1. GRANTING CLAUSE. In consideration of the obligation of Tenant to pay
rent as herein provided and in consideration of the other terms, covenants, and
conditions hereof, Landlord leases to Tenant, and Tenant takes from Landlord,
the Premises, to have and to hold for the Lease Term, subject to the terms,
covenants and conditions of this Lease.
2. ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES. Landlord agrees to install the tenant
improvements (the "Initial Tenant Improvements") described in the Construction
Addendum attached hereto as Addendum 2 and Tenant shall accept the Premises in
its condition as of the Commencement Date, subject to all applicable laws,
ordinances and regulations. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has made no
representation or warranty as to the suitability of the Premises for the conduct
of Tenant's business, and Tenant waives any implied warranty that the Premises
are suitable for Tenant's intended purposes. The taking of possession of the
Premises shall be conclusive evidence that Tenant accepts the Premises and that
the Premises were in good condition at the time possession was taken except for
any punchlist items agreed to in writing by Landlord and Tenant. In no event
shall Landlord be liable for any defects in the Premises (except as set forth in
this Paragraph 2 of the Lease) or for any limitation on its use (except as a
direct result of construction defects).
Landlord shall deliver the Premises to Tenant clean and free of
debris on the Commencement Date and warrants to Tenant (which warranty shall
survive for a period of one year following the Commencement Date) that the
existing structural portions of the Premises including roof, roof membranes and
surface, foundations, exterior walls, support beams, plumbing, fire sprinkler
system, lighting, HVAC, window seals, electrical systems, and loading doors, if
any, in the Premises shall be in good operating condition on the Commencement
Date. If a non-compliance exists as of the Commencement Date, Landlord shall,
except as otherwise provided in this Lease, promptly after receipt of written
notice from Tenant setting forth the nature and extent of such non-compliance,
rectify same at Landlord's cost and expense.
The Building and that portion of the Premises already constructed
and to be constructed by Landlord or Landlord's contractor, have been or will be
constructed in material compliance with all current governmental regulations,
ordinances, and laws including zoning and building codes, regulations and
ordinances and all applicable covenants and restrictions of record which are in
effect on or prior to the completion of the buildout of the Tenant Improvements,
including the provisions of Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act as
they may apply to the Building and that portion of the Premises already
constructed.
Landlord will be fully responsible for making all alterations and
repairs to the Building and the Premises at its cost (which shall not be
included as Operating Expenses), resulting from or necessitated by the failure
by Landlord, Landlord's contractor, the Building or the Premises to comply with
such governmental regulations, ordinances and laws, all as in effect as of the
Commencement Date only, provided that such non-compliance is not the result of
Tenant's use or occupancy of the Building or the Premises.
3. USE. The Premises shall be used only for the purpose of receiving,
light manufacturing, storing, shipping and selling products, materials and
merchandise made and/or distributed by Tenant and for such other lawful purposes
as may be incidental thereto. Tenant shall not conduct or give notice of any
auction, liquidation, or going out of business sale on the Premises. Tenant will
use the Premises in a careful, safe and proper manner and will not commit waste
thereon.
Tenant, at its sole expense, shall comply with all laws (including,
without limitation, Environmental Requirements, as defined herein, and laws
regarding access for handicapped or disabled persons), ordinances and
regulations, and all declarations, covenants, and restrictions, applicable to
Tenant's use or occupation of the Premises, and with all governmental orders and
directives of public officers which impose any duty or restriction with respect
to the use or occupation of the Premises. Outside storage, including without
limitation, storage of trucks and other vehicles, is prohibited without
Landlord's prior written consent. No use shall be made of the Premises that
would constitute the Project as a place of public accommodation under the
Americans with
2
3
Disabilities Act or similar state statutes or local ordinances or any
regulations promulgated thereunder, all as may be amended from time to time (the
"ADA"); and Tenant shall cause the Premises (and, to the extent required by
improvements to the Premises, the Project) to comply with the ADA. All
improvements constructed pursuant to the Construction Addendum shall comply, as
of the Commencement Date, with the ADA; provided, however that Landlord shall
not be required to make any improvements which may be required if the Premises
are to be used as a place of public accommodation.
