day of the month in which the expiration of such period occurs, including any
extensions of the Term pursuant to any provision of this Lease or written
agreement of the parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commencement
Date falls on any day other than the first day of a calendar month then the Term
of this Lease will be measured from the first day of the month following the
month in which the Commencement Date occurs. Each consecutive twelve (12) month

the Commencement Date.
(b) Condition of Premises. Tenant has accepted the Premises in "AS-IS"

5. RENT.
(a) Monthly Base Rent. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord the Monthly Base Rent for
the Premises (subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided) in advance on the
first day of each calendar month during the Teem without prior notice or demand,
except that Tenant agrees to pay the Monthly Base Rent for the first month of
the Term directly to Landlord concurrently with Tenant's delivery of the
executed Lease to Landlord. If the Term of this Lease commences or ends on a day
other than the first day of a calendar month, then the rent for such period will
be prorated in the proportion that the number of days this Lease is in effect
during such period bears to the number of days in such month. All rent must be
paid to Landlord, without any deduction or offset, in lawful money of the United
States of America, at the address designated by Landlord or to such other person
or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing.
Monthly Base Rent will be adjusted during the Term of this Lease as provided in
Subparagraph 1(m).
(b) Additional Rent. All amounts and charges to be paid by Tenant hereunder,
including, without limitation, payments for Operating Expenses, insurance,
repairs and parking, will be considered additional rent for purposes of this
Lease, and the word "rent" as used in this Lease will include all such
additional rent unless the context specifically or clearly implies that only
Monthly Base Rent is intended.
(c) Late Payments. Late payments of Monthly Base Rent and/or any item of
additional rent will be subject to interest and a late charge as provided in
Subparagraph 22(f) below.
6. OPERATING EXPENSES.
(a) Operating Expenses. In addition to Monthly Base Rent, throughout the Term
of this Lease, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord as additional rent in accordance
with the terms or this Paragraph 6. Tenant's Percentage of Operating Expenses as
defined in Exhibit "E" attached hereto to the extent Tenant's Percentage of
-----------
Operating Expenses exceeds Tenant's Operating Expense Allowance.
(b) Estimate Statement. Prior to the Commencement Date and on or about March
1st of each subsequent calendar year during the Term of this Lease. Landlord
will endeavor to deliver to Tenant a statement ("Estimate Statement") wherein
Landlord will estimate both the Operating Expenses and Tenant's Percentage of
Operating Expenses for the then current calendar year. If the estimate of
Tenant's Percentage of Operating Expenses in the Estimate Statement exceeds
Tenant's Operating Expense Allowance, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, as
"Additional Rent", one-twelfth (1/12th) of such excess each month thereafter,
beginning with the next installment of rent due, until such time as Landlord
issues a revised Estimate Statement or the Estimate Statement for the succeeding
calendar year, except that, concurrently with the regular monthly rent payment
next due following the receipt of each such Estimate Statement. Tenant agrees to
pay Landlord an amount equal to one monthly installment of such excess (less any
applicable Operating Expenses already paid) multiplied by the number of months
from January, in the current calendar year, to the month of such rent payment
next due, all months inclusive. If at any time during the Term of this Lease,
but not more often than quarterly, Landlord reasonably determines that Tenant's
Percentage of Operating Expenses for the current calendar year will be greater
than the amount set forth in the then current Estimate Statement, Landlord may
issue a revised Estimate Statement and Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, within ten
(10) days of receipt of the revised Estimate Statement, the difference between
the amount owed by Tenant under such revised Estimate Statement and the amount
owed by Tenant under the original Estimate Statement for the portion of the then
current calendar year which has expired. Thereafter Tenant agrees to pay
Tenant's Percentage of Operating Expenses based on such revised Estimate
Statement until Tenant receives the next calendar year's Estimate Statement or a
new revised Estimate Statement for the current calendar year. In the event
Tenant's Percentage of Operating Expenses for any calendar year is less than
Tenant's Operating Expense Allowance, Tenant will not be entitled to a credit
against any rent, additional rent or Tenant's Percentage of future Operating
Expenses payable hereunder.
(c) Actual Statement. By March 1st of each calendar year during the Term of
this Lease, Landlord will also endeavor to deliver to Tenant a statement
("Actual Statement") which states the actual Operating Expenses for the
preceding calendar year. If the Actual Statement reveals that Tenant's
Percentage of the actual Operating Expenses is more than the total Additional
Rent paid by Tenant for Operating Expenses on account of the preceding calendar
year, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord the difference in a lump sum within ten (10)
days of receipt of the Actual Statement. If the Actual Statement reveals that
Tenant's Percentage of the actual Operating Expenses is less than the Additional
Rent paid by Tenant for Operating Expenses on account of the preceding calendar
year, Landlord will credit any overpayment toward the next monthly
installment(s) of Tenant's Percentage of the Operating Expenses due under this
Lease.
(d) Miscellaneous. Any delay or failure by Landlord in delivering any Estimate
Statement or Actual Statement pursuant to this Paragraph 6 will not constitute a
waiver of its right to require an increase in rent nor will it relieve Tenant of
its obligations pursuant to this Paragraph 6, except that Tenant will not be
obligated to make any payments based on such Estimate Statement or Actual
Statement until ten (10) days after receipt of such Estimate Statement or Actual
Statement. Even though the Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises,
when the final determination is made of Tenant's Percentage of the actual
Operating Expenses for the year in which this Lease terminates, Tenant agrees to
promptly pay any increase due over the estimated expenses paid and, conversely,
any overpayment made in the event said expenses decrease shall promptly be
rebated by Landlord to Tenant. Such obligation will be a continuing one which
will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Prior to the
expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term and Landlord's acceptance of
Tenant's surrender of the Premises, Landlord will have the right to estimate the
actual Operating Expenses for the then current Lease Year and to collect from
Tenant prior to Tenant's surrender of the Premises, Tenant's Percentage of any
excess of such actual Operating Expenses over the estimated Operating Expenses
paid by Tenant in such Lease Year.

7. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Concurrently with Tenant's execution of this Lease.
Tenant will deposit with Landlord the Security Deposit designated in
Subparagraph 1(o). The Security Deposit will be held by Landlord as security for
the full and faithful performance by Tenant of all of the terms, covenants, and
conditions of this Lease to be kept and performed by Tenant during the Term
hereof. If Tenant fully and faithfully performs its obligations under this
Lease, including, without limitation, surrendering the Premises upon the
expiration or sooner termination of this Lease in compliance with Subparagraph
11(a) below, the Security Deposit or any balance thereof will be returned to
Tenant (or, at Landlord's option, to the last assignee of Tenant's interest
hereunder) within thirty (30) days following the expiration of the Lease Term or
as required under applicable law, provided that Landlord may retain the Security
Deposit until such time as any outstanding rent or additional rent amount has
been determined and paid in full. The Security Deposit is not, and may not be
construed by Tenant to constitute, rent for the last month or any portion
thereof. If Tenant defaults with respect to any provisions of this Lease
including, but not limited to, the provisions relating to the payment of rent or
additional rent, Landlord may (but will not be required to) use, apply or retain
all or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any rent or any other
sum in default, or for the payment of any other amount which Landlord may spend
or become obligated to spend by reason of Tenant's default or to compensate
Landlord for any loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant's
default. If any portion of the Security Deposit is so used or applied, Tenant
agrees within ten (10) days after Landlord's written demand therefor, to deposit
cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to
its original amount and Tenant's failure to do so shall constitute a default
under this Lease. Landlord is not required to keep Tenant's Security Deposit
separate from its general funds, and Tenant is not entitled to interest on such
Security Deposit. Should Landlord sell its interest in the Premises during the
Term hereof and deposit with the purchaser thereof the then unappropriated
Security Deposit funds, Landlord will be discharged from any further liability
with respect to such Security Deposit.
8. USE.
(a) Tenant's Use of the Premises. The Premises may be used for the use or uses
set forth in Subparagraph 1(r) only, and Tenant will not use or permit the
Premises to be used for any other purpose without the prior written consent of

discretion. Nothing in this Lease will be deemed to give Tenant any exclusive
right to such use in the Building or the Development.

Lease), Tenant agrees not to cause or permit any Hazardous Materials to be

Tenant agrees to promptly indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless Landlord
and Landlord's partners, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and
assigns (collectively, "Landlord Indemnified Parties") from and against any and

attorneys' fees, consultant fees and expert fees and court costs) which arise or
result from the presence of Hazardous Materials on, in, under or about the
Premises, the Building or any other portion of the Development and which are

promptly notify Landlord of any release of Hazardous Materials at the Premises,
the Building or any other portion of the Development which Tenant becomes aware
of during the Term of this Lease, whether caused by Tenant or any other persons
or entities. In the event of any release of Hazardous Materials caused or
permitted by Tenant or any of Tenant's Parties, Landlord shall have the right,
but not the obligation, to cause Tenant to immediately take all steps Landlord
deems necessary or appropriate to remediate such release and prevent any similar
future release to the satisfaction of Landlord and Landlord's mortgagee(s). As

different address for notice purposes by written notice to the other, except
that the Landlord may in any event use the Premises as Tenant's address for
notice purposes

Lease are stated in Subparagraph 1(t). Each party represents and warrants to the
other, that, to its knowledge, no other broker, agent or finder (a) negotiated
or was instrumental in negotiating or consummating this Lease on its behalf, and

