Year or Base Tax Year, as applicable, is subsequently adjusted in accordance with this Section 5.2 or Section 5.3 below. Landlord’s failure or delay in providing Tenant with an Annual Statement for any calendar year shall not constitute a default by Landlord hereunder, or a waiver by Landlord of Tenant’s obligation to pay Escalation Rent for such calendar year or of Landlord’s right to send such Annual Statement on a later date. Tenant shall have ninety (90) days after receipt of an Annual Statement to notify Landlord in writing that Tenant disputes the correctness of the Annual Statement ("Expense Claim”). If Tenant does not object in writing to an Annual Statement within s lid ninety (90)-day period, such Annual Statement shall be final and binding upon Tenant. If Tenant delivers an Expense Claim to Landlord within said ninety (90)-day period, the parties shall promptly meet and attempt in good faith to resolve the matters set forth in the Expense Claim. If the parties are unable to resolve the matters set forth in the Expense Claim within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of the Expense Claim (“Expense Resolution Period”), then Tenant shall have the right to examine Landlord’s records, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 5.7 below. This Section 5.2 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

5.3Adjustments to Operating Expenses.

(a)If the Building is less than 100% occupied during any calendar year of the Term, including the Base Expense Year, Operating Expenses for such calendar year shall be adjusted to the amount of Operating Expenses that would have been incurred if the Building had been 100% occupied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, if in any calendar year subsequent to the Base Expense Year, the amount of Operating Expenses decreases below the amount of Operating Expenses allocable to the Base Expense Year, Tenant shall not be entitled to receive any refund or credit. In no event shall any adjustments to Operating Expenses in any calendar year result in Landlord receiving from Tenant and other tenants more than one hundred percent (100%) of the cost

22

---

 

of the actual Operating Expenses incurred by Landlord in any such calendar year and Landlord shall not make a profit by charging items to Operating Expenses; provided that, this sentence shall not limit Landlord’s ability to include in Operating Expenses the management fee set forth in the definition of Operating Expenses. Base Year Expenses shall not include market-wide cost increases (including utility rate increases) due to extraordinary circumstances, including, but not limited to, Force Majeure Events, boycotts, strikes, conservation surcharges, embargoes or shortages.

(b)Landlord reserves the right, in good faith, to establish classifications for the equitable allocation of Operating Expenses that are incurred for the direct benefit of specific types of tenants or users of the Project (“Cost Pools”). Such Cost Pools may include an allocation of Operating Expenses for access control to the west side of the Building and services only provided to occupants in the west side of the Building, or to retail tenants within the Project. Landlord’s determination of such allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with its good faith business judgment as to the management of the Project and shall be final and binding on Tenant. Tenant acknowledges that the allocation of Operating Expenses among Cost Pools does not affect all such items and is limited to specific items that are incurred or provided to tenants of Cost Pools which Landlord determines, in good faith, it would be inequitable to share, in whole or in part, among tenants of other Cost Pools in the Building, or among the buildings comprising the Project.

5.4Intentionally Omitted.

5.5Payment of Tax Expenses in Installments. If, by law, any Tax Expenses may be paid in installments (whether or not interest accrues on the unpaid balance), then, for any calendar year (including the Base Tax Year), Landlord shall include in the calculation of such Tax Expenses only the amount of the installments (with any interest) due and payable during such year had Landlord selected the longest permissible period of payment, provided that following the retirement or completed payment of any such Tax Expenses, the amount of Tax Expenses allocable to the Base Tax Year shall be adjusted to eliminate that portion included therein, if any, that related to such retired or paid Tax Expenses.

5.6Proration for Partial Year. If this Lease terminates other than on the last day of a calendar year (other than due to an Event of Default), the amount of Escalation Rent for such fractional calendar year shall be prorated on the basis of twelve (12), 30-day months in each calendar year. Up™ such termination, Landlord may, at its option, calculate the adjustment in Escalation Rent prior to the time specified in Section 5,2 above

5.7Inspection of Landlord’s Records.

(a)Independent Review. Provided that Tenant has timely delivered an Expense Claim to Landlord, Tenant or a certified public accountant engaged by Tenant (“Tenant’s CPA”) shall have the right, at Tenant’s cost and expense, to examine, inspect, and copy the records of Landlord concerning the components of Escalation Rent, Operating Expenses and/or Tax Expenses (“Landlord’s Records”) for the calendar year in question that are disputed in the Expense Claim (“Tenant’s Review”). Any examination of Landlord’s Records shall take place upon reasonable prior written notice, at the offices of Landlord or Landlord’s property manager, during normal business hours, no later than two hundred forty (240) days after expiration of the Expense Resolution Period. Tenant’s CPA engaged to inspect Landlord’s records shall be compensated on an hourly basis and shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Tenant agrees to keep, and to cause Tenant’s CPA to keep, all information obtained by Tenant or Tenant’s CPA confidential, and Landlord may require all persons inspecting Landlord’s records to sign a commercially reasonable confidentiality agreement prior to making Landlord’s Records available to them. In no event shall Tenant be permitted to examine Landlord’s Records or dispute any Annual Statement unless Tenant has paid and continues to pay all Rent (including the amount disputed in the Expense Claim) when due.

23

---

 

(b)Landlord’s Dispute. If Landlord disputes the results of any Tenant’s Review, Landlord shall provide written notice of such dispute and Landlord and Tenant shall promptly thereafter work in good faith in an attempt to address Landlord’s dispute for a period of thirty (30) days after completion of Tenant’s Review (the “Landlord’s Dispute Period”). If Landlord and Tenant are unable to resolve Landlord’s dispute within Landlord’s Dispute Period, Landlord may provide Tenant written notice within fifteen (15) days after the Landlord’s Dispute Period of its election to seek resolution of the dispute by an Independent CPA (as defined below) together with a list of five (5) independent, certified public accounting firms that are not currently providing, and have not within the three (3) previous years provided, services to Landlord or Tenant or any entity Controlling, Controlled by or under common Control of Landlord or Tenant. All of the firms shall be nationally or regionally recognized firms with annual revenues in excess of Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000.00) during the preceding two (2) fiscal years and have experience in accounting related to commercial office buildings. In order to accommodate the foregoing, Tenant shall provide Landlord, within five (5) days after request, a complete list of all certified public accounting firms that are currently providing, or have within the three (3) previous years provided, services to Tenant or any entity Controlling, Controlled by or under common Control of Tenant. Landlord’s failure to deliver a notice of dispute and such list of accounting firms within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s Dispute Period shall be deemed to be Landlord’s acceptance of the results of Tenant’s Review. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the list of accounting firms from Landlord, Tenant shall choose one of the five (5) firms by written notice to Landlord, which firm is referred to herein as the “Independent CPA”. The Independent CPA shall examine and inspect the records of Landlord concerning the components of Operating Expenses and/or Tax Expenses for the calendar year in question and the results of Tenant’s Review and make a determination regarding the accuracy of Tenant’s Review. If the Independent CPA’s determination shows that Tenant has overpaid with respect to Escalation Rent, by more than five percent (5%), then Landlord shall pay all actual, reasonable costs associated with the Independent CPA’s review and if less than five percent (5%) such costs shall be shared equally by Landlord and Tenant. The determination of the Independent CPA shall be final and binding upon Landlord and Tenant.

(c)Adjustments following Tenant’s Review. If the Independent CPA (or. if Landlord does not dispute Tenant's Review as provided in Section 5.7(b) above, Tenant's Review) shows that the payments made by Tenant with respect to Escalation Rent for the calendar year in question exceeded the actual amount of Escalation Rent due from Tenant for such calendar year, Landlord shall at Landlord's option either (a) credit the excess amount to the next succeeding installments of estimated Escalation Rent or (b) pay the excess to Tenant within thirty (30) days after delivery of the determination of the Independent CPA (or, if Landlord does not dispute Tenant Review, after delivery of Tenant’s Review), except that after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Landlord shall pay the excess to Tenant within thirty (30) days after such determination. If the Independent CPA (or, if Landlord does not dispute Tenant’s Review as provided in Section 5.7(b) above, Tenant’s Review) shows that Tenant’s payment of Escalation Rent for the calendar year was less than the actual amount of Escalation Rent due from Tenant for such calendar year, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord within thirty (30) days after delivery of the determination of the Independent CPA (or, if Landlord does not dispute Tenant Review, after delivery of Tenant’s Review).

5.8Operating of Building. Subject to operation, repair and maintenance of the Project in a manner commensurate with other Comparable Buildings and the occupancy requirements of any Landlord Entities occupying more than fifty percent (50%) of the west side of the Building, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to reduce Operating Expenses.

6.Impositions Payable by Tenant. Tenant shall pay all Impositions, if levied upon Tenant directly, prior to delinquency. If billed directly, Tenant shall pay such Impositions and concurrently present to Landlord satisfactory evidence of such payments. If any Impositions are billed to Landlord or included in bills to Landlord for Tax Expenses, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord all such amounts within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s invoice therefor. If Applicable Law prohibits Tenant from reimbursing Landlord for an Imposition, but Landlord may lawfully increase the Base Rent to account for Landlord’s payment of such Imposition, the Base Rent payable to Landlord shall be increased to net to Landlord the same return without reimbursement of such Imposition as would have been received by Landlord with reimbursement of such Imposition.

7.Use of Premises.

7.1Permitted Use. The Premises shall be used solely for the Permitted Use and for no other use or purpose, subject to the limitations and restrictions of this Article 7.

7.2No Violation of Requirements. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done, or bring or keep or permit to be brought or kept, in or about the Premises, or any other portion of the Project, anything which (a) is prohibited by, will in any way conflict with, or would invalidate any Requirements; or (b) would cause a cancellation of any insurance policy carried by Landlord or Tenant, or give rise to any defense by an insurer to any claim under any such policy of insurance, or adversely affect any insurance policy carried by Landlord (provided, that Landlord agrees that use of the Premises by Tenant for ordinary office use will not cause the cancellation of any of Landlord’s insurance policies, give rise to any such defense of Landlord’s insurers, or adversely affect any insurance policy carried by Landlord), or subject Landlord to any liability or responsibility for injury to any person or property; or (c) will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the Project, including, without limitation and Landlord Entity, or injure or annoy them. If Tenant does or permits anything to be done which increases the cost of any policy of insurance carried by Landlord, or which results in the need, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, for additional insurance to be carried by Landlord or Tenant with respect to any portion of the Project, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, upon demand, for any such additional premiums or costs, and/or procure such additional insurance, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, provided that Landlord agrees that ordinary office use of the Premises by Tenant shall not increase the cost of any policy of insurance carried by Landlord and will not result in the need for additional insurance— to be carried by Landlord. Invocation by Landlord of such right shall not limit or preclude Landlord fi prohibiting Tenant s impermissible use that gives rise to the additional insurance premium or requirement or from invoking any other right or remedy available to Landlord under this Lease. Tenant shall not bring into the Premises or any portion thereof, any furniture, fixtures and/or equipment, and/or make any Alterations to the Premises, the aggregate weight of which would exceed the specified live load capacity of the floor or floors on which the Premises is located.

7.3Compliance with Requirements.