Tenant shall not permit any objectionable or unpleasant odors,
smoke, dust, gas, noise, or vibrations, all as reasonably determined by
Landlord, to emanate from the Premises, or take any other action that, in the
reasonable opinion of Landlord, would constitute a nuisance or would disturb,
unreasonably interfere with, or endanger Landlord or any other tenants of the
Project. Landlord has inspected Tenant's warehouse space located at ▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, and does not believe that the
operations at such site would constitute a nuisance if such operations occurred
in the Project. Tenant will not use or permit the Premises to be used for any
purpose or in any manner that would void Tenant's or Landlord's insurance,
increase the insurance risk, or cause the disallowance of any sprinkler credits.
If any increase in the cost of any insurance on the Premises or the Project is
caused by Tenant's use of the Premises, then Tenant shall pay the amount of such
increase to Landlord.
4. BASE RENT. Tenant shall pay Base Rent in the amount set forth above.
The first month's Base Rent, the Security Deposit, and the first monthly
installment of estimated Operating Expenses (as hereafter defined) shall be due
and payable on the date hereof, and Tenant promises to pay to Landlord in
advance, without demand, deduction or set-off, monthly installments of Base Rent
on or before the first day of each calendar month succeeding the Commencement
Date. Payments of Base Rent for any fractional calendar month shall be prorated.
All payments required to be made by Tenant to Landlord hereunder shall be
payable at such address as Landlord may specify from time to time by written
notice delivered in accordance herewith. The obligation of Tenant to pay Base
Rent and other sums to Landlord and the obligations of Landlord under this Lease
are independent obligations. Tenant shall have no right at any time to ▇▇▇▇▇,
reduce, or set-off any rent due hereunder except where expressly provided in
this Lease.
If Tenant is delinquent in any monthly installment of Base Rent or
of estimated Operating Expenses for more than 5 days, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord on demand a late charge equal to 3 percent of such delinquent sum. The
provision for such late charge shall be in addition to all of Landlord's other
rights and remedies hereunder or at law and shall not be construed as a penalty.
Notwithstanding the above, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay the late charge
until Landlord has given Tenant 5 days written notice of the delinquent payment
(which may be give at any time during the delinquency); provided, however, that
such notice shall not be required more than twice in any 12-month period or five
times over the term of the Lease.
5. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Tenant shall deposit with Landlord on the date hereof
the Security Deposit, which shall be held by Landlord as security for the
performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. The Security Deposit is
not an advance rental deposit or a measure of Landlord's damages in case of
Tenant's default. Upon each occurrence of an Event of Default (hereinafter
defined), Landlord may use all or part of the Security Deposit to pay delinquent
payments due under this Lease, and the cost of any damage, injury, expense or
liability caused by such Event of Default, without prejudice to any other remedy
provided herein or provided by law. Tenant shall pay Landlord on demand the
amount that will restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Landlord's
obligation respecting the Security Deposit is that of a debtor, not a trustee;
no interest shall accrue thereon. The Security Deposit shall be the property of
Landlord, but shall be paid to Tenant when Tenant's obligations under this Lease
have been completely fulfilled. Landlord shall be released from any obligation
with respect to the Security Deposit upon transfer of this Lease and the
Premises to a person or entity assuming Landlord's obligations under this
Paragraph 5. Tenant shall have no obligation or liability to any person or
entity which assumes Landlord's interest in this Lease, the Premises or Project
to pay any additional Security Deposit if Landlord falls to transfer such
Security Deposit to such person or entity.

6. OPERATING EXPENSE PAYMENTS. During each month of the Lease Term, on the
same date that Base Rent is due, Tenant shall pay Landlord an amount equal to
1/12 of the annual cost, as estimated by Landlord from time to time, of Tenant's
Proportionate Share (hereinafter defined) of Operating Expenses for the Project.