any breach by the indemnifying party of the foregoing representation, including,
without limitation, any claims that may be asserted by any broker, agent or
finder undisclosed by the indemnifying party. The foregoing mutual indemnity
shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
11. SURRENDER; HOLDING OVER.
(a) Surrender. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a
mutual cancellation thereof, shall not constitute a merger, and shall, at the
option of Landlord, operate as an assignment to Landlord of any or all subleases
or subtenancies. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease,
Tenant agrees to peaceably surrender the Premises to Landlord broom clean and
in a state of first-class order, repair and condition, ordinary wear and tear
and casualty damage (if this Lease is terminated as a result thereof pursuant to
Paragraph 20) excepted, with all of Tenant's personal property and Alterations
(as defined in Paragraph 13) removed from the Premises to the extent required
under Paragraph 13 and all damage caused by such removal repaired as required by
Paragraph 13. Prior to the date Tenant is to actually surrender the Premises to
Landlord, Tenant agrees to give Landlord reasonable prior notice of the exact
date Tenant will surrender the Premises so that Landlord and Tenant can schedule
a walk-through of the Premises to review the condition of the Premises and
identify the Alterations and personal property which are to remain upon the
Premises and which items Tenant is to remove, as well as any repairs Tenant is
to make upon surrender of the Premises. The delivery of keys to any employee of
Landlord or to Landlord's agent or any employee thereof alone will not be
sufficient to constitute a termination of this Lease or a surrender of the
Premises.
(b) Holding Over. Tenant will not be permitted to hold over possession of the
Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term without the
express written consent of Landlord, which consent Landlord may withhold in its
sole and absolute discretion. If Tenant holds over after the expiration or
earlier termination of the Term, Landlord may, at its option, treat Tenant as a
tenant at sufferance only, and such continued occupancy by Tenant shall be
subject to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, so far as
applicable, except that the Monthly Base Rent for any such holdover period shall
be equal to the greater of (i) one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Monthly
Base Rent in effect under this Lease immediately prior to such holdover, or (ii)
the then currently scheduled rental rate for comparable space in the Building,
in either event prorated on a daily basis. Acceptance by Landlord of rent after
such expiration or earlier termination will not result in a renewal of this
Lease. The foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 11 are in addition to and do
not affect Landlord's right of re-entry or any rights of Landlord under this
Lease or as otherwise provided by law. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises
upon the expiration of this Lease in accordance with the terms of this Paragraph
11 despite demand to do so by Landlord, Tenant agrees to promptly indemnify,
protect, defend and hold Landlord harmless from all claims, damages, judgments,
suits, causes of action, losses, liabilities, penalties, fines, expenses and
costs (including attorneys' fees and costs), including, without limitation,
costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in returning the Premises to the
condition in which Tenant was to surrender it and claims made by any succeeding
tenant founded on or resulting from Tenant's failure to surrender the Premises.
The provisions of this Subparagraph 11(b) will survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease.
12. TAXES ON TENANT'S PROPERTY. Tenant agrees to pay before delinquency, all
taxes and assessments (real and personal) levied against (a) any personal
property or trade fixtures placed by Tenant in or about the Premises (including
any increase in the assessed value of the Premises based upon the value of any
such personal property or trade fixtures); and (b) any Tenant Improvements or
Alterations in the Premises (whether installed and/or paid for by Landlord or
Tenant) to the extent such items are assessed at a valuation higher than the
valuation at which tenant improvements conforming to Landlord's building
standard tenant improvements are assessed. If any such taxes or assessments are
levied against Landlord or Landlord's property, Landlord may, after written
notice to Tenant (and under proper protest if requested by Tenant) pay such
taxes and assessments, in which event Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord all
amounts paid by Landlord within ten (10) business days after demand by Landlord,
provided, however, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, will have the right,
with Landlord's cooperation, to bring suit in any court of competent
jurisdiction to recover the amount of any such taxes and assessments so paid
under protest.
13. ALTERATIONS. After installation of the initial Tenant Improvements for the
Premises pursuant to Exhibit "C", Tenant may, at its sole cost and expense, make
-----------
alterations, additions, improvements and decorations to the Premises
(collectively, "Alterations") subject to and upon the following terms and
conditions;
(a) Prohibited Alterations. Tenant may not make any Alterations which (i)
affect any area outside the Premises; (ii) affect the Building's structure,
equipment, services or systems, or the proper functioning thereof, or Landlord's
access thereto; (iii) affect the outside appearance, character or use of the
Building or the Building Common Areas; (iv) in the reasonable opinion of
Landlord, lessen the value of the Building; or (v) will violate or require a
change in any occupancy certificate applicable to the Premises.
(b) Landlord's Approval. Before proceeding with any Alterations which are not
prohibited in Subparagraph 13(a) above, Tenant must first obtain Landlord's
written approval of the plans, specifications and working drawings for such
Alterations, which approval Landlord will not unreasonably withhold or delay,
provided, however, Landlord's prior approval will not be required for any such
Alterations which are not prohibited by Subparagraph 13(a) above and which cost
less than Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500) as long as (i) Tenant
delivers to Landlord notice and a copy of any final plans, specifications and
working drawings for any such Alterations at least ten (10) days prior to
commencement of the work thereof, and (ii) the other conditions of this
Paragraph 13 are satisfied, including, without limitation, conforming to
Landlord's rules, regulations and insurance requirements which govern
contractors. Landlord's approval of plans, specifications and/or working
drawings for Alterations will not create any responsibility or liability on the
part of Landlord for their completeness, design sufficiency, or compliance with
applicable permits, laws, rules and regulations of governmental agencies or
authorities. In approving any Alterations, Landlord reserves the right to
require Tenant to
increase its Security Deposit to provide Landlord with additional reasonable
security for the removal of such Alterations by Tenant as may be required by
this Lease.
(c) Contractors. Alterations may be made or installed only by contractors and
subcontractors which have been approved by Landlord, which approval Landlord
will not unreasonably withhold or delay; provided, however, Landlord reserves
the right to require that Landlord's contractor for the Building be given the
first opportunity to bid for any Alteration work. Before proceeding with any
Alterations, Tenant agrees to provide Landlord with ten (10) days prior written
notice and Tenant's contractors must obtain and maintain, on behalf of Tenant
and at Tenant's sole cost and expense: (i) all necessary governmental permits
and approvals for the commencement and completion of such Alterations; and (ii)
if requested by Landlord, a completion and lien indemnity bond, or other surety,
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord for such Alterations. Throughout the
performance of any Alterations, Tenant agrees to obtain, or cause its
contractors to obtain, workers compensation insurance and general liability
insurance in compliance with the provisions of Paragraph 19 of this Lease.
(d) Manner of Performance. All Alterations must be performed: (i) in accordance
with the approved plans, specifications and working drawings; (ii) in a
lien-free and first-class and workmanlike manner, (iii) in compliance with all
applicable permits, laws, statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders and
rulings now or hereafter in effect and imposed by any governmental agencies and
authorities which assert jurisdiction; (iv) in such a manner so as not to
interfere with the occupancy of any other tenant in the Building, nor impose any
additional expense upon nor delay Landlord in the maintenance and operation of
the Building; and (v) at such times, in such manner, and subject to such rules
and regulations as Landlord may from time to time reasonably designate.
(e) Ownership. The Tenant Improvements, including, without limitation, all
affixed sinks, dishwashers, microwave ovens and other fixtures, and all
Alterations will become the property of Landlord and will remain upon and be
surrendered with the Premises at the end of the Term of this Lease; provided,
however, Landlord may, by written notice delivered to Tenant concurrently with
Landlord's approval of the final working drawings for any Alterations, identify
those Alterations which Landlord will require Tenant to remove at the end of the
Term of this Lease. Landlord may also require Tenant to remove Alterations which
Landlord did not have the opportunity to approve as provided in this Paragraph
13. If Landlord requires Tenant to remove any Alterations, Tenant, at its sole
cost and expense, agrees to remove the identified Alterations on or before the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease and repair any damage to the
Premises caused by such removal (or, at Landlord's option, Tenant agrees to pay
to Landlord all of Landlord's costs of such removal and repair).
(f) Plan Review. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, as additional rent, the
reasonable costs of professional services and costs for general conditions of
Landlord's third party consultants if utilized by Landlord (but not Landlord's
"in-house" personnel) for review of all plans, specifications and working
drawings for any Alterations, within ten (10) business days after Tenant's
receipt of invoices either from Landlord or such consultants. In addition,
Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, within ten (10) business days after completion of
any Alterations, a fee to cover Landlord's costs of supervising and
administering the installation of such Alterations, in the amount of eight
percent (8%) of the cost of such Alterations, but in no event less than Two
Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250.00).
(g) Personal Property. All articles of personal property owned by Tenant or
installed by Tenant at its expense in the Premises (including Tenant's business
and trade fixtures, furniture, movable partitions and equipment [such as
telephones, copy machines, computer terminals, refrigerators and facsimile
machines]) will be and remain the property of Tenant, and must be removed by
Tenant from the Premises, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, on or before the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Tenant agrees to repair any
damage caused by such removal at its cost on or before the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease.
(h) Removal of Alterations. If Tenant fails to remove by the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease all of its personal property, or any
Alterations identified by Landlord for removal, Landlord may, at its option,
treat such failure as a hold-over pursuant to Subparagraph 11(b) above, and/or
Landlord may (without liability to Tenant for loss thereof) treat such personal
property and/or Alterations as abandoned and, at Tenant's sole cost and expense,
and in addition to Landlord's other rights and remedies under this Lease, at law
or in equity: (a) remove and store such items; and/or (b) upon ten (10) days
prior notice to Tenant, sell, discard or otherwise dispose of all or any such
items at private or public sale for such price as Landlord may obtain or by
other commercially reasonable means. Tenant shall be liable for all costs of
disposition of Tenant's abandoned property and Landlord shall have no liability
to Tenant with respect to any such abandoned property. Landlord agrees to apply
the proceeds of any sale of any such property to any amounts due to Landlord
under this Lease from Tenant (including Landlord's attorneys' fees and other
costs incurred in the removal, storage and/or sale of such items), with any
remainder to be paid to Tenant.
14. REPAIRS.
(a) Landlord's obligations. Landlord agrees to repair and maintain the
structural portions of the Building and the plumbing, heating, ventilating, air
conditioning, elevator and electrical systems installed or furnished by
Landlord, unless such maintenance and repairs are (i) attributable to items
installed in Tenant's Premises which are above standard interior improvements
(such as, for example, custom lighting, special HVAC and/or electrical panels or
systems, kitchen or restroom facilities and appliances constructed or installed
within Tenant's Premises) or (ii) caused in part or in whole by the act, neglect
or omission of any duty by Tenant, its agents, servants, employees or invitees,
in which case Tenant will pay to Landlord, as additional rent, the reasonable
cost of such maintenance and repairs. Landlord will not be liable for any
failure to make any such repairs, or to perform any maintenance unless such
failure shall persist for an unreasonable time after written notice of the need
of such repairs or maintenance is given to Landlord by Tenant. Except as
provided in Paragraph 20, Tenant will not be entitled to any abatement of rent
and Landlord will not have any liability by reason of any injury to or
interference with Tenant's business arising from the making of any repairs,
alterations or improvements in or to any portion of the Building or the Premises
or in or to fixtures, appurtenances and equipment therein. Tenant waives the
right to make repairs at Landlord's expense under any law, statute, ordinance,
rule, regulation, order or ruling (including, without limitation, to the extent
the Premises are located in California, the provisions of California Civil Code
Sections 1941 and 1942 and any successor statutes or laws of a similar nature).
(b) Tenant's Obligations. Tenant agrees to keep, maintain and preserve the
Premises in first class condition and repair and, when and if needed, at
Tenant's sole cost and expense, to make all repairs to the Premises and every
part thereof. Any such maintenance and repairs will be performed by Landlord's
contractor, or at Landlord's option, by such contractor or contractors as Tenant
may choose from an approved list to be submitted by Landlord. Tenant agrees to
pay all costs and expenses incurred in such
-7-
maintenance and repair within seven (7) days after billing by Landlord or such
contractor or contractors. Tenant agrees to cause any mechanics' liens or other
liens arising as a result of work performed by Tenant or at Tenant's direction
to be eliminated as provided in Paragraph 15 below. Except as provided in
Subparagraph 14(a) above, Landlord has no obligation to alter, remodel, improve,
repair, decorate or paint the Premises or any part thereof.
(c) Tenant's Failure to Repair. If Tenant refuses or neglects to repair and
maintain the Premises properly as required hereunder to the reasonable
satisfaction of Landlord, Landlord, at any time following ten (10) days from the
date on which Landlord makes a written demand on Tenant to effect such repair
and maintenance, may enter upon the Premises and make such repairs and/or
maintenance, and upon completion thereof, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord as
additional rent, Landlord's costs for making such repairs plus an amount not to
exceed ten percent (10%) of such costs for overhead, within ten (10) days of
receipt from Landlord of a written itemized ▇▇▇▇ therefor. Any amounts not
reimbursed by Tenant within such ten (10) day period will bear interest at the
Interest Rate until paid by Tenant.
15. LIENS. Tenant agrees not to permit any mechanic's, materialmen's or other
liens to be filed against all or any part of the Development, the Building or
the Premises, nor against Tenant's leasehold interest in the Premises, by reason
of or in connection with any repairs, alterations, improvements or other work
contracted for or undertaken by Tenant or any other act or omission of Tenant or
Tenant's agents, employees, contractors, licensees or invitees. At Landlord's
request, Tenant agrees to provide Landlord with enforceable, conditional and
final lien releases (or other evidence reasonably requested by Landlord to
demonstrate protection from liens) from all persons furnishing labor and/or
materials at the Premises. Landlord will have the right at all reasonable times
to post on the Premises and record any notices of non-responsibility which it
deems necessary for protection from such liens. If any such liens are filed,
Tenant will, at its sole cost, promptly cause such liens to be released of
record or bonded so that it no longer affects title to the Development, the
Building or the Premises. If Tenant fails to cause any such liens to be so
released or bonded within ten (10) days after filing thereof, such failure will
be deemed a material breach by Tenant under this Lease without the benefit of
any additional notice or cure period described in Paragraph 22 below, and
Landlord may, without waiving its rights and remedies based on such breach, and
without releasing Tenant from any of its obligations, cause such liens to be
released by any means it shall deem proper, including payment in satisfaction of
the claims giving rise to such liens. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord within
ten (10) days after receipt of invoice from Landlord, any sum paid by Landlord
to remove such liens, together with interest at the Interest Rate from the date
of such payment by Landlord.
16. ENTRY BY LANDLORD. Landlord and its employees and agents will at all
times have the right to enter the Premises to inspect the same, to supply
janitorial service and any other service to be provided by Landlord to Tenant
hereunder, to show the Premises to prospective purchasers or tenants, to post
notices of nonresponsibility, and/or to repair the Premises as permitted or
required by this Lease. In exercising such entry rights, Landlord will endeavor
to minimize, as reasonably practicable, the interference with Tenant's business,
and will provide Tenant with reasonable advance notice of any such entry (except
in emergency situations). Landlord may, in order to carry out such purposes,
erect scaffolding and other necessary structures where reasonably required by
the character of the work to be performed. Landlord will at all times have and
retain a key with which to unlock all doors in the Premises, excluding Tenant's
vaults and safes. Landlord will have the right to use any and all means which
Landlord may reasonably deem proper to open said doors in an emergency in order
to obtain entry to the Premises. Any entry to the Premises obtained by Landlord
by any of said means, or otherwise, will not be construed or deemed to be a
forcible or unlawful entry into the Premises, or an eviction of Tenant from the
Premises. Landlord will not be liable to Tenant for any damages or losses for
any entry by Landlord.
17. UTILITIES AND SERVICES. Throughout the Term of the Lease so long as the
Premises are occupied, Landlord agrees to furnish or cause to be furnished to
the Premises the utilities and services described in the Standards for Utilities
and Services attached hereto as Exhibit "F", subject to the conditions and in
-----------
accordance with the standards set forth therein. Landlord may require Tenant
from time to time to provide Landlord with a list of Tenant's employees and/or
agents which are authorized by Tenant to subscribe on behalf of Tenant for any
additional services which may be provided by Landlord. Any such additional
services will be provided to Tenant at Tenant's cost. Landlord will not be
liable to Tenant for any failure to furnish any of the foregoing utilities and
services if such failure is caused by all or any of the following: (i) accident,
breakage or repairs, (ii) strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbance or labor
dispute of any character; (iii) governmental regulation, moratorium or other
governmental action or inaction; (iv) inability despite the exercise of
reasonable diligence to obtain electricity, water or fuel; or (v) any other
cause beyond Landlord's reasonable control. In addition, in the event of any
stoppage or interruption of services or utilities, Tenant shall not be entitled
to any abatement or reduction of rent (except as expressly provided in
Subparagraphs 20(f) or 21(b) if such failure results from a damage or taking
described therein), no eviction of Tenant will result from such failure and
Tenant will not be relieved from the performance of any covenant or agreement in
this Lease because of such failure. In the event of any failure, stoppage or
interruption thereof, Landlord agrees to diligently attempt to resume service
promptly. If Tenant requires or utilizes more water or electrical power than is
considered reasonable or normal by Landlord, Landlord may at its option require
Tenant to pay, as additional rent, the cost, as fairly determined by Landlord,
incurred by such extraordinary usage and/or Landlord may install separate
meter(s) for the Premises, at Tenant's sole expense, and Tenant agrees
thereafter to pay all charges of the utility providing service and Landlord will
make an appropriate adjustment to Tenant's Operating Expenses calculation to
account for the fact Tenant is directly paying such metered charges, provided
Tenant will remain obligated to pay its proportionate share of Operating
Expenses subject to such adjustment.
18. ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) Assumption of Risk. Tenant, as a material part of the consideration to
Landlord, hereby agrees that neither Landlord nor any Landlord Indemnified
Parties (as defined in Subparagraph 8(c) above) will be liable to Tenant for,
and Tenant expressly assumes the risk of and waives any and all claims it may
have against Landlord or any Landlord Indemnified Parties with respect to, (i)
any and all damage to property or injury to persons in, upon or about the
Premises, the Building or the Development resulting from any act or omission
(except for the grossly negligent or intentionally wrongful act or omission) of
Landlord, (ii) any such damage caused by other tenants or persons in or about
the Building or the Development, or caused by quasi-public work, (iii) any
damage to property entrusted to employees of the Building, (iv) any loss of or
damage to property by theft or otherwise, or (v) any injury or damage to persons
or property resulting from any casualty, explosion, falling plaster or other
masonry or glass, steam, gas, electricity, water or rain which may leak from any
part of the Building or any other portion of the Development or from the pipes,
appliances or plumbing works therein or from the roof, street or subsurface or
from any place, or resulting from dampness.
-8-
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, neither
Landlord nor any Landlord Indemnified Parties will be liable for consequential
damages arising out of any loss of the use of the Premises or any equipment or
facilities therein by Tenant or any Tenant Parties or for interference with
light or other incorporeal hereditaments. Tenant agrees to give prompt notice to
Landlord in case of fire or accidents in the Premises or the Building, or of
defects therein or in the fixtures or equipment.
(b) Indemnification. Tenant will be liable for, and agrees to the maximum
extent permissible under applicable law, to promptly indemnify, protect, defend
and hold harmless Landlord and all Landlord Indemnified Parties, from and
against, any and all claims, damages, judgments, suits, causes of action,
losses, liabilities, penalties, fines, expenses and costs, including attorney's
fees and court costs (collectively, "Indemnified Claims"), arising or resulting
from (i) any act of omission of Tenant or any Tenant Parties (as defined in
Subparagraph 8(c) above); (ii) the use of the Premises and Common Areas and
conduct of Tenant's business by Tenant or any Tenant Parties, or any other
activity, work or thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant or any Tenant
Parties, in or about the Premises, the Building or elsewhere within the
Development; and/or (iii) any default by Tenant of any obligations on Tenant's
part to be performed under the terms of this Lease. In case any action or
proceeding is brought against Landlord or any Landlord Indemnified Parties by
reason of any such Indemnified Claims, Tenant, upon notice from Landlord, agrees
to promptly defend the same at Tenant's sole cost and expense by counsel
approved in writing by Landlord, which approval Landlord will not unreasonably
withhold.
(c) Survival; No Release of Insurers. Tenant's indemnification obligations
under Subparagraph 18(b) will survive the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease. Tenant's covenants, agreements and indemnification obligation in
Subparagraphs 18(a) and 18(b) above, are not intended to and will not relieve
any insurance carrier of its obligations under policies required to be carried