(a)Tenant Compliance. Tenant, at its cost and expense, shall promptly comply with all Requirements applicable to Tenant’s use or occupancy of, or business conducted in, the Premises, and shall maintain the Premises and all portions thereof in compliance with all applicable Requirements; provided, however, Tenant shall not be required to make any changes to the Premises required to comply with any Requirements unless, and to the extent, necessitated by (i) Tenant’s use or occupancy of, or business conducted in, the Premises other than for general office use, or (ii) any Alterations. Landlord will cooperate with Tenant as reasonably necessary in order to obtain any necessary permits or licenses in order to enable Tenant to use the Premises for the Permitted Use, at no cost to Landlord. Tenant’s indemnity set forth in Section 16.2 below shall also apply with respect to any and all costs, losses, damages, injuries and liabilities related in any way to such cooperation by Landlord. Subject to this Section 7.3, Tenant shall, upon five (5) days’ written notice, discontinue any use of the Premises which is declared by any governmental authority having jurisdiction over such matters to be a violation of a Requirement. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction, or the admission of Tenant in any action or proceeding involving Tenant, whether or not Landlord is party thereto, that Tenant is in noncompliance with any Requirement shall be conclusive of that fact. In addition, Tenant shall make all modifications to any portion of the Project outside the Premises (including modifications that are structural or capital in nature), which are triggered by any of Tenant’s Alterations (excluding costs to correct violations of Requirements that existed on the Commencement Date). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.3(a) to the contrary, Tenant need not comply with any Requirements so long as Tenant is contesting the validity thereof or the applicability thereof in accordance with the remainder of this Section 7.3(a). Tenant, at its expense, after notice to Landlord, may contest by appropriate proceedings prosecuted diligently and in good faith, the validity or applicability of any Requirements with which Tenant is responsible for compliance hereunder, provided that (a) the condition which is the subject of such contest does not pose a danger to persons or property, (b) the certificate of occupancy or other occupancy permit for the Premises or the Project is neither subject to being suspended nor threatened to be suspended by reason of noncompliance or otherwise by reason of such contest, and (c) Landlord is not subject to criminal penalty or to prosecution for a crime by reason of Tenant’s non-compliance or otherwise by reason of such contest.

25

---

 

(b)Landlord Compliance. If the Building or Building systems do not comply in all material respects with all Requirements, then Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any damages, but as Tenant’s sole remedy, Landlord, at no cost to Tenant as to violations that exist as of the Commencement Date (including as Operating Expenses), or as part of Operating Expenses for violations that occur thereafter, shall perform such corrective work or take such other actions as may be necessary to cure any violation. Landlord shall not be responsible for any non-compliant condition that arises within the Premises due to the construction of any Alterations by Tenant or the installation of any of Tenant’s furniture, fixtures, equipment or property, or in the Common Areas triggered by the specific nature of Tenant’s Alterations, or that are due to Tenant’s particular use of the Premises or the particular manner in which Tenant conducts its business in the Premises. Landlord shall have the right to apply for and obtain a waiver or deferment of compliance, the right to contest any violation in good faith, including, but not limited to, the right to assert any and all defenses allowed by Requirements, and the right to appeal any decisions, judgments or rulings to the fullest extent permitted by Requirements, and Landlord's obligation to perform corrective work or take other action to cure a violation under this Section 7.3(b) shall not apply until after the exhaustion of any and all rights to appeal or contest.

7.4No Nuisance. Tenant shall not (i) do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises, or any other portion of the Project, which would injure or annoy, or obstruct or interfere with the rights of, Landlord or other occupants of the Project; (ii) use or allow the Premises to be used in any manner inappropriate based on uses permitted in an Owner Occupied First Class Office Building, or for any objectionable purposes, or do or permit any act which in Landlord’s reasonable judgment might damage the reputation of the Project; or (iii) cause, maintain or permit any nuisance or waste in, on or about the Premises, or any other portion of the Project.

7.5Compliance With Environmental Laws; Use of Hazardous Materials. Without limiting the generality of Section 7.3(a) above, Tenant and all other Tenant Parties shall at all times comply with all applicable Environmental Laws with respect to the use and occupancy of any portion of the Project pursuant to this Lease. Tenant and all other Tenant Parties shall not generate, store, handle, or otherwise use, or allow, the generation, storage, handling, or use of, Hazardous Materials in the Premises or transport the same through the Project, except in accordance with the Rules and Regulations and Environmental Laws. In the event of a release of any Hazardous Materials caused by, or due to the act or neglect of, Tenant or any other Tenant Parties, Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord and take such remedial actions as Landlord may direct in Landlord’s reasonable discretion as necessary or appropriate to ▇▇▇▇▇, remediate and/or clean up the same. If so elected by Landlord by notice to Tenant, Landlord shall take such reasonable remedial actions on behalf of Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. In any event, Landlord shall have the right, without liability or obligation to Tenant, to direct and/or supervise Tenant’s remedial actions and to specify the scope thereof and specifications therefor. Tenant and the other Tenant Parties shall use, handle, store and transport any Hazardous Materials in accordance with applicable Environmental Laws, and shall notify Landlord of any notice of violation of Environmental Laws which it receives from any governmental agency having jurisdiction. In no event shall Landlord be designated as the “generator” on, nor shall Landlord be responsible for preparing, any manifest relating to Hazardous Materials generated or used by Tenant or any other Tenant Parties.

7.6Sustainable Building Operations.

(a)Operation of Building. The Building is or may in the future become certified under any one or more Green Rating Systems or operated pursuant to Landlord’s sustainable building practices. Landlord’s sustainability practices address whole-building operations and maintenance issues, including, but not limited to, chemical use, indoor air quality, energy efficiency, water efficiency, recycling programs, transportation management programs, exterior maintenance programs, and systems upgrades to meet green building energy, water, indoor air quality, and lighting performance standards.

sufficient Net Worth and net current assets, to meet the financial and other obligations of this Lease or the sublease, as applicable; (v) if, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, the Transferee’s use and/or occupancy of the Premises would (1) violate any of the terms of this Lease or the lease of any other tenant in the Project, (2) not be comparable to and compatible with the types of use by other tenants in the Building, (3) fall within any category of use for which Landlord would not then lease space in the Building under its leasing guidelines and policies t i in effect, (4) require any Alterations which would reduce the value of the existing leasehold improvements in the Premises, or (5) result in increased density per floor or require increased services by Landlord over the levels permitted or required hereunder, respectively; (vi) in the case of a sublease, it would result in more than three (3) occupancies in any floor of the Premises; (vii) if in Landlord’s reasonable judgment the business reputation of the Transferee is not consistent with that of other tenants of the Building; or (viii) the Transferee is negotiating with Landlord or has negotiated with Landlord during the six (6) month period immediately preceding the date Landlord receives Tenant’s request for consent, to lease space in the Building.

Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all reasonable and actual costs and expenses incurred by Landlord due to a Transferee taking possession of the Premises, including freight elevator operation, security service, janitorial service and rubbish removal.

17.5Payment of Transfer Premium and Other Consideration.

The term “Transfer Premium” means all rent, additional rent or other consideration paid by such Transferee (including, but not limited to, payments in excess of fair market value for Tenant’s assets, trade fixtures, equipment and other personal property) for the Subject Space in excess of the Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease (on a monthly basis during the Term, and on a per rentable square foot basis, if less than all of the Premises is Transferred), after deducting Permitted Transfer Costs.

For purposes of calculating the Transfer Premium when the Transfer Premium is not paid to Tenant in a lump sum, all Permitted Transfer Costs shall be amortized on a straight-line basis, without interest, over the relevant term of the Transfer. If part of the consideration for such Transfer shall be payable other than in cash, Landlord's share of such non-cash

42

In the case of an assignment, Tenant and the assignee shall be jointly and severally liable for payment of any Transfer Premium. Tenant shall furnish upon Landlord’s request, a complete statement, certified by an independent certified public accountant, or Tenant’s chief financial officer, setting forth in detail the computation of any Transfer Premium Tenant has derived and will derive from such Transfer.

(b)Audit. Upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall provide Landlord with reasonable documentation of Tenant’s calculation of the Transfer Premium. Landlord or its authorized representatives shall have the right at all reasonable times with advance written notice to Tenant to audit the books, records and papers of Tenant relating to an assignment or sublease, and shall have the right to make copies thereof, subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth herein and during normal business hours, and provided that no period may be audited more than once. If the Transfer Premium respecting any Transfer shall be found to be understated, Tenant shall pay the deficiency within thirty (30) days after demand, and if understated by more than five percent (5%), Tenant shall pay the costs of Landlord’s audit.

17.6Assumption of Obligations; Further Restrictions on Subletting. Each assignee shall, concurrently with any assignment, assume all obligations of Tenant under this Lease. Each sublease shall be made subject to this Lease and all of the terms, covenants and conditions contained herein. The surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation thereof, or the termination of this Lease in accordance with its terms, shall not work a merger and shall, at the option of Landlord, terminate all or any existing subleases or operate as an assignment to Landlord of any or all such subleases. No sublessee (other than Landlord) shall have the right further to sublet. Any assignment by a sublessee of its sublease shall be subject to Landlord’s prior consent in the same manner as an assignment by Tenant. No sublease, once consented to by Landlord, shall be modified or terminated (other than pursuant to the express terms thereof) without Landlord’s prior consent. No assignment or sublease shall be binding on Landlord unless the transferee delivers to Landlord a fully executed counterpart of the assignment or sublease which contains (i) in the case of an assignment, the assumption by the assignee as required under this Section, or (ii) in the case of a sublease, recognition by the sublessee, of the provisions of this Section 17.6, and which assignment or sublease shall otherwise be in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, but the failure or refusal of a transferee to deliver such instrument shall not release or discharge such transferee from the provisions and obligations of this Section 17.6, and shall constitute an Event of Default.

17.7Landlord’s Recapture Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord shall have the following option with respect to any assignment, sublease or other transfer (other than to a Related Company) proposed by Tenant:

(a)Recapture Notice. By written notice to Tenant (the “Recapture Notice”) within thirty (30) days after receiving Tenant’s written request for consent to any Transfer to recapture the Subject Space, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease with respect to the Subject Space. A timely Recapture Notice terminates this Lease with respect to the Subject Space, effective as of the effective date of transfer specified in Tenant's written request to Landlord for consent to any Transfer. After such termination, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to) enter into a lease with the party to the Transfer proposed by Tenant.

43

---

 

(b)Recalculation of Base Rent. To determine the new Base Rent under this Lease in the event Landlord recaptures the Subject Space without terminating this Lease as to all of the Premises, the original Base Rent under the Lease shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the RSF of the Premises retained by Tenant after Landlord’s recapture and the denominator of which is the total RSF of the Premises before Landlord’s recapture. Additional Rent and the Deposit Amount, to the extent that it is calculated on the basis of the RSF of the Premises, shall be reduced to reflect Tenant’s proportionate share based on the RSF of the Premises retained by Tenant after Landlord’s recapture. This Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and affect. Either party may require a written confirmation of the amendments to this Lease necessitated by Landlord’s recapture of the Subject Space. If Landlord recaptures the Subject Space, Landlord shall, at Tenant’s sole expense, construct any partitions required to segregate the Subject Space from the remaining Premises retained by Tenant.

17.8No Release. No assignment or sublease shall release Tenant from its obligations under this Lease, whether arising before or after the assignment or sublease. The acceptance of Rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Article 17. On an Event of Default by any assignee of Tenant in the performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against such assignee. No consent by Landlord to any further assignments or sublettings of this Lease, or to any modification, amendment or termination of this Lease, or to any extension, waiver or modification of payment or any other obligations under this Lease, or any other action by Landlord with respect to any assignee or sublessee, or the insolvency, bankruptcy or Event of Default of any such assignee or sublessee, shall affect the continuing liability of Tenant for its obligations under this Lease, and Tenant waives any defense arising out of or based thereon, including any suretyship defense of exoneration. Landlord shall have no obligation to notify Tenant or obtain Tenant’s consent with respect to any of the foregoing matters.