Payments thereof for any fractional calendar month shall be prorated. The term
"Operating Expenses" means all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord with
respect to the ownership, maintenance, and operation of the Project including,
but not limited to costs of: Taxes (hereinafter defined) and reasonable fees
payable to tax consultants and attorneys for consultation and contesting taxes;
insurance; utilities; maintenance and repair of the roof of Building B or
Building C; maintenance and repair of all common area portions of the Project,
including without limitation, paving and parking areas, roads, alleys, and
driveways, mowing, landscaping, exterior painting of the Premises, utility
lines, mechanical systems serving the Premises or the common areas and other
items described in Paragraph 11 below; amounts paid to contractors and
subcontractors for work or services performed in connection with any of the
foregoing; charges or assessments of any association to which the Project is
subject; property management fees payable to a property manager in an amount not
to exceed the "market rate" in Fremont, California, including any affiliate of
Landlord, or if there is no property manager, an administration fee of 5 percent
of Operating Expenses payable to Landlord; security services, if any; trash
collection, sweeping and removal; and additions or alterations made by Landlord
to the Project in order to comply with applicable laws or codes (not in effect
as of the Commencement Date) as amended from time to time or that are
appropriate to the continued operation of the Project as a bulk warehouse
facility in the market area, provided that the cost of such additions or
alterations that are required to be capitalized for federal income tax purposes
shall be amortized on a straight line basis over a period equal to the lesser of
the useful life thereof for federal income tax purposes or 10 years. Operating
Expenses do not include the following matters: costs or expenses or depreciation
or amortization for capital repairs and capital replacements required to be made
by Landlord under Paragraph 10 of this Lease, debt service under mortgages or
ground rent under ground leases, costs of restoration to the extent of net
insurance proceeds received by Landlord with respect thereto, leasing
commissions, the costs of renovating space for tenants expenses of initial
development and construction, including, but not limited to, grading, paving,
landscaping and decorating; expenses for which Landlord is reimbursed or
indemnified (either by an insurer, condemnor, warrantor, or otherwise); losses
which would have been insured losses if Landlord had carried the insurance
required of Landlord under this Lease; legal expenses arising out of the initial
construction of the Premises, or any tenant improvements or disputes with other
tenants of the Project; the cost of any work or service performed for or
facilities furnished to Tenant at Tenant expense; any cost or expense
representing an amount paid to an entity affiliated in any way with Landlord
which is in excess of the market rate for such work or service; any interest or
penalties imposed upon Landlord by any taxing authority for late payment or
otherwise; any costs related to the sale or financing of the Premises, or any
part thereof; costs relating to the disposition of Hazardous Materials (but this
exclusion shall not constitute a release by Landlord of Tenant for any such
costs for which Tenant is liable pursuant to Paragraph 30 of this Lease);
Landlord's advertising or promotional costs or charitable contributions; any
costs or expenses incurred in connection with any voluntary/traffic mitigation
actions; costs of maintenance, repair or replacements covered by warranty; costs
of correcting latent or patent defects in the construction of the Building, the
Premises or the Project, and any fines, penalties or interest charged against
Landlord.
Within a reasonable period after the conclusion of each calendar
year (or more frequently, if desired by Landlord) Landlord shall furnish Tenant
with a statement (the "Operating Expense Statement") showing in reasonable
detail the Operating Expense for the appropriate period. If Tenant's total
payments for any year are less than Tenant's Proportionate Share of actual
Operating Expenses for such year, Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord
within 30 days after demand. If the total payments of Tenant for any year are
more than Tenant's Proportionate Share of actual Operating Expenses for such
year, Landlord shall retain such excess and credit it against Tenant's next
payments. For purposes of calculating Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating
Expenses, a year shall mean a calendar year except the first year, which shall
begin on the Commencement Date, and the last year, which shall end on the
expiration of this Lease. With respect to Operating Expenses which Landlord
allocates to the entire Project, Tenant's "Proportionate Share" shall be the
percentage set forth on the first page of this Lease as Tenant's Proportionate
Share of the Project as reasonably adjusted by Landlord in the future for
changes in the physical size of the Premises or the Project; and, with respect
to Operating Expenses which Landlord allocates only
4
5
to the Building, Tenant's "Proportionate Share" shall be the percentage set
forth on the first page of this Lease as Tenant's Proportionate Share of the
Building as reasonably adjusted by Landlord in the future for changes in the
physical size of the Premises or the Building. Landlord may equitably increase
Tenant's Proportionate Share for any item of expense or cost reimbursable by
Tenant that relates to a repair, replacement, or service that benefits only the
Premises or only a portion of the Project that includes the Premises or that
vanes with the occupancy of the Project. The estimated Operating Expenses for
the Premises set forth on the first page of this Lease are only estimates, and
Landlord makes no guaranty or warranty that such estimates will be accurate. At
any time within 3 months after Landlord has issued an Operating Statement, and
after at least 2 days prior written notice to Landlord, Tenant will have the
right, during normal business hours, to review and audit the books and records
of Landlord (at the office of Landlord at which such books and records are
routinely maintained) relating to such Operating Expense Statement only, in
order to verify the sums paid by Tenant for Operating Expenses.