by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Lease.
19. INSURANCE
(a) Tenant's Insurance. On or before the earlier to occur of (i) the
Commencement Date, or (ii) the date Tenant commences any work of any type in the
Premises pursuant to this Lease (which may be prior to the Commencement Date),
and continuing throughout the entire Term hereof and any other period of
occupancy, Tenant agrees to keep in full force and effect, at its sole cost and
expense, the following insurance;
(i) "All Risks" property insurance including at least the following perils:
fire and extended coverage, smoke damage, vandalism, malicious mischief,
sprinkler leakage (including earthquake sprinkler leakage). This insurance
policy must be upon all property owned by Tenant, for which Tenant is legally
liable, or which is installed at Tenant's expense, and which is located in the
Building including, without limitation, any Tenant Improvements which satisfy
the foregoing qualification and any Alterations, and all furniture, fittings,
installations, fixtures and any other personal property of Tenant, in an amount
not less than the full replacement cost thereof. If there is a dispute as to
full replacement cost, the decision of Landlord or any mortgagee of Landlord
will be presumptive.
(ii) One (1) year insurance coverage for business interruption and loss of
income and extra expense insuring the same perils described in Subparagraph
19(a)(i) above, in such amounts as will reimburse Tenant for any direct or
indirect loss of earnings attributable to any such perils including prevention
of access to the Premises, Tenant's parking areas or the Building as a result of
any such perils.
(iii) Commercial General Liability Insurance or Comprehensive General Liability
Insurance (on an occurrence form) insuring bodily injury, personal injury and
property damage including the following divisions and extensions of coverage:
Premises and Operations; Owners and Contractors protective; blanket contractual
liability (including coverage for Tenant's indemnity obligations under this
Lease); products and completed operations; liquor liability (if Tenant serves
alcohol on the Premises); and fire and water damage legal liability in an amount
sufficient to cover the replacement value of the Premises, including Tenant
Improvements, that are rented under the terms of this Lease. Such insurance must
have the following minimum limits of liability: bodily injury, personal injury
and property damage - $1,000,000 each occurrence, provided that if liability
coverage is provided by a Commercial General Liability policy the general
aggregate limit shall apply separately and in total to this location only (per
location general aggregate), and provided further, such minimum limits of
liability may be adjusted from year to year to reflect increases in coverages as
recommended by Landlord's insurance carrier as being prudent and commercially
reasonable for tenants of first class office buildings comparable to the
Building, rounded to the nearest five hundred thousand dollars.
(iv) Comprehensive Automobile Liability insuring bodily injury and property
damage from all owned, non-owned and hired vehicles, if any, with minimum limits
of liability of $1,000,000 per accident.
(v) Worker's Compensation as required by the laws of the State with the
following minimum limits of liability: Coverage A - statutory benefits;
Coverage B - $1,000,000 per accident and disease.
(vi) Any other form or forms of insurance as Tenant or Landlord or any
mortgagees of Landlord may reasonably require from time to time in form, in
amounts, and for insurance risks against which, a prudent tenant would protect
itself, but only to the extent coverage for such risks and amounts are available
in the insurance market at commercially acceptable rates. Landlord makes no
representation that the limits of liability required to be carried by Tenant
under the terms of this Lease are adequate to protect Tenant's interests and
Tenant should obtain such additional insurance or increased liability limits as
Tenant deems appropriate.
(b) Supplemental Tenant Insurance Requirements.
(i) All policies must be in a form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and
issued by an insurer admitted to do business in the State.
(ii) All policies must be issued by insurers with a policyholder rating of "A"
and a financial rating of "X" in the most recent version of Best's Key Rating
Guide.
-9-
(iii) All policies must contain a requirement to notify Landlord (and Landlord's
property manager and any mortgagees or ground lessors of Landlord who are named
as additional insureds, if any) in writing not less than thirty (30) days prior
to any material change, reduction in coverage, cancellation or other termination
thereof. Tenant agrees to deliver to Landlord, as soon as practicable after
placing the required insurance, but in any event within the time frame specified
in Subparagraph 19(a) above, certificate(s) of insurance and/or if required by
Landlord, certified copies of each policy evidencing the existence of such
insurance and Tenant's compliance with the provisions of this Paragraph 19,
Tenant agrees to cause replacement policies or certificates to be delivered to
Landlord not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any such
policy or policies. If any such initial or replacement policies or certificates
are not furnished within the time(s) specified herein. Tenant will be deemed to
be in material default under this Lease without the benefit of any additional
notice or cure period provided in Subparagraph 22(a)(iii) below, and Landlord
will have the right, but not the obligation, to procure such insurance as
Landlord deems necessary to protect Landlord's interests at Tenant's expense. If
Landlord obtains any insurance that is the responsibility of Tenant under this
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to deliver to Tenant a written statement setting
forth the cost of any such insurance and showing in reasonable detail the manner
in which it has been computed and Tenant agrees to promptly reimburse Landlord
for such costs as additional rent.
(iv) General Liability and Automobile Liability policies under Subparagraphs
19(a)(iii) and (iv) must name Landlord and Landlord's property manager (and at
Landlord's request, Landlords, mortgagees and ground lessors of which Tenant has
been informed in writing) as additional insureds and must also contain a
provision that the insurance afforded by such policy is primary insurance and
any insurance carried by Landlord and Landlord's property manager or Landlord's
mortgagees or ground lessors, if any, will be excess over and non-contributing
with Tenant's insurance.
(c) Tenant's Use. Tenant will not keep, use, sell or offer for sale in or upon
the Premises any article which may be prohibited by any insurance policy
periodically in force covering the Building or the Development Common Areas. If
Tenant's occupancy or business in, or on, the Premises, whether or not Landlord
has consented to the same,results in any increase in premiums for the insurance
periodically carried by Landlord with respect to the Building or the Development
Common Areas or results in the need for Landlord to maintain special or
additional insurance, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord the cost of any such
increase in premiums or special or additional coverage as additional rent within
ten (10) days after being billed therefor by Landlord. In determining whether
increased premiums are a result of Tenant's use of the Premises, a schedule
issued by the organization computing the insurance rate on the Building, the
Development Common Areas or the Tenant Improvements showing the various
components of such rate, will be conclusive evidence of the several items and
charges which make up such rate. Tenant agrees to promptly comply with all
reasonable requirements of the insurance authority or any present or future
insurer relating to the Premises.
(d) Cancellation of Landlord's Policies. If any of Landlord's insurance
policies are cancelled or cancellation is threatened or the coverage reduced or
threatened to be reduced in any way because of the use of the Premises or any
part thereof by Tenant or any assignee or subtenant of Tenant of by anyone
Tenant permits on the Premises and, if Tenant fails to remedy the condition
giving rise to such cancellation, threatened cancellation, reduction of
coverage, threatened reduction of coverage, increase in premiums, or threatened
increase in premiums, within forty-eight (48) hours after notice thereof, Tenant
will be deemed to be in material default of this Lease and Landlord may, at its
option, either terminate this Lease or enter upon the Premises and attempt to
remedy such condition, and Tenant shall promptly pay Landlord the reasonable
costs of such remedy as additional rent. If Landlord is unable, or elects not to
remedy such condition, then Landlord will have all of the remedies provided for
in this Lease in the event of a default by Tenant.
(e) Waiver of Subrogation. Tenant's property insurance shall contain a clause
whereby the insurer waives all rights of recovery by way of subrogation against
Landlord. Tenant shall also obtain and furnish evidence to Landlord of the
waiver by Tenant's worker's compensation insurance carrier of all rights of
recovery by way of subrogation against Landlord.
20. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.
(a) Partial Destruction. If the Premises or the Building are damaged by fire or
other casualty to an extent not exceeding twenty-five percent (25%) of the full
replacement cost thereof, and Landlord's contractor reasonably estimates in a
writing delivered to Landlord and Tenant that the damage thereto may be
repaired, reconstructed or restored to substantially its condition immediately
prior to such damage within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of such
casualty, and Landlord will receive insurance proceeds sufficient to cover the
costs of such repairs, reconstruction and restoration (including proceeds from
Tenant and/or Tenant's insurance which Tenant is required to deliver to Landlord
pursuant to Subparagraph 20(c) below to cover Tenant's obligation for the costs
of repair, reconstruction and restoration of any portion of the Tenant
Improvements and any Alterations for which Tenant is responsible under this
Lease), then Landlord agrees to continue and proceed diligently with the work of
repair, reconstruction and restoration and this Lease will continue in full
force and effect.
(b) Substantial Destruction. Any damage or destruction to the Premises or the
Building which Landlord is not obligated to repair pursuant to Subparagraph
20(a) above will be deemed a substantial destruction. In the event of a
substantial destruction, Landlord may elect to either (i) repair, reconstruct
and restore the portion of the Building or the premises damaged by such
casualty, in which case this Lease will continue in full force and effect,
subject to Tenant's termination right contained in Subparagraph 20(d) below, or
(ii) terminate this Lease effective as of the date which is thirty (30) days
after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's election to so terminate.
(c) Notice. Under any of the conditions of Subparagraph 20(a) or (b) above,
Landlord agrees to give written notice to Tenant of its intention to repair or
terminate, as permitted in such paragraphs, within the earlier of sixty (60)
days after the occurrence of such casualty, or fifteen (15) days after
Landlord's receipt of the estimate from Landlord's contractor (the applicable
time period to be referred to herein as the "Notice Period").
(d) Tenant's Termination Rights. If Landlord elects to repair, reconstruct and
restore pursuant to Subparagraph 20(b)(i) hereinabove, and if Landlord's
contractor estimates that as a result of such damage, Tenant cannot be given
reasonable use of and access to the Premises within three hundred sixty-five
(365) days after the date of such damage, then Tenant may terminate this Lease
effective upon delivery of written notice to Landlord within ten (10) days after
Landlord delivers notice to Tenant of its election to so repair, reconstruct or
restore.
-10-
(e) Tenant's Costs and Insurance Proceeds. In the event of any damage or
destruction of all or any part of the Premises, Tenant agrees to immediately (i)
notify Landlord thereof, and (ii) deliver to Landlord all property insurance
proceeds received by Tenant with respect to any Tenant Improvements installed by
or at the cost of Tenant and any Alterations, but excluding proceeds for
Tenant's furniture, fixtures, equipment and other personal property, whether or
not this Lease is terminated as permitted in this Paragraph 20, and Tenant
hereby assigns to Landlord all rights to receive such insurance proceeds. If,
for any reason (including Tenant's failure to obtain insurance for the full
replacement cost of any Tenant Improvements installed by or at the cost of
Tenant and any Alterations from any and all casualties), Tenant fails to receive
insurance proceeds covering the full replacement cost of any Tenant Improvements
installed by or at the cost of Tenant and any Alterations which are damaged,
Tenant will be deemed to have self-insured the replacement cost of such items,
and upon any damage or destruction thereto, Tenant agrees to immediately pay to
Landlord the full replacement cost of such items, less any insurance proceeds
actually received by Landlord from Landlord's or Tenant's insurance with respect
to such items.
(f) Abatement of Rent. In the event of any damage, repair, reconstruction
and/or restoration described in this Paragraph 20, rent will be abated or
reduced, as the case may be, from the date of such casualty, in proportion to
the degree to which Tenant's use of the Premises is impaired during such period
of repair until such use is restored. Except for abatement of rent as provided
hereinabove, Tenant will not be entitled to any compensation or damages for loss
of, or interference with, Tenant's business or use or access of all or any part
of the Premises or for lost profits or any other consequential damages of any
kind or nature, which result from any such damage, repair, reconstruction or
restoration.
(g) Inability to Complete. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Paragraph 20, if Landlord is obligated or elects to repair, reconstruct
and/or restore the damaged portion of the Building or the Premises pursuant to
Subparagraph 20(a) or 20(b)(i) above, but is delayed from completing such
repair, reconstruction and/or restoration beyond the date which is one hundred
eighty (180) days after the date estimated by Landlord's contractor for
completion thereof by reason of any causes (other than delays caused by Tenant,
its subtenants, employees, agents or contractors) which are beyond the
reasonable control of Landlord as described in Paragraph 33, then either
Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease upon ten (10) days prior
written notice given to the other after the expiration of such one hundred
eighty (180) day period.
(h) Damage Near End of Term. Landlord and Tenant shall each have the right to
terminate this Lease if any damage to the Premises or the Building occurs during
the last twelve (12) months of the Term of this Lease where Landlord's
contractor estimates in a writing delivered to Landlord and Tenant that the
repair, reconstruction or restoration of such damage cannot be completed within
sixty (60) days after the date of such casualty. If either party desires to
terminate this Lease under this Subparagraph (h), it shall provide written
notice to the other party of such election within ten (10) days after receipt of
Landlord's contractor's repair estimates.
(i) Waiver of Termination Right. Landlord and Tenant agree that the foregoing
provisions of this Paragraph 20 are to govern their respective rights and
obligations in the event of any damage or destruction and supersede and are in
lieu of the provisions of any applicable law, statute, ordinance, rule,
regulation, order or ruling now or hereafter in force which provide remedies for
damage or destruction of leased premises (including, without limitation, to the
extent the Premises are located in California, the provisions of California
Civil Code Section 1932, Subsection 2, and Section 1933, Subsection 4 and any
successor statute or laws of a similar nature).
(j) Termination. Upon any termination of this Lease under any of the provisions
of this Paragraph 20, the parties will be released without further obligation to
the other from the date possession of the Premises is surrendered to Landlord
except for items which have accrued and are unpaid as of the date of termination
and matters which are to survive any termination of this Lease as provided in
this Lease.
21. EMINENT DOMAIN.
(a) Substantial Taking. If the whole of the Premises, or such part thereof as
shall substantially interfere with Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises,
as contemplated by this Lease, is taken for any public or quasi-public purpose
by any lawful power or authority by exercise of the right of appropriation,
condemnation or eminent domain, or sold to prevent such taking, either party
will have the right to terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession
is required to be surrendered to such authority.
(b) Partial Taking; Abatement of Rent. In the event of a taking of a portion of
the Premises which does not substantially interfere with Tenant's use and
occupancy of the Premises, then, neither party will have the right to terminate
this Lease and Landlord will thereafter proceed to make a functional unit of the
remaining portion of the Premises (but only to the extent Landlord receives
proceeds therefor from the condemning authority), and rent will be abated with
respect to the part of the Premises which Tenant is deprived of on account of
such taking. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence to the contrary,
if any part of the Building or the Development is taken (whether or not such
taking substantially interferes with Tenant's use of the Premises), Landlord may
terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Tenant if
Landlord also terminates the leases of the other tenants of the Building which
are leasing comparably sized space for comparable lease terms.
(c) Condemnation Award. In connection with any taking of the Premises or the
Building, Landlord will be entitled to receive the entire amount of any award
which may be made or given in such taking or condemnation, without deduction or
apportionment for any estate or interest of Tenant, it being expressly
understood and agreed by Tenant that no portion of any such award will be
allowed or paid to Tenant for any so-called bonus or excess value of this Lease,
and such bonus or excess value will be the sole property of Landlord. Tenant
agrees not to assert any claim against Landlord or the taking authority for any
compensation because of such taking (including any claim for bonus or excess
value of this Lease); provided, however, if any portion of the Premises is
taken, Tenant will have the right to recover from the condemning authority (but
not from Landlord) any compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable
by Tenant for the taking of Tenant's furniture, fixtures, equipment and other
personal property within the Premises, for Tenant's relocation expenses, and for
any loss of goodwill or other damage to Tenant's business by reason of such
taking.
(d) Temporary Taking. In the event of taking of the Premises or any part
thereof for temporary use, (i) this Lease will remain unaffected thereby and
rent will not ▇▇▇▇▇, and (ii) Tenant will be entitled to receive such portion or
portions of any award made for
-11-
such use with respect to the period of the taking which is within the Term,
provided that if such taking remains in force at the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease, Tenant will then pay to Landlord a sum equal to the
reasonable cost of performing Tenant's obligations under Paragraph 11 with
respect to surrender of the Premises and upon such payment Tenant will be
excused from such obligations. For purpose of this Subparagraph 21(d), a
temporary taking shall be defined as a taking for a period of ninety (90) days
or less.
22. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.
(a) Defaults. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events will
be deemed a default by Tenant:
(i) The abandonment of the Premises by Tenant, which for purposes of this
Lease means any absence by Tenant from the Premises for five (5) business days
or longer while in default of any other provision of this Lease and, with
respect to ground floor space only, any vacation of the Premises, which for
purposes of this Lease means any absence by Tenant from the Premises for thirty
(30) days or longer whether or not Tenant is in default under any provision of
this Lease.
(ii) The failure by Tenant to make any payment of rent or additional rent or
any other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder, as and when due,
where such failure continues for a period of three (3) days after written notice
thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that any such notice will be
in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under applicable law
(including, without limitation, to the extent the Premises are located in
California, the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161
regarding unlawful detainer actions or any successor statute or law of a similar
nature).
(iii) The failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the express or implied
covenants or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant,
other than as specified in Subparagraph 22(a)(i) or (ii) above, where such
failure continues for a period of ten (10) days after written notice thereof
from Landlord to Tenant. The provisions of any such notice will be in lieu of,
and not in addition to, any notice required under applicable law (including,
without limitation, to the extent the Premises are located in California,
California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 regarding unlawful detainer
actions and any successor statue or similar law). If the nature of Tenant's
default is such that more than ten (10) days are reasonably required for its
cure, then Tenant will not be deemed to be in default if Tenant, with Landlord's
concurrence, commences such cure within such ten (10) day period and thereafter
diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.
(iv) (A) The making by Tenant of any general assignment for the benefit of
creditors, (B) the filing by or against Tenant of a petition to have Tenant
adjudged a bankrupt or a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any
law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against
Tenant, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days); (C) the appointment of a
trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant's assets
located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease, where possession
is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or (D) the attachment,
execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant's assets
located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease where such seizure
is not discharged within thirty (30) days.
(b) Landlord's Remedies; Termination. In the event of any default by Tenant,
in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity
under applicable law (including, without limitation, to the extent the Premises
are located in California, the remedies of Civil Code Section 1951.4 and any
successor statute or similar law), Landlord will have the immediate right and
option to terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder. If Landlord
elects to terminate this Lease then, to the extent permitted under applicable
law, Landlord may recover from Tenant (i) The worth at the time of award of any
unpaid rent which had 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 that amount
of such rent loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus
(iii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for
the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rent
loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus (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, results therefrom including, but not limited to:
attorneys' fees and costs; brokers' commissions; the costs of refurbishment,
alterations, renovation and repair of the Premises, and removal (including the
repair of any damage caused by such removal) and storage (or disposal) of
Tenant's personal property, equipment, fixtures, Alterations, the Tenant
Improvements and any other items which Tenant is required under this Lease to
remove but does not remove, as well as the unamortized value of any free rent,
reduced rent, free parking, reduced rate parking and any Tenant Improvement
Allowance or other costs or economic concessions provided, paid, granted or
incurred by Landlord pursuant to this Lease. The unamortized value of such
concessions shall be determined by taking the total value of such concessions
and multiplying such value by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number
of months of the Lease Term not yet elapsed as of the date on which the Lease is
terminated, and the denominator of which is the total number of months of the
Lease Term. As used in Subparagraphs 22(b)(i) and (ii) above, the "worth at the
time of award" is computed by allowing interest at the Interest Rate. As used in
Subparagraph 22(b)(iii) above, the "worth at the time of award" is computed by
discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San
Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).
(c) Landlord's Remedies; Re-Entry Rights. In the event of any default by
Tenant, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord under this
Lease, at law or in equity, Landlord will also have the right, with or without