17.9No Encumbrance; No Change in Permitted Use. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 17, (i) Tenant shall have no right to encumber, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer this Lease, or any of Tenant’s interest or rights hereunder, as security for any obligation or liability of Tenant, and (ii) Tenant shall have no right to propose (and Landlord shall have no obligation to consider or approve) any assignment or subletting which entails any change in the Permitted Use. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant expressly agrees that Tenant shall not, and Tenant has no right to, encumber, pledge, or hypothecate any Alterations, including fixtures.

17.10Right to Assign or Sublease Without Landlord’s Consent.

(a)Sale of Stock on Public Exchange. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 17.1 above, the provisions of this Article shall not apply to (i) the transfer of stock in Tenant so long as Tenant is a publicly traded corporation, which stock is listed on a national or regional stock exchange or over the counter stock exchange, or (ii) the issuance of stock in Tenant in a public offering.

(b)Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 17.1 above, Tenant shall have the right, without Landlord’s consent, but with prior notice to Landlord, to assign this Lease to, or sublease the Premises to, or permit occupancy of the Premises by, a Related Company; provided that (i) the original Tenant named herein or a Related Company shall be the assignor or sublessor; (ii) at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of the assignment or sublease, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with the name of the transferee and a written certification from an officer of Tenant certifying that the assignment or sublease qualifies as a transaction under this Section 17.10(b); (iii) the assignment or sublease under this Section 17.10(b) is made for a good faith operating business purpose and not as a subterfuge to evade the obligations and restrictions relating to transfers set forth in this Article 17; (iv) the proposed transferee’s use of the Premises shall be the Permitted Use; (v) in the case of an assignment, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, prior to the effective date of the assignment, an agreement, in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, evidencing the assignment and assumption by the assignee of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; and (vi) in the case of a sublease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, prior to the effective date of the sublease, an agreement, in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, evidencing the assumption by the subtenant of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease with respect to the subleased premises. The effectuation of any transaction under this Section 17.10(b) shall be subject to Sections 17.4, 17.6, 17.8 and 17.9 above, but shall not be subject to compliance with Sections 17.5 or Section 17.7 above.

18.Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall observe and comply, and shall cause the other Tenant Parties to observe and comply, with the Rules and Regulations, and, after notice thereof, with all reasonable, non-discriminatory modifications and additions thereto from time to time promulgated in writing by Landlord. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant, or any of the other Tenant Parties, for noncompliance with any Rules and Regulations by any other tenant, sublessee, or other occupant of the Project and their respective employees, agents, contractors, licensees, invitees, representatives, officers, directors, shareholders, partners, and members. Landlord shall enforce the Rules and Regulations against all occupants of the Project in a nondiscriminatory manner.

19.Entry of Premises by Landlord; Modification to Common Areas.

19.1Entry of Premises. Subject to the conditions below and Tenant’s reasonable security requirements and procedures, including without limitation, the requirement to execute Tenant’s commercially reasonable nondisclosure agreement (provided that janitorial or maintenance contractors employed by Landlord in the operation and maintenance of the Building may execute a single commercially reasonable nondisclosure agreement covering all of their employees and agents who will have access to the Premises), Landlord and its authorized agents, employees, and contractors may, upon not less than one (1) Business Days’ prior notice thereof to Tenant (except in the event of an emergency, regularly scheduled maintenance or janitorial services, or in response to a specific Tenant request for service), enter the Premises at reasonable times, to: (i) inspect the same; (ii) exhibit the same to prospective purchasers, Encumbrancers or tenants; (iii) supply any services to be provided by Landlord hereunder; (iv) post notices of nonresponsibility or other notices permitted or required by law; and (v) make repairs, improvements or alterations, or perform maintenance in or to, the Premises or any other portion of the Project, including the Building Systems. Landlord may also grant access to the Premises to government or utility representatives and bring and use on or about the Premises such equipment as Landlord deems reasonably necessary to accomplish the purposes of Landlord’s entry under this Section 19.1. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with the operation of Tenant’s business at the Premises to the extent reasonably practicable during any entry by Landlord or Landlord’s agents, employees, and contractors upon the Premises. Landlord shall have and retain keys with which to unlock all of the doors in or to the Premises, and Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means which Landlord may deem proper in an emergency in order to obtain entry to the Premises, including secure areas. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord requires entry to the Premises (other than in event of an emergency) with any third parties other than those persons who provide routine or regularly scheduled services or property management services to the Building, Landlord shall notify Tenant as required by this Section and Tenant reserves the right (to be exercised at the time of Landlord’s notice of such entry) to designate a representative of Tenant to accompany Landlord and such third parties during such entry upon the Premises.

19.2Modifications to Common Areas. Landlord shall have the right, in its sole discretion, from time to time, to: (i) make changes to the Common Areas and/or the Project, including without limitation, changes in the location, size, shape and number of any Common Area amenity installation or improvement, such as the driveways, entrances, Parking Facility, ingress, egress, direction of driveways, entrances, hallways, corridors, lobby areas and walkways; (iii) close temporarily any of the Common Areas and/or the Project for maintenance purposes so long as reasonable access to the Premises remains available; (iv) add additional buildings and improvements to the Common Areas and/or the Project (including, without limitation, elevators, stairways and stairwells, etc.) or remove existing buildings or improvements therefrom; (v) use the Common Areas and/or the Project while engaged in making additional improvements, repairs or alterations to the Project or any portion thereof; and (vi) do and perform any other acts, alter or expand, or make any other changes in, to or with respect to the Common Areas and/or the Project as Landlord may, in its sole discretion, deem to be appropriate; provided, however, Tenant shall at all times have reasonable access to the Premises. Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord reserves the right from time to time to install, use, maintain, repair, relocate and replace pipes, ducts, conduits, wires, and appurtenant meters and equipment for service to the Premises or to other parts of the Project which are above the ceiling surfaces, below the floor surfaces, within the walls and in the central core areas of the Project that are located within the Premises or located elsewhere in the Project. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with the operation of Tenant’s business at the Premises to the extent reasonably practicable during the performance

45

---

 

of such work. In addition, Landlord shall have the right to utilize portions of the Common Areas from time to time for entertainment, displays, product shows, leasing of kiosks or such other uses that in Landlord’s sole judgment tend to attract the public. Upon ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to Tenant, Landlord also shall have the right to modify Tenant’s signage on the building directory as set forth in Section 31.1 to conform to any alterations to the overall design for the Project made by Landlord.

19.3Waiver of Claims. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord, in connection with Landlord’s activities under this Article 19, may, among other things, erect scaffolding or other necessary structures in the Premises and/or the Project, limit or    eliminate access to portions of the Project, including portions of the Common Areas, or perform work in the Premises and/or the Project, which work may create noise, dust, vibration, odors or leave debris in the Premises and/or the Project. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with the operation of Tenant’s business at the Premises to the extent reasonably practicable during any entry by Landlord or Landlord’s agents, employees, and contractors upon the Premises. Without limiting the generality of Section 15 above and Landlord’s obligation to use such commercially reasonable efforts to minimize such interference, so long as Tenant has access to the Premises at all times, Tenant hereby agrees that Landlord’s activities under this Article 19 shall in no way constitute an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant nor entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent. Without limiting Section 15 above, Section 22.2 below or Landlord’s obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with the operation of Tenant’s business at the Premises to the extent reasonably practicable as set forth above, so long as Tenant has access to the Premises at all times and Tenant’s use of the Premises has not been unreasonably diminished, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any direct or indirect injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising from Landlord’s activities under this Article 19, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the whole or any part of the Premises or loss of use of Tenant’s personal property or improvements resulting from Landlord’s activities hereunder, or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such activities, unless such damages were caused by Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

20.Default and Remedies.

20.1Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following events shall 11 constitute an "Event of Default” by Tenant:

(i)Tenant fails to pay any Rent when due, unless such failure is cured within three (3) Business Days after notice of such default from Landlord to Tenant; provided however, an Event of Default shall occur hereunder without any obligation of Landlord to give any notice if Tenant fails to make any payment within three (3) Business Days after Landlord has given Tenant written notice under this Section 20.1(i) on more than one (1) occasion during the twelve (12)-month interval preceding such failure by Tenant; or

(ii)Tenant fails to obtain Landlord’s prior written consent to any Transfer in violation of Article 17; or

(iii)Tenant fails to deliver evidence of insurance, an estoppel certificate, or financial statements to Landlord within the time periods required by Article 14 and Sections 23.1 and 33.20, respectively, unless such failure to delivery is cured within five (5) Business Days of Landlord’s notice of such default to Tenant; or

(iv)Tenant fails to remove any lien or encumbrance arising out of any work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by Tenant within the time period required by Article 11, unless such failure is cured within five (5) Business Days of Landlord’s notice of such default to Tenant; or

46

---

 

(v)Tenant fails to observe or perform any other agreement or covenant of this Lease, and such failure continues for more than thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord; provided that if such failure cannot reasonably be cured within a thirty (30)-day period, an Event of Default shall not be deemed to have occurred if Tenant promptly commences such cure within said period of thirty (30) days, thereafter diligently pursues and completes such cure within sixty (60) days after Landlord’s written notice; or

(vi)Tenant (i) files, or consents by answer or otherwise to the filing against it of, a petition for relief or reorganization or arrangement or any other petition in bankruptcy or for liquidation or to take advantage of any bankruptcy, insolvency or other debtors’ relief law of any jurisdiction, (ii) makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or (iii) consents to the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers with respect to such person or entity or with respect to any substantial part of their respective property; or

(vii)Without consent by Tenant, a court or government authority enters an order, and such order is not vacated within thirty (30) days, (i) appointing a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers with respect to such person or entity or with respect to any substantial part of their respective property, or (ii) constituting an order for relief or approving a petition for relief or reorganization or arrangement or any other petition in bankruptcy or for liquidation or to take advantage of any bankruptcy, insolvency or other debtors’ relief law of any jurisdiction, or (iii) ordering the dissolution, winding-up or liquidation of such person or entity; or

(viii)This Lease or any estate of Tenant hereunder is levied upon under any attachment or execution and such attachment or execution is not vacated within thirty (30) days. If Tenant defaults beyond the applicable notice and cure periods above under any particular provision of this Lease on two (2) separate occasions during any 12-month period, Tenant’s subsequent violation of such provision shall, at Landlord's option, be an incurable Event of Default. The no*'^ periods provided in Section 20, Kit through Section 20.1(viii) above are in lieu of, and not in additional to any notice periods provided by Applicable Law, and Landlord shall not be required to give any additional notice in order to be entitled to commence an unlawful detainer proceeding.

20.2Landlord’s Remedies Upon Occurrence of Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Landlord shall have, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity (which shall be cumulative and nonexclusive), the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies (which shall be cumulative and nonexclusive) without any notice or demand:

(a)Termination. Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy it may have for possession or arrearages in Rent, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim or damages therefor; and Landlord may recover from Tenant the following:

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

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

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

47

---

 

(iv)Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom; and

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

As used in Sections 20.2(a)(i) and (h) above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at the Interest Rate. As used in Section (iii) above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus 1%. For the purpose of determining unpaid Rent under Sections 20.2(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) above, the Rent reserved in this Lease shall be deemed to be the total Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease. For purposes of computing the amount of Rent hereunder that would have accrued after the time of award, the amount of increases in Escalation Rent shall be projected based upon the average rate of increase, if any, in Escalation Rent through the time of award.

(b)Civil Code Section 1951.4. Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after lessee’s breach and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). Accordingly, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Tenant, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all Rent as it becomes due.

(c)Other Remedies. Landlord shall at all times have the rights and remedies (which shall be cumulative with each other and cumulative and in addition to those rights and remedies available under Sections 20.2(a) and 20.2(b). above, or any Applicable Law or other provision of this Lease), without prior demand or notice except as required by Applicable Law, to seek any declaratory, injunctive or other equitable relief, and specifically enforce this Lease, or restrain or enjoin a violation or breach of any provision hereof.