7. UTILITIES. Tenant shall pay for all water, gas, electricity, heat,
light, power, telephone, sewer, sprinkler services, refuse and trash collection,
and other utilities and services used on the Premises, all maintenance charges
for utilities, and any storm sewer charges or other similar charges for
utilities imposed by any governmental entity or utility provider, together with
any taxes, penalties, surcharges or the like pertaining to Tenant's use of the
Premises. Landlord shall have the right to cause at Tenant's expense any of said
services to be separately metered or charged directly to Tenant by the provider.
Tenant shall pay its share of all charges for jointly metered utilities based
upon consumption, as reasonably determined by Landlord. Except as set forth
below, Landlord shall not be liable for any interruption or failure of utilities
or any other service to the Premises and no such interruption or failure shall
result in the abatement of rent hereunder. If an interruption or cessation of
utilities occurs and the Premises are not usable by Tenant for the conduct of
Tenant's business as a result thereof, Base Rent and applicable Operating
Expenses not actually incurred by Tenant shall be abated for the period which
commences five (5) business days after the date Tenant gives Landlord notice of
such interruption until such utilities are restored. Tenant agrees to limit use
of water and sewer for normal restroom use and nothing herein contained shall
impose upon Landlord any duty to provide sewer or water usage for other than
normal restroom usage.
8. TAXES. Landlord agrees to pay all taxes, assessments and governmental
charges of any kind and nature (collectively referred to as "Taxes") that accrue
against the Project during the Lease Term, which shall be included as part of
the Operating Expenses charged to Tenant hereunder, provided Landlord shall have
the right to contest by appropriate legal proceedings the amount, validity, or
application of any Taxes or liens thereof. All capital levies or other taxes
assessed or imposed on Landlord upon the rents payable to Landlord under this
Lease and any franchise tax, any excise, transaction, sales or privilege tax,
assessment, levy or charge measured by or based, in whole or in part, upon such
rents from the Premises and/or the Project or any portion thereof shall be paid
by Tenant to Landlord monthly in estimated installments or, within 20 days after
demand, at the option of Landlord, as additional rent; provided, however, in no
event shall Tenant be liable for any net income taxes imposed on Landlord unless
such net income taxes are in substitution for any Taxes payable hereunder. If
any such tax or excise is levied or assessed directly against Tenant, then
Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay the same at such times and in such
manner as the taxing authority shall require. Tenant shall be liable for all
taxes levied or assessed against any personal properly or fixtures placed in the
Premises, whether levied or assessed against Landlord or Tenant.
9. INSURANCE. Landlord shall maintain all risk property insurance covering
the replacement cost of the Project, commercial liability insurance and rent
loss insurance. Landlord may, but is not obligated to, maintain such other
insurance and additional coverages as it may deem necessary. All such insurance
shall be included as part of the Operating Expenses charged to Tenant hereunder.
The Project may be included in a blanket policy (in which case the cost of such
insurance allocable to the Project will be determined by Landlord based upon the
insurer's cost calculations).
Tenant, at its expense, shall maintain during the Lease Term a
policy or policies of: all risk property insurance coveting the replacement cost
of all property and improvements, installed or placed in the
5
6
Premises by Tenant at Tenant's expense; worker's compensation insurance with no
less than the minimum limits required by law; employer's liability insurance
with such limits as required by law; and commercial liability insurance, with a
minimum limit of $1,000,000 per occurrence and a minimum umbrella limit of
$1,000,000, for a total minimum combined general liability and umbrella limit of
$2,000,000 (together with such additional umbrella coverage as Landlord may
reasonably require) for properly damage, personal injuries, or deaths of persons
occurring in or about the Premises. The commercial liability policies shall name
Landlord as an additional insured, insure on an occurrence and not a claims-made
basis, be issued by insurance companies which are reasonably acceptable to
Landlord, not be cancelable unless 30 days prior written notice shall have been
given to Landlord, contain a hostile fire endorsement and a contractual
liability endorsement and provide primary coverage to Landlord (any policy
issued to Landlord providing duplicate or similar coverage shall be deemed
excess over Tenant's policies). Such policies or certificates thereof shall be
delivered to Landlord by Tenant upon commencement of the Lease Term and upon
each renewal of said insurance.