terminating this Lease, to re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and
property from the Premises; such property may be removed and stored in a public
warehouse or elsewhere and/or disposed of at the sole cost and expense of and
for the account of Tenant in accordance with the provisions of Subparagraph
13(h) of this Lease or any other procedures permitted by applicable law. No
re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to this
Subparagraph 22(c) will be construed as an election to terminate this Lease
unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant or unless the
termination thereof is decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(d) Landlord's Remedies; Re-Letting. In the event of the vacation or
abandonment of the Premises by Tenant or in the event that Landlord elects to
re-enter the Premises or takes possession of the Premises pursuant to legal
proceeding or pursuant to any notice provided by law, then if Landlord does not
elect to terminate this Lease, Landlord may from time to time, without
terminating this Lease, either recover all rent as it becomes due or relet the
Premises or any part thereof on terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole and
absolute discretion may deem advisable with the right to make alterations and
repairs to the Premises in connection with
-12-
such reletting. If Landlord elects to relet the Premises, then rents received
by Landlord from such reletting will be applied; first, to the payment of any
indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to
the payment of any cost of such reletting; third, to the payment of the cost of
any alterations and repairs to the Premises incurred in connection with such
reletting; fourth, to the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder and the
residue, if any, will be held by Landlord and applied to payment of future rent
as the same may become due and payable hereunder. Should that portion of such
rents received from such reletting during any month, which is applied to the
payment of rent hereunder, be less than the rent payable during that month by
Tenant hereunder, then Tenant agrees to pay such deficiency to Landlord
immediately upon demand therefor by Landlord. Such deficiency will be
calculated and paid monthly.
(e) Landlord's Remedies; Performance for Tenant. All covenants and agreements
to be performed by Tenant under any of the terms of this Lease are to be
performed by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense and without any abatement
of rent. If Tenant fails to pay any sum of money owed to any party other than
Landlord, for which it is liable under this Lease, or if Tenant fails to perform
any other act on its part to be performed hereunder, and such failure
continues for ten (10) days after notice thereof by Landlord, Landlord may,
without waiving or releasing Tenant from its obligations, but shall be obligated
to, make any such payment or perform any such other act to be made or performed
by Tenant. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord upon demand for all sums so paid
by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs, together with interest thereon
at the Interest Rate, from the date of such payment by Landlord until reimbursed
by Tenant. This remedy shall be in addition to any other right or remedy of
Landlord set forth in this Paragraph 22.
(f) Late Payment. If Tenant fails to pay any installment of rent within five
(5) days of when due or if Tenant fails to make any other payment for which
Tenant is obligated under this Lease within five (5) days of when due, such
late amount will accrue interest at the Interest Rate and Tenant agrees to pay
Landlord as additional rent such interest on such amount from the date such
amount becomes due until such amount is paid. In addition, Tenant agrees to pay
to Landlord concurrently with such late payment amount, as additional rent, a
late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount due to compensate Landlord
for the extra costs Landlord will incur as a result of such late payment. The
parties agree that (i) it would be impractical and extremely difficult to fix
the actual damage Landlord will suffer in the event of Tenant's late payment,
(ii) such interest and late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of
the detriment that Landlord will suffer by reason of late payment by Tenant, and
(iii) the payment of interest and late charges are distinct and separate in that
the payment of interest is to compensate Landlord for the use of Landlord's
money by Tenant, while the payment of late charges is to compensate Landlord for
Landlord's processing, administrative and other costs incurred by Landlord as a
result of Tenant's delinquent payments. Acceptance of any such interest and late
charge will not constitute a waiver of the Tenant's default with respect to the
overdue amount, or prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and
remedies available to Landlord. If Tenant incurs a late charge more than three
(3) times in any period of twelve (12) months during the Lease Term, then,
notwithstanding that Tenant cures the late payments for which such late charges
are imposed, Landlord will have the right to require Tenant thereafter to pay
all installments of Monthly Base Rent quarterly in advance throughout the
remainder of the Lease Term.
(g) Landlord's Security Interest. Tenant hereby grants to Landlord a lien and
security interest on all property of Tenant now or hereafter placed in or upon
the Premises including, but not limited to, all fixtures, machinery, equipment,
furnishings and other articles of personal property, and all proceeds of the
sale or other disposition of such property (collectively, the "Collateral") to
secure the payment of all rent to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease.
Such lien and security interest shall be in addition to any landlord's lien
provided by law. This Lease shall constitute a security agreement under the
Commercial Code of the State so that Landlord shall have and may enforce a
security interest in the Collateral. Tenant agrees to execute as debtor and
deliver such financing statement or statements and any further documents as
Landlord may now or hereafter reasonably request to protect such security
interest pursuant to such code. Landlord may also at any time file a copy of
this Lease as a financing statement. Landlord, as secured party, shall be
entitled to all rights and remedies afforded as secured party under such code,
which rights and remedies shall be in addition to Landlord's liens and rights
provided by law or by the other terms and provisions of this Lease.
(h) Rights and Remedies Cumulative. All rights, options and remedies of
Landlord contained in this Lease will be construed and held to be cumulative,
and no one of them will be exclusive of the other, and Landlord shall have the
right to pursue any one or all of such remedies or any other remedy or relief
which may be provided by law or in equity, whether or not stated in this Lease.
Nothing in this Paragraph 22 will be deemed to limit or otherwise affect
Tenant's indemnification of Landlord pursuant to any provision of this Lease.
23. LANDLORD'S DEFAULT. Landlord will not be in default in the performance of
any obligation required to be performed by Landlord under this Lease unless
Landlord fails to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after the
receipt of written notice from Tenant specifying in detail Landlord's failure to
perform; provided however, that if the nature of Landlord's obligation is such
that more than thirty (30) days are required for performance, then Landlord will
not be deemed in default if it commences such performance within such thirty
(30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues the same to completion. Upon
any default by Landlord, Tenant may exercise any of its rights provided at law
or in equity, subject to the limitations on liability set forth in Paragraph 35
of this Lease.
24. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
(a) Restriction on Transfer. Except as expressly provided in this
Paragraph 24, Tenant will not, either voluntarily or by operation of law, assign
or encumber this Lease or any interest herein or sublet the Premises or any part
thereof, or permit the use or occupancy of the Premises by any party other than
Tenant (any such assignment, encumbrance, sublease or the like will sometimes be
referred to as a "Transfer"), without the prior written consent of Landlord,
which consent Landlord will not unreasonably withhold.
(b) Corporate and Partnership Transfers. For purposes of this Paragraph 24,
if Tenant is a corporation, partnership or other entity, any transfer,
assignment, encumbrance or hypothecation of twenty-five (25%) or more
(individually or in the aggregate) of any stock or other ownership interest in
such entity, and/or any transfer, assignment, hypothecation or encumbrance of
any controlling ownership or voting interest in such entity, will be deemed a
Transfer and will be subject to all of the restrictions and provisions contained
in this Paragraph 24. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the immediately preceding
sentence will not apply to
-13-
any transfers of stock of Tenant if Tenant is a publicly-held corporation and
such stock is transferred publicly over a recognized security exchange or
over-the-counter market.
(c) Permitted Controlled Transfers. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Paragraph 24 to the contrary. Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet the
Premises or any portion thereof ("Permitted Transfer"), without Landlord's
consent and without extending any sublease termination option to Landlord, to
any parent, subsidiary or affiliate corporation which controls, is controlled by
or is under common control with Tenant, or to any corporation resulting from a
merger or consolidation with Tenant, or to any person or entity which acquires
all the assets of Tenant's business as a going concern, provided that: (i) at
least twenty (20) days prior to such assignment or sublease, Tenant delivers to
Landlord the financial statements and other financial and background information
of the assignee or sublessee described in Subparagraph 24(d) below, (ii) if an
assignment, the assignee assumes, in full, the obligations of Tenant under this
Lease (or if a sublease, the sublessee of a portion of the Premises or Term
assumes, in full, the obligations of Tenant with respect to such portion), (iii)
the financial net worth of the assignee or sublessee as of the time of the
proposed assignment or sublease equals or exceeds that of Tenant as of the date
of execution of this Lease; (iv) Tenant remains fully liable under this Lease;
and (v) the use of the Premises under Paragraph 8 remains unchanged.
(d) Transfer Notice. If Tenant desires to effect a Transfer, then at least
thirty (30) days prior to the date when Tenant desires the Transfer to be
effective (the "Transfer Date"), Tenant agrees to give Landlord a notice (the
"Transfer Notice"), stating the name, address and business of the proposed
assignee, sublessee or other transferee (sometimes referred to hereinafter as
"Transferee"), reasonable information (including references) concerning the
character, ownership, and financial condition of the proposed Transferee, the
Transfer Date, any ownership or commercial relationship between Tenant and the
proposed Transferee, and the consideration and all other material terms and
conditions of the proposed Transfer, all in such detail as Landlord may
reasonably require. If Landlord reasonably requests additional detail, the
Transfer Notice will not be deemed to have been received until Landlord receives
such additional detail, and Landlord may withhold consent to any Transfer until
such information is provided to it.
(e) Landlord's Options. Within fifteen (15) days of Landlord's receipt of any
Transfer Notice, and any additional information requested by Landlord concerning
the proposed Transferee's financial responsibility, Landlord will elect to do
one of the following (i) consent to the proposed Transfer, (ii) refuse such
consent, which refusal shall be on reasonable grounds including, without
limitation, those set forth in Subparagraph 24(f) below, or (iii) terminate this
Lease as to all or such portion of the Premises which is proposed to be sublet
or assigned and recapture all or such portion of the Premises for reletting by
Landlord.
(f) Reasonable Disapproval. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge that
Landlord's disapproval of any proposed Transfer pursuant to Subparagraph 24(e)
will be deemed reasonably withheld if based upon any reasonable factor,
including, without limitation, any or all of the following factors: (i) if the
Building is less than eighty percent (80%) occupied, if the net effective rent
payable by the Transferee (adjusted on a rentable square foot basis) is less
than the net effective rent then being quoted by Landlord for new leases in the
Building for comparable size space for a comparable period of time; (ii) the
proposed Transferee is a governmental entity; (iii) the portion of the Premises
to be sublet or assigned is irregular in shape with inadequate means of ingress
and egress; (iv) the use of the Premises by the Transferee (A) is not permitted
by the use provisions in Paragraph 8 hereof, (B) violates any exclusive use
granted by Landlord to another tenant in the Building, or (C) otherwise poses a
risk of increased liability to Landlord; (v) the Transfer would likely result in
a significant and inappropriate increase in the use of the parking areas or
Development Common Areas by the Transferee's employees or visitors, and/or
significantly increase the demand upon utilities and services to be provided by
Landlord to the Premises; (vi) the Transferee does not have the financial
capability to fulfill the obligations imposed by the Transfer and this Lease;
(vii) the Transferee is not in Landlord's reasonable opinion consistent with
Landlord's desired tenant mix; or (viii) the Transferee poses a business or
other economic risk which Landlord deems unacceptable.
(g) Additional Conditions. A condition to Landlord's consent to any Transfer of
this Lease will be the delivery to Landlord of a true copy of the fully executed
instrument of assignment, sublease, transfer or hypothecation, and, in the case
of an assignment, the delivery to Landlord of an agreement executed by the
Transferee in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, whereby
the Transferee assumes and agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions
of this Lease and to perform all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder. As a
condition for granting its consent to any assignment or sublease, Landlord may
require that the assignee or sublessee remit directly to Landlord on a monthly
basis, all monies due to Tenant by said assignee or sublesee. As a condition to
Landlord's consent to any sublease, such sublease must provide that it is
subject and subordinate to this Lease and to all mortgages; that Landlord may
enforce the provisions of the sublease, including collection of rent; that in
the event of termination of this Lease for any reason, including without
limitation a voluntary surrender by Tenant, or in the event of any reentry or
repossession of the Premises by Landlord, Landlord may, at its option, either
(i) terminate the sublease, or (ii) take over all of the right, title and
interest of Tenant, as sublesse under such sublease, in which case such
sublessee will attorn to Landlord, but that nevertheless Landlord will not (1)
be liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under such sublease, (2) be
subject to any defense or offset previously accrued in favor of the sublessee
against Tenant, or (3) be bound by any previous modification of any sublease
made without Landlord's written consent, or by any previous prepayment by
sublessee of more than one month's rent.
(h) Excess Rent. If Landlord consents to any assignment of this Lease, Tenant
agrees to pay to Landlord, as additional rent, all sums and other consideration
payable to and for the benefit of Tenant by the assignee, on account of the
assignment,as and when such sums and other consideration are due and payable by
the assignee to or for the benefit of Tenant (or, if Landlord so requires, and
without any release of Tenant's liability for the same, Tenant agrees to
instruct the assignee to pay such sums and other consideration directly to
Landlord). If for any sublease, Tenant receives rent or other consideration,
either initially or over the term of the sublease, in excess of the rent fairly
allocable to the portion of the Premises which is subleased based on square
footage. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord as additional rent the excess of each
such payment of rent or other consideration received by Tenant promptly after
its receipt. In calculating excess rent or other consideration which may be
payable to Landlord under this paragraph, Tenant will be entitled to deduct
commercially reasonable third party brokerage commissions and attorneys' fees
and other amounts reasonably and actually expended by Tenant in connection with
such assignment or subletting if acceptable written evidence of such
expenditures is provided to Landlord.
(i) Termination Rights. If Tenant requests Landlord's consent to any assignment
or subletting of all or a portion of the Premises, Landlord will have the right,
as provided in Subparagraph 24(e), to terminate this Lease as to all or such
portion of the Premises which is proposed to be sublet or assigned effective as
of the date Tenant proposes to sublet or assign all or less than all of
-14-
the Premises. Landlord's right to terminate this Lease as to less than all of
the Premises proposed to be sublet or assigned will not terminate as to any
future additional subletting or assignment as a result of Landlord's consent to
a subletting of less than all of the Premises or Landlord's failure to exercise
its termination right with respect to any subletting or assignment. Landlord
will exercise such termination right, if at all, by giving written notice to
Tenant within thirty (30) days of receipt by Landlord of the financial
responsibility information required by this Paragraph 24. Tenant understands and
acknowledges that the option, as provided in this Paragraph 24, to terminate
this Lease as to all or such portion of the Premises which is proposed to be
sublet or assigned rather than approve the subletting or assignment of all or a
portion of the Premises, is a material inducement for Landlord's agreeing to
lease the Premises to Tenant upon the terms and conditions herein set forth. In
the event of any such termination with respect to less than all of the Premises,
the cost of segregating the recaptured space from the balance of the Premises
will be paid by Tenant and Tenant's future monetary obligations under this Lease
will be reduced proportionately on a square footage basis to correspond to the
balance of the Premises which Tenant continues to lease.
(j) No Release. No Transfer will release Tenant of Tenant's obligations under
this Lease or alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay the rent and to
perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. Landlord may
require that any Transferee remit directly to Landlord on a monthly basis, all
monies due Tenant by said Transferee. However, the acceptance of rent by
Landlord from any other person will not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of
any provision hereof. Consent by Landlord to one Transfer will not be deemed
consent to any subsequent Transfer. In the event of default by any Transferee of
Tenant or any successor of Tenant in the performance of any of the terms hereof,
Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting
remedies against such Transferee or successor. Landlord may consent to
subsequent assignments of this Lease or sublettings or amendments or
modifications to this Lease with assignees of Tenant, without notifying Tenant,
or any successor of Tenant, and without obtaining its or their consent thereto
and any such actions will not relieve Tenant of liability under this Lease.
(k) Administrative and Attorneys' Fees. If Tenant effects a Transfer or
requests the consent of Landlord to any Transfer (whether or not such Transfer
is consummated), then, upon demand, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord a
non-refundable administrative fee of Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250.00), plus
any reasonable attorneys' and paralegal fees incurred by Landlord in connection
with such Transfer or request for consent (whether attributable to Landlord's
in-house attorneys or paralegals or otherwise) not to exceed One Hundred Dollars
($100.00) for each one thousand (1,000) rentable square feet of area contained
within the Premises or portion thereof to be assigned or sublet. Acceptance of
the Two Hundred Fifty Dollar ($250.00) administrative fee and/or reimbursement
of Landlord's attorneys' and paralegal fees will in no event obligate Landlord
to consent to any proposed Transfer.
25. SUBORDINATION. Without the necessity of any additional document being
executed by Tenant for the purpose of effecting a subordination, and at the
election of Landlord or any mortgagee or beneficiary with a deed of trust
encumbering the Building and/or the Development, or any lessor of a ground or
underlying lease with respect to the Building, this Lease will be subject and
subordinate at all times to: (i) all ground leases or underlying leases which
may now exist or hereafter be executed affecting the Building; and (ii) the lien
of any mortgage or deed of trust which may now exist or hereafter be executed
for which the Building, the Development or any leases thereof, or Landlord's
interest and estate in any of said items, is specified as security.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord reserves the right to subordinate any
such ground leases or underlying leases or any such liens to this Lease. If any
such ground lease or underlying lease terminates for any reason or any such
mortgage or deed of trust is foreclosed or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure is
made for any reason, at the election of Landlord's successor in interest, Tenant
agrees to attorn to and become the tenant of such successor in which event
Tenant's right to possession of the Premises will not be disturbed as long as
Tenant is not in default under this Lease. Tenant hereby waives its rights under
any law which gives or purports to give Tenant any right to terminate or
otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of Tenant hereunder in
the event of any such foreclosure proceeding or sale. Tenant covenants and
agrees to execute and deliver, upon demand by Landlord and in the form
reasonably required by Landlord, any additional documents evidencing the
priority or subordination of this Lease and Tenant's attornment agreement with
respect to any such ground lease or underlying leases or the lien of any such
mortgage or deed of trust. If Tenant fails to sign and return any such documents
within ten (10) days of receipt, Tenant will be in default hereunder.
26. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.
(a) Tenant's Obligations. Within ten (10) days following any written request
which Landlord may make from time to time, Tenant agrees to execute and deliver
to Landlord a statement, in a form substantially similar to the form of Exhibit
-------
"G" attached hereto or as may reasonably be required by Landlord's lender,
-
certifying: (i) the date of commencement of this Lease; (ii) the fact that this
Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been
modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect, and stating the date
and nature of such modifications); (iii) the date to which the rent and other
sums payable under this Lease have been paid; (iv) that there are no current
defaults under this Lease by either Landlord or Tenant except as specified in
Tenant's statement; and (v) such other matters reasonably requested by Landlord.
Landlord and Tenant intend that any statement delivered pursuant to this
Paragraph 26 may be relied upon by any mortgagee, beneficiary, purchaser or
prospective purchaser of the Building or any interest therein.
(b) Tenant's Failure to Deliver. Tenant's failure to deliver such statement
within such time will be conclusive upon Tenant (i) that this Lease is in full
force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by
Landlord, (ii) that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord's performance, and
(iii) that not more than one (1) month's rent has been paid in advance. Without
limiting the foregoing, if Tenant fails to deliver any such statement within
such ten (10) day period, Landlord may deliver to Tenant an additional request
for such statement and Tenant's failure to deliver such statement to Landlord
within ten (10) days after delivery of such additional request will constitute a
default under this Lease. Tenant agrees to indemnify and protect Landlord from
and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses
(including attorneys' fees and costs) attributable to any failure by Tenant to
timely deliver any such estoppel certificate to Landlord as required by this
Paragraph 26.
27. BUILDING PLANNING. If Landlord requires the Premises for use in conjunction
with another suite or for other reasons connected with the planning program for
the Building, Landlord will have the right, upon sixty (60) days prior written
notice to Tenant, to move Tenant to other space in the Building of substantially
similar size as the Premises, and with tenant improvements of substantially
similar age, quality and layout as then existing in the Premises. Any such
relocation will be at Landlord's cost and expense, including the cost of
providing such substantially similar tenant improvements (but not any furniture