20.3Sublease of Tenant. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease on account of any Event of Default as set forth in this Article 20, Landlord shall have the right, to (a) terminate any sublease, license, concession or other occupancy agreement entered into by Tenant and affecting the Premises, or, in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, or (b) succeed to Tenant’s interest in such subleases, licenses, concessions or other agreements. If Landlord elects to succeed to Tenant’s interest in any such subleases, licenses, concessions or other agreements, Tenant shall, as of the date of Landlord’s notice of such election, have no further right to or interest in the Rent or other consideration receivable thereunder.

20.4Effort to Relet. Unless Landlord provides Tenant with express written notice to the contrary, no re-entry, repossession, repair, maintenance, change, alteration, addition, reletting, appointment of a receiver or other action or omission by Landlord shall (a) be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, or to accept a surrender of the Premises, or (b) operate to release Tenant from any of its obligations hereunder.

20.5Landlord’s Right to Cure Defaults. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord may, at its option, take any reasonable action to cure the Event of Default, without waiving its rights and remedies against Tenant or releasing Tenant from any of its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in the event of an emergency or other circumstance in which Tenant’s failure to take immediate action may result in injury to persons or damage to property, Landlord may, at its option, take any reasonable action to perform any obligation of Tenant, after first giving such prior notice to Tenant and an opportunity for Tenant to cure as may be reasonable under the circumstances. All reasonable out-of-pocket costs actually paid by Landlord in performing Tenant’s obligations as set forth in this Section 20.5 plus a supervision fee equal to five percent (5%) of the first $100,000 in costs of performing the obligation and one percent (1%) of costs in excess of $100,000, shall be paid by

48

---

 

Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after demand. If Landlord enters the Premises, or any portion thereof, in order to effect cure hereunder, Tenant waives all Claims which may be caused by Landlord’s so entering the Premises, and Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold Landlord, and the other Indemnitees harmless from and against third party Claims resulting from any actions of Landlord to perform obligations on behalf of Tenant hereunder, except in each case to the extent due to any gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Landlord or any other Indemnitee(s). No entry by Landlord to the Premises or obligations performed by Landlord in the Premises under this Section 20.5 shall constitute a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant from the Premises, or any portion thereof.

20.6Waiver of Forfeiture. Tenant hereby waives, for Tenant and for all those claiming by, through or under Tenant, the provisions of Section 3275 of the California Civil Code and Sections 1174(c) and 1179 of the California Code of Civil Procedure and any rights, now or hereafter existing, to redeem or reinstate, by order or judgment of any court or by any legal process or writ, this Lease or Tenant’s right of occupancy of the Premises after any termination of this Lease.

20.7Landlord’s Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, Landlord shall not be in default in the performance of any obligation required to be performed by Landlord pursuant to this Lease unless Landlord fails to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after the receipt by Landlord of written notice from Tenant specifying in detail Landlord's alleged failure to perform; provided, however, if the nature of Landlord's obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, then Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease if the commences such performance within such thirty (30)-day period and thereafter diligently pursues the same to completion. Except any termination rights expressly set forth in this Lease, in no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate or rescind this Lease as a result of Landlord’s failure to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Lease. Tenant hereby waives such remedies of termination and rescission and hereby agrees that Tenant’s remedies for Landlord’s failure to perform hereunder and for breach of any promise or inducement shall be limited to the remedies set forth in this Section 20.7 and suit for damages and/or injunction.

21.Subordination, Attornment and Nondisturbance.

21.1Subordination and Attornment. Landlord represents that the Project is currently not encumbered by any Encumbrances as of the Lease Date. This Lease and all of Tenant’s rights hereunder shall be automatically subordinate to any and all Encumbrances, to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof, and to any and all advances made or hereafter made on the security thereof or Landlord’s interest therein, unless an Encumbrancer requires in writing that this Lease be superior to its Encumbrance; provided, that, so long as Tenant is not in default under the Lease beyond any applicable cure period, its right to possession and the other terms of the Lease shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or other exercise of remedies by the holder of any Encumbrance and the subordination of this Lease to any future Encumbrance shall be subject to Tenant’s receipt of a commercially reasonable nondisturbance agreement from the Encumbrancer. If any proceeding is brought for the foreclosure of any such Encumbrance (or if by deed in lieu of foreclosure the Property is obtained by Encumbrancer or any purchaser, or if any ground lease is terminated), then (i) Tenant shall attorn, without any deductions or set-offs whatsoever, to the Encumbrancer or purchaser or any successors thereto upon any foreclosure sale or deed in lieu thereof (or to the ground lessor) and (ii) Tenant shall recognize such purchaser or Encumbrancer as the “Landlord” under this Lease, provided that such Encumbrancer agrees not to disturb Tenant’s possession of the Premises so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond any applicable cure period. Landlord’s interest herein may be assigned as security at any time to any Encumbrancer. The provisions of this Section 21.1 shall be self-operative without execution of any further instruments; provided, however, within ten (10) Business Days after request by Landlord or any Encumbrancer, Tenant shall execute such further commercially reasonable instruments or assurances which are consistent with the provisions of this Article 21 to evidence or confirm the subordination or superiority of this Lease to any such Encumbrance; provided, that, such instrument or assurance shall provide that so long as Tenant is not in default under the Lease beyond any applicable cure period, its right to possession and the other terms of the Lease shall remain in

49

---

 

full force and effect notwithstanding any foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or other exercise of remedies by the holder of any Encumbrance. Tenant waives the provisions of any Requirement which may give or purport to give Tenant any right or election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of the Tenant hereunder in the event of any foreclosure proceeding, deed in lieu thereof or sale. Tenant agrees with Encumbrancer that if Encumbrancer or any foreclosure sale purchaser shall succeed to the interest of Landlord under this Lease, Encumbrancer shall not be (i) liable for any action or omission of any prior Landlord under this Lease (except for any acts or omissions of which Encumbrancer had received notice in writing, and are continuing), (ii) subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against any prior Landlord (except for any offsets or defenses of which Encumbrancer had received notice in writing, and are continuing), (iii) bound by any Rent which Tenant might have paid for more than the current month to any prior Landlord, or (iv) liable for any Deposit or Letter of Credit (each as defined below) not actually received by such Encumbrancer. Tenant agrees that the foregoing list may be expanded in connection with the execution of a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement by and among Landlord, Tenant and Encumbrancer, to include additional commercially reasonable limitations on the Encumbrancer's liability.

21.2Notice to Encumbrancer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, including, without limitation, Article 28, upon receipt by Tenant of notice from any Encumbrancer or from Landlord, which notice sets forth the address of such Encumbrancer, no notice from Tenant to Landlord shall be effective unless and until a copy of the same is given to such Encumbrancer at the appropriate address therefor (as specified in the above-described notice or at such other places as may be designated from time to time in a notice to Tenant in accordance with Article 28), and the curing of any of Landlord’s defaults by such Encumbrancer within a reasonable period of time after such notice from Tenant (including a reasonable period of time to obtain possession of the Building if such Encumbrancer elects to do so) shall be treated as performance by Landlord.

21.3Rent Payment Direction. From and after Tenant’s receipt of written notice from an Encumbrancer or from a receiver appointed pursuant to the terms of an Encumbrance (a “Rent Payment Direction”), Tenant shall pay all Rent under this Lease to such Encumbrancer or as such Encumbrancer shall direct in writing. Tenant shall comply with any Rent Payment Direction notwithstanding any contrary instruction, direction or assertion from Landlord. An Encumbrancer’s delivery to Tenant of a Rent Payment Direction, or Tenant’s compliance therewith, shall not be deemed to: (i) cause such Encumbrancer to succeed to or to assume any obligations or responsibilities of Landlord under this Lease, all of which shall continue to be performed and discharged solely by Landlord unless and until such Encumbrancer or a foreclosure sale purchaser succeeds to Landlord’s interest hereunder, or (ii) relieve Landlord of any obligations under this Lease. Tenant shall be entitled to rely on any Rent Payment Direction, and Landlord irrevocably directs Tenant to comply with any Rent Payment Direction, notwithstanding any contrary direction, instruction, or assertion by Landlord.

22.Sale or Transfer by Landlord; Lease Non-Recourse.

22.1Release of Landlord on Transfer. Landlord may at any time transfer, in whole or in part, its right, title and interest under this Lease and/or in the Project, or any portion thereof. If the original Landlord hereunder, or any successor to such original Landlord, transfers (by sale, assignment or otherwise) its right, title or interest in the Building and such successor accepts, all liabilities and obligations of the original Landlord or such successor under this Lease, from and after the date of such transfer, shall terminate as of the date of such transfer, the original Landlord or such successor shall automatically be released therefrom as of the date of such transfer, and thereupon all such liabilities and obligations from and after the date of such transfer shall only be binding upon the new owner. Tenant shall attorn to each such new owner. If in connection with any transfer effected by the then Landlord hereunder, such Landlord transfers any Security Deposit, Letter of Credit or other security provided by Tenant to Landlord for the performance of any obligation of Tenant under this Lease, then such Landlord shall be released from any further responsibility or liability for such Deposit, Letter of Credit or other security.

22.2Lease Nonrecourse to Landlord; Limitation of Liability. Landlord’s liability to Tenant for any default by Landlord under this Lease or arising in connection herewith or with Landlord’s operation, management, leasing, repair, renovation, alteration or any other matter relating to the Project or the Premises shall be limited solely and exclusively to an amount that is equal to the lesser of (i) the interest of Landlord in the Project including without limitation rents and condemnation and insurance proceeds from the Project, and Landlord’s equity interest in the Project, or (ii) the equity interest Landlord would have in the Project if the Project were encumbered by third-party debt in an amount equal to eighty percent (80%) of the fair market value of the Project.

25.Holding Over. No holding over by Tenant past the Expiration Date shall operate to extend the Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant gives Landlord not less than twelve (12) months prior written notice, Tenant will have the one time right to hold over possession of the entire Premises for one calendar month on all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, except that Base Rent for said one month period of holdover shall be increased to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent in effect during the last month of the Term and the terms of the following three sentences shall not apply. Subject to the foregoing, if Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after expiration or termination of this Lease: (i) Tenant shall become a tenant at sufferance upon all the applicable terms and conditions of this Lease, except that Base Rent shall be increased to the greater of (a) one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent in effect for the last month of the Term, and (b) one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the fair market rental value of the Premises (as evidenced by the rental rates then being offered by Landlord for comparable space in the Building) during such period. In addition to the foregoing, Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Landlord, the other Indemnitees, and any tenant to whom Landlord has leased all or part of the Premises from Claims (including loss of rent loss to Landlord or additional rent payable by such tenant and reasonable attorneys’ fees) suffered or incurred by Landlord, such other Indemnitees, or such tenant resulting from Tenant’s failure timely to vacate the Premises; and (iii) such holding over by Tenant shall constitute an Event of Default. Landlord’s acceptance of Rent if and after Tenant holds over shall not convert Tenant’s tenancy at sufferance to any other form of tenancy or result in a renewal or extension of the Term of this Lease, unless otherwise specified by written notice from Landlord to Tenant. Within ten (10) business days after Tenant’s request, Landlord shall provide Tenant a written notice setting forth any leases or other occupancy agreements for the Premises or any portion thereof entered into by Landlord as of the date of such request and which will commence after the expiration of the term of this Lease and for which Landlord may suffer Claims if Tenant fails to timely vacate the Premises.