The all risk property insurance obtained by Landlord and Tenant
shall include a waiver of subrogation by the insurers and all rights based upon
an assignment from its insured, against Landlord or Tenant, their officers,
directors, employees, managers, agents, invitees and contractors, in connection
with any loss or damage thereby insured against. Neither party nor its officers,
directors, employees, managers, agents, invitees or contractors shall be liable
to the other for loss or damage caused by any risk coverable by all risk
property insurance, and each party waives any claims against the other party,
and its officers, directors, employees, managers, agents, invitees and
contractors for such loss or damage. The failure of a party to insure its
property shall not void this waiver.
10. LANDLORD'S REPAIRS. Landlord shall maintain, at its expense, only the
structural soundness of the roof, foundation, and exterior walls of the building
of which the Premises are a part in good repair, reasonable wear and tear and
casualty losses and damages caused by Tenant excluded. The term "walls" as used
in this Paragraph 10 shall not include windows, glass or plate glass, doors or
overhead doors, special store fronts, dock bumpers, dock plates or levelers, or
office entries. Tenant shall immediately give Landlord written notice of any
repair required by Landlord pursuant to this Paragraph 10, after which Landlord
shall have a reasonable opportunity to repair.
11. TENANT'S REPAIRS. Landlord shall maintain in good repair and condition
all parts of the Premises and the parking areas, driveways, alleys, spur tracks,
and landscape and grounds surrounding the Premises. Such maintenance shall be at
Tenant's cost and expense except as to those repairs for which Landlord is
responsible under Paragraph 10. If Tenant leases less than the entire Project,
Tenant shall only be responsible for its Proportionate Share of the costs of
maintaining any items outside its Premises. Landlord shall at Tenant's expense
maintain the heating and air conditioning and other mechanical systems and
components of the Premises, including lighting, electrical systems, and plumbing
lines and equipment. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all such costs and
expenses in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 6 above, except to the
extent such repairs and replacements are covered by insurance on the Project
under policies naming Landlord as the insured. Landlord may at any time upon
Tenant's prior written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld require
Tenant to assume the maintenance and repair obligations set forth in this
paragraph as they relate to the Premises. In such case, Tenant, at its own cost
and expense, shall enter into and deliver to Landlord maintenance service
contracts reasonably acceptable to Landlord with a contractor(s) approved by
Landlord for hot water, heating and air conditioning, and other mechanical
systems and equipment within or serving the Premises. The service and
maintenance contract(s) must include all services required by Landlord and must
become effective within 30 days after Landlord's request. In the event Tenant
does not so deliver the service contract(s), Landlord shall have the right to
contract for said service upon 48 hours prior written notice to Tenant, and
Tenant shall upon demand reimburse Landlord for the full cost thereof. Subject
to the provisions of Paragraphs 9 and 15, Tenant shall repair and pay for any
damage to the Premises or the Project caused by Tenant or Tenant's employees,
agents, or invitees, or caused by Tenant's default hereunder, reasonable wear
and tear excepted.

12. TENANT IMPROVEMENTS AND TRADE FIXTURES. Any alterations, additions, or
improvements made by or on behalf of Tenant to the Premises ("Tenant
Improvements") of greater than $25,000 shall be subject to Landlord's prior
written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld provided that the roof
membrane and the structural components and mechanical systems of the Building
are unaffected. No alterations, additions or improvements of less than $25,000
shall affect the roof membrane, structural components or mechanical systems of
the Building. All Tenant Improvements shall comply with insurance requirements
and with applicable laws, ordinances, and regulations, including, without
limitation and to the extent applicable, laws and regulations regarding removal
or alteration of structural or architectural barriers to handicapped or disabled
persons (and Tenant shall construct at its expense any alteration required by
such laws or regulations, as they may be amended). All Tenant Improvements shall
be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner and only good grades of
materials shall be used. All plans and specifications for any Tenant
Improvements shall be submitted to Landlord for its approval, and Landlord may
monitor construction of the Tenant Improvements; and Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord for its actual, out-of-pocket reasonable costs in reviewing plans and
documents and in monitoring construction. Landlord may post on and about the
Premises notices and give notices that Landlord shall not be liable on account
of any damage or claim in connection with such construction, and Tenant shall
provide Landlord with the identities and mailing addresses of all persons
performing work or supplying materials, prior to beginning such construction.