or personal property) and Tenant's reasonable moving, telephone installation and
stationary reprinting costs. If Landlord so relocates Tenant, the terms
-15-
and conditions of this Lease will remain in full force and effect and apply to
the new space, except that (a) a revised Exhibit "A-O" will become part of this
-------------
Lease and will reflect the location of the new space, (b) Paragraph 1 of this
Lease will be amended to include and state all correct data as to the new space,
(c) the new space will thereafter be deemed to be the "Premises", and (d) all
economic terms and conditions (e.g. rent, total Operating Expense Allowance,
etc.) will be adjusted on a per square foot basis based on the total number of
rentable square feet of area contained in the new space. Landlord and Tenant
agree to cooperate fully with one another in order to minimize the inconvenience
of Tenant resulting from any such relocation. However, if the new space does not
meet with Tenant's reasonable approval, Tenant will have the right to cancel
this Lease upon giving Landlord thirty (30) days notice within ten (10) days of
receipt of Landlord's relocation notification; provided, however, Landlord has
the right, by written notice to Tenant given within ten (10) days following
receipt of Tenant's cancellation notice to rescind Landlord's relocation notice,
in which event Landlord's relocation notice will be rescinded, Tenant's
cancellation notice will be cancelled and this Lease will remain in full force
and effect. If Tenant cancels this Lease pursuant to this Paragraph 27, Tenant
agrees to vacate Building and the Premises within thirty (30) days of its
delivery to Landlord of the notice of cancellation.
28. RULES AND REGULATIONS. Tenant agrees to faithfully observe and comply with
the "Rules and Regulations," a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated
herein by this reference as Exhibit "H", and all reasonable and
-----------
nondiscriminatory modifications thereof and additions thereto from time to time
put into effect by Landlord. Landlord will not be responsible to Tenant for the
violation or non-performance by any other tenant or occupant of the Building of
any of the Rules and Regulations.
29. MODIFICATIONS AND CURE RIGHTS OF LANDLORD'S MORTGAGEES AND LESSORS.
(a) Modifications. If, in connection with Landlord's obtaining or entering
into any financing or ground lease for any portion of the Building or the
Development, the lender or ground lessor requests modification to this Lease,
Tenant within ten (10) days after requests therefor, agrees to execute an
amendment to this Lease incorporating such modifications, provided such
modifications are reasonable and do not increase the obligations of Tenant under
this Lease or adversely affect the leasehold estate created by this Lease.
(b) Cure Rights. In the event of any default on the part of Landlord, Tenant
will give notice by registered or certified mail to any beneficiary of a deed of
trust or mortgage covering the Premises or ground lessor of Landlord whose
address had been furnished to Tenant, and Tenant agrees to offer such
beneficiary, mortgagee or ground lessor a reasonable opportunity to cure the
default (including with respect to any such beneficiary or mortgagee, time to
obtain possession of the Premises, subject to this Lease and Tenant's rights
hereunder, by power of sale or a judicial foreclosure, if such should prove
necessary to effect a sure).
30. DEFINITION OF LANDLORD. The term "Landlord," as used in this Lease, so far
as covenants or obligations on the part of Landlord are concerned, means and
includes only the owner and owners, at the time in question, of the fee title of
the Premises or the lessees under any ground lease, if any. In the event of any
transfer, assignment or other conveyance or transfers of any such title (other
than a transfer for security purposes only), Landlord herein named (and in case
of any subsequent transfers or conveyances, the then grantor) will be
automatically relieved from and after the date of such transfer, assignment or
conveyance of all liability as respects the performance of any covenants or
obligations on the part of Landlord contained in this Lease thereafter to be
performed, so long as the transferee assumes in writing all such covenants and
obligations of Landlord arising after the date of such transfer. Landlord and
Landlord's transferees and assignees have the absolute right to transfer all or
any portion of their respective title and interest in the Development, the
Building, the Premises and/or this Lease without the consent of Tenant, and such
transfer or subsequent transfer will not be deemed a violation on Landlord's
part of any of the terms and conditions of this Lease.
31. WAIVER. The waiver by either party of any breach of any term, covenant or
condtion herein contained will not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent
breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained,
nor will any custom or practice which may develop between the parties in the
administration of the terms hereof be deemed a waiver of or in any way affect
the right of either party to insist upon performance in strict accordance with
said terms. The subsequent acceptance of rent or any other payment hereunder by
Landlord will not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of
any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant
to pay the particular rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of
such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent. No acceptance by
Landlord of a lesser sum than the basic rent and additional rent or other sum
then due will be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest installment
of such rent or other amount due, nor will any endorsement or statement on any
check or any letter accompanying any check be deemed an accord and satisfaction,
and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's
right to recover the balance of such installment or other amount or pursue any
other remedy provided in this Lease. The consent or approval of Landlord to or
of any act by Tenant requiring Landlord's consent or approval will not be deemed
to waive or render unnecessary Landlord's consent or approval to or of any
subsequent similar acts by Tenant.
32. PARKING.
(a) Grant of Parking Rights. So long as this Lease is in effect and provided
Tenant is not in default hereunder, Landlord grants to Tenant and Tenant's
Authorized Users (as defined below) a license to use the number and type of
parking spaces designated in Subparagraph 1(s) subject to the terms and
conditions of this Paragraph 32 and the Rules and Regulations regarding parking
contained in Exhibit "H" attached hereto. Except as otherwise expressly set
-----------
forth in Subparagraph 1(s), as consideration for the use of such parking spaces,
Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord or, at Landlord's election, directly to
Landlord's parking operator, as additional rent under this Lease, the prevailing
parking rate for each such parking space as established by Landlords in its
discretion from time to time. Tenant agrees that all parking charges
will be payable on a monthly basis concurrently with each monthly payment of
Monthly Base Rent. Tenant agrees to submit to Landlord or, at Landlord's
election, directly to Landlord's parking operator with a copy to Landlord,
written notice in a form reasonably specified by Landlord containing the names,
home and office addresses and telephone numbers of those persons who are
authorized by Tenant to use Tenant's parking spaces on a monthly basis
("Tenant's Authorized Users") and shall use its best efforts to identify each
vehicle of Tenant's Authorized Users by make, model and license number. Tenant
agree to deliver such notice prior to the beginning of the Term of this Lease
and to periodically update such notice as well as upon specific request by
Landlord or Landlord's parking operator to reflect changes to Tenant's
Authorized Users or their vehicles.
-16-
(b) Visitor Parking. So long as this Lease is in effect, Tenant's visitors and
guests will be entitled to use those specific parking areas which are designated
for short term visitor parking and which are located within the surface parking
area(s), if any, and/or within the parking structure(s) which serve the
Building. Visitor parking will be made available at a charge to Tenant's
visitors and guests, with the rate being established by Landlord in its
discretion from time to time. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, may elect to
validate such parking for its visitors and guests. All such visitor parking will
be on a non-exclusive, in common basis with all other visitors and guests of the
Development.
(c) Use of Parking Spaces. Tenant will not use or allow any of Tenant's
Authorized Users to use any parking spaces which have been specifically assigned
by Landlord to other tenants or occupants or for other uses such as visitor
parking or which have been designated by any governmental entity as being
restricted to certain uses. Tenant will not be entitled to increase or reduce
its parking privileges applicable to the Premises during the Term of the Lease
except as follows: If at any time Tenant desires to increase or reduce the
number of parking spaces allocated to it under the terms of this Lease. Tenant
must notify Landlord in writing of such desire and Landlord will have the right,
in its sole and absolute discretion, to either (a) approve such requested
increase in the number of parking spaces allocated to Tenant (with an
appropriate increase to the additional rent payable to Tenant for such
additional spaces based on the then prevailing parking rates), (b) approve such
requested decrease in the number of parking spaces allocated to Tenant (with an
appropriate reduction in the additional rent payable by Tenant for such
eliminated parking spaces based on the then prevailing parking rates), or (c)
disapprove such requested increase or decrease in the number of parking spaces
allocated to Tenant. Promptly following receipt of Tenant's written request,
Landlord will provide Tenant with written notice of its decision including a
statement of any adjustments to the additional rent payable by Tenant for
parking under the Lease, if applicable.
(d) General Provisions. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Subparagraph
1(s), Landlord reserves the right to set and increase monthly fees and/or daily
and hourly rates for parking privileges from time to time during the Term of the
Lease. Landlord may assign any unreserved and unassigned parking spaces and/or
make all or any portion of such spaces reserved, if Landlord reasonably
determines that it is necessary for orderly and efficient parking or for any
other reasonable reason. Failure to pay the rent for any particular parking
spaces or failure to comply with any terms and conditions of this Lease
applicable to parking may be treated by Landlord as a default under this Lease
and, in addition to all other remedies available to Landlord under the Lease, at
law or in equity, Landlord may elect to recapture such parking spaces for the
balance of the Term of this Lease if Tenant does not cure such failure within
the applicable cure period set forth in Paragraph 22 of this Lease. In such
event, Tenant and Tenant's Authorized Users will be deemed visitors for purposes
of parking space use and will be entitled to use only those parking areas
specifically designated for visitor parking subject to all provisions of this
Lease applicable to such visitor parking use. Except in connection with an
assignment or sublease expressly permitted under the terms of this Lease,
Tenant's parking rights and privileges described herein are personal to Tenant
and may not be assigned or transferred or otherwise conveyed, without Landlord's
prior written consent, which consent Landlord may withhold in its sole and
absolute discretion. In any event, under no circumstances may Tenant's parking
rights and privileges be transferred, assigned or otherwise conveyed separate
and apart from Tenant's interest in this Lease.
(e) Cooperation with Traffic Mitigation Measures. Tenant agrees to use its
reasonable, good faith efforts to cooperate in traffic mitigation programs which
may be undertaken by Landlord independently, or in cooperation with local
municipalities or governmental agencies or other property owners in the vicinity
of the Building. Such programs may include, but will not be limited to,
carpools, vanpools and other ridesharing programs, public and private transit,
flexible work hours, preferential assigned parking programs and programs to
coordinate tenants within the Development with existing or proposed traffic
mitigation programs.
(f) Parking Rules and Regulations. Tenant and Tenant's Authorized Users shall
comply with all rules and regulations regarding parking set forth in Exhibit "H"
-----------
attached hereto and Tenant agrees to cause its employees, subtenants, assignees,
contractors, suppliers, customers and invitees to comply with such rules and
regulations. Landlord reserves the right from time to time to modify and/or
adopt such other reasonable and non-discriminatory rules and regulations for the
parking facilities as it deems reasonably necessary for the operation of the
parking facilities.
33. FORCE MAJEURE. If either Landlord or Tenant is delayed, hindered in or
prevented from the performance of any act required under this Lease by reason of
strikes, lock-outs, labor troubles, inability to procure standard materials,
failure of power, restrictive governmental laws, regulations or orders or
governmental action or inaction (including failure, refusal or delay in issuing
permits, approvals and/or authorizations which is not the result of the action
or inaction of the party claiming such delay), riots, civil unrest or
insurrection, war, fire, earthquake, flood or other natural disaster, unusual
and unforeseeable delay which results from an interruption of any public
utilities (e.g., electricity, gas, water, telephone) or other unusual and
unforeseeable delay not within the reasonable control of the party delayed in
performing work or doing acts required under the provisions of this Lease, then
performance of such act will be excused for the period of the delay and the
period for the performance of any such act will be extended for a period
equivalent to the period of such delay. The provisions of this Paragraph 33 will
not operate to excuse Tenant from prompt payment of rent or any other payments
required under the provisions of this Lease.
34. SIGNS. Landlord will designate the location on the Premises, if any, for
one or more Tenant identification sign(s). Tenant agrees to have Landlord
install and maintain Tenant's identification sign(s) in such designated location
in accordance with this Paragraph 34 at Tenant's sole cost and expense. Tenant
has no right to install Tenant identification signs in any other location in, on
or about the Premises of the Development and will not display or erect any other
signs, displays or other advertising materials that are visible from the
exterior of the Building or from within the Building in any interior or exterior
common areas. The size, design, color and other physical aspects of any and all
permitted sign(s) will be subject to (i) Landlord's written approval prior to
installation, which approval may be withheld in Landlord's discretion, (ii) any
covenants, conditions or restrictions governing the Premises, and (iii) any
applicable municipal or governmental permits and approvals. Tenant will be
solely responsible for all costs for installation, maintenance, repair and
removal of any Tenant identification sign(s). If Tenant fails to remove Tenant's
sign(s) upon termination of this Lease and repair any damage caused by such
removal, Landlord may do so at Tenant's sole cost and expense. Tenant agrees to
reimburse Landlord for all costs incurred by Landlord to effect any
installation, maintenance or removal on Tenant's account, which amount will be
deemed additional rent, and may include, without limitation, all sums disbursed,
incurred or deposited by Landlord including Landlord's costs, expenses and
actual attorneys' fees with interest thereon at the Interest Rate from the date
of Landlord's demand until paid by Tenant. Any sign rights granted to Tenant
under this Lease are personal to
-17-
Tenant and may not be assigned, transferred or otherwise conveyed to any
assignee or subtenant of Tenant without Landlord's prior written consent, which
consent Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion.
35. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY. In consideration of the benefits accruing
hereunder. Tenant on behalf of itself and all successors and assigns of Tenant
covenants and agrees that, in the event of any actual or alleged failure, breach
or default hereunder by Landlord: (a) Tenant's recourse against Landlord for
monetary damages will be limited to Landlord's interest in the Building
including, subject to the prior rights of any Mortgagee, Landlord's interest in
the rents of the Building and any insurance proceeds payable to Landlord: (b)
Except as may be necessary to secure jurisdiction of the partnership, no partner
of Landlord shall be sued or named as a party in any suit or action and no
service of process shall be made against any partner of Landlord; (c) No partner
of Landlord shall be required to answer or otherwise plead to any service of
process; (d) No judgment will be taken against any partner of Landlord and any
judgment taken against any partner of Landlord may be vacated and set aside at
any time after the fact; (e) No writ of execution will be levied against the
assets of any partner of Landlord; (f) The obligations under this Lease do not
constitute personal obligations of the individual partners, directors, officers
or shareholders of Landlord, and Tenant shall not seek recourse against the
individual partners, directors, officers or shareholders of Landlord or any of
their personal assets for satisfaction of any liability in respect to this
Lease; and (g) These covenants and agreements are enforceable both by Landlord
and also by any partner of Landlord.
36. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Prior to the execution of this Lease by Landlord and
at any time during the Term of this Lease upon ten (10) days prior written
notice from Landlord, Tenant agrees to provide Landlord with a current financial
statement for Tenant and any guarantors of Tenant and financial statements for
the two (2) years prior to the current financial statement year for Tenant and
any guarantors of Tenant. Such statements are to be prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and, if such is the normal practice of
Tenant, audited by an independent certified public accountant.
37. QUIET ENJOYMENT. Landlord covenants and agrees with Tenant that upon Tenant
paying the rent required under this Lease and paying all other charges and
performing all of the covenants and provisions on Tenant's part to be observed
and performed under this Lease, Tenant may peaceably and quietly have, hold and
enjoy the Premises in accordance with this Lease.
38. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) Conflict of Laws. This Lease shall be governed by and construed solely
pursuant to the laws of the State, without giving effect to choice of law
principles thereunder.
(b) Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, all of
the covenants, conditions and provisions of this Lease shall be binding upon and
shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs,
personal representatives, successors and assigns.
(c) Professional Fees and Costs. If either Landlord or Tenant should bring suit
against the other with respect to this Lease, then all costs and expenses,
including without limitation, actual professional fees and costs such as
appraisers', accountants' and attorneys' fees and costs, incurred by the party
which prevails in such action, whether by final judgment or out of court
settlement, shall be paid by the other party, which obligation on the part of
the other party shall be deemed to have accrued on the date of the commencement
of such action and shall be enforceable whether or not the action is prosecuted
to judgment. As used herein, attorneys' fees and costs shall include, without
limitation, attorneys' fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with any
(i) postjudgment motions; (ii) contempt proceedings; (iii) garnishment, levy,
and debtor and third party examination; (iv) discovery; and (v) bankruptcy
litigation.
(d) Terms and Headings. The words "Landlord" and "Tenant" as used herein shall
include the plural as well as the singular. Words used in any gender include
other genders. The paragraph headings of this Lease are not a part of this Lease
and shall have no effect upon the construction or interpretation of any part
hereof.
(e) Time. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of every
provision of this Lease in which time of performance is a factor.
(f) Prior Agreement; Amendments. This Lease constitutes and is intended by the
parties to be a final, complete and exclusive statement of their entire
agreement with respect to the subject matter of this Lease. This Lease
supersedes any and all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings
of any kind relating to the subject matter of this Lease. There are no other
agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, or statements, either
oral or in written form, concerning the subject matter of this Lease. No
alteration, modification, amendment or interpretation of this Lease shall be
binding on the parties unless contained in a writing which is signed by both
parties.
(g) Separability. The provisions of this Lease shall be considered separable
such that if any provision or part of this Lease is ever held to be invalid,
void or illegal under any law or ruling, all remaining provisions of this Lease
shall remain in full force and effect to the maximum extent permitted by law.
(h) Recording. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall record this Lease nor a short
form memorandum thereof without the consent of the other.
(i) Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in one or more counterparts, each
of which shall constitute an original and all of which shall be one and the same
agreement.
(j) Nondisclosure of Lease Terms. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the terms
of this Lease are confidential and constitute proprietary information of
Landlord. Disclosure of the terms could adversely affect the ability of Landlord
to negotiate other leases and impair Landlord's relationship with other tenants.
Accordingly, Tenant agrees that it, and its partners, officers, directors,
employees, agents and attorneys, shall not intentionally and voluntarily
disclosure the terms and conditions of this Lease to any newspaper or other
publication or any other tenant or apparent prospective tenant of the Building
or other portion of the
-18-
Development, or real estate agent, either directly or indirectly, without the
prior written consent of Landlord, provided, however, that Tenant may disclose
the terms to prospective subtenants or assignees under this Lease.
(k) Non-Discrimination. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that there shall be no
discrimination against, or segregation of, any person, group of persons, or
entity on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, age, sex, marital status,
national origin, or ancestry in the leasing, subleasing, transferring,
assignment, occupancy, tenure, use, or enjoyment of the Premises, or any portion
thereof.
39 EXECUTION OF LEASE.
(a) Joint and Several Obligations. If more than one person executes this Lease
as Tenant, their execution of this Lease will constitute their covenant and
agreement that (i) each of them is jointly and severally liable for the keeping,
observing and performing of all of the terms, covenants, provisions and
agreements of this Lease to be kept, observed and performed by Tenant, and (ii)
the term "Tenant" as used in this Lease means and includes each of them jointly
and severally. The act of or notice from, or notice or refund to, or the
signature of any one or more of them, with respect to the tenancy of this Lease,
including, but not limited to, any renewal, extension, expiration, termination
or modification of this Lease, will be binding upon each and all of the persons
executing this Lease as Tenant with the same force and effect as if each and all
of them had so acted or so given or received such notice or refund or so signed.
(b) Tenant as Corporation or Partnership. If Tenant executes this Lease as a
corporation or partnership, then Tenant and the persons executing the Lease on
behalf of Tenant represent and warrant that such entity is duly qualified and in
good standing to do business in California and that the individuals executing
this Lease on Tenant's behalf are duly authorized to execute and deliver this
Lease on its behalf, and in the case of a corporation, in accordance with a duly
adopted resolution of the board of directors of Tenant, a copy of which is to be
delivered to Landlord on execution hereof, if requested by Landlord, and in
accordance with the by-laws of Tenant, and, in the case of a partnership, in
accordance with the partnership agreement and the most current amendments
thereto, if any, copies of which are to be delivered to Landlord on execution
hereof, if requested by Landlord, and that this Lease is binding upon Tenant in
accordance with its terms.
(c) Examination of Lease. Submission of this instrument by Landlord to Tenant
for examination or signature by Tenant does not constitute a reservation of or
option for lease, and it is not effective as a lease or otherwise until
execution by and delivery to both Landlord and Tenant.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Lease to be duly executed by
their duly authorized representatives as of the date first above written.