The Letter of Credit shall be referred to herein as the “Security Deposit”. The Letter of Credit shall (i) be “callable” at sight, irrevocable and unconditional, (ii) be maintained in effect, whether through renewal (pursuant to a so-called “evergreen provision”) or extension, for the period from the Commencement Date and continuing until the date that is ninety (90) days after the expiration of the Term or the date of termination of the Lease (the “LC Expiration Date”), and Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a new Letter of Credit, certificate of renewal or extension amendment at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the Letter of Credit then held by Landlord, without any action whatsoever on the part of Landlord, (iii) be fully transferable by Landlord, its successors and assigns, (iv) permit partial draws and multiple presentations and drawings, and (v) be otherwise subject to the International Standby Practices ISP 98, International Chamber of Commerce Publication #590. In addition to the foregoing, the form and terms of the Letter of Credit (and the bank issuing the same (the “Bank”)) shall be acceptable to Landlord, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion. If Landlord notifies Tenant in writing that the Bank which issued the Letter of Credit has become financially unacceptable because the above requirements are not met or the Bank has filed bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings or is placed into a receivership or conservatorship, or the financial condition of the Bank has changed in any other materially adverse way then Tenant shall have thirty (30) days to provide Landlord with a substitute Letter of Credit complying with all of the requirements of this Article 26. If Tenant does not so provide

52

---

 

Landlord with a substitute Letter of Credit within such thirty (30) day period, then Landlord, or its then managing agent, shall h 3 the right to draw upon the then current Letter of Credit. In addition to Landlord's rights to draw upon the Letter as otherwise described in this Article 26, Landlord, or its then managing agent, shall have the right to draw down an amount up to the face amount of the Letter of Credit if any of the following shall have occurred or be applicable: (A) such amount is an obligation of Tenant under the Lease that is past-due beyond applicable notice and cure periods under the terms and conditions of this Lease; (B) Tenant has filed a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code, (C) an involuntary petition has been filed against Tenant under the Bankruptcy Code that is not dismissed within thirty (30) days, (D) the Bank has notified Landlord that the Letter of Credit will not be renewed or extended through the LC Expiration Date, or (E) Tenant has failed to deliver a new Letter of Credit or amendment to the existing Letter of Credit increasing the stated amount as required under the terms of this Lease. The Letter of Credit will be honored by the Bank regardless of whether Tenant disputes Landlord’s right to draw upon the Letter of Credit. Tenant shall be responsible for paying the Bank’s fees in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit, certificate of renewal or extension amendment.

(b)Upon written notice from the Bank that it is unconditionally prepared to issue and deliver the Letter of Credit, Landlord will deliver to the Bank for cancellation the letter of credit held by Landlord under the Existing Lease, with the intent that, subject to the terms of this Paragraph, the Letter of Credit shall secure the obligations of Tenant under this Lease and the Existing Lease as provided in Section 26.1(a) above, and shall remain in effect, as a Security Deposit with respect to the Existing Lease until the date that is ninety (90) days after the expiration of the Existing Lease or the date of termination of the Existing Lease. In addition, following the expiration of said ninety (90) day period, upon the request of Tenant, Landlord will execute an amendment to the Letter of Credit, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord deleting any reference therein to the Existing Lease.

(c)At any time, Tenant may replace the Letter of Credit with a cash Security Deposit (at which time Landlord shall concurrently return the Letter of Credit) or replace a cash Security Deposit with a Letter of Credit meeting the requirements of this Article 26 (at which time Landlord shall concurrently return the cash Security Deposit).

26.2Transfer of Security Deposit. The Letter of Credit shall provide that Landlord, its successors and assigns, may, at any time and without notice to Tenant and without first obtaining Tenant’s consent thereto, transfer (one or more times) all or any portion of its interest in and to the Letter of Credit to another party, person or entity. In the event of a transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Building, Landlord shall transfer the Security Deposit to the transferee and thereupon Landlord shall, without any further agreement between the parties, be released by Tenant from all liability therefor arising after such transfer, and it is agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment of the Security Deposit to a new landlord. In connection with any such transfer of the Letter of Credit by Landlord, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, execute and submit to the Bank such applications, documents and instruments as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate such transfer, and Tenant shall be responsible for paying the Bank’s transfer and processing fees in connection therewith.

26.3In General. If, for any reason, the amount of the Security Deposit becomes less than the Deposit Amount then required to be provided hereunder, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days thereafter provide Landlord with an additional cash Security Deposit or additional letter(s) of credit in an amount equal to the deficiency (or a replacement letter of credit in the total Deposit Amount), and any such additional (or replacement) letter of credit shall comply with all of the provisions of this Article 26, and if Tenant fails to comply with the foregoing, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 20.1 above, the same shall constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease (unless Tenant cures such default within five (5) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant). Tenant further covenants and warrants that it will neither assign nor encumber the Security Deposit or any part thereof and that neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns will be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Letter of Credit expires earlier than the LC Expiration Date, Landlord will accept a renewal thereof (such renewal letter of credit to be in effect and delivered to Landlord, as applicable, not later than sixty (60) days prior to the

53

---

 

expiration of the Letter of Credit), which shall be irrevocable and automatically renewable as above provided through the LC Expiration Date upon the same terms as the expiring Letter of Credit or such other terms as may be acceptable to Landlord in its reasonable discretion. However, if the Letter of Credit is not timely renewed, or if Tenant fails to maintain the Letter of Credit in the amount and in accordance with the terms set forth in this Article 26, Landlord shall have the right to present the Letter of Credit to the Bank in accordance with the terms of this Article 26, and the proceeds of the Letter of Credit may be applied by Landlord against any Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease that is not paid when due (subject to applicable notice and cure periods) and/or to pay for all losses and damages that Landlord has actually suffered as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease (subject to applicable notice and cure periods), including, but not limited to, all damages or rent due upon termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code. Any unused proceeds shall constitute a Deposit as provided in Section 26.5 and need not be segregated from Landlord’s other assets, provided that Landlord agrees to pay to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the LC Expiration Date the amount of any proceeds of the Letter of Credit received by Landlord and not applied against any Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease that was not paid when due or used to pay for any losses and/or damages actually suffered by Landlord as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease (including, but not limited to, all damages or rent due upon termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code); provided, however, that if prior to the LC Expiration Date a voluntary petition is filed by Tenant, or an involuntary petition is filed against Tenant by any of Tenant’s creditors under the Bankruptcy Code, then Landlord shall not be obligated to make such payment in the amount of the unused Letter of Credit proceeds until either all preference issues relating to payments under this Lease have been resolved in such bankruptcy or reorganization case or such bankruptcy or reorganization case has been dismissed.

26.4Application of Letter of Credit. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Landlord is entering into this Lease in material reliance upon the ability of Landlord to draw upon the Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of any uncured breach or default on the part of Tenant under this Lease. If Tenant shall breach any provision of this Lease or otherwise be in default hereunder, in each case beyond applicable notice and cure periods, Landlord may, but without obligation to do so, and without notice to Tenant, draw upon the Letter of Credit, in part or in whole, to cure any breach or default of Tenant and/or to compensate Landlord for any and all damages of any kind or nature sustained resulting from Tenant’s breach or default, including, but not limited to, all damages or rent due upon termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code. The use, application or retention of the Letter of Credit, or any portion thereof, by Landlord shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided by this Lease or by any Applicable Laws, it being intended that Landlord shall not first be required to proceed against the Letter of Credit, and the use, application or retention of the Letter of Credit shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Landlord may otherwise be entitled. No condition or term of this Lease shall be deemed to render the Letter of Credit conditional to justify the issuer of the Letter of Credit in failing to honor a drawing upon such Letter of Credit in a timely manner. Tenant agrees and acknowledges that (i) the Letter of Credit constitutes a separate and independent contract between Landlord and the Bank, (ii) Tenant is not a third party beneficiary of such contract, (iii) Tenant has no property interest whatsoever in the Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof, and (iv) in the event Tenant becomes a debtor under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, neither Tenant, any trustee, nor Tenant’s bankruptcy estate shall have any right to restrict or limit Landlord's claim and/or rights to the Letter of Credit and/or the proceeds thereof by application f Section 502(b)(6) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.

26.5Security Deposit. Any proceeds drawn under the Letter of Credit and not applied as set forth above shall be held by Landlord as a security deposit (the "Deposit”). No trust relationship is created herein between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the Deposit, and Landlord shall not be required to keep the Deposit separate from its general accounts. The Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all of the provisions of this Lease to be performed or observed by Tenant. If Tenant fails to pay any Rent, or otherwise defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease as set forth in Section 20.1, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to), and without prejudice to any other remedy available to Landlord, use, apply or retain all or any portion of the Deposit for the payment of any Rent in default or for the payment of any other sum to which Landlord may become obligated by reason of Tenant’s default, or to compensate Landlord for any loss or damage which

54

---

 

Landlord actually suffers thereby, including, without limitation, prospective damages and damages recoverable pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1951.2. Tenant waives the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1950.7, or any similar or successor laws now or hereinafter in effect, that restrict Landlord’s use or application of the Deposit, or that provide specific time periods for return of the Deposit. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant expressly agrees that if Landlord terminates this Lease due to an Event of Default or if Tenant terminates this Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding, Landlord shall be entitled to hold the Deposit until the amount of damages recoverable pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1951.2 is finally determined. If Landlord uses or applies all or any portion of the Deposit as provided above, Tenant shall within ten (10) days after demand therefor, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Deposit to the full amount thereof, and Tenant’s failure to do so shall, at Landlord’s option, be an Event of Default under this Lease if Tenant does not cure such failure within five (5) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant. At any time that Landlord is holding proceeds of the Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 26.5, Tenant may deposit a Letter of Credit that complies with all requirements of this Article 26, in which event Landlord shall return the Deposit to Tenant within ten (10) days after receipt of the Letter of Credit. If Tenant performs all of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, the Deposit, or so much thereof as has not previously been applied by Landlord, shall be returned, without payment of interest or other increment for its use, to Tenant (or, at Landlord’s option, to the last assignee, if any, of Tenant’s interest hereunder) within ninety (90) days following the later of the expiration of the Term or Tenant’s vacation and surrender of the Premises in accordance with the requirements of this Lease. Landlord’s return of the Deposit or any part thereof shall not be construed as an admission that Tenant has performed all of its obligations under this Lease. Upon termination of Landlord’s interest in this Lease, if Landlord transfers the Deposit (or the amount of the Deposit remaining after any permitted deductions) to Landlord’s successor in interest, and thereafter notifies Tenant of such transfer and the name and address of the transferee, then Landlord shall be relieved of any further liability with respect to the Deposit that was actually transferred to the successor in interest.

26.6Intentionally Omitted.

26.7Intentionally Omitted.

27.Waiver. Failure by Landlord to declare an Event of Default upon occurrence thereof, or delay in taking any action in connection therewith, shall not waive such Event of Default, but Landlord shall have the right to declare such Event of Default at any time after its occurrence. To be effective, a waiver of any provision of this Lease, or any default, shall be in writing and signed by the waiving party. Any waiver hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver of subsequent performance of any such provision or subsequent defaults. The subsequent acceptance of Rent hereunder, or endorsement of any check by Landlord, shall not be deemed to constitute an accord and satisfaction or a waiver of any preceding Event of Default, except as to the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of the preceding Event of Default at the time of acceptance of the Rent. No course of conduct between Landlord and Tenant, and no acceptance of the keys to or possession of the Premises by Landlord before the Expiration Date, shall constitute a waiver of any provision of this Lease or of any Event of Default or operate as a surrender of this Lease.