Landlord's right to review plans and specifications and monitor construction
shall be solely for its own benefit, and Landlord shall have no duty to see that
such plans and specifications or construction comply with applicable laws,
codes, rules, or regulations. At Landlord's request, Tenant shall obtain payment
and performance bonds for any Tenant Improvements, the cost of which exceed
$100,000 which bonds shall be delivered to Landlord prior to commencement of
work on the Tenant Improvements and shall be in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord. Upon completion of any Tenant Improvements, Tenant
shall deliver to Landlord sworn statements setting forth the names of all
contractors and subcontractors who did work on the Tenant Improvements and final
lien waivers from all such contractors and subcontractors.
Tenant, at its own cost and expense, may erect such shelves, bins,
machinery and trade fixtures (collectively "Trade Fixtures") as it desires
provided that such items do not alter the basic character of the Premises or the
Project, do not overload or damage the same, and may be removed without injury
to the Premises, and provided that the construction, erection, and installation
thereof complies with all applicable governmental laws, ordinances, regulations
and with Landlord's requirements. Subject to Paragraph 21 below, upon the
expiration of the Lease Term. Tenant shall remove its Trade Fixtures and shall
repair any damage caused by such removal, by the last day of the Lease Term.
13. SIGNS. Tenant shall not make any changes to the exterior of the
Premises, install any exterior lights, decorations, balloons, flags, pennants,
banners, or painting, or erect or install any signs, windows or door lettering,
placards, decorations, or advertising media of any type which can be viewed from
the exterior of the Premises, without Landlord's prior written consent which
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed provided that the Sign Criteria
set forth on Exhibit D has been satisfied. Upon vacation of the Premises, Tenant
shall remove all signs and repair, paint, and/or replace the building facia
surface to which its signs are attached. Tenant shall obtain all applicable
governmental permits and approvals for sign and exterior treatments. All signs,
decorations, advertising media, blinds, draperies and other window treatment or
bars or other security installations visible from outside the Premises shall be
subject to Landlord's approval and conform in all respects to Landlord's
requirements.
14. PARKING. Tenant shall be entitled to park in common with other tenants
of the Project in those areas designated for nonreserved parking. In addition,
Tenant shall be entitled to approximately 3.5 unmarked parking spaces per
thousand square feet of Premises. Landlord may allocate parking spaces among
Tenant and other tenants in the Project if Landlord determines that such parking
facilities are becoming crowded.
15. FIRE AND CASUALTY DAMAGE. If at any time during the Lease Term, the
Premises or the Project is damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall
notify Tenant, within 45 days after such damage, as to the amount of time
Landlord reasonably estimates it will take to repair such damage. If the amount
of such time
7
8
exceeds 6 months, either Landlord or Tenant may elect, upon notice to the other
party delivered as soon as practicable but not later than 30 days after
Landlord's notice, to terminate this Lease. If neither party elects to terminate
this Lease or if Landlord estimates that the, damage will ▇▇▇▇ ▇ months or less
to repair, Landlord shall promptly repair and reconstruct the improvements,
subject to delays arising from the collection of insurance proceeds or from
Force Majeure events, except that Landlord shall not be required to repair and
reconstruct any fixtures, additions, or other improvements paid for by Tenant;
and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect provided that the Lease
Term will be extended for a time equal to the period beginning on the date the
loss or damage was suffered until the repairs and replacement are completed.