40. OPTION TO EXTEND:
----------------
(a) Subject to the terms of this Paragraph #40 and Paragraph #41
entitled "Options," Landlord hereby grants to Tenant an option (the "Extension
Option") to extend the Term of the Lease for an additional period of five (5)
years (the "Option Term"), on the same terms, covenants and conditions as
provided for in the Lease during the initial Lease Term, except that all
economic terms such as, without limitation, Monthly Basic Rent, an Operating
Expense Allowance, if any, parking charges, partially abated rent, etc., shall
be established based on the "fair market rental rate" for the Premises for the
Option Term as defined and determined in accordance with the provisions of this
Paragraph below.
(b) In no event shall the Monthly Base Rent be less than the Monthly
Base Rent for the last month of the initial Term of the Lease.
(c) The Extension Option must be exercised, if at all, by written
notice ("Extension Notice") delivered by Tenant to Landlord no earlier than the
date which is two hundred seventy (270) days, and no later than the date which
is one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the then current
Term of the Lease.
(d) The term "fair market rental rate" as used in the Lease and any
Rider or Addendum attached thereto shall mean Landlord's reasonable and good
faith determination of the annual amount per rentable square foot, projected
during the relevant period, that a willing, comparable, non-equity tenant
(excluding sublease and assignment transactions) would pay, and a willing,
comparable landlord of a comparable Class "A" quality office building located in
the Newport Beach-Irvine-Costa Mesa airport area ("Comparison Area") would
accept, at arm's length (what Landlord is accepting in current transactions for
the Building may be considered), for space comparable size, quality and floor
height as the leased area at issue taking into account the age, quality and
layout of the existing improvements in the leased area at issue and taking into
account items that professional real estate brokers customarily consider,
including, but not limited to, rental rates, office space availability, tenant
size, tenant improvement allowances, operating expenses and allowance, parking
charges, free rent, free parking and any other lease concessions, if any, then
being charged or granted by Landlord or the lessors of such similar office
buildings.
(e) Landlord's determination of the fair market rental rate shall be
delivered to Tenant in writing ("Landlord's Determination") within fifteen (15)
days following Landlord's receipt of the Extension Notice. If Tenant reasonably
objects to Landlord's Determination, then Tenant shall have the right, by
delivering written notice to Landlord within fifteen (15) days following
Tenant's receipt of Landlord's Determination, to rescind Tenant's Extension
Notice, in which event, Tenant's Extension Option shall be void and of no
further force or effect.
41. OPTIONS:
-------
(a) Definition: As used in this Paragraph, the word "Option" has the
----------
following meaning:
(i) The Option to Extend pursuant to Paragraph 40 herein.
(b) Option Personal: Each Option granted to Tenant is personal to the
---------------
original Tenant executing this Lease and may be exercised only by the original
Tenant executing this Lease while occupying the entire Premises (as expanded)
and without the intent of thereafter assigning this Lease or subletting the
Premises (as expanded) and may not be exercised or be assigned, voluntarily or
involuntarily, by any person or entity other than the original Tenant executing
this Lease. The Options, if any, granted to Tenant under this Lease are not
assignable separate and apart from this Lease, nor may any Option be separated
from this Lease in any manner, either by reservation or otherwise.
(c) Effect of Default on Option: Tenant shall have no right to
---------------------------
exercise any Option, notwithstanding any provision of the grant of Option to the
contrary, and Tenant's exercise of any Option may be nullified by Landlord and
deemed of no further force or effect, if Tenant shall be in default of any
monetary obligation or material non-monetary obligation under the terms of the
Lease (or if Tenant would be in such default under the Lease but for the passage
of time or the giving of