28. Notices; Tenant’s Agent for Service. All notices, approvals, consents, demands and other communications from one party to the other given pursuant to this Lease shall be in writing and shall be made by personal delivery, by use of a reputable courier service or by deposit in the United States mail, certified, registered or express, postage prepaid and return receipt requested.

Notices shall be effective on the date of receipt if mailed or on the date of hand delivery if hand delivered. If any such notice, approval, consent, demand and other communication is not received or cannot be delivered due to a change in the address of the receiving party of which notice was not previously given to the sending party or due to a refusal to accept by the receiving party, such request, approval, consent, notice or other communication shall be effective on the date delivery is attempted. Landlord and Tenant may each change their respective addresses from time to time by giving written notice to the other of such change in accordance with the

55

terms of this Article 28, at least ten (10) days before such change is to be effected; provided, however, that any such address shall be a street address (and not a post office box).

The foregoing sentence shall not be a limitation to any other rights Landlord may have under applicable Requirements or otherwise.

(c)Removal. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease, Landlord reserves the right to require Tenant, upon reasonable written notice, to remove any Lines or Equipment located in or serving the Premises installed by Tenant which (i) are or were installed in violation of these provisions, or (ii) are at any time in violation of any applicable Requirements, or (iii) present a dangerous or potentially dangerous condition, or (iv) present a threat to the structural integrity of the Building, or (v) threaten to overload the capacity of, or affect the temperature otherwise maintained by, the air conditioning system, or the capacity of the Building’s electrical system, or (vi) have caused Interference that has not been corrected in accordance with Section 32.2(a) above. In addition, Tenant shall remove Lines and Equipment installed by Tenant upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease in accordance with Section 33.13 below. The removal of Lines or Equipment shall be performed by the contractor specified by Landlord. If Tenant fails to remove any Lines or Equipment as required by Landlord in a diligent and expeditious manner, or if Tenant violates any other provision of this Article 32 Landlord may, after three (3) days’ written notice to Tenant, remove such Lines and/or Equipment, as the case may be, or remedy such other violation, at Tenant’s expense (without limiting Landlord’s other remedies available under this Lease or applicable Requirements); provided, however, that Landlord shall have the right to remove any such Lines and/or Equipment immediately, without notice to Tenant, in the event of an emergency.

(d)Approval by Landlord. Landlord’s approval of, or requirements concerning, Lines and Equipment, the plans, specifications or drawings related thereto or Tenant’s contractors, subcontractors, or service provider, shall not be deemed a warranty as to the adequacy thereof, and Landlord hereby disclaims any responsibility or liability for the same. Landlord further disclaims all responsibility for the condition, security or utility of Lines and Equipment, and makes no representation regarding the suitability of any such Lines or Equipment for Tenant’s intended use or the adequacy or fitness of the Building Systems for any such Lines or Equipment.

(e)Waiver of Claims.

33.Miscellaneous.

33.1No Joint Venture. This Lease does not create any partnership or joint venture or similar relationship between Landlord and Tenant.

33.3Construction and Interpretation. The words "Landlord” and "Tenant” incl the plural as well as the singular. If there is more than one person comprising Tenant, the obligations under this Lease imposed on Tenant are joint and several. References to a party or parties refer to Landlord or Tenant, or both, as the context may require. The captions preceding the Articles, Sections and subsections of this Lease are inserted solely for convenience of reference and shall have no effect upon, and shall be disregarded in connection with, the construction and interpretation of this Lease. Use in this Lease of the words “including,” “such as,” or words of similar import, when following a general matter, shall not be construed to limit such matter to the enumerated items or matters whether or not language of nonlimitation (such as “without limitation”) is used with reference thereto. All provisions of this Lease have been negotiated at arm’s length between the parties and after advice by counsel and other representatives chosen by each party and the parties are fully informed with respect thereto.

Therefore, this Lease shall not be construed for or against either party by reason of the authorship or alleged authorship of any provision hereof, or by reason of the status of the parties as Landlord or Tenant, and the provisions of this Lease and the Exhibits hereto shall be construed as a whole according to their common meaning in order to effectuate the intent of the parties under the terms of this Lease.

33.4Severability. If any provision of this Lease, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or its application to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect, unless enforcement of this Lease as so invalidated would be unreasonable or grossly inequitable under the circumstances, or would frustrate the purposes of this Lease.

33.5Entire Agreement. This Lease and the Exhibits hereto identified in the Basic Lease Information contain all of the representations and warranties and the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and any prior negotiations, correspondence, memoranda, agreements, representations or warranties are replaced in total by this Lease and the Exhibits hereto. Neither Landlord nor Landlord’s employees, agents, contractors, licensees, invitees, representatives, officers, directors, shareholders, partners, and members have made any warranties or representations with respect to the Premises or any other portion of the Project, except as expressly set forth in this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that all brochures and informational materials, as well as all communications from Landlord and Landlord’s employees, agents, contractors, licensees, invitees, representatives, officers, directors, shareholders, partners, and members prior to the execution of this Lease, including without limitation, statements as to the identity or number of other tenants in the Project, the lease terms applicable to any such tenants or potential tenants, anticipated levels (or any matters which may affect anticipated levels) of expected business or foot traffic, demographic data, the suitability of the Premises for Tenant’s intended uses, and estimates of Escalation Rent, are and were made for informational purposes only, and Tenant agrees that

such communications (i) are not and shall not be construed to be representations or warranties of Landlord, Landlord’s employees, agents, contractors, licensees, invitees, representatives, officers, directors, shareholders, partners, or members as to the matters communicated, have not and will not be relied upon by Tenant, and (iii) have been the subject of independent investigation by Tenant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant is not relying on any representation, and Landlord does not represent, that any specific retail or office tenant or occupant or number of tenants shall occupy any space or remain open for business in the Project at any time during the Term, and Landlord reserves the right to effect such other tenancies in the Project as Landlord shall determine in the exercise of its sole judgment.

33.6Governing Law. This Lease shall be governed by and construed pursuant to the laws of the State of California.

33.7Costs and Expenses.

(a)Attorneys’ Fees. If either party hereto fails to perform any of its obligations under this Lease or if any dispute arises between the parties hereto concerning the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Lease, then the party failing to so perform or the party not prevailing in such dispute, as the case may be, shall pay any and all costs and expenses incurred by the other party on account of such failure and/or in enforcing or establishing its rights hereunder, including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements. Any such attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by either party in enforcing a judgment in its favor under this Lease shall be recoverable separately from and in addition to any other amount included in such judgment, and such attorneys’ fees obligation is intended to be severable from the other provisions of this Lease and to survive and not be merged into any such judgment.

(b)Reimbursement of Landlord’s Costs. Whenever Tenant provides notice to Landlord, requests Landlord’s consent under this Lease, or submits documents to Landlord for Landlord’s review, including, without limitation, under Articles 10 or 17 hereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, actually incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, provided that, upon Tenant’s request, Landlord shall give Tenant an estimate of such costs and expenses.

33.8Standards of Performance and Approvals. Unless otherwise provided in this Lease, whenever approval, consent or satisfaction (collectively, an “approval”) is required of a party pursuant to this Lease or an Exhibit hereto, such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Unless provision is made for a specific time period, approval (or disapproval) shall be given within thirty (30) days after receipt of the request for approval. Nothing contained in this Lease shall limit the right of a party to act or exercise its business judgment in a subjective manner with respect to any matter as to which it has been (i) specifically granted such right, (ii) granted the right to act in its sole discretion or sole judgment, or (iii) granted the right to make a subjective judgment hereunder, whether “objectively” reasonable under the circumstances, and any such exercise shall not be deemed inconsistent with any covenant of good faith and fair dealing implied by law to be part of this Lease. The parties have set forth in this Lease their entire understanding with respect to the terms, covenants, conditions and standards pursuant to which their obligations are to be judged and their performance measured, including the provisions of Article 17 with respect to assignments and sublettings.

33.9Brokers. Landlord shall pay Landlord’s Broker a commission in connection with this Lease to the extent set forth in a separate written agreement. Other than Landlord’s Broker, Landlord and Tenant each represent and warrant to the other that no broker, agent, or finder has procured, or was involved in the negotiation of, this Lease and no such broker, agent or finder is or may be entitled to a fee, commission or other compensation in connection with this Lease. Landlord and Tenant shall each indemnify, defend, protect and hold the other harmless from and against Claims that may be asserted against the indemnified party in breach of the foregoing warranty and representation.

33.13Surrender of Premises.

All personal property of Tenant not removed hereunder shall be deemed, at Landlord’s option, to be abandoned by Tenant and Landlord may, without any liability to Tenant for loss or damage thereto or loss of use thereof, store such property in Tenant’s name at Tenant’s expense and/or dispose of the same in any manner permitted by law.

33.23No Option.

This Lease shall be construed as though the covenants herein between Landlord and Tenant are independent, and Tenant hereby expressly waives the benefit of any statute to the contrary and agrees that if Landlord fails to perform its obligations set forth herein, Tenant shall not be entitled to make any repairs or perform any acts hereunder at Landlord’s expense or to any setoff of the Rent or other amounts owing hereunder against Landlord.

Tenant acknowledges that its activities on the Premises may be subject to FSHP. Although Landlord makes no representation or warranty as to the interpretation or application of FSHP to the Premises, or to Tenant's activities thereon, Ter acknowledges that (i) FSHP may impose obligations on Tenant, including good faith efforts to meet requirements and goals regarding interviewing, recruiting, hiring and retention of individuals for entry level positions; (ii) FSHP requirements could also apply to certain contracts and subcontracts entered into by Tenant regarding the Premises, including construction contracts; and (iii) FSHP requirements, if applicable, may be imposed as a condition of permits, including building permits, issued for construction or occupancy of the Premises.

33.33Certified Access Specialist. In accordance with California Civil Code Section 1938, Landlord hereby discloses that the Premises has not undergone inspection by a Certified Access Specialist. As required by Section 1938(e) of the California Civil Code, Landlord hereby states as follows:

“A Certified Access Specialist (CASp) can inspect the subject premises and determine whether the subject premises comply with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility standards under state law. Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the subject premises, the commercial property owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of the lessee or tenant, if requested by the lessee or tenant. The parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the premises.”

In furtherance of the foregoing, by their execution of the Lease, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that, without limiting Tenant’s obligations to comply with Applicable Laws as provided in this Lease, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall be solely responsible for making any improvements, alterations, modifications and/or repairs within or to the Premises then required by Applicable Laws to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards as disclosed by any Tenant-performed CASp inspection, subject to the terms of Section 7.3.