Tenant at Tenant's expense shall promptly perform, subject to delays arising
from the collection of insurance proceeds, all repairs or restoration not
required to be done by Landlord and shall promptly reenter the Premises and
commence doing business in accordance with this Lease. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, either party may terminate this Lease if the improvements are damaged
during the last year of the Lease Term and Landlord reasonably estimates that it
will take more than one month to repair such damage.
If the Premises or a portion thereof is not usable as a result of
damage by fire or other casualty to the Premises or building in which the
Premises are located, and Landlord elects to repair and/or reconstruct the
damaged improvements, Base Rent and Operating Expenses shall be abated for the
period of repair and reconstruction in the proportion which the area of the
Premises which is not usable by Tenant bears (as reasonably determined by
Landlord and Tenant) to the total area of the Premises. Such abatement shall be
the sole remedy of Tenant, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, and
except as provided herein, Tenant waives any right to terminate the Lease by
reason of damage or casualty loss.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 15 to the contrary, if
Landlord fails to use all reasonable efforts to complete repair and restoration
of damage to the Premises within six (6) months after determination of the
estimated repair and restoration period Tenant may, at its option, terminate
this Lease effective as of the date of damage upon written notice to Landlord
given at any time within 10 days after the 180th day after the date of damage to
the Premises. If, however, Landlord is unable to complete the repair or
restoration to the Premises within 6 months after the use of all reasonable
efforts to do so (and such failure is not the result of an event of Force
Majeure), Tenant shall have no right to terminate the Lease unless Landlord
fails to complete the repair or restoration within 270 days after the date
damage occurs, in which event Tenant may terminate this Lease upon written
notice to Landlord given at any time within 10 days thereafter. If as a result
of an event of Force Majeure, Landlord is unable to complete the repair and
restoration to the Premises within six months after determination of the
estimated repair and restoration period, Landlord shall continue to use its best
efforts to complete the work of repair and restoration and Tenant shall have no
right to terminate this Lease unless Landlord fails to complete work of repair
and restoration within 12 months after the determination of the estimated repair
and restoration period.
16. CONDEMNATION. If any part of the Premises or the Project should be
taken for any public or quasi-public use under governmental law, ordinance, or
regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu
thereof (a "Taking" or "Taken"), and the Taking would prevent or materially
interfere with use of the Premises as reasonably determined by Tenant or in
Landlord's judgment would materially interfere with or impair its ownership or
operation of the Project, then upon written notice by Landlord or Tenant, as the
case may be this Lease shall terminate and Base Rent and Operating Expenses
shall be apportioned as of said date. If part of the Premises shall be Taken,
and this Lease is not terminated as provided above, the Base Rent and Operating
Expenses payable hereunder during the unexpired Lease Term shall be reduced by
the proportion that the square footage taken bears to the total square footage
of the Premises. In the event of any such Taking, Landlord shall be entitled to
receive the entire price or award from any such Taking without any payment to
Tenant, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord Tenant's interest, if any, in such
award. Tenant shall have the right, to the extent that same shall not diminish
Landlord's award, to make a separate claim against the condemning authority (but
not Landlord) for such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable
by Tenant for moving expenses and damage to Tenant's Trade Fixtures, if a
separate award for such items is made to Tenant.

17. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. Without Landlord's prior written consent,
which Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, Tenant shall not assign this
Lease or sublease the Premises or any part thereof or mortgage, pledge, or
hypothecate its leasehold interest or grant any concession or license within the
Premises and any attempt to do any of the foregoing shall be void and of no
effect. For purposes of this paragraph, a transfer of the ownership interests
controlling Tenant shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease unless Tenant's
ownership interests are publicly traded. Notwithstanding the above, Tenant may
assign or sublet the Premises, or any part thereof, to any entity controlling
Tenant, controlled by Tenant or under common control with Tenant (a "Tenant
Affiliate"), without the prior written consent of Landlord. Provided no default
has occurred and is continuing under this Lease, upon 10 days prior written
notice to Landlord, Tenant may, without Landlord's prior written consent, assign
this Lease to an entity into which Tenant is merged or consolidated or to an
entity to which substantially all of Tenant's assets are transferred, provided
(x) such merger, consolidation, or transfer of assets is for a good business
purpose and not principally for the purpose of transferring Tenant's leasehold
estate, and (y) the assignee or successor entity has a net worth at least equal
to the net worth of Tenant immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, or
transfer. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all of Landlord's reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses in connection with any assignment or sublease, not to
exceed $1,000 in each case. Upon Landlord's receipt of Tenant's written notice
of a desire to assign or sublet the Premises, or any part thereof (other than to
a Tenant Affiliate), Landlord may, by giving written notice to Tenant within 10
days after receipt of Tenant's notice, terminate this Lease with respect to the
space described in Tenant's notice, as of the date specified in Tenant's notice
for the commencement of the proposed assignment or sublease. If Landlord so
terminates the Lease, Landlord may enter into a lease directly with the proposed
sublessee or assignee. Tenant may withdraw its notice to sublease or assign by
notifying Landlord within 10 days after Landlord has given Tenant notice of such
termination, in which case the Lease shall not terminate but shall continue.