time after the exercise of any such Option and prior to the commencement of the
Option event.

RENTABLE SQUARE FEET AND USABLE SQUARE FEET
-------------------------------------------
1. The term "Rentable Square Feet" as used in the Lease will be deemed to
include: (a) with respect to the Premises, the usable area of the Premises
determined in accordance with the Method for Measuring Floor Area in Office
Buildings, ANSI Z65 1-1980 (the "BOMA Standard"), plus a pro rata portion of the
main lobby area on the ground floor and all elevator machine rooms, electrical
and telephone equipment rooms and mail delivery facilities and other areas used
by all tenants of the Building, if any, plus (i) for single tenancy floors, all
the area covered by the elevator lobbies, corridors, special stairways,
restrooms, mechanical rooms, electrical rooms and telephone closets on such
floors, or (ii) for multiple tenancy floors, a pro-rata portion of all of the
area covered by the elevator lobbies, corridors, special stairways, restrooms,
mechanical rooms, electrical rooms and telephone closets on such floor; and (b)
with respect to the Building, the total rentable area for all floors in the
Building computed in accordance with the provisions of Subparagraph 1(a) above.
In calculating the "Rentable Square Feet" of the Premises or the Building, the
area contained within the exterior walls of the Building stairs, fire towers,

Premises or as against Landlord's business of leasing the Premises;
(b) any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge in substitution, partially or
totally, of any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge previously included within
the definition of real property tax, it being acknowledge by Tenant and Landlord
that Proposition 13 was adopted by the voters of the State of California in the
June, 1978 election and that assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges may be
imposed by governmental agencies for such services as fire protection, street,
sidewalk and road maintenance, refuse removal and for other governmental
services formerly provided without charge to property owners or occupants. It is
the intention of Tenant and Landlord that all such new and increased