Except as expressly permitted in this Section 33.33, neither party nor its agents, servants, employees, invitees and contractors will, without the prior written consent of the other party, disclose or use any Confidential Information (as defined below) of the other party to any third party. “Confidential Information” means information of a party if either: (a) it is disclosed by the party to the other party in writing, orally or by inspection of tangible objects and is conspicuously marked “Confidential”, “Proprietary” or the like; (b) it is disclosed by one party to the other party in nontangible form and is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure; or (c) would reasonably be understood, given the nature of the information or the circumstances surrounding its disclosure, to be confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all financial information of Tenant provided to Landlord under this Agreement will be considered the Confidential Information of Tenant. In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, the terms of this Lease (but not its mere existence) will be deemed Confidential Information of each party. Other than the terms and conditions of this Lease, information will not be deemed Confidential Information hereunder if such information: (i) is publicly known and made generally available in the public domain prior to the time of disclosure by the disclosing party; (ii) becomes publicly known and made generally available after disclosure by the disclosing party to the receiving party through no action or inaction of the receiving party; (iii) is already in the possession of the receiving party at the time of disclosure by the disclosing party as shown by the receiving party’s competent files and records prior to the time of disclosure; (iv) is independently developed by the receiving party without use of or reference to the disclosing party’s Confidential Information, as shown by documents and other competent evidence in the receiving party’s possession; or (v) is obtained by the receiving party from a third party lawfully in possession of such information and without a breach of such third party’s obligations of confidentiality. The terms and conditions of this Lease will cease being confidential if, and only to the extent that, they become publicly known, except through a breach of this Section by a party. Each party will secure and protect the Confidential Information of the other p; ' (including, without limitation, the terms of this Lease) in a manner consistent with the steps taker protect its own trade secrets and confidential information, but not less than a reasonable degree of care. Each party may disclose the other party's Confidential Information where: (A) the disclosure is required by Applicable Law or by an order of a court or other governmental body having jurisdiction after giving reasonable notice to the other party with adequate time for such other party to seek a protective order; (B) if in the opinion of counsel for such party, disclosure is advisable under any applicable securities laws regarding public disclosure of business information; (C) the disclosure is reasonably necessary and is to that party’s or its affiliates’ employees, officers, directors, attorneys, accountants, consultants and other advisors, or to Landlord’s mortgage lender and its counsel, or the disclosure is otherwise necessary for a party to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under this Lease, so long as in all cases the disclosure is no broader than necessary

66

and the party who receives the disclosure is bound by confidentiality obligations as restrictive as the terms herein; or (D) the disclosure is reasonably necessary for a party to conclude a business transaction provided that the party who receives the disclosure is bound by confidentiality obligations as restrictive as the terms herein. Each party is responsible for ensuring that any Confidential Information of the other party that the first party discloses pursuant to this Section 33.34 is kept confidential by the person receiving the disclosure. Without limiting the generality of this Section 33.34, neither party will, directly or indirectly issue any written press release regarding this Lease (except as required by Applicable Law), or use the other party’s name for any commercial purposes or use any of the other party’s trademarks, in each case, without the express prior written consent of the other party to be granted or withheld in such party’s sole and absolute discretion.

Without limiting the provisions of Section 16,2 above, Tenant hereby agrees to protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord and the other Indemnitees, and each of them, harmless from and against any and all third p; Claims arising from or connected in any way with dogs brought into the Premises, the Project or the Parking Facility by Tenant Parties (except, with respect to any Indemnitee, to the extent caused by gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee), including (i) all foreseeable and unforeseeable consequential damages, (ii) any violation of Applicable Laws, and (iii) any personal injuries or property damage. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

34.4Repeat Defaults. If Tenant violates any of the provisions of this Article 34 three (3) or more times within any six (6) month period, then in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Landlord, Landlord shall have the right to terminate Tenant’s right to bring dogs into the Project (except seeing eye dogs), even if Tenant cures such violations.

Tenant’s right to bring dogs into the Premises pursuant to this Article 34 is personal to the Original Tenant (or any Related Company), and shall apply only to the portions of the Premises occupied by Tenant or a Related Company.

EXHIBIT E

RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER

1.Right of First Offer. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Exhibit E, Landlord hereby grants to the Original Tenant (or any Related Company) a one-time right of first offer (the “Right of First Offer”) with respect to space on the western side of the Building located on the fourth (4^th) floor (the “First Offer Space”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 1, such first offer right of Tenant shall be subject and subordinate to the rights of any Landlord Entity occupying any portion of the First Offer Space, whether or not pursuant to an express written provision in a lease with said Landlord Entity (any such Landlord Entities being referred to as a “Superior Right Holders”). In addition, if any Landlord Entity desires, in good faith, to occupy all or any portion of the First Offer Space for its or their personal use, then any of such parties may so occupy such portion of the First Offer Space, without Landlord having any obligation to offer such portion(s) of the First Offer Space to Tenant for lease pursuant to this Exhibit E.

2.Procedure for Offer. Landlord shall give at least two (2) months prior written notice to Tenant (the “First Offer Notice”) of when the First Offer Space, or any portion thereof, becomes available for lease to third parties, provided that no Superior Right Holder wishes to lease such space and no Landlord Entity desires in good faith to occupy all or any portion of such space for its or their personal use. Pursuant to such First Offer Notice, Landlord shall offer to lease to Tenant the then available First Offer Space. The First Offer Notice shall describe the space so offered to Tenant and shall set forth the rent payable for the First Offer Space (“First Offer Rent”) and the other economic terms upon which Landlord is willing to lease such space to Tenant; provided, however, the term of the First Offer Space shall be coterminous with the Term of the Lease, and Rent for the First Offer Space shall commence upon the earlier of (i) Tenant's occupancy of the First Offer Space, and (ii) one hundred twenty (120) days following delivery of the First Offer Space to Tenant, and shall terminate on the date set forth in the First Offer Notice.

3.Procedure for Acceptance. If Tenant wishes to exercise Tenant's right of first offer with respect to the space described in the First Offer Notice, then within five (5) Business Days of delivery of the First Offer Notice to Tenant, Tenant shall deliver written notice to Landlord (the “First Offer Exercise Notice”) exercising its right of first offer with respect to the entire space described in the First Offer Notice on the terms contained in such notice. If Landlord does not receive the First Offer Exercise Notice and the Reporting Package within five (5) Business Days of delivery of the First Offer Notice to Tenant, then Landlord shall be free to lease the space described in the First Offer Notice to anyone to whom Landlord desires on any terms Landlord desires (an “Intervening Lease”), and Tenant shall have no further rights to lease the First Offer Space, notwithstanding any subsequent vacancy thereof, whether upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Intervening Lease or otherwise.

4.Amendment to Lease. If Tenant timely exercises Tenant's right to lease the applicable First Offer Space as set forth herein, Landlord and Tenant shall promptly thereafter execute a lease amendment for such First Offer Space upon the terms and conditions as set forth in the First Offer Notice and this Exhibit E; provided, however, that an otherwise valid exercise of such Right of First Offer shall be fully effective whether or not a lease amendment is executed.

 

5.No Default. If, as of the date of delivery of a First Offer Exercise Notice or as of ^+u~ commencement of the term with respect to any First Offer Space any Event of Default exists under Lease, then at Landlord's election Tenant's exercise of the Right of First Offer shall be null and void i Landlord shall have no obligation to lease the applicable First Offer Space to Tenant.

 

6.Termination of Right of First Offer. Tenant’s rights set forth in this Exhibit E are personal to the Original Tenant (or any Related Company). If Tenant shall assign this Lease (other than to a Related Company) or sublet more than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises for substantially all of the remainder of the then current term of this Lease (other than to a Related Company), then immediately upon such assignment or subletting, the rights set forth in this Exhibit E shall simultaneously terminate and be of no further force or effect.

EXHIBIT F
EXTENSION OPTION

1.Option Right. Landlord hereby grants to the Original Tenant (or any Related Company), one (1) option to extend (the “Extension Option”) the Term for the entire Premises for a period of five (5) years on the same terms and conditions as this Lease (other than Base Rent) (the “Option Term”). For purposes of clarification, Tenant shall not have the right to exercise the Extension Option for less than the entire Premises. Such option to extend shall be exercisable only by notice delivered by Tenant to Landlord as provided in Section 3 below, provided that, as of the date of delivery of such notice and as of the commencement of the Option Term, no Event of Default exists under this Lease. The rights contained in this Section 1 shall be personal to the Original Tenant (or any Related Company) and may only be exercised by the Original Tenant (or any Related Company), so long as Tenant has not subleased more than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises other than to a Related Company. In the event that Tenant fails to timely exercise its option to extend in accordance with the terms of this Section 1, then the option to extend granted to Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Section 1 shall automatically terminate and shall be of no further force or effect.

2.Option Rent. The Base Rent payable by Tenant during the Option Term (the “Option Rent”) shall be equal to the Fair Market Rent (as defined in Schedule 1 attached to this Exhibit F). The calculation of the Fair Market Rent shall be derived from a review of, and comparison to, the Net Equivalent Lease Rates of the Comparable Transactions (each as defined in Schedule 1 attached hereto) in the manner provided for in Schedule 1 attached hereto.

3.Exercise of Option. The option contained in Section 1 above shall be exercised by Tenant, if at all, and only in the following manner: (i) Tenant shall deliver written notice (the “Option Exercise Notice”) to Landlord not more than eighteen (18) months nor less than fifteen (15) months prior to the expiration of the Term, stating that Tenant is exercising its option; (ii) Landlord shall, within sixty (60) calendar days following Landlord’s receipt of the Option Exercise Notice, deliver notice (the “Option Rent Notice”) to Tenant setting forth the Option Rent; and (iii) Tenant shall, on or before the date occurring thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of the Option Rent Notice, deliver written notice thereof to Landlord (“Option Acceptance Notice”), by which Tenant shall accept or reject the Option Rent set forth in the Option Rent Notice. If Tenant timely delivered the Option Acceptance Notice to Landlord but failed to accept or reject the Option Rent set forth in the Option Rent Notice by delivery of an Option Acceptance Notice, then Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the Option Rent set forth in the Option Rent Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Landlord may deliver written notice (the “Option Recapture Notice”) to Tenant within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Option Exercise Notice that as of the date of the Option Recapture Notice any Landlord Entity intends in good faith to reoccupy all of the Premises or all of the space then leased by Tenant on any given floor or floors of the Building for its or their personal use after the Expiration Date, in which case, (I) if any Landlord Entity intends in good faith to reoccupy all of the Premises for its or their personal use after the Expiration Date, then Tenant’s exercise of the Extension Option shall be deemed null and void and Tenant shall have no right to extend the Term of this Lease, or (II) if any Landlord Entity intends to reoccupy all of the space then leased by Tenant on any given floor or floors of the Building (but not the entire Premises) for its or their personal use after the Expiration Date, then (w) Tenant’s exercise of the Extension Option shall be deemed null and void as to such portion of the Premises that such Landlord Entity intends to reoccupy as specified by Landlord, (x) Tenant shall have no right to extend the Term of this Lease as to such floor or floors of the Premises, (y) at the expiration of the initial Term, Tenant shall surrender such floor or floors of the Premises to Landlord in the condition Tenant is required to surrender the Premises under this Lease on the Expiration Date (and Tenant's failure to so surrender such floor or floors of the Premises on such date shall be deemed a holding over subject to Article 25 of this Lease), and (z) the Base Rent and other amounts under this Lease which vary based on the RSF of the Premises shall be adjusted in the same manner as set forth in Section 17.7 of this Lease. If Landlord exercises the right set forth in clause (II) of the preceding sentence, then Tenant may elect to rescind Tenant’s Option Exercise Notice within sixty (60) days after receipt of Landlord’s written notice, in which case, Tenant’s Option Exercise Notice shall be null and void and of no further force and effect and the Term shall expire on the Expiration Date.

4.Determination of Option Rent. If Tenant rejects Landlord’s determination of Option Rent, and Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement, after negotiating in good faith, upon the Option Rent applicable to the Option Term on or before the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the initial Term, the “Outside Agreement Date”), then the Option Rent shall be determined by arbitration as set forth below, and each party shall thereafter make a separate determination of the Option Rent within ten (10) days of the Outside Agreement Date, and such determinations shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with Section 5 below.

F-1

5.Arbitration.