It shall be reasonable for the Landlord to withhold its consent to
any assignment or sublease in any of the following instances: (i) an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing that would not be cured upon the proposed
sublease or assignment; (ii) the assignee or sublessee does not have a
reasonable net worth as determined by Landlord in its sole discretion; (iii) the
intended use of the Premises by the assignee or sublessee is not reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord; (iv) occupancy of the Premises by the assignee or
sublessee would, in Landlord's opinion, violate an agreement binding upon
Landlord or the Project with regard to the identity of tenants, usage in the
Project, or similar matters; (v) the identity or business reputation of the
assignee or sublessee will, in the good faith judgment of Landlord, tend to
damage the goodwill or reputation of the Project; (vi) in the case of a
sublease, the subtenant has not acknowledged that the Lease controls over any
inconsistent provision in the sublease; or (vii) the proposed assignee or
sublessee is a governmental agency. Tenant and Landlord acknowledge that each of
the foregoing criterion are reasonable as of the date of execution of this
Lease. The foregoing criteria shall not exclude any other reasonable basis for
Landlord to refuse its consent to such assignment or sublease. Any approved
assignment or sublease shall be expressly subject to the terms and conditions of
this Lease. Tenant shall provide to Landlord all information concerning the
assignee or sublessee as Landlord may request.
Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting, Tenant shall at all
times remain fully responsible and liable for the payment of the rent and for
compliance with all of Tenant's other obligations under this Lease (regardless
of whether Landlord's approval has been obtained for any such assignments or
sublettings). In the event that the rent due and payable by a sublessee or
assignee (or a combination of the rental payable under such sublease or
assignment plus any bonus or other consideration therefor or incident thereto)
exceeds the rental payable under this Lease, then Tenant shall be bound and
obligated to pay Landlord as additional rent hereunder 50% of such excess rental
and other excess consideration within 10 days following receipt thereof by
Tenant.
If this Lease be assigned or if the Premises be subleased (whether
in whole or in part) or in the event of the mortgage, pledge, or hypothecation
of Tenant's leasehold interest or grant of any concession or license within the
Premises or if the Premises be occupied in whole or in part by anyone other than
Tenant, then upon a default by Tenant hereunder Landlord may collect rent from
the assignee, sublessee, mortgagee, pledgee, party to whom the leasehold
interest was hypothecated, concessionee or licensee or other occupant and,
except to the extent
9
10
set forth in the preceding paragraph, apply the amount collected to the next
rent payable hereunder; and all such rentals collected by Tenant shall be held
in trust for Landlord and immediately forwarded to Landlord. No such transaction
or collection of rent or application thereof by Landlord, however, shall be
deemed a waiver of these provisions or a release of Tenant from the further
performance by Tenant of its covenants, duties, or obligations hereunder.
18. INDEMNIFICATION AND WAIVER. Except for the negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees, or contractors and to the extent
permitted by law, Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord,
and Landlord's agents, employees and contractors, from and against any and all
losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees)
resulting from claims by third parties for injuries to any person and damage to
or theft or misappropriation or loss of property occurring in or about the
Project and arising from the use and occupancy of the Premises or from any
activity, work, or thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant in or about the
Premises or due to any other act or omission of Tenant, its subtenants,
assignees, invitees, employees, contractors and agents. The furnishing of
insurance required hereunder shall not be deemed to limit Tenant's obligations
under the provisions of this Paragraph 18.