federal government, or any political subdivision thereof, with respect to the

instituted within the geographic area of which the Building is a part.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time after the Commencement Date, the
amount of Real Property Taxes and Assessments decreases, then for purposes of
all subsequent Lease Years, including the Lease Year in which such decrease in
Real Property Taxes and Assessments occurs, Tenant's Operating Expense Allowance
shall be decreased by an amount equal to such decrease in Real Property Taxes
and Assessments.
3. Items Excluded From Operating Expenses. Notwithstanding the provisions of
---------------------------------------
Paragraphs 1 and 2 above to the contrary, "Operating Expenses" will not include:
(a) Landlord's federal or state income, franchise, inheritance or estate taxes;
(b) any ground lease rental;
(c) costs incurred by Landlord for the repair of damage to the Building to the
extent that Landlord is reimbursed by insurance or condemnation proceeds or by

(d) depreciation, amortization and interest payments, except as specifically
provided herein, and except on materials, tools, supplies and vendor-type
equipment purchased by Landlord to enable Landlord to supply services Landlord
might otherwise contract for with a third party, where such depreciation,
amortization and interest payments would otherwise have been included in the
charge for such third party's services, all as determined in accordance with
standard accounting practices;
(e) brokerage commissions, finders' fees, attorneys' fees, space planning costs
and other costs incurred by Landlord in leasing or attempting to lease space in
the Building;
(f) costs of a capital nature, including, without limitation, capital

for tenants or other occupants of the Building, including space planning and
interior design costs and fees;
(i) attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with
negotiations or disputes with present or prospective tenants or other occupants
of the Building; provided, however, that Operating Expenses will include those
attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with
negotiations, disputes or claims relating to items of Operating Expenses,
enforcement of rules and regulations of the Building, and such other matters
relating to the maintenance of standards required of Landlord under the Lease;
(j) except for the administrative/management fees described in Subparagraph
l(h) above, costs of Landlord's general corporate overhead;

STANDARDS FOR UTILITIES AND SERVICES
------------------------------------
The following standards for utilities and services are in effect. Landlord
reserves the right to adopt nondiscriminatory modifications and additions
hereto.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Lease and provided Tenant remains in
occupancy of the Premises, Landlord will provide or make available the
following utilities and services.
1. Provide non-attended automatic elevator facilities Monday through Friday,
except holidays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and have one elevator available for
Tenant's use at all other times.
2. On Monday through Friday, except holidays, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on
Saturday from 8 a.m. to 12 Noon (and other times for a reasonable additional
charge to be fixed by Landlord), ventilate the Premises and furnish air
conditioning or heating on such days and hours, when in the reasonable judgment
of Landlord it may be required for the comfortable occupancy of the Premises.
The air conditioning system achieves maximum cooling when the window coverings
are extended to the full length of the window opening and adjusted to a
45(degree) angle upwards. Landlord will not be responsible for room temperatures
if Tenant does not keep all window coverings in the Premises extended to the
full length of the window opening and adjusted to a 45(degree) angle upwards
whenever the system is in operation. Tenant agrees to cooperate fully at all
times with Landlord, and to abide by all reasonable regulations and requirements
which Landlord may prescribe for the proper function and protection of said air
conditioning system. Tenant agrees not to connect any apparatus, device, conduit
or pipe to the chilled and hot water air conditioning supply lines of the
Building. Tenant further agrees that neither Tenant nor its servants, employees,
agents, visitors, licensees or contractors shall at any time enter the
mechanical installations or facilities of the Building or the Development or
adjust, tamper with, touch or otherwise in any manner affect said installations
or facilities. The cost of maintenance and service calls to adjust and regulate
the air conditioning system will be charged to Tenant if the need for
maintenance work results from either Tenant's adjustment of room thermostats or
Tenant's failure to comply with its obligations under this Exhibit, including
keeping window coverings extended to the full length of the window opening and
adjusted to a 45(degree) angle upwards. Such work will be charged at hourly
rates equal to then current journeyman's wages for air conditioning mechanics.
3. Landlord will make available to the Premises, 24 hours per day, seven days a
week, electric current as required by the Building standard office lighting and
fractional horsepower office business machines including copiers, personal
computers and word processing equipment in an amount not to exceed six (6) ▇▇▇▇▇
per square foot per normal business day. Tenant agrees, should its electrical
installation or electrical consumption be in excess of the aforesaid quantity or
extend beyond normal business hours, to reimburse Landlord monthly for the
measured consumption at the average cost per kilowatt hour charged to the
Building during the period. If a separate meter is not installed at Tenant's
cost, such excess cost will be established by an estimate agreed upon by
Landlord and Tenant, and if the parties fail to agree, such cost will be
established by an independent licensed engineer selected in Landlord's
reasonable discretion, whose fee shall be shared equally by Landlord and Tenant.
Tenant agrees not to use any apparatus or device in, upon or about the Premises
(other than standard office business machines, personal computers and word
processing equipment) which may in any way increase the amount of such services
usually furnished or supplied to said Premises, and Tenant further agrees not to
connect any apparatus or device with wires, conduits or pipes, or other means by
which such services are supplied, for the purpose of using additional or unusual
amounts of such services without the written consent of Landlord. Should Tenant
use the same to excess, the refusal on the part of Tenant to pay upon demand of
Landlord the amount established by Landlord for such excess charge will
constitute a breach of the obligation to pay rent under this Lease and will
entitle Landlord to the rights therein granted for such breach. Tenant's use of
electric current will never exceed the capacity of the feeders to the Building,
or the risers or wiring installation and Tenants will not install or use or
permit the installation or use of any computer or electronic data processing
equipment in the Premises (except standard office business machines, personal
computers and word processing equipment) without the prior written consent of
Landlord.
4. Water will be available in public areas for drinking and lavatory purposes
only, but if Tenant requires, uses or consumes water for any purpose in addition
to ordinary drinking and lavatory purposes, of which fact Tenant constitutes
Landlord to be the sole judge, Landlord may install a water meter and thereby
measure Tenant's water consumption for all purposes. Tenant agrees to pay
Landlord for the cost of the meter and the cost of the installation thereof and
throughout the duration of Tenant's occupancy Tenant will keep said meter and
installation equipment in good working order and repair at Tenant's own cost and
expense, in default of which Landlord may cause such meter and equipment to be
replaced or repaired and collect the cost thereof from Tenant. Tenant agrees to
pay for water consumed, as shown on such meter, as and when bills are rendered,
and on default in making such payment, Landlord may pay such charges and collect
the same from Tenant. Any such costs or expenses incurred, or payments made by
Landlord for any of the reasons or purposes hereinabove stated will be deemed to
be additional rent payable by Tenant and collectible by Landlord as such.
5. Landlord will provide janitor service to the Premises, provided the same are
used exclusively as offices, and are kept reasonably in order by Tenant, and
unless otherwise agreed to by Landlord and Tenant no one other than persons
approved by Landlord shall be permitted to enter the Premises for such purposes.
If the Premises are not used exclusively as offices, they will be kept clean and
in order by Tenant, at Tenant's expense, and to the satisfaction of Landlord,
and by persons approved by Landlord. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord the cost
of removal of any of Tenant's refuse and rubbish to the extent that the same
exceeds the refuse and rubbish usually attendant upon the use of the Premises as
offices.
6. Landlord reserves the right to stop service of the elevator, plumbing,
ventilation, air conditioning and electrical systems, when necessary, by reason
of accident or emergency or for repairs, alterations or improvements, when in
the judgment of Landlord such actions are desirable or necessary to be made,
until said repairs, alterations or improvements shall have been completed, and
Landlord will have no responsibility or liability for failure to supply elevator
facilities, plumbing, ventilating, air conditioning or electric service, when
prevented from so doing by strike or accident or by any cause beyond Landlord's
reasonable control, or by laws, rules, orders, ordinances, directions,
regulations or by reason of the requirements of any federal, state, county or
municipal authority or failure of gas, oil or other suitable fuel supply or
inability by exercise of reasonable diligence to obtain gas, oil or other
suitable fuel supply. It is expressly understood and agreed that any covenants
on Landlord's part to furnish any services pursuant to any of the terms,
covenants, conditions, provisions or agreements of this Lease, or to perform any
act or thing for the benefit of Tenant, will not be deemed breached if Landlord
is unable to furnish or perform the same by virtue of a strike or labor trouble
or any other cause whatsoever beyond Landlord's control.

Regulations are attached, no sign, placard, picture, advertisement, name or
notice may be installed or displayed on any part of the outside or inside of the
Building or the Development without the prior written consent of Landlord.
Landlord will have the right to remove, at Tenant's expense and without notice,
any sign installed or displayed in violation of this rule. All approved signs or
lettering on doors and walls are to be printed, painted, affixed or inscribed at
the expense of Tenant and under the direction of Landlord by a person or company
designated or approved by Landlord.
2. If Landlord objects in writing to any curtains, blinds, shades, screens or
hanging plants or other similar objects attached to or used in connection with
any window or door of the Premises, or placed on any windowsill, which is

such use. Tenant agrees not to place anything against or near glass partitions
or doors or windows which may appear unsightly from outside the Premises
including from within any interior common areas.
3. Tenant will not obstruct any sidewalks, halls, passages, exits, entrances,
elevators, escalators, or stairways of the Development. The halls, passages,
exits, entrances, elevators and stairways are not open to the general public,
but are open, subject to reasonable regulations, to Tenant's business invitees.
Landlord will in all cases retain the right to control and prevent access
thereto of all persons whose presence in the reasonable judgment of Landlord
would be prejudicial to the safety, character, reputation and interest of the
Development and its tenants, provided that nothing herein contained will be
construed to prevent such access to persons with whom any tenant normally deals
in the ordinary course of its business, unless such persons are engaged in
illegal or unlawful activities. No tenant and no employee or invitee of any
tenant will go upon the roof of the Building.
4. Tenant will not obtain for use on the Premises ice, drinking water, food,
food vendors, beverage, towel or other similar services or accept barbering or

as may be expressly permitted under the Lease. Landlord reserves the right to
restrict and regulate the use of the common areas of the Development and
Building by invitees of tenants providing services to tenants on a periodic or
daily basis including food and beverage vendors. Such restrictions may include
limitations on time, place, manner and duration of access to a tenant's premises
for such purposes. Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord may require that
such parties use service elevators, halls, passageways and stairways for such
purposes to preserve access within the Building for tenants and the general
public.
5. Landlord reserves the right to require tenants to periodically provide
Landlord with a written list of any and all business invitees which periodically
or regularly provide goods and services to such tenants at the premises.
Landlord reserves the right to preclude all vendors from entering or conducting
business within the Building and the Development if such vendors are not listed
on a tenant's list of requested vendors.

6 p.m. and 8 am. the following business day, or such other hours as may be
established from time to time by Landlord, and on Sundays and legal holidays,
any person unless that person is known to the person or employee in charge of
the Building or has a pass or is properly identified. Tenant will be responsible
for all persons for whom it requests passes and will be liable to Landlord for
all acts of such persons. Landlord will not be liable for damages for any error
with regard to the admission to or exclusion from the Building of any person.
Landlord reserves the right to prevent access to the Building in case of
invasion, mob, riot, public excitement or other commotion by closing the doors

in the Premises. Landlord may make a reasonable charge for any additional keys.
Tenant shall not make or have made additional keys, and Tenant shall not alter
any lock or install any new additional lock or bolt on any door of the Premises.
Tenant, upon the termination of its tenancy, will deliver to Landlord the keys
to all doors which have been furnished to Tenant, and in the event of loss of
any keys so furnished, will pay Landlord therefor.
10. If Tenant requires telegraphic, telephonic, burglar alarm, satellite dishes,
antennae or similar services, it will first obtain Landlord's approval, and
comply with, Landlord's reasonable rules and requirements applicable to such
services, which may include separate licensing by, and fees paid to, Landlord.
11. Freight elevator(s) will be available for use by all tenants in the
Building, subject to such reasonable scheduling as Landlord, in its discretion,
deems appropriate. No equipment, materials, furniture, packages, supplies,

other property brought into the Building. Heavy objects will, if considered
necessary by Landlord, stand on such platforms as determined by Landlord to be

sufficient to eliminate noise or vibration. Tenant will be responsible for all
structural engineering required to determine structural load, as well as the
expense thereof. The persons employed to move such equipment in or out of the