(a)Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one arbitrator who shall by profession be an MAI appraiser who shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the appraising of Class “A” office properties in San Francisco, California. The determination of the arbitrators shall be limited solely to the issue area of whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Option Rent is the closest to the actual Option Rent as determined by the arbitrators. Each such arbitrator shall be appointed within thirty (30) days after the Outside Agreement Date. Landlord and Tenant may consult with their selected arbitrators prior to appointment and may select an arbitrator who is favorable to their respective positions (including an arbitrator who has previously represented Landlord and/or Tenant, as applicable). The arbitrators so selected by Landlord and Tenant shall be deemed “Advocate Arbitrators.” If either party fails to timely appoint an Advocate Arbitrator, then the other party may deliver written notice of such failure to the party that failed to timely appoint an Advocate Arbitrator, and if such failure is not cured within five (5) Business Days following receipt of such written notice, then the Advocate Arbitrator timely appointed by the other party shall determine the Option Rent and such determination shall be binding upon the parties. If either party fails to timely submit its determination of the Option Rent then the other party shall have the right to deliver a notice to the failed party expressly referencing this Section 5 and the time period for performance hereunder, and if the failed party does not deliver its determination of the Option Rent within three (3) Business Days following its receipt of such notice, then the determination of the other party timely submitted shall be deemed to be the Option Rent.

(b)Within ten (10) Business Days of the appointment of the last of the two Advocate Arbitrators, the Advocate Arbitrators shall agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator (“Neutral Arbitrator”) who shall be qualified under the same criteria set forth hereinabove for qualification of the two Advocate Arbitrators except that (i) neither the Landlord or Tenant or either parties’ Advocate Arbitrator may, directly or indirectly, consult with the Neutral Arbitrator prior or subsequent to his or her appearance, and (ii) the Neutral Arbitrator cannot be someone who has represented Landlord and/or Tenant or any of their affiliates during the five (5) year period prior to such appointment. The Neutral Arbitrator shall be retained via an engagement letter jointly prepared by Landlord’s counsel and Tenant’s counsel. If the two (2) Advocate Arbitrators cannot timely agree upon and appoint a Neutral Arbitrator, then Landlord and Tenant shall each apply to the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of the County San Francisco to appoint the Neutral Arbitrator.

(c)Within ten (10) days following the appointment of the Neutral Arbitrator, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an arbitration agreement (the "Arbitration Agreement”) with the Neutral Arbitrator which shall set forth the following:

(i)the timing of the submittal of Landlord and Tenant as to what such party determines should be the Option Rent (provided that in any event, such submittals shall occur concurrently) and such submittals shall in any event occur no later than five (5) Business Days after appointment of the Neutral Arbitrator;

(ii)An agreement to be signed by the Neutral Arbitrator, the form of which agreement shall be attached as an exhibit to the Arbitration Agreement, whereby the Neutral Arbitrator shall agree to undertake the arbitration and render a decision in accordance with the terms of this Lease, and shall require the Neutral Arbitrator to demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the parties that the Neutral Arbitrator has no conflicts of interest with either Landlord or Tenant;

(iii)That Landlord and Tenant shall each have the right to submit to the Neutral Arbitrator (with a copy to the other party), on or before the date that occurs fifteen (15) days following the appointment of the Neutral Arbitrator, an advocate statement (and any other information such party deems relevant) prepared by or on behalf of Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, in support of Landlord’s or Tenant’s respective determination of Option Rent (the “Briefs”);

(iv)That within five (5) Business Days following the exchange of Briefs, Landlord and Tenant shall each have the right to provide the Neutral Arbitrator (with a copy to the other party) with a written rebuttal to the other party’s Brief (the “Rebuttals”); provided, however, such Rebuttals shall be limited to the facts and arguments raised in the other party’s Brief and shall identify clearly which argument or fact of the other party’s Brief is intended to be rebutted;

F-2

---

 

(v)The date, time and location of the arbitration, which shall be mutually and reasonably agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant, taking into consideration the schedules of the Neutral Arbitrator, the Advocate Arbitrators, Landlord and Tenant, and each party’s applicable consultants, which date shall in any event be within forty-five (45) days following the appointment of the Neutral Arbitrator;

(vi)That no discovery shall take place in connection with the arbitration, other than to verify the factual information that is presented by Landlord or Tenant;

(vii)That the Neutral Arbitrator shall not be allowed to undertake an independent investigation or consider any factual information other than presented by Landlord or Tenant, except that the Neutral Arbitrator shall be permitted to visit the Building and the buildings containing the Comparable Transactions (as defined in Schedule 1 attached to this Exhibit F), and shall have the right to consider the factors set forth in Schedule 1 attached to this Exhibit F in determining which of Landlord’s or Tenant’s submittal most closely resembles the Neutral Arbitrator’s determination of Fair Market Rent;

(viii)That Tenant shall have the right to present oral arguments to the Neutral Arbitrator at the arbitration for a period of time not to exceed two (2) hours (“Tenant’s Initial Statement”);

 

(ix)That following Tenant’s Initial Statement, Landlord shall have the right to present oral arguments to the Neutral Arbitrator at the arbitration for a period of time not to exceed two (2) hours (“Landlord’s Initial Statement”);

(x)That following Landlord’s Initial Statement, Tenant shall have up to one (1) additional hour to present additional arguments and/or to rebut the arguments of Landlord (“Tenant’s Rebuttal Statement”);

(xi)That following Tenant’s Rebuttal Statement, Landlord shall have up to one (1) additional hour to present additional arguments and/or to rebut the arguments of Tenant (“Landlord’s Rebuttal Statement”);

(xii)That, not later than ten (10) Business Days after the date of the arbitration, the Neutral Arbitrator shall render a decision (the “Ruling”) indicating whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Option Rent is closer to the Neutral Arbitrator’s determination of what the Fair Market Rent should be for the Premises which Ruling shall set forth the facts and reasons for the decision of the Neutral Arbitrator;

(xiii)That following notification of the Ruling, Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Option Rent determination, whichever is selected by the Neutral Arbitrator as being closer to the his or her determination of Fair Market Rent, shall become the then applicable Option Rent; and

(xiv)That the decision of the Neutral Arbitrator shall be binding on Landlord and tenant.

(d)If the parties fail to enter into an Arbitration Agreement within ten (10) days following the appointment of the Neutral Arbitrator, then the arbitration shall nonetheless proceed in accordance with this Section 5 notwithstanding such failure.

(e)In the event that the Option Rent shall not have been determined pursuant to the terms hereof prior to the commencement of the Option Term, Tenant shall be required to pay the Option Rent initially provided by Landlord to Tenant, and upon the final determination of the Option Rent the payments made by Tenant shall be reconciled with the actual amounts due, and the appropriate party shall make any corresponding payment to the other party within thirty (30) calendar days after the Option Rent has been finally determined.

6.Amendment. After the Option Rent payable during the applicable Option Term is determined, the parties shall promptly execute an amendment to this Lease in a form reasonably acceptable to both parties extending the Lease Term and stating the amount of the Option Rent payable during the applicable Option Term.

SCHEDULE 1 TO EXHIBIT F

FAIR MARKET RENT

When determining Fair Market Rent, the following rules and instructions shall be followed.

1.RELEVANT FACTORS. The Fair Market Rent shall be derived from an analysis (as such derivation and analysis are set forth in this Schedule 1) of the Net Equivalent Lease Rates of the Comparable Transactions (each as defined below). The “Fair Market Rent” shall be equal to the annual rent per RSF as would be applicable on the commencement of the Option Term at which tenants, are, pursuant to transactions consummated within the six (6) month period immediately preceding the first day of the Option Term (provided that timing adjustments shall be made to reflect any perceived changes which will occur in the Fair Market Rent following the date of any particular Comparable Transaction up to the date of the commencement of the Option Term) leasing non-sublease, non-encumbered, non-equity space comparable in location and quality to the Premises and consisting of comparable size space, for a comparable term, with comparable amenities and signage rights, in an arm’s-length transaction, which comparable space is located in the Comparable Buildings (transactions satisfying the foregoing criteria shall be known as the “Comparable Transactions”). The terms of the Comparable Transactions shall be calculated as a Net Equivalent Lease Rate pursuant to the terms of this Schedule 1 and shall take into consideration only the following terms and concessions:         (i) the rental rate and escalations for the Comparable Transactions; (ii) the amount of parking rent per parking permit paid in the Comparable Transactions; (iii) operating expense and tax escalation protection granted in such Comparable Transactions such as a base year or expense stop; (iv) tenant improvements or allowances provided or to be provided in Comparable Transactions, taking into account, the value of the existing improvements, if any, in the Premises, such value of existing improvements to be based upon the age, quality and layout of the improvements and the extent to which the same could be utilized by general office users (as contrasted to the Tenant); (v) rental abatement concessions, if any, being granted such tenants in connection with such comparable space; and (vi) distinctions between “gross” and “net” leases or leases which are net of electric.

2.TENANT IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE. If, in determining the Fair Market Rent for an Option Term, Tenant is entitled to a tenant improvement or comparable allowance for the improvement of the Option space (the “Option Term TI Allowance“), Landlord may, at Landlord’s sole option, elect to grant all or a portion of the Option Term TI Allowance in accordance with the following: (A) to grant some or all of the Option Term TI Allowance to Tenant in the form as described above (i.e., as an improvement allowance), and/or (B) to offset against the rental rate component of the Fair Market Rent all or a portion of the Option Term TI Allowance (in which case such portion of the Option Term TI Allowance provided in the form of a rental offset shall not be granted to Tenant). To the extent Landlord elects not to grant the entire Option Term TI Allowance to Tenant as a tenant improvement allowance, the offset under item (B), above, shall equal the amount of the tenant improvement allowance not granted to Tenant as a tenant improvement allowance pursuant to the preceding sentence.

3.COMPARABLE BUILDINGS. Fair Market Rent shall be adjusted, if necessary, to take into consideration the size, age, quality of construction and appearance of the Comparable Buildings as they relate to the Building.

4.METHODOLOGY FOR REVIEWING AND COMPARING THE COMPARABLE TRANSACTIONS. In order to analyze the Comparable Transactions based on the factors to be considered in calculating Fair Market Rent, and given that the Comparable Transactions may vary in terms of length or term, rental rate, concessions, etc., the following steps shall be taken into consideration to "adjust” the objective data from each of the Comparable Transactions. By taking this approach, a “Net Equivalent Lease Rate” for each of the Comparable Transactions shall be determined using the following steps to adjust the Comparable Transactions, which will allow for an “apples to apples” comparison of the Comparable Transactions.

F-4

---

 

(i)The contractual rent payments for each of the Comparable Transactions should be arrayed monthly or annually over the lease term. All Comparable Transactions should be adjusted to simulate a net rent structure, wherein the tenant is responsible for the payment of all property operating expenses and taxes in a manner consistent with this Lease. This results in the estimate of “Net Equivalent Rent” received by each landlord for each Comparable Transaction being expressed as a periodic net rent payment.

(ii)Any free rent or similar inducements received over time should be deducted in the time period in which they occur, resulting in the net cash flow arrayed over the lease term.

(iii)The resultant net cash flow from the lease should be then discounted (using an annual discount rate equal to eight percent (8%)) to the lease commencement date, resulting in a net present value estimate.

(iv)From the net present value, up front inducements (improvements allowances and other concessions) should be deducted. These items should be deducted directly, on a “dollar for dollar” basis, without discounting since they are typically incurred at lease commencement, while rent (which is discounted) is a future receipt.

The net present value should then be amortized back over the lease term as a level monthly or annual net rent payment using the same annual discount rate of eight percent (8%) used in the present value analysis. This calculation will result in a hypothetical level or even payment over the option period, termed the “Net Equivalent Lease Rate” (or constant equivalent in general financial terms).

5.USE OF NET EQUIVALENT LEASE RATES FOR COMPARABLE TRANSACTIONS. The Net Equivalent Lease Rates for the Comparable Transactions shall then be used to reconcile, in a manner usual and customary for a real estate appraisal process, to a conclusion of Fair Market Rent which shall be stated as a Net Equivalent Lease Rate applicable during the Option Term.
